The Anding Marquis's mansion was looking for Zhao Qingqing's whereabouts. The Zhao family and Zhao Qingqing's various properties were searched, but they couldn't find her~

Thinking of what the Anding Marquis's wife said, Zhao Qingqing's carriage went to the direction of Qingshi Lane that day, and the Anding Marquis's eyebrows and eyes were sinister~

In the Peng Shangshu's mansion.

The fifth prince was dressed as a little eunuch and was sitting opposite Zhao Qingqing.

"Teacher, you are impulsive~"

The fifth prince was different from his usual timid appearance. He looked calm and steady. At a young age, he already looked like he had a plan.

Zhao Qingqing also regretted it at this moment. Killing An Shaoyu made him feel relieved, but all his subsequent plans were disrupted.

But she didn't want to admit that she regretted it: "Without An Shaoyu and Anding Marquis's Mansion, I can still help His Highness succeed. Anding Marquis's Mansion is not the only one in the court that has insignificant military power."

"The killing weapon in my hand is the key."

Zhao Qingqing looked at the fifth prince. She knew that Minister Peng's family didn't want to protect her.

She had to convince the fifth prince.

"Teacher, what exactly is the killing weapon you are talking about?"

Even if it was the fifth prince, Zhao Qingqing was not going to let go: "When the time comes, I will naturally present it to His Highness."

"This thing is so important that it is inconvenient for the teacher to go out now. To prevent the people below from having different intentions, it is better to tell me where I am and I will take care of it."

Zhao Qingqing listened, with sadness in his eyes: "Your Highness, you had nothing at the beginning, even Concubine Xian and Minister Peng refused to help you. It was me who took you step by step to where you are today, gave you advice, and made money to buy people's hearts. Now I just killed An Shaoyu, do you want to abandon me too?"

The fifth prince's eyes dodged for a moment, and then looked at Zhao Qingqing with sincerity: "Teacher, what are you talking about? The teacher is the person I trust the most. How could I abandon you?"

"If the teacher has already arranged it, I won't ask."

Zhao Qingqing did not comment.

She killed An Shaoyu cleanly, but she still felt hurt.

She had believed in him so much, and she was sincere to him~

The Fifth Prince saw that Zhao Qingqing was in a bad mood: "Teacher, stay in Peng Mansion, I will find a way to end this matter. I left the palace secretly today, and I have to go back quickly. I will come to see you another day."

Zhao Qingqing nodded.

Shangshu Peng and his eldest son, Concubine Xian's father and brother were waiting in the pavilion outside.

The Fifth Prince went over and bowed: "Grandfather, uncle."

Shangshu Peng's temples were gray, and he quickly helped the Fifth Prince up: "Your Highness is a descendant of the royal family, and you cannot salute the old minister."

The Fifth Prince was very obedient: "Grandfather is the father of my mother, and the elder of Qi'er. It is human nature to salute my grandfather."

Shangshu Peng and his son were very satisfied and asked: "Your Highness, did Zhao tell you where the powerful weapon is?"

The Fifth Prince shook his head.

Brother Peng sighed: "I don't know where Zhao got it from, and where she put it? How much use does it have?"

Minister Peng said: "In this case, let's save Zhao first."

"Grandfather and uncle have worked hard~"

"Your Highness is too polite."

The father and son quietly sent the fifth prince back to the palace.

The next day.

Marquis Anding handed in a visiting card and asked to see Minister Peng.

Although he had just experienced the pain of losing his son in middle age, Marquis Anding was not angry, but still calm.

Minister Peng invited Marquis Anding to the reception room, and as soon as they met, he looked sad: "My Lord, please be patient and don't be too sad, it will hurt your body."

Marquis Anding frowned, unable to control his sadness: "It's unfortunate for my family, it's unfortunate for my family!"

"That merchant woman of Zhao is really hateful, but I don't know where she ran to, and she hasn't been found yet." Marquis Anding stared at Minister Peng's face while speaking.

Minister Peng did not show any expression, and only said: "It is really hateful, and she is extremely jealous!"

Marquis Anding glanced at the servants around the reception room.

Minister Peng's eyelids moved, and he ordered the servants to retreat outside the door.

Marquis Anding's expression changed: "Sir Peng, let's not beat around the bush, hand over Zhao!"

Minister Peng still had that expression, "I don't understand what you said, sir. How could your daughter-in-law come to our house!"

Marquis Anding used tea to write the word [five] on the table for the two of them.

Minister Peng wanted to deny it.

Marquis Anding interrupted: "The maid in the house saw Zhao's carriage coming in this direction."

Minister Peng cursed Zhao Qingqing in his heart: You said it should not be found.

After thinking for a moment, Minister Peng changed his tone to be frank: "My Lord, Zhao has something that Your Highness needs. When I get this thing and this woman, I will give them to you immediately."

Marquis Anding's eyes flashed: "Are you serious?"

"I will not lie to you! Marquis, this woman is just a merchant girl. If she is not useful, why would I ruin my relationship with you for her?"

"This merchant girl once mentioned that you are also optimistic about your Highness. I hope you can continue to support your Highness in the future, and don't let this merchant girl ruin the mutual appreciation between you and your Highness."

Marquis Anding's expression was relieved, as if he was relieved that he could kill Zhao in the future: "As long as Lord Peng keeps his promise, I will naturally help your Highness achieve great things."

Originally, Marquis Anding was connected to the fifth prince through Zhao Qingqing. Now that Zhao Qingqing killed Yu Ge'er, the connection between him and the fifth prince's faction was broken. He came today for two purposes.

First, Zhao Qingqing must pay for his life, and second, he wants to use this incident to get in touch with the Fifth Prince's faction.

His son is already dead and can't be resurrected. It's better to take this opportunity to gain more benefits for the Marquis's Mansion. After all, he still has two sons.

"Okay, okay, okay!"

"Don't worry, Marquis, I will naturally hand Zhao over to you when I get the things."

The two had a good conversation, and both the host and the guest were happy.

The eldest daughter-in-law of Minister Peng came to Zhao Qingqing.

"Your eunuch, Marquis An Ding, is here, but he has been sent away by your father-in-law."

"Thank you, Madam, for telling me."
