"Madam, would you like to prepare a carriage?" There was such a big thing at home, Rosary thought that Qiao Guxin should go back and take a look.

Qiao Guxin raised her eyes and looked at the dazzling sun above her head, gently shaking her head, "There's no need to rush."

When she goes back now, she doesn't have to scare Mrs. Gu. Even if she is deceiving herself, she has to make Mrs. Gu feel that it's not that serious.

However, someone still sent a message to Gu, asking her to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion and stay there for two days.

Regardless of whether you are confident or not, just let people outside see that the Hou Mansion is not unattended.

The officials below are also very good. Prime Minister Gu has always been fair in dealing with matters and will not be partial. But if Gu is allowed to live here, it is hard to say whether he is particularly fond of this nephew.

As long as the Gu family survives, those individuals should not think of adding insult to injury.

This makes it easier for Shen Qiuhe to take action.

It was almost time for lunch, and the food was about to be served. The person below reported that Mrs. Wang was here.

Qiao Guxin nodded and let Mrs. Wang come in.

The meal was put aside and not served yet. However, it was sent to the study to prevent Shen Qiuhe from starving.

"Mrs. Shen Er." Mrs. Wang was a sociable person, so she called out when she saw someone.

The handkerchief in his hand was gently wiping the sweat on his face, but he kept walking and looked a bit informal.

"It's hot outside, Mrs. Wang, please come in quickly." Qiao Guxin took a few steps and greeted her.

"Don't blame me for bothering you at this hour." Mrs. Wang was dressed casually today, and it looked like she was just wearing everyday clothes at home.

To some extent, it is always a bit rude.

That's right, as I said before.

Qiao Guxin asked someone to bring the tea first, "Isn't it true that Madam's words have gone unnoticed?"

She couldn't figure out the purpose of Mrs. Wang's visit. She just entertained people warmly as usual.

As for the beating yesterday, both of them tacitly agreed not to mention it, as if such a thing had never happened.

Mrs. Wang smiled and did not bring tea. She just took out a booklet from her sleeve and said, "My master gave it to me. Although I am afraid that I can't help my wife, but my master feels that he is a coward and is afraid of missing anything. That’s why I sent the things over first for Madam to take a look at.”

Mr. Wang, as the Minister of Household Affairs, naturally knew about Qiao Wenqing.

Although women are not allowed to interfere in politics, it is inevitable to say a few words in private. Moreover, this is not in public. As long as you are sure that the other party is one of your own, it doesn't matter if you talk a few words.

Qiao Guxin took it with both hands, opened it and saw that it was the scholar who had been investigated by the Ministry of Household Affairs.

His registration and deeds were all found out. This man was an orphan and was raised by his neighbors. Later, because of his talent, a scholar from the village taught him how to read.

It's probably because good people don't live long, and a scholar died within a few years. Coupled with drought, this person became a refugee.

Settle down and work as a long-term worker in the landlord's house to earn money and study.

There are seals from several counties on this deed, which shows that this person has been transferred to many places.

This can also show that this scholar does not know the basics of the matter.

Moreover, it is quite impressive that he could reach this point on his own. I am afraid that nothing can be found in his home.

As Mrs. Wang said, this matter is indeed of no use. However, the fact that the Ministry of Revenue was able to find out to this extent in such a short period of time shows that it is very careful.

Qiao Guxin stood up and said to Mrs. Wang, "Thank you, madam."

How could Mrs. Wang dare to accept Qiao Guxin's courtesy? She avoided it, saying, "I can't help you. Madam is so polite, it will only make me feel ashamed."

After the two of them sat down again, Mrs. Wang said again, "Mrs. Shen and I hit it off immediately. I sincerely want to make acquaintance with you. From now on, wherever Mrs. Shen can use me, I will do my best."

If it were, without yesterday's beating, Mrs. Wang would definitely not be as fond of Qiao now.

Now that she is sure that Qiao Guxin is a person, there is no harm in making friends with her.

Take advantage of this moment to help Qiao Guxin. If anything happens to her in the future, Qiao Guxin will definitely give her some face.

To put it bluntly, this is a chance to give a favor, so why doesn’t Mrs. Wang seize it?

Of course, Mr. Wang can also send the news to Shen Qiuhe, but this is what people in the court should do, and Shen Qiuhe's official rank is high, which may not necessarily make him famous. It is better to use this opportunity in front of the woman.

Even if Qiao Wenqing cannot be saved and the Hou Mansion goes downhill, there will be no harm to her.

Qiao Gu understood this and wanted to stay with Mrs. Wang for lunch.

Mrs. Wang always wanted to shirk things, so when she heard that Shen Qiuhe was busy on weekdays and usually didn't have lunch in the inner courtyard, she readily agreed.

As soon as we sat down here, another news came from outside, saying that it was sent from the palace, asking Qiao Guxin to come to the palace to sit quietly.

Zhou Ming had already received the news, but now that she was pregnant and it was inconvenient to leave the palace, she had no choice but to let Qiao Guxin enter the palace.

Mrs. Wang's eyes turned slightly, and she just said that the trip was worthwhile. The Crown Princess wanted to have her wife enter the palace, so she naturally had to report it to the Queen. Since the Queen agreed, it meant that the Emperor did not want to kill Qiao Wenqing, and this matter must be done. There is still room for change.

"The empress treats the madam with true affection and loyalty." She couldn't help but sigh with a smile.

Qiao Guxin smiled and said, "Your Majesty is kind-hearted and always considers the people below you."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang didn't say a word, but was she still kind to Zhou Ming?

He is said to be kind-hearted, but when a military general is born, how can there be such a kind-hearted person? There are so many people in trouble every day in the capital, but Zhou Ming has not been seen to see his fateful wife.

However, this cannot be said openly.

The Crown Princess has a close relationship with the two sisters from the Hou family, so everyone knows it well.

The dishes have been served here, and someone else reported that Mrs. Li's wife was here.

It's quite lively now, and with Mrs. Wang here, it's hard not to miss people.

Mrs. Li came in in a hurry, "Look at me, I came at the wrong time."

She didn't even bother to wipe the sweat off her head.

Qiao Guxin said with a smile, "Why isn't it the right time? It just so happens that we can have dinner together and it will be lively."

Before Mrs. Li could refuse, Qiao Guxin had already placed the rosary beads on the dishes.

Mrs. Li took a look and saw that since Mrs. Wang stayed here, it meant that Shen Qiuhe was not in the inner courtyard. "Then I will be respectful and obey her orders."

He responded cheerfully.

After sitting down, he also explained his intention.

This person knew about Qiao Wenqing and came over in a hurry to take a look. General Li didn't know what to do. He only said that if anything happened to the Duke's Mansion, he would just send a message directly to the Li family.

"Don't worry, Madam, I won't leave Madam idle with this matter." Qiao Guxin was not polite.

Whether to use it or not, let’s talk about it first.

The women had their meal quickly and finished it in half an hour. After chatting for a few words and saying that they were afraid of disturbing Qiao's original intention, they all got up and left.
