Chapter 208 Temporary concession

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Jinshuang immediately felt something was inappropriate.

He quickly covered his mouth pretending to be panicked,
"How could it be possible? How could the heir of the dignified Marquis family be lost?"

As if seeking comfort, he grabbed Sheng Hong's hand and said fearfully:

"Harang Lang! When did the public security in Bianjing City become like this? Even the heirs of the Lord's family got into trouble!"

As soon as Sheng Hong saw Lin Zinshuang in such panic, he put his hand on Lin Zinshuang's hand, patted it twice gently, and said comfortingly:

"Shuang'er, don't be afraid! The public security in Bianjing City is good. The Gu Er family's children were not lost outside. It is said that his aunt named Zhu Maniang took them out of the house, so they disappeared! "

"I see!"

Lin Jinshuang patted her chest lightly as if she was relaxed. Then she thought of Zhu Manniang's humiliation to Mo Lan, and immediately raised her eyebrows in disdain and said:
"That woman is indeed not a good person. Last time she came to our house and made trouble without reason, Shuang'er saw it!"

Hearing Lin Jinshuang mention this matter, Sheng Hong felt a little uncomfortable, so he changed the subject and said:
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this! Don't look for trouble during this period of time, and don't anger Madam! After all, if Mo'er's affairs are to be successful, Madam must run through it!"

Queen Cao glanced at the two of them and then said:

Minglan will probably be disappointed.
Xu Wenhui really doesn’t have time at the moment.
He is currently in the Funing Hall of the imperial palace!

When I first heard the false rumors about Gu Tingye and Mo Lan,

Today I called Xu Wenhui and King Yong over for questioning.
I saw Queen Cao sitting high on the throne at the top.
King Yong and Xu Wenhui sat opposite each other below!

Lin Jinshuang nodded obediently and agreed when she heard the words, but she also knew that she had completely offended Wang Ruofu a long time ago. Even if she was convinced now, Wang Ruofu would not take care of it for Mo Lan. It would probably depend on Sheng Sheng. Hong, so he lay on Sheng Hong in a pitiful manner,
"Harang Lang...you should help Mo'er to persuade the lady..."

……

Minglan didn't take it seriously at first, after all, rumors were just rumors and they couldn't be true!
But I didn't expect that the Yu family would actually take the initiative to cancel the engagement.
Of course, strictly speaking, it cannot be said to be a divorce.
After all, Gu Tingye and Yu Yanran haven't officially gotten engaged yet. It can only be said that they originally had that intention, but now they are completely done with it!
But this surprised Minglan!
So at noon, regardless of the heat, I wanted to come to Yu's house to find Yu Yanran and ask what was going on!
Unexpectedly, he missed it, and the concierge's servant said that Yu Yanran was not at home!
The old lady who wanted to visit the Yu family again was not there either!

After thinking about it for a while, Minglan still felt that there was something going on here, and she felt a little unwilling.

Minglan couldn't help but walked out suspiciously. Could something really have happened? Could it be that Sister Yanran is hiding from me?
Seeing this, Xiao Tao on the side quickly picked up a parasol and came over to put it on Minglan.

"Girl, isn't Miss Yu at home? Should we go home directly or go somewhere?"

……

Hongmei pondered for a moment and said:
"Miss Qizhen, I can help you contact the young master, but I don't know if the young master has time today!"

His conflict with the Yong family was noticed by Ouchi!
Although Emperor Zhao Zhen was recuperating and could not govern, Empress Cao was still a little unhappy when she found out.

When Hongxing heard this, she looked directly at Hongmei. Among the several maids, Hongmei was the leader!

"As long as I can contact you, then I'll trouble you!"

So he looked at them and smiled:

Minglan nodded and smiled when she heard this:

"Hongmei, Hongxing! You two are girls from the Hou Mansion. You should be able to contact your cousin. I want to meet him today. Is that okay?"

Suddenly seeing the two maids behind Xiaotao, his eyes lit up.
He was not well-informed in the Sheng family courtyard. Xu Wenhui might know something.

Let me explain Lan again,

"This...oh...okay! Okay!"

"Tell me, what is going on? Is there some deep hatred? Is it worth getting both of you angry?"

"Tell me, you are a dignified prince, and you are a general guarding the palace. How can this be spread out?"

King Yong still dare not neglect Queen Cao,

First of all, King Yong's current position is not very stable, and Queen Cao has a great influence on the official family! Be one of the decision makers capable of deciding that position!

Secondly, Queen Cao has been the mother of the world for so many years, her power is not weak, and her dignity is prudent!
In short, King Yong still wants to ask for help from Queen Cao.
So when Queen Cao said this, King Yong immediately stood up and bowed respectfully.
"My queen, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down! It's all my nephew's fault!"

Xu Wenhui also stood up and saluted at the same time.

"My Majesty, please calm down! I was young and reckless, and I disturbed your Majesty! Please forgive me!"

After saying that, he remained silent, as if waiting for Queen Cao's decision!
Queen Cao looked at Xu Wenhui a little surprised when she saw this,
It’s not surprising that King Yong admitted his mistake directly. After all, King Yong is seeking stability in everything now. Why did Xu Wenhui also admit his mistake directly?
According to her thoughts, Xu Wenhui might take the opportunity to attack King Yong, so as to influence King Yong to inherit the throne!

Even King Yong also glanced at Xu Wenhui strangely. He had the same idea as Queen Cao, and he also thought that Xu Wenhui would take the opportunity to cause trouble!
Before he came, he asked his staff to prepare a draft. Unexpectedly, Xu Wenhui said nothing more after saying "young and reckless". He was not used to it!

Xu Wenhui noticed the surprise of the two and had no reaction. After all, in his heart, whether King Yong ascended the throne or not was not too important.

In addition, after discovering the relationship between King Yan and Rongxian, it will not be easy for King Yong to successfully ascend the throne!
So he just took advantage of the situation and stopped doing this! Get ready to hide behind!
It’s not too late to wait until King Yong and King Yan reach the critical moment to take action!

Empress Cao didn't know what Xu Wenhui was thinking, and thought Xu Wenhui was doing this to respect her.

I couldn't help but feel a little satisfied, and nodded slightly to Xu Wenhui!
Queen Cao looked at King Yong again, frowned slightly and said:
"King Yong, you should think carefully before doing something!

Xu Aiqing is the pillar of the country and has made great contributions to our Zhao family by safeguarding it! For those who have contributed to my Zhao family, you must show three points of respect! "

Queen Cao was not very satisfied with some of King Yong's actions, so she somewhat wanted to use Xu Wenhui to beat King Yong!
"What I taught you is that my nephew understands!"

King Yong also understood this, and nodded in agreement after hearing this. Anyway, according to his idea, as long as he can successfully ascend the throne, all these things are nothing!
Moreover, he was so suppressed by Xu Wenhui's shadow that it was quite troublesome to do some things now. He also wanted to reconcile with Xu Wenhui as soon as possible and did not want to have these unnecessary entanglements!
So after finishing speaking, King Yong stood up again and saluted Xu Wenhui sincerely: "General Xu, it's all Xiao Wang who is reckless..."

In front of Queen Cao, Xu Wenhui couldn't accept the courtesy carelessly. After all, where is the status of King Yong?
So Xu Wenhui also quickly took a step away and saluted with the same sincerity on his face.
"Your Majesty is joking. I have no problem with this matter. I hope your Majesty Wang Han will not argue with me!"

"General Xu really shames me for saying this!"

"Hey, I should be the one who is ashamed. It's because I'm young and ignorant, that's why we've made such a fuss!"

Queen Cao's expression softened a lot when she saw the two of them being so humble to each other. She nodded slightly and said:
"Now that you have all realized your mistake, I think this matter can be settled. You two should not have any more conflicts in private. Otherwise, if the Ai family finds out, it will no longer be something that can be discussed in a few words!"

Seeing the two people nodding in agreement, Queen Cao smiled again and said:

"You two also caught up today. Dali sent some fruits and delicacies as a tribute, and you all just happened to stay to try them!"

After saying that, he ordered the internal officials to go and prepare.
Obviously he wanted to keep King Yong and Xu Wenhui to eat together!
Xu Wenhui somewhat understood what Empress Cao meant, which was to put everyone before the small family!

It can be said that the conflict between him and King Yong was resolved for the sake of the stability of the country's order, but now leaving Shi En is more or less for her own sake and the Cao family!
After all, Zhao Zhen doesn't have many days left, and Empress Cao also has to think about the future!

Therefore, in line with the opportunity of not giving away favors, Xu Wenhui smiled and said:
"Mother, why don't you also call Master Cao who is on duty? Wei Chen and Master Cao are in the Military Department together. If I eat and drink here, Master Cao doesn't. Maybe after Wei Chen goes back, Master Cao will complain Where is Wei Chen!”

"He dares! I rebelled against him!" Although her words were very harsh, Queen Cao's face was very happy. How could she not know that Xu Wenhui meant to get close to the Cao family!
King Yong, an old boy, was not slow to react. When he saw the situation, he immediately agreed:

"Yes, empress, you'd better ask Mr. Cao to come with us. It's going to be lively when there are so many people here!"

As he finished speaking, King Yong glanced at Xu Wenhui with his peripheral vision.
He thought to himself, this little bastard didn't realize it. He thought he was a reckless man when he yelled at my family to kill him. I didn't expect him to be so clever. He didn't even think of Cao Guozhang!

When Queen Cao saw both of them saying this, she nodded pretending to be thoughtful.

"Forget it, for the sake of you two, let that kid take advantage of it!"

With that said, he sent someone to notify Cao Guozhang again!
……

Near Yongyi Houfu,

Minglan soon got the news that Xu Wenhui had entered the palace.

I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed,
I can only go home first and ask questions later!

Minglan was a little listless on the way.

However, Xiaotao is still quite energetic and rarely comes out.
From time to time, she would open the door curtain, look at the scenery outside, and then chatter to Minglan!
Minglan listened indifferently, still wondering what was wrong in it!

Suddenly, Xiao Tao seemed to have seen something strange. She pulled Minglan and pointed in a direction outside and said:
"Hey, look, girl, look, girl, aren't those Aunt Kang and Miss Yoona?"

When Minglan heard Xiaotao's movement, she couldn't help but poked her head and looked over. She was also surprised when she saw it.

Those two people are indeed Aunt Kang and Kang Yuner,
However, the two of them were walking a little strangely, and they actually entered the corner door of a house!

Looking through the courtyard wall, I can see that there are countless pavilions and pavilions in that house. It must be a big family.
Why do my aunt and the others seem to be a little secretive when they come to visit? Is there something that makes it inconvenient to go through the side door?
"Xiao Tao, do you know which family this is?"

Hearing this, Xiao Tao looked around and shook his head.

"This area belongs to either a noble or a noble family, probably from a wealthy family!"

However, Hongmei, who had been sitting aside without speaking, interrupted:
"Girl, that's the Gu family of Ningyuan Marquis!"

Hongmei is an elite in the shadows, so she naturally knows the position of the big families in Bianjing City.

Without even looking, she just calculated the distance from Xu's house in her mind, and Hongmei could accurately tell the location!

"What, the Gu family? Do you think this is the Gu family?" Minglan was very surprised when she heard this, and couldn't help but look at the mansion carefully.
She really didn't know that the mansion in front of her was the Gu family's mansion. They didn't pass by the door just now, so they didn't notice it!
Thinking about it, since this is the Gu family, what is the purpose of the aunt bringing her cousin to the house at this time? Could it be that she heard that the marriage between the Gu family and the Yu family was dirty, so she came to interfere with it?
Then you shouldn't bring your cousin with you. How can you bring a girl directly to your door?

Minglan was still deep in thought, so Xiaotao moved her buttocks and sat next to Hongmei. She followed Hongmei's line of sight and looked outside. She was surprised when she saw that she couldn't see anything outside.

Looking carefully at the top and bottom of Hongmei, he asked in surprise:
"Sister Hongmei, you didn't even go over to take a look. How did you know this place belongs to the Gu family?" He then said mysteriously:

"Do you have some kind of clairvoyance? Can you see even if you are blocked? Hey, can you teach me? I want to learn too!"

How could Hongmei reply to such a boring topic as Xiao Tao? She just closed her eyes and rested, not talking!
Xiaotao, however, was very lackluster and kept asking curiously.

"Oh, sister Hongmei, just tell me. Can't I treat you to something delicious when I get home at night?"

"If one meal is not enough, how about two meals?"

"Three meals at most. We are sisters in the same courtyard. Any more would be too much!"

Minglan was still thinking about the reason why Aunt Kang brought her cousin to Gu's house, but her thoughts were interrupted by Xiao Tao's voice.

When he turned around and saw Xiaotao still pestering Hongmei, he smiled angrily and said:

"Okay, Xiao Tao, can you please be quiet? You are really energetic in this hot day!"

"Hongmei, Xiaotao is like this, you don't want to be like her!"

Minglan vaguely knew the identities of Hongmei and others. When Xu Wenhui sent someone to send the maids over, he specifically emphasized that Hongmei and others were different from the other maids. They did not do chores and only served her personally!
So just now she wanted to contact Xu Wenhui and asked Hongmei and others immediately!
