Chapter 251
The old matriarch didn't really care about Qi Zhou's giving her peace of mind. She didn't hang around in front of her, so she felt relieved.It's just that she was about to have a good meal, and Qi Zhou came over at this time, which made her a little displeased.

"Since you are sick, you should take a good rest," the old lady said, "What are you doing here?"

Xiao Zhou said with a smile on her face: "Mother misses the old lady in her heart, and as soon as her condition improves, she rushes to greet the old lady."

"Okay," the old lady listened impatiently to these scenes, "Since you're here, let's stay for lunch."

"Thank you, Mrs. Zhou," Xiao Zhou said, "Then we'd better obey orders than be respectful."

The second young lady, Qi Anyao, rolled her eyes from the moment she entered the door. She couldn't move her eyes when she saw Yingchu's tapestry and light floral gown. She didn't like such a plain style, but she recognized the fabric at a glance When it came out, it was more expensive than the Hualing brocade she had seen in the cloth shop, and it was limited, there were not many in the whole capital.

"Grandmother, I'll help you," Qi Anyao pushed Aunt Zeng aside and held the old matriarch's arm, "Grandmother, be careful of the threshold."

The old matriarch glanced at her lightly, and let her support him attentively.

Helping the old lady to the dining room all the way, she pulled out the chair and asked the old lady to sit down, Qi Anyao said sweetly: "Grandmother, let me serve you some vegetables."

"Be courteous for nothing!" Qi Anru snorted coldly beside him.

Qi Anyao pretended not to hear, picked up the chopsticks and picked up a prawn for the old matriarch, while peeling the shell, she said: "The weather is getting colder, and soon there will be no more prawns to eat. Grandma likes to eat prawns, so eat more now." Some."

Qi Zhou said: "Isn't it? The capital is fine, and you have to wear padded jackets to the north, especially the conditions in the mines are poor. The second master and Changsheng suffered hardships there, and they still can't eat enough and wear warm clothes."

Qi Zhou said with a handkerchief to touch the corners of his eyes, choked up and said, "When I think about it, my heart hurts so much, I just wish I could suffer for them."

Qi Anyao was taken over by her, she pursed her lips unhappily, and said not to be outdone: "As soon as it rains two more times, the capital will also be cold. My clothes from last year are all worn out, and I want to treat myself like a sister-in-law." new clothes."

Qi Zhou glared at her daughter. At this time, it doesn't matter whether it is new clothes or not. Of course, the most important thing is to bring Er Ye and Chang Sheng back.

"It's not that you can't wear it if it's old. Your father and elder brother still don't have to wear it in the mine." Qi Zhou reprimanded Qi Anyao, and pleaded softly to the old lady, "Second master and the others have already suffered. Having learned the lesson, the old matriarch showed mercy and begged the empress dowager to let the second master and Changsheng return to Beijing."

"Yes, old matriarch," Xiao Zhou echoed, "the old matriarch always has a son to serve her. Many things are inconvenient if the second master is not in the mansion."

The old matriarch took two sips of soup in a leisurely manner, and said lightly: "The punishment of hard labor for half a year is an imperial decree from the emperor, and it will last a day. It is useless for you to beg me."

"In the past, the emperor was angry, but now he must have calmed down," Xiao Zhou said, "As long as the old matriarch speaks a few words in front of the empress dowager, the emperor is so filial, and he will definitely listen to the empress dowager."

The old lady didn't want to hear their noise, so she said perfunctorily: "I know, I will go to the palace to mention it to the empress dowager someday."

Qi Zhou said eagerly: "When is the next date? If it's too late, it's too late..." She seemed to realize that she had slipped her mouth, and quickly closed her mouth.

"It's too late?" The old lady glanced over, "What's too late?"

Xiao Zhou explained: "Mother means that the weather will be cold anytime later, and father and the others will suffer from the cold if they don't have time to come back before the weather changes."

"So that's how it is," Yingchu said with a smile on his face, "I thought my aunt was saying that Erye would not be in time to welcome the prime minister back to Beijing any later, and if he missed the chance to please the prime minister, he would also lose a good chance to be reinstated."

The second room offended Mu Nuanqing very much, if Mu Nuanqing complained to the prime minister, the prime minister might not be willing to see Qi Xiushen.But if Qi Xiushen was ready to greet him first, and took the initiative to confess and plead guilty to the Prime Minister, the result would be much better.

The old Duke was very angry with Qi Xiushen, and the letter sprayed him with blood. It was impossible for Qi Xiushen to rely on the old Duke to return to officialdom, so he had to turn to Prime Minister Mu for help.

The faces of Qi Zhou's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law changed immediately, from embarrassment to anger after being punctured.

"You're talking nonsense!" Qi Zhou said angrily, "I'm just worried about Second Lord and Changsheng, what's the matter with Prime Minister Guan Mu!"

Qi Anru suddenly realized, and then looked at them shamelessly: "Since it's nothing to do with Prime Minister Mu, why didn't you say it sooner or later, and came here to intercede when Prime Minister Mu was about to return to Beijing?"

"It's just a coincidence!" Qi Zhou said sarcastically, "Do you believe what Hua Yingchu said? If it wasn't because of her instigation, you and Qiao Xiyue would not have broken up. You have healed the scar and forgot the pain. Take her word for it!"

"Mother!" Little Zhou pulled down her sleeve in disapproval.

Seeing Qi Anru's pale face in an instant, Qi Zhoushi snorted happily, it's fine for her to be angry with the old matriarch, why should she be scolded by a junior.

Yingchu's eyes sank, but the smile on his face became brighter: "Auntie wants to plead with the Empress Dowager, why bother grandma, I will go to the palace to see the Empress Dowager in a few days, and I will definitely help my uncle and second brother Good words."

Qi Zhoushi looked at her suspiciously, not believing that she could be so kind, but he just said something bad about her.

At this time, the eldest lady Qi Anlin said in a low voice but seriously: "If sister-in-law can really save father and second brother, I will definitely remember sister-in-law's kindness!" After a pause, she said not very confidently, "Father and brother Second brother will definitely miss sister-in-law too."

Yingchu laughed.

Qi Anlin immediately blushed and bowed her head, feeling a little embarrassed, she was the most silent person at home, she probably didn't care if she remembered the kindness of her sister-in-law.

"Okay, sister, don't worry, I will do my best." Yingchu said.

Qi Anlin raised her head sharply, and looked at Yingchu gratefully.

Although Xiao Zhou also suspected what Hua Yingchu was up to, she still smiled and said: "Sister-in-law is willing to help, that would be great, thank you, sister-in-law!"

Little Zhou knows that they are not welcome here, and now that she has achieved her goal, she wisely finds a reason to leave.

The second young lady, Qi Anyao, lingered and didn't want to leave. She was still thinking about the new clothes. In the end, it was Qi Zhoushi who pinched her severely, and she followed away aggrieved.

As soon as the people left, Hua Yu couldn't help asking: "Sister, why are you helping them, the second lady was still soliciting right and wrong just now!"

Qinghe glanced at the old matriarch, seeing that the old matriarch did not show any displeasure, so he was relieved.After all, this is a family matter of the Qi family, although Hua Yu has no intentions, he manages it leniently.

"Xiao Zhou's saying is true, the second master is not at home, some things are really inconvenient," Yingchu smiled slowly, "He is not at home, who will bear the prime minister's anger?"

Qi Zhou's and Xiao Zhou's thought was simple, how could it be so simple to please Prime Minister Mu? If it were Qi Xiushen before he was dismissed, it would have been easier to say, now Qi Xiushen is not so valuable.

Moreover, even if Prime Minister Mu is willing to help, he has to ask her if she agrees.

It will be even more exciting when Qi Xiushen hits a wall and jumps over the wall to bite Prime Minister Mu a few times!

The old matriarch pondered for a moment, and said: "I thought they hadn't learned enough lessons. Since you have this level of consideration, let them come back."
