Quick Wear: Female Supporting Role

Chapter 106: Keep the comfort for yourself

Because Anxianglai's business is booming and he is in the spotlight, he may become a thorn in the eyes of others at any time.

A carrier pigeon landed in front of the window. The little boy went forward, picked up the pigeon, took out the letter and handed it to the person in the study.

"She is quite brave." The man in white put down the letter, then picked up the pen to write back.

Soon the letter arrived, and Mei Zi directly ordered: "Anxianglai is closed and will not welcome guests for the time being."

The boss was very confused as the shop had just been open for less than three months and it was already closed.

Mei Zi seemed to be relieved, and raised her lips, "You have worked hard recently, don't worry, your salary will remain the same after the business is closed."

The boss gave the order, and even though the shopkeeper didn't understand, he still did it.

Mei Zi has had very busy time during this period. After meeting Ling Ruoli, she has done things that she had never thought of in her life.

"That's great." She will be back soon. Thinking of this, Mei Zi was so happy holding the letter. Then she changed her mind and said, "No, I have done a lot for her. I have to bring her to the store to do some hard labor."

At first, Ling Ruoli ran around, and after getting married, she left all these family businesses to herself alone, and then An Xianglai mentioned a word.

The Xiaorou we hired was even more terrible. She was not seen for a long time and disappeared every two or three days. Fortunately, Xiaorou died first, which doubled the customer flow, so we just let her be.

At this moment, the door outside the house opened wide. Mei Zi, still immersed in joy, turned around and looked at Wan'er with a sullen face.

"What's up?"

"Why are you closing down?" Since that day, Wan'er has been nothing but a nobody, and all her fame and glory has been snatched away by others.

Wan'er came to see her boss. Meizi was watering the flowers and didn't blame her for being rude: "You won't lose your wages. Go back and have a good rest while you wait for the opening."

"Wan'er doesn't understand, but what happened?" She didn't understand, the store was running well. It was just that everything happened too suddenly, and she had been suppressing her inner thoughts and never expressed them.

This time, it's not just about the store, but also about what I want.

Mei Zi said in a relaxed tone, "It's nothing. Everyone has worked hard during this period. Wouldn't it be nice to take a break for a while? If you have nothing else to do, go down."

But the man just stood there, motionless. Mei Zi stopped what she was doing and asked, "What's wrong?"

Unexpectedly, when Wan'er asked again, Mei Zi knew what she meant but she just kept refusing.

I really don’t understand why you have to contact the powerful.

"What's so good about the official residence? Isn't it good for me to come here? You are not allowed to meet guests, but just sit behind the screen and play a song. You are also not asked to do anything every day." Mei Zi said, "You are still young. I will find a good family for you to marry and live a stable life in the future."

"No," Wan'er shook her head and bit her lips.

"No?" Mei Zi's face was solemn. She had come five times already, and it would be foolish to force her to stay. Mei Zi then sat down, sighed and said, "Okay, if you want to be a queen, I won't stop you."

"Thank you, sister." When Wan'er saved her, she told her life story. Her father was originally a county magistrate's lawyer, and was involved in a corruption case, but in the end only her father was tried, and the county magistrate was not in trouble.

Wan'er lost her mother at a young age and was raised by her father. That day, she watched her father lying in a pool of blood, and she was dragged away by a group of people and rushed around.

Because of this incident, Mei Zi took special care of Wan'er.

But Wan'er was unwilling to give up. She said that as long as she had the power, she would use it to punish all those who harmed her and make their lives worse than death.

"I hope my sister can help me." Wan'er knew that Mei Zi was secretly colluding with officials, and this was an opportunity for her.

On the day the army returns to the capital, the court will surely hold a grand banquet with singing and dancing, and Mei Zi can easily place someone there.

When Wan'er heard that she could perform, her face immediately became cheerful, "Sister, let me go! Wan'er wants to go."

Mei Zi still asked: "Is my place really not comparable to the imperial palace?"

Here Wan'er just plays a few little tunes every day. How comfortable she is. Of course, this is what Mei Zi feels.

"This is Wan'er's home, but Wan'er wants to help her sister. You've been asking for help everywhere, but those officials won't even show up. Why don't you let me go? I'll definitely be able to help my sister in the future."

In response to Wan'er's repeated requests, Mei Zi had no choice but to agree and asked her to make good preparations for her performance in a month!

Thinking about what Ling Ruoli said at the beginning, that it would be better to let the person go, Mei Zi began to feel more open-minded.

When Anxiang came to close down his business, some people panicked, including the officials who came and went, and they sent people every day to inquire about the news.

Meanwhile, Mei Zi arranged an identity for Wan'er, the adopted daughter of Zhao Hanshan, a clerk in the Ministry of Justice.

"Thank you sister!"

"Okay" after sending the person over, Mei Zi turned around and left. Someone would naturally arrange the rest.

On the way back, Mei Zi heard a scream and walked a few steps towards that direction. She saw a man who looked like a scholar in tattered clothes, covered with bruises, and then was thrown out.

"roll"

There was no movement for a long time. The man was lying on the ground with blood stains on his dirty clothes.

"Go and see how he is?" Since I have seen him, I will consider it as atonement for myself.

Knowing that the person still had a breath left, Mei Zi asked someone to send him to a doctor. If there was no place to go, she would send him to a yard in the suburbs.

Anyway, she has a house in the suburbs, and all the people here are the ones she took in before. She wanted to tell Ling Ruoli about this, her secret.

That night, a mysterious visitor arrived. Mei Zi never expected that it was the Right Prime Minister Ling Rui.

During this period, the treasury was empty, and Ling Rui could only investigate the surface. After learning that most officials had been to Anxianglai, Ling Rui sent people to investigate. As expected, the bottom was found out, so Anxianglai closed down.

This time, Mei Zi was told clearly not to get involved as she was just a woman.

Mei Zi pretended to be confused and sneered, "Sir, what are you talking about?"

The man who abandoned Ling Ruoli now came to persuade her to point out those corrupt officials. Mei Zi just found it funny, because pointing out corrupt officials would only expose herself.

"This is a matter of national importance. If these people are allowed to go unpunished, it will be a misfortune for the country and the people!"

Mei Zi must have evidence of these corrupt officials' money laundering, and she is the manipulator behind the scenes.

"I am just an ordinary person who runs a teahouse, but you are talking to me about these things. It is really alarmist!"

Ling Rui said in a firm tone: "The stakes are very high here. Does Li Er know? Is she involved in this matter?"

Finally, someone was mentioned. Mei Zi showed her attitude without hesitation, "Hey, show him up!"

"Wait a minute." Ling Rui calmed down and tried to persuade her, "If the truth is revealed, they can put all the blame on you. The consequences will be disastrous, Miss Mei, be careful!"

He knew the relationship between Mei Zi and Ling Ruoli, and now he came here hoping that Mei Zi would come to her senses and return to the right path.

"I don't understand what you are talking about?" Mei Zi said, "But what qualifications do you have to come here? You didn't show up when she was arrested, but instead let her get into trouble. Now I want to use my own methods, but you are trying to persuade me. Is she your daughter?"

"So, you really are?"

"Yes," Mei Zi said without hesitation, "What if I did it? I am alone and have no worries. Even if I am guilty, it's just my life! Who can do anything to me?"

Too lazy to talk nonsense, Mei Zi turned and left.

Time stood still. Ling Rui sat down with empty eyes, not knowing where he was.

"Am I wrong?"

He thought that the girl might have been instigated or coerced by someone, and as an elder, he wanted to save her from trouble. But now, it seems that he was wrong.

When Ling Ruoli returned to Ling Mansion, he did abandon Ling Ruoli to save his family. When he heard that someone was exiled to the frontier by His Majesty, he wanted to plead for mercy many times, but he was indecisive!

"Am I wrong?"

The room was quiet, and no one else was there. Naturally, no one responded, and Ling Rui sat there in silence for a long time!

It was midnight when he left the teahouse in a daze.

"Close!"

Mei Zi was fiddling with an abacus in the room and paused for a moment. She knew she had done something wrong!

“It doesn’t matter”

The water is overflowing, the river is rushing, and debris is floating on the water surface.

The water level receded, and the potholes seemed to be lying with their arms open, waiting for the enemy to attack.

The person who was in the beautiful dream woke up. She dreamed that people regarded her second sister as a fairy last night, but she was holding a piece of paper.

There was nothing there, just a blank piece of paper. It turned out that I hadn't written anything, and the Seven Star Pavilion hadn't sent any message.

"Oh." Ling Ruoli stood up, exhaled, and cleaned up.

It's already evening. I dragged my second sister along and went crazy all night last night. I wonder if she is as sleepy as I am.

She went to find Ling Ruoxi and learned that someone had gone to Lian Gong early in the morning and would help repair the city wall.

Ling Ruoli thought: "Isn't she tired? Isn't she still injured?"
