After Qi Qingxi and Qiuniang chatted about the shop, they finally got up and went to the front yard to meet Mrs. Wu, taking Qiuniang with them by the way.

As soon as Mrs. Wu saw Qi Qingxi, she stood up and greeted her with a smile: "This is Mrs. Gu, I've heard of Mrs. Gu's name for a long time, and I finally met you today."

As the saying goes, do not hit smiling people, after all, the Minister of the Ministry of War is also a rank higher than Gu Yu's official position, Qi Qingxi also slightly blessed Fushen: "Madam Wu is polite."

Qi Qingxi invited her to take a seat, and Sequoia immediately served tea.

"This is the Mingqian tea that our family bought a few days ago, and I asked my wife to help me taste it."

Mrs. Wu sighed and said: "Madam Gu has a heart, but I can't drink tea right now. Don't talk about drinking tea. Yesterday, after our servant returned to the mansion, he talked about the stupid things that my unfilial son did. , I didn’t even fall asleep all night, so I just waited for dawn to come to your house to apologize.”

If it wasn't for the fact that the housekeeper of Wu's house hadn't made such a trip first, Qi Qingxi would really have believed Mrs. Wu's words.

But as the saying goes, don't reach out and hit smiling people, Madam Wu is so sincere in acting, she can't stop her.

"My unfilial son was weak and sick when he was born, and it was hard to raise him to adulthood. In addition, our master has only had such a son for so many years, but now he has become more and more ignorant of the heights of heaven and earth, and offended Mrs. Gu. "

Mrs. Wu looked at the woman beside her, who immediately took out a peony-carved pear wood box, opened it, and handed it to Qi Qingxi respectfully.

"A little heart, I hope Madam Gu will accept it with a smile."

Qi Qingxi glanced lightly, and inside the box was a set of gold noodles inlaid with gemstones.

With his father's official authority over him, and his mother who is so well-rounded, it's no wonder that Wu Cheng dared to act so recklessly in the capital.

But Qi Qingxi is not something that can be dismissed at will.

Qi Qingxi smiled and pushed the box open: "You don't get paid for nothing, Madam don't need to be so polite."

Mrs. Wu gave the woman a wink, and the woman who was about to retreat with the box immediately understood, and continued to stand respectfully in front of Qi Qingxi with the box in her arms.

"Where is Mrs. Gu, the dog has no shape. This is a little bit of care on my part to make amends on behalf of the dog. I hope Madam will accept it."

Qi Qingxi pretended to be apologetic: "If such trivial things in ordinary times pass, then they will pass. Unfortunately, this lady came to our house before you."

Then she greeted Qiu Niang in front of her: "I wonder if Mrs. Wu knows this lady?"

Mrs. Wu looked at Qiuniang for a long time, and said with a smile: "I don't have any impression, I hope Mrs. Gu can enlighten me."

Qi Qingxi also looked at Qiuniang: "This lady is called Qiuniang. A few days ago, she went to the Wu Mansion to retrieve the shop that was borrowed by your mansion. However, the Wu Mansion is busy with affairs, and Madam may not remember who she is."

Mrs. Wu thought for a long time, and finally remembered that two days ago, the family housekeeper mentioned that her son accidentally killed someone, and their family paid hundreds of taels of silver to send the victim out of Beijing.

However, the owner's shop, which she didn't have time to deal with, had entrusted the related government office to reissue the deed and made it her private property, and opened a grocery store there.

At that time, she had bought out the woman with money and did not report it. It was written in the yamen's documents that her husband accidentally fell into the water and died, so even if the woman found it in front of the emperor, it was useless.

Thanks to her careful consideration at the time, the compensation was given in public, and she didn't say what the reason was.

So she said that she bought the shop from this woman with real money. Otherwise, who would be able to explain why the woman took her money.

This Qi family is also stupid, after such a long time, no one can do anything to her because of her previous methods, but this Qi family actually wants to use this to manipulate her.

If it wasn't for the fact that her master told Gu's family to have the emperor's backing to tell her to speak carefully yesterday, she would really be too lazy to wait on her.

Mrs. Wu was very pleased with herself.

However, she had done all her calculations, but she hadn't considered that her son was so frightened to sign the confession.

So when Qi Qingxi ordered Sequoia to hand over the confession to her, she was simply dumbfounded.

"This... this can't be written by Cheng'er."

She broke out in a cold sweat holding the confession in her hand, and then a thought suddenly popped up from the bottom of her heart.

With a sound of "tearing", Mrs. Wu tore up the confession in her hand, and smiled disdainfully: "Look at how careless I am, what did Mrs. Gu want to show me just now?"

Seeing Mrs. Wu's cunning expression, Qi Qingxi also chuckled: "I didn't expect Mrs. Wu to have a hobby of tearing paper. I still have a few sheets here. Sequoia, you pass it to Mrs. Wu so that Mrs. Wu can continue to have fun."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wu realized that what she had torn up just now was actually a fake. She took a deep breath and told herself to calm down while holding the blame in other people's hands.

Mrs. Wu stood up with a smile on her face: "Mrs. Gu, just take the shop if you want, and just ask for anything you want. If we can do it, our Wu family will never have an excuse."

Qi Qingxi picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea unhurriedly, then frowned and looked at the tea in the teacup.

She raised her head and looked at Mrs. Wu lightly: "I said at the time that the tea introduced by the guy was unreliable, but the taste is not very good, and the tea recommended by the shopkeeper is worth buying. Do you think it is reasonable? Madam Wu."

After spending so many years in the circle of officials and family members, how could Mrs. Wu not understand the meaning of Qi Qingxi's words.

This is because she thinks her words have no weight, and wants her adults to come to the door to apologize in person.

She pondered for a moment, and now this Qi has something to do with her precious son, so she had to bow her head.

OK!She admits it!

In any case, this Qi family didn't dare to do anything to her precious son, so let her family's adults handle this matter in person, so as to save her who was so humbled from being angry with this little hoof in the end.

Mrs. Wu forcefully forced a smile, and signaled the woman to put down the box in her hand: "I can't control that unfilial son of ours, I still have to let my master discipline it himself. But no matter what else, this gift of apology is still welcome. Mrs. Gu will definitely accept it, but I suddenly remembered that there was something urgent to do, so I left first."

After all, she didn't wait for Qi Qingxi to do anything, and left with her servants.

Mrs. Wu left Gu's house, but she was suffocated with anger in her heart. She didn't lose her temper for the sake of face on the way, but when she got home, she smashed seven or eight pieces of porcelain in the house to calm down a little.

In the evening, when her lord came down to the Yamen, Mrs. Wu told Wu Bin about what happened in Gu's mansion today, and the anger in her heart flared up again.

"Anyway, you are also the Minister of the Ministry of War, and you are a whole level higher than that surnamed Gu, so there is really no way to handle him?"

Wu Bin looked at Mrs. Wu and smiled wryly: "If I had the ability, I would have brought someone to his house to ask for someone yesterday, not to mention that the situation has changed now, even if there is no support for someone named Gu, I can't rely on my rank now." he."
