Chapter 1267 Work together and have a clear attitude!

Even though Gu Sansi repeatedly assured Chen Wanting that he and Wang no longer had any feelings for each other, and that even if Wang brought the child to the Gu Mansion, she would still be the mistress of the family, Chen Wanting no longer believed Gu Sansi's words 100%!
After all, it was this same man who had solemnly promised herself that he would never let Wang come to Yijing and appear in their home!
At first, Chen Wanting had resented Bai Cui for forcing her to pretend to be magnanimous, and even took the initiative to invite Wang to come. She never expected that Gu Sansi actually let Wang come. Now she could say that she had completely messed up and was dumbfounded!
But after a few days, Chen Wanting gradually calmed down and no longer blamed Bai Cui. Chen Wanting understood a truth, that is, whether Wang would come to Yijing did not depend on what she said, but on Gu Sansi's thoughts!

Even if he did not pretend to be magnanimous as Bai Cui taught him, but instead made it clear that he opposed Wang's arrival, as long as Gu Sansi had made up his mind, no matter how much he made a fuss, he would not be able to change the fact that Wang came to Yijing!

After thinking all this through, Chen Wanting didn't say anything on the surface and seemed to have accepted the facts in front of Gu Sansi, but in Chen Wanting's heart, a feeling of self-pity was growing!

Chen Wanting thought that Gu Sansi didn’t love her as much as he said, and all those sweet words and vows were fake. Thinking back to when she was moved to tears by his words “we will be together forever”, and thinking that she had finally found her ideal husband, Chen Wanting just felt that she was very stupid and naive at the time...

It was at this time that Chen Wanting began to experience symptoms of dizziness, palpitations, general fatigue, and loss of appetite. At first, Chen Wanting thought it was a pregnancy reaction and did not take it too seriously. However, as the symptoms worsened, Gu Sansi invited Zhao Yikun to help Chen Wanting, who finally diagnosed her anemia!
A few days ago, when Gu Sansi decided to have Chen Wanting go to Changshan Medical Clinic for treatment, he wanted to go with Chen Wanting. Chen Wanting was also very much looking forward to this. After all, Gu Sansi's doing so was a manifestation of his concern and attention to her. However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!
As the Minister of Personnel, Gu Sansi was already very busy with official duties, and the Yijing court was currently in a turbulent time, so Gu Sansi had more things to worry about. This also resulted in Gu Sansi being unable to fulfill his promise to accompany Chen Wanting to Gu Sansi's medical treatment.

The reason why Chen Wanting came to Changshan Medical Clinic so late today was because Gu Sansi said that he could spare the time, so Chen Wanting was waiting for Gu Sansi!
But the final result was disappointing. Chen Wanting, who was stood up, was so disappointed that she could only come to Changshan Medical Clinic alone with her maid to see Pei Zhixiu.

Seeing Chen Wanting's complicated expression at this time, Pei Zhixiu also had some realization. Although she was not interested in the Z situation of the Yijing court, because Gu Sansi was Ye Mingsheng's trusted and beloved general, and he held a high position as the Minister of Personnel, there were many rumors about Gu Sansi's family affairs...
Pei Zhixiu knew something about this, so he was able to recognize Chen Wanting at a glance. Pei Zhixiu was not interested in the situation inside the ancient mansion or Chen Wanting's situation in the ancient mansion, but as a doctor, Pei Zhixiu still had to fulfill his duties.

"Mrs. Chen! If you need, I can make some changes to the prescription, but heart disease needs heart medicine. Medicine and stones can't solve your heart disease!"

"Although your anemia symptoms have not worsened at the moment, it is because of the effect of this prescription. But Madam Chen, if your worries cannot be resolved as soon as possible and you cannot adjust your mood, then it will not be a good thing for you or the baby in your belly!"

Chen Wanting was also shocked when Pei Zhixiu mentioned her child. After hesitating for a while, she mustered up the courage to ask Pei Zhixiu:

"What's the worst that could happen to Mrs. Pei?"

Facing Chen Wanting's question, Pei Zhixiu seemed a little hesitant. Seeing this, Chen Wanting forced a smile on her face and said calmly:

"Mrs. Pei, don't worry. I can bear it!"

Hearing what Chen Wanting said, Pei Zhixiu no longer hesitated and whispered:

"It will affect fetal development or premature birth!"

Seeing Pei Zhixiu's hesitation just now, Chen Wanting had a bad feeling in her heart, but when she really heard such an answer from Pei Zhixiu's mouth, Chen Wanting couldn't help but feel nervous, and a sense of fear surged in her heart!

Seeing Chen Wanting's distraught look, Pei Zhixiu also hurriedly comforted her:
“Mrs. Chen, I’m talking about the worst case scenario. You are far from that situation now, so you don’t have to be too nervous. As long as you take your medicine on time, adjust your mood, and face life with a positive and optimistic attitude, I think you and your child will be safe. You don’t have to worry too much…”

Hearing Pei Zhixiu say this, Chen Wanting suddenly spoke up:
"Mrs. Pei, I envy you so much. How wonderful it would be if my husband could love me as much as the Marshal loves you!"

Pei Zhixiu was a little embarrassed after hearing this and didn't know how to answer, but Chen Wanting looked at Pei Zhixiu with envy!

What she just said spoke from her heart. She really envied Pei Zhixiu. You know, although these noble ladies enjoyed wealth and splendor, they usually had to stay in this deep courtyard, like a canary, never leaving the door.

However, only Pei Zhixiu can not only enjoy the wealth and splendor of a noble lady, but also can freely enter and leave the Ye Mansion every day to do what she likes. For this reason, many people in the circle of noble ladies in Yijing envy Pei Zhixiu, and some even encourage their husbands to submit a petition to Ye Mingsheng to impeach Pei Zhixiu!

Over the years, Ye Mingsheng received about twenty or thirty memorials impeaching Pei Zhixiu, but he suppressed them all and did not let anyone influence Pei Zhixiu's life. This naked favoritism and protection made almost all the noble ladies in Yijing envy Pei Zhixiu.

To be honest, Chen Wanting didn’t envy Pei Zhixiu before. At that time, she thought Gu Sansi loved her enough and she was the happiest woman in the world!
However, through recent events, Chen Wanting also realized that Gu Sansi did not love her as much as she expected. If Gu Sansi could really love her as much as Ye Mingsheng loved Pei Zhixiu, then he would never call Wang, the yellow-faced woman, to Yijing to disgust her.

Feeling Chen Wanting's envious and even jealous gaze, Pei Zhixiu seemed calm on the surface but was secretly happy in her heart.

Although Pei Zhixiu was forced to follow Ye Mingsheng due to the situation in Gongdu, every time she thought of this decision later, she believed that it was the most correct decision she had ever made in her life. She even believed that it was a gift from God to her...

····························
····························
Just as Chen Wanting went to see Pei Zhixiu for medical treatment, Cui Shao, Gu Sansi and Li Jianzheng, three important officials of the Yijing court, were holding a brief meeting in the classroom of the Ministry of Personnel.

The three of them exchanged a few brief greetings, and then the Minister of Justice Li Jian went straight to the point and threw a question to Gu Sansi.

"Minister Gu, what do you think about the news from the Attendant Department?"

Facing Li Jian's question, Gu Sansi frowned slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he said perfunctorily:
"Li Shangshu, these are just some rumors at the moment. It has not been confirmed that they are from the Attendant Department, so the authenticity remains to be investigated!"

Hearing Gu Sansi's perfunctory words, Cui Shao remained calm as he picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. Li Jian, who was asking questions on the side, seemed to be somewhat disdainful of Gu Sansi's answer and sneered, saying:
"My Minister Gu, Lord Gu, whether it is true or false, you and I know it clearly. You are the Marshal's trusted general, and I don't believe that the Marshal has not communicated with you on this issue!" "For the sake of our colleagues, please tell Lord Cui and me the truth!"

After saying that, Li Jian bowed to Gu Sansi in a formal manner. At the same time, Cui Shao also looked at Gu Sansi. Under the gazes of Li Jian and Cui Shao, Gu Sansi felt helpless in his heart...
In the past, Ye Mingsheng liked to ask for his opinion whenever there was something important, to see if he had any ideas. However, things are different now. Ever since he became the Minister of Personnel, Gu Sansi feels that he and Ye Mingsheng seem to be drifting apart!
Especially in the matter of Zhao Wanxian, he and the Marshal had obvious differences. Although the Marshal raised the board high and let him go in the end when facing his mistakes, Gu Sansi could feel that the Marshal's trust in him had decreased, and he seemed no longer willing to discuss some major matters with him!

Just like this time's working methods and the five reform measures, I hadn't heard any information about them in advance, and I only knew about them afterward, just like everyone else!
Although he was very upset about this, facing the gazes of Li Jian and Cui Shao, Gu Sansi was unwilling to speak directly and continued to perfunctorily say:

"Minister Li, things haven't even started yet, please be patient and don't be so anxious!"

"Minister Gu, it's not me who is impatient now, but the people under me who are impatient. After hearing the news of layoffs, everyone is in a panic and they are all asking me for information!"

"I believe that Minister Cui's situation is the same as mine. How can we do our work when people are so restless now?"

“Minister Gu, you are the Minister of Personnel. The Ministry of Personnel is under your jurisdiction…”

Facing Li Jian's repeated questioning, Gu Sansi firstly didn't know what the inside information was, and secondly he was a little annoyed, so he just snorted and said:
"If you are so interested, Minister Li, why don't you just write a letter to the Marshal and ask him? Or you can go directly to Jiangnan to meet the Marshal!"

"Minister Gu! You said so!"

Seeing that Li Jian and Gu Sansi were about to quarrel, Cui Shao coughed lightly and said:

"Alright! Alright! You two are the pillars of the country, and we are all dedicated to the public good. Have some tea, have some tea!"

After listening to Cui Shao's words, Gu Sansi and Li Jian also stopped talking. As the two of them stopped their verbal battle, the atmosphere in the classroom became a little solemn. Seeing this, Cui Shao broke the silence and said:
"You two! I am the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue! Although the court's finances are under my control, I believe that you two should have some understanding of the court's financial situation, so I would like to express my position first. I support the Marshal's layoffs!"

Although Cui Shao's voice was very calm, as if he was going to ask everyone to eat something later, it made Gu Sansi and Li Jian look serious. They both knew very well the weight of Cui Shao's words...

At this time, Cui Shao continued:
"But layoffs involve the country's capital, so I think we should be extremely cautious in this matter."

"In Liaoyang, Youyan, Qilu, Jiyu, Yunbing and other places, they have all undergone multiple rounds of inspections and rectifications. I personally think that there may be some problems in these places, but they are not big problems, let alone systemic problems!"

"The situation of the affiliation of Guanzhong, Jingchu, Huainan, Jiangnan, Yongliang and other places has not been long. Although some problems have been solved, there are still some problems such as bloated departments and low efficiency!"

"So I think we can take advantage of the reform this time to completely solve these problems, which will be more beneficial to the people of the world!"

After listening to Cui Shao's words, Li Jian and Gu Sansi fell into deep thought. They both understood what Cui Shao meant. To put it simply, Cui Shao's idea was that layoffs were certain for financial reasons, but he would not lay off their own people in the Fengwu Army, but would instead target others!

Facing Cui Shao's idea, Li Jian thought for a moment and then said with a smile:

"Minister Cui's words are the words of an experienced and experienced person. I agree with them!"

Cui Shao didn't react to what Li Jian said, but just took another sip of tea. After thinking carefully, Gu Sansi nodded and said:

"I also agree with Minister Cui's idea!"

After seeing Li Jian and Gu Sansi express their opinions, Cui Shao nodded slightly and asked Gu Sansi:

"Minister Gu, do you know when the newly appointed Chu Yushi of the Marshal will arrive in Yijing?"

Gu Sansi was a little surprised to hear Cui Shao suddenly mention Chu Zhiyi, but he still answered in detail:

"It's not clear yet! But I think it should be soon, in the next few days!"

"Well! If Censor Chu comes, Minister Gu, you must take good care of him!"
