She has been in charge of family business for many years and believes that she is not inferior to any woman in the industry, and is even better than many men. However, what happened today has shaken her confidence. She has never clearly realized as she has now: her previous success, in addition to the support of her family, and also the support of her parents and brothers, the Liu family has great business. Even if she loses a certain transaction, it will not hurt the Liu family. In other words, she has the strength in the past and can afford to lose.

Now that she has entered the officialdom, her political foundation is weak and her family's parents do not support her, Li Hanyao has become her only hope.

She didn't dare to rely on Li Hanyao all.

This time, unlike last time, Fan Dayong attempted to dominate Jiangnan last time, Li Hanyao had to wipe out Fan Dayong, so he went all out and personally directed it. This time, he held a painting exhibition for Lin Zhiqiu, and Li Hanyao assigned the task to her. She was regarded as a minister of the humerus by Li Hanyao. If she could not show her abilities, wouldn’t she live up to Li Hanyao’s expectations? What qualifications are there to be the chief officer of Jiangnan Weaving Bureau?

But she was not sure of winning.

At the critical moment, her confidence was shaken.

Can Lin Zhiqiu really succeed?

What if those people don’t believe it?

No, not in case, it's certain!

Since ancient times, literati have been despised by Lin Zhiqiu's qualifications and fame. She dreamed of gaining recognition from the scholars. What's more, the knowledgeable people gathered here are like crucian carp trees crossing the river. Before the exhibition opened, it attracted many people to ridicule. She couldn't imagine how mixed praise and criticism were there on the day of opening.

She was frightened and uneasy, and her thoughts were like wild horses rushing out of the fence, running around: for a moment, she felt that Li Hanyao was there, so there was no need to worry; for a moment, she considered which paintings Lin Zhiqiu were better to take out, which would easily lead to slander; for a moment, she wanted to see how to deal with slander after the painting was unfolded; for a moment, she thought that it was not open yet, so she didn't have to mess up, so she would do her best to organize an exhibition; then she returned to how to choose paintings, and was worried that Lin Zhiqiu would not take on the heavy responsibility... She pulled back this horse and ran away that horse, and her thoughts were messy and could not gather together. In the hot summer, she shivered like the cold winter.

Suddenly, my face was cold.

I wiped it with my hands and wiped it with water.

She actually shed tears on her face.

"Father, why do you treat me like this?"

She choked and murmured to herself.

The son did not say that his father was wrong. Not to mention that his father used invisible tricks, even if he openly condemned her, she could not make any complaints. If his brother Liu Jiaping was at home, she could still seek comfort from his brother, but his brother was sent out by Li Hanyao to raise food, and she could not find anyone to talk to and could only be sad alone.

Xi'er was careful and found that the girl was strange but didn't dare to say it out loud. Suddenly, she remembered that Ouyang Weiwei came. She had a good relationship with her girl in the past, but now she is an official in the same yamen. She is full of bitterness and no one can tell her about it. This afternoon, the weaving bureau happened to come to ask her to help her solve the girl, which may be effective.

Before I could invite Ouyang Weiwei, she came by herself.

Ouyang Weiwei has been recuperating at home, and now her injuries are gradually healing. Seeing that scholars from all over the country and imperial envoys gathered in Xiazhao, among which there were members of the Wang clan. She wanted to inquire about her younger brother Ouyang Jinghui and wanted to share the worries for Li Hanyao, and was preparing to go to the yamen from today. Who knew that when she came, she heard rumors about Liu Shiyu and his wife flying all over the sky. After she asked the reason, she came to find Liu Shiyu.

Xi'er was very happy and thought: "This is a coincidence."

She hurriedly went to circulate: "Sir, Lord Ouyang is here."

Liu Shiyu hurriedly wiped her tears and ordered her to come in.

Ouyang Weiwei entered the inner hall and first saluted Liu Shiyu.

The two of them must abandon their former habits of boudoir and follow the rules of the officialdom.

Liu Shiyu said: "Please sit down by Lord Ouyang."

Seeing that her eyes were slightly red and her eyelids were slightly swollen, Ouyang Weiwei pretended not to see them, so she sat down first, waited for Xier to serve tea and lowered her head to drink tea.

Liu Shiyu asked her about her physical recovery, what medicine she has taken, and diet and other gossip. Then she changed her mind and asked her when she would come to the yamen, saying that she was looking forward to her coming every day, so the two of them could have a discussion.

Ouyang Weiwei answered one by one.

"I will go to the yamen from today."

“This is really great.”

Liu Shiyu was overjoyed. Although Ouyang Weiwei was not idle at home, she would share some official duties, which was no more convenient than coming to the yamen in person.

Seeing that her expression was not as fake, Ouyang Weiwei smiled, and said, "I have heard of the rumors outside. Although I am not as good as Miss Li, I am not a weak person. Why bother to be sad about those rumors?"

Liu Shiyu said: "I am not hurting those rumors. I am for my father's attitude towards my husband. It's so uncomfortable to think about it."

Ouyang Weiwei was speechless for a while, and after a while, she said indifferently: "Who made us women? Women have been living a difficult life. You are pretty good. No matter how ugly your uncle speaks, it is for the sake of his sister. My sister thinks about her sister..."

Liu Shiyu thought of her parents plotting against each other, and her family was destroyed, and she couldn't help but feel frightened. She hurriedly advised her to be sad and not to be immersed in the past and unable to extricate herself. In the end, she encouraged her, and said with gaze: "Forget it, let's not mention those sad things. No matter how difficult the fate of a woman is, now she has the opportunity to fight for a new world. We must put aside all our concerns and do our best to indulge this time with Sister Li."

Ouyang Weiwei said solemnly: "That's right."

As the two were talking, Xi'er handed in a famous post and wrote "Muziyu". Liu Shiyu stood up excitedly and said excitedly: "Please!"

Ouyang Weiwei couldn't help but be surprised.

Liu Shiyu didn't explain, but signaled her to go to the door to greet her.

When he was young, Li Hanyao, wearing a sky-blue brocade robe, was graceful and elegant, and followed Xier with a fan. When he saw Liu Shiyu and the other two hurriedly put away the folding fan and bowed to the end: "Student Mu Ziyu, I have met two adults."

Ouyang Weiwei looked at the young master Ruyu in front of her and was speechless.

Liu Shiyu burst out laughing.

Li Hanyao also smiled and stood up straight, looked at the two of them, and praised, "I wear official uniforms and are indeed very majestic." Then she fixed her eyes on Liu Shiyu's face. Seeing her eyes red, she asked in surprise: "Why are you crying after becoming an official?"

Liu Shiyu: "..."

You can't cry after becoming an official?

While she turned sideways, she asked Li Hanyao to enter, and said awkwardly: "My father and mother object to the exhibition. I carried out the girl's oral order, and my father was speechless. However, my father fell ill because of this, which made rumors outside. Everyone said that I was an unfilial daughter and my husband could not support the mud..." As he said that, tears turned red again.

She was both ashamed and panicked, thinking to herself: "I promised not to be sad, why did I feel sad again when I saw the girl? I must not let the girl think I am too weak and can't be considered a big deal." So she hurriedly wiped it with a veil, and the more she wiped the more she cried.

Li Hanyao suddenly realized: My father once said that the harm from relatives is far more than any external harm. Liu Shiyu was hurt by her parents.
