Jia Su had never met Jia Jing.

However, Jia Jing and the original owner of the body had played together when they were young.

Therefore, Jia Su still recognized the identity of this young man — —

This man was in his twenties,

He was the clan leader who took up the responsibility of hundreds of Jia family members.

Since he was young,

Jia Jing was taught by Jia Daihua,

Everything in the Jia family, including his own fate and ambitions, was an existence that could be abandoned in front of the Jia family.

Therefore, even though he was only in his twenties, his sense of belonging to the Jia family far exceeded that of the rest of the Jia family.

The Jia family had many children,

There were eight branches in the capital alone,

There were as many as twelve branches left in their hometown in Jinling.

It could be said that a large part of the reason why the Lin family was still willing to marry into Rongguo Province was that the Jia family was too fertile …

Otherwise, with the status of the Lin family,

Even if they couldn't find a marriage partner from a family in Rongguo Province, they could still settle for the next best thing,

They could find a family that was first class, but the marriage partner would definitely be the legitimate daughter's family.

Of course,

Jia Su didn't know any of this.

She just felt that it was inconceivable that the two of them were still discussing things in the study so late at night.

"Second uncle, I really don't understand why you insist that I pay attention to Ruhai,

After finding out that Ruhai was being bullied,

You still don't allow me to come out and warn others?

The Jia family and the Lin family are related by marriage,

Isn't that so? "

Jia Jing looked at Jia Daishan. She really couldn't understand his decisions during this period of time.

Jia Daishan looked at Jia Jing seriously. "Although I had expected this situation, but …"

Jia Jing looked at him with a face full of disapproval.

Jia Daishan still said it out loud. "I still don't regret it!"

After more than half a month, although Lin Ruhai had always turned a blind eye to his colleagues' isolation and bullying, he still speculated from Jia Jing's message about Lin Ruhai that he wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.

Unexpectedly, Lin Ruhai's tolerance for these isolation and bullying once again exceeded his expectations. He didn't expect that after half a month, when Jia Jing couldn't bear it anymore and came to find him, Jia Su still didn't appear.

Although he didn't regret it, he began to doubt whether it was really worth it.

It wasn't that he thought Lin Ruhai was bad, but with Lin Ruhai's condition, it was very likely that he wouldn't tell that evil spirit what had happened.

If he didn't say anything, the evil spirit wouldn't be so kind as to investigate.

But all his actions were his own, so he could only swallow the bitter consequences of his own decision.

Jia Jing looked at Jia Daishan seriously. "Second Uncle, I don't know why you are like this these days … But we are now walking on thin ice. Shouldn't we waste extra manpower and material resources on our own people?"

After all, Jia Jing was the clan leader. Even Jia Daishan had to treat his words with caution.

Jia Daishan, who knew Jia Shu's identity but didn't dare to tell Jia Jing about it and make him nervous, could only let out a long sigh. In the end, he agreed. "I understand. Tomorrow, I'll let those who follow Ruhai warn his colleagues not to go too far. Then, I'll withdraw my men."

He didn't really want to cripple Lin Ruhai, so he had people specially monitor Lin Ruhai and warned others not to go too far.

Lin Ruhai hadn't suffered any real harm until now.

But Jia Su was furious when he heard all this.

Because of the darkness of the night, Jia Su found a slightly bigger mouse to possess.

Like the fat mouse used to communicate with Concubine Hu, this mouse also had a bag hanging in front of its chest.

But it wasn't a note. It was a hypnotic and calming fragrance and other things that she had asked Cui Yan for.

Jia Daishan and Jia Jing discussed other things for a while. For example, two princes seemed to have started an internal conflict, but after they sent people to investigate, they found that they had left something behind to deal with the Crown Prince. For example, one of the Crown Prince's ministers was still one of their men, but had been secretly bribed by one of the princes. If they still trusted him like before, they would definitely suffer a big loss …

Jia Su had been hiding in the dark, waiting patiently.

After another half an hour, the two of them finally finished exchanging the information in their hands.

Jia Jing soon left.

Jia Jing and his wife had a deep relationship. Because they had already given birth to Jia Zhen, the two had become closer in recent years. Their relationship was even better than when they were newlyweds.

Jia Daishan looked at his hurried back and shook his head with a smile, "Really …"

He quickly returned to his room.

Jia Su hid in the dark and carefully followed him back to his room.

Perhaps it was late at night, Jia Daishan didn't go to the other concubines' rooms. Instead, he went back to his room to sleep.

While he was washing up, Jia Su climbed to the table where the incense burner was placed and shook the fragrance in the bag into the incense burner.

Soon, a fragrance that was very similar to the fragrance used in Rongguo Province, but slightly different, gradually drifted in the room.

Jia Su quickly climbed down the table and found a corner to hide.

Jia Daishan came out of the bath and seemed to be very tired. He rubbed his forehead and walked straight to the wooden bed. Not long after, there was the sound of snoring.

It seemed that he had fallen asleep.

Just like Jia Su could detect whether a person was really asleep from the frequency of their breathing, Jia Daishan, who had been on the battlefield for a long time and always had to pay attention to the wind and grass around him, naturally knew this as well.

Jia Su waited quietly.

Sure enough, after about ten minutes, Jia Daishan, who was originally sleeping soundly on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes. His gaze swept around the room, and only after confirming that tonight would be another peaceful night did he finally feel at ease and go to sleep.

Jia Su waited quietly for a while before he climbed out of the corner. Because he was angry, his four short legs moved quickly. In the blink of an eye, he ran to Jia Daishan's bedside.

As a soldier, Jia Su had always disliked those who ruined the lives of others for their own selfish reasons. He especially hated those who relied on their strength to wantonly play with those who were weaker than them.

Unfortunately, Jia Daishan had both.

Yes, Jia Daishan did all this for Rongguo Province, for the Jia family, and for the Crown Prince …

But what did this have to do with Lin Ruhai?

Just because he wanted to test her, he made a move on the innocent Lin Ruhai?

And he used the most disgusting method.

However, these were things that Lin Ruhai had to experience in the officialdom. Jia Daishan just gathered all these things together and let them erupt in advance.

Although it was cruel for Lin Ruhai, he could only rely on himself to walk out of this.

Otherwise, when he was sent out to the capital, he would be targeted by all the local officials in his post. He would have no way to deal with it.

Jia Su was clear about this, but it didn't stop her from wanting to teach Jia Daishan a lesson.

She had no way to return the favor and let Jia Daishan experience the feeling of being isolated and targeted by all his colleagues. Even if the others took into account his status, they would not do such a thing to isolate and target him.

Of course, even if they did, Jia Daishan wouldn't care about these small tricks that wouldn't threaten his life after so many years of ups and downs.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got!

After thinking about it, Jia Su carefully used her rodent teeth to bite off the Jia Daishan's beard that had been carefully maintained for decades.

Well, for ancient men, beards were something that they would start to grow when they reached a certain age. It was as important as the hair that women used to braid their hair into a bun. Many people valued beards more than their faces. Some men would even treat beards as treasures. They would make an appointment and compare their beards with each other.

Many famous people in history had left behind a few words about "beautiful beards."

The Jia Daishan's beard had been ruined by the rodent teeth until it was uneven. It had nothing to do with the word "beautiful beards."

Jia Su almost laughed out loud when she thought about how Jia Daishan would wake up tomorrow and raise his hand to touch his beard, only to suddenly touch a bunch of bumpy and completely unsightly hair.

This was enough to make Jia Daishan's heart ache.

Of course, if he suddenly shaved his beard tomorrow and went to court with a bare chin, not to mention other people, at least Jia Daishan's political opponents would definitely use this to make fun of him.

Even his good friends might laugh a few times out of goodwill and "tease" him.

Of course, it was hard to say whether it would be considered teasing to Jia Daishan.

He should have a good taste of being pointed at by others.

Jia Su's methods were much simpler and cruder than those so-called noble scholars who had directly harmed Lin Ruhai.

She found an inkstone in the Jia Daishan's reading area in his room, but the ink inside had already dried.

Mouse Jia rolled her eyes and crawled to the side to push open the teacup. Sure enough, she found some unfinished tea residue in it.

She first took out a kind of powder that could make ink not fade for several days from the pouch on her chest and poured it into the inkstone. She carefully dipped her claws into the teacup and then used her little claws to grind on the inkstone. Soon, her little claws became dark and swarthy.

At the same time, she also made a few drops of ink with special effects.

Jia Su hurriedly collected them.

She originally didn't want to deal with it and directly left the inkstone in its original place.

But after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it was inappropriate. After all, Jia Daishan was very meticulous. If he really found the secret in the inkstone, it was hard to say that he wouldn't guess it. Although her methods were strange, it was not something that ordinary people could achieve.

At that time, it would be bad if Jia Daishan lost his respect for her.

Jia Su blinked and dug around in the pouch. After a while, she took out a piece of paper and then put it in the inkstone to suck the ink dry and destroy the evidence.

In order to prevent there from being any drug residue, she used her clean claw to grab some tea and began to grind it again. Then, she used the paper to suck it dry …

She repeated the procedure three times until the four short legs of the rat looked like they were wearing four black socks. She sniffed and confirmed that there was no drug residue in them. Then, she used a piece of paper to dry the ink on its paws and jumped off the desk.

After confirming that there was no smell or claw mark left on the desk, Jia Su nodded with satisfaction.

Perfect!

After finishing the preparation work, Jia Su was originally ready to leave.

But because she still couldn't vent her anger, she found the official robe that Jia Daishan would wear to the imperial court tomorrow and bit a subtle hole in the buttocks.

After doing all this, she quickly rushed out of Jia Daishan's room and ran to the street where the group of scholars from the Hanlin Academy lived.

Jia Su was careful and experienced. During the day, when she heard the group of Hanlin Academy scholars chatting, she guessed everyone's address.

She first ran to the house of one of the Hanlin Academy scholars. In the side room, she found him hugging a beautiful woman and had fallen into a deep sleep.

However, because she didn't use any hypnotic calming incense, Jia Su's movements became more careful.

She quickly rushed to the bed and smacked the face of that troublesome Hanlin Academy scholar a few times.

Who asked you to take the lead in isolating Lin Ruhai?

Who asked you to be so talkative?

Who asked you to make trouble for Lin Ruhai?!

She had never bullied Lin Ruhai like that before!

He was just a young man who had just reached adulthood. A group of old men must have a black conscience to do this!

-

Early the next morning, Lin Ruhai was woken up by his biological clock. When he opened his eyes, he was surprised to find that his wife was still sleeping.

He raised his head and looked out of the window. Yes, it was already time for her to exercise.

Thinking of all the evil things Jia Su did in the past when she woke him up, Lin Ruhai's guts rose. With a swoosh, he lifted Jia Su's blanket.

Jia Su was speechless.

Sure enough, her efforts to help this fellow teach him a lesson last night were completely unnecessary!

She didn't sleep anymore. She directly got up and gave Lin Ruhai a good beating …

She couldn't beat him up. After all, if people found out that she beat up her husband, she would go to jail.

However, if she made him angry, she would immediately leave …

Everyone understood the romance between husband and wife.

It wasn't like Jia Su hadn't done this kind of thing before. Usually, after she finished washing up, Lin Ruhai would calm down.

But this time, there was an accident.

Jia Su finished washing up energetically. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she unexpectedly met Lin Ruhai's accusing gaze.

Jia Su asked, "… What's wrong?"

Lin Ruhai pursed his lips and lowered his head in embarrassment. His cheeks were red.

Jia Su followed his gaze and saw a bulging lump.

Then, she was speechless.

"Hubby, did you secretly eat a gallbladder behind my back last night?" Jia Su looked curious. "I think you can eat another one. What do you think?"

Lin Ruhai was speechless.

Realizing that he seemed to be a little too bold today, he quickly retreated and ran to the side to wash up.

Jia Su left speechlessly.

Perhaps today was indeed a lucky day for Lin Ruhai.

As usual, he entered the Hanlin Academy an hour early.

Usually, at this time, even if not all of his colleagues in the Hanlin Academy were present, at least half of them were present. However, when he entered today, he was surprised to find that there was no one inside.

Lin Ruhai's expression was confused. His first reaction was, "So it's a break today. I actually remembered the time wrong."

After saying this to the empty Hanlin Academy, he turned around to leave.

Unexpectedly, when he reached the door, he saw Ji Shuchang, who had been openly and implicitly mocking him the day he came back to work after his wedding.

Lin Ruhai was stunned again. He quickly went forward to stop him. "Ji Shuchang, is today a break?"

Ji Shuchang was speechless. He glanced at him from the corner of his eyes. "Did water get into your brain?

Did you forget that it's a break? "

Lin Ruhai thought to himself that he remembered that today wasn't a break.

"Apart from this one, no one else in the Hanlin Academy is on duty."

Lin Ruhai was worried that Ji Shuchang would misunderstand. He quickly explained, "This one was thinking that I might have remembered the time wrong."

Hearing this, Ji Shuchang was also a bit confused.

However, he didn't want to talk too much with Lin Ruhai, a winner in life. He threw out, "What does that have to do with me?" and left.

Lin Ruhai was speechless.

Lin Ruhai stood guard at the entrance of the Hanlin Academy. He watched as the other yamen officials arrived one after another. It was almost time for the imperial court to go to work, but the Hanlin Academy was still empty.

Lin Ruhai was a bit dumbfounded.

Could it be that everyone had applied for leave?

Or that the Hanlin Academy had given a single day off?

But why hadn't he heard about it?

Just as he was feeling puzzled, his sharp eyes suddenly noticed that behind the wall of the dead end at the corner of the intersection, there was one, two, three …

Many heads poked out from behind the wall.

Each of them had a cloth covering their faces. They used scissors to cut two eyes, one mouth, and three holes in the cloth. There was nothing else.

Those black, white, and gray heads of various colors seemed to have grown out of the wall. At first glance, it was enough to scare someone to death!

If it weren't for the fact that he was constantly frightened by his wife's sudden attacks, perhaps Lin Ruhai would have turned around and ran back to the Hanlin Academy!

Each of them was like a ghost with only a head. It was really frightening.

Lin Ruhai calmed himself down. After carefully counting the number of heads, he unexpectedly discovered —

Eh, why is it the same number as my colleagues?!

Lin Ruhai was speechless. What's wrong with each and every one of them?!

At this moment, perhaps they realized that there was no one around the Hanlin Academy, so one by one, they walked out from behind the wall like thieves who needed someone to keep watch.

Then, like rabbits, they scurried from the wall to Lin Ruhai's side. Their movements were so fast that before Lin Ruhai could react, they had all entered the Hanlin Academy.

Lin Ruhai became the last person to enter.

Lin Ruhai felt that today might not be a good day. It wasn't appropriate for him to go out.

After he entered, he originally thought that it would be the same as before, where he would be mocked and ridiculed by others, or join forces to run on him —

These were all fine. After two days of relief, he had already gotten over these things.

But another accident happened.

Lin Ruhai had already entered, but the others were all obediently huddled in their seats like quails. No one bothered with him at all.

More importantly, he had already entered, but for some reason, his colleagues still hadn't taken off the cloth wrapped around their heads.

After thinking about it, Lin Ruhai kindly reminded them, "There will be people coming later. Do you really want to …" He raised his hand and made a gesture of using the cloth to wrap their heads. It was especially vivid and vivid, "meet people like this?"

However, the others shook their heads like a rattle drum. They had no intention of taking it off at all.

Lin Ruhai's words just now made them even more determined to do this.

However, in this world, it was true that good news didn't leave the house, but bad news spread far and wide.

Other than Lin Ruhai's group of people from the Hanlin Academy, they had dressed up weirdly and hid in a cul-de-sac. When no one was around, they all ran out together. With such a big commotion, how could no one have seen them?

At first, everyone only spread the news within a small circle. However, as time passed, it became more and more ridiculous. In the end, it developed into a situation where everyone except for the people from the Hanlin Academy knew about it.

Even the Emperor had heard the news.

The Holy Emperor of Qi was also a mischievous person. After hearing the news, he thought, Aiya, Lin Ruhai had just told him about the history of the classics yesterday. He was very happy and decided to go to the Hanlin Academy today to take a look at Lin Ruhai's work environment and properly reward him.

The head eunuch standing beside the Holy Emperor of Qi rolled his eyes in his heart. He thought to himself, His Holiness, please stop. The people from the Hanlin Academy were clearly acting like they didn't want to meet anyone.

They didn't even want to meet their colleagues, so how could they want to meet the most respected person in the Great Xia Dynasty?

However, he was just a servant and couldn't stop the Holy Emperor of Qi's restless heart at all.

Not long after, the people from the Hanlin Academy received the news that the Emperor was coming.

Everyone except Lin Ruhai looked as if they had lost their parents and their hearts were like dead ashes …

Lin Ruhai, who saw everyone's reaction, "…"

How rare was the opportunity to meet the Emperor!

Even if he could meet the Emperor every few days, Lin Ruhai would still be especially happy to have the opportunity to meet the Emperor.

Wasn't the reason why these people had targeted him before because he could meet the Emperor frequently as a study attendant?

Now that he could meet the Emperor, why did they all have this kind of reaction?

Lin Ruhai blinked and became more and more curious about the secrets hidden under the clothes of his colleagues.

When they met the Emperor, they definitely couldn't appear with this kind of appearance. Otherwise, it would be a great disrespect to the Emperor. If the Emperor was unhappy, it was possible that he would directly sentence them to death.

Of course, because there were so many criminals and the Hanlin Academy was almost completely wiped out, as long as the Emperor wasn't out of his mind, he definitely wouldn't do this in order to allow the Hanlin Academy to operate normally.

As the saying goes, the law can't punish the majority.

However, even if everyone knew this, their reverence for the Emperor was engraved in their bones. How could they really meet His Holiness in such a disrespectful manner?

However, after they removed the clothes, it didn't seem any better than before.

On their faces, there were actually marks of different depths, positions, and numbers of marks ….

Claw marks.

Because no one had caught a mouse and carefully studied its claws, Lin Ruhai didn't recognize that the claws belonged to a mouse, and they were all from the same mouse.

Of course, if he and Jia Su had a telepathic connection, he would have realized that the mouse was his beloved wife.

"Cough cough …" Lin Ruhai's cheeks were red from holding back his laughter, and tears seeped out of the corners of his eyes.

It really was …

"Too funny, hahahaha …"

The Emperor of Qi had just walked to the door when he saw the ashen-faced expressions of the Hanlin officials in the room.

This should have aroused sympathy, but coupled with the cute claw marks on their faces, even the Emperor of Qi, who usually didn't show his emotions on his face, couldn't help but laugh in front of a group of officials.

He even turned around and pulled out Duke Rongguo, who was hiding behind like an invisible man, "Dai Shan, tell me, did you guys see that I was unhappy today, so you agreed to make me happy together by pretending to be ugly?

Hahahahaha … "

Everyone from the Hanlin Academy hurriedly knelt down.

The Emperor of Qi was in a good mood at this time, and waved his hand to let everyone get up.

After getting up, Lin Ruhai noticed Duke Rongguo hiding behind the Emperor of Qi.

Then, he was stunned to find that his father-in-law's originally long and handsome beard, which was beautifully groomed and even had a small braid, was all gone.

His chin, which was originally full of beard, was now smooth and without any stubble.

In the Great Xia Dynasty, other than the eunuchs who were destined not to grow beards, the other older men all grew beards of different lengths, shapes, and colors. Lin Ruhai was envious when he saw this. He had long been thinking that he would start growing beards when he reached the age of 20.

But looking at the Jia Daishan's current appearance, Lin Ruhai was a little uncertain.

There was no other reason. It was just that the Jia Daishan's beard had been growing for decades, and the skin where it grew had never been exposed to light. Now that it was gone, it looked especially white.

But the Jia Daishan used to be exposed to the wind and sun all year round when he was fighting at the border, and his skin was really rough and dark. In comparison, the effect was really …

It took Lin Ruhai a lot of effort to hold back his laughter.

And because only the eunuchs in the Great Xia Dynasty didn't have beards, and Duke Rongguo was standing close to the Emperor of Qi at this time —

Although he had been standing like this before, Duke Rongguo's appearance today was really awkward.

At first, Lin Ruhai thought that he was the Emperor of Qi's head eunuch.
