Thinking of this, Qiao Zhongguo looked at Duke Yan with some resentment.
"Master-in-law, since you are already confident, why do you come to ask my son-in-law?"
Are you sure this isn't meant to insult him?
Duke Yan smiled faintly, "Zhongguo, you are smart and smart. Aren't you worried that you might have missed something?"
Qiao Zhongguo: "..."
confirmed! It's an insult that goes against the truth!
How does he deserve the words "agility and intelligence"?
"My son-in-law doesn't see anything missing. It's time to take good care of his brother. Since there are no problems with the Chen family, the second prince will most likely start with his brother."
When Duke Yan heard this, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.
He sighed softly, "This incident has a great impact on Heying. He seems to have changed a bit, but I still understand that nature is unchangeable."
"Let's wait and see, He Ying...it's time for him to make a big mistake."
Duke Yan's voice weakened and his brows knit together tightly.
Seeing this, Qiao Jiaojiao raised her little hand and touched Duke Yan's eyebrows, and shouted with a smile: "Wai...Wai Zuhu!"
Duke Yan Guo lowered his head and looked at Qiao Jiaojiao's little face. His heart instantly melted. He couldn't think about his bastard son. He hugged Qiao Jiaojiao and stood up.
"It's better to be Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao is my grandfather's sweetheart~~"
Qiao Jiaojiao chuckled, and the nine-ring ring in her hand jingled.
When Qiao Zhongguo saw this scene, he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.
He suddenly remembered that there was another thing that could make his father-in-law happy.
"My father-in-law, didn't you ask Madam to pay attention to An Ning's husband before?"
When Duke Yan heard this, his eyes lit up.
"Did you find it?"
Qiao Zhongguo smiled and nodded, "I wonder if my father-in-law has ever heard of the name Tan Hanchi?"
Duke Yan's expression changed slightly, "But what about Tan Xiuzan, the upstart in the imperial court and the famous figure next to the Holy Emperor?"
Qiao Zhongguo smiled broadly, "Exactly!"
Duke Yan frowned slightly, "I wonder what his character is like. Can he behave properly?"
Duke Yan was absolutely trustworthy, so Qiao Zhongguo didn't hide anything. From the spring fraud to the last military power in the southern border, he praised Tan Hanchi like a flower.
Duke Yan was surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that Tan Hanchi was such a capable person.
"In this case, it's really great..."
Duke Yan murmured and repeated.
Qiao Zhongguo was also moved when he saw Duke Yan, and then he continued:
"Although the good relationship between Mr. Tan and Erlang Dalang cannot be made public, Mr. Tan is now a popular person in front of the Holy Emperor. He must be invited to Dalang's wedding in September no matter what."
"At that time, my father-in-law can look at him carefully at the banquet. He will definitely be the best among people!"
When Duke Yan heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Zhongguo, I haven't seen you exaggerate Lang Erlang like this on weekdays. It shows that you really like him."
Qiao Zhongguo laughed when he heard this, "It's just that this kind of thing is based on your own will."
"If the father-in-law is satisfied by then, we will give them a break and let them make their own decision."
"It's not sweet to be forced. They are both excellent children. They must not mess up the couple's rules."
Duke Yan knew it well and nodded lightly:
"Once the news of Heli comes out, the capital will be full of rumors. It's just a good time to spy on that boy Tan. If he believes the rumors, then I don't dare to have this grandson-in-law."
Qiao Jiaojiao has great confidence in Tan Hanchi.
[Haha, then my grandfather will be ready to see his grandson-in-law. Based on my understanding of Tan Hanchi, he will never let the wind take its course. 】
[He and Cousin An Ning met last time. I wonder if he has this intention. 】
[But having said that, this marriage probably still needs Emperor Yong’s approval! 】
[After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Duke Yan’s Mansion and our Qiao Mansion are one, and Tan Hanchi is now a very useful person to Emperor Yong. 】
[Hey, it’s really troublesome! 】
Qiao Jiaojiao sighed, which also aroused Qiao Zhongguo's sad thoughts.
It depends on whether Emperor Yong is more respectful or more suspicious of the Qiao family.
Of course, it would be great if Emperor Yong was willing to think the opposite and use Tan Hanchi as his spy to infiltrate the Qiao Mansion.
Because in this case, this marriage will be a mistake!
After lunch, Duke Yan did not take Zuo Anning away, but went back alone.
He had decided to release the news about his son, daughter-in-law, and divorce when he returned. If An Ning followed him back to the Duke of Yan Kingdom, he might hear some bad rumors.
Simply let her stay in Qiao Mansion for a longer period of time, and Jing'er will properly protect An Ning.
————
In the afternoon, the news of the divorce between Duke Yan and his wife swept the capital.
After hearing this, everyone looked like they were watching a good show.
Although according to the news released by the Duke of Yan State, the two of them decided to separate because of their emotional discord.
But everyone knew Zuo Heying's virtue, and secretly speculated whether he had misbehaved, which made Mrs. Zuo frustrated, and this was how He Li's incident came about.
Everyone was jumping up and down. Seeing that the Duke of Yan could not find out any gossip, they turned their attention to the Chen family.
When they found out, everyone was shocked.
It turns out that Chen Qi had submitted his resignation the day before yesterday, and now he is missing!
Such a strange situation has made the reconciliation between the Prince of Yan Kingdom and his wife become very confusing, and various bizarre versions have been spread.
Zhufeng originally sent people to inquire carefully, but as a result, everyone knew about it, which made it easier for him to go back and resume his life.
In the clan's mansion, the second prince's expression was extremely gloomy when he heard Zhufeng's report.
He knew what Asheng had experienced in the past.
So when he decided to let Ah Sheng approach Mrs. Zuo, he hesitated in his heart.
Unexpectedly, he just mentioned it a little, and Ah Sheng agreed immediately.
According to Ah Sheng's previous report, Mrs. Zuo has agreed to find out information about Qiao Mansion for him.
Now that Madam Zuo and the Crown Prince Yanguo have suddenly separated, and Ah Sheng has disappeared inexplicably, there is no doubt that the affair between Madam Zuo and Ah Sheng must have been discovered!
Zuo Heying naturally did not have the ability to do things so beautifully, so the person who killed Ah Sheng... must be Duke Yan!
The Qiao family and the Duke of Yan's mansion are considered one and the same. I wonder if the Qiao family is also involved...
"Can we find out the news about the Chen family?" the second prince asked coldly.
Zhufeng shook his head with a look of shame on his face, "Your Highness, my subordinates have carefully inquired about Chen Qi's resignation from the official position the day before yesterday."
"The people of the Chen family were divided into three groups. Their family disguised themselves and hid among them. They scattered as soon as they left the capital. It is almost impossible to find traces."
Hearing this, the second prince slowly clenched his hands, with murderous intent in his brows.
"Keep looking! The Duke of Yan's Palace will find a way to deal with it. Chen Qi and his wife once harmed Ah Sheng's family. Now that Ah Sheng is dead, we will make them pay with their blood!"
Zhufeng saw the second prince's anger and hurriedly responded respectfully.
He was about to exit when he heard the second prince's tone suddenly become much gentler.
"Just keep it a secret from Ah Sheng's mother. Zhufeng, please assign two people to take good care of her. If anything happens, report to her at any time."
Zhufeng was slightly startled, and now he was truly sure that His Highness indeed had a very high regard for Li Xusheng.
He responded softly, and at this time, Zhou Bo Feng Feng Huo Huo walked in from outside the hall, with a hint of joy in his voice.
"Your Highness, the eldest princess is here to see you!"
