Chapter 41 Fire at the city gate and Chiyu
The fire at the city gate affected Chiyu.

If Qu Chengye could solve this matter here, there would be no need to go to the palace to face the saint.

Thinking of this, the old lady asked someone to bring Qu Chengye into the mansion.

The remaining men in black were brought into the mansion together.

"Second Young Master Qu has never been a person who avenges private revenge. You always know what to do and what not to do." The old lady teased deliberately.

Qu Chengye was not deeply affected, and still insisted on his own opinion.

"Thank you for your praise, old lady, but the purpose of my coming here today is very simple, that is, to ask the mansion for someone."

"Who?" The old lady knew it well, but she pretended not to understand anything.

"Old Madam, why pretend to be confused with me. You should know who I am looking for this time." Qu Chengye deliberately went around in circles with the person in front of him.

The old lady shook her head, resting her head on her hands, looking very tired.

"I'm getting older day by day now, and I often forget some things. I really don't know who you are referring to about the things Qu Ershao mentioned. Why don't you just open the skylight and speak plainly."

Qu Chengye didn't continue to circle around, and replied seriously, "Xiao Yinger, I want to see her."

The old lady picked up the teacup to drink tea, and said calmly, "Xiao Yinger went out with the Seventh Prince a few days ago, and she hasn't come back yet."

"Do all of you in Baixiang's Mansion know about this?" Qu Chengye asked relentlessly.

The old lady nodded slightly, "Well, at first only a few people knew about it, but later on who leaked the news, everyone in the mansion already knew about it."

The old lady paused while drinking tea, not understanding why the other party was suddenly so interested in this matter.

"Why do you ask that?"

"May the old lady tell me who the first person to know is?" Qu Chengye asked without answering.

"It should be Wen Shi. She also passed this matter on to me. However, Wen Shi has always been gentle and doesn't like to talk right and wrong." The old lady had a good impression of Wen Qianqian.

Qu Chengye heard the defense in her words, and exposed it unceremoniously, "If Wen Qianqian is really not a gossip, why would she tell you about this?"

"I am the hostess of this family. As my daughter-in-law, there is nothing wrong with her telling me these things. Why, it's okay to whisper between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?"

The old lady didn't realize which step was wrong, she still stood by Wen Qianqian and spoke for her.

"Has the old lady ever thought that she can tell this matter to you or to others? If you didn't reveal it after you heard about it, someone must have leaked it out."

The old lady paused while holding the teacup, as if she was meditating on this matter.

Qu Chengye did not continue to persuade on this matter, pointing to the men in black kneeling on the ground, he motioned, "These men were all ordered by Mrs. Wang next to Da Furen to assassinate Yinger and the Seventh Prince. The purpose is to help Bai Chuzhi cleared away the obstacles that shouldn't be there, and even welcomed him back home."

The old lady was still thinking about luck, but the last sentence made her seriously reflect on Wen Qianqian's actions.

Moreover, Wen Qianqian came to the door today and asked her to go to Qu Guogong's mansion to pick up Bai Chuzhi.

Is it a coincidence, or is there an ulterior motive?
"No, these are just your guesses. The matter is not like this at all. Your Duke Quguo's mansion has always harbored evil intentions towards Mrs. Wen, and you only want to pull her down from the position of Mrs. Baixiang's mansion, so as to save her. Your eldest sister, Qu Ru'er, took revenge."

Every word the old lady said stepped on Qu Chengye's sore spot.

It is true that the Qu family all want revenge, but they are also rational and cannot let the seeds of hatred take root in their hearts.

Especially now that Xiao Ying'er is back, their focus is on Xiao Ying'er.

As long as the people in Baixiangfu are obedient, they don't have to pursue the previous matter.

But obviously, some people in the White Prime Minister's Mansion are not fuel-efficient at all, and will not compromise easily.

That being the case, the Qu family will not spoil them.

"This matter is due to the old lady's prejudice against the people in our Duke Quguo's mansion, not our prejudice against you, or that sentence, since the old lady is not satisfied with this, I can send these people to the Ministry of Punishment, and let the servant of the Ministry of Punishment be serious about it. interrogation, and finally, give Da Furen a satisfactory answer."

Qu Chengye stood up directly, unwilling to stay here any longer.

The old lady still felt that people in Baixiangfu would not make such low-level mistakes, but she was unwilling to give in.

"Since Second Young Master Qu had the answer early on, why bother to deliberately bring someone to our White Prime Minister's Mansion? Are you deliberately making me unhappy?"

"If I say yes, what can you do, old lady?" Qu Chengye deliberately asked back, every sentence was full of temptation.

The old lady sighed helplessly, this matter needs to be decided by Prime Minister Bai.

If she really angered the people of the Qu family, the consequence would definitely be to let some people from their Baixiangfu go out to wipe their butts.

The old lady pondered for a moment before she made some decisions.

"This incident happened too urgently. I didn't have any preparations for a while, so it's better like this. Give us three days, and I will definitely ask some people in Baixiang's mansion clearly, and give you Qu family an explanation. "

Qu Chengye was not satisfied with this statement, and raised a finger, "Three days is too long, I will only give you one day, and I will come to listen to the old lady's answer in the morning of the next day."

"Second Young Master Qu, don't bully others too much."

"If the old lady is dissatisfied, you don't need to do this matter yourself. As long as these men in black are sent to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, someone will take over." Qu Chengye pressed every step of the way.

The old lady had no choice but to temporarily agree, "Okay, one day is one day."

"Thank you, Madam, for taking the time to investigate this matter. I hope you won't let me down." Qu Chengye took his men and left.

The old lady was trembling with anger, and the teacup in her hand was forcefully dropped on the table.

"The juniors of the Qu family are stronger than each other. At the beginning, I was really mistaken, and I married the Qu family. Now that I think about it, I feel disgusting." The old lady was full of disgust.

Cui'er persuaded from the side, "Madam, your body is important, please don't hurt your body because of this matter."

The old lady closed her eyes and digested it well.

Immediately she stood up and motioned, "Go, go to Wen's side to see, isn't her body healed yet?"

The old lady now has deep doubts about what Wen Qianqian said. When people from the Qu family came to the door, Wen Qianqian deliberately used the wind-cold disease as an excuse for not wanting to meet.

Is it true that she is not fully recovered, or is she too guilty to dare to meet?
