Chapter 146: The Eve of Marriage

After all, if you go to the Duke's Mansion, you will definitely not be as comfortable as in the Marquis Mansion.

It's just that both girls are loyal and willing to follow Qiao Guxin to the Duke's Mansion. Seeing their resolute attitude, Qiao Guxin had no choice but to follow them.

The wedding is getting closer and closer, and the Gu family is getting busier and busier.

On the first day of February, the Gu family sent someone to pick up Ning Shunhou.

Qiao Guxin got married, and Ning Shunhou was still alive after all, so it would definitely not work if he didn't come forward.

However, when he came back, the Gu family didn't make any grand arrangements. He just had people carry him in on a small sedan from the side door, so as not to be seen by outsiders. Ning Shunhou was just like a banker in the village.

Ning Shunhou changed his clothes from the house and went to see the old lady first.

The old lady was lying on the couch. When she saw Ning Shun waiting, tears fell down instantly, "You're back? It's good."

Didn't ask much.

Ning Shunhou knelt in front of the old lady and only said that he was unfilial, but did not say a word that he would not leave when he came back.

The old lady is in poor health, or maybe she doesn't want to see Ning Shunhou, and she's afraid that the more she talks, the angrier she will become, and that she won't be able to survive even Qiao Guxin's marriage. What should she do?

After coming out of the old lady's yard, Mrs. Gu had to take Ning Shunhou to sit in the front yard, where her aunt and children were waiting to meet her.

"Are you okay?" Ning Shunhou stood beside Gu, opened his mouth and thought about saying a few words, but when he opened his mouth, he realized that he was very unfamiliar.

It was as if the two people were strangers who were not familiar with each other.

"Everything is fine." Mrs. Gu nodded, no longer as hysterical as before.

Once he asked and answered, there was nothing more to say.

When Ning Shunhou entered, everyone stood up.

Qiao Guxin raised her eyes and saw that Ning Shunhou had lost a lot of weight and his complexion was very poor. He looked like he was just recovering from a serious illness. The clothes left in the Hou's mansion were also too big and they didn't fit him no matter how he looked.

It’s also dark in Ningshun. It’s such a winter and I don’t know where it gets the sun?

"I have met my father, Lord Marquis." Everyone bowed their heads slightly and saluted in unison.

After sitting down, the two aunts couldn't hold it back and finally shed tears. They shed tears for their poor self, because their husband was right in front of them, but it had nothing to do with them.

"I see that you are all fine, so I feel relieved." Ning Shunhou scanned the crowd and finally said this.

Everyone's heart felt a little cold, and they didn't know how Ning Shunhou could tell that they were all fine?

Qiao Wenqing immediately stood up and said, "Father, I still have official duties to attend to." After saying that, he glanced at Qiao Guxin, who understood and left.

As soon as Qiao Wenqing took the lead, Qiao Wenbing and Qiao Wenzhi also left.

After not seeing each other for several months, father and son have nothing to say.

Gu coughed twice and retreated on the pretext of feeling unwell.

The two aunts looked at each other and stood up.

Soon, only Ning Shunhou was sitting in the main seat, seemingly alone.

As soon as he sat down, the whole afternoon passed.

Qiao Wenqing was actually not busy, but he was too lazy to look at Ning Shunhou. He was even afraid of hearing what Ning Shunhou said about Qiao Xunfeng. No matter whether they were doing well or not, he didn't want to know.

"Sister, let's play two games?" I heard from Qiao Wenbing that Qiao Guxin was a superb chess player and had never had time. It happened to be that he had free time today and played two games with Qiao Guxin.

"What's so difficult about this?" Qiao Guxin responded with a smile.

The two of them went to Qiao Wenqing's house together, sat down, and soon got into the chess game.

The greatest respect for your opponent is actually to go all out.

In the first game, Qiao Guxin narrowly won.

It was said that he won by a narrow margin, but it was just because the chess game lasted a long time. In fact, Qiao Wenqing was in a desperate situation.

Qiao Wenqing sighed again, "Sister is the real hero."

"Don't be like Wen Ting, who is full of nonsense." Qiao Gu smiled heartily. After sitting for a while, his throat felt a little dry, so he picked up the teacup. He was so absorbed just now that he really didn't feel anything.

While the two were chatting, the person below suddenly came over and said, "Master, Mr. Chu has sent a rush of eight hundred miles and has entered the palace."

"What?" Qiao Wenqing stood up quickly.

Anyone who can send this 800 miles urgently must have done something serious.

Fearing that the case had been concluded, Chu Hanyin didn't even have time to send a letter to Qiao Wenqing and the others, but sent it directly to the palace, which shows the seriousness of the matter.

Qiao Wenqing couldn't sit still, so he immediately asked someone to take his cloak and wanted to enter the palace.

Just at this time, Rosary also came over, saying that the people from the escort agency were back and that Mr. Chu had a letter to deliver to the Hou Mansion.

Qiao Wenqing quickly asked someone to bring it over, and opened it directly without caring about who the letter was for.

Chu Han led the people there to follow the methods negotiated by the capital. He conducted overt and covert inspections, that is, he inquired from the married woman, and finally found out.

Sure enough, the truth is just as what Juzi said, the bully committed all kinds of evils, but the officials protected him and could not touch him.

Chu Han obtained the evidence, directly mobilized the people from Dali Temple, and interrogated the relevant people overnight, but who knew that someone would actually rob the dungeon, and they were like no man's land in the important place of the Yamen, which shows the bad and arrogance of these people.

Chu Hanyin immediately ordered the city to be closed down. No matter how many officials were involved in the case, which needed to be verified, the perpetrator must not be released and allowed to go unpunished.

Just after giving the order, Chu Hanyin was assassinated. Now he was protected by people from Dali Temple, so he quickly had the letter sent to the court, but the confession was escorted to the capital by people from the Escort Bureau.

The bully had the courage to break into the Yamen. It is not clear who is behind him, but the garrison will definitely come after the city gate is closed. If the garrison is bad, then this testimony may not be spread, because it is clearly involved.

Two officials, so Chu Hanyin made two preparations to prevent those people from being forced into a desperate situation.

Qiao Wenqing was horrified when he read it. In today's peaceful and prosperous times, there are such courageous people.

But now that the news has been sent to the capital, those bullies can be dealt with as rebels. The imperial court will send military camps to suppress them. Anyone who dares to obstruct will be punished!

This time, Chu Hanyin tore a hole in the case and made great contributions to the country.

But now, what Qiao Wenqing is most worried about is Chu Hanyin's safety.

I wonder if someone assassinated him, but was he injured? Or was he seriously injured, and was his life in danger?

Qiao Guxin saw that Qiao Wenqing was a little panicked and took a deep breath, "This matter is a blessing among misfortunes. The imperial court will definitely send troops to suppress it."

As long as Chu Hanyin could reach the court's military camp alive, he would be saved.

After making up his mind, Qiao Guxin asked people from the escort agency to stay and carefully investigated the situation there. Then Qiao Wenqing immediately went into the palace to meet with Dong Gong and begged Dong Gong to give the order as soon as possible.

After sending Qiao Wenqing away, Qiao Guxin stood on the doorstep and thought carefully. The mountains were high and the roads were far away, but there was nothing he could do.

Nowadays, the fastest person to deliver a letter has to use the post office. The bully has been arrested, but he was kidnapped. It must not be because of any loyalty. The people behind him must be afraid that he will confess something that should not be said.
