"What did mother say?" After eating dinner, Qiao Gu was worried that Gu would have difficulty digesting it, so she had someone boil some tangerine peel and hawthorn water and bring it to her.

Mrs. Gu flipped the lid of the cup, "Whatever we can, we can't let people freeze to death."

He took a gentle sip and handed the cup to Grandma Jin, "There's too much rock sugar in this. It's too sweet."

Then he smoothed the corner of his clothes and said, "I asked someone to send two more pieces of linen and some cotton wool. Nothing will happen."

If you die, you are not allowed to wear mourning?

However, she didn't say it was just to show off. Madam gave her something, so as not to make people jealous, she just followed the rules.

While the two were chatting, the second concubine happened to come over, so Qiao Guxin withdrew.

Take out the spices that haven't been mixed yet, and be sure to add them more heavily this time.

In the afternoon of the next day, Shen Qiuhe received the secret message in the study. While he was looking at the sand table, Wang Si hurriedly opened the door and came in, "Master, I'm afraid the girl from the Zheng family is not doing well."

Yesterday, Shen Qiuhe gave Zheng a chance, but Zheng didn't send anyone away at all. It seemed that she was confident.

Shen Qiuhe sent someone directly to the Household Department to investigate early this morning. There was some conflict between the Hou Mansion and the Household Department, and they would not go the way of the Household Department, so Shen Qiuhe was confident that he would be able to find out the details first.

This afternoon Wang Si brought news.

Shen Qiuhe burned the secret letter and looked up at Wang Si. Wang Si gasped and reported what he had found out. Because he felt something was wrong, he hurriedly reported it to Shen Qiuhe.

Come here to ask for permission, should you stop the Hou Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion? If those two houses also get the news, it will be terrible.

While Shen Qiuhe was still thinking about it, the person next to him said that Mrs. Houfu had handed the post outside the door and people were already waiting outside.

"I'm afraid it's too late." Shen Qiuhe asked Wang Si to collect the sand table. "Send someone to go to Suzhou and Hangzhou again. If nothing is found, I have to go there myself."

Seeing Shen Qiuhe's expression, Wang Si guessed that this case must not be simple.

After all, domestic matters are all trivial matters, and court matters should be dealt with first.

Mr. He had a cough the day before yesterday. He thought it was simply a discomfort in his throat. The cough got worse last morning. Mr. He saw something was wrong and asked the doctor to get medicine quickly.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of licorice in the house now.

When Mrs. Zheng came back, she saw that Mr. He was ill. She didn't mention how much she had been wronged by Qiao Guxin, and she just served Mr. He untiedly.

After all these years, Mrs. Zheng has worked hard without any merit. Mr. He finally softened her heart and said, "You should take a rest, I'm fine."

Mrs. Zheng sat on the edge of the cave and shook her head, "My biological mother is not blessed, and she is the closest person to me. I also know that what I do is not decent, but no matter what, I always hope that the whole family will be well."

Mrs. He wiped the corners of her eyes, "I still remember the way you looked when you first came in. Our Shen family owes you."

At that time, the Zheng family was in the prime of life, with a smile even brighter than Qiao Guxin's. She had just left the court and had no thoughts as she did now. Even her eldest son praised her for her kindness.

The two of them were in harmony, and the husband and wife were in harmony, as if it was just yesterday.

Just as I was reciting it, the person below said that Mrs. Gu was here.

Mrs. Zheng opened the post and took a look. She didn't say much this time. She just sighed, which was enough to explain everything.

If there are patients at home, we always avoid having people come over in the afternoon. This is a rule set by our ancestors.

Mrs. He stood up and said, "Go and ask Madam Hou to come in."
