  Chapter 59: The job was taken away.

  Faced with this kind of thing, the wife of Marquis Jinyang had no interest in continuing to drink tea.

She exchanged a few pleasantries with Chen Qingyin, lamenting the fickleness of men nowadays. As she spoke, Lady Jinyang Marquis gave Chen Qingyin a meaningful look.

He probably wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't open his mouth and just said goodbye and left.

Before Chen Qingyin left the teahouse, she asked Linlang to inquire around.

Linlang returned to the carriage and whispered to Chen Qingyin, "When I entered the general's room, no one was there, but I found this."

As she spoke, she pulled a belt out from her sleeve.

Chen Qingyin took a look and recognized it immediately.

This is Hu Yunshen's belt.

It seems that, just as she guessed, Hu Yunshen and Liang Yunyan would hang out in this restaurant every now and then.

Chen Qingyin threw the belt directly into the corner.

"Disgusting." She said coldly with her red lips.

Hu Mianmian blinked her big eyes, and seeing her mother dislike them so much, she also stuck out her tongue: "They are disgusting!"

Chen Qingyin was amused by her daughter and held the little girl in her arms.

"Mianmian, if mother and your father are to separate in the future, are you willing to stay with mother forever?"

Hu Mianmian didn't even think about it, and nodded quickly: "Yes! Mianmian wants to follow mother, not disgusting father."

Chen Qingyin felt relieved.

Her only worry was that her daughter wouldn't get used to it.

Fortunately, Hu Yunshen had been fighting outside for many years and had not spent much time with his daughter, so the little girl had no feelings for him.

In that case, she has nothing to worry about.

The day after this incident, Hu Yunshen went to inspect the expansion and repair of the moat as usual.

But unexpectedly, his soldiers were driven aside, and the people who were repairing the moat were soldiers led by another captain.

"What's going on? I was ordered to repair the moat. How dare you interfere?"

Hu Yunshen stepped forward quickly and grabbed the captain to question him.

If such a good and lucrative job is snatched away by someone, it is equivalent to taking someone's money and taking his life.

Hu Yunshen's eyes turned red with anxiety.

Unexpectedly, the captain pushed his hand away, sneered, and took out an imperial decree from his sleeve.

"General Hu, please read carefully. This morning, the Minister of Works personally delivered the imperial order. This mission has nothing to do with you anymore."

Hu Yun was shocked and checked the imperial order over and over again.

There is the seal of the Shangshu Ling on it, which means it was indeed issued by the imperial court.

But why did the Minister of Works remove him from his post for no reason?

Hu Yunshen swung his sleeves, angrily jumped on his horse, and headed straight for the Ministry of Works.

As soon as he arrived, he saw the Minister of Works, Lord Du, coming out with his entourage and about to get on the carriage to leave.

"Master Du! Master Du, please wait!" Hu Yunshen rushed over. "I just went to the moat and saw Captain Yu and his men repairing the city. Master Du, didn't you give this job to me?"

Lord Du originally had his back to him, but at this moment, he suddenly turned around.

Hu Yunshen saw that Lord Du's face was covered with scratches from his fingernails, which looked quite hideous.

He was stunned, and Lord Du had already started cursing angrily.

"Hu Yunshen, if I hadn't come to you, you should have burned incense and prayed to Buddha. How dare you come to me with such a shameless face? The reason why I didn't give you this job is because you have evil intentions!"

Lord Du lowered his voice and shouted angrily: "If I had known earlier that you would team up with your wife to set a trap for me and bring my wife to catch me in adultery, I would never have given you the good job of expanding and repairing the moat!"

"Look at me now, it's all because of you. Now my wife wants to divorce me. Her family is prosperous, and my father-in-law and uncle are both on the rise in their careers, but you two just instigated me."

"Get out of here! Get out of here! If I see you again, don't blame me for being rude!"

Lord Du said this, and with a wave of his hand, he almost knocked Hu Yunshen over.

Seeing Lord Du getting on the carriage, Hu Yunshen hurriedly chased after him.

"Master Du, please listen to my explanation. What happened yesterday really has nothing to do with me. Master Du, Du..."

His voice stopped abruptly, and the carriage disappeared into the distance.

Hu Yunshen's fists were clenched so hard that they made a crackling sound.

Chen Qingyin? He knew she would do something bad!

Hu Yunshen rode his horse angrily and rushed back home.

The doorman came forward but was kicked away by him.

"Get lost! Call my wife out. I want to ask her why she has to ruin my good deeds!"

The doorman was startled and crawled to find Chen Qingyin.

After a while, Chen Qingyin came to the main hall and saw Hu Yunshen smashing the porcelain on the table.

The fine porcelain fell to the ground and broke into pieces with a loud snap.

Linlang couldn't bear to look at it any further, this was a very expensive official kiln!

Chen Qingyin, however, was exceptionally calm.

Let him fall. The more wasteful it is now, the more regret you will have later.

"My dear, what's got you so angry?"

"How dare you ask me this? Let me ask you, why did you drag the wife of Marquis Jinyang and Madam Du to Yuelai Restaurant?"

Chen Qingyin's porcelain-white face showed great calmness and innocence.

"Of course I'm going to have tea and a meal. I heard that Lord Du has given you the good job of expanding and repairing the moat. It just so happens that Madam Du and the wife of Marquis Jinyang are good friends. Madam Jinyang organized a tea party, so I naturally went. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"Do you know, do you know..." Hu Yunshen was so angry that he couldn't say anything. Finally, he said fiercely, "Do you know that yesterday at Yuelai Restaurant, Mr. Du was drinking with a singing girl and was caught by Mrs. Du on the spot."

Chen Qingyin was not surprised, and nodded gently: "Of course I know, but my husband, this is Lord Du's business, and I can't predict it in advance. The place was also decided by the wife of the Marquis of Jinyang. You can't blame me, right?"

Hu Yunshen certainly had no reason to blame her.

But he always felt that the coincidence of this matter was a bit weird!

Logically speaking, Chen Qingyin would not know that he and Liang Yunyan did that kind of thing in Yuelai Restaurant.

But why did she come? She also brought Madam Du and Madam Jinyanghou with her.

Hu Yunshen was now thankful that he was not the one caught in the act!

Hu Yunshen said angrily, "Now Lord Du has determined that you and I were conspiring to set him up so that he would be caught by Madam Du. He has dismissed me from my job of expanding the moat. Are you satisfied now?"

Chen Qingyin seemed surprised: "How could this happen? This is really a trumped-up charge. How about this, I'll prepare a generous gift, and you can give it to Lord Du as our apology. What do you think?"

That makes sense.

Hu Yunshen said unhappily, "Go and prepare it immediately. Remember, the gift must be generous, not shabby."

Chen Qingyin nodded: "I'll do the job, don't worry."

She turned and left, a hint of coldness quietly suppressed on her red lips.

When Mrs. Hu heard the noise of the quarrel, she came over with her cane.

Seeing the mess on the ground, he quickly asked what happened.

After Hu Yunshen explained what happened, Madam Hu asked the maid to close the door.

Then he pointed at Hu Yunshen's forehead and cursed: "You fool, you can lose such a good job. I have said it before, this Liang Yunyan is a foxy woman, she can only seduce you to bed, what else can she do? Sooner or later, she will hurt you!"

"If Chen Qingyin finds out that you're having an affair, our entire Hu family will lose face!"
