Shui Ling's eyes swiped at Gong Qianyu, "It's all your fault. I still have to pretend to be a lady every day in the future?"

Gong Qianyu looked at Shui Zheran who was running away, and finally understood what his look meant.

He quickly comforted you: "My mother doesn't care about your identity at all. If she wanted to save face, she wouldn't let us get engaged."

"Besides, my mother likes you very much, you should be able to tell. Who said you have to pretend to be a lady when you marry me?"

"In the future, if anyone dares to bully you, scold him loudly. If you can't scold him, then beat him. Don't worry, I will support you if the sky falls."

Shui Ling felt better after hearing this. When she mentioned the eldest princess, she said nonchalantly: "There have been many things going on recently, and I haven't even gone to see your mother. Why don't you find some time to go see her?"

Gong Qianyu shook his head, "No, she is in the palace, and the rest of the family don't need to pay attention to her. The dignitaries will come to congratulate her when the palace is established. Then everyone can sit at the same table."

"Okay, what rank is the Marquis? What rank is the princess? What rank is your Gong Qianyu?" Shui Ling doesn't quite understand the ranks of this world.

I only know that the marquis and uncles are sinecures, the kind who have rank but no real power.

Gong Qianyu said: "Your father is the first grade, your mother is the first grade, and you are the first grade."

Shui Ling nodded, her daughter was certainly no older than her father, and there was nothing wrong with her mother and her father being equal.

She looked at Gong Qianyu, "What about you?"

Gong Qianyu smiled faintly: "It's no good, but I can deal with all officials."

"Oh..." Shui Ling thought of the word super grade, which should be used here.

"By the way, the Marquis's house should be in the inner city. Are there any vacant houses there?"

Gong Qianyu shook his head, "I don't know, let me go and find out?"

"No need, just do whatever you want, let's just make peace with the situation." Shui Ling doesn't care whether the Hou's mansion is big or not, it's good or not, just don't take over the current house.

But she didn't expect that the holy edict awarding the mansion would come down at night.

After receiving the order, Shui Zheran immediately took his father-in-law to have a feast, including all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas that the family had.

The father-in-laws were very happy when they ate. Although the ingredients were not as exquisite as those in the palace, they tasted good and were not available in the palace.

After seeing his father-in-law off, Shui Zheran ran to the front yard to look for Shui Ling, "Why is it such a coincidence?"

Shui Ling asked: "What's wrong? Did father-in-law say something?"

Shui Zheran nodded, "A duke's son spoiled his concubines and killed his wife. After receiving the royal decree, the emperor immediately ransacked their homes and exiled them, and then they were freed up for us."

Shui Ling sat down at the stone table in the yard and said, "What a coincidence. I guess that family is unlucky."

Bai Mei, who was passing by, happened to hear their conversation. She stepped forward to salute and asked, "But is it the residence of Duke Mu?"

Shui Zheran nodded, "Exactly, you know?"

Bai Mei raised her hand and touched her cheek, "The prince wanted to buy a slave as a concubine several times, but the slave had a bad face."

Shui Ling laughed and said, "Does this count as indirectly helping you get revenge...eh? Could it be related to the fact that people from the Yamen came to us during the day?"

Shui Zheran suddenly realized, "Yes, there are still things to do during the day."

Shui Ling smiled and said: "Now that the emperor and the imperial master are our friends, I think we can walk sideways in the capital."

Shui Zheran looked sideways, "It's not that easy. Although we are idle, we still have to help the emperor win over the ministers and consolidate the court."

"So it won't be easy. When the court is stabilized, we can really breathe a sigh of relief."

Shui Ling was silent, yes, if Jinse could always maintain his original intention, then it would be okay.

If things become stable later, he is afraid that the Hou Mansion will know many people and win over many officials, and then the Hou Mansion will be the next lamb to be slaughtered.

Baimei bowed and stepped back, eager to share the good news with her little sisters. It would be safe in the future.

But Shuiling couldn't be happy. How many emperors could share adversity and wealth together?

She sighed and asked, "Will your house be confiscated if you spoil your concubine and destroy your wife?"

Shui Zheran nodded, "This is a big taboo. The prince allowed his concubine to spoil his wife and killed his wife. The wife's natal family is not a soft persimmon, so of course they will sue."

"It just so happened that the emperor was short of a house. Of course he had to do this first, so he went into exile directly."

Shui Ling was thinking about another thing. The Duke's mansion must be extremely rich. What about the things that were hidden behind the scenes after the superficial things were taken away?

She is a bit eager to make a move, not because she is greedy for money, but she is obsessed with the feeling of finding treasures.

Shui Zheran knew his daughter well and said, "If you want to look for her, look for her tonight. Otherwise, no one will be able to take care of her when she is busy tomorrow. It will be very easy for people from the Duke's Mansion to go back and steal anything."

Shui Ling nodded, "I know, I'll pick up the late emperor later... What is the late emperor's name?"

Shui Zheran smiled and said: "You don't know what my name is, but now I have to change my name. From now on, she will be your cousin, called Wushuang."

"Su Wushuang?" Shui Ling asked confusedly.

Shui Zheran was speechless, "Your mother's sister's daughter is called cousin. How could her surname be Su and Yue?"

"Oh oh oh, remember." Shui Ling nodded repeatedly.

"Will you live in our Houfu from now on?" Shuiling asked.

Shui Zheran nodded, "Well, the queen must be hers, so her status cannot be too high or too low. This is enough. When she gets married, prepare a generous dowry and use financial resources to block those ministers.

mouth."

"After all, what is lacking now? What is lacking most is money. A queen who is extremely wealthy is more attractive than a young lady from an official family."

"That's no problem, we have plenty of stuff." Shui Ling didn't care at all about preparing a dowry.

Jinse squatted on the wall, "..." This girl is so generous.

Gong Qianyu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Everything has been arranged well, so you can stay in the palace with peace of mind."

Jinse sighed, "Okay, I'll leave it to you. I'll go back first."

After seeing Jin Se off, Gong Qianyu returned to the courtyard. Mo Bao glanced at him lazily and ignored him.

Gong Qianyu was very happy on the contrary. He knew that Mo Bao was a civet cat. If it didn't regard him as one of its own, it would have given a warning when Jin Se climbed up the fence.

Shui Ling saw how happy he looked and asked, "What's wrong? Did you find a treasure?"

"No... I just sent Jinse away. He saw that you didn't forget to save... Wushuang, so he went back with peace of mind." Gong Qianyu replied.

Shui Ling nodded, "Yeah." Mo Bao had already said that there was someone on the wall, but he didn't expect it to be Jinse.

"Wait until nightfall...when you come back, take me to the Duke's Mansion to see if there is anything good."

Gong Qianyu immediately responded, "Okay."

The three of them chatted for a while, waited for the moon to rise above the treetops, took Su Qin with them, and the four of them went to the palace.

With Jinse's advance arrangements, it was easy to find a place to park the coffin.
