Mrs. Hou raised her head and looked at the door. After Shi Jingyang entered the house, she gave Aunt Han a look. Aunt Han understood and took the maid out.
Mrs. Hou asked: "Brother Le, is there something wrong when you come here so late?"
Shi Jingyang explained Qiao Xin's matter to Mrs. Hou in detail, and finally said: "Mom, the other party should have arranged for more than one person to come in. My son estimates that there are people in the inner house as well."
Mrs. Hou nodded solemnly and said, "I know about this. I'll ask Aunt Han to check it out later."
"Check it secretly first, don't make it public."
Mrs. Hou replied: "Don't worry, I understand."
Shi Jingyang thought for a moment and said, "If this person goes out, it's hard for Aunt Han to follow him. I'll ask Qingshan to assist Aunt Han."
Mrs. Hou nodded, "Okay, let Qingshan assist Aunt Han." At this point, Mrs. Hou thought of something, raised her head and asked, "Do you want to go to the palace to tell the queen about this?"
Shi Jingyang shook his head, "We can just handle these little things ourselves. Your Majesty is already tired enough with all the things in the palace. There's no need to bother Your Majesty with such trivial matters."
Mrs. Hou thought about the difficulty of the queen in the palace.
In the past, when the princes were still young, the fights in the harem were still superficial battles for favor.
Now that several princes have grown up, the undercurrents of fighting in various palaces have gradually become more intense.
Mrs. Hou sighed slightly and nodded in agreement.
After a while, Mrs. Hou asked: "Brother Le, from now on, we have to live every day with fear, right?"
After saying that, Mrs. Hou felt that the question was inappropriate and said, "I just asked casually."
Shi Jingyang did not reply to Mrs. Hou's words, but just smiled bitterly.
My aunt is a queen, has a prince under her knees, and is also appointed as a prince. It is destined that the prince's house and the prince will both prosper and suffer.
Why doesn’t my mother know this?
Mother and son already knew the current situation well.
Shi Jingyang comforted him and said, "Mom, don't think too much. The prince is kind, he is the crown prince, and he deserves our support."
Mrs. Hou nodded, "Yes, I understand."
The mother and son chatted some more about home affairs, and then Shi Jingyang stood up and left.
In Ning Mansion, Mrs. Zhao was sitting at the top of the living room, placing the teacup in her hand heavily on the table. The teacup made a dull collision sound when it came into contact with the table.
Mrs. Zhao stared at Qin Dali in the middle of the room, frowned and asked, "What did you say? I got lost under your noses?"
Faced with Madam Xiao Zhao's dissatisfied anger, Qin Dali did not dare to look directly at her. He lowered his head and replied, "Madam, yes, the eldest lady entered the Sanpinxuan teahouse and never came out again."
"La!" Mrs. Zhao slapped her hand on the table, and the teacup on the table trembled due to the vibration.
"Are you coaxing ghosts? A living person can't be found again after entering a teahouse?
Last time, people followed the Le Le Zhai teahouse and lost the person. This time, they followed the Sanpinxuan Teahouse and lost the person again. Are these people in conflict with the teahouse?"
Mrs. Zhao's sarcastic voice became louder and louder, and Qin Dali's head became lower and lower.
Qin Dali lowered his head and allowed Madam Xiao Zhao to wait, not daring to say a word in reply.
Seeing her tall nephew standing with slumped shoulders, Nanny Qin felt a little heartbroken and wanted to help him beg for mercy. Seeing Mrs. Zhao's sullen face, she swallowed her words again.
"Tell me what's the use of you. I'll give you the help of the Chiyang Gang. You can't even kidnap a little girl. What's the use of me keeping you? Pack up your bed and go to the village."
"Thump!" Qin Dali knelt down in front of Mrs. Zhao and begged: "Madam, please give me another chance. I promise to do things beautifully."
Aunt Qin was afraid that Mrs. Zhao would punish Qin Dali by going to the village, so she begged: "Madam, Dali knows that he was wrong, so please give Dali another chance."
Mrs. Xiao Zhao glanced at Nanny Qin coldly, "I don't keep waste around me. If I can't do such a small thing well, what's the use of keeping him?"
Qin Dali panicked and tried his best to defend himself: "Madam, there is a reason for missing the eldest lady today.
The eldest lady entered the Sanpinxuan Teahouse, and the younger ones followed her in.
However, Cheng Yaojin came out halfway, and we met the eldest son of Marquis Weiyuan at Sanpinxuan. The eldest son’s room was guarded by young men. The younger ones were not allowed to enter and investigate, and there was nothing they could do about it."
Mrs. Zhao's mood worsened when she heard that the Crown Prince of Weiyuan House was in charge. She raised her head and asked in a deep voice, "Is Shi Jingyang also in the south of the city today?"
Qin Dali hurriedly responded: "Back to Madam, Prince Shi is in the south of the city today, at the Sanpinxuan Teahouse in the south of the city. Prince Shi is on good terms with the second master. I suspect that Prince Shi left while protecting the eldest lady. Otherwise, the eldest lady would
It won’t disappear into thin air.”
Mrs. Zhao was furious after hearing this, and her teeth were itching with anger, not only because she didn't kidnap Ning Wei, but also because Shi Jingyang ruined her over and over again.
Mrs. Zhao became furious when she thought of Shi Jingyang protecting Ning Wei.
No, didn’t the old woman say that the engagement between Ning Mansion and Weiyuan Marquis Mansion was cancelled?
Since the engagement was cancelled, why did Shi Jingyang still protect that bitch? Could it be that the old woman lied to her?
Okay, great! The old immortal thought that she would believe it when he said the engagement was cancelled, and would no longer seek arguments from her.
"Madam, Long Wu wants to see you." A servant came in to announce.
Mrs. Zhao said: "Please come in."
The servants retreated, and after a while, they led Long Wu in. This man was exactly the man who was at the candy stall in Minghui Lane during the day.
After Long Wu saw the ceremony, Mrs. Zhao asked, "What's the matter?"
Long Wu leaned back and said: "Madam, in the afternoon, Shi Shizi of Weiyuan Marquis Mansion went to Minghui Lane. Shi Shizi stayed in Minghui Lane for half an hour before leaving."
Qin Dali listened to Long Wu's words and looked at Mrs. Zhao with bright eyes, "Madam, Prince Shi must be protecting the eldest lady when she returns to Minghui Lane. Long Wu, did you see the eldest lady return in Minghui Lane?"
"
Long Wu shook his head and replied truthfully: "I've never seen it."
Qin Dali said excitedly: "Madam, Long Wu and the others have been guarding Minghui Lane and have not seen the eldest lady return. The eldest lady must be hiding in Shizizi's carriage."
Mrs. Xiao Zhao's face was as black as ink, and she looked like a stone prince. In order to see him, Sister He chased her from the city to Qingwan. He didn't show any mercy to Sister He, but he protected that bitch at every turn.
Mrs. Zhao said to Long Wu: "I understand, you go down first."
After Long Wu retreated, Mrs. Zhao said to Qin Dali: "I'll give you another chance."
Qin Dali nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Okay, thank you, madam, for giving me the opportunity. Please give me your instructions. This time, I promise to complete the task."
Qin Dali's sworn guarantee.
Mrs. Zhao waved to Qin Dali, motioning him to move forward.
Qin Dali knelt and moved his legs, moving forward to Mrs. Zhao.
