Happy pastoral concubine

Chapter 978

Xiao Baorui agreed with Tang Huanxi's analysis.

"If Hou Fei is really the mastermind behind the case of the Yang family, then the lady needs to see Cheng Xuening again." Xiao Baorui thought for a while and said softly, "Why did the Cheng family move to Dongyang City thousands of miles away? Cheng Xuening With her good looks and virtues, she can marry into an official family, but why did she choose the Yang family? Does the Yang family hide some ulterior motives?"

"Xiao Baorui, send a letter back to the capital immediately, asking Yijin to meet King Yu." Tang Huanxi always felt that the case of the Yang family was inextricably linked to King Yu.

"it is good."

"Send someone to bring Cheng Xuening's mother and son back to the city, and send someone to take good care of them." Tang Huanxi thought for a while and said softly, "By the way, I heard that Hou Fei has already married a wife here?"

"Well, his wife is the only daughter of a wealthy family in Wintersun City. The lady wants to see her?"

Tang Huanxi nodded and smiled slightly, "I plan to invite her to a banquet, maybe I can find some clues?"

"Okay, I'll order someone to arrange it immediately."

Hou Fei's wife's boudoir name is Qingxiu, which Tang Huanxi always felt familiar.

When I saw the real person, it was instantly clear.

"Unexpectedly, the second daughter of the dignified prefect of Spring City turned into the daughter of a merchant?" The moment Tang Huanxi saw Lu Qingxiu, his eyes were full of surprise, "I don't know if Mrs. Hou still remembers me?"

Lu Qingxiu never dreamed that she would meet Tang Huanxi again in this life.

Back then when the Lu family took advantage of the Chen family, they originally thought that their father would be able to make a career in the sky from now on.

But who would have thought that there would be a concubine collaborating with the enemy and treason in the Chen family, and the Chen family would decline rapidly.

Judging the situation, Lu Jun immediately retreated bravely, saving the last bit of dignity, left Spring City, and came to Winter Sun City.

It's just that Lu Jun has always been obsessed with the prosperity of the officialdom, so he gave Hou Fei his daughter raised in his boudoir.

In the end, Lu Qingxiu transformed herself from a humble concubine into Mrs. Hou by virtue of her own abilities, and gave birth to a son for Hou Fei, completely consolidating her position.

Hou Fei is the local emperor of Dongyang City. In the past, there was Qin Xiao holding him back. Now that Qin Xiao is dead, Hou Fei is the only leader in Dongyang City.

So Lu Qingxiu enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by stars at this moment.

When he was proud, he heard that Xiao Baorui and his wife had come to Wintersun City for a private visit.

"The Empress is beautiful, how dare I forget it?" Having gone through too many changes, Lu Qingxiu is no longer as reckless as before. "I don't know what orders the Empress has for summoning my wife?"

"I just found out about your current identity by chance, so I'm just curious." Tang Huanxi smiled with a gentle expression on his face, "Come here, give Madam Hou a seat!"

"Thank you Empress!"

"I happened to be passing by Dongyang City, but I heard the news of General Qin's sudden death. I felt a little sad." Tang Huanxi sighed softly, his words were full of sadness, "I heard that Mrs. Hou and Mrs. Qin have some friendship. ?”

"Well," Lu Qingxiu raised her hand slightly, and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the handkerchief in her hand, "Mrs. To comfort my wife..."

"Madam Hou and Madam Qin are so friendly?" Tang Huanxi raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked curiously, "Does Madam know that Madam Qin has ever had any grudges with others?"

"Madam Qin is kind-hearted, gentle and amiable. I've never heard of grudges with others, why did the Empress ask this question?" Lu Qingxiu suddenly raised her eyes, and there was a hint of panic in the depths of her eyes.

"It's nothing." Tang Huanxi changed the topic with a smile, "The weather in Dongyang City is not as good as that in Spring City. Madam has suffered a lot here, right?"

"It's all a thing of the past, and the minister's wife is living a very good life now."

"Looking at Mrs. Hou's complexion, it's really good." Tang Huanxi suddenly suppressed the smile on his face, and asked with heavy eyes, "Didn't Mrs. Hou just say that she and Mrs. Qin were on good terms? Now that Mrs. Qin passed away suddenly, why Madam Hou's complexion is getting better and better!"

Lu Qingxiu couldn't help being shocked when she heard this question, and knelt down on the ground in panic.

"Empress, please calm down!" Lu Qingxiu hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said in fear, "Mrs. Qin passed away suddenly, and my wife is really sad!"

"How can a sad person look so good?" Tang Huanxi sneered and interrupted her defense. She suddenly got up and walked to her side, looking down at her, "If I remember correctly, at the time The Lu family is a loyal supporter of the Chen family, but Lu Jun is smart and retreats, even disregarding the life and death of his daughter Lu Qingshu..."

"Your Majesty, have you seen the elder sister of the minister's wife?"

"Do you still remember that you have an older sister?" Tang Huanxi sneered, "Back then in Chuncheng, you robbed me of my husband, and now you dare to join forces with Hou Fei to kill Zhongliang and deceive others! Lu Qingxiu, you are so big! Courage!"

Facing Tang Huanxi's questioning, Lu Qingxiu tried hard to hold her palm.

The painful feeling of nails cutting into the palm of her hand woke her up.

She frowned and looked at Tang Huanxi, and asked word by word, "Why is there no reason to incriminate the crime? The empress summoned the minister's wife today because she wanted to plant some unwarranted charges on the minister's wife?"

"Whether these charges are true or unfounded, no one knows better than Mrs. Hou, right?" Tang Huanxi suddenly smiled at her, and then stretched out his hand to help her up. It's a little joke, why should Madam be so panicked?"

Lu Qingxiu immediately lowered her eyes to cover the anger in her eyes.

This dead woman is just teasing herself.

"Okay, it's getting late, Madam Hou, please go ahead." Tang Huanxi looked at her and smiled slightly, "Come here, see off the guests!"

It wasn't until the moment she walked out of the garrison mansion and got into the carriage that Lu Qingxiu breathed a sigh of relief.

At that time, a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back.

Hou House.

In the study, Hou Fei frowned slightly as he looked at the figure slowly appearing in front of him, "How?"

"A showdown." Lu Qingxiu walked slowly to his side, and took out the soup that had just been cooked, "Husband, that Tang Huanxi is not a good deal, husband still needs to be careful in everything."

"Yeah." Hou Fei nodded, "I know, did you show any flaws today?"

"This concubine is deeply saddened by the murder of General Qin's family. As for other things, I don't know anything about it." Lu Qingxiu looked into his eyes and smiled lightly.
