Don't panic, my mother and I are dressed as Houfu mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!

Chapter 243 Little Daughter’s Thoughts

"Mother, why did you withdraw the soldiers who went to the Meng family? Are you going to send the man named Meng back as well?"

Xue Lan drank the soup slowly and rolled her eyes at him: "Why, do you really want to kill someone?"

Now that Youyou has come back, she can't continue to hold her captive, otherwise the emperor will not be able to justify her.

Gu Qingyou looked at his mother with shocked pupils: "Did you arrest Meng Yan??"

"More than that~~"

Song Chengye looked at her proudly and was about to describe how Meng Yan was detained and how he was tortured every day. Xue Lan interrupted him speechlessly and said, "It's nothing but keeping Mr. Meng here." I’m just staying here for a few days to help find you.”

Song Chengye shut up in anger. His original intention was to tell Gu Qingyou how much the Duke's government cared about her and gain some favor by the way, but he forgot that some things should not be discussed on the table.

Although he hadn't finished speaking, how could Gu Qingyou not know that his mother was tough and tough? It was hateful that Meng Yan sent people to kidnap her, but it was too risky for her to arrest someone blatantly.

Xue Lan received her daughter's puppy-like tearful eyes. She wanted to laugh but felt sad at the same time. She patted her hand and said, "You don't have to think too much. Since I dare to do this, I have my own plan. Then Meng Yan just brought the blame on himself." , Keeping him alive is already an advantage for him!"

As soon as Youyou came back today, she had already ordered someone to send Meng Yan back to the Meng family.

Just at noon, she had just received news from the palace that Concubine Meng had lost her temper and injured a palace attendant. She had been scolded by the emperor for being too arrogant and had been grounded for half a month again.

In the imperial study room, he praised the eldest prince, the current prince, for being virtuous, sensitive, benevolent and honest, and a role model for all the princes and princesses to follow.

Compared with the joy in the Queen's Palace, Concubine Meng dropped all the porcelain in the room.

Xue Lan knew that the eye drops she gave in front of the emperor had taken effect.

As for Meng Yan, as long as he is still breathing, the emperor will probably turn a blind eye.

It turned out that her guess was right.

After Gu Qingyou came back, except for Song Hengye who had not returned from the palace for a few days, everyone else was quiet. He thought that Meng Yan was sent back half-dead and the Meng family would come to make a fuss, but it turned out that no one was there for a long time. Come to the door, but the door has been closed since then.

Gu Qingyou and Xue Lan were eating iced grapes together and couldn't help but smash their mouths: "It seems that the Meng family is not too stupid, but speaking of it, the emperor is also a real dog. Since he has established a prince, he should train him well. We have to let the east wind prevail against the west wind, for what purpose?”

Xue Lan shook his head: "As long as it doesn't harm us, he can do whatever he wants."

However, after this incident, Gu Qingyou became quite interested in the prince he had never met before. Hearing that the Meng family lost power, many princelings took the opportunity to participate in a book, intending to let the emperor drive the second prince to the fiefdom. Completely eliminate future troubles.

But the prince not only did not add fuel to the fire, but instead rejected those people's proposals on the spot, and also said a lot of good things for the second prince in front of the emperor, so he was worthy enough to keep them.

But think about it, with such a suspicious father, if you are not careful, no one can guarantee who will sit in that chair in the end.

Besides, the emperor is more clever than a lotus root. Who knows if he is deliberately showing off to the prince. Even if he keeps the second prince in the end, there is no guarantee that he is just following the trend. Otherwise, if he really sends the second prince away, the prince will no longer have any presence in the court. Once the opponent's ambition grows, it will be difficult to control him later. The government was unstable and Gu Qingyou couldn't control it. What she could do was to make more money with her mother while the world was not in chaos.

Taking stock of the store in his hand, Xue Lan did not forget to send someone to take care of it during her absence. The income increased instead of decreasing. Xue Lan originally wanted to strike while the iron was hot and let her open more branches. Gu Qingyou thought about it. , still refused.

"Not to mention that the border is about to be stirred up now, let's talk about the second prince. After this incident, there is no guarantee that he will not jump over the wall. Once the battle for the throne becomes fierce, a palace coup is also possible."

Gu Qingyou fiddled with the abacus in her hand. In just a few months, she already had hundreds of thousands of taels of cash that could be flexibly turned around.

In addition to the income from the tea shop, the profit from the handicraft workshop is astonishing. Orders with a unit price of more than a thousand taels have already been scheduled until August next year.

"Shuang'er, go and see if the steps are empty and ask him to come over."

Since Gu Qingyou came back, Xue Lan directly asked her to stay in the Duke's Mansion, so as not to be watched by unscrupulous people outside.

It started to rain lightly in the morning, and the wind was rare. Shuangjiang moved the embroidery pier and was embroidering a handkerchief at the door. When he saw her suddenly approaching, he blushed and hid the handkerchief behind his back, and said with a murmur: "Yes. It’s the same thing for a slave to do anything. What does the young lady want to do with him?”

Gu Qingyou had already caught a glimpse of a pair of vivid mandarin ducks embroidered on the handkerchief. Seeing her coquettish appearance, he wanted to tease her, so he deliberately sighed and said, "Hey, the second young master mentioned it to me a few days ago. He is quite young, but there is no one around him who knows how to live well, so he asked me to make arrangements for him to find a wife. "

She paused deliberately as she spoke, and as expected she saw that the little girl's face was red with embarrassment, and then continued: "But I have to ask Bukai first, what kind of woman do you like? It's better for someone to find her, isn't it?"

Shuang Sheng made a gesture and spat: "With a reckless man like him, no girl would like him!"

Gu Qingyou nodded matter-of-factly: "That's right. She looks like a pimple on an elm tree. It seems like we need to find a smart girl so that we can complement each other."

As she spoke, she stretched and walked out: "By the way, I remember that Mrs. Fan in the kitchen seems to have a daughter named Xiaoyu. I have seen her a few times and thought she was very clever. She should be good at filling out the rationing steps."

"do not want!"

"Ah? Why not?"

Gu Qingyou turned around and saw Shuang Jiang suppressing a blush on her face, but holding her sleeves tightly with her hands. She shrieked for a long time before saying, "That Xiaoyu loves petty gains, and his eyes are always looking around. She often deprived us of food before, and not only that, she also~~"

What she meant by us was Song Chengye's other aunts. Now, except for Yang who went to help in the handicraft workshop, all of them have been dismissed.

Although the little girl gossiped a lot on weekdays, she never took the initiative to speak ill of others. Seeing that she was serious, Gu Qingyou followed her words and said, "What's wrong with her? Is she stealing something?"

Shuangjiang shook his head, approached her and lowered his voice: "She wanted to climb into the prince's bed before, but the prince thought she was ugly and ridiculed her. If her mother hadn't been in charge of the kitchen, she would have been too embarrassed to stay here. Go down."

Gu Qingyou laughed out loud: "I've seen her twice, and she looks pretty, too, isn't she?"

Shuang Jiang became anxious: "Miss, isn't this the point? The point is that she has a bad intention. How can she give in to Brother Chu to marry such a person?"
