After being reborn, the powerful minister's heart is overwhelmed

This sister has become a sister-in-law? She should always be avoided.

Qiao Wenqing shook his head indifferently, "They are just cousins, not brothers. What are you afraid of?"

If it really happens, the two of them will not live under the same roof after they get married.

Mrs. Gu thought for a moment and then smiled. This is good. Chu Han and Qiao are familiar with each other, and they can have something to say, "But don't tell your sister about this, or it will make her feel awkward."

If it works out, forget it. If it doesn't work out, it won't be comfortable to meet each other. Let's first see if the two of them have such a fate.

On the other side, after watching Qiao Guxin come out, Qiao Wenzhi took a few steps. Although the people from the Duke's Mansion had only been here for a short time, such a big thing had already spread throughout the mansion.

Qiao Wenzhi looked at Qiao Guxin's expression as usual, and then chuckled, "It's true that I thought too much."

After all, a woman will feel a little uncomfortable if her engagement is annulled.

Qiao Guxin led Qiao Wenzhi to her yard, "It's not a big deal, so I don't need to take it to heart."

Qiao Wenzhi smiled and nodded, "That's exactly what you said."

Nowadays, there are so many people who want to get married in the Marquis's Mansion, so why bother to get married in the Duke's Mansion?

It would be fine if it was a good place to go, but it would be a relief to live in a not-so-nice family.

As the two sisters spoke, Qiao Guxin turned to look at Qiao Wenzhi, "Can't you give me something to congratulate me?"

Qiao Wenzhi looked at Qiao Guxin in confusion, how could her things get into Qiao Guxin's eyes. Her thoughts changed slightly and then she laughed, "This is natural, I will personally embroider a mandarin duck pillow for my sister. I look forward to it."

My sister will find a good husband as soon as possible."

Upon hearing that Qiao Wenzhi had learned to make fun of herself, Qiao Guxin flicked Qiao Wenzhi's forehead directly, "I watched you learn it from Wen Bing, no matter how big or small."

Qiao Wenzhi quickly raised her hands to apologize, "I know I was wrong."

Waiting for Qiao Guxin to put down her hand, Qiao Wenzhi couldn't help but get closer to Qiao Guxin and asked, "Does the eldest sister have a son that she likes? Let Brother Qing pay attention to him too?"

In the past, such a joke was not allowed, but now that Qiao Guxin has no engagement, it is reasonable even if she falls in love with the young master.

"You still said it, you still said it!" Qiao Guxin pinched her waist with both hands and glared at Qiao Wenzhi.

Qiao Wenzhi quickly lowered her head and ran away.

Not far away, Qiao Wenbing looked at the two sisters who were joking.

"Master, do you want to come forward?" The young man saw that Qiao Wen was not moving and couldn't help but ask.

After Qiao Wenbing learned that Qiao Guxin was annulled by the Duke's government, he hurried over, but now he stood still looking at the person.

Qiao Wenbing shook his head slightly, "I don't think I need it."

He thought that Qiao Gu would feel a little uncomfortable, but now he seemed to be happier than before. This withdrawal was really interesting.

In the eyes of outsiders, it may be that the Duke's government broke off the engagement because they were afraid of injuring the Hou's government. How does it really look like? Qiao Wenbing raised his eyes and looked at Qiao Guxin, fearing that only she, the eldest sister, knew this.

Smart women generally don't let themselves get dirty. This time the Marquis's decision to cancel the engagement may be criticized, but it is also the best result.

If Qiao Guxin was unwilling to marry Shen Qiuhe from the beginning, there were only two ways to break off the engagement, either something happened to Shen Qiuhe or something happened to Qiao Guxin.

Many people in the world treat women harshly. If Qiao Guxin really chooses to quit because of her own reputation, then her future marriages will definitely be affected.

Now it seems that it is the most suitable opportunity. At least in front of outsiders, both of them look good.

The wife of the Duke's Mansion lives in seclusion, so naturally she will not talk about these things to outsiders. Even if she mentions it for the sake of the Duke's Mansion, it can only be the result that others want to see.

Qiao Wenbing squinted his eyes, thinking that when he went to the banquet, Qiao Guxin was still there, being tested by the two ladies of the Duke's Mansion. Who would know that Qiao Guxin had other thoughts?

If it weren't for Qiao Guxin being just a housewife, he would have suspected that Shen Qiuhe's case was related to Qiao Guxin, so he just waited for this opportunity.

His hands were naturally clasped behind his back, "Let's go back and endorse the book. Don't let my brother come later and punish me again."

As for Qiao's old intention, he didn't need to protect it himself.

As for the matter of renunciation, Marquis Ning Shun would not say anything more after knowing about it. Anyway, it was impossible for him to go to the Duke's Mansion to inquire about Qiao's intentions.

Furthermore, the Duke's residence is full of women, and it is difficult for him to be a man.

In the end, all I can say is, "If they don't want to get married, they won't get married."

Such a big matter was treated lightly in the Hou Mansion and did not cause any disturbance.

On the other side, when Wang Si knew that the Duke's palace had canceled their engagement, everyone was stunned. They just felt that this was too sudden and there were no signs at all.

No, it's not impossible. When he went to the Hou Mansion this time, his demeanor changed when he saw Qiao Guxin.

When night fell, Wang Si hurried out. Everything in the prison had been prepared, and he entered smoothly.

Shen Qiuhe has not yet been convicted, so the Holy One trusted the Ministry of Punishment to take Shen Qiuhe into custody first. Due to their grievances with the Ministry of Punishment, the people below detained Shen Qiuhe alone so that the people from the Ministry of Punishment could come and question him privately.

At this moment, Shen Qiuhe was wearing thin clothes and sitting on a couch covered with straw. Since there was no place to bathe, a few straws were stuck on his head and his beard had grown a bit.

But because his eyes were bright, he didn't look too decadent.

Hearing the sound, Shen Qiuhe raised his head and glanced at Wang Si, "Why are you here?"

Wang Si looked at Shen Qiuhe in jail and felt his nose sore, "Master, our evidence is gone."

That jade pendant was obtained a few years ago. It looks like ordinary white marble, but it is harder than white marble, and the cool air flowing through the body is cooler than any jade stone.

Such a fine stone did not flow into the Royal Household Office, but was used by the Crown Princess for private use.

The Minister of Punishment personally provided cover. This could prove that the prince colluded with the Minister of Punishment.

Shen Qiuhe listened to Wang Si's explanation and sat there without speaking for a long time.

"Master, we have been fooled by Miss Qiao." What I said before about safe keeping and feelings are all lies. "Miss Qiao is a vain person. The younger one even advised the master to coax her, which is simply blind. It’s so eye-catching.”

"Shut up!" Shen Qiuhe reprimanded sternly, unwilling to let Wang Si talk about Qiao's old intentions like this.

Thinking about the past bit by bit in his mind, even Shen Qiuhe himself couldn't do what Qiao Guxin did. She was really the perfect mistress and the kindest woman in the world.

His eyes slowly closed. When Qiao Guxin was dying, he was outside. He heard from the people below that Qiao Guxin said a lot when he left. He gave instructions on all the big and small things in the house, and even regretted not being able to do so. Serve yourself till you grow old.

How could a person with such long-lasting affection be a vain person?

After a long time, Shen Qiuhe slowly opened his eyes, "She must be scared for a girl to lose such an important thing. And you also said that Mrs. Hou suddenly broke in and caused a conflict, and she just apologized. That’s all.”

In this way, it seems to make sense.

He was so frightened when he saw some blood. Now that he lost an important evidence, of course he would be frightened and panicked.

What's more, what Madam Hou said was right, and it was indeed something he failed to consider.

"Master." Seeing that Shen Qiuhe was still trying to excuse Qiao's old intentions, Wang Si couldn't help but become anxious, "Master, you are wrong. You shouldn't involve her inexplicably. Women are a disaster."

With the evidence, what did Shen Qiuhe do to Qiao Guxin?

When asked, Shen Qiuhe remained silent for a moment. No one knew why he wanted to give Qiao his heart. The little thoughts in his heart seemed to have no meaning now.

"Forget it, just do it. You don't have to find any suitable reasons. Kill whoever deserves to be killed." Shen Qiuhe's eyes slowly turned cold, as if this prison was just the main hall of Dali Temple.

In fact, it was not difficult for Shen Qiuhe to find a gentle way, but he didn't think about it anymore.

He had already found out about the Ministry of Punishment's collusion with the inner palace, but now he was just following a trick.

"Master, wouldn't this just mean watching the Crown Princess do stupid things?" Wang Si shook his head slightly, feeling that this was too strong.

Shen Qiuhe sneered, "She doesn't cherish her children, so does she still want me, a foreign minister, to pity her?"

As for the Punishment Department, they can use the so-called conflict to kill themselves, so they can also use this reason, because they hate them so much that they just want them to die!

Seeing that Shen Qiuhe had made up his mind, Wang Si quickly retreated.

Soon it was hidden in the darkness. The night was still the same as before, but what happened under this darkness was not simple.

Early the next morning, the collusion between the Criminal Department and the Crown Princess was revealed.

As a result, the so-called jealousy among concubines in the harem becomes complicated.

The Prince of the East Palace directly proposed that either the people from the Criminal Department should be imprisoned, or Shen Qiuhe should be released, so that the three departments could truly handle the case together.

Although Shen Qiuhe was suspected but not yet convicted, the Ministry of Punishment had definitely made a mistake. Even if the Holy One intended to protect him, there was nothing he could do about it.

Things in the court are changing rapidly, and Ning Shunhou is not a person who loves the Hou family, so the family members of the Hou family are not aware of this matter.

So much so that when the Prime Minister's Mansion sent someone to send a letter saying that there was something going on at home and asked Mr. Gu to go back, everyone still didn't know what had happened.

"Is it possible that grandpa is not feeling well?" Qiao Guxin frowned slightly, otherwise he wouldn't have called people in such a hurry.

When Mrs. Gu heard this, she felt a little panicked. She didn't even have time to change her clothes, so she asked someone to tell the old lady and hurried back in the Marquis's carriage.

Originally, Qiao Guxin and Qiao Wenqing were also going to follow, but Mrs. Gu was afraid that the documents from the court would come down and there would be no one in the house, so she asked them to stay. If Prime Minister Gu really felt unwell, she would send someone to pick them up.

Gu's arrangements were well made, so Qiao Guxin and Qiao Wenqing had no choice but to nod.

Mrs. Gu left in a hurry, and when she arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mrs. Zhang got the news and was waiting at the door. Originally, Mrs. Gu thought she would go to see her mother first, but Mrs. Zhang shook her head, "My father-in-law and husband are waiting. Look. They don't look very good, please pay more attention."

Hearing Mrs. Zhang's words, there was something in them. Mrs. Gu wondered, "What's going on?"

However, I didn't dare to ask any more questions and quickly followed the person below me.

As expected, he didn't take her to the backyard, but went directly to Gu Xiang's study.

The person below said that my aunt had returned to her house, so she quickly opened the curtain and invited Mrs. Gu to come in.

After Mr. Gu entered, Mr. Gu was sitting on a chair in a black robe, looking at the official document below.

After all, he was getting older, and even in the autumn it felt cold. There was a heater next to him, and the pile of official documents on the other side could almost block Prime Minister Gu.

"Father, brother." Gu stood in the middle and bowed in greeting.

Gu Shangshu sat at the bottom, waiting for Mr. Gu.

Gu Xiang raised his head, hummed, and motioned for her to get up and sit in front of Gu Shangshu.

"I didn't scare you, did I?" Gu Shangshu took a bunch of melon seeds and brought them to Mrs. Gu, and said warmly.

Mrs. Gu shook her head gently, "I don't think anything big will happen."

Gu Xiang snorted, took a pen and wrote a few words on the official document. After he finished writing, he put the booklet aside and then looked at Mrs. Gu, "I only found out now that the Duke's Mansion has dismissed Sister Tongxin."

My son’s marriage is about to happen? What’s going on?”

Mrs. Gu didn't expect that Gu Xiang would care about this matter. She was about to take the melon seeds with her hand, but she took it back and said, "Isn't this because the child of the Shen family is in jail? Maybe they were afraid of disturbing Sister Xin, so they proposed

I want to cancel the engagement."

Prime Minister Gu's face darkened, "You agreed to break off the engagement when they said it? The Duke's Palace and your father-in-law have been friends for a long time. Since you married into the Hou's Palace, you are a member of the Hou's Palace. You must consider the Hou's Palace in everything. If you are your father-in-law,

Jian Zai, do you think he would agree?"

Prime Minister Gu is a good minister, upright in dealing with matters, and he educates his children to be a gentleman.

The girls in the Gu family are also virtuous and generous, and behave appropriately.

But now, Mrs. Gu is a little unhappy. What about the old friendship? No matter how great the friendship is, it can't compare to the happiness of her daughter.

Seeing Gu's unkind expression, Gu Shangshu intervened in the middle, "Father, please don't scold me. The old lady of the Hou Mansion and Ning Shunhou are the masters of this matter. They all agreed. What else can the younger sister say?"

?"

Gu Shangshu originally did not participate in the affairs of the inner house, but when Zhang came back from a banquet in the Guo Gong's Mansion, he talked about the two people in the Guo Gong's Mansion. Gu Shangshu even thought that the Guo Gong's Mansion was not a good match.

"Don't protect her here!" Gu Xiangyi smashed the pen in his hand at Gu Shangshu in anger, "I don't know about Qiao Xianrong. He is always confused. As for Mr. Houfu

Madam." Gu Xiang pointed at Mrs. Gu, "Her son has become the number one scholar. If she is willing, can my mother-in-law seek bad luck from her?"

Mrs. Gu was scolded by Prime Minister Gu, with tears in her eyes. She wanted to shout out regardless, but when she said this, she had to talk about how Ning Shunhou treated Qiao Xunfeng, otherwise they wouldn't know that a woman can't find a good wife.

How miserable people are.

But as soon as the words came to her lips, Mrs. Gu swallowed them back.

Mr. Gu is getting older, so instead of making him feel distressed, it would be better to let him scold him a few times to relieve his anger, but he won't be thinking about him all the time.

Seeing that Mrs. Gu remained silent, Prime Minister Gu lowered his voice and said, "Forget it if it's someone else. The Duke's Mansion is in a special situation. There are two widows living in the house, so people should be more concerned."

Mrs. Gu agreed, but she disagreed in her heart. What happened to the widow? The widow is superior to others and can bully others at will. If this is the case, she is willing to be a widow and say something to anyone she doesn't like.
