Chapter 269: Give Him a Favor
The conversation with the emperor did not last long, and Huai Enhou returned to the palace of Huai Enhou.
"Someone, go to the barracks and call your general Ben Hou."
The first thing Huai Enhou did when he returned to the mansion was to ask people to call Wen Qiao out of the barracks, and the people couldn't really hear whether Huai Enhou was happy or angry.
After Wen Qiao received the news, he did not delay, knowing that the emperor had said something to his father, and immediately rushed back.
When he came back, Huai Enhou was waiting for Wen Qiao in the front hall, Wen Qiao came all the way to the front hall, and as soon as he entered, he saw Huai Enhou's slightly solemn expression.
"Father."
Huai Enhou was originally closing his eyes to recuperate, thinking about the things that the emperor told him just now, and his heart was panicked.
Now that he heard Wen Qiao coming back, he slowly opened his eyes: "Are you back?" ”
Wen Qiao didn't know what Huai Enhou was going to say, but he bowed his head slightly and found a place to sit down.
"How are Zhao Qingyan and Chen'er doing?"
Huai Enhou asked, picked up the tea cup in his hand, and looked at Wen Qiao with a deep light in his eyes.
Wen Qiao saw Huai Enhou's question and his eyes, and immediately reacted, Huai Enhou must have known about Zhao Qingyan.
"Father, Qingyan is not in Zhuangzi, she was kidnapped."
Wen Qiao could only sigh, since Huai Enhou already knew, he had no intention of hiding it.
"If I don't ask today, when are you going to hide it from me?!"
Huai Enhou was in the palace today, and the emperor left him behind, and this is what he said.
If he hadn't mentioned the emperor today, Zhao Qingyan had been kidnapped, then he didn't know when Wen Qiao would tell him.
"You don't tell the emperor that you don't tell me as a father, but I'm also half a father of light smoke, and you just hide it from me?"
Huai Enhou is dissatisfied with this, could it be that he will add obstacles to Wen Qiao?
Wen Qiao sighed when he heard this, knowing that Huai Enhou was angry now: "Father." He spoke slowly.
"I've been in the barracks all along, and I don't have time to come to the mansion to tell you about it." Then, he paused, as if he had thought of something.
"Besides, my mother doesn't like light cigarettes, and when I said it, my mother knew about it, and maybe I would make a big fuss again, so I didn't mention it in front of you."
Mrs. Cheng's dislike of Zhao Qingyan is something that the entire capital knows, and there is no way for Huai Enhou to refute this.
Hearing Wen Qiao's explanation, Huai Enhou sighed: "The emperor told me that you think it is the squire of the Ministry of Works, but what evidence is there?" ”
Huai Enhou is angry and angry, as for this daughter-in-law, he still likes it, so it is more important to find Zhao Qingyan first.
"There's no evidence, but I've already had people keep an eye on some of the more suspicious people, so my father doesn't have to worry too much."
If the waiter of the Ministry of Works really did this kind of thing, Huai Enhou Mansion would definitely not be appeased, and Huai Enhou saw that Wen Qiao had his own way, so he didn't say anything.
However, in this matter, after all, the people of Huai'en Houfu were kidnapped, so Huai Enhou still decided to tell Mrs. Cheng about this matter.
"Even if your mother doesn't like Zhao Qingyan anymore, she is not an ignorant person, no matter what Qingyan says, she has been married to you for so long, and she is already a person from the Huai'en Hou Mansion, and your mother won't say anything."
Wen Qiao pursed his lips, but in the end, it was Huai Enhou's decision, and he didn't refute it.
Mrs. Cheng was called over by Huai Enhou, and saw that the two fathers and sons were rarely present, but she didn't see Zhao Qingyan's woman, so she did her position after saluting.
"Master Hou, what is the matter with letting me come over all of a sudden?"
Mrs. Cheng looked at Huai Enhou and then at Wen Qiao, not knowing what the two fathers and sons were doing.
"Madam, light smoke her, kidnapped."
Huai Enhou said the matter directly, and Mrs. Cheng was not prepared yet, and was instantly shocked.
"Kidnapping? Who would dare to kidnap the wife of a dignified general? ”
Mrs. Cheng's first reaction was that Huai Enhou was lying to her, but when she saw Huai Enhou and Wen Qiao both with solemn expressions, she understood that this matter was true.
No, Mrs. Cheng didn't like Zhao Qingyan so much, and after learning that Zhao Qingyan was kidnapped, she did have a little bit of bitterness in her heart.
But after Huai Enhou told her that the emperor also knew about it, his face changed instantly.
At this moment, even if she didn't like Zhao Qingyan anymore, she couldn't be happy.
Zhao Qingyan is a person from Huaienhou Mansion, the wife of a dignified general, who was kidnapped, if it is spread out, how ugly it will be.
Mrs. Cheng has always been a good-looking person, so naturally she will not care about this matter.
"So, do you know who it is?" Mrs. Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and said softly.
"It has nothing to do with the squire of the Ministry of Works."
Wen Qiao spoke coldly, his face was still calm, in his opinion, Mrs. Cheng did not fall into the well at this time, which was already very face-saving for him.
When Mrs. Cheng heard Wen Qiao say that she had something to do with the waiter of the Ministry of Works, her eyes flashed, and her face was a little strange: "Master, Qiao'er, I may be able to help with this matter." ”
As soon as these words came out, the two men in the front hall looked at him with suspicious eyes, not believing what Mrs. Cheng said at all.
can't blame the two of them, after all, according to Mrs. Cheng's attitude towards Zhao Qingyan, tell her about it now.
Without adding to the chaos, Wen Qiao and Huai Enhou were already very satisfied, and suddenly they said that they wanted to help find Zhao Qingyan, but something was wrong.
"Mother, don't make a mess about this matter."
Although Huai Enhou didn't say anything, Wen Qiao said it directly.
Mrs. Cheng knew what Wen Qiao was worried about, so she didn't bother with her son.
"I know why you didn't let me interfere, but you can rest assured in this matter, even if I don't like Zhao Qingyan anymore, Zhao Qingyan is also from our Huaien Houfu."
As she spoke, she paused, and her face had already regained her calm: "It just so happens that I know the wife of the waiter of the Ministry of Works, so I will invite those two to come and sit tomorrow." ”
This seat is naturally not a simple visit, Wen Qiao heard this, bowed slightly, and there was no objection.
It's a good thing that Mrs. Cheng is willing to help, and maybe she can really find out some useful information.
Immediately, Mrs. Cheng asked people to prepare a post, and asked Mrs. Shilang to bring her family's daughter to Huaienhou Mansion as a guest.
Mrs. Yu was still surprised when she received the invitation, although she knew Mrs. Cheng, her friendship was not so deep.
However, it is very face-saving to be able to receive an invitation from the Huaien Houfu and go to the Huaien Houfu to be a guest.
So, Mrs. Yu immediately began to prepare what to wear and which look to use when she visited tomorrow, and naturally prepared a trip for her daughter Yu Ning.
Yu Ning had never been to the Huaienhou Mansion either, and he didn't know what kind of style the Huaienhou Mansion was, so he began to be curious.
