Chapter 46: The Banquet

Mrs. Ning Guo, who was too young, had a delicate face, pure and clear eyes, a streamer skirt and gemstone earrings complemented each other, and the corners of her lips seemed to be smiling.

"Mrs. Zhao, when I came in just now, I bumped into someone from your mansion looking for you back."

What sent someone to look for her, there was nothing in the house before she came.

Mrs. Zhao was stunned: "Mrs. Ning Guo is mistaken, Xu is from Beppu." “

Qiao Yuan was very sure, and said with a smile: "That's right, it's your house." “

Mrs. Zhao subconsciously said: "How could it be ......?"

Her words paused in Qiao Yuan's smiling expression.

Qiao Yuan glanced at Mrs. Zhao, she had been by Qi Cun's side for a long time, and she was used to seeing him in front of outsiders, and it was really a bit bluffing to learn his serious appearance at the moment.

Everyone also reacted at this time, and their eyes were full of disbelief.

Kicking people out so directly?

In their circle, everything pays attention to leaving room to preserve their own dignity, so even though they were so angry with Mrs. Zhao just now, they can only endure it.

In particular, women who have already married should pay more attention in foreign affairs, because it also involves the relationship between the husband and the Chinese government.

If you come casually and act by temperament, you offend a certain lady, and when you go back to the pillow and the wind blows, your husband's future will also be affected.

They looked at Mrs. Ning Guo, who was sitting carelessly, and their expressions were in a trance.

Although Zhenbei Hou is hot now, he doesn't care about the relationship between his wives?

How much confidence he gave her, so big that she could do whatever she wanted, and she didn't have to be wronged for anything.

For a while, everyone was relieved and envious.

Mrs. Zhao is well versed in the rules of Mrs. Zhao's social circle, so she has always been fearless just now.

Now that she kicked such an iron plate, she was shocked and embarrassed.

But the Hou of Zhenbei is famous, and Qiao Yuan is also the edict of the saint, so it is really not something she can afford to provoke.

Mrs. Zhao gritted her teeth, her face turned red, and she was silent for a while, "There must be something urgent, Sister Lu, then I'll go back first." “

Mrs. Lu looked at her coldly, didn't say anything about leaving her, and hummed lukewarmly.

Mrs. Zhao had to endure the embarrassment and retreat.

At this moment, everyone's gaze changed when they looked at Qiao Yuan, thinking that if they offended anyone in the future, they couldn't offend this Mrs. Ning Guo.

The ready-made example is right in front of her, she won't give you the trick, who called her husband the current Zhenbei Hou.

It's just that there are really few people in Shangjing who can overshadow the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and if you want to be cheap in the future, you have to weigh whether you are qualified or not.

The people who had no sight were gone, and the house was much more relaxed.

With a smile on her face, Mrs. Lu greeted the guests, and everyone also said some good things to drive away the bad luck just now.

At the end of the day, the banquet was also a joy for the guests and hosts.

After the banquet, Mrs. Lu kept Qiao Yuan and solemnly thanked her daughter for being belittled, how comfortable it was to be a mother.

It's just that because of the situation, it's not good to get angry.

Mrs. Lu looked tired and thought of something: "Do you know why Mrs. Zhao is targeting you today?" “

Qiao Yuan shook his head calmly.

Anyway, she didn't care, she just drove out if she didn't like it.

Mrs. Lu looked at her clear eyes and suddenly fell silent.

The girl in front of her is really like a little fairy who has been raised in the Heavenly Palace, not stained with the slightest dust of mundane things, and I can't imagine how much effort it took to raise her like this.

Mrs. Lu sighed when she thought of a bunch of bad things at home.

"It is related to the previous Gongzhou disaster relief, the saint asked the Hou of Zhenbei to investigate the matter thoroughly, and the Hou of Zhenbei directly arrested all the officials involved in it and interrogated them in prison, and Mrs. Zhao's relatives were also inside."

Mrs. Lu apologized again, she didn't think it through, and invited Mrs. Zhao, but she didn't expect Mrs. Zhao to make disrespectful remarks on the spot.

Qiao Yuan was thoughtful.

Qi Cun never avoided her, but he would not deliberately mention it.

Since Qi Cun was driven to the study by her again, he had to go to the bedroom to take a look before going to bed at night before going back.

No wonder Qi Cun has been going out early and returning late these days, and the time to come back is getting later and later, sometimes Qiao Yuan is asleep, and he feels that someone has come in in a daze, and his eyes fall on him.

But it didn't bother her, so she didn't care.

It turned out that he was busy with these things.

Mrs. Lu sent Qiao Yuan to the main gate of the Lu Mansion, and saw a carriage parked on the side of the road.

Qiao Yuan likes to be flamboyant and flamboyant, and her car is inlaid with gold, silver and jade, and eight treasures of glass.

And the carriage in front of him is just the opposite, low-key, but it does not hide its noble quality.

Mrs. Lu smiled clearly: "Then I won't send it, my sister should be careful on the road." “

That person is so worried, just two steps away, and he came to pick it up in person.

Why did Qi Cun come back so early today.

Qiao Yuan met Mrs. Lu's playful gaze, as if someone had broken through the private affairs of the boudoir, and his ears were hot.

Saying goodbye to Mrs. Lu, Qiao Yuan walked slowly to the carriage, and just stepped on the small stool, as if he couldn't get used to her turtle speed, the curtain was lifted, and a big hand stretched out from inside.

The thin waist was encircled, and after the world was spinning, he had fallen on a solid wall of flesh.

If anyone saw it, they would be dumbfounded, how could the people in the carriage be so anxious as if they were robbing relatives.

Yes, Mrs. Lu was still at the door.

Thinking of her playful gaze, Qiao Yuan subconsciously slapped that hand away, lifted the curtain and looked out, but fortunately, there was no one at the door.

Qi Cun saw her movements, and his expression was pitiful: "The slave family is the unsightly secret concubine, and I hope Mrs. will take pity on her." “

Qiao Yuan hurriedly lowered the curtain, his face was a little red, "No, no." “

If it is seen by Mrs. Lu, how can you hold your head up in broad daylight in the future.

Qi Cun looked at her and didn't give up.

Qiao Yuan coughed awkwardly and said loudly, "How is the disaster relief investigation?" ”

Qi Cun's face changed slightly, and he became serious: "Officials and officials protect each other, and the involvement is quite extensive, and many officials have not yet found out the evidence, so they cannot be punished." ”

Qiao Yuan stretched his handkerchief: "I have a woman's opinion, Mrs. Zhao in the Privy Council, I heard that her brother was involved, her brother is the shopkeeper behind Baiyuan Building, last time Mrs. Zhao drank a few more glasses of wine at the banquet and had no intention of showing off, his brother asked her to help do the account business, I have been in the palm of my hand since I was a child, and the number of accounts is about the same as the number in Mrs. Zhao's mouth." ”

Qi Cun was silent and nodded.

He knew in his heart that he didn't know that there was such a thing, and he checked along Baiyuan Building, if it was really related to disaster relief and corruption, and finding out the dark account book would be ironclad evidence.

Instead, he pulled Qiao Yuan's hand over, slowly retracted his five fingers, and wrapped the petal-pink hand.

Qiao Yuan felt inexplicable, and pulled hard, but finally didn't take out his hand, so he gave up.

Qiao Yuan regarded the matter of the Lu Mansion as a small episode, and he casually mentioned what he felt was wrong in the carriage that day, but he didn't take it to heart, and he didn't think that Qi Cun would listen to it and start to investigate.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, he was involved.
