After being reborn as a widow, the mistress of the Hou family remarried a powerful official

Chapter 92 Gu Zhennan returns to Beijing

"Madam, I have something to say to you."

Ke Yiqing was surprised. It was a coincidence that she came and had something to say to him.

"You talk first."

Li Wei looked ashamed, "Madam, I just found out today that the third master of the Gu family has returned to Beijing."

Gu Zhennan returned to Beijing? !
She stood up in shock, not even noticing that she dropped the cup in her hand.

"What's going on? Why did he suddenly come back to Beijing?" Nowadays, the Hou Mansion has no power and is just a showpiece. How can it bring him back from outside the city?
Li Wei sighed, "I have inquired, and it was Xuan Pinghou who escorted him in through connections. It is said that he was given a lot of rice and noodles."

"Marquis Xuanping?"

No wonder, when she returned to the Marquis Mansion the day before yesterday, she saw that the second lady was quite proud of herself. She had not been beaten for a long time, and she even refused to eat the steamed buns when they were cold.

It turns out that I already had support from my mother-in-law!

When she thought that Gu Zhennan was back, her eyes turned red with anger, and she just wished she could cut this scum into pieces with a thousand knives!

"Ma'am, please punish me. It's all my fault. If I had paid more attention, this kind of thing would never have happened."

"What's the point of looking at it? The person he wants to redeem, Marquis Xuanping, is not something you and I can control."

There's no point in being anxious right now. It's better to leave the urgent matters alone and think about countermeasures later.

Ke Yiqing took a few deep breaths and said, "We will discuss this later. I also have something to tell you now."

She passed the news she learned from Yu Changsheng intact to Li Wei.

"Even wealthy businessmen are included?" Li Wei frowned, "What should we do? Our shop is almost out of food. If we open another porridge shop, I'm afraid..."

He didn't say the rest of the words, but both of them knew that Deji Hall would not end well by then.

She sat back on the couch. The matter was urgent, but it was useless to be anxious. It was better to calm down and think about what to do.

"Where are Yan Ming's people?"

"A message has been sent that we have reached the pass. Lord Yan has sent someone to meet us. If we can travel faster, we can meet up the day after tomorrow."

Fortunately, she decided to send someone to get food at that time, otherwise the family fortune she had worked so hard to build would have collapsed as soon as the imperial edict arrived.

"I don't know when the Holy Spirit will issue the decree, but I guess it won't be too late."

"What Madam said is that we still need to find ways to raise food."

The two of them were talking inside, and Yu Jin's angry voice came from outside, "I know, I know, I'll just take it in for you."

What's going on here?
The door was pushed open with a creak, and Yu Jin put down the cup in his hand, "Miss Liuli is outside the house. She said that Lord Yan sent a message and asked someone to send you some supplements to eat."

Ke Yiqing lifted the lid, and the delicious fragrance hit his nostrils. It turned out to be the best blood swallow.

It had been a long time since she had eaten bird's nest, and she really missed it.

"She is interested, please give it to me properly."

Yu Jin groaned and finally got up.

Seeing that she was satisfied with her meal, Li Wei's guilt deepened, "It's all my fault. I was busy giving you rice and noodles, but I forgot about this."

He was born in the countryside since he was a child. It was very easy for me to get the honors and become a minor official. However, I didn't enjoy the good life. I didn't tell him about it even after I died, but I was dragged down.

It’s hard to survive, so how do you know the daily expenses of an official’s wife?

"Pfft." She couldn't help laughing, "A man like you is naturally not as sophisticated as my daughter's family. Just remember that from now on."

Being interrupted by Liuli, Ke Yiqing also had many concerns in his heart.

"Are you watching from behind, Marquis Xuanping?"

"I had already evacuated people according to Madam's instructions."

She was not surprised by this, but if the information in their hands were known to Marquis Xuanping, he would definitely be killed and quickly followed.But what if the people who have this information are Yan Ming's people?

She had no intention of ruling the country, nor did she think of overthrowing Marquis Xuanping. She just wanted to swindle some grain from him.

First there was Lou Xiangchun, and then he helped the second wife many times. He was willing to help even poor relatives like Gu Zhennan who could not reach a place with eight poles.

Since he is acting so arrogantly, I think Marquis Xuanping has a lot of food in his hands.

After making up her mind, she immediately went out to stop Liuli's carriage.

"Madam, are you sure?" Liuli looked heavy. She had been working with Yan Ming all year round, so she naturally knew the weight of this news.

If it is true, then Xuan Pinghou in their hands is tantamount to having a fatal handle.

"Miss Liuli, I didn't give you this news for nothing. You have to do something for me." As she said this, she showed off Yan Ming's badge.

Seeing the waist badge was like seeing a person, Liuli's expression immediately changed, and she knelt down and said, "Liuli, I'll just let my wife control me."

Ke Yiqing smiled with satisfaction and motioned for her to listen.

Half an hour later, she watched the carriage leave.

The current food crisis has finally been solved. The next thing to solve is her good husband Gu Zhennan.

She wanted to go back directly, but she changed her mind on the way.

"Yu Jin, don't be in a hurry today. Madam doesn't have any decent jewelry now. Let's buy some first."

This is true. Ever since he got the hairpin a few days ago, Ke Yiqing really doesn't have anything good in his hands.

There are still many tough battles to be fought, so what if you don’t prepare your outfit?
"What do you like, madam?"

"Now I lack everything except money. I can buy whatever I like."

Deji Hall had a lot of money. Li Wei would give her a lot of banknotes every time she came here. She was worried that she had nowhere to spend money. Wasn't this a pillow for her when she fell asleep?
The master and the servant went to Chunxiang Courtyard with a lot of interest. This Chunxiang Courtyard was unusual. It was a jewelry store opened by an imperial merchant.

Many of the patterns and patterns in it are of palace style, and most of Shengjing's fashions were spread from this.

"Hey, a rare visitor came today!" The steward saw her early and greeted her with a smile.

Not a rare visitor?After marrying into the Hou Mansion, she didn't come for three whole years.

Ke Yiqing was a little embarrassed: "Sister actually still remembers me."

The person in charge is a woman. She is in her late fifties and looks like she is only in her early thirties because she takes good care of herself, so she always calls her sister.

The other party gave a sweet smile: "Don't say it's been a long time, even if it's ten and a half years later, I'll recognize it!"

As he spoke, the steward took her hand and praised her sincerely: "Madam is so beautiful. How can a commoner like me forget her when I see her?"

"The manager is joking. Yiqing also remembers you, so when he thought of buying a hairpin, he came looking for you."

Although there were elements of politeness, there was also her sincerity in it. Before she got married, she was also a little girl who loved beauty. Once she arrived at Chunxiang Courtyard, she couldn't walk around. After going back and forth, she became more familiar with the manager.

While the two were reminiscing about old times, they were looking at jewelry. She saw a lot of them and wanted to wrap them up.

Although the manager was an old acquaintance, he was not sloppy in making money at all. Seeing that she was spending a lot of money, he wanted to go upstairs with his people.

"There are just outdated things down there. Madam, why don't you follow me upstairs to see some treasures."

Are there any treasures upstairs?She thought about it. Although she bought a lot today, she really didn't feel satisfied, so she went up together.

Unexpectedly, a familiar voice called out to her at this moment, "My boss, is that you?"

Ke Yiqing turned around and saw a plainly dressed woman looking at her in surprise, with a bit of pride in her expression.

　Ahhhhh, Guigui has finally returned to the starting point, and has another manuscript saved. Guess who is coming!Dear readers, please recommend me and give me a monthly ticket!
