More than 300 people had finished checking, and it was already afternoon.

The result was of course nothing gained, and the "thief" was not found.

The emperor's displeasure was visible to the naked eye, and his face was frighteningly dark, but even though he was unwilling to do so, he had no choice but to dismiss everyone.

Seeing Mrs. Gong staggering with Gu Gu's support, Bu Fengli's eyes moved slightly and he walked over holding Qing Ning.

Realizing that he was going to greet Madam Gong, Qing Ning quickly twitched her hand, trying to pull it out of his palm.

Unable to do so.

He held it tight.

Qing Ning just winked at him and signaled him to let go of her.

Someone's daughter had just died, and if he brought another woman to show affection in front of her, wouldn't this be a knife in her heart?

What's more, he is still such an old man, how can he bear it?

"mother in law."

But Bu Fengli ignored it completely.

Seeing that Mrs. Gong had stopped in response to his call and slowly turned around, Qing Ning had no choice but to give up.

Bu Fengli bowed slightly, and Qing Ning followed suit.

Mrs. Gong's face was slightly pale, her lips were pursed tightly, her eyes paused on the hands held by the two of them, and then she glanced at Bu Fengli.

He said lukewarmly: "Fourth Prince."

Bu Fengli raised his eyelids slightly, glanced in the direction of the emperor, and then glanced at the palace lady.

He spoke slowly: "Don't worry, mother-in-law, everything is fine."

Madam Gong was startled for a moment, as if she had reacted to his words. Immediately, her eyes narrowed, and there was a faint excitement in her eyes, but she was finally suppressed.

Without saying anything, he turned to look at Qing Ning again.

Qing Ning curled her lips and gave her a reassuring look.

Madam Gong seemed a little surprised by her actions, her eyes darkened as she stared at her, with a touch of inquiry and doubt in her eyes.

Qing Ning suddenly felt a heavy weight on her hand, and Bu Fengli suddenly shook her hard.

Inexplicably, she turned to look at him, only to see him looking in the direction of the emperor in front of him, and reminded her in a low voice: "Speak."

say?

Qing Ning was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant. After a moment of reaction, she realized that he was asking her to quickly speak to Gong Qianmu's mother while the emperor was not looking.

I was really unprepared. I didn’t know what to say. Apologize? Say I’m sorry?

Too bitchy, right?

Holding her son-in-law's hand, they both stood in front of her and said sorry to her. It didn't look like an apology, but rather like a deliberate rant.

Seeing that time was running out, I couldn't think of what to say, so I quickly said casually: "Please take care of yourself."

Madam Gong was shocked all over and her eyes showed shock.

Qing Ning clearly saw the joy and excitement on her face.

There was also the old maid Bai Gu next to her, whose eyes were also full of disbelief and joy.

Well.

Qing Ning didn't expect them to react like this.

So, is this...thinking she is Gong Qianmu?

Yes, her voice at this moment is the same as Gong Qianmu's voice after taking the sound-breaking medicine, and their body shapes are also similar. The most important thing is that Gong Qianmu disappeared in full view, but she appeared inexplicably.

.

It was then that she realized why Bu Fengli insisted on holding his hand and why he allowed her to speak regardless of the old man's feelings.

The purpose is to make the old man think that she is Gong Qianmu, right?

Suddenly, Bu Fengli slightly raised his voice and said: "Shui Dumpling is Qianmu's maid, and she can also be regarded as a person from the palace. I hope my mother-in-law will not blame Shui Dumpling. Just treat Shui Dumpling when Qian Mu married into the Fourth Prince's Mansion."

We came here as a dowry together, and the palace is also the natal family of Shui Dumpling."

The painting style changed so quickly that Qing Ning didn't even need to raise her eyes to know that the emperor must be coming.

Madam Gong and Aunt Bai had their backs to the emperor, but they were both experienced, smart, and quick to understand.

Madam Gong immediately spoke with righteous indignation: "Anyway, my daughter's body is still cold! As a husband, you humiliated her in front of all the soldiers during her lifetime, and now after her death, you have embarrassed her in front of so many people.

I don't care about my feelings as an old lady! Now I know why I came here to talk about my parents' family. It's too late. What? You still want me to wish you two a long life together?"

After questioning Bu Fengli excitedly, he turned his eyes and asked Qing Ning sternly: "And you, do you have a conscience? Tell yourself, how many days have you been a servant in the palace, and you haven't even finished one day, right?

Er Qianmu said that you were smart and clever, so he paid for you to go out and learn skills. Oh, after you came back from learning, you hooked up with her man, right? Is this the skill you learned? She is your master and your benefactor.

!I don’t have a servant like you in my palace! If you don’t believe me, ask the people in the palace. I’m afraid not many people will remember you, right? My son Qianmu is stupid and blind. He’s already married. Come back and find her.

, she also took you in and took you with her, but what happened? The result..."

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Gong was so excited that she started coughing.

Aunt Bai beside her quickly patted her back to help her calm down.

Mrs. Gong's face turned red from coughing, and she glanced quickly at Bu Fengli and Qing Ning.

Bu Fengli and Qing Ning naturally understood each other instantly.

To be honest, Qing Ning admires this old man from the bottom of his heart.

This level of intelligence and reaction speed are also amazing.

No wonder Gong Qianmu is so outstanding. It turns out that he has such an outstanding mother.

In fact, listening to her words, you can tell that she said it deliberately, and she was obviously helping them.

First of all, it was admitted that Shui Dumpling was indeed a servant of the palace and Gong Qianmu's maid.

However, the palace is so big, and there are many people with mixed opinions. If there is such a person, the secret will be revealed if you ask, right?

Therefore, she said that she had not finished her day in the palace, so Gong Qianmu sent her away to study. She also said that even if she asked people in the palace, not many people would remember her, so this is

Give reasons in advance to block problems that may come to light later.

Also, it was said that she learned skills, which invisibly improved her status. In addition, it was said that the reason why Gong Qianmu sent her to learn skills was because he saw that she was smart and clever.

Therefore, this conveyed some information invisibly, even if she is a servant, she is not useless, at least she is smart, and at least she has the ability to learn.

This also explains why people in the world don’t understand how a man like Bu Fengli could fall in love with her, right?

Anyway, that’s how she understood it, so in addition to admiration, she was also grateful.

Although the other party regarded her as his daughter, he was just protecting his own daughter.

Sure enough, the emperor came closer, looked at Madam Palace, and said with unclear emotions: "Madam Palace, please don't get so angry. The fourth child has been accustomed to doing whatever he wants since he was a child. Sometimes he may not care about other people's feelings. You can't, either."

Don't take it too seriously, your health is important."

Mrs. Gong finally stopped coughing and said nothing. She just bowed to the emperor. Without looking at Bu Fengli and Qing Ning, she directly held Gu Bai's hand and walked away.

When the palace lady walked away, the emperor withdrew his gaze and glanced at Bu Fengli coldly, without looking at Qing Ning beside him. "The people in the Fourth Prince's Palace are looking for you to go crazy. You should go back and deal with the affairs in the palace first.

Forgot, you haven’t received your sins yet.”
