After being tortured to death, Hou Men’s legitimate daughter returns and goes crazy killing her

Now that the conversation has come to this point, even if Mr. Zhao wants to leave any trace of kindness to the Duke's Mansion, it is unlikely.

Prime Minister Pei has already said that he must take care of the woman's reputation. If he insists on letting the crown prince's wife discuss it with the Duke, it will be biased.

Thinking this, Mr. Zhao nodded: "In that case, we will do as the Crown Prince's wife said and the case will be heard in public tomorrow."

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she became anxious: "Gu Qingyuan, are you crazy? Do you want the Duke's Mansion to become a joke to everyone in the world?"

"What are you talking about, mother-in-law?" Gu Qingyuan looked at Mrs. Chen with an indifferent expression: "Aren't you the one who made the Duke's Mansion a joke? If you hadn't forced me, I wouldn't have done this. After all, this is all It’s my mother-in-law’s fault.”

"My fault?" Mrs. Chen looked at Gu Qingyuan in disbelief: "What does all this have to do with me! Isn't it because you roped in these shopkeepers to sue me? In the end, you actually bit back, you... you are really not a thing !”

"Whatever mother-in-law says, let's see you tomorrow." After saying this, Gu Qingyuan looked at Mr. Zhao: "Sir, since the trial will not be open until tomorrow, can I leave today?"

Mr. Zhao nodded: "Well, Madam Prince, you and these shopkeepers should leave first."

As Lord Zhao finished speaking, Gu Qingyuan and the shopkeepers stood up and left.

But before she walked out of the lobby, Master Zhao's voice came to her ears: "Where is the Duke's wife going?"

Mrs. Chen turned around and asked with some confusion: "Didn't you just say that we can leave, sir?"

"What I said is that the Crown Prince's wife and the shopkeepers can leave. As for you, I will trouble you to spend one night in the prison." After Master Zhao finished speaking, he ordered the Yamen beside him: "Here comes, but the Duke's wife Just go down and rest.”

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she became anxious: "Mr. Zhao, you... what do you mean? I am the wife of the Duke of the country, you can't arrest me!"

"Mrs. Duke, you misunderstood. This is not arrest. Now the money in Madam Shizi's shop has basically gone to you, and your suspicion has been basically confirmed. I only want to lock you up to prevent you from fleeing in fear of crime. "Master Zhao explained.

"What do you mean it's basically confirmed? Mr. Zhao! Let me tell you, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. If I am found to be innocent in the future, I will make you pay with your life!" Mrs. Chen shouted with a look of reluctance. road.

When Mr. Zhao heard this, he immediately smiled: "Madam, if you are innocent, I will definitely go to your house to plead guilty."

After saying these words, Lord Zhao nodded, and someone took Chen down.

When Gu Qingyuan saw this scene, a smile appeared on his lips, but the smile completely disappeared when he saw Pei Qingci.

Oops!
  I owe him such a big favor again.

He wanted to say a few words to Pei Qingci, but after Mr. Zhao left the hall, he and Pei Qingci left the back house.

After leaving the court, Gu Qingyuan looked at the shopkeepers and said with a smile: "The shopkeepers helped me so much today. I will not forget what you did today. When this matter is settled, the shop on West Street will You are still in charge, but when the time comes, we can’t act according to Chen’s side.”

The shopkeepers were overjoyed when they heard this.

None of them thought that they could continue to operate after the incident was over. According to their plan, they even thought about settling down their families and dying together with Chen.

Now Gu Qingyuan's words are no different from a gift to them.

After thanking Gu Qingyuan one after another, the shopkeepers left.

After they left, Gu Qingyuan said to Suihan: "Bring the gifts I asked you to prepare before, let's go to the new house."

Suihan was slightly startled: "Madam, the new house has not been tidied up yet. It is not very convenient to go there now."

There is dirt everywhere in the house that has not been tidied up, especially the garden. There must be mud everywhere. Hearing this, Gu Qingyuan waved his hands and said: "It's okay, we can take a look at how the yard is being cleaned up."

Sui Han nodded: "Okay, then I will send someone back to get the gift."

Before she left, Gu Qingyuan specifically called her out and asked her to remember to ask when Prime Minister Pei would be returning.

After a cup of tea, Gu Qingyuan arrived at her newly bought house.

The house had indeed not been tidied up yet. When they passed by, the workers were still mowing the yard.

Gu Qingyuan gathered them together, gave them some food, and then took Suihan to the back door.

"Madam, are we going to see Prime Minister Pei?" Sui Han asked.

Gu Qingyuan nodded: "Yes, thanks to Prime Minister Pei these times, otherwise things would not have gone so smoothly."

Although it is not glorious to rely on others to act, for a powerless person like her, it is indeed good to have someone to help.

If the person who helped her was not Pei Qingci, she would be happy to see it happen, but it happened that the person who helped her was Pei Qingci, a man with a kind skin and a cruel heart.

"But didn't Madam say not to be too close to Prime Minister Pei?" Sui Han was puzzled.

"Yes, so we have to repay the debt clearly! Otherwise, the more we owe, the more we owe, and we will be in trouble in the future." As he spoke, Gu Qingyuan knocked on Prime Minister Pei's back door.

It was Pei Qingci himself who opened the door. When he saw Gu Qingyuan, his face was calm and he didn't seem to be surprised at all.

"I've met Prime Minister Pei." Gu Qingyuan said and saluted Pei Qingci.

Pei Qingci leaned on the door frame, looked at Gu Qingyuan, and asked, "Madam came to see me specially. What do you mean?"

Gu Qingyuan smiled slightly, then looked at Sui Han.

Suihan understood and immediately handed over the box in his hand.

Pei Qingci glanced at the box in Sui Han's hand, but did not take it. Instead, he looked at Gu Qingyuan with a half-smile and asked, "Are you trying to bribe the imperial official?"

"Of course not!" Gu Qingyuan hurriedly explained: "Prime Minister Pei has helped me many times. This is just a little bit of my thoughts."

"What do you mean?" Pei Qingci raised his eyebrows: "In that case, let's open it and take a look."

Gu Qingyuan nodded, and then asked Sui Han to open the box.

There was a butterfly-shaped jade pendant lying in the box. It was bright and lifelike in color. With just one glance, Pei Qingci could see the value of this jade pendant.

"Madam's thoughts are so precious! I'm afraid Pei can't bear such heavy thoughts!" Pei Qingci refused.

Gu Qingyuan smiled and then closed the box: "What are you talking about, Mr. Pei? It's up to me to decide how much I feel. If Mr. Pei accepts it, I will feel better."

"That won't work. Because I want you to feel better, I have to bear the risk of accepting bribes. Madam is not thanking me, but hurting me." Pei Qingci said with a smile but not a smile.
