Doting on concubines and destroying wives? I don’t want to be the mistress of the Hou clan anymore.

Chen Jue had no choice but to go to Gu Zhao to talk about what happened that night.

Although it feels a bit inappropriate, the Lin family is not an aristocratic family and does not have so many rules. So what if men and women sit at the same table? Isn’t it a family anymore?
While thinking about cheering himself up, he walked inside, but was blocked by Jiang Feng.

"Little Marquis, the prince is discussing something with Mr. Xie and the others." Jiang Feng said with a smile: "If you have anything, I can pass it on for you."

Chen Jue shook his head: "It's nothing serious, I'll wait for a while."

Mr. Xie is Gu Zhao's adviser, and he knows this.

There is no one in a big family who doesn't have a few staff members.

However, the environment in Chen Jue's family does not allow it. If he raises a child, he will be targeted and murdered. It is better to be alone and at ease.

Jiang Feng found a maid and asked her to greet Chen Jue properly, but he went in and told Gu Zhao to avoid making Chen Jue wait too long.

Gu Zhao also talked for a long time, and the matter was almost settled.

Xie Guangzhu also understood what Gu Zhao was going to do, but he was still a little worried. Once this matter was discovered, I was afraid that Gu Zhao would also be implicated.

"There is no need to worry, Mr. Xie."

Gu Zhao looked confident and stood with his hands behind his hands: "The broker Zhang Wu we found before can invite him to come."

"Are you talking about the person who was entrusted by Xue Chujiang?"

"Yes." Gu Zhao said with a smile: "He is so busy, so he needs to rest for a while."

"Well, he found those people and investigated them clearly. I'm afraid that this might alert the enemy."

“If you are walking up a mountain and see traces of snakes walking around but no snakes, what should you do?”

"I understand."

When Chen Jue came in, Gu Zhao was wiping his hands with a handkerchief.

"Brother Qianjun, are you finished?"

"If you have anything to say, just tell me," Gu Zhao rubbed his forehead. He was so busy that he couldn't finish his work.

"It's nothing serious." When the words came to his mouth, he started to hesitate again, unable to speak.

Gu Zhao smiled and scolded: "If Song Han sees you like this, I'm afraid he will say that you look like a little girl again."

Chen Juesheng's lips are red and her teeth are white, but they haven't grown yet. She blushes when she's anxious. Doesn't she look like a shy little girl?
That is to say, those veterans dared to say that to Chen Jue, but Chen Jue couldn't beat them, and they would not kill them if the guards took action. Chen Jue was so angry that he stared at them every time he saw them.

"You're laughing at me too!" Chen Jue glared at Gu Zhao: "Huh, you know what I'm here for? I'm here to invite you to the Lin Mansion for dinner. If you do this, I'll go by myself."

"Why did you go to Lin Mansion suddenly?"

"It's quite sudden." Chen Jue touched his chin and said, "I don't know either. Otherwise, why don't you ask my sister-in-law?"

"You and your sister-in-law are quite close."

Gu Zhao muttered, and then said: "Then let's go together."

"Are you not busy anymore?"

"It's already been arranged. Things are always busy."

Gu Zhao also wanted to know why Lin Miaofu suddenly invited her to dinner.

"Let's go then!" Chen Jue pulled Gu Zhao and said: "Sister-in-law was talking to the second princess outside, and she even gave her the cakes she made herself. Really, I haven't even eaten them." "You're in front of her. Did you tell your sister-in-law in front of me?" Gu Zhao held his forehead and understood the meaning of this meal.

"How can that be possible! Am I such an unconventional person?"

Seeing his guilty expression, Gu Zhao felt even more convinced.

As the two of them walked out, they saw the eldest prince and several officials from the Ministry of Etiquette approaching.

The two parties greeted each other and exchanged a few words.

The eldest prince came to discuss the details with the prince, so he invited two people to go with him.

Chen Jue's face was full of reluctance, and he calmed down his expression after being glared at by Gu Zhao.

"I remember that Your Highness likes to collect calligraphy and paintings. I was sorting out my late mother's belongings, and there was a picture of a night banquet. There were some moths on it. I wonder if there is anyone you know who can help repair it."

The two of them had nothing in common, so naturally they could only talk about their daily hobbies.

The eldest prince had a look of pity on his face: "If you don't mind, I do have some rough skills."

"How dare you trouble Your Highness." Gu Zhao said in surprise: "If His Highness doesn't dislike it, I might as well give this painting to you. I don't love these things either. I'm afraid that these famous paintings will be covered in dust. I might as well give you a sincere People who like these.”

"It's not appropriate to give it as a gift. Why don't I pay for it and buy it."

"Your Highness, who are you burying?" Chen Jue said with a cold face: "It's just a broken painting. If I give it to you, how can others still accuse you of forming a clique for personal gain? It's too cautious."

"Chen Jue!" Gu Zhao warned and cursed: "What nonsense are you talking about! Your Highness is thinking about us."

Chen Jue curled his lips.

The prince had already come out of his room and glanced at Chen Jue with an expressionless face: "What are you making the noise about? I heard you being the loudest from a long way away."

Chen Jue shrank his neck, his eyes full of grievances, and he simply complained non-stop: "You scold me no matter what, isn't it just a broken painting!"

"What are you talking about?" The prince looked at Gu Zhao in confusion. Could it be that the painting he asked him to help find was missing?
He looked at the eldest prince on the side again, but what he was thinking in his mind was that Gu Zhao was unreliable in his work. Could it be that he wanted to give the eldest brother a favor?
"It's a night banquet picture of my mother. It's been eaten by insects. I think His Highness likes to collect it, and I'm afraid he knows a few painters. But after thinking about it, even if it's repaired, I'm afraid it will be ruined in my hands. , why not just give it to the eldest prince."

The prince raised his eyebrows. This might seem like clinging to him. Why would he say it directly?

This is different from the Gu Zhao I know.

"It's just a gadget. Brother Emperor, just keep it."

"After all, this is something belonging to the late Madam Chiang... How good is it?"

Gu Zhao interrupted: "If it is something my mother really likes, I will naturally not give it away easily, but this painting is not well preserved and it is not something my mother loves. Giving it to the eldest prince can be regarded as me finding a soulmate for this object. Yes. Your Highness, please do not refuse."

This was what Chen Jue was most impatient about, but there was a prince present. He didn't dare to offend him, so he could only listen with a cold face.

"Then I will be disrespectful."

"Then I will deliver it to your house in two days."

After discussing with several people for half an hour, Gu Zhao and Chen Jue were able to escape.

Fortunately, Jiang Feng had asked Lin Miaofu to talk to her beforehand, so she didn't need to worry.

After getting on the carriage, Chen Jue began to complain nonstop: "The eldest prince is too cautious. Why doesn't he dare to take any responsibility? Really, I think he is better than the prince."
