Don't panic, my mother and I are dressed as Houfu mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!

Chapter 143
"Young husband... miss, don't worry, Madam has already left the palace, but there is something at home, so let the villain come over and let you know."

It was raining too much today, and he knocked on the door for a long time but no one came to open it. He was worried about the situation inside and also afraid of alarming outsiders, so he climbed over the wall and came in.

In the middle of the night, he didn't dare to go directly into the house, so he leaned on the wall and yelled a few times, but there was no movement, so he hurriedly broke into the door.

Gu Qingyou was ashamed, maybe the two of them were too nervous just now, and because of the heavy rain, she and Shuang Jiang didn't see Bu Tian's shouts at all. Fortunately, they just moved here, and there were no handy weapons in the room, otherwise Bu Bu would have lost their minds just now. It's time to open the scoop.

But when the rain stopped, the first thing she did was to order someone to remove the iron sheet from the roof.

A few people were talking, there was whimpering at the door, and Xiao Yuanzi ran in from outside like a soaked chicken, circling around the steps and growling.

"Wow! ~Wow!~"

Seeing the way it arched its body and exploded its fur, Gu Qingyou suddenly realized that a dog's ears are better than a human's. This guy barked fiercely at the courtyard wall just now. Didn't he hear Bu Tian's shout?

Bu Jian dodged left and right to avoid the dog's attack, afraid that he would be trampled to death if he didn't pay attention, Gu Qingyou asked Shuang Jiang to wipe his face with a handkerchief, leaned over to hug the dog and pinched the dog's mouth to prevent it from continuing to mess around Called, asked: "What happened in the palace? Why didn't mother come directly?"

Coming here in a hurry, Shuang Jiang didn't know which bag the spare handkerchief was put in for a moment, and now it was troublesome to look for it, so he simply took out his handkerchief and handed it to him: "I haven't used this handkerchief, Brother Bu Tian will use it first Bar."

Bu Du wiped his face indiscriminately, the faint smell of powder on the veil made him a little distracted, but he quickly stabilized his mind, folded the veil carefully and kicked it into his arms, said with lowered eyebrows: "I, I'll wash it and return it to the girl."

He coughed a few times, then looked at Gu Qingyou and said: "Madam just entered the palace, and when she came back, she was accompanied by Manager Deng, so it was not convenient to come here, and I was afraid that you would be worried, so I specially ordered the younger one to report a letter. "

Gu Qingyou raised it again: "Director Deng? Deng Tong? What is he going to the Duke's Mansion for?"

Bu Tian bowed his head and said: "Director Deng brought an imperial decree, but the villain came here before he read it out, so he doesn't know the content."

Seeing that Gu Qingyou was in a hurry again, she hurriedly explained: "But judging by Madam's expression, it shouldn't be bad news. Miss, don't worry too much."

Having said that, Gu Qingyou still couldn't sit still, and walked out with an umbrella without even thinking about it: "No, I have to go and have a look!"

I knew she would react like this, Xue Lan told Bu Tian when he came, if Youyou wanted to go, let her go, so Bu Tian didn't stop her, just said: "The carriage is at the door, young lady, wear thicker clothes, come with the villain !"

Shuang Jiang took another cloak, and replaced it with the one she had just wet, and walked until the gate opened, when the porter finally heard movement.

When he saw Bu Tian coming out of the inner courtyard, his face turned pale in shock, and when he saw the two people behind him, he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

Although Gu Qingyou was angry that they almost made a mistake, this was not the time to care about it, so she just said next time don't sleep so dead, and hurried back to the Duke's Mansion.

Different from the small courtyard that was dark just now, the Duke's Mansion was still brightly lit in the heavy rain, it must be that Deng Tong had just left.

Everyone was still gathering in the front hall, their expressions were extremely heavy, especially Song Chengye, whose expression was even more gloomy than the weather outside. Seeing Gu Qingyou coming back, he was obviously a little surprised, and was about to leave with Xue Lin'er.

But Gu Qingyou didn't have time to pay attention to why he was like this, Xue Lan had already stepped forward to hold her cold hand, then touched her face, and said angrily: "I know you can't wait for a moment, such a heavy rain, you have to come here to do it what?"

Before Gu Qingyou could take off his hood, the first sentence was: "Mother, what did the emperor say?"

Song Chengye, who had just walked to the door, suddenly stopped when he heard this, and snorted coldly: "Weasels have no good intentions to pay New Year greetings to chickens!"

Gu Qingyou was stunned for no reason, Xue Lan said: "Don't worry about him, he has nowhere to vent his anger!"

It turned out that when Xue Lan entered the palace in the afternoon, after seeing the emperor, she was reprimanded before she could explain why she came.

What happened at the Concubine Sui's tea party last time was heard verbatim by the emperor. He didn't blame Li Wan'er for wantonly framing others, but instead blamed Gu Qingyou for intentionally misleading others, which caused Concubine Sui's embarrassment. It also almost offended Jing'an Hou's Mansion and Qin Wang's Mansion.

In the end, Xue Lan was reprimanded for not being strict in managing the family. As the wife of the eldest son, the daughter-in-law did not understand the etiquette in the palace.

Although before Xue Lan entered the palace, Gu Qingyou and Song Chengye had already signed the letter of reconciliation, but the news had not reached the palace. Seeing that the emperor was so impatient that he began to interfere in the marriage of his courtiers, Xue Lan kept his eyes open and did not confess the two It's already a matter of reconciliation, but it's a deliberate excuse: "Yuyou is the daughter-in-law personally appointed by the master. When he was alive, the minister's wife couldn't object. Now that the master has died for the country, the minister's wife can't drive him away, otherwise it wouldn't be let The master bears the infamy of treachery?"

The emperor was furious, and reprimanded: "Song Gong's righteousness is worthy of praise, but it can also be rewarded. If such a stupid woman who doesn't know the so-called so-called, can stay in the mansion, she will be able to glorify her family?"

Xue Lan fell to the ground in panic, but she was sneering in her heart. She was already very convinced that the more she wanted to protect Song Lian's reputation, the more the emperor would let her drive Yoyo away, in order to disintegrate the reputation Song Lian had accumulated during his lifetime.

Now that it was confirmed, she pretended to hesitate for a moment, and had no choice but to agree.

The emperor's face turned pale, and then he leisurely picked up a memorial and flipped through it slowly, and asked, "What is the reason for the Duke's wife to enter the palace suddenly?"

Xue Lan revealed a look of guilt, and told about the matter of being blocked for debts in the afternoon, and then said about the current financial situation of the mansion, and said with a sad face: "It's not that the ministers refuse to pay their debts, it's really that the mansion is short of money. , I can't come up with so much money for a while, those people keep saying that they want to jointly sue the imperial court, the minister's wife is worried, so she went to the palace first to plead guilty."

The first one looked obscure and difficult to understand. He stared at her for a long time until Xue Lan's arms were stiff, and then he said in a casual tone: "Dong Song has fought all his life and captured countless jewels. In addition to my usual rewards, the family property is more than a thousand dollars." Wan, how could you owe so much silver?"

Xue Lan scolded in her heart, so the millions of men in the Northwest camp are all made of mud?

I don’t know how much it costs every year just to eat, drink, and scatter, plus weapons and horses, martyrs and pensions, the emperor allocates a small amount of money every year, and I have the face to ask where it is spent?
But now she is playing the Xue family, so she can only pretend to be ignorant and say: "These ministers don't know, although..."

She showed a bit of embarrassment, and said falteringly: "Although the minister's wife is a little extravagant on weekdays, it doesn't cost so much. The master doesn't stay at home all year round, so I don't know if he has hidden the outer room..."
