He Qingxiao looked at the girl who was seriously seeking an answer, and raised her lips: "Miss Kou insists on wanting to know the answer, is she really not afraid of being in prison?" ”

If you change someone else, I'm afraid you'll be happy to pretend to be confused.

Xin Yu lowered his eyes and stared at the cup of tea in front of him: "I didn't embarrass Lord He like that before." ”

She knew that He Qingxiao was not here to arrest her this time, so she took the opportunity to ask.

Thinking about it this way, her behavior is somewhat ...... Give an inch and take a mile?

Xin Yu felt a hint of heat on her face after realizing it.

He Qingxiao suddenly felt that the girl who had always been calm and calm in front of him had changed a little. He couldn't tell what had changed, but he felt more comfortable than the sabre-rattling of the previous days.

"It's because—" He paused, he wanted to casually pull out a high-sounding reason, but when he met the pair of clear Ling Ling's eyes, he said his true thoughts, "Civil cases are under the control of the Yamen of the Shun Heavenly Mansion and the Criminal Department, and most of the Jinlinwei are under the orders of the emperor to investigate the case, and you can find a reason to meddle in these things, or you can turn a blind eye." And I personally have no interest in arresting Miss Kou in prison. ”

Hearing this, Xin Yu tightened the teacup in his hand, raised his eyes and looked at He Qingxiao: "Zhou Tong's death has nothing to do with me. ”

Although it was with her reminder that Miao Susu took precautions to kill Zhou Tong, in the final analysis, Zhou Tong died of his greed and viciousness.

This answer surprised He Qingxiao a little, but the openness in the girl's eyes didn't seem to be fake, which made him have a smile in his eyes that he didn't even notice.

"That Kou girl wait patiently, if there is any situation in Ling Zun's affairs back then, I will inform you."

Xin Yu lifted the teapot and refilled the teacup in front of He Qingxiao: "Thank you, Lord He." ”

This misunderstanding did not expose her and her mother, and it was also possible to check whether Kou Qingqing's father died in an accident, which is the best of both worlds.

He Qingxiao took two sips of the teacup and put the cup down: "Then don't disturb Miss Kou's busy." ”

Xin Yu got up: "I'll send Lord He." ”

He Qingxiao didn't refuse, and Xin Yu sent him out of the corner gate and said goodbye.

Then Xin Yu watched as Lord He walked into the bookstore.

Xin Yu stood still at the corner gate for a moment, then turned around and went back to the east courtyard.

Xiaolian is cleaning up the stone table.

The autumn sun was shining, and the stone tables and benches that had been cleaned up were clean, and it was completely impossible to see that there was anyone talking here just now.

Xin Yu sat down and called Xiaolian to sit too.

"Xiaolian, I didn't ask carefully before, Miss Kou's father accidentally fell into the water on the way to transfer, where did he transfer?"

Although Xiaolian didn't understand why Xin Yu asked this, she immediately replied: "I heard from Mrs. that our master was transferred to Wanyang." ”

Sure enough, it was Wanyang.

It's no wonder that Lord He, who is the envoy of Jinlinwei Town, turned into a ditch in the direction of investigation.

However, Xin Yu didn't plan to say anything, if after Lord He's investigation, Kou Qingqing's father's death was different, it could be regarded as her reward for Miss Kou.

The more she moved forward on the thorny road of revenge, the more she felt that Kou Qingqing's identity gave her such a good protection.

"It's okay, go and help me get "The Story of Peony"."

Xiaolian responded, and quickly brought a copy of "The Story of Peony", which was a clean and clean "Peony Record" reprinted by the bookstore.

Xin Yu laid the book flat on the stone table, bathed in the autumn sun and slowly flipped through it.

He Qingxiao returned to the yamen, and his subordinates had a new situation to report.

Zhou Tong has been to Guchangbo Mansion.

Although I have only been there once, it is a little strange that Zhou Tong's identity can intersect with Guchangbo Mansion.

He Qingxiao pondered the newly obtained information, and his heart moved: "Check what was abnormal in the Guchangbo Mansion in April, pay special attention to whether anyone has been out of the capital, and be careful not to alarm the other party." ”

Zhou Tong is Jinlinwei's person, he will not be cared for even if he investigates everything, but Gu Changbo is not an ordinary noble. Gu Changbo's sister is the concubine who is in charge of the harem, and his nephew is King Qing, one is a queen, and the other is the prince who many people default to.

He went to check the Guchang Bo Mansion, and if he was not careful, he would be set on fire.

"You can slow it down and don't involve too many people in the survey."

Of course, Jin Linwei is not a monolith, and there are not many people who are not used to seeing him palm print Beizhen Fusi. Everyone said that the courtiers who sat in his seat must be the emperor's confidants, but in fact, until now, he couldn't figure out the emperor's intention of arranging it like this.

As night fell, He Qingxiao returned to the Changle Marquis' Mansion.

The Changle Hou Mansion covers a wide area, which is larger than most of the Hou Mansions, and the buildings are even more gorgeous and magnificent, with groups of slaves and maids. He Qingxiao walked inside, saluting all the way and asking for peace.

He had a slight smile on his lips, but there was no sway in his eyes, until a woman appeared.

The woman is middle-aged, but she can see the beauty of her youth.

"Master Hou hasn't had dinner yet, has he? The slave maid wrapped the wontons with shepherd's cabbage, do you want to cook a bowl for Hou Ye? ”

The smile on He Qingxiao's lips became genuine: "Thank you, Aunt Gui." ”

A short time later, a steaming bowl of wontons was placed on the table.

The wonton filling is large and thin-skinned, floating in a sea bowl sprinkled with green onions and red chili oil, and there is a plate of balsamic vinegar and a plate of shredded cold chicken on the side.

He Qingxiao is not very spicy, but he likes to eat it, so he tasted the soup first, and Ruyu's cheeks turned a little red.

When the woman saw it, she couldn't help but say, "Master Hou still eats less spicy food, which hurts his stomach." ”

"Got it." He Qingxiao responded with a smile and took a big gulp.

The woman watched silently and sighed inwardly.

This huge Hou Mansion seems to be full of flowers, who knows that it is not easy for the Hou Ye.

The magnificent house was given by the emperor and had to be taken care of, and the groups of slaves were also given by the emperor one after another to be raised. There is money everywhere, but Hou Ye has no benefit except for the New Year, and after becoming the envoy of Jinlin Weizhen, he will not make a lot of money as people think.

The dignified marquis, I'm afraid I can't even get the money to marry a wife.

The woman sometimes couldn't help but wonder if this was the emperor's purpose.

Hou Ye couldn't marry a daughter-in-law, and the vein of the righteous brother who had fought for the world with the current saint was broken, and there was no future trouble at all.

Sins and sins, she shouldn't have such a big rebellious idea as a little slave.

But—

The woman looked at the gobbling young man with pity, and still couldn't help but think: If the queen mother was still there, the Hou Ye would not have had such a difficult time.

She was originally a person close to her mother, and her mother took pity on the infant Hou Ye and sent her to take care of this poor child who had no father and no mother.

The marquis grew up in a flash, but the mother has been missing for more than ten years.

Empress...... Still alive?

"Aunt Gui—"

The woman suddenly came back to her senses: "Master Hou, what's wrong?" ”

The young man under the lamp was as clear as jade, and his eyebrows were stretched: "I said that the shepherd's cabbage wonton is delicious." What is Aunt Gui thinking, is there something on her mind? ”

"No, no." The woman subconsciously denied it, looked at the handsome young man who was even better looking than the woman, and changed her words, "There is a matter on my mind." ”

He Qingxiao showed a look of listening carefully.

"Master Hou has reached the age of marrying a wife, do you have a favorite girl?"

The relationship between Gu Changbo and Concubine Shu was written incorrectly before, but now it has been changed.
