After Du Wei returned to Jufu Pavilion, she dismissed a group of maids and wives in the courtyard, leaving Canglan alone in the outhouse.

If her guess is right, Xiao Tao will definitely come to her again in a while.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Freesia to bring Xiao Tao in from outside the courtyard.

Xiao Tao knelt down for Du Wei without saying a word when she entered the door, bursting into tears.

Du Wei looked at her lightly, "Have you figured it out?" ”

"Yes!" Little Peach choked.

Du Wei sighed: "It's a pity that it's too late now." ”

Xiao Tao took out a cloth bag from her waist and handed it over, "The slave and maid don't ask for anything else, just that the eldest lady can give the slave and maid a clean slate and avenge the master of Qinghe!" ”

Du Wei laughed in her heart, she was the one Qinghe should hate, why did the responsibility of avenging her fall on her shoulders now.

Seeing that she had accepted the cloth bag, Xiao Tao kowtowed respectfully and retreated.

Since that night, Du Wei has never seen Xiao Tao again, and the last time she heard the news from the outer courtyard that Qinghe accidentally fell to the ground at night, and the maid in the house did not notice it, and when she found it in the morning, the person had broken his neck and lost his breath.

At noon that day, Qinghe's personal maid Xiao Tao committed suicide in the house, but everyone secretly whispered that Xiao Tao committed suicide in fear of sin.

Du Wei sighed, went back to the house and opened the cloth bag that Xiao Tao handed her, only to see that half of the palm-sized, beautifully carved peach wood board was exposed, and the back was engraved with the birthday of the second lady Du Xue'e, while the other half was obviously disconnected from the middle.

Du Wei instructed Canglan to bring this thing to Cangming, and asked him to secretly go to the prosperity of Sun's Mansion according to her instructions to find a shopkeeper surnamed Miao.

It only took Cang Ming half a day to send the news back, and when Du Wei read Cang Ming's letter, she couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Two days later, a banquet was held at the residence of Governor Qian.

The first is to feast the officials who drove to Liangzhou with the saint, and the second is to celebrate the official recognition between Du Wei and Governor Qian.

It is said that a merchant girl became the niece of the governor, which is also a good story in the local area, so not only officials of all grades were present to celebrate, but even merchants with heads and faces in Liangzhou City could also attend.

For a time, Governor Qian's mansion was very lively.

Dignitaries and nobles from the capital, local businessmen and wealthy households, romantic and talented people, and all the ladies are gathered here.

In the garden, the house is full of splendor, the beauties wear rings and dingdongs, the clothes are bright, and the dark fragrance lingers everywhere they go; The young sons, all handsome and chic, either chanted poetry for fun, or talked about national affairs.

The maids held the wine cup, bowed down and stood on the side, in the center of the field, the singers and dancers were dressed in gorgeous costumes, looking forward to life, which was really beautiful.

Du Wei leaned close to Mrs. Qian, with a slight smile on the corner of her lips.

Governor Qian's intention to defend Du Wei was seen by everyone, and Mrs. Du and Master Du also made an exception this time to sit at the head of the position, bearing all kinds of eyes from all directions.

There are those who are jealous, there are those who are disdainful, and there are those who are suspicious......

And Sun Fu accounted for all three of these things, and the four bosses of the Dyeing Guild also came, so as to have a relationship with Du Laoye, because of the imperial merchant title of Sun Mansion before, so they did not care about Du Mansion's business.

Now seeing that Youlan Pavilion has handed over all the goods to the Hengfeng Bank of Du Mansion for consignment, and Miss Du's identity is also rising, everyone will feel that they will not suffer a loss if they are connected with Du Mansion.

The ladies and relatives huddled together, Robpa hid his face, and exchanged heads and ears in private, but his eyes kept on the king of England in the men's seat.

"I really didn't expect to see His Royal Highness here today."

"I heard that even Concubine Li Niangniang sent someone to send a reward to the eldest lady of Du Mansion to say goodbye."

"I didn't expect this Du Wei to be so beautiful, no wonder the King of England looks at her differently."

"Shh......h I heard that even the prince of Nanwang sent a congratulatory gift. ”

When it came to the prince of Nanwang, everyone's discussion was finally a little smaller, and there was still a little fear on his face.

The dinner party on the night of the Shangyuan Festival was a mess.

The emperor was furious about the assassination of the prince of Nanwang, and the queen and Concubine Li were also shocked, and the emperor was furious about this, and sent four imperial doctors in the palace to treat the prince of Nanwang.

"I heard that the life and death of the prince of Nanwang are still uncertain......

Listening to everyone's discussions, Du Wei's eyes quietly swept around, and sure enough, he didn't find Feng Duhan's figure, thinking that he was pretending to be seriously injured in order to hide people's eyes and ears.

Mrs. Qian kept smiling on her face, took Du Wei's hand, and introduced her to those wives and daughters one by one.

Those noble ladies originally thought that Du Wei was just a merchant girl and must have never seen much of the world, but after a few conversations, they had to secretly admit that this eldest lady of Du Mansion was indeed different.

"I heard that the hottest song "Smoke and Sand in Half the City" in Liangzhou City is from her, and even the emperor is full of praise when he listens to it."

"On the night of the Shangyuan Festival, she also made a "Song of the Thrilling Flood" on the spot, but unfortunately there was an assassin later, otherwise she would definitely be rewarded by the queen, I heard the king of England say that Concubine Li is particularly fond of it, and she is ready to summon her."

At this moment, suddenly an attendant outside the door announced in a loud voice: "The prince of Nanwang has arrived!" ”

"Bang dang!"

"Whoa!"

During the banquet, no less than a dozen wine cups were broken in an instant.

Even the King of England, who was chatting and laughing with everyone, couldn't help but look surprised.

Governor Qian hurriedly led someone out to greet him, "The prince is here, and the lower officials are far away." ”

As soon as the words fell, an ebony chariot was carried in from the outside, a lacquer-ink chariot seat, surrounded by carved sea cliffs, and the big red chariot curtain dragged to the ground, and a total of eight guards carried it before and after, and hugged them into the garden.

The King of England recognized at a glance that it was a step given by the emperor, and everyone was stunned by such a battle for a while, and many people couldn't even slow down their breath.

"Ahem, cough, cough......" There was a suppressed coughing sound from inside the big red curtain, and everyone came back to their senses.

The king of England came forward and frowned, "Since the prince is injured, it is better not to walk around." ”

Looking at all the people, the king dared to talk to the prince of the south like this, and even the governor of Qian had to be careful with twelve points, for fear that something would go wrong.

"It's okay to ......" The big red curtain was raised, and the prince of Nanwang was dressed in a black brocade coat in the twilight, leisurely leaning on the cushion, because of the reflection of this black clothes, his face became more and more pale, and his slender lips were simply bloodless, only the phoenix eyes still exuded a chill, which made people dare not look directly.

"Since Wei'er was handed over to Lord Qian by the son of this world, why can't the son of this world come to recognize her relatives?" The wind and twilight are cold and secluded, the smooth black hair hangs down like a waterfall, and the hairband embroidered with silver thread is faintly mixed in.

Du Wei couldn't help but be stunned.

I'm afraid that except for her, no one here knows the true situation of Feng Duhan.

But shouldn't he have "recuperated" in the Old Nanwang Mansion at this time? Is it really okay to run out so grandly?

If people see the clues, won't they be guilty of deceiving the king?

Thinking of this, the villain in Du Wei's heart couldn't help but sigh: Lord Shizi, will people die if they don't put on a score? Can't you keep a low profile?
