Chapter 231 Notorious
Kyoto is very lively in mid-November.

Even the cold wind can't stop people's love of gossip.

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites offended the Minister of the Ministry of Rites for some reason, and even gave away all his family property to the Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

As a superior, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites was afraid of his subordinate Minister of Rites.

"The servant of the Ministry of Rites is the husband-in-law of the Duke's Mansion, so he is naturally tough." A man in the teahouse said with a sip of daughter red.

Someone put a mouthful of vegetables into their throats and said disapprovingly: "Master He's daughter is a noble concubine in the palace, so she must have a harder waist."

"You don't know?" Someone suddenly pulled a stool to this table and said, "Master He's eldest daughter is the Liu family's concubine."

"Shang Shu's daughter is a concubine?" Someone was surprised and put down his wine glass to listen carefully.

Someone at the next table also stretched his neck, listening to the person continue to say:

"Fifteen years ago, when Mr. He was not a minister of the Ministry of Rites, the eldest daughter of the He family entered the Liu Mansion with the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion as a dowry. It is said that Miss Xue is not in good health, and the Liu family has always been run by this little concubine He. Concubine He filled her own pocket and embezzled a lot of property from the Liu family to pave the way for the He family..."

The man casually picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip.

Someone urged and asked, "And then?"

"Has it been discovered? How much has been embezzled?"

The man put down the wine glass, glanced around with his eyes, stretched his neck one by one, waiting for the next sentence, and then continued:
"This Concubine He not only embezzled the property of the Liu family, but also moved Miss Xue's dowry. The eldest princess found out about this..."

The crowd took a breath.

No one knows the prestige of the eldest princess. Back then, the noble family was accused of treason and ransacked all over their families, but it is still vivid in their memory.

"What does Miss Xue's dowry have to do with the eldest princess?" Someone asked in confusion.

Someone beside him immediately explained: "Miss Xue and the eldest princess are good friends who grew up together, and their relationship is like sisters."

Someone hurriedly asked again: "After the eldest princess found out, she must have moved He Xiaoqie, right?"

The man clasped his hands together, and the people around immediately fell silent, and he said: "The eldest princess went directly to Liu's house and ordered He Xiaoqie to return the money with interest..."

Someone immediately asked, "Why would Xiao Concubine He be willing?"

"I swallowed it all, how can I spit it out?"

The man pretended to be mysterious and looked around at the people around him, then leaned forward again, and said in a low voice:
"You don't know about this. Concubine He has a guilty conscience. The eldest princess has made a conclusion. How dare she refuse to obey. If she does not obey, she will investigate the He family. Once the He family investigates, there will be many problems. Which is more important? Everyone understands that Concubine He can only accept her fate obediently, and Master He dare not say anything..."

"No wonder the He family is willing to give all of their property to the Liu family. It turns out it's to pay off the debt."

"Which of these officials is not a bit tricky, if this is really investigated, Mr. He may not even be able to keep his official position..."

"Maybe it will implicate that empress in the palace."

"That number is not small, this Concubine He is also a bit too courageous."

"Who says it's not, now the Liu family is in trouble."

……

While everyone was talking about it, the man quietly left the restaurant.

The story of He Xiaoqie's theft of Liu's property quickly spread.

Restaurants and teahouses were frantically discussing this matter.

What's more, he directly picked rotten vegetable leaves and threw them at the gate of He's house, saying that he could encourage his concubine's daughter to do such a dirty thing, and everyone was outraged.

He Anqing instantly became notorious in Kyoto.
