"It would be a lie to say that there is no friendship." Gu Qingyuan paused and said: "To be honest, Prime Minister Pei did help me, but he did not help me, but the Duke's Mansion. If I say that I It’s not accurate to say that I have friendship with Prime Minister Pei. If I have to say, I should have some friendship with Duke Guo, otherwise why would he help me?”

Gu Qingyuan wanted to use Pei Qingci to put pressure on the Capital Order, but he did not want to have a too close relationship with Pei Qingci.

After all, she already owes him a lot now. If she continues to owe him more, I'm afraid it will become increasingly unclear.

Hearing this, the capital city officer nodded subconsciously, but he knew better.

He and Pei Tong were officials in the same court, but he didn't remember what relationship Pei had with the Li family. Moreover, Pei Qingci had never been a helpful person, so the people she could help must be special in his heart.

As for what kind of special law it is, the Capital Order is a bit unclear.

After hearing what Gu Qingyuan said, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but sneer in her heart. What a fool. She clearly had the opportunity to make the capital city taboo, but she gave up the opportunity herself. In this case, she would be rude!

Thinking of this, Mrs. Chen cleared her throat and said with a smile: "Yes, Prime Minister Pei does have some relationship with our Duke, otherwise Prime Minister Pei wouldn't have helped Brother Chen when something happened to him before!"

After saying these words, Chen's lips curved into a slight smile. Since Gu Qingyuan, an idiot, doesn't need this kind of relationship, she won't be polite.

With Pei Qingci pressing her down, she didn't believe she couldn't solve these troubles!
  When Gu Qingyuan heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

I already knew that Chen was shameless, but I didn't know that the other party was so shameless.

At this moment, the official outside suddenly shouted: "Sir, Prime Minister Pei is here!"

As the Yamen finished speaking, the capital magistrate hurriedly stood up from his seat, and then hurried out to greet the guests.

After the capital order left, Mrs. Chen walked up to Gu Qingyuan and said word by word: "You did it on purpose!"

"What do you mean?" Gu Qingyuan looked at Mrs. Chen and smiled: "Do you want the shopkeepers to sue you to court, or those IOUs?"

"You..." Mrs. Chen looked at Gu Qingyuan in astonishment: "It's you! It's all you! You did all this!"

Gu Qingyuan smiled slightly and said: "Mother-in-law, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. You said I did all this, but what do you think I did?"

Chen was furious after hearing this specious answer. She was certain that it was Gu Qingyuan who caused all this!
  But...but why?
  In the past, Gu Qingyuan was a master who allowed others to rub him the wrong way, so why did he become like this now?

"I understand, you, a bitch, must have tempted Brother Chen to go to the casino!" Mrs. Chen glared at Gu Qingyuan fiercely: "You are so cruel! You clearly know where that place is, but you still let Brother Chen Come here, you did it on purpose, to make the Duke’s government embarrassed!"

When Gu Qingyuan heard this, he almost laughed out loud.

Chen is really crazy, otherwise how could he say such nonsense?

Did she make the Duke's government embarrassed?
  Counting all the ugly things that happened in the Duke's mansion, how many of them were because of her!
  "Mother-in-law, if you think so, you are overestimating me. The child you raised is useless and now you are looking for reasons to blame others. What does Li Shichen's gambling have to do with me? Was it me who sent him to the card table? Don't tell me. It’s so fun, okay?”

Gu Qingyuan's calm tone completely angered Mrs. Chen. She raised her hand and was about to slap Gu Qingyuan in the face. However, before the slap landed on Gu Qingyuan's face, her hand was released due to a sharp pain. Come down.

She gasped, covering her wrists and looking outside. Pei Qingci was standing outside the door wearing a dark red official uniform, looking at her with a half-smile, and in his hand, he was playing with a stone he got from nowhere.

Pei Qingci turned sideways, looked at the capital magistrate, raised his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Zhao, your place is really lively. There are still people who dare to take action in the court."

As soon as the capital official heard this, he immediately shouted: "Ms. Chen! What are you doing! Do you think you can roar in court just because you are the wife of the duke?"

"I..." Mrs. Chen opened her mouth, and finally looked at Gu Qingyuan and shouted: "You...you woman actually called Pei Xiang here, you are really poisonous!"

"Presumptuous!" The capital order looked at Chen and scolded angrily: "Prime Minister Pei is here today to check the files. Don't talk nonsense!"

Hearing this, Pei Qingci threw away the stone in his hand and smiled at the capital city: "Master Zhao, there is no need to be angry. Since the Duke's wife thinks that the prime minister is intervening in this case, then the prime minister will intervene in a small way." Well, I have nothing to do in the afternoon anyway, why not watch Mr. Zhao try the case here!"

As Pei Qingci finished speaking, Mr. Zhao hurriedly said: "Then please take the seat, Prime Minister Pei!"

With that said, Mr. Zhao pointed to the position of the presiding judge and asked Pei Qingci to come up.

Pei Qingci waved his hand and said: "Your Excellency, you don't have to be like this. I will not take the position of chief judge. Today, I am just a spectator."

After saying that, Pei Qingci walked to Chen's chair and said quietly: "The Duke's wife is running around in the hall. I don't think I need any chairs, so why not let the Prime Minister sit down."

As Pei Qingci finished speaking, Mr. Zhao immediately asked his men to move the chair to Pei Qingci.

Finally, Pei Qingci sat on the chair under Chen's shocked eyes, and said to Gu Qingyuan who was standing beside her: "What are you doing, Mrs. Crown Prince, standing there? Sit down!"

In one sentence, it is clear who is close and who is distant.

Gu Qingyuan thanked Pei Qingci and sat on the chair.

Chen looked at this scene with a vicious light in his eyes. This Gu Qingyuan also said that he had nothing to do with Pei Qingci. If there is no relationship, then what does it mean to have a relationship!
  She was angry in her heart, but she could only stay angry. This feeling was really uncomfortable.

Going to the court again for questioning, Mr. Zhao continued to ask about the West Street shop.

At this time, Pei Qingci spoke: "Oh, it turns out to be a West Street shop. I know the truth about this matter."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhao hurriedly asked Xijie.

Pei Qingci then recounted the scene of closing down the shop on West Street that day. At first, the West Street shopkeeper was unwilling to give the money and even brought thugs to drive people away. However, after he showed up, those people obediently handed over the shop, and they From the beginning, they shouted that this was Chen's shop and that it would be difficult for anyone except Chen to use it.

After listening to Pei Qingci's description, Mr. Zhao asked shopkeeper Qian again.

Shopkeeper Qian nodded: "That's right, sir, that's it! The grassroots have been protecting that shop just because of the relationship between the Duke and his wife. Without her support for us, we wouldn't dare to compete with the Crown Prince's wife! But who knows that the Duke's wife is the only one who protects the shop? My father-in-law is not a good person and wants us to bear all the compensation. It is simply a fantasy!"
