Qi Zhifu eagerly hoped that his wife would return to Jinling soon with Mrs. Derui and his niece, and he couldn't wait to see his niece.

At this time, when the tomb keeper of the Marquis of Jinling was inspecting the cemetery, he found that there were sacrifices in front of the tombstone of the original wife of the Marquis of Jinling.

It is related to the original wife, and the current Mrs. Jinling Marquis is particularly concerned. So the tomb keeper asked someone to go to the Jinling Marquis Mansion to deliver a letter, but as for whether he returned to the house again, the tomb keeper didn't care. Anyway, he dutifully reported it!

However, at this time, the Wang family, the wife of the Marquis of Jinling, was still thinking behind closed doors, and the management of the Jinling Hou Mansion was not as comprehensive as before. The news sent by the tomb keeper was first sent to the henchman of Jinling Hou Xie Yun.

Steward Xie felt strange, the person who could burn paper and incense for the first lady to pay tribute to him, except for Jinling Houfu, was Lord Qi of Jinling Prefect. In order to verify the guess, Steward Xie sent someone to the city gate to inquire, and learned that Lord Qi really went out of the city gate yesterday, and he went in the direction of the ancestral tomb of Jinling Houfu.

Steward Xie reported to Jinling Hou Xie Yun, "Master Hou, if you don't pay tribute to your first wife, Lord Qi must have a hidden secret, do you need to continue to investigate?" ”

When the Marquis of Jinling, who was playing with the jade fan, heard this, he chuckled in his heart, since the death of his wife and the disappearance of his eldest daughter, his father-in-law did not mince words to him, and his three uncles also regarded him as a thorn in the flesh and looked for trouble for him everywhere.

Now he is taking advantage of his status as the prefect of Jinling and often targets him. So much so that he doesn't dare to go out to socialize now, let alone go to the Qinhuai River.

"Everything related to the Qi family must be taken seriously. Steward Xie hurriedly sent someone to keep an eye on my third uncle, so as not to target me again. Marquis Jinling didn't dare to be careless, and carefully advised, "Once there is a situation, come and report it immediately, and I can also prepare in advance, just in case." ”

Steward Xie responded, "Yes, Master Hou!" ”

was targeted by the Lanling Hou Qi family, and Steward Xie also felt that it was difficult to do it in Jinling City, so he was cautious everywhere.

Steward Xie sent many people to stare at the prefect's yamen where the Qi prefect's mansion was located, and also at its back house. After learning that Mrs. Qi went to Yangzhou to offer incense, she was also quite curious.

After all, there are so many temples in Jinling, isn't it enough for Mrs. Qi to incense?

This matter is very strange, and you have to keep an eye on it.

Liu Paner and his entourage hurried and finally returned to Jinling on the afternoon of the third day.

Lord Qi couldn't wait at home, so he took leave and came to the city gate to greet him.

When Mrs. Qi saw her husband, she felt that her husband was doing something inappropriate, and without waiting for the car to stop, she whispered to her husband outside from the carriage window: "Husband, you greet her at the gate of the city with great fanfare, aren't you afraid that the Jinling Houfu will know?" The pair of Jinling Marquis who don't want to be decent, if they know that Ah Rong has been recovered, and they start to cry and fake mercy again, what should we do if they fight with us for Ah Rong? ”

When Governor Qi heard this, he raised his eyebrows, "Madam, my niece has a noble status, and she doesn't need to hide it at any time. Jinling Houfu, she can't hide, then it's above board. With me and the Qi family here, she will never be allowed to have an accident. ”

Mrs. Qi in the carriage couldn't cry or laugh, her husband was angry, and he deliberately angered the Marquis of Jinling, "You, you're really not afraid of being stuck by kraft candy." ”

At this time, Liu Pan'er also looked at the prefect of Qi from the carriage window, "What Lord Qi said is that since Ah Rong recognizes you, she must also recognize her father, but we have the final say on how to recognize the law." Why did Ah Rong disappear before? The investigation will continue, hoping to find out the mastermind. In addition, others are not good for Ah Rong, the Qi family does not allow it, and my husband and I do not allow it. ”

Qi Zhifu didn't expect Liu Pan'er to be in the same carriage as his wife, so he quickly arched his hands and bowed respectfully, "Mrs. Derui, Qi is polite." ”

Liu Pan'er pursed her lips and chuckled, "Lord Qi, don't be polite, because Ah Rong, we will be relatives in the future." I speak directly, and I have shortcomings, so please forgive me. ”

The prefect of Qi became more and more respectful and polite, "Mrs. Derui is too modest. There are many cars at the city gate, so let's go home first. ”

At this time, Ah Rong lifted the carriage curtain, delicate and cute, and in the past two days, she has been listening to her aunt Mrs. Qi say that her uncle deliberately found fault with the Marquis of Jinling, which made her feel a little more like and respect for her uncle, "Thank you, Ah Rong, thank you Uncle for looking for me for so many years." ”

Lord Qi saw the delicate and lovely Li Rong, who looked very similar to her sister, opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but she couldn't say it excitedly for a while, she just had red eyes and kept looking at Li Rong.

Whether a person really cares and likes, Li Rong can clearly feel.

Uncle really cared about her.

Qi Shuyuan smiled, "Daddy, let's go home quickly." It's almost noon, and I can't let my cousin go hungry. ”

"Okay, okay, go home." The prefect of Qi replied again and again, his eyes reluctantly removed from Li Rong's body, mounted his horse, and opened the way in front.

The prefect of Qi led people to welcome Mrs. Qi into the city.

The place where they spoke just now was not far from the city gate, and the people around them heard it. Therefore, after Lord Qi and the others entered the city, the little guy sent by Steward Xie of Jinling Houfu touched a handful of money and inquired with people nearby.

When I learned that there were not only Mrs. Qi and Miss Qi in the carriage, but also Mrs. Derui and a girl named Ah Rong.

That Ah Rong's girl is called Uncle Qi Zhifu, and she also mentioned Jinling Houfu. The most important thing is that the girl named Ah Rong looks very similar to Qi Shuyuan.

Those who can be sent out to inquire about the news are naturally clever little guys, and at this time, from the nonsense of these people, they can piece together a rough idea.

The prefect of Qi has found the missing eldest lady of the Marquis of Jinling!

Everyone in Jinling knows that the Qi Prefect has been targeting the Jinling Marquis Mansion, and the reason is the eldest lady of the Jinling Marquis Mansion who has been lost.

The little servant hurried back to Xie's house and reported to Steward Xie.

When Steward Xie heard this, he was also quite shocked, and the cup in his hand almost fell to the ground, "Continue to stare at the gate of Qi Mansion." ”

"Yes, Steward Xie." The little servant responded and retreated.

Steward Xie didn't dare to delay, it was a matter of the missing eldest lady of Jinling Houfu, and it was a major matter for Jinling Houfu. The lady died of illness, and it was not human power to reverse it, but there were so many servants around the eldest lady, and they actually disappeared, which is a man-made disaster.

Almost everyone felt that it was malicious and deliberate, the Jinling Houfu had not been forgiven by the Lanling Houfu for so many years, and had been targeted, and the root knot was here.

Steward Xie didn't dare to delay, and directly asked to see the Marquis of Jinling.

The Marquis of Jinling was talking to the beautiful big girl, with red sleeves and incense, at this time he listened to the servant's report, and learned that Steward Xie had an urgent matter to see, so he immediately pushed away the big girl who was begging for pleasure.

I asked Steward Xie to inquire about the Qi family before, and now there must be news. For the Qi family, Xie Yun, Marquis of Jinling, did not dare to slack off.

Marquis Jinling tidied up his clothes, walked out quickly, and hurriedly asked, "Steward Xie, what did you find?" ”
