But because he was afraid of losing the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Xie family's sign on the carriage had already been taken down.

"Chang Fu, go call the door." Lin Xiuzhi lifted the corner of the curtain slightly and commanded in a low voice.

"Yes, ma'am." Chang Fu got the order, and hurriedly stepped forward and gently patted the door.

Qianqiu in the small courtyard was pruning the flowers and plants, and suddenly heard the sound of the door, thinking of the young lady's instructions last night, Qianqiu's heart suddenly had a little more confidence, and she went to open the door with her head held high.

As soon as the people outside the door saw Qianqiu's figure, they were overjoyed.

"Where's your young lady?" As soon as Lin Xiuzhi saw Qianqiu coming out, she hurriedly said anxiously.

"My young lady is not in the house today." Qianqiu then slowly told the truth, Xie Qingyu did get up early in the morning and went out, and he was not in the courtyard at all.

Lin Xiuzhi snorted coldly, as if she didn't believe it, and glanced at the little guy below.

"The people who came today are the ladies and eldest ladies in our house, don't talk nonsense about you, your maid is obviously inside, let her wait with me to go back." The little guy got Lin Xiuzhi's approval, and said proudly.

"I said that my young lady is not here today, and this is the truth." Qianqiu looked at the menacing appearance of the crowd, although she was a little apprehensive in her heart, but she thought of the young lady's entrustment, so she was not afraid of anything.

"In that case, then we will go in and wait for your young lady." Xie Yunjin also got off the carriage at this moment, although they took the Xie family's brand, but there are not a few people coming and going here, and there is such a big movement, it is inevitable that people will be recognized, which is really a bit unfavorable.

When Qianqiu heard this, he opened the door wide and welcomed a few people in.

After all, people are from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the face that should be given is still to be given.

Lin Xiuzhi stepped into the courtyard step by step with Xie Yunjin's support, while Xie Youran followed silently behind the two.

As soon as a few people came in, they searched preconceivedly, but they didn't see Xie Qingyu's figure after searching around, and then they finally believed that Xie Qingyu was not in this small courtyard.

Lin Xiuzhi raised her head and glanced at this small courtyard, although the whole house is not big, but the decorations inside are extraordinary, and this land is still located in the capital, although it is the eastern suburbs, but there is a market outside the eastern suburbs, where did Xie Qingyu get the money to buy this courtyard.

Could it be that they stole their family's treasure? Thinking of this, Lin Xiuzhi's face became even more ugly, and this concubine's courage was too great, this thief had done it to the Prime Minister's Mansion!

"Just because where can your young lady afford such a yard, and why don't you recruit them from the truth?" Lin Xiuzhi's tone was very disdainful, a dilapidated house in the south of the Yangtze River had so much silver there.

Xie Youran heard this, and the corners of his lips unconsciously raised a mocking smile, this Lin Xiuzhi has really been in the inner courtyard for too long! They didn't even know that their family was a merchant, and the richest thing in a businessman was money.

When she and Xie Qingyu left the mansion that day, her father gave her a full 100,000 taels of silver, although she didn't know how much money her father gave Xie Qingyu, but compared to her, it could only be a lot more, and the minimum was 100,000 taels of silver, not to mention such a small courtyard, it was more than enough to buy two more sets!

"My lord once gave my young lady a sum of silver, and the young lady used that money to buy this yard, if the lady doesn't believe it, Miss Youran can also testify, and the master gave the two young ladies silver." Qianqiu's words were neither humble nor arrogant, but they made Lin Xiuzhi even more angry.

She is the dignified lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now she has called a little girl to teach her a lesson.

"Where has your young lady gone?" Xie Yunjin finally confirmed that Xie Qingyu was not in the courtyard at this moment, but she was not in the courtyard, where could she go?

"Miss said that the weather was good today, and she went boating with Miss Qin." Qianqiu basically just said one sentence and answered one sentence by themselves, and did not say anything superfluous.

"This concubine is real!" Lin Xiuzhi wanted to have a seizure when she heard this, but she was held by Xie Yunjin, Xie Yunjin looked at her mother's irritable appearance and shook her head slightly.

At the moment, it is indeed not that they have the initiative, but Xie Qingyu, if they don't bring Xie Qingyu back this time, I don't know how Daddy will punish him!

"Did your young lady tell me where she went?" Xie Yunjin's face also sank, but she still asked patiently.

"The young lady didn't say anything specific, and the slave didn't know."

This sentence almost blocked a few people from speaking, Lin Xiuzhi heard this, and immediately wanted to get up and go home.

"Madam, my sister is used to being playful, and since she has the heart to let us come, I'll wait a little longer before making plans." Xie Youran also stood up at this moment and comforted Lin Xiuzhi.

"Yes, don't be angry, this time my father has handed over this matter to my mother, so let's sit and wait first." Xie Yunjin also grabbed her mother at this time and persuaded her.

When Qianqiu heard this, she was very cooperative and made tea for a few people.

"Miss said that this is a clear fire, don't be angry, my lady may come back in a while."

——

On the other side, Xie Qingyu, Qin Zixuan, and Huo Xiangjun were eating leisurely on the second floor of Yunxi Building.

"Light rumor, you entered the palace this time but you saw the emperor and the queen's mother, what does the emperor look like? Is the queen as bright and dignified as the legend suggests? Huo Xiangjun was very curious and asked Xie Qingyu about the things in the palace.

Although she didn't have the opportunity to enter the palace, she was very concerned about the things inside, and she also wanted to enter the palace one day.

"Naturally, I saw it, but it's different from what I imagined, when you are promoted to a middle-grade lady, you can see it at the next big banquet." Xie Qingyu originally wanted to talk to Huo Xiangjun, but then he thought that there was a rule in the academy that it was strictly forbidden to talk about the saint, although there were only three of them in the private room, but there were not many people outside the door, so it was better to be careful.

"Xiangjun, we are just an ordinary person, if the emperor and queen are passed on, this." Qin Zixuan immediately understood Xie Qingyu's thoughts, and then explained to Huo Xiangjun.

"Blame me, I shouldn't have brought it up, by the way, the rumor, so what interesting things happened to enter the palace this time?" Huo Xiangjun only understood at this time, and nodded again and again, this crime of arguing can be big or small, and he still has to be careful.

"Interesting?" Xie Qingyu thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't think of anything, after all, he had been busy until late at night with his eyes open for the past ten days, and it was extremely difficult to complete the affairs in hand, and he had never thought of those fun things for a while.

"The princess of Danyang at the birthday banquet that day really lost face." Qin Zixuan suddenly remembered that Princess Danyang took the initiative to ask the emperor for marriage, and immediately said it to the two, but a pair of phoenix eyes swept Xie Qingyu from time to time, and her eyes were full of ridicule.

Xie Qingyu's face was also a little unnatural, but Huo Xiangjun didn't know about Nangong Chengyu, so he didn't notice anything.

"What's wrong with Princess Danyang?" Huo Xiangjun didn't know what was going on at the birthday banquet, and as soon as he heard Qin Zixuan speak, he immediately approached the two of them.

"Princess Danyang took the initiative to ask the emperor for marriage, but she was rejected by the prince of Nangong with a heart." Qin Zixuan looked at Huo Xiangjun very curiously, and then told the two of them as if he was telling a story.

However, Xie Qingyu never said anything from beginning to end, just listened quietly on the side.

"What! What kind of person is this Nangong prince, who dares to refuse to marry and become a princess of the dynasty. Huo Xiangjun was even more surprised when he heard this, and unconsciously raised his voice.

"However, the emperor did not punish him heavily, but only fined him for three months, but the princess was grounded."

"Is there a lot of money for three months?" Huo Xiangjun is penniless and the most sensitive to money.

"Nature is nothing compared to a grounding." Qin Zixuan said helplessly.

"Then this princess is really a little pitiful, and she was grounded just by making a request." Huo Xiangjun couldn't help but sympathize with the princess he had never met at this moment, and he was a little more curious about the prince of Nangong, what kind of woman was it that deserved to let him reject the princess of a country.

And at this moment, the protagonist of the story, Xie Qingyu, is eating happily on the side, and he is not involved in the topic between the two at all.

"Light rumor, who do you say this Nangong prince is fanciing?" Huo Xiangjun looked at Xie Qingyu, who was eating on the side, and said curiously.

When Xie Qingyu heard this, the tea in her mouth almost squirted out, and her tears almost flowed down, so she hurriedly drank a few sips of water and pressed it.

"I don't know who he has his eye on, but I think he must be better than the princess, otherwise how could he refuse the princess?"

Xie Qingyu praised himself almost without thinking, causing Qin Zixuan, who was on the side, to laugh to himself.

Huo Xiangjun was in the clouds, and he didn't know what the two were laughing at.

"Eat quickly, today I have a treat to celebrate my move to a new house." Xie Qingyu then diverted the topic and beckoned the two to eat.

"What, what's going on in the Xie family?" When Qin Zixuan heard this, the smile on her face disappeared, and she asked with concern.

When I went to Xie's house that day, I happened to see the scene where Xie Yunjin wanted to punish the rumors, could it be that the Xie family was embarrassed everywhere? I couldn't stand the rumors for a while, so I moved out.

"Light rumor, what's going on, aren't you really from the same clan as Yun Jin of the Xie family, how could you suddenly move out to live?" Huo Xiangjun is also very strange at the moment, the Xie family is the prime minister's family, and the environment is more comfortable than living in those small courtyards outside, naturally it is much better than living in the study, how can the light rumors be a little blessed?

"The Xie family is not my own home after all, although it is my own family, it is always a little estranged, and I am more comfortable when I come out alone." Compared with the other two's concern, Xie Qingyu seemed a little careless.

This decision was not made by her at the moment, on the contrary, it was a calm choice, since the people of the Xie family despised her so much, then why did she have to stay in the broken courtyard, everyone was different, she never planned to get involved in the battle for the throne.
