Rebirth of marriage

If Xie Jiu's previous guess that Zhao Huaian was infertile was true, she might know the answer to this question.

Either Yun Dai has met her biological mother, knows that they have similar looks, and is worried about being recognized in the future.

Or because the old lady was not happy with Yun Dai and worried that she would anger this unrelated granddaughter, she would rather take her to Shacheng, which is always windy and sandy.

If all these speculations are overturned and she is Yun Dai's biological child, then there is a high probability that this is the reason why she is not liked by the old lady.

Thinking of this, Xie Jiu thought of the maid who bribed the vegetable farmer earlier, "Maybe Yun Dai knew that her maid had different intentions."

Otherwise, why not let her personal maid send her back to Beijing, but instead hand her three-year-old girl over to a grown man like Qian Biao.

But in the end, she was still unprepared, and she was still transferred.

Was the person who transferred her the assassination of Qian Biao, Qian Biao himself or someone close to him?

Gu Xiao explained her doubts, "Qian Biao's father was a subordinate of the old Duke. He died to save the old Duke. In order to repay Qian's father for saving him, the old Duke raised Qian Biao in the Duke's Mansion and let him He and Zhao Huaian grew up together since childhood, and they are as close as brothers.

Qian Biao's wife was also the matchmaker for him by the old lady of the Duke of Guo. After Qian Biao got married, he moved out of the Duke's Palace. I heard that her wife still had contacts with the Duke's Palace. "

Xie Jiu suddenly thought of the noble lady who captured Cheng Cong's sister. If anyone wanted to exchange her from Qian Biao, no one would do it easier than Qian Biao's wife.

Thinking of this, she sat up straight, and the light in her eyes suddenly turned brighter.

If it were really her, many mysteries would be solved.

When Gu Xiao saw her like this, he knew what she was thinking. The words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat. Was he going to let her down?

After only a few breaths of hesitation, he held Xie Jiu's hand and said, "Qian Biao's wife did give birth to a child in the same year, but it was a boy."

boy?

The light in Xie Jiu's eyes slowly dimmed.

Then it's unlikely that Qian Biao's wife would transfer her to a subcontract, and transfer someone else's child to the Zhenguo Duke's mansion to enjoy the blessings?

Normal people would not do this kind of thing like making wedding clothes for others.

Gu Xiao continued, "However, the child got lost on the night of Qian Biao's death. Qian Biao's mother could not bear the pain of losing both her son and her grandson, and she passed away a few days later.

The Duke of Zhenguo pitied Qian Biao's wife for losing all her relatives, so she took special care of her. "

That was what the Zhenguo government said to the outside world. Now that they knew the truth, the Zhenguo government was probably feeling guilty that Qian Biao had lost his life while sending a thank-you wine back to Beijing, so it took more care of his wife.

However, Xie Jiu was unwilling to let go of any clues. She said, "We still have to carefully investigate Qian Biao's wife and Qian Biao's assassination."

Who would assassinate a lieutenant general who was sending a letter home to Beijing?Why is it such a coincidence that Qian's family members are dying and getting lost?

Any coincidence made Xie Jiu wary.

Gu Xiao said warmly, "We have sent people to investigate, and also sent a letter to my grandfather, asking him to investigate the matter of Feng Liangping's exile."

"Thank you." Xie Jiu said sincerely.

It is not easy to investigate what happened 15 years ago. In addition to manpower and financial resources, it may also disrupt many of his original arrangements.

It's all about her.

Gu Xiaoxiao said, "Why do you and I need to say thank you?"

Lin Shu suddenly felt that she was a little redundant. She wanted to get up and go outside the house. Gu Xiao had quick eyesight and handed her a glass of water, "Drink tea."

Lin Shu just stood up and sat back down again. Although Gu Xiao didn't recognize her, he treated her as his sister all the way.

She picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "Thank you."

Gu Xiao glanced at her and said, "Don't imitate your sister-in-law."

Say thank you at every turn.

The recognition was so sudden that Lin Shu choked out a mouthful of water.

Gu Xiao looked innocent, remained silent, took out a handkerchief from Xie Jiu's sleeve, and handed it to Lin Shu.

Xie Jiu watched the interaction between his cousins ​​and chuckled.

They set out ten days ago.

The old lady and Wuxin moved to Jiuxiao Pavilion to live with Xie Baoshan and his son. Wu Wanqing's eyes could already see things clearly, because she still lived in Xiaowang's mansion because she was still known as Xiaowang's concubine.

Lou Qi left the matter at Meishan to another attendant, Mudun, who followed Xie Jiu from a distance with his newlywed wife Su Mengjiao and a hundred of his subordinates.

The two hundred spies released by Xie Jiu reported back the news of the discovery of a coal mountain. After Lu Laoer handed over the matter of the coal mountain in Beast Mountain, he went to spy on the newly discovered coal mountain.

This time it was a barren and remote county. Lu Laoer took advantage of Lu Zhuo's maternal ancestor, the Minister of Household Affairs, and quickly started mining in the local area.

Lu Laosan used the money earned from coal cakes to open Jiuxiao Pavilion's shops and teahouses everywhere. Almost no one lost money, and in the end the income and expenditure were balanced.

This was something that even Xie Jiu had never imagined. In just five months after her rebirth, she had accumulated countless wealth and developed a convenient information network because of Meishan and proper employment.

Boss Lu is also developing very smoothly in the capital. Since there is no shortage of money, he has owned dozens of shops of various sizes in the capital. Most of the shopkeepers and managers remain unchanged, but these shops have secretly become Jiuxiao Pavilion's intelligence contact points.

The three brothers of the Lu family have now divided their respective responsibilities, and Jiuxiao Pavilion is becoming more and more regular.

"Girl." Lu Kang's appearance interrupted Xie Jiu's thoughts, "Letter from the capital."

Xie took the wine and opened it. After reading it, Gu Xiao and Lin Shu said, "Nihuang met Cao Chengwang two days ago."

Beggars are the easiest to keep track of. After Li Sheng and his party arrived in the capital, they subdued a group of beggars for their use. Nihuang and the Cao family were all targets of their tracking.

She looked at Gu Xiao, "Someone asked a beggar to send a letter to Nihuang, clarifying my relationship with you. Nihuang probably wants to deal with me when he sees Cao Chengwang."

Not many people in the capital knew about their relationship. The number one suspect was the emperor. The imperial edict was robbed and telling Nihuang about their relationship was his second trick to deal with Xie Jiu.

The beggar happened to be Li Sheng's man. Li Sheng returned to his original state after reading it and ordered the beggar to be given to Nihuang.

There was a hint of disgust in Gu Xiao's eyes, and he said to Xie Jiu, "I will handle this matter, you guys go to bed early."

The next day, after breakfast, the group set off in great strides.

Xie Jiu and Lin Shu shared a carriage, Cai and Hu shared a carriage.

Yes, Xie Jiu brought Mr. Hu with him.

Mrs. Hu overestimated her son's conscience. She thought that Yang Fan would take her with him as his mother no matter what happened. Unexpectedly, Yang Fan didn't have the intention at all. She had no choice but to beg Xie Jiu again.

Xie Jiu pretended to be embarrassed and refused a few times before agreeing.

Hu's return to Beijing would give his family a chance to kill each other.

"Xie Jiu." During the pause, Boss Yang found Xie Jiu again, "I'm warning you for the last time, find a way to leave Mrs. Hu behind."

Xie Jiu smiled lightly and said nothing. Boss Yang told her this countless times along the way.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Boss Yang changed his approach and warned earnestly, "When she comes home, it will bring shame on the Yongning Hou Mansion. You are also a member of the Hou Mansion, and it is your face that is being shamed. Why are you bothering?"

"I can't ignore my sister-in-law's begging," Xie Jiu said. "If brother feels something is wrong, just tell your sister-in-law yourself, or you may have other better ways to prevent her from returning to Beijing."

Boss Yang's face suddenly darkened again. He had just been pardoned, and if he threw Mrs. Hu away or killed her, it would be bad for his reputation.

It doesn't matter if a woman from behind the family does this. She doesn't need to be an official. She will have a bad reputation in the future. She just needs to stay in the house. Originally, a widow didn't have a good reputation.

But Xie Jiu didn't cooperate, so he had nothing to do with her for the time being. He had to rely on her to pay for the trip back to Beijing.

It was only before he set off that he found out that Xie Jiu's father and brother had actually gone to Yuyouguan and opened a workshop. This woman really kept things secret, and was as deep-minded as Yang Laoer.

Thinking of something, he suddenly asked in a sinister tone, "You didn't bring the Hu family back to the capital on purpose, did you?"
