Mrs. Cui waved her hand and said, "You go down first and report the letter over as soon as you get it."
Cui Er received the order and bowed out of Nuange.
Aunt Qiao stepped forward to serve tea to Mrs. Cui and comforted her: "Madam, please stop being angry. Mr. Cui has always done things properly, so there shouldn't be any mistakes."
Mrs. Cui took the tea from Grandma Qiao and took a sip, feeling extremely irritable.
Half an hour later, Cui Er received a report from his subordinates: "Boss, the younger ones searched all over the capital but couldn't find Chunsheng and the others."
"I haven't found him? How can I not find such a big and thick man? I want to see him alive, but I want to see his body even if he dies!" Cui Er frowned and said angrily.
"Yes, I'll go look for you later." The visitor stepped back.
Cui Er felt uneasy and walked around the room twice before turning back to Fu'an Hall.
After hearing Cui Er's report, Mrs. Cui looked at Cui Er in shock, "No one was found? How many people did you send out yesterday?"
Cui Er replied: "Go back to the old lady, I've sent eight people out."
"Eight people? No one responded?" Mrs. Cui was no longer calm, staring at Cui Er closely.
Cui Er did not dare to look at Mrs. Cui and lowered his head and replied: "Yes, none of them came back."
Mrs. Cui's shoulders slumped down and she leaned back. As soon as her back touched the back of the chair, she straightened up again. She ordered Cui Er: "Let someone go and see who is around that girl from the Ning family."
?”
"What the old lady means..." Cui Er looked at Old Madam Cui, but did not say the next words.
Mrs. Cui urged: "Go quickly."
Cui Er leaned forward and said, "Yes, I'll go right away, little one."
After Cui Er left, Grandma Qiao asked: "What does the old lady mean, Master Biao has arranged manpower around Miss Ning?"
Mrs. Cui frowned and said, "If this were not the case, how could the eight secret guards disappear without anyone noticing just because of that girl from the Ning family?"
"If this is the case, doesn't Master Biao know that we have taken action against Miss Chao Ning?" Aunt Qiao said worriedly.
Mrs. Cui said angrily, "So what if he knows? Can he still cause trouble for me?"
Aunt Qiao did not dare to answer the question and stood aside with her hands down.
After breakfast the next day, Cui Er reported to Mrs. Cui: "Old Madam, Miss Ning is surrounded by people of the Qiao generation from the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion."
Mrs. Cui asked: "Those eight people still don't believe it?"
Cui Er shook his head, "No, people of the Qiao generation in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion are all capable of doing their own thing and are very skilled. Chunsheng and the others are probably in worse danger."
Mrs. Cui's expression changed slightly and she waved to Cui Er. "I understand, you can go down."
Cui Er stepped back, Mrs. Cui held the teacup in her hand and threw it heavily to the ground, "Evil! How dare he?"
Mrs. Cui yelled at Aunt Qiao: "How can I not be angry? How dare he touch my own person, this bastard! He doesn't take me seriously at all."
Aunt Qiao comforted her and said, "Perhaps, Young Master Biao doesn't even know that those people are the old lady's people."
"You think I am stupid, that evildoer is trying to show me power!" Mrs. Cui was extremely angry.
Aunt Qiao asked in a low voice: "Then... what does the old lady plan to do?"
Mrs. Cui thought for a moment and said: "Take my name card to Mingyuan and ask that girl to come to the Duke's mansion to see me."
Aunt Qiao saw the coldness in Mrs. Cui's eyes, and her heart tightened, and she asked, "Does the old lady want to..."
Mrs. Cui glanced at Aunt Qiao without concealing it, and said bluntly: "Since we can't hurt her from outside, then bring her into the house. I don't believe it, she is a little girl, and I can't do anything to her."
Aunt Qiao hesitated, "But if something happens to Miss Ning in the Duke's Mansion, it will bring bad reputation to the Duke's Mansion."
Mrs. Cui glared at Aunt Qiao, "You are stupid. You know the reputation of the Duke's Mansion. Does your Majesty know that? Does Your Highness know that?"
It was because they cared about the reputation of the Duke's Mansion that I had the opportunity to take action.
Besides, she is in the Duke's Mansion and I charge her with disobedience, who can say anything to me?"
An idea flashed in Aunt Qiao's mind, and she instantly understood what Mrs. Cui meant. She nodded repeatedly, "I'm stupid, I'll go now.
In Mingyuan, Ning Wei had breakfast and went out with Hu Rui, Ruoqing, Ruoyu, and Kehan.
When Changxing came in to report, Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Jiang were chatting in the Nuang Pavilion.
Mrs. Qian thought she heard wrongly and asked, "Who did you say came to your door?"
Changxing leaned forward and said: "Go back to the old lady, the person who came said that she is the steward of the old lady in the Duke Chengguo Mansion."
Mrs. Qian turned to look at Mrs. Jiang.
Old Mrs. Jiang frowned slightly, the steward next to Cui Jiaxin? "The visitor is a guest, please invite them in first."
Mrs. Qian said to Changxing: "Invite people in."
Changxing bowed and stepped back.
Mrs. Jiang asked: "Does Demei have any contact with Cui Jiaxin?"
Mrs. Qian shook her head and said: "No, my official position was low during his lifetime, and we cannot afford someone like Mrs. Cui."
Mrs. Jiang thought for a moment and said, "This steward is most likely here because of Sister Wei. Cui Jiaxin was born in the Cui family of Qinghe. Because he was born into a prominent family, Cui Jiaxin has always had a sense of superiority and is very difficult to treat."
After hearing what Mrs. Jiang said, Mrs. Qian's heart was in a state of confusion, "Such a person has his eyes set high above his head, and I'm afraid he may not look down on our sister Wei."
Mrs. Jiang nodded and came up with an idea: "In a moment, if the mother-in-law invites Sister Wei to come over, you can tell her that Sister Wei has caught wind and cold and is ill, so it is difficult to go out.
Let’s push this matter aside first and then think about countermeasures. I’ll go behind the screen to take shelter first.”
"Okay!" Mrs. Qian agreed.
As soon as the agreement was reached, Changxing led Aunt Qiao in.
After Aunt Qiao bowed to Mrs. Qian, she took out the post and gave it to Mrs. Qian, "This is our old lady's famous post. I would like to invite Miss Ning to come over and say it."
Yueniang took the post and gave it to Mrs. Qian.
Mrs. Qian opened the post, looked down, and said apologetically: "Thank you, Mrs., for your kindness. It's just a bit unfortunate that our Sister Wei accidentally caught the cold yesterday and can't go with grandma to visit the Duke's wife. It's really a shame.
sorry."
Aunt Qiao knew that what Mrs. Qian said was to evade her, but when it came to this matter, she had no other choice. She asked: "The cold is not a trivial matter. Have you asked the doctor to come over and take a look at it?"
Mrs. Qian said: "Thank you for your concern, grandma. I have already taken the medicine. They say that the disease comes like a mountain, and the disease goes away like a thread. I am afraid that I will have to recuperate for a long time after this illness."
Aunt Qiao said: "Your health is important. Listen to the doctor and take good care of yourself. In this case, I will take my leave."
Mrs. Qian left a few words and asked Yue Niang to see off the guests.
After Yueniang sent Nanny Qiao out, Mrs. Jiang came out from behind the screen.
Mr. Qian asked: "Sister, please take a look." After saying that, Mrs. Qian handed the post to Mrs. Jiang."
Mrs. Jiang took the post, looked at it, and handed it back to Mrs. Qian.
