Qin Hanzhen read the letter this night and saw that it was the third watch before she fell asleep, if it weren't for Feng'er's urging again and again, she would be reluctant to blow out the lights.

In Zhao Mo's letter, most of them were saying all kinds of love words and good words, saying how he missed her on the road, how he was annoyed when it was inconvenient to communicate later, and how he returned to Beijing on the way back...... Anyway, no matter how tired he is, he writes it, and he is not afraid of getting tired of his fiancée.

However, Qin Hanzhen had always been very uninterested in such sweet and greasy words in the past, but now somehow, he didn't feel anything bad, but couldn't put it down, and watched it over and over again, with an involuntary smile on his face, his cheeks were red, and he couldn't help covering his face when he saw something embarrassing. But after covering her face, she continued to look "strong" with a smile.

When it was time to go to bed, she came back to her senses and realized what she had done. Thinking of Feng'er's stunned expression, she couldn't help but want to cover her face again. But thinking about it carefully, although she was embarrassed, she was in a good mood when she looked at the words in the letter. It seems that writing love letters or something is still a good way to fall in love. If you become a relative in the future, do you have to continue to urge Zhao Mo and write her a few more love letters when you are free?

This night, Qin Hanzhen tossed and turned like this, and didn't fall asleep until the fourth watch, and when he got up the next day, he found that dark circles appeared under his eyes, and he was immediately startled, and hurriedly looked for various things to hatch his face. She is about to be a bride, of course, she has to maintain her skin condition to the best, how can she get on a sedan chair with a pair of dark circles under her eyes?!

Because of her weak heart, she was a little lazy and didn't go to the main courtyard to have breakfast with her grandfather and grandmother. If it rains today, sometimes the rain is heavy, and it will be inconvenient to walk in the open air, whether it is blowing the wind, raining, or slipping and falling, there is a certain danger. For the safety of everyone, the Yongjiahou Mansion no longer follows the tradition, and the whole family gathers together every morning and evening to eat and talk, but depends on the specific weather conditions or the needs of each person. If you don't go to the main courtyard for dinner, just ask the girl to go to the kitchen to say hello, and someone will bring the prepared meal to the courtyard. There was also rain this morning, but the rain was not heavy, Qin Hanzhen asked the girl to go to the main courtyard and the kitchen separately to say something, but no one would find it strange.

Qin Hanzhen also had the kung fu, picked up Zhao Mo's letter again, and began to study the part of the content other than love stories.

Even if it was just an excuse, what Qin Hanzhen asked in the letter, Zhao Mo still answered seriously. He told his fiancée the information he exchanged with Yuan Tongzhi, but he didn't mention Yuan Tongzhi's recent mission. Qin Hanzhen was not familiar with Yuan Tongzhi, so naturally he would not pay much attention to it, so he only looked at the news related to the Mansion of the Prince of Shu and the Gu family's mansion.

Ah Shou didn't report to Qin Hanzhen for everything, so Qin Hanzhen didn't know. The manpower sent to Longdong has already reported the news, and they have repeatedly confirmed that Gu Changshi's son and daughter-in-law did not have a girl of the right age by his side, but someone had tested the tone of his old servant, and the other party may not have been wary at all, and blurted out a sentence: "Our lord's nephew and daughter live with my uncle's relatives, and she is the brother and sister-in-law of the cousin's family, who is a big official in the imperial court, and she has been carefully raised!"

Waiting for the tempter to inquire further: "Then your cousin is really a good fate! When you meet such a good brother and sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about it in the future." ”

The old servant woman pouted: "God knows if they are really good people, or are they pretending? Our cousin girl was born with Peugeot, and I have never seen a more Peugeot girl in my life." Her brother and sister-in-law raised her so carefully, and refused to ask her to meet people, God knows what he was thinking!"

These words seem to prove Chu Yuniang's identity in the fact that she lives in the Chu family and hardly even meets her relatives and friends.

Originally, Zhao Mo's people also wanted to find out the specific appearance of this Gu family cousin, or her appearance characteristics or something, it would be better if they could get a portrait. Helplessly, Gu Jiaoyu is not a fool, he seems to have faintly sensed that something is wrong, and he has told the subordinates in the family, the old servant woman refuses to talk about the cousin in front of outsiders, and Zhao Mo's life is afraid that if it continues, he will be startled, so he has to stop.

Although he didn't find out about the appearance of the Gu family's cousin, there was news leaked by the old servant, and Ah Shou could already confirm that Gu Changshi had lied about the whereabouts of his granddaughter. His granddaughter's family background is cleaner than him, although her father is also an official under the rule of the King of Shu, but he died a few years ago, and was not involved in the rebellion case of the King of Shu, so he did not even go through the procedure of being brought to trial, and when the King of Shu plotted against him, he was never counted as an old account. With such an identity, even if he returns to the capital and lives with the Chu family, there is nothing to be picky about, at most, his grandfather's identity is more sensitive and will be suspected. In that case, what is Gu Changshi doing hiding her whereabouts? Unless, his granddaughter's current whereabouts are really a secret?

In addition to his granddaughter's concealment of identity, change of family background, and admission to the palace, what other possibilities are there?

As soon as Zhao Mo returned to Beijing, Ah Shou reported the results of the investigation to him. Since Chu Liangyuan was already in the East Palace, Zhao Mo was not too anxious. He had already reminded His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that Chu Liangyuan's identity might be a little problematic, just her behavior of not seeing outsiders when she was in the boudoir was strange enough, if it wasn't for the princess's insistence on choosing her, she would have been swept down by the Queen Mother's side. Now that she has entered the East Palace and has been canonized, she has never really been favored by the prince, which shows that His Royal Highness the prince is wary of her. Zhao Mo planned to find another opportunity to privately inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the results of the investigation. It's just that there is a lack of evidence that clearly proves Chu Liangyuan's background, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows, it is just for him to continue to guard against Chu Liangyuan.

However, the Chu family has done such an unruly thing, which is already a bit out of line, and I don't know what Chu Zhengfang is thinking. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is expected to be wary of him in the future, and will never use him as much as before.

After talking about the granddaughter of the Gu family, Zhao Mo also talked about the fire in the backyard of the Gu family and the backyard of the Prince of Shu's mansion in the letter. He had also just received the news, so he didn't go into too much detail. It is conceivable that the clue is interrupted again, but it is not a complete clue. The fire may have destroyed a lot of things, but as long as the tunnels have existed, it is impossible for a single fire to completely destroy all traces of them. The prince of Shu may have felt that he was clever in putting this fire and stopped the officers and soldiers from digging in time, but why didn't he put this ruin into the hands of the officials?

Now, if the imperial court ordered that someone from the Ministry of Industry or the Zongren Mansion should come forward to take charge of the reconstruction of the backyard of the Shu Wang's Mansion, would the Shu Wang's prince still be able to refuse? He is still in a state of studying behind closed doors, being confined in disguise, and has little personal freedom, let alone organizing his own people to clean up the ruins and rebuild it. As long as he opens this mouth, it is tantamount to clearly telling others that there is a problem in his backyard. The official wants to find out what is going on in the ground of his backyard, not only can he not object, but he also has to kneel and knock three times, thank you Jinshang Longen, and rebuild his home for him!

Qin Hanzhen also felt funny while reading the letter. The prince of Shu always seems to do something clever for himself, but he will always pit himself, and I don't know if he is conscious?

Zhao Mo has just returned to Beijing, and the news he got is not complete, and in this first letter, the mention is not detailed. But in the second letter that came in the afternoon, he was a little more detailed, adding the latest news he had just received.

On the side of the Gu family's house, don't look at the group of foreign merchants who put on a posture of doing funerals for their companions, they are not the owners of the house, the neighbors are already discussing in private, and they feel that they are not very kind, and it is not too bad to take the Gu family's house for funerals. Since he died while living abroad, couldn't he have moved the coffin and the mourning hall to the temple? There were also kinder neighbors who sent people to Tongzhou to find Gu Changshi and his wife. The Gu family is the owner of the house, of course, this kind of thing has to be notified to them. It's a pity that although Gu Changshi and his wife were very shocked by the news, they had no intention of returning to the city, and looked discouraged, saying that the group of merchants paid the rent generously, and it was not convenient for them to worry about others.

The neighbors are getting more and more talking. After the funeral, the merchants moved the coffin to the temple after seven days of mourning, and all kinds of gossip was slightly reduced. But there are also many neighbors who feel that most of them are old households, and they are mainly official eunuchs, and suddenly a group of foreign merchants came, and they were so unsophisticated that they were really unsightly. The Gu family got their rent and moved to Tongzhou to live, so they didn't have to take these things to heart, but how many of them still lived there. In order to ensure that everyone was quiet, someone connected with them, and several families pooled a sum of money, which was almost half of the rent, and planned to give it to the group of merchants, persuading them to leave quickly and not continue to live.

Of course, the merchants refused, and now they are still grinding with their neighbors. The gossip never stopped, and some people complained that their group of people did not look like merchants, and inquired about whose merchants they were doing business with in the city, but to no avail, and some people wondered what the goods they brought were with them.

There are so many of them, and it is not clear whether there is credit for Zhao Mo's subordinates to sow discord. Anyway, the so-called merchants in the Gu family's house have attracted the attention of nearby residents, and they are no longer low-key and secretive. It's going to be hard for them to do anything out of the ordinary.

As for the prince of Shu, I'm afraid he's still regretting it, right? He may also be a little frightened. Because he had obviously sent the silk gold, it was reasonable to say that the merchants should have received his message and should have made a move, but they still did not move. This made the prince of Shu suspicious. He suspected that the letter he had sent out might have been intercepted, and several merchants had not received it at all!

Who intercepted the secret letter he sent out? The other party seems to have discovered what he had done on the silver ingot? That was the secret code used inside the Shu Palace, so it should not have been circulated, right? Could it be that someone who had worked for the Shu Palace's affairs betrayed him and confessed his secret to the imperial court?

The prince of Shu lived a frightened and frightened life, and then looked at the direction of the backyard, the hard workers hired by the imperial court cleaned up the ruins of the fire, and he was worried every day.
