But she had no idea about her man's background or whether he had any friends in the capital, so how could she find out.

Mrs. Xiang stood at the door of the courtyard, a little confused and at a loss.

At this moment, a young couple walked by the roadside. They seemed to belong to a wealthy family. They were talking as they walked.

"Madam, when you get home soon, please don't talk nonsense. The elders don't ask or answer. When asked, they only say what needs to be said."

"Why?"

"Something went wrong at the palace banquet last night. The envoy from Anguo was driven away. As soon as the city gate was opened this morning, he was escorted back to Anguo by the emperor's personal guards."

"What's going on? Isn't it about a friendly marriage between the two countries?"

"What the hell, friends, they were all messed up by a woman named Qin Yue. The princess of Anguo didn't even see it. The party just broke up. It's really unlucky."

When Mrs. Xiang heard the word Qin Yue, she was excited. Why is she here again?

So I followed these two people quietly and listened quietly.

"How could a woman ruin the entire palace banquet when the emperor is not here?"

"Oh, I was made the eldest princess. She was very aggressive. She held a banquet, drove away the messenger, and killed two people."

"Oh my god, which two?"

The man said a few words in the woman's ear, and the woman immediately covered her mouth in shock.

"That's a first-class general from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and his wife has a royal title."

"So what, she can kill whenever she wants. It is said that her methods are very clever and she has done extraordinary harm. Although I have not seen it with my own eyes, what I said is probably true. Now the civil and military officials of the whole dynasty are staying at home and dare not go out. .”

"Why?"

The man suddenly smiled: "They all scolded the Princess Protector."

The woman was a little confused: "Why was she named the eldest princess?"

The man said to the sweater with emotion: "She played a role in the truce between the two countries. The increase in crop yields in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was due to the improved seeds she provided. I heard that road construction begins after the Chinese New Year, and there are checkpoints on the road. No money is collected from pedestrians, but from vehicles.”

"Hey, what roads need repairing?"

"I heard that it is stronger than the road paved with bluestone. It only takes a few days to reach the road in half a month. Cars can drive on it much faster than ordinary roads."

"Did you leave this job to our father?"

"It's necessary, he is the Minister of Industry."

"Isn't this a fat job?"

"You fat ass, with the emperor's personal guards supervising you, you will lose your head even if you are close to it. Even though the emperor is old, his sword is still ruthless."

"Where does the eldest princess live? Since we are out, let's go there and have a look?"

The man grinned, a little timidly: "That woman looks like a little sheep, but she is actually a tigress. She is so dangerous that I am a little scared."

"We're not messing with her, we're just passing by her door."

"No, you've been there anyway. It's Hara Zaifu's house. It's hers now."

"Yeah, that house is one of the best in the capital."

"Yes, the emperor ransacked the house and confiscated it. It should have been given to her."

The woman was stunned and suddenly thought of something: "The last time I entered the palace, my aunt told me that the emperor got many rare things, including the car that was passed down by the people in the capital."

"That car was this woman. She should have given it to the emperor and then changed it to that house."

"No, no, my aunt also said that the emperor and the queen seem to be taking some kind of medicine. They look much younger. I want that medicine too."

"You are so young, what are you doing eating that?"

"Give it to your parents-in-law, as well as my father and mother. Even if you don't give it, you still have that kind of medicine in your hand. You can exchange it for what you want."

"Then have you asked, what is the medicine?"

"It's not difficult. The day the Emperor and Queen got the medicine, they didn't hide it. I heard it was this woman."

"Yeah, if you say that, she really has a lot of tricks up her sleeve."

"You guys, you just can't accept that I am a village woman, and you don't think long and hard about it. A village woman is just a reason for me to hide my identity. Real masters, no matter how inconspicuous they are, can't be seen in the crowd." .”

"Yes, no matter what, the woman compared the dead two to chickens and us to monkeys, which makes her really angry."

"How dare you be angry in the face of strength?" "Oh, she is like a big mountain, weighing us down and making it hard for us to breathe."

"That's jealousy, that's jealousy"

The man looked at the woman carefully: "Your temper should be able to catch her eye. How about you find an opportunity to visit her with a gift? You are afraid of returning, but as long as you don't touch her bottom line, you should be fine." Problem?"

The woman giggled: "Look, what are you comparing to others? You are so scared. Just go. If you don't go back to your parents' house in the second year of junior high school, you will post a message and go to her house to see if she accepts the message."

"Yeah, let's not follow those stupid people. You are about the same age as her. It's best to hand it over in a handkerchief. If you open your mouth and want to buy a pill, won't you be able to get it?"

"You don't need to pay any money to hand over the handkerchief, just give it away."

"Haha, uh-huh, we didn't go there specifically for the medicine, we were just passing by."

Mrs. Xiang gritted her teeth as she listened behind her, "The former Prime Minister's Mansion?"

From the moment she learned about Qin Yue's arrival to the sudden disappearance of her man, she intuitively felt that this matter had something to do with Qin Yue.

So, I walked to the street corner, turned a corner, asked passers-by, and went to Qin's house.

When she arrived at the door and looked at the grand door, Xiang gritted her teeth. She didn't hate it, she was afraid. She was afraid that Qin Yue would be sent to prison for the New Year.

In the end, wanting to know about her man took over.

She pointed to the door: "Knock!"

After hearing this, the girl went to the door with her mouth shut, and gently pressed it with her hands. As a result, she didn't even push the door knocker.

So, with all the strength of feeding, the sound finally rang.

Early in the morning, Qin Yue changed her habit from previous years and slept in.

The door was opened by Zixuan's grandfather. He frowned when he saw two women, one old and one young.

"Who are you and who are you looking for?"

Mrs. Xiang took a deep breath: "Go and tell your master that Mr. Xiang wants to see you."

The old man looked her over, then gently closed the door, came to the main courtyard, and spoke softly in the courtyard.

"Master, there is someone outside who calls himself Xiang and wants to see you!"

Qin Yue was sleeping soundly. When she heard the name, she opened her eyes slightly and frowned dissatisfied.

"Bring her to the front hall!"

As soon as the person left, Shitou stood up and said, "You can sleep a little longer and I'll go take a look."

"No, let's go together. Her coming this time is not simple. It should be related to that bad old man."

"Do you want to tell the truth?"

"Huh, of course, but I won't take myself with me, let's go."

Qin Yue stood up, casually put her head on her hands, put on her shoes, Shitou tied her cloak for her, and they went to the front hall hand in hand.

Mrs. Xiang looked at the front hall, then thought about her own house, and suddenly felt bad.

When Qin and Yue arrived, she didn't even think about it and directly cut into the topic.

"I'm not here for money this time. You have a good reputation and know the officials of the imperial court. Can you help me find out about my man?"

Shitou snorted coldly: "How many numbers are you in now?"

"If others are not suitable, this one is suitable."

"Do you know that he is a spy of the enemy country and came to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to harm the people?"

Xiang's face changed drastically after hearing this: "How is that possible?"

"How is it impossible? The emperor's personal guards caught him at your house. Moreover, his face is so easy to look at. He is really an old man who is about to be buried."

Xiang collapsed on the ground: "No, it's impossible."

"Then let me ask you, what is his name, where does he live, and does he have any relatives or friends?"

"He didn't say that."

"Are you blinded by his few words? You have to know that the reason why he deliberately approached you is not because you are good, but because you are my mother and my wife's mother-in-law. He wants to understand through you My wife, or in other words, you are in his hands, if anything happens, it would be nice to have a hostage in his hands."
