Hearing this, Suihan said sternly: "Madam, please leave this matter to your slave. I will definitely find out."

After saying these words, Suihan left.

After Suihan left, Gu Qingyuan went to Ji Wenyue's residence.

When she passed by, Ji Wenyue was making snacks in the kitchen. When she saw Gu Qingyuan coming, she nervously wiped her hands on her apron and saluted him.

"No need to be polite." Gu Qingyuan helped Ji Wenyue up and said with a smile: "It would be thanks to your help with the embroidery work, otherwise I really don't know what to give to my father-in-law."

"Madam has a filial piety, so whatever you give her will be the same." Ji Wenyue said with a smile.

Gu Qingyuan smiled and continued: "By the way, Aunt Ji, you have been here for some time. Are the children at home worried? If you are worried, you can also take the children over and go home in a few days. There's a banquet going on here, so I just happened to stay for some food."

When Ji Wenyue heard this, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "Madam, you are joking. I am the only one in my family, and there is no one else."

"How could it be?" Gu Qingyuan was a little surprised. It turned out that Ji Wenyue had not married after leaving the Duke's Mansion!

"Something happened in the early years and the child was gone, so I left my husband's family. Since then, I have been alone." Ji Wenyue thought of the child she lost in her early years, and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.

child?

Gu Qingyuan frowned subconsciously. She really didn't know anything about the child, but after Ji Wenyue and the Duke Guo got along, there was no other man. Could it be that the child belonged to the Duke Guo?

If this is the case, then this matter would be much more interesting.

Judging from Ji Wenyue's appearance, she doesn't look like a frail person. There's no reason why she wouldn't be able to save her child!

Unless there is some hidden secret in it.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingyuan said with a pity look on his face: "Really? If the child in your belly is still alive, I think it will be as old as me."

Ji Wenyue nodded, her eyes full of love: "Madam, you are joking. If my child is still alive, he should be several years older than Madam."

"That's it." Gu Qingyuan said, reaching out and holding Ji Wenyue's hand, and said: "I hear what you mean, auntie, I'm afraid you don't have any relatives outside, so why not live here from now on? In the future, everyone in the house will need an embroiderer for clothes and other things. How about you stay here to have a shelter from the wind and rain?"

"This... this is impossible!" Ji Wenyue waved her hand and said, "Madam treats me extremely well. If I were to live here, it would be extremely rude over there!"

"It's not rude to be rude. It's useful to keep you here. You can stay here with peace of mind." After Gu Qingyuan said that, he asked his servants to prepare a new place for Ji Wenyue. Since he wants to stay here, naturally he can't stay like now. So crude.

Ji Wenyue couldn't refuse, so she had to agree, but when she lowered her head, a flash of expectation and pain flashed in her eyes.

After arranging the accommodation, Gu Qingyuan smiled and said: "Aunt Ji, you will work here from now on. If you need anything, just tell me."

After saying these words and the two of them being polite, Gu Qingyuan left.

When she returned, Suihan also brought good news.

"Madam! This slave has found a good house!" Sui Han said, laying out a drawing in front of Gu Qingyuan: "This house is in Wenyuan Lane. Many officials live there. The feng shui is incredible! And the house is The layout is also good, with a large yard with five entrances and a big pond in the backyard. You can even fish in the yard."

When Gu Qingyuan heard this, he immediately lowered his head to look at the drawings on the table. It didn't matter, and he frowned when he looked at her.

Who wouldn’t want to sell such a good house?
Seeing Gu Qingyuan frowning, Suihan's tone suddenly calmed down: "Madam, is there anything wrong with this house?" Gu Qingyuan shook his head: "There is nothing wrong with the house. On the contrary, this house is quite good, but... …”

"Just what?" Sui Han asked.

"It's just that this house is really nice." Gu Qingyuan looked at Suihan: "Have you asked about it? Who is going to sell the house?"

"My servant has inquired. This house originally belonged to the Ninth Prince. The Ninth Prince fell down inside and thought the yard was unlucky, so he put it up for sale, and the price was not expensive." Sui Han explained.

When Gu Qingyuan heard this, he immediately dispelled his doubts. The Ninth Prince was famously superstitious at that time. He once tripped over a stone because of a dream. From then on, all the brick floors in the Ninth Prince's house turned into mud.

Selling the house because of a fall in the house is understandable.

"In that case, then go and take over this house. If you don't have enough cash, you can use a shop of equal value to pay for it." Gu Qingyuan warned.

When Suihan heard this, he frowned subconsciously: "But madam, that shop is your dowry. I don't think it's worthwhile to trade the shop for the house."

It's really not worthwhile to trade the shop for a house.

After all, a shop can generate a steady stream of money, but a house can only be cashed in if it is sold, and this process is very long.

Gu Qingyuan waved his hand disapprovingly: "It doesn't matter, anyway, I have many shops, so I don't lack one or two."

Sui Han thought about it and felt it made sense, so he turned around and went to do it.

At the same time, in the prime minister's mansion.

Xiao Jingchen looked at Pei Qingci who was sitting there drinking tea and said calmly: "I have already taken care of the matter for you. Tomorrow, the title deed of your house will be transferred to Gu Qingyuan in my name."

Pei Qingci nodded and said calmly: "I have taken care of your affairs. Tomorrow, the household affairs will fall on you."

When Xiao Jingchen heard this, he was overjoyed: "Oh, Mr. Pei! Tell me about you, I have asked you to help me handle this matter since you became prime minister, and it has only been done for me now. You dare to say Aren't you excited?"

"The Ninth Prince is just joking, it's just entertainment after dinner. Don't you want to know what kind of fields people like Gu Qingyuan will eventually get into in the Duke's Mansion?" Pei Qingci said quietly.

When Xiao Jingchen heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly: "Sometimes I really don't understand. How can such a shrewd and wise man as my father allow you, a person who likes to watch the excitement and likes to use public affairs for personal gain, to be the prime minister? This is not a mistake for the country. ?"

"Using the public for personal gain? Isn't this a bit biased?" Pei Qing said politely.

"If it's not public for personal gain, then what is the exchange between us?" Xiao Jingchen asked.

"Then how do you know it was an exchange and not an appointment by His Majesty?" Pei Qingci retorted.

As Pei Qingci finished speaking, Xiao Jingchen laughed so wildly that he even cried.

Pei Qingci just looked at him quietly until he laughed enough, and then said, "Why are you laughing?"

"You are laughing because you don't understand my father!" (End of Chapter)
