Chapter 514 Famine

Qi Ning left the palace, but she was quite excited along the way, and Gu Qinghan's figure kept lingering in her mind.

To be honest, Qi Ning didn't have much feelings for the Jinyi Marquis Mansion. Qi Ning didn't even want to see the gloomy lady, but because of Gu Qinghan's existence, Qi Ning really felt that the Jinyi Marquis Mansion had a false feeling.

Thinking of Gu Qinghan's fate, he has been looking forward to returning home as soon as possible. When he arrived in front of the Jinyi Hou Mansion, Qi Ning even felt a little excited.

Qi Feng and others returned to the mansion earlier, so the mansion had already known that Qi Ning was back to Beijing. Someone was waiting in front of the door. When he saw Qi Ning coming back, someone immediately went to report, and someone came forward and saluted respectfully.

Qi Ning entered the mansion directly and saw a beautiful figure coming towards him, with a graceful figure, which was Gu Qinghan.

Gu Qinghan wore a purple plum blossom and cicada wing gauze that was winding on the ground. Inside was a rose-scented bra with thin cicada wings. Her waist was green and soft smoke skirt with flowers, her waist was like a thin willow, her shoulders were as thin as a bun, and she was standing with a cloud bun. She was graceful and graceful. Her beautiful pretty face had a slight smile. Before the person arrived, the fragrant wind had arrived.

"Sanniang!" Qi Ning speeded up and said with a smile: "I'll go to the palace first and report to the emperor. The mansion will be full of difficulties for you in the past."

Gu Qinghan smiled and said, "I know, you'll be back safely." He came forward, looked at Qi Ning up and down, and smiled and said, "This trip, people have become much darker again. Is it hard to go all the way?"

"It's nothing to work hard." Qi Ning smiled and said, "I just wanted to fly back with my wings and meet Sanniang and the people at home earlier."

Gu Qinghan said: "I have asked someone to prepare the meal. You see, you are so busy that you can go and wash it, change into clean clothes, and we are waiting for you to have the meal."

"Would you like to see the Grandma?"

Gu Qinghan shook her head and said, "I have reported to Mrs. Tai. Mrs. Tai is going to study Buddhist scriptures recently and will not disturb you."

Qi Ning thought to himself that this old woman was really weird. If it were an ordinary old man, his grandson would go out for the first time to work on business. After leaving for so long, he would naturally meet him as soon as possible. However, the grandmother of the Marquis of Jinyi's Mansion did not meet him because she was in the Buddha's name and seemed extremely cold.

However, for Qi Ning, it was not a bad thing to see the lady. She smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go wash first." Then she went to her yard, took a few steps, looked back at Gu Qinghan, but saw Gu Qinghan lowering her head slightly, locking her eyebrows, as if she was full of worries, and a little strange. Gu Qinghan saw Qi Ning looking back at him and forced a smile.

Qi Ning immediately knew that Gu Qinghan had something hidden in her mind. She was about to ask immediately, but she didn't have to hurry up, but at this time she found that although Gu Qinghan was still mature and beautiful, her complexion was obviously much worse, and she looked a little haggard. She thought to herself whether it was because Gu Qinghan worked too hard to manage the Hou's Mansion after she left Beijing?

When he returned to the yard, Gu Qinghan had arranged for someone to prepare hot water. He was covered in dust along the way. After a hot bath, he felt comfortable all over. He changed into soft casual clothes and went straight to the elegant hall of the Hou Mansion. He saw Gu Qinghan placing food himself and walked lightly behind Gu Qinghan.

But Gu Qinghan seemed to have not noticed Qi Ning coming in at all. He was worried. Qi Ning stood behind Gu Qinghan, looking at her beautiful back, her back was as beautiful as a gourd, with a plump and unpleasant curve. Her heart was waving, and she wanted to hug the beauty from behind immediately, but she knew in her heart that Gu Qinghan was not an easy-to-dispute person. She wanted to kiss her the beauty a few times in the past, but she could only end up awkwardly. The relationship between the two was also close and not as close as before, but there was always some embarrassment.

When Gu Qinghan returned from Xichuan this time, his attitude was slightly eased, but he could not commit it again and again. Otherwise, this beautiful young woman would be really annoyed and would be difficult to deal with in the future, and both sides would only be even more embarrassed.

Qi Ning has to admit that Gu Qinghan is not only beautiful but also smart and capable, but her figure is indeed one of them, with slender waist and plump and round buttocks, exuding the seductive charm of a mature and beautiful young woman.

Although Gu Qinghan put the vegetable bowl on the table from the tray, he seemed to be wandering around the sky and was not here. He accidentally touched the soup bowl with a green onion finger. He screamed "Ouch" and hurriedly stopped. Seeing this, Qi Ning hurriedly said, "Sanniang, isn't it hot?" He went forward and wanted to grab Gu Qinghan's hand to see. Gu Qinghan didn't wait for him to touch him, immediately shook his hand and shook his head and said, "It's okay!"

These are all the food that just came out. The soup bowl was hot. Gu Qinghan's slender fingers were delicate and fair. When the soup was touched, it turned a little red. Qi Ning could see it clearly and said, "It's all red, and she said it's okay." He turned around and was about to leave. Gu Qinghan shouted anxiously, "Where are you going?"

"I'll go to Miss Tang's place and get some medicine from her." Qi Ning said.

Gu Qinghan hurriedly said, "No, I'll go by myself." He went over and grabbed Qi Ning and said, "You can use your meal first, I'll apply some medicine by myself."

Qi Ning sighed and nodded. Gu Qinghan squeezed out a smile and walked out lightly. Qi Ning went over to sit down at the table. She always felt something was wrong with Gu Qinghan and couldn't eat for a while. She went out and shouted, "Come on, where is General Manager Han? Let him come."

Han Shou of Jinyi Hou Mansion jogged over and entered the house and said, "Mr. Marquis, are you looking for an old slave?"

"Master Han, come and talk." Qi Ning waved his hand and waited for Han Shou to approach, then asked, "Is there something big happening in the mansion during the days when I left Beijing?"

Han Shou hurriedly said, "Mr. Marquis, after you leave, the third wife will handle all the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion. The old slave is there to help. Everything is in order, and nothing happens."

"Has that third old man ever caused trouble in the mansion?" Qi Ning frowned and asked, "Is his sons still here to cause trouble?"

Han Shou shook his head and said, "Mr. Marquis, they have never been here after you left." He asked carefully, "Why did Marquis ask like this?"

"Where has Duan Canghai gone? Why can't he see others?"

Han Shou laughed and said, "Hao Master, have you forgotten that before you left Beijing, they were assigned to train the Black Scale Camp. Duan Canghai and Zhao Wushang have been staying at the other end of the military camp. Duan Canghai came back twice in the middle. The third wife told them not to worry about the mansion and train their troops with all their hearts."

Qi Ning thought to herself that she was really confused and almost forgot such a big thing. She frowned and said, "I saw the third lady full of thoughts, and thought something happened in the mansion. Since there was nothing wrong, it would be better."

Han Shou hesitated for a moment, and wanted to speak but stopped.

Seeing this, Qi Ning knew something was wrong and said in a deep voice: "Why don't you say it quickly?"

Han Shou lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Marquis, the third lady is afraid she is worried about her uncle. Nothing happened to the Marquis' mansion, but something happened to her uncle on the other side."

"Uncle, Gu Wen?" Qi Ning was stunned, "What happened to him?"

"It seems to be because of a painting." Han Shou seemed to be afraid of being heard, so he leaned over to Qi Ning and whispered: "My uncle took a painting, but something seemed to have happened. Two days ago, my uncle came to the mansion and was scolded by the third wife. We didn't dare to get close. I was outside and seemed to hear that this was the case, but I didn't know much about what happened."

Qi Ningqi said: "A painting? Which one is it sung?"

Before Han Shou could speak, he heard Gu Qinghan's voice sound from behind: "Master Han, Master Han is having food, you go out first." In the voice, Gu Qinghan had already walked over and sat down opposite Qi Ning. Han Shou hurriedly lowered his head and hurriedly stepped back.

"Don't you move your chopsticks?" Gu Qinghan frowned and said, "Use your meal well, don't worry about useless things, and you can clean up after eating."

Qi Ning smiled, picked up the chopsticks, looked at Gu Qinghan, hesitated, and said, "Sanniang, what's going on with that painting?"

"What's going on?" Gu Qinghan said angrily: "It has nothing to do with you. You don't need to ask too much. Let him compensate for the crime he committed so that he won't get tired of others." At this point, his eyes were still a little red, and he didn't want to be seen by Qi Ning, so he turned his face away.

Seeing Gu Qinghan like this, Qi Ning knew that things must be quite good. She put down her chopsticks and whispered: "If something happened to my uncle, we can't ignore it. If we can help, we will naturally have to help. Sanniang, what happened? Tell me, tell me if I can figure out a way."

"There is no way." Gu Qinghan said: "If you really help, go and talk to Kyoto Prefecture and ask them to put the useless thing in the future and stay in jail for the rest of their lives." When he said this, he was so angry that he turned over, turned his back to Qi Ning, and took a fragrant squid and wiped the tears in the corners of his eyes.

"Why is it related to Kyoto Prefecture?" Qi Ningqi said, "Where is my uncle now?" He got up, walked to Gu Qinghan, and said softly: "Sanniang, don't be sad. If you have anything, just tell me, I can always come up with a way. You can easily hurt your body."

Gu Qinghan looked up at Qi Ning, tears in her eyes were not gone, and the watery Chu was moving. She bit her red lips and hesitated for a moment before saying, "He owed 60,000 taels of silver to famine. In two days, if the money cannot be repaid, he will be sued to Kyoto Prefecture, and he will have to be arrested and imprisoned."

"Sixty thousand taels of silver?" Qi Ning was stunned, "My uncle owed sixty thousand taels of silver? What's going on?"

He knew the Gu family quite well. The Gu family and Qi family were both prominent families in Jiangling at that time and had great influence in the local area. The Gu family had many shops and real estate in Jingzhou and had strong financial resources. Even today, Gu Qinghan's family is a wealthy family. Although 60,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, it is completely affordable for the Gu family.
