"Master, relax, nothing will happen." Nianxiang changed the incense for Qiao Guxin, hoping to make her feel more stable.

Qiao Guxin sat sideways on a chair, picked up the fan given to her by Qiao Wenzhi, and shook it gently, "Yeah, what could happen?"

Then he chuckled, what are he afraid of?

I don't know if the people my uncle sent to the city got what they wanted.

"Big sister, big sister." After a while, the rosary came back and said that it was confirmed that the things had been delivered to the Chu family. As soon as they finished speaking, they saw Qiao Wenbing rushing in without reporting anything.

He opened the curtain and came in.

"It's becoming more and more unruly!" Qiao Guxin slammed the fan on the chair and scolded him with a cold eyebrow!

Because Qiao Wenbing walked in such a hurry, his face was covered with sweat. He wiped it casually at this moment, and quickly leaned over to edit, "Big sister, calm down."

Qiao Guxin frowned and looked at Qiao Wenbian up and down, looking at him. Maybe he was walking too hastily and his heels were pressed under his feet. He was not as gentle and steady as a scholar should be. He raised his hand and stepped back, "You are like this now."

Are you going to break the jar?"

When he saw that everyone on the left and right had left, Qiao Wenbing didn't care about anything else and knelt down with a plop, "Sister, help me."

It was a child after all, he was crying out because he was so anxious.

Qiao Guxin let out a long sigh, "That's it, get up and answer."

He raised his hand and put the fan aside, signaling him to sit down.

After Qiao Wenbing stood up, he did not dare to sit down and kept his head lowered. "Sister, the people from Dali Temple are here. Are they here to arrest me?"

"What did you do again? Why did the people from Dali Temple come to arrest you?" Qiao Gu raised his head in fear, wondering what Qiao Wenbing was up to.

Qiao Wenbing waved his hands repeatedly, "Don't worry, eldest sister, I've been staying at the house these days and haven't gone out."

But he was not at peace with anything, so he asked people to inquire. Who knew that something had happened to the son of the right servant of the Ministry of Justice who often went to gambling houses, and the Ministry of Justice would definitely investigate. Naturally, he was afraid of being found out.

As for the money, he didn't have that much for a while. Even if he wanted to take out the gift he had from his father and mother, whether it was enough or not, it would still take time and let him deal with it slowly.

My aunt will definitely be worried if she finds out.

Qiao Wenbing knelt down again as he spoke, "Sister, I really realized my mistake. I was also confused for a moment. I just wanted to gain experience, but I don't know what happened. I always wanted to win, and I fell deeper and deeper into it."

There are certainly ways to make money in gambling houses, especially for people who are inexperienced in the world. You originally wanted to go up and try a few games, but you can actually win money with these two games. Most people must think it is good luck.

, I will play a few games if I feel itchy.

But in the end, there will be wins and losses, and in the end, there will be only losses but no wins.

Not to mention children like them, even mature and steady people may not be able to escape unscathed from gambling.

Seeing that Qiao Guxin was silent, Qiao Wenbing begged for mercy again and again. He had already vaguely guessed why Ning Shunhou had been so calm these past two days. If his troubles came out at this time, he might use his reputation to gain righteousness.

.

Before the arrival of the actor, the Marquis's residence had always been smooth, not because the people in the inner house were all very enlightened, but because Marquis Ningshun did not favor anyone, and no one could challenge his wife's status.

Now that the balance has tipped, everyone is in danger.

"How many people came to Dali Temple?" Qiao Guxin thought for a moment before asking.

As long as Qiao Guxin opened his mouth, he would take care of it. Qiao Wenbing hurriedly sent the information he had found out. He said it was Master Shen who had come to Dali Temple.

Is Shen Qiuhe coming?

Qiao Guxin's fingers moved slightly. Based on her understanding of Shen Qiuhe, he had never wanted to bother with such trivial matters, and there was no way he would come to visit him because of a gambling house.

However, the matter of the Minister of Justice made Qiao Guxin a little unsure.

"How much money do you have in your hand now?" Qiao Guxin suddenly asked.

Qiao Wenbing quickly took out the banknotes from his sleeve. He had collected half of the lunches he should have made in the past two days, but it was difficult to collect the rest.

Qiao Guxin took the banknotes and said, "The money still has to be paid back. I will get it for you first, but you have to write an IOU."

Because any money borrowed from Qiao Guxin must be written clearly.

Qiao Wenbing has no idea now, he just listens to what Qiao Guxin says.

Qiao Guxin packed up the things and said, "I'll go take a look first." Then he raised his foot and kicked Qiao Wenqing, "I'll remember it for a long time. No one will be able to help you next time."

The bead curtain was lifted again, Qiao Guxin led Nianxiang out and asked the rosary to inquire outside, while she walked slowly behind.

After a while, the rosary came back, saying that Shen Qiuhe had brought someone here. He didn't mention Qiao Wenbing for the time being. He just chatted with his wife. I don't know what happened, but now he was in the main room in front.

Qiao Guxin paused, holding a stack of banknotes in his hand and feeling a little hesitant.

"Miss Qiao." Wang Si, who was guarding the door, saw Qiao Guxin with sharp eyes and shouted directly.

Since he was discovered, Qiao Guxin had no choice but to move forward, "Master Wang." When he arrived in front of the door, Qiao Guxin replied with his forehead.

Then he walked towards the yard.

It's summer now, the doors and windows are open, and the bead curtain hanging on the door to protect against mosquitoes has been lifted up. From the outside, you can clearly see Shen Qiuhe sitting on a chair with a serious face, wearing an embroidered robe. There are dark lines on his face, and the whole person looks a bit indifferent.

Mrs. Gu was sitting in the main seat, but she drank tea frequently, looking very uncomfortable.

"Mother, Mr. Shen." Qiao Guxin lowered her head slightly and met Li first after entering.

"Sister Xin is here?" Mrs. Gu quickly put down her tea cup and called the person to her. "The Duke's Mansion just sent a message."

Hearing Mrs. Gu call her that, Qiao Guxin knew in her heart that Shen Qiuhe's visit to the house was a private matter.

Only then did she notice that there were several brocade boxes on the table next to her, presumably from the Shen family.

"My mother wanted to invite my wife to a party on her birthday, but she interrupted me abruptly." Since Mrs. Gu mentioned it, Shen Qiuhe explained at the side.

He raised his eyes to look at Qiao Guxin, then immediately looked away again, his hand naturally picking up the tea cup next to him.

Hearing what Shen Qiuhe said, Qiao Guxin felt relieved. It really had nothing to do with Qiao Wenbing.

However, the old lady of the Duke's Mansion has never been fond of lively events, and she never remembered that she would have such a grand celebration on her birthday.

Could it be that in the previous life, because of the unrest in the Hou Mansion, I forgot about this birthday?

"That's right. Speaking of which, I haven't talked to my sister-in-law for many years." Mrs. Gu agreed with a smile. After the accident between the old Duke and his son four years ago, the Duke and his wife lived in seclusion and never saw anyone, so Gu What he said is not an exaggeration.

While we were chatting, Aunt Jin came in from outside and said, "Madam, Mr. Shen, I am busy with official business, so I have to come over later."
