Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, Duan Ruhao heard a lot of people talking on his way back to the mansion, and now the first thing he does when he returns to the mansion is to find someone to ask questions about, and Butler Wu will tell him everything he knows.

Duan Ruhao frowned, "Does that mean everyone is rushing to get Qian'er's manuscript paper?"

"Yes, sir."

"Where's Madam? Has Madam handled this matter?"

"Madam...she said they are all things that cannot be put on the stage and cannot be compared to the third lady, so..."

"A woman's perspective."

Duan Ruhao slammed the table angrily and stood up, heading directly to Zhao Lingyue's yard.

Zhao Lingyue's life is very pleasant now. She is lying lazily on the couch in the yard, eating fruit.

Zhao Lingyue saw Duan Ruhao coming and stood up quickly, "Master, are you in such a hurry?"

Duan Ruhao was angry when he saw Zhao Lingyue acting like it had nothing to do with him.

"Madam, do you know about Qian'er?"

Zhao Lingyue saw that Duan Ruhao's face was not good, so she straightened her body and answered.

"Master, aren't there just a few scholars who want to buy Qian'er's manuscript paper? Isn't it a big deal?"

"Isn't it a big deal? The city is talking about it now, but as Qian'er's mother, you don't know anything about it?"

"I know, I know, it's not just that some scholars don't have money to buy books, so they just buy a few manuscripts copied by Qian'er."

"The manuscript paper for copying? They are all saying that the source of the poems and articles copied by Qian'er cannot be found at all. They are the only copies of my father-in-law, Mr. Jian!"

"The only copy?"

"Now it is marketable but priceless."

Zhao Lingyue stayed where he was, while Duan Ruhao waved his sleeves and snorted and walked out.

"Bring Ma Liu to see me."

"Yes, sir."

In the hall, Liu Ma knelt down with a trembling body and saluted.

"I've met the master."

Duan Ruhao glared and said sternly.

"Are you Mama Liu?"

"yes."

"Are you taking care of the eldest lady's room?"

"Yes. But Master, this is all allowed by the eldest lady."

Mother Liu raised her head to explain, then lowered her head timidly.

Duan Ruhao obviously didn't believe it, "Did the eldest lady allow it? Even if it was allowed by the eldest lady, did you ask Madam, did you ask your master or me?"

Liu Ma knelt down and kowtowed, and said with a tearful voice, "I forgive you, I forgive you. I made my own decision. I deserve to die! I deserve to die!"

Liu Ma kept kowtowing and confessing her guilt.

Duan Ruhao watched from above without saying anything. Seeing that Liu Ma's forehead started to turn red from knocking her head, he said calmly in a cold voice.

"Miss, how many manuscript papers do you still have?"

"That's all."

Mother Liu took out the few remaining pictures from her arms, and they were all burned. Duan Ruhao became angry again when he saw them.

"That's all there is? What do you think if one piece is missing?"

Duan Ruhao didn't even ask anyone to pick him up, Liu Ma just held it up with her hands. When she heard Duan Ruhao's scolding, her hands couldn't help but tremble.

"They're all... all old slaves who are illiterate, old slaves..."

After speaking, her voice became quieter. She didn't dare to say that she was burned because she couldn't read.

Duan Ruhao slapped the table and was about to lose his temper, when the guards led Aunt Shi in. Aunt Shi had stayed in the house for half a month before Duan Qingqian was to be married, so Duan Ruhao recognized her.

Duan Ruhao put away his cold face, and Grandma Shi saluted Duan Ruhao, "I have met the Prime Minister."

Duan Ruhao forced a smile and said, "I wonder if Aunt Shi is coming this time...?"

"The princess sent me to tell the prime minister that the princess knew about Liu's mother selling her manuscript paper. She also asked the prime minister not to embarrass Liu's mother."

Duan Ruhao didn't want to agree in his heart, but Aunt Shi was from the regent's palace, and he didn't dare not give it to An Yunmo, so he smiled bitterly.

"Don't dare, I just asked her to ask a few questions."

"That's good, I'll take my leave."

As soon as Aunt Shi left, Duan Ruhao's face became serious again, "Bring the things here."

Butler Wu stepped forward and took the manuscript paper from Liu Ma's hand. Duan Ruhao took it and looked at the manuscript paper.

Liu Ma was still kneeling on the same spot, not daring to get up. Butler Wu probably guessed what Duan Ruhao meant and said to Liu Ma.

"Don't back down yet."

When Liu Ma heard this, she immediately kowtowed and said, "Thank you, master, thank you, master. I will step down now. I will step down now."

Liu Ma immediately exited the hall.

Duan Ruhao took Duan Qingqian's manuscript paper and looked through it casually. He felt that the word was not correct, and he had no intention of understanding the meaning of the words. He took the manuscript paper and went to the study room.

Butler Wu saw that Duan Ruhao was in a bad mood, so he did not dare to come forward. After Duan Ruhao entered the study, he silently closed the door for him.

Duan Ruhao put Duan Qingqian's manuscript paper aside and dug out a box in a corner of the study. There was a layer of dust on the box. Duan Ruhao gently removed it with his hand and opened the box carefully. A musty smell of old books came out.

Duan Ruhao moved his head slightly, took out a book and flipped through it. The book was full of comments in three different handwritings: his, his father-in-law's, and hers.

Duan Ruhao sighed with emotion, thinking that he was so poor back then. If he hadn't met Aunt Cui, he wouldn't be where he is now. He had feelings for her, but the feelings were not deep enough after all. When he achieved something, he wanted to tell the world about it.

, he obtained these by his own ability, not by relying on Aunt Cui. Because he was eager to express himself, he gradually alienated Aunt Cui, until later she hurt her body because of giving birth to Duan Qingqian, which gave him a reason, and then

Later she wanted to harm the fetus in Zhao Lingyue's belly.

Duan Ruhao felt a little sorry for Aunt Cui when he recalled what happened over the years. It was also because he demoted Mrs. Cui to Aunt Cui. Mr. Jian became more and more indifferent to him, and he became more and more disliked by him. He himself was too lazy to come forward.

, he and Mr. Jian also gradually became estranged.

Duan Ruhao opened another book and saw the same situation. The books in this box were all selected for him by Mr. Jian and Aunt Cui in his high school.

Duan Ruhao sighed heavily, put Duan Qingqian's manuscript papers into the box, and locked it up. He originally wanted to ask Duan Qingqian why she didn't tell him about these unique copies, but he thought that when Mr. Jian and his wife passed away, it was Duan Qingqian who

Qian took care of it alone, then shook his head and said.

"Cui'er, I won't interfere with Qian'er's matter this time. I just want to repay your kindness back then."

Duan Ruhao ignored it here, but that didn't mean that others ignored it.

No, the palace is bustling with activity.

Fengyi Hall.

An Yunsheng frowned and asked Liu Ruyun with a grimace, "Queen, aren't you very smart? Why can't you see Duan Qingqian's depth and still say she is worthless?"

Liu Ruyun also hated her in her heart, "Your Majesty, the regent is hiding too deep. She is useless in front of the concubines. Who would have thought that she is so deep in the palace?"

An Yunsheng said nothing and still had a dark face.

Liu Ruyun said to herself, "This regent is not stupid. I must have..."

"What did you say?"

Liu Ruyun quickly replied, "No, I didn't say anything."

An Yunsheng did not ask further questions and said through gritted teeth.

"An Yunmo! I doubted him at the beginning. How could he condescend to marry a well-known concubine and give her the position of concubine? There is a reason. And Duan Qingqian is not that simple. She was

I thought she was lucky to be able to escape, but now it seems that she is not a visitor."

"emperor."

"Go check it out for me immediately. Don't let An Yunmo or Duan Qingqian go."

"yes."

Regent's Palace.

Duan Qingqian, the person involved, was very leisurely at the moment, completely unaware that people outside were making a fuss over her manuscript, and Xu Ziqi also took advantage of the limelight and came to Duan Qingqian to ask her about her experience.

"Princess, is it easy to vent your anger this time?"

Xuzi said as he took the.asxs.heart and put it into his mouth.

"fine."

"Are you okay? You don't even know what they did to you yesterday?"

"They can talk as much as they like. Anyway, it will fade away after a while."
