Chapter 131
Knowing her daughter's thoughts, Xue Lan also gritted her teeth with hatred. Why did they ignore the important figure of the queen before?

Based on this analysis, I am afraid that Concubine Sui also has a lot of inside information when taking over Fengyin. Maybe the emperor and the empress acted in a play, and Yong'an Palace was happy, but returned with a hot potato.

No wonder that at the tea party that day, Concubine Sui didn't look as happy as expected.

Later, when the plan failed, while she was furious, there was still worry in her eyes. It was very likely that she was worried about not completing the task assigned by the queen.

Speaking of Xiu Nu, Song Hengye went out to look for Huo Yun and hasn't returned yet, and he doesn't know how to contact him.

The matter of recommending a show girl must be approved by him.

After all, Gu Qingyou wanted to think about it, the queen and Concubine Meng were still different after all.

The two of them ebbed and flowed, and Concubine Meng's loss of power meant that the empress and the prince had become more powerful.

Taking the opportunity to bring down the Meng family would be like adding insult to injury at best, but choosing to fight against the queen at this time is undoubtedly going up against the wind, and the risk is much greater.

And if it fails, Duke Yu's mansion is likely to be destroyed, and the consequences are not something they can bear.

But with Xue Lan's character, the girl can't just let the poisonous woman plot for nothing, so she said: "Hengye is more aware of the situation in the court than we are, let's discuss this matter first, in case Meng Guifei will be released within a few days Woolen cloth?"

Although this may be negligible, harem battles have always been like this, until the last moment, no one knows who will die.

After hearing Xue Lan's words, Gu Qingyou took it for granted that the empress wanted to relieve the emperor's worries and problems, and to fight her at this time was equivalent to fighting the emperor. How could they be able to compete with the king of a country?
So he nodded and said: "Then let's let this matter go first, but don't send the ledger book back from Meng's house to the palace for the time being."

"That's natural, let's wait and see what happens, and watch them dog bite dog!"

Gu Qingyou stopped talking, took out Huo Yun's small portrait from her arms and stroked it for a while.

Meng Yan has never given up searching for Huo Yun's whereabouts, so she wants to exchange for recommending a beautiful woman, and let him let Huo Yun live—of course, the premise is that Huo Yun is still alive and he finds him.

As for the fate of the other show girls, she is not the Holy Mother and cannot save everyone, so they can only ask for their own blessings.

But what my mother said is also reasonable, she can't be impulsive and kill hundreds of people in the Duke's Mansion.

Sighing lightly, he stuffed the small portrait into his arms again, Gu Qingyou stood up and greeted Xue Lan, "I don't want to make such a mess, let's go home and have dinner first?"

The two were tidying up, and before they went out, they heard someone shouting outside the door: "It's not good, ma'am, something happened at home!"

Zhang Yong rushed in anxiously, behind him was an anxious Shuang Jiang: "Oh, Steward Zhang, why did you barge in without notifying me?"

"It's too late to explain, Madam, hurry back to the house and have a look!"

It was the first time for the two of them to see Zhang Yong messed up, seeing his disheveled clothes, as if he had just been torn apart in a fight, and once again had an ominous premonition: "Speak slowly, what happened?"

Zhang Yong patted his thigh again: "Ma'am, your natal brother brought a lot of creditors to collect debts, and surrounded the Duke's mansion completely. Go back and have a look!"

Song Chengye was the only one in the house at the moment, and when he first heard that Xue Aokun and his wife were visiting, he even brought Xue Liner to greet him, but as soon as he opened the door, he was pushed back by the swarming creditors.

Fortunately, the servants of the government soldiers stepped forward in time, and he was spared the bad luck of being trampled.

Xue Lan frowned, sitting on the carriage going back, she kept confirming with Zhang Yong: "Are you sure Xue Aokun and his wife brought someone here? They promised to borrow money a few days ago, why did they suddenly bite back?"

Not to mention anything else, their daughters are still in the Duke's Mansion, so it is understandable not to help, but the operation of bringing people to collect debts is very confusing.

Zhang Yong still had a bag on his forehead. Just now he was going out to look for Xue Lan. When he passed through the crowd crowded at the door, he was punched by someone. He narrowly missed his eyes, otherwise he would not be able to see the road clearly. .

Sure enough, before the carriage entered the alley, Gu Qingyou heard the voices of people in front of the Duke's Mansion.

Song Chengye hid behind the soldiers and shouted hoarsely, he was asking Xue Aokun and his wife why they turned their backs on their promises, not only came to collect debts by themselves, but also colluded with other creditors to come to the door together.

Xue Liner also lost the arrogance of the previous few days, her pretty face paled, she huddled in a corner and cried hoarsely, questioning her parents, if she refused to borrow money, it would be fine, and she even brought someone to the Duke's mansion to block the door, she really didn't care Is she this daughter?
Xue Aokun led his wife to stand at the front of the crowd. Facing Song Chengye and his daughter's accusation, he seemed a little lacking in momentum, but soon, he adjusted his mood, held up the IOU in his hand and said: "It's only right and proper to pay back the debt. The 60 taels of silver that was taken away has been overdue for half a year, and the promised interest has not been delivered as scheduled, do you want to renege on the debt?"

As soon as this remark was made, other people echoed it one after another, because most of the people Song Lian knew well were in the court, so nine out of ten people who came here knew each other.

It's just that no one expected that everyone would meet in the Duke's Mansion because of debt collection. Some of them who were embarrassed to come here suddenly became more imposing and shouted at the top of their voices.

Song Chengye was sweating profusely, and now he was the only one in charge of the mansion, but he was the most useless, his voice was full of smoke, but the crowd was still surging outside the door, showing no sign of retreating.

"Uncle, if you have any questions, you can come to the mansion to discuss them in private. Why are you doing this?"

Song Chengye tried to play the family card, thinking that the other party was angry because he hadn't divorced his wife for so long.

But Xue Aokun said: "There is nothing you can't say to others. If you have something to say, you can confront this official face to face. Hiding and hiding can only prove your guilt!"

Someone next to him shouted: "That's right! I heard that they wanted to transfer the family property to the Gu family under the guise of Heli because they owed too much debt. It's clear that they want to renege on their debts. It's shameful and hateful!"

This sentence was undoubtedly another depth charge, and the crowd broke out again, accusing Song Chengye one after another.

"It was a waste of our trust. I really don't know how Song Lian will feel if he knows that his son is such a rascal!"

"If he doesn't return it, we will jointly write a pleading paper and sue the emperor to see if he dares to transfer the property!"

"That's right, this kind of person doesn't cry when he sees the coffin, so why should we talk to him and just smash the door!"

Seeing that the situation was out of control, Song Chengye hastily summoned all the soldiers of the government to prevent them from breaking into the Duke's residence.

The carriage stopped at the corner, Xue Lan looked at the situation at the door of the house through the window, and was so gloomy that she could wring out the water.
