At the door of Xue's house, another strange face came.

The concierge couldn't help but mutter, why is our house so busy lately? Then he went to greet him.

Just listen to the report from the other party: "The manager of Duke Zhao's Mansion came to deliver a message to Miss Xue."

What public?

The concierge confirmed it carefully.

Duke Zhao!

That Duke of Zhao!

The concierge was startled and quickly went in to report.

Why did Duke Zhao, who was so helpless, suddenly send a message to his house?

The concierge couldn't figure it out.

Mrs. Xue couldn't figure it out either.

"Is it about the silk village?" Mrs. Xue said hesitantly, but quickly rejected it herself, "It shouldn't be. After all, it is just a trivial matter for Zhao Guogong's mansion. Why go to such a big fight? How can the Duke of Zhao go to war?

If you send a post in the name of the government, it must be the instruction of Duke Zhao."

"To say the least, if it's just about the Silk House, it shouldn't be brought to Miss Xue's head?"

Mrs. Xue couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried.

When Xue Qingyin came, she happened to catch Mrs. Xue's worried look in her eyes.

At this time, the mother-in-law beside Mrs. Xue asked in a low voice: "Madam, please think about it first, is this Miss Xue referring to the eldest girl or the second girl?"

Mrs. Xue couldn't help but look frozen.

Xue Qingyin hurriedly asked what was going on.

The woman quickly repeated it.

"Oh, that's the post for me." Xue Qingyin said, taking the tea from the maid's hand and drinking it, looking a little leisurely.

"How could it be given to you?" Mrs. Xue frowned, "Qingyin, don't claim it randomly."

"It's really for me!" Xue Qingyin knew clearly in her heart that it must be for the matter at the princess's house.

This is something you can't avoid, so it's better to clear up your relationship as early as possible.

"Where are the people from Duke Zhao's mansion?" Xue Qingyin asked again.

"Outside the door..." the boy replied.

Mrs. Xue frowned and cursed: "What kind of fools are there out there? Don't you know how to lead people to the reverse room to rest and wait?"

The boy said: "Forget, forget..."

Xue Chengdong is the Minister of Household Affairs. The so-called Household Department is the emperor's money bag. As Xue Chengdong holds such an important position, he naturally has very few interactions with his colleagues and the princes and nobles!

Mrs. Xue and Xue Qingyin happened to be not very popular in the circle of noble ladies.

Therefore, on weekdays, there are really not many "distinguished guests" here, so it is not surprising that the servants have made some omissions.

Xue Qingyin stopped her mother's anger, put down her teacup and stood up, saying: "Bring me my cloak, and don't keep people waiting. Let's go to Duke Zhao's Mansion now."

Mrs. Xue hesitated to speak: "If this matter is not clarified, I'm afraid you will be bullied..."

"Why are you being bullied?" Xue Qingyin puffed up her chest, "My eldest brother arranged for several slaves to be driven by me, and all of them have learned some boxing and kicking skills. Now I am the only one who bullies others."

Mrs. Xue looked helpless.

She is still a little girl after all. How do you know that under the power, a few servants who know how to fight and kick are nothing?

But the friendship between brother and sister seems to be getting deeper and deeper, and Mrs. Xue finally feels a little more comfortable.

Mrs. Xue said nothing more and immediately sent Xue Qingyin to the door.

The manager of the Duke's Mansion who came outside the door had a cold face and looked like he was not someone to be trifled with.

"Is this Miss Xue?" he asked.

Mrs. Xue suddenly felt angry in her heart, thinking, "You don't even know Miss Xue? How dare you come to my Xue family to invite people?"

Xue Qingyin on the side nodded, patted the back of her mother's hand comfortingly, and replied: "Exactly."

Seeing that Xue Qingyin was neither humble nor arrogant, and not in a hurry, the manager relaxed his face and asked Xue Qingyin to get on the carriage.

"I just invite Miss Xue to have tea, and we will send Miss Xue back."

Mrs. Xue said coldly: "I'm just afraid that others will gossip."

Now that there are no female relatives in the Duke's residence, it would not be very pleasant to spread the word that Xue Qingyin should be invited alone.

"Madam, you can rest assured that the Duke of Guo has hosted this tea banquet in Furong Garden."

Mrs. Xue breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

What kind of place is Furong Garden?

A place where noble ladies from the capital go to play.

But not everyone can enter.

Either she must be the daughter of a prince or a noble, or she must be invited by a nobleman to enter the garden.

Xue Qingyin went there today. It was too late for others to envy her, so how could they criticize her?

Just listen to Xue Qingyin urging: "Let's go."

The corners of the mouth of the chief steward of the Duke's Mansion twitched.

Is this Miss Xue really not afraid at all?

Wait for the carriage to leave.

Look at the Xue family servant who followed.

One, two, three, four...a full five?

The corners of the steward's mouth twitched again.

He now knew why she wasn't afraid.

There are many hibiscus in the hibiscus garden.

As soon as Xue Qingyin got off the carriage, she smelled the fragrance of flowers.

She couldn't help but look up and saw that the Lotus Garden was surprisingly quiet today, with almost no one in sight.

Is this for Zhao Guogong’s mansion to book the venue?

Is Zhao Guogong's face so great?

If Concubine Wan really succeeds...will the Duke of Zhao regard her as a scheming person who is trying to seize the Duke's property by marrying a fool?

The outcome...should not be good.

Xue Qingyin frowned secretly.

Then he was led all the way forward by the steward, and he didn't care about the scenery on the road.

Finally, we arrived at a garden.

Surrounded by hibiscus flowers, multiple screens were erected.

There were people sitting behind the screen, but I couldn't see their faces clearly.

Xue Qingyin always felt that something was wrong with this scene, but now it was too late to retreat.

I saw the steward bowing to the person on the throne and saying: "Your Excellency, Miss Xue has brought you."

Calling him "noble" but not "gong" means that the person sitting there is not Duke Zhao.

But what kind of person can sit in the main seat, conduct inquiries for Zhao Guogong, and still be called a "noble person"?

A ridiculous thought flashed through Xue Qingyin's mind -

emperor?

But this matter is not big at all, so why should it alarm the emperor?

Unless... Zhao Guogong got angry and dragged Concubine Wan into the water, and finally Princess Jinque got involved in the situation.

Xue Qingyin has never felt that her mind is spinning so fast!

But it’s no use turning fast...

Her heart sank, and she felt that what she said today would become very important...

In this way, it is easy to offend noble people, and it is easy to get yourself into trouble and die.

Damn it, He Songning!

This is all your fault!

Xue Qingyin bit her lower lip, suppressed the numerous thoughts in her mind, bowed and imitated the appearance of a general manager, and saluted the person on the throne: "I have met the noble man."
