Chapter 220 Framing
"Unfavorable, my father is already dead, so what is unfavorable?"

Song Hengye was in a hurry, so he grabbed the letter and read it for himself, but saw that there were only three or five lines written on it, and the handwriting was scribbled, indicating that the situation of the person who wrote the letter was very urgent.

Gu Qingyou could only see the back of the paper, but he could also see the clue, and looked at Xue Lan worriedly.

"It seems that the matter of adopting a righteous girl will be let go again."

Song Hengye could send a special letter to remind him, which showed that the situation was serious, Xue Lan made a decisive decision, and quickly ordered someone to send Gu Qingyou back to the small courtyard.

However, Song Chengye was shocked by her words just now, and he couldn't believe it: "Mother, are you crazy to recognize Gu as a righteous daughter?!"

Husband and wife become brothers and sisters, what kind of thing is this!
Hengye's letter did not explain the exact situation, Xue Lan was anxious, and impatiently said: "I want a daughter, what's wrong? Have to report to the son?"

"Mom, what are you talking about!"

After what happened to Cui Tao last time, Song Chengye didn't dare to contradict him at will, but he felt awkward after all. He murmured for a long time before suddenly saying: "Ms. Gu cheated us of a large sum of money when she left. If she recognizes the god-in-law, she will marry again." At that time, we have to post another dowry, so why do you bother to come?"

To be the adopted daughter of the Duke's Mansion, the dowry is naturally not stingy, even if it is an ordinary lady from an official family, it will cost tens of millions of taels of silver, isn't that a waste of money?

Xue Lanmei stared round: "I'm not dead yet, you can give my money to whoever you want, take care of yourself first, and I'll burn the incense!"

Song Chengye left in shame and anger.

Gu Qingyou was sent back to the small courtyard, but she wanted to fly to the northwest. On the one hand, she wanted to know the troubles that the Duke's Mansion was about to encounter, and most importantly - she admitted that she was worried about Song Hengye.

If the higher-ups are determined to target the Duke's Mansion again, then his trip to the northwest this time, could it be a trap?

The more I think about it, the more confused I feel. According to the despicable character of the current saint, it is not impossible to do it.

"Miss, the Princess is here!"

Shuang Jiang's voice interrupted her upset, Gu Qingyou propped herself up and sat up, Chang Le had already entered the inner room.

"Oh, you are still injured, lie down quickly!"

It was the first time Chang Le came here since that day when he went to seek revenge from Ye Lan, and there was no trace of disappointment in the divorce, which made Lu Qing heaved a sigh of relief.

"Why did the princess come here suddenly? Have you had lunch yet?"

"I don't even have the mind to eat, I'm so full of gas!"

Gu Qingyou's heart skipped a beat, could it be because of Ye Lan?
Chang Le took a few mouthfuls of herbal tea, patted his thigh and said: "I just got the news that the prince of the county who went to the northwest on behalf of General Xiao Song sent a secret report to the emperor, falsely accusing Ning Guogong of forging military records and stealing military pay. Stopped halfway, otherwise the emperor might not be sure what will happen to the Duke's Mansion!"

Forging military records and embezzling military pay?

Gu Qingyou laughed out of breath: "How is it possible? If the Duke of the country is really corrupt and owes so much money, the emperor won't even have this decision?"

Chang Le looked at her deeply: "I'm afraid of being hated by others. It's not about embezzlement, but about treason."

Following these two words, Gu Qingyou's heart stopped for a moment.

"Why is it involved in treason again? This... I'm a little confused."

She has only been here for a few months, and she doesn't know much about government affairs, let alone Song Lian's previous affairs in the northwest.

But Qin Wang is also a general, and he knows the tricks of the opposite, and he has never shy away from mentioning this to Changle.

Some time ago, King Qin's spies in Beijing intercepted a secret report sent to the palace. Every word in it pointed directly at Song Lian, the former Duke of Ning.

Naturally, it is inconvenient for Changle to tell her, but she can tell her about the contents of the secret letter.

Gu Qingyou held her hand: "Does Mrs. Guo know?"

"Well, I went to the Duke's Mansion first, and then I came to look for you."

Chang Le nodded, since it was about the safety of the Duke's mansion, she naturally notified Xue Lan immediately, knowing that once the charge of treason was confirmed, even if Song Lian was dead, he would not be able to escape the exile of the nine clans.

Thinking of the filth and misery of being exiled in the dream, her body stiffened for a moment, and she lowered her eyes and said, "Don't worry, slander is slander and will never become a fact, and I believe that General Xiao Song has the ability to turn the situation around."

Gu Qingyou calmed down.

The crime of treason is no small matter, even if it is false, there must be some clues, and the person who releases the news must be very familiar with the situation in the northwest.

"According to what the princess said, the secret letter did not reach the emperor's hands in the end, did it?"

Chang Le held the horsewhip tightly with his right hand, and said coldly: "This is just a fabrication, so naturally we can't spoil the emperor's audiovisual."

But if the king can stop it once, he may not be able to stop it every time. Once the emperor finds out, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Actually, the Second Young Master also sent a letter back, saying that there is a change in the northwest, and we are told to be careful in Shangjing. Although he didn't say it explicitly, it is obvious that he also knows about it."

Chang Le nodded: "That's right, if you do bad things, you will definitely show your feet. General Xiao Song has been in the Northwest for so many years, how come he doesn't have many confidantes? It's normal to find out."

The temples twitched a few times, and Gu Qingyou raised his hand to pinch a few times irritably. Who on earth would use such despicable means to bring down the Duke's Mansion?

Song Lian is already dead, and there is no great benefit in killing them all like this?

She suddenly raised her head, looked at Chang Le and said: "Princess, do you know who the little county king was sent by the emperor to take over the Northwest Camp? What is the relationship with the Duke's Mansion?"

Chang Le frowned and thought for a moment, then shook her head resolutely and said: "As far as I know, the little county king is just a dude like Song Chengye and Ye Lan, and has nothing to do with the Duke's mansion~ Do you doubt him?"

Gu Qingyou couldn't tell what was wrong, and sighed: "The Duke had no enemies before his death, even those creditors who blocked the door later were mostly encouraged or intimidated, so I really can't think of anyone else who would want to take the country The government is put to death."

"Things in the court are unpredictable, but my father said that General Xiao Song has enough ability to save the Duke's mansion from danger. Let's trust him for once!"

Chang Le paused, and then said: "But you are the closest, it's better to keep some distance from the Duke's mansion, in case something happens, it's always good to involve one less person."

"Thank you."

Gu Qingyou concealed her uneasiness, and remembered another thing: "I heard that last time you beat Ye Xiaohou seriously, Mrs. Jing'anhou must hate you very much... It's all my fault."

She actually heard the sound of horseshoes coming from the corner that day, but she didn't expect Ye Lan to turn a sharp turn close to the roadside because she was in a hurry to find Changle.
