Regarding Guo Jia's reminder, Yan Qing responded with a smile, "If the source of the rumors is dealt with, it won't take long to take over the border defense."

Guo Jia's eyes flashed, and she lowered her voice and asked, "Are you all ready?"

"almost."

Yan Qing answered ambiguously.

Guo Jia asked: "What else is missing?"

Yan Qing raised his eyelashes and looked at her, then smiled suddenly, "We still need your father's statement. Even if a Beijing official who has been sent abroad has made a big mistake, as a rule, he must first be taken into custody and reported to the Ministry of Punishment, and then escorted back to the capital before making a decision. Although I

There are some privileges, but if you protect this person, I can't do anything too extreme."

"This is indeed a problem."

Guo Jia pursed her lips, "He has been friends with his father for many years. With his father's character, if there is no direct evidence that he is indeed unforgivable, it is really possible for him to protect his shortcomings."

"That's not called protecting the weak, it's called shielding."

Yan Qingdao, "If a person does something that is morally wrong, does not involve the law, and does not harm others, it can still be maintained. Those who violate laws and disciplines, commit crimes and violate laws, should have clear rewards and punishments."

"As for the evidence, these days are really... harvesting, abundant, abundant."

Yan Qing bit her tongue one word at a time, her voice getting cold.

Listening to her tone, Guo Jia vaguely guessed that the matter behind this was probably much more serious than she knew.

"I will go and persuade my father."

Guo Jia lowered his tone.

"That's all thanks to Miss Guo."

Yan Qing tugged at the corners of his lips, "The deadline is approaching, and I must go to the Defense Department tomorrow."

Guo Jia knew that she was about to close the net, so he nodded and said, "I believe that my father is not a person who cannot distinguish between right and wrong."

"I guess so."

After Yan Qing said this, he stopped talking.

After listening to a storytelling session, the two of them left the teahouse and returned to the Hou Mansion.

As soon as Guo Jia stepped into the Marquis Mansion, the housekeeper Guo Yu came to greet her, "Miss, the Marquis is back. The Marquis is waiting for you at Shensi Zhai. Please come over there when you come back and have dinner with Madam."

Guo Jia lowered his eyes slightly, glanced at Yan Qing, and said, "I understand, please greet Mr. Yan well for me."

Guo Yu responded, and after Guo Jia left, he led Yan Qing to the guest room.

"Your wife is the sister of Lord Bu Shenxingbu, the young minister of Dali Temple?"

Yan Qing asked seemingly unintentionally.

"yes."

Guo Yu did not deliberately hide this fact that everyone knew, "My wife and the Marquis were childhood sweethearts. They were well-educated and kind-hearted in dealing with others. It's a pity that the beauty was unlucky. She passed away less than half a year after giving birth to her."

"It's a pity."

Yan Qing sighed and asked again, "Since Madam has passed away, today..."

Yan Qing seemed to be considering his words and did not dare to finish the words easily for fear of breaking a taboo.

Guo Yu understood Yan Qing's question very well, "Today is Madam's birthday. Unless the war is serious, the Marquis will spend this day with Madam every year. After Madam goes, the Marquis and the Madam will spend this day together.

Go to Shensi Zhai to have dinner, guard my wife’s memorial tablet, and celebrate her birthday with her.”

"I see."

Yan Qingdao, "The Marquis and his wife have a deep and enviable relationship."

"They're just a couple of miserable people."

Guo Yu shook his head and sighed.

Yan Qing's eyes flashed slightly, and he glanced at the fair-haired Guo Yu from the corner of his eye, and asked, "I heard that in addition to being classmates and good friends with the Marquis, Master Wu also has a very good relationship with his wife?"

Guo Yu paused slightly, but quickly adjusted to normal, and replied: "Master Wu is Madam's cousin."

"It turns out that Mr. Wu and the Marquis are still relatives."

Yan Qing suddenly nodded.

This is consistent with Yan Qi's information.

In this way, although Wu Fang put Guo Jia under house arrest in his previous life, he did not kill him. After that, Guo Jia escaped and did not pursue much. He just killed everyone else in the Guo family and accepted Bu Shensi's love.

"Sir, Bamboo Garden has arrived."

Yan Qing woke up from his deep thoughts and saw that he had arrived at the entrance of Bamboo Garden without realizing it.

"My lord, please rest first. I will send someone to bring you dinner later."

Guo Yu said.

"Butler Guo is tired."

Yan Qing thanked him and was about to enter the courtyard when he saw Guo Yu standing where he was.

Yan Qing was confused, "Does Butler Guo have anything else?"

Guo Yu took a deep look at her, bowed his head and said something inexplicable, "Although the Marquis loves the young lady very much, if the young lady does something wrong, he will definitely speak harshly and without any favoritism."

Hearing this, Yan Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, curved his lips slightly, and said: "The Marquis distinguishes between public and private matters, which is admirable."

Guo Yu nodded, stood up and left.

Not long after, someone brought food.

Hongzhuang took the medicine and walked with the man to Zhuyuan.

"It's time to close the net."

Yan Qing took the medicine bowl and said to Hongzhuang, "The soldiers borrowed from the North can be used. Everyone involved in this matter must be counted. Don't miss out."

Hongzhuang responded and signaled her to take the medicine first.

Looking at the dark medicinal soup in the medicine bowl, Yan Qing wrinkled his nose and drank it all in one gulp.

The bitterness of the heart fills the entire mouth, with a slight sourness and a strong fishy smell.

Even Yan Qing, who was used to drinking bitter medicine, couldn't help but choke on the taste.

"Changed the prescription?"

Yan Qing asked with a bitter look on his face.

Hongzhuang nodded, "Mr. Mu said before that we will pick up the new medicine in one month. This is what Hongying just sent today, and there will be new ones next month."

"besides?"

Yan Qing's face was full of bitterness.

"There is still half a year of treatment left."

Hongzhuang saw Yan Qing's rare change of expression. It was funny, but she couldn't laugh. "As for the future, Mu Lao will personally see your situation before making a decision."

Yan Qing was speechless. After a moment, he smiled bitterly and said, "I don't think I'm that sick."

"Looking at the way you are bouncing around all day long, you really don't look like you are terminally ill."

Hongzhuang smiled and echoed her words, "Maybe this medicine is not for treating diseases, but for replenishing the body. You have been seriously injured several times in a row, so it is inevitable that you will suffer from blood deficiency."

Although she said what seemed like a joke, Hong Zhuang's eyes felt uncomfortable.

She cooked the medicine with her own hands, and after seeing the medicine with her own eyes, she knew that her words were just self-deception.

Yan Qing didn't seem to notice Hong Zhuang's expression, and was quite sad, "This tonic is too unpalatable."

"Mulao's medicine always tastes bad, but the effect is very good."

Hongzhuang put away the medicine bowl, put the food on the table, handed over the chopsticks, and coaxed a child and said, "It will be better after the pain is over for a while."

Yan Qing sighed, "This food smells delicious. When you eat it, it smells like medicine."

Hongzhuang picked up a few chopsticks for her to taste the strong dishes and persuaded her: "This medicine must be taken before meals for the best effect."

Even though he complained, Yan Qing did not mention stopping the medicine.

She needs to live longer.

The bowls have just been served here at Zhuyuan, and the dinner at Shensi Zhai is coming to an end.

After the leftovers on the table were cleared away, Guo Youning looked at the memorial tablet of Bu Shensi and said, "Sixteen years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Jia'er has reached the age to say goodbye, but this girl is following other people's little girls behind every day.
