After chatting with Lin Xiaoyue for a long time, Wenwan began to feel sleepy and offered to say goodbye.

Lin Xiaoyue tried to keep her, "It's late at night, why are you going back to do? I'll ask someone to arrange a room for you, so stay here."

Before Wen Wan came, she had already agreed to Song Wei that she would sit and go back. She didn't want to worry her family. She shook her head and said, "Our carriage is outside, so it's very convenient to go back."

"But it's almost over the hour of Hai. Are you still running around outside with my godson in your arms?"

These words made Wen Wan laugh, "Don't worry, Lord Song is so smart, how could he put his wife in danger? Someone is protecting him in the dark!"

"Really?" Lin Xiaoyue didn't know that the secret guards of the Song Mansion were left by the eldest princess at the time, and some questioned their abilities.

"Of course it's true." Wen Wan was afraid that Lin Xiaoyue would ask more questions, and her face was not blushing and her heart was not beating. "The adults hired it for only one night, and it's still expensive. Even if I don't go back, the money will be deducted. Our family is poor, you know, I can't afford to toss."

This is not the first time Lin Xiaoyue heard Wen Wan crying in front of her, but today the situation is special. She originally wanted to ask Wen Wan how much money she hired, but before she could speak, she heard Wen Wan speak out: "Although it's urgent to help me, I don't mind you paying the money for me."

"Did our family's money come from the strong wind?" Lin Xiaoyue snorted, "Every time I come, I will cheat me, you are so beautiful!"

Wen Wan was originally agitated, but she was not surprised by Lin Xiaoyue's reaction and smiled, "Then you rest earlier, I'll leave now."

"Hey, Lord Song really has someone to protect you?" Lin Xiaoyue was still worried. In her opinion, Wen Wan was too weak. If she really met someone who was ill-hearted, she would not have the power to resist at all.

Wen Wan raised her eyebrows, "If there is no arrangement, I will scold him for you when I go back."

"Okay, don't be poor, hurry up and leave. If it's too late, something really messed up."

...

When Wen Wan returned home, Song Wei had not yet stopped and the lights in the study were on.

When Yuncai saw her, she wanted to inform her, but Wenwan didn't let her go and brought her freshly cooked ginseng soup in the kitchen and pushed open the door of the study.

Seeing that my husband was still busy, Wen Wan took light steps.

Song Wei didn't look up, thinking it was Yuncai, so he directly told her, "Put it on the coffee table and go out."

He gently and obediently brought the ginseng soup to the side of the coffee table and gently put it down, and then walked over in a few steps.

Song Wei finally realized something was wrong, looked up and saw that it was Wen Wan, and his eyes quickly became softer, "Why don't you say anything when you come back?"

"It's not a big deal, I'm afraid of disturbing you." Wen Wan moved the embroidery dormitory and sat down beside him. Her eyes fell on the tall stack of books in front of him, and asked, "Are you not finished your work?"

"I'm just looking for some information." Song Wei said, pulling her hand over, feeling the back of her hand cool slightly, and warming her with her palm, "Are you sleepy?"

It would be fine if he didn't ask, but when he asked, Wenwan couldn't help but yawn.

Song Wei helped her up and said, "Go back to the room."

Wenwan pointed to the ginseng soup on the coffee table with her chin, "You haven't drunk it yet, how wasteful it is for the top-grade ginseng that comes out of the palace."

Song Wei chuckled, "It's better to waste than to over-pay it."

Wenwan heard the deep meaning in his words, and her face heated up, "Then... won't drink it?"

"Um."

Wenwan walked over and served the ginseng soup, but she still felt a pity. "If you don't want to drink it, I'll send some to the Xie family and second brother's house another day to avoid wasting it in our house."

Song Wei did not say he disagreed, took the bowl from her hand, and went out to pour the ginseng soup into the flower table.

When she was resting, Song Wei talked to Wen Wan for a while, saying that she would do a heided job tomorrow and would pass by the street market. He asked her what she wanted and he bought it back.

Wen Wan shook her head, "Your Majesty is just doing it with me. What do I lack? The servants in the house will go to make an extra purchase, so you don't have to worry."

When Song Wei heard this, she thought that she did not leave the lamp tonight, so she sent it to the Governor's Office and asked in a low voice, "Is the lamp beautiful?"

"Extremely beautiful." Wen Wan recalled the scene of watching the lights with Lin Xiaoyue by the lake, bent her lips and said, "It's even more magical than what my husband described, and I like it very much."

"Just like it."

As for Wenwan's experience of Lin Xiaoyue's words and doing what she did, Song Wei didn't ask a question. He would never be stingy with the space and freedom he should give her.

...

Song Wei's position was transferred, and the chances of entering the palace had been greatly reduced. However, because of the map, he was summoned by Emperor Guangxi every few days during these days.

The next day, on the 16th day of the first lunar month, Song Wei had just arrived at the Hanlin Academy, and the young father-in-law from the Ganqing Palace came to pass the message.

Song Wei was used to it, so he followed his father-in-law without asking any more questions.

The colleague gave him a thumbs up and whispered: "Sir Song will be promoted to the post in the future, don't forget to give our colleagues a little bite of soup!"

A small Hanlin official can get this honor. They cannot be jealous of them. It is better to please and drink soup.

Song Wei just laughed and did not give any answer.

When he arrived at the Ganqing Palace, Emperor Guangxi asked him if Master Tumo was looking for it.

Song Wei said that he had clues and planned to visit him today.

Emperor Guangxi heard him describe the performance of the drunk man on the Lantern Festival last night, and his eyebrows gradually stretched out and readily agreed to Song Wei's request to ensure his heterodyne.

Song Wei walked out of the imperial city, got on the carriage arranged by Emperor Guangxi, followed the address given by Wei Qian, and soon found the home of the drunken man Chu Xu. He lived in Yong'an Lane, Third Street, Xianyifang, Xicheng.

Song Wei knocked on the door and smelled the smell of wine all over the room.

"Who are the two little men looking for?" Chu Xu was drunk, and there was a bit of a double view of him.

Song Wei bowed, "I wonder if Song can go into the house and talk to his senior in detail?"

Hearing the voice, Chu Xu saw clearly the public uniform on Song Wei's body, and frowned, "Are you a member of the public?"

Before Song Wei could speak, he said again: "Are you here to arrest me or are you planning to silence me?"

Song Wei looked at him, "Why did you catch you, why did you silence me?"

Chu Xu was stunned and looked at him carefully for a while, "What is the matter when the official came to my doghouse?"

Due to the situation, Song Wei had no time to talk nonsense to him and went straight to the point, "I'm going to hide it from you. I'm here today to ask my senior to help take off a double-layer painting."

Chu Xu's originally confused mind was aroused by his words and suddenly woke up, "What did you just say?"

"The senior's technique of deforming ink is superb. If it weren't for seeing it with his own eyes, the illusion that he almost thought had been lost had reappeared in the world."

"Have you seen me take off the ink?" Chu Xu's eyes were a little difficult to tell.

"Maybe it was because my senior drank too much wine last night and I couldn't remember it. When you deformed, I stood upstairs and watched."

Chu Xu patted his head, and then he remembered in a trance that he seemed to have performed in public in an unconscious state in order to coax a girl.

After realizing it, Chu Xu's face suddenly tensed up and snorted coldly, "I have sworn that I will never help others take off the ink again. It's useless if you come today. No matter what conditions are required, I will not take action."

Song Wei said: "Senior has broken his oath last night. Besides, if you really make up your mind to stop taking off the ink again, why should you carry the ink-detected things with you?"

Chu Xu's face looked even more ugly, and he reached out and pushed him out.

Seeing that he was determined, Song Wei suddenly said, "Senior was dismissed from office for no reason. Don't he want to seek justice for himself?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Xu's actions of pushing him stopped, and a sense of resentment appeared in his eyes, as if he had a deep hatred with the Ministry of Revenue.

Song Wei just took a gamble in desperation, but he didn't expect to bet the right direction. He carefully observed the subtle expression on Chu Xu's face, "If the senior is willing to take action, I might be able to help you."

Chu Xu calmed down completely and asked him, "Who are you?"

"In the lower Song Wei."

"What I asked was an official position."

"Bachelor of Hanlin."

"Fifth-rank official." Chu Xu mocked, "You can't beat them with your position."

"It's not necessarily true." Song Wei smiled, "It doesn't matter how high the official position is, the key is who to do it."

Chu Xu was cold, "What a big tone!"

Song Wei smiled faintly, "How can people around the emperor get things done without being tough?"

"Are you the emperor's person?" Chu Xu was really shocked.

Song Wei held the corner of his lips, "So, are you qualified to make a deal with your senior now?"

Chu Xu silent for a while and looked at him, "My wife and children have been kidnapped for more than ten years. If you can help me rescue them, I will help you get things done."

Song Wei knew it, "Senior, let me tell me the reason."

Recalling the past, Chu Xu clenched his fists and felt hatred arises, "Twenty years ago, I worked in the Ministry of Revenue. The emperor built a large-scale construction of the palace. At that time, the head of the branch of the Ministry of Revenue and the Minister of Works, who was responsible for the construction of the palace, greed for a large amount of public funds. I found evidence through decomposition. Unfortunately, my official position was too small, and before I could even send the evidence to the government, they noticed it. They joined forces to stop my official positions and kidnapped my wife and children, threatening me to dare to leak the matter for half, and then killed my wife and children."
