Ji Qiu reluctantly got up and walked to the main hall. These days, Yu'er was busy helping the emperor handle official affairs in the imperial study room. She had no choice but to take part in matters in the palace.

A woman in crimson clothes was sitting upright. This woman was the wife of the Minister of Household Affairs as mentioned by Butler Ji. She was smiling and asked the maid serving tea: "Who is in charge of everything in the Zhongyi Marquis's house?" Take care of it." The implication was to ask Ji Ruyu if he had any concubines or anything.

The maid replied respectfully: "Master Hou is usually busy, and Butler Ji is taking care of everything in the house."

"Are there no female relatives in the mansion?" Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance asked again.

"Yes, the young lady is married to Da Xing, and there is also Miss Qiu in the house." The maid replied respectfully.

"Who is Miss Qiu?" Mrs. Hubu Shangshu asked doubtfully. She inquired and found out that Ji Ruyu had a sister who was married to Da Jing. Who is this Miss Qiu?

Just as he was talking, Ji Qiu and Butler Ji came from outside the door. Ji Qiu looked at the three people sitting in the hall, a woman in her 40s, a man in his twenties, and a man in his twenties. Girl, the purpose is obvious.

"Madam Shangshu, my Marquis is not at home. If you have something to discuss with Miss Qiu," the housekeeper stepped forward and said to Madam Shangshu Hubu with a smile.

Then he turned around and introduced to Ji Qiu: "Miss Qiu, this is the wife of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance."

"I've met Madam." Ji Qiu said with clasped fists, with a polite smile on his face. Although Yu'er is now a Marquis, she is Yu'er's sister and does not need to salute like an ordinary lady, but after all, Mrs. Hubu Shangshu is Elders, after all, I have no reputation or status, so there is nothing wrong with paying homage to a junior.

Mrs. Hube Shangshu looked at Ji Qiu: she must be 20 years old. Her long hair was tied up with a hairband and she was neatly dressed. She looked like a young lady, just like a maid.

The butler continued: "The one on the left is the eldest son of Shangshu Mansion, and the one on the right is the concubine of Shangshu Mansion."

Ji Qiu politely bowed his hands, walked up to the main seat, and sat down. When Ji Qiu sat down, Mrs. Hubu Shangshu looked at Ji Qiu with a hypocritical smile and asked, "Mrs. I'll just say it straight, Qiu." Miss, Lord Ji is almost in his prime years, is he engaged?"

"No, my Marquis has never been engaged." Ji Qiu said with a normal expression, feeling a little unhappy in his heart. He guessed right. He was here to introduce Yu'er to his wife again.

Hearing this, Mrs. Hu Bu Shangshu smiled happily, pointed to the girl next to her and said: "My daughter just got hairpins a few days ago, and people kept coming to the house to propose marriage. She didn't take a fancy to any of them. I was also worried about this. Lord Ji She is young and promising, and has great looks. I wonder if my little girl is so lucky."

Ji Qiu said with a normal expression: "My Lord Marquis is focused on official matters and has no plans to get married for the time being."

Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance frowned when she heard this, and the eldest son of the Shangshu family smiled and said: "This marriage will not affect Lord Ji's achievements in his career. Miss Qiu doesn't want Lord Ji to get married. You are such a big-hearted girl who is a married woman. You are now The mansion really doesn’t follow the rules and actually let a girl from the same house entertain the distinguished guests.”

Ji Qiu's face changed suddenly after hearing the words of the eldest son of the Shangshu family. Just as he was about to refute, he heard another exclamation: "You are the married girl of Lord Ji Hou!" It was the concubine of the Shangshu family who spoke.
