Xie Qiao freshened up and went to see Duke Fu.

After Fu Guogong finished writing the memorial, he looked at Xie Qiao who was sitting beside him, and saw that she looked happy and did not feel impatient for ignoring her.

Seeing her so calm, her frown relaxed.Thinking of the conversation between Rong Yan and her maidservant, she said in a deep voice, "You went to the county prince's mansion in the past two days to treat the princess' illness?"

"Yes." Xie Qiao answered frankly.

Fu Guogong looked calm, and smiled slightly: "You can cure the Princess's illness, why can't your grandmother's illness be cured?"

"Is there a reason why you must treat her?" Xie Qiao asked back.

Duke Fu choked.

"You take me back to the mansion because you don't let go of any hope that the Fuguo Duke's mansion can return to court, and I follow you back to the mansion just to seek an asylum."

Get what you need!

Duke Fu's eyebrows twitched: "Aren't you afraid that I will abandon you?"

Xie Qiao said calmly: "Back then, I could grow up if I was abandoned. Now that I have passed the age where I am most likely to be victimized, why should I be afraid?" After a pause, his cold eyes were filled with a smile: "And you can't do this !"

It's not that I can't, but I can't!

As soon as Xie Qiao said this, the already quiet study suddenly became dead silent, only the breathing of the two of them remained.

When Duke Fu heard her so arrogant, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he didn't take it seriously at all.

Xie Qiao said with a smile: "Fuguo's mansion is declining day by day, and we can see it early. At the beginning, all families of Zhen Guo's mansion were beheaded, but the nine clans were not involved. Lin Shangshu, who had a close relationship with Zhen Guo's mansion, was also beheaded. Didn't you If you study carefully, what is the difference between the Zhen Guo Gongfu and the Minister of the Ministry of War?"

the difference?

Duke Fu fell into deep thought, and suddenly raised his head to look at Xie Qiao.

The emperor was extremely tolerant towards Li, and the crime was worse than a married daughter.And Lin Shangshu's in-laws are all implicated!

Thinking of this, Duke Fu was stunned, but his face became even more ugly.

Back then, he was like a brother with Lord Zhen Guo and the first emperor, and they had very close contacts.The current emperor worships Lord Zhen Guo as his teacher to practice martial arts, and often visits Duke Zhen's mansion.

At that time, the crown prince had not yet been established, and the late emperor's health became increasingly weak.Lord Zhen Guo was loyal to the former emperor, so he was considered to be the current emperor's faction. When he proposed marriage, he married his only daughter to Rong Que.

And he secretly supported the emperor in order to seek a future for the government of Fuguo.Therefore, when the emperor ascended the throne, Fuguo's mansion was in full swing.

When did it gradually fade out of the court and the power was divided?

Li's sudden death——

Xie Qiao looked at Duke Fu with a gloomy face, and said meaningfully: "You are a sensible person."

The reason why she confessed to Duke Fu was because Prince Xie could only serve as an opportunity for her to enter the mansion, and it could not make her gain a firm foothold in the mansion in the future.Looking at the Fuguo government, there are no suitable allies.And the ambitious Fuguo Duke, who doesn't stick to the back house, wants to revitalize the Fuguo Duke's mansion, so he is the best ally.

And if she wants him to treat him differently, she must let him see her own value!
After Xie Qiao left, Duke Fu did not leave the study for a long time.

……

On the way back to the courtyard, Xie Qiao was invited to the Peony Courtyard by Nanny Liu.

Rong Que and the eldest lady were sitting at the table planning to eat, when seeing Xie Qiao approaching, the eldest lady pointed to the vacant seat opposite and said: "It's a coincidence, sit down."

Rong Que didn't lift his eyes.

The eldest lady pushed him secretly, and said with a smile on her face: "People are here, eat quickly, it's not good if the food is cold."

Rong Que put down his chopsticks: "Where's Yan'er?"

The eldest lady looked at Liu Nanny, and Liu Nanny glanced at Xie Qiao, and said carefully: "Eldest Miss and Miss Xie returned home from outside and fell ill on the bed. I asked the doctor to look at it and said that they were frightened."

The lady's face changed suddenly, and she said worriedly: "Is it serious?"

Rong Que held the Da Furen's hand and comforted him: "If you are worried, hand over the sign and enter the palace to invite the imperial physician." He looked at Xie Qiao with a cold gaze. He was already disliked by her, but hearing that Rong Yan fell ill because of her, I was even more disgusted in my heart: "You took Yan'er out, how could she be frightened?"

"She angered Prince Xie." Xie Qiao sneered in his heart, and understood why the eldest lady called her to eat.

It turned out to be a Hongmen Banquet!

Rong Que questioned: "Yan'er is still young, don't you know something about her?"

Xie Qiao remained silent, with deep sarcasm in his eyes.

Seeing that Rong Que was angry, the eldest lady immediately pressed the wet corners of her eyes, and spoke for Xie Qiao: "Master, it's not Xie's fault...Rong Hua, I only blame Yan'er for being ignorant."

The more tolerant the eldest lady was, the less Rong Que wanted to see Xie Qiao.Ever since she returned to the mansion, there has been no peace in the mansion.Concerned about Rong Yan's condition, she became more and more unkind to her: "Since you want to be the eldest lady of Fuguo Duke's Mansion, you have to take responsibility. That's fine, you go back!"

After hearing Rong Que's words, the Da Furen's face was a little embarrassing, and she hurriedly said: "Rong Hua hasn't eaten yet, and Yan'er looked at the doctor, so I can't delay a meal." After finishing speaking, she took Xie Qiao's hand, let her sit down.

Looking at Xie Qiao's face, Rong Que felt disgusted, how could he eat it?Immediately got up and was about to leave, but saw Gui Zhi rushing in, knelt on the ground and said: "Ma'am, this servant found the jade hairpin that Eldest Miss lost, and there is also a golden step shaker."

Nanny Liu handed the jade hairpin and Jin Buyao to the eldest lady, and the eldest lady looked at it, her face suddenly sank: "Where did you find it?"

Gui Zhi raised his head and saw Xie Qiao opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

"Madam asked you something, hurry up and say it!" Nanny Liu scolded.

Guizhi trembled all over, and said in a creaking voice: "In...in Miss Xie's room..."

The eldest lady looked at Xie Qiao sharply.

Xie Qiao looked as usual, and said calmly, "I picked up this jade hairpin, and I don't know who lost it. The birth date engraved on it is not sister Yan'er's, and I don't want to look for the owner with great fanfare." , it’s unavoidable to reveal the birth date of the girl’s family.”

The Da Furen held the jade hairpin tightly with her fingers, a haze flashed in her eyes.She just heard that someone came to report that Xie Qiao stole Rong Yan's golden step, but she didn't know that the jade hairpin was also in her hands.

Rong Que suddenly looked at Xie Qiao, and then at the jade hairpin in the lady's hand, his complexion changed a few times.

"Does the golden step belong to sister Yan'er? Why do I look the same as the golden step my mother wore when she was alive?" Xie Qiao looked at the eldest lady calmly with a pair of eyes, and asked in bewilderment.

Da Furen's heart trembled, she gritted her teeth and said, "How could it be your mother? You were still young..."

Xie Qiao interrupted her and said, "I'm also afraid of misunderstanding, so I asked Mingxiu to ask the old lady to let her identify it. After all, this golden step is my mother's dowry, and others will misidentify it, but the old lady certainly won't."

The eldest lady pursed her lips tightly, with a cold expression on her face.Just as she was about to open her mouth to block Xie Qiao back, she saw Cao Mama rushing towards Zhu Shi with her support.
