Zheng's body swayed a little. Without He in front of her, she would not dare to be presumptuous in front of Shen Qiuhe.

His face changed slightly, the handkerchief in his hand stirred slightly, he raised his head and glanced at the people from the Hou Mansion standing next to him, then lowered his head again, "This is natural." After saying that, he quickly called for people to take Shen Chongyuan back.

Qiao Wenbing looked at Zheng's expression and felt that something was wrong.

However, she didn't ask much. Zheng was afraid of Shen Qiuhe. As long as Shen Qiuhe stood by Qiao Guxin's side, she wouldn't be able to make any waves.

Everyone resumed their joking and went back to wash their hands before serving the food. This meal was brought from the big kitchen, but it was already prepared in the small kitchen, and the dinner was ready to be cooked.

Shen Qiuhe glanced at Qiao Guxin and saw that Qiao Guxin had no expression or utter a word. Then he withdrew his gaze and chatted with Qiao Wenbing.

On the contrary, it is a rare harmony.

After lunch, it was naturally time for the people from the Hou Mansion to leave. Qiao Guxin kept watching their carriage disappear before turning around and walking back.

"So reluctant to let go?" Shen Qiuhe folded his hands in front of him and said quietly behind him.

Qiao Guxin turned around and glanced sideways at Shen Qiuhe, then looked at Wang Si, "I don't know what's going on with my mother. When you have time, go ask the doctor and see what we need to do."

Hearing Qiao Guxin mention the He family, Shen Qiuhe snorted beside him, "You have such a mouth, it would be a pity not to become a debater."

Originally, Shen Qiuhe had entertained the people from the Hou Mansion nicely, and Qiao Guxin should have said thank you, but as soon as her parents left, she immediately fell out. When she mentioned the He family now, she was reminding Shen Qiuhe that the He family was still there. It is really unfilial for him to smile so cheerfully even though he is sick.

Qiao Guxin pursed her lips and said nothing. She just took a few steps forward and suddenly chuckled, "Isn't Master Shen not easy to scheme with?"

Shen Qiuhe actually used some strength to pull Qiao Guxin in yesterday. Qiao Guxin's arm is still red. If this matter is known to her mother-in-law's family, no matter what the final result is, just what He said In that case, Mrs. Gu would never be able to endure it!

Your son was there to make the decision and refused to let him go, but you mocked my daughter as a slut. How could this be true in the world?

As Shen Qiuhe said, he was indeed tired. There was a lot of chaos at home. If his mother-in-law continued to take part in the trouble, he should stop being an official and just spend all day debating trivial matters at home.

Shen Qiuhe naturally clasped one hand behind his back, "It's not good for people to be too smart. If you think this is the dignity I give you as your real wife, you will feel comfortable and I will live a happy life. Isn't this a win-win situation?"

While they were talking, the two of them had already returned to the main hall. Qiao Guxin was sitting on the upper right hand seat, looking up at Shen Qiuhe, with mockery in his eyes, "I just remind Mr. Shen to always keep a ruler in your heart."

How to deal with this matter must always be clear, otherwise the two families will not be able to end the dispute.

After walking all the way, Qiao Guxin was also tired, and her throat was a little dry. She picked up the tea next to her and took a sip. She waited until her throat felt more comfortable before continuing, "How much silver is Mr. Shen's monthly salary this month?"

This topic jumps too much. Shen Qiuhe was stunned for a moment. He never expected that Qiao Gu would suddenly ask such an intimate question face to face. Why?

Seeing Shen Qiuhe's puzzled expression, Qiao Guxin immediately sat up straight and said, "Master Shen is probably also a fan of fireworks. We have a small kitchen here and rest in the courtyard on weekdays. The servants need money for their food, clothing, housing and transportation. And Mr. Shen even has to take care of the main house, so I have to be aware of it, why don't you let me use the money from the dowry to supplement the family income?"

Shen Qiuhe's face immediately darkened. He was now the prime minister of Dali Temple. He had no concubines in his family and only the top master, how could he afford to support him?

"You don't have to worry, I, Shen Qiuhe, will not be reduced to a weakling." His reply became even more blunt.

Qiao Guxin patted his heart, acting as if he didn't have to worry anymore.

After he calmed down, Qiao Guxin's expression returned to normal, "However, Mr. Shen is not a householder and does not know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. He will not be extravagant and wasteful in the future. Especially last time, one person asked the kitchen to prepare more than a dozen dishes. I think this is inappropriate. .”

Hearing that Qiao Guxin dared to mention it last time, Shen Qiuhe opened his mouth to say, "It's not because of..." He swallowed it back halfway and pointed at Qiao Guxin several times, "You are really awesome!"

Now the Duke's Mansion is so poor that he can't even afford food? It's a terrible sight!

After saying that, he stood up immediately. If he continued to chat with Qiao Guxin, he felt that he would get angry no matter what.

Seeing Shen Qiuhe leave, Qiao Guxin pouted at the side. Originally, all her family members had left, and there was no need for Shen Qiuhe to act. Why did Shen Qiuhe go back to his house? He should have been sent away earlier, earlier. Save worry.

I gave Qiao Wenzhi and the others this round, just in time to eat, so they drank a few sips of water and then lay down to rest.

As for asking Wang Si to ask the doctor, she didn't really want to know. After all, they were still under the same roof now, so she had to get through it in order to save face.

That's all.

Shen Qiuhe spent the whole morning with the people from the Hou Mansion, and had no time to rest when he returned to the study. In the morning, some official business was sent from Dali Temple, and Shen Qiuhe just opened it to take a look.

As for the He family, after Wang Si asked, he definitely could not go to Qiao Guxin's yard again, so he came to report to Shen Qiuhe.

Just as Shen Qiuhe thought, He was actually angry.

But Shen Qiuhe had no other way to do this. Yesterday, He did indeed go too far, and his words were too unpleasant. Even Shen Qiuhe's face felt uneasy.

At this moment, we can only let the doctor He Shihao take good care of her, and there is no other way.

In the afternoon, when Shen Qiuhe had just finished handling his official duties and was about to take a rest, Wang Si opened the curtain from the outside and came in. His face was gloomy and his voice was very low, "Master, please keep an eye on Ning Shunhou. Today the Marquis is leaving the house." , has already reached the place he wants to go."

As Shen Qiuhe saw, there was indeed a problem, "Master Hou, you didn't go to understand the people's sentiments at all, but went to the outer room."

Then he asked his subordinates to tell Shen Qiuhe all the information they found.

Shen Qiuhe opened his eyes wide in disbelief. He never expected that the dignified Ning Shunhou would be entangled with an actor. Forget it, why would he abandon his family and son and spend the night with an actor outside?

It's simply ridiculous and ridiculous.

Shen Qiuhe met Qiao Xunfeng several times, but never took it to heart. She was a concubine with a low status. Even if the master took a fancy to her status, she would not be able to stand out. It might make Ning Shunhou abandon everything to be with them. , it is definitely not simple.

Shen Qiuhe pursed his lips tightly, and something gradually became clear.

After a while, he raised his hand and waved, signaling Wang Si to leave.
