The general's wife is pretending to be weak again

Chapter 230
After a while, the carriage arrived at Dingguo's mansion.

Gao You and Treasurer Gao got off the carriage, Treasurer Gao looked towards Duke Dingguo's mansion, and saw that the gate was guarded by servants, and the servants of the Duke's mansion all entered and exited through the corner gate.

Occasionally, a few well-dressed stewards would come out, look at their demeanor, just like the elders, surrounded by a few servants.

Shopkeeper Gao was very envious.

"Don't look around." Gao You warned in a low voice.

Shopkeeper Gao lowered his head and followed closely behind Gao You.

Gao You led shopkeeper Gao to the corner door.

The gatekeeper at the corner gate also knew Gao You, so he let them in.

From time to time, I would encounter one or two questioning stewards. When Gao You said that he was delivering the account book for the second lady, the attitude of those individuals suddenly became more respectful.

This made Shopkeeper Gao secretly amazed.

The two walked for a long time in Duke Dingguo's mansion before reaching the second room.

After entering the doorway of the second room, shopkeeper Gao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and finally arrived almost.

Unexpectedly, it took almost another cup of tea to reach the so-called Second Miss's yard.

The maidservant at the door led the two of them into a wing room.

"Take a break, both of you, I'll report to Second Miss."

After finishing speaking, the servant girl went out without forgetting to close the door.

Shopkeeper Gao looked at the furnishings in the room, and saw that on the Duobao Pavilion, there were even ancient relics from the previous dynasty!

His eyes widened. Putting such a valuable thing in such a conspicuous place, is this the style of a rich family?
"Don't look around later!" Gao You warned.

Shopkeeper Gao nodded, "Don't worry, I know the seriousness."

The two of them didn't wait long, when the sound of "Second Miss" arrived from outside the house, Gao You hurriedly pulled the shopkeeper Gao to kneel down.

The two lowered their heads.

There was only a ringing ring, and a gust of fragrant wind blowing through the tip of the nose, someone had already passed the two of them, walked behind the screen and sat down.

Then Mo Zhu got Gao You and shopkeeper Gao to get up, and ordered someone to bring tea.

"Why did you personally deliver the ledger today?" Mu Qingyu asked.

It stands to reason that Mu Qingyu doesn't need to come here in person, he just needs to send someone to take the account book.

But when she heard that Gao You had something to tell her, she came here in person.

"Miss, please look at this swing." Gao You took out a swing from his bosom.

Mo Zhu came out, took the step shaker, and walked behind the screen.

Mu Qingyu looked at this step, the craftsmanship of Diancui was gorgeous and exquisite, but there were quite a few of them in her place.In comparison, this Cui is not outstanding.

Just as Mu Qingyu wanted to ask questions, Gao You said first, "Miss, please take a closer look, there are words engraved on this swing."

Mu Qingyu looked carefully again, and sure enough, he saw the words engraved on the corner of Bu Yao.

It was a "Qin" character with beautiful handwriting.

Mu Qingyu recognized it at a glance, it was Qin's handwriting.

Her eyes were slightly red, and the hand holding the Bu Yao trembled slightly, and it took a long time to find her own voice.

"Where did you get it?"

"My little cousin got it from a lady by chance," said Gao You, pushing the treasurer Gao, "Hurry up and tell the second lady what happened today. , don’t hide anything.”

Shopkeeper Gao told the whole story of what happened from Mrs. Zhang to the pawn shop today.

It just concealed the fact that he and Gao You often joined forces to make money.

Mu Qingyu listened patiently, and waited until Shopkeeper Gao finished speaking before asking: "That Mrs. Zhang, do you know where it came from?"

"The little one heard her accidentally mentioning that she is the wife of Yuanwailang's family. The little one doesn't know which Yuanwailang it is."

Mu Qingyu tightened her fingers, yes, it's that Zhang Shi.

Mrs. Zhang has a close relationship with Wang Yueniang's mother and daughter. The Qin's things that she got in her hand were not from the hands of Wang Yueniang's mother and daughter.

"Did she say that the jewelry she exchanged was going to be used for something?" Mu Qingyu asked.

Zhang's replacement of jewelry in such a big way must have bad intentions.

"The little one seems to have heard that the lady is going to add the jewelry she exchanged to someone's dowry."

Mu Qingyu remembered the day of the birthday party, Zhang shi deliberately avoided the crowd and went to Mu Qingxue's place.

Her behavior made it easy for people to associate her exchanging dowry with great fanfare with Mu Qingxue.

But regardless of whether it was for this reason or not, both of them did something wrong to the Qin family, and Mu Qingyu would not let this matter pass easily.

"Mo Zhu, report to the officer." Mu Qingyu said calmly.

From her tone, Mo Zhu heard the eerie calm before the storm.

"Miss?" Mo Zhu hesitated.Going past Mrs. Mu and Mrs. Fang to report to the officials might make those two angry.

"You go to an official first, I have my own idea. Remember, don't let other people in the house find out." Mu Qingyu said.

Having said so much, Mo Zhu stopped talking, turned around and left.

Gao You and shopkeeper Gao were sitting on pins and needles, and they didn't expect to get involved in a lawsuit. This was not the purpose of their trip.

"Cousin, what should we do?" Shopkeeper Gao asked in a low voice.

Gao You calmly shook his head slightly.

After a while, I heard the person on the other side of the screen speak again.

"I'm going to delay the two of you for some time today, please sit down first. Miao Xiang, let the kitchen bring some snacks." Mu Qingyu said politely.

Gao You and the two hurriedly said they didn't dare.

Mo Zhu's legs were fast, and he brought the official messenger here in a short while.

These rooms near the door are specially used for receiving guests.Let the officials come here and be seen to report to the Fang family, Mu Qingyu also has something to say.

"Miao Xiang, together with Mo Zhu, let's remove the screen." Mu Qingyu's voice sounded from behind the screen.

Mo Zhu stepped forward, together with Miao Xiang, moved the screen aside.

Behind the screen, Mu Qingyu had already put on a veiled hat, and was sitting dignifiedly on a chair.

Seeing the official messenger come in, the veil hanging from the edge of the veiled hat trembled slightly.

"Master Xu?"

Xu Yuzhou walked up to Mu Qingyu, cupped his hands and saluted, "Second Miss, we meet again."

Due to the presence of Xu Yuzhou, otherwise Mu Qingyu wanted to ask Mo Zhu, why did he invite him?

What she wants to do is just an ordinary official.

Letting Xu Yuzhou come is an overkill.

"Second Miss, what's the matter, tell me directly." Seeing that Mu Qingyu hadn't spoken for a long time, Xu Yuzhou took the initiative to speak.

That being the case, Mu Qingyu stopped coddling and spoke directly.

"I would like to ask my lord to do me a favor."

"Second Miss, please tell me."

"To be honest, my mother's dowry has been controlled by others a few years ago, and many items in the dowry were left outside. Today, someone actually took a few pieces of jewelry from my mother's dowry to the pawn shop and pawned them. The guy found it."

Xu Yuzhou couldn't help but looked up at Mu Qingyu, but was blocked by the veil, unable to see her emotions clearly.

Mu Qingyu's tone was flat, as if he was talking about today's weather.

Xu Yuzhou only felt sad, how much wind and rain did he have to go through before he could say these words calmly.

The dignified second lady of Dingguo's mansion will also be bullied by people in places where no one sees her.

"Miss, don't worry, Xu will definitely find out the villain behind it." Xu Yuzhou said firmly.

"Don't bother your lord, I already know who it is."
