Xiao Jingchen suppressed his smile and said seriously.

Facing the look on Xiao Jingchen's face, Pei Qingci smiled and said nothing.

What a shrewd person your Majesty is, how can you understand it just by saying you can understand it?

Regardless of whether Pei Qingci didn't understand him, he probably didn't know much about the Ninth Prince.

"Master Pei, I don't ask you to help me, but I will remember this kindness. If you fall into my hands in the future, I will definitely give you a way to live."

After saying these words, Xiao Jingchen turned and left.

Looking at Xiao Jingchen's back, Pei Qingci sighed helplessly.

People in the capital, including the royal family members, made one mistake. The reason why Pei Qingci gained power was not because of his ability, but because His Majesty delegated power.

Because of His Majesty's trust, he was able to dominate the government and the public.

In other words, if His Majesty no longer trusted him, he would not be able to be so prosperous in the court.

Rumor has it that what he said was recognized by the emperor of the dynasty, but have these people ever thought that what the emperor of the dynasty recognized was just what he said.

Nowadays, in the court, various princes are fighting openly and secretly among themselves. If His Majesty hadn't given permission, how could he have said so much to the Ninth Prince?

But His Majesty is right about one thing. The Ninth Prince is upright and upright. This is absolutely true.

He actually never thought that Pei Qingci was just a messenger.

The price offered by the fourth prince did not embarrass Suihan, and she even took over the house without selling the shop.

It just cost a lot of money to decorate it. Fortunately, everything in this yard is good, and it can be lived in without any repairs.

Gu Qingyuan took the time to pay a visit and she was even satisfied with the house.

The only thing she was dissatisfied with was that when she checked the back door, she saw Pei Qingci who was cleaning up the backyard.

At that time, Pei Qingci was dressed like a farmer, holding a hoe in his hand, and seemed to be tending the flowers and plants.

When Gu Qingyuan looked over subconsciously, the other party looked over with concern.

Gu Qingyuan felt very embarrassed when their eyes met. As for Pei Qingci, she thought the other party was not embarrassed because he smiled when he saw her.

"Mrs. Prince, what a coincidence. Why do you appear here?" Pei Qingci walked up to Gu Qingyuan, leaned against the door frame, and looked at him with a half-smile: "Did you come here specifically to find out the truth?"

When Gu Qingyuan heard this, he immediately denied it: "The Prime Minister is joking. I bought a new house here. I have free time today. Come and have a look."

Pei Qingci nodded in sudden realization: "I see, so in the future, madam, you and I will be neighbors?"

Gu Qingyuan wanted to deny it, but unfortunately, she couldn't.

Returning to the house from the back door, Sui Han looked at his wife with an apologetic look: "Madam, I'm sorry, it's all my fault that I didn't investigate clearly beforehand!"

"I don't blame you." Gu Qingyuan rubbed his temples tiredly: "The design of this house is very tricky. The back door is facing each other, but the front door is not on the same street. No one would have thought of this."

"What should we do now? Should we sell the house?" Sui Han asked.

"What are you selling? We are just neighbors. Besides, we are just facing each other by the back door. What are you afraid of?" Gu Qingyuan paused: "Besides, have we offended Mr. Xiangguo? What will happen even if we live next door? He still has Can you kill us?"

Sui Han looked at his wife's appearance and was very suspicious of Gu Qingyuan's words.

It would be nice if Madam could be more confident when speaking.

After returning to Guogong, Gu Qingyuan was called to Chen's residence.At first, she thought it was Mrs. Chen who found out about her buying a house. Only after she got there did she find out that Mrs. Chen was talking about the Duke's return to the house tomorrow.

After Chen reminded her, she realized that the day was coming so soon.

"Don't worry, mother-in-law, the daughter-in-law who should be prepared has already been prepared. When the Duke returns home tomorrow, he will definitely see an extremely grand scene." Gu Qingyuan said with a smile.

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, then took Gu Qingyuan's hand and said with a smile: "Thanks to you, our brother Chen really married a good wife."

Gu Qingyuan smiled slightly and said: "Mother-in-law is joking, these are what a daughter-in-law should do."

After that, Gu Qingyuan chatted with Chen for a while before leaving.

Early the next morning, Gu Qingyuan called Jiaorui over.

After Jiaorui arrived, Gu Qingyuan looked her up and down, shook his head and said, "The clothes you are wearing are not good enough."

"Why not?" Jiaorui looked at the clothes on her body in surprise. These were all made for her by Madam.

"The Duke of Guo is a scholar, and the clothes you are wearing now are a bit frivolous." When Gu Qingyuan made these clothes, they were all for the prince to see. Now, naturally, he cannot wear them like this in front of the Duke of Guo, especially today's occasion. , you will definitely get scolded if you wear it like this.

"Ah, this..." Jiaorui thought for a moment and said, "I still have some decent clothes, how about I trade them in now?"

"No, I have some here too." Gu Qingyuan said, and told Suihan: "Go and take Aunt Rui to dress up."

Suihan nodded and went down with Jiaorui.

A quarter of an hour later, Jiaorui walked out again.

Looking at Jiaorui's clothes, Gu Qingyuan nodded with satisfaction.

With Jiaorui's appearance now, anyone would believe her if she was said to be the head lady of someone's family.

Gu Qingyuan nodded with satisfaction and said to Sui Han: "If you go out and spread the word, say that Aunt Rui is dressed in a colorful way and is extraordinarily beautiful."

Sui Han nodded and immediately went down to prepare.

Jiaorui looked at Gu Qingyuan in confusion, wondering why she would do this.

Gu Qingyuan did not explain, just patted Jiaorui on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You will know in a moment."

Soon, a message came from outside, saying that the Duke of Guo was back.

Gu Qingyuan stood up and said to Jiaorui: "Manage your expression, it's time to watch the fun."

Just like that, the group of people walked out.

Outside the Duke's Mansion, Mrs. Chen was dressed particularly dignifiedly. She stood at the front, with everyone in the Duke's Mansion behind her.

Gu Qingyuan stood beside Chen. His gentle and generous look made Li Shichen's heart tremble. He thought, it would be better if Ye Yitang always looked like this.

In a short time, the Duke's carriage arrived.

Immediately afterwards, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and a thin and elegant man was seen stepping out of the carriage.

Afterwards, the people in this room bowed to the Duke.

The Duke of Guo's eyes swept over these people one by one, and finally fell on Chuntao, and then a flash of disgust flashed in his eyes: "Ms. Chen, who is the woman behind you? Why is she dressed so colorfully? So frivolous, simply It damages the face of our government!"
