When Xiangyun heard that Chen Weiyuan was coming, her face turned pale with fright.

"Madam, don't be alarmed! This is the residence of a second-grade official after all, and he doesn't dare to break in." Seeing this, Xiang Nan quickly comforted me.

When I heard Xiangyun, I felt a little at ease.

Xiang Nan was not only a second-rank official, but also a favorite of the emperor. Chen Weiyuan was just a bookseller, and no matter how rich he was, he was just a commoner.

It is said that the people do not fight against the officials! It is impossible for him to come to the thatched cottage and run wild!

"Xiaoyue, take your wife to the backyard to rest." Xiang Nan immediately ordered, "Old Cai, bring Chen Weiyuan to the living room."

"Yes, sir." Lao Cai nodded.

…

Xiang Nan immediately came to the living room and sat down.

After a while, Lao Cai walked in with a man who described himself as vulgar and whose eyes were shining brightly.

"Young man Chen Weiyuan has met Master Ji." The man came forward and kowtowed.

"Boss Chen, you don't have to be so polite. Please get up." Xiang Nan smiled slightly and said, "Myolie, let's have some tea."

"Thank you, sir." Chen Weiyuan said quickly.

"Boss Chen, I have heard of your name. You are a famous bookseller in Liulichang. 10% of the books sold in bookstores in Beijing are at least 20% printed by Boss Chen, which is amazing." Xiang Nan added, "But I didn't know you were here today.

, any advice?”

"Don't dare to be taught." Chen Weiyuan waved his hands and said, "Master Ji, is there a woman named Xiangyun here? She is my first wife, and I want to take her home."

"Xiang Yun?" Xiang Nan was stunned, "I'm not too sure about this. Boss Chen should know that there are always two to three hundred people in my Ji Mansion. I'm usually busy compiling the Sikuquanshu.

I really don’t know much about the affairs of the back house. Let me ask Miss Xiaoyue to come out and ask."

After a while, Xiaoyue arrived.

"Xiaoyue, is there a woman named Xiangyun in our house?" Xiang Nan asked.

"No, sir." Xiaoyue shook her head.

"Boss Chen, did you hear that?" Xiang Nan looked at Chen Weiyuan and said.

"Sir, she may have changed her name. Can you ask all your family members to come out and let me check them one by one?" Chen Weiyuan asked with a smile.

"How presumptuous!" Xiang Nan slapped the table, "Where do you think my Ji Mansion is? I have my family for you to see?!"

"My lord, please forgive me, please forgive me. It's really Chen who misses his wife so much, that's why he said what he said. Your Excellency, please forgive me," Chen Weiyuan said quickly.

"Hmph, I'm just asking you, who told you that your wife is in our Ji Mansion? Tell me!" Xiang Nan scolded.

"Sir, some of my slaves saw it." Chen Weiyuan was stunned and said quickly.

"Boss Chen dares to come to our Ji Mansion to ask for someone based on the words of a few domestic slaves?" Xiang Nan sneered, "It seems that I, Ji Xiaolan, a high-ranking second-grade official, am really not a thing in the eyes of Boss Chen.

"

"Don't dare, don't dare." Chen Weiyuan waved his hands repeatedly.

"Since you don't dare, why don't you get out!" Xiang Nan slapped the table and said, "If you dare to disturb me again, I will send you to Shuntian Mansion with just one post!"

"Yes, yes!" Chen Weiyuan said goodbye quickly.

…

"Sir, you are really capable, you scared him away with just a few words." Du Xiaoyue said with a smile.

"Sir, thank you so much." Xiangyun said gratefully. She really didn't want to go back to that despicable, dirty and dirty husband.

"You're welcome." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "Don't be too happy too early. In my opinion, Chen Weiyuan will not give up."

"Don't be afraid, next time he dares to come again, I will break his legs." Du Xiaoyue said fiercely.

"It's useless. He's not stupid, and he won't bring people to the door to rob someone." Xiang Nan waved his hands, "What I'm worried about is that he will use public opinion to force me to hand over my wife. He is a well-known bookseller in the capital, and he wants to incite public opinion.

It’s not difficult.”

"Yes, Chen Weiyuan is despicable and shameless, and he colludes with many local gangsters and corrupt officials." Xiangyun nodded, "It is indeed not difficult for him to spread rumors and cause trouble.

In a few days, I'm afraid there will be rumors in the capital that Mr. Ji abducted a married woman. This will greatly damage Mr. Ji's reputation. Sir, I'd better leave Ji's Mansion."

"Hey, if you really leave my place, you will just fall into their trap." Xiang Nan waved his hand.

"However, if I stay, your reputation will be ruined." Xiang Yun said.

Literati attach great importance to reputation and integrity. Ji Xiaolan is known as the most talented person in the world. He has the courage to speak for the people and fight against corrupt officials. He is a leader highly regarded by scholars.

However, once he is involved in such a scandal, his reputation will be ruined. It will not only affect his official career and image in the hearts of the people, but will even make him notorious for thousands of years.

Just like Ouyang Xiu of the Song Dynasty, he was falsely accused of having an affair with his niece. Not only did his official career stop and he died in depression. Moreover, this rumor has been spread to this day and is still discussed by many people.

Zhu Xi, also known as Zhu Xi, was also rumored to have taken nuns as concubines, had an affair with his daughter-in-law, was infatuated with a young widow, etc. As a result, a generation of Neo-Confucian masters were slandered as fake Taoists and hypocrites, and had to retire and return home, where they died in depression.

To this day, these rumors are still circulating and have many believers, making Zhu Xi controversial. His Neo-Confucianism has also been dismissed as pseudo-science.

The car in front is overturned and the car behind is a lesson, so we must be cautious.

"Sir, I'd better go." Xiangyun said, "The manuscript of "Dream of Red Mansions" is already in your hands, and you have started to vindicate it. I have done everything I should do, and I have no regrets. I am dead.

, you can also explain it to Xue Qin."

"No, Xiangyun, you can't leave." Xiang Nan waved his hands and said, "If I, Ji Xiaolan, push a weak woman like you into the tiger's mouth just to protect my reputation, then what kind of gentleman would I be?

Xiangyun, let others say what they like. I, Ji Xiaolan, behave upright and walk straight, and I never care about such things!"

"Xiangyun also wants to be by your side for the rest of her life, but as a member of the Chen family, Xiangyun really doesn't dare to have such delusions." Hearing what he said, Xiangyun couldn't help but be moved and said, "Sir, you'd better let me go.

.”

"Chen family?! That scumbag who reeks of copper and has the heart to send his wife as an undercover agent in order to make money?" Xiang Nan sneered, "Madam, are you still willing to follow him?"

"Of course I don't want to, but I can't bear to harm my husband." Xiangyun said painfully, "I know Chen Weiyuan, he can do anything."

"I know, but I'm not afraid." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Madam, please be patient and stay in Ji's Mansion for two more days. Ji will definitely save you from the sea of ​​suffering."

"Sir..." Xiangyun wanted to beg again.

"Madam, please believe in Ji again. From the time you and I met until now, what has Ji failed to do?" Xiang Nan advised, "If you don't believe Ji, Ji has nothing to say.

If Madam leaves, Ji will not stop her."

When Xiangyun heard what he said, she couldn't help but nodded when she thought about what she had seen and heard in the past few days.

Xiang Nan first preserved the manuscript of "Dream of Red Mansions" and played a trick on Fukang An, and now he set out to overturn the verdict of "Dream of Red Mansions". One by one, each one was an immediate success, which is amazing.
