At night, Zhang Minqiu pushed open Guo Song's study and walked in. She didn't know what happened and felt quite uneasy. Of course she knew that the princess was also in the study. It was the princess who sent her maid to find her. There must be someone.
What a big deal.
"Husband, do you have anything to do with me?" Zhang Minqiu walked into the room and asked timidly.
Guo Song pointed to the chair next to him, "Sit down and talk!"
Zhang Minqiu glanced at the princess Xue Tao next to her. Xue Tao nodded to her, and then Zhang Minqiu sat down.
Guo Song pondered for a moment and asked: "How is Xiaoqin?"
Xiaoqin is Minqiu's niece Zhang Xiaoqin. Her father Zhang Daqi was killed and her mother remarried. She now lives with her aunt.
"She's okay. Recently, she and Yan'er are learning painting from Xiaowei!"
Zhang Minqiu felt a little strange. The eldest sister also knew about Xiaoqin, so why should she ask herself?
She became increasingly uneasy, "Husband, has something happened?"
Guo Song sighed softly, "I got the news this afternoon that Xiaoqin's mother passed away."
"ah!"
Zhang Minqiu was shocked, "Didn't she remarry? Why did she die?"
Guo Song said slowly: "The person she remarried is a member of a secret organization. This organization has been seeking your eldest brother's property. They were the ones responsible for your eldest brother's murder.
That doctor married your sister-in-law again, but your sister-in-law's money and land deeds were stored in the Baoji Cabinet. The jade pendant for withdrawing money was hidden by your sister-in-law, and the doctor never got it.
Recently, we have been trying our best to track down this organization. They were a little anxious and ordered the doctor to get your sister-in-law's money immediately. Last night, the doctor was so desperate that he poisoned your sister-in-law. The doctor was caught by a servant and was taken to the government."
Although Zhang Minqiu has always resented her sister-in-law for killing her eldest brother, she was still a little sad that her sister-in-law was really dead. After all, she was the mother of her nieces and nephews.
She lowered her head and thought for a moment and said: "Husband, I want to take my nephew and niece to Taiyuan to bury their mother?"
Guo Song shook his head, "You don't need to go to Taiyuan specifically. Your eldest brother's coffin and her coffin will be transported to Chang'an by a special funeral ice ship, so they can be buried in Chang'an! It will be convenient for the two of them to visit the grave in the future."
"Then how to deal with the murderer, and how to pass on the wealth left by my sister-in-law to my children?"
"That doctor will definitely be executed. As for the murderer behind it, the internal security forces are working hard to trace it."
After a pause, Guo Song continued: "The property left by your sister-in-law will be transferred to your nieces and nephews as long as the government issues a certificate. You don't have to worry about this. I'll send a message to Taiyuan Prefecture."
Zhang Minqiu let out a long sigh, "I really don't know how to tell these brothers and sisters about this. My brother is a little better, but Xiaoqin..."
Guo Song pondered for a moment and said: "She will know sooner or later. Find a suitable opportunity to tell her, and just say that her mother passed away due to illness."
Zhang Minqiu nodded silently, stood up and left.
At this time, Xue Tao smiled and said to her husband: "It's very cool outside, let's take a walk!"
Guo Song nodded and left the study with his wife. They walked slowly along the stone road by the lake. Xue Tao held her husband's arm, just like when they first met.
The cool breeze on the lake surface blows gently, making people feel particularly comfortable. A silver moon is reflected on the lake surface, and the lake water is rippling and sparkling.
Xue Tao sighed softly and said: "How fast! It seems like it was not long ago that we traveled to Qujiang, but it will be eighteen years in a flash. My daughter is seventeen and my son is fifteen."
Guo Song also smiled slightly and said: "At that time, did you ever think that you would become Princess Jin?"
Xue Tao shook his head, "How could I possibly imagine that? I just thought that I would become the wife of a young general."
"Then what can you imagine now about what your identity will be in a few years?" Guo Song asked again.
Xue Tao was silent. After a while, she whispered: "Husband, do you have to take that step?"
Guo Song nodded, "Some things are not up to me. They are related to the interests of millions of people. I have to take that step. Besides, if I don't take that step, once my position is taken away by others, I will
Their children and future generations will be forever devastated."
Xue Tao was startled and couldn't help but hold her husband's arm tightly. Guo Song added: "I will not pursue it deliberately, but once it comes naturally, I will not refuse it."
"I can only do my best."
"You're doing well now. You already have the temperament of being a mother to the world. In the future, you should care more about orphans. You can't just consider your own family. This time I found out that the Tangzhou Society actually collected so many orphans from all over the world and brainwashed them.
I feel very sad about being trained to be a dead soldier, so we are going to use all the money confiscated from the Tangzhou Association this time to build the largest Salesian Home in the world, specifically to adopt orphans, so that no one will take advantage of them."
"I also want to donate some wealth. I can't use so many of the shops on Xi'anmenwai Street, and Xiaowei and the others can't use them either. My parents have also returned several shops, so I'll donate half of them!"
Guo Song patted her hand and said with a smile: "Donate after the Salesian Home is completed!"
After a pause, Guo Song continued: "When you have time, talk to Minqiu and ask her to donate all of your sister-in-law's property! It's not a good thing to leave it to your children."
"I understand. I will be looking for her later and have a chat with her."
At this time, Xue Tao remembered something and said quickly: "Tomorrow, Cai Chun may have to go out for a day."
"With her grandmother?"
Under the arrangement of Guo Song, Liu Caichun's family has arrived in Chang'an and plans to stay in Xinfengxiang temporarily and move back to his hometown of Luoyang in the future.
Guo Song did this to give Liu Caichun's great-aunt a chance to return to her hometown to see. The internal guards had found her brother and the graves of her parents. It is estimated that Liu Caichun will accompany her great-aunt tomorrow.
Guo Song pondered for a moment and said, "But is her body okay?"
Liu Caichun was pregnant last year, but had a miscarriage at six months. Now that she is three months pregnant again, Guo Song is really worried about her.
"It shouldn't be a big problem. I will make arrangements. This has been her wish for many years. Let her get married!"
Since his wife said this, Guo Song no longer insisted. His wife was rich in experience and she should have made appropriate arrangements.
"Okay! It's up to you to protect her safety."
The two walked around, Guo Song went back to the study, and Xue Tao found Zhang Minqiu.
Min Qiu sat alone in the room and cried silently. It could be seen that she was not in a good mood. At this time, there was a knock on her door. Min Qiu quickly wiped away her tears and asked, "Who is it?"
"It's me!" Xue Tao's voice came from outside the door.
Min Qiu quickly stepped forward and opened the door, forcing a smile and saying, "Why is eldest sister here?"
Xue Tao smiled slightly and said: "I guess you are not in a good mood, so I came to see you."
She glanced at Minqiu's face again and said in surprise: "Are you crying?"
"It's a bit sad. Sister, please come in and sit down!"
Xue Tao walked into the room and sat down, pondering for a moment and said: "Secondly, I am also very sorry. After all, I was the one who sent them to Taiyuan..."
"No! No! No!"
Min Qiu quickly waved her hands and said: "This has nothing to do with eldest sister. If it weren't for eldest brother who likes to show off, the organization would not have targeted him. In the final analysis, it is still my fault. I should not have given them so much wealth. They have no life to bear so much wealth.
They are completely lost in their wealth."
Xue Tao nodded, "That's why I came to you. I hope you can learn a lesson and not let the next generation repeat the tragedy of their parents."
"I was thinking about this just now. We really can't let our two children be too rich. Letting them live in peace is better than anything else."
"Did you tell Xiaoqin?"
Min Qiu shook her head, "Not yet. I'll tell her in two days."
Xue Tao pondered for a moment and said: "Just now my husband told me that he is going to build the largest Salesian Home in the world to adopt orphans all over the world, so I decided to donate half of the shop to this Salesian Home. I also suggest that you give your sister-in-law
Donate your wealth to the Salesian Hospital, which will be beneficial to the two children."
Min Qiu lowered her head and thought for a moment. She sighed and said, "Sister is right. I can't let the children follow the same path as their parents. I will keep the money left by their father for them, and I will also donate their mother's wealth!"
.........
During this period, Guo Song has been paying attention to the Tangzhou Chamber of Commerce, and has somewhat ignored what happened in Luoyang. A major event also happened in Luoyang. Just three days ago, Zhu Si officially made Concubine Xiao Shu the queen.
Just when everyone thought that Concubine Liu would make a big fuss, to everyone's surprise, Concubine Liu took the initiative to go to the Yaoguang Palace to meet the Empress and was willing to obey Empress Xiao's control.
This statement of Concubine Liu was really beyond Zhu Si's expectation. He was already a little apologetic towards Concubine Liu, and he was worried that Concubine Liu would make a big fuss and make the harem restless. He didn't expect such a harmonious scene to happen.
Zhu Si was greatly moved. He favored Concubine Liu again, coaxed her a lot, and promised not to harm the interests of the Liu family. Zhu Si immediately named Liu Feng the Prince of Liang County, which was considered to be even with Xiao Wanding.
The alarm in the Liu family has been temporarily eliminated, but the risk to Prince Zhu Sui is increasing day by day, and he faces the danger of being deposed at any time.
That night, a note was secretly handed over to Prince Zhu Sui. It was a message from General Fei Xiong Qiu Jingzhong to Zhu Sui, asking him to meet at Huisi Tower in Luoyang at noon tomorrow.
