Mrs. Yuan Shilang and Gu Yunxi sat and drank tea for a while, then stood up and continued to stroll around the yard.

After a while, the two took another detour and walked back to the main hall from another long corridor.

At this time, in the main hall, Lu Jianchuan and Yuan Shilang were chatting happily.

When the waiter's wife and Gu Yunxi walked in, they heard the waiter say: "Jianchuan, you come to me tomorrow afternoon. You don't need to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

"Yes, Jianchuan, thank you mentor." Lu Jianchuan bowed seriously and thanked him.

The waiter's wife walked in. When she heard the title of mentor, she smiled and joked: "It seems that the master is very satisfied with this student."

Yuan Shilang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "That's natural. Jianchuan's articles are surprisingly good, even better than mine back then!"

"That guy Wei Xing is not good at anything else, but when it comes to studying for the imperial examination, he really crushes you and me."

When Yuan Shilang mentioned Wei Xing, he seemed to be caught up in a past memory. Seeing that Lu Jianchuan was a little confused, he explained: "Jianchuan, do you know that your wife was the number one scholar in the capital back then?"

The champion? Master? Lu Jianchuan was shocked. He knew that Master Dao was very knowledgeable, but he didn't know that Master Dao was actually a top scholar back then!

Lu Jianchuan shook his head and said frankly: "Master always only talks about schoolwork and has never mentioned the past things in front of me."

Yuan Shilang sighed: "In this case, he, what happened back then cannot be explained clearly in a few sentences."

Having said that, Minister Yuan said no more. Seeing this, Lu Jianchuan didn't feel comfortable asking any more questions.

Thinking about it, if I have a chance in the future, I can go find out what's going on.

The four of them were talking in the main hall, and then the maid came forward and asked Yuan Shilang and his wife: "Sir, madam, the kitchen is ready. When will the food be served?"

The waiter's wife looked at it and said with a smile: "Let's do it now, it looks like it's noon."

"Lu Juren, Madam of the Lu family, please have dinner together in the mansion."

The guest followed the host, Lu Jianchuan and Gu Yunxi smiled and agreed.

Except for Yuan Shilang and his wife, no one else ate together in the Shilang's house.

During the conversation, Gu Yunxi learned that the Vice Minister's wife had only one legitimate son, who was currently studying at the Capital Academy and was not at home.

Shilang Yuan had no other concubines, so naturally he had no concubines or concubines, so the house was really clean.

After dinner, Lu Jianchuan and Gu Yunxi didn't want to bother Yuan Shilang and his wife anymore, so they took their leave.

Shilang Yuan had an appointment with someone else in the afternoon, so he no longer tried to persuade Lu Jianchuan and his wife to stay, and asked the housekeeper to move some dug peonies, move them to the carriage, and send them back.

Lu Jianchuan and Gu Yunxi went straight to the house. As soon as they arrived at the door, they heard the concierge hurriedly report that a servant claiming to be Yongchang Hou Mansion was looking for them.

"Master, Madam, that person has been here for a while. I asked someone to arrange him in the side hall."

Lu Jianchuan and Gu Yunxi looked at each other, both a little confused. Do they know anyone in the Yongchang Marquis Mansion?

Could it be that it was really what they suspected...

Lu Jianchuan hesitated for a moment and then ordered: "Mo San, the young lady and I will go to the main hall first. You go and call that person to see me."

Mo San said "yes" and immediately walked towards the side hall.

Lu Jianchuan and Gu Yunxi walked towards the main hall. As soon as they sat down, they saw Mo San walking in with a man. The clothes the man wore seemed to be the uniform style of the capital.

When the man saw Lu Jianchuan and Gu Yunxi, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "I have met Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu."

"I am the steward of the outer courtyard of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion. I have received orders from my Marquis to deliver a message to Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu."

The man said, holding a gold-gilded post in his hands.

Lu Jianchuan took it, opened it and looked at it. He saw that it was stamped with the words "Yongchang Marquis Mansion" inside. It didn't look fake.

He opened his mouth and asked: "Your master, may I ask..."

The man hurriedly explained: "Master Lu, my master's surname is Qin. He was related to your family before and lived in your home for a while."

When the man said this, Lu Jianchuan and Gu Yunxi looked at each other and became more sure that the Marquis of Yongchang Marquis Mansion was Doctor Qin, Qin Jing!

Because before they came to the capital, they had heard Lu Qingqing talk about Granny Dong scolding Doctor Qin, saying that the Yongchang Hou Shizi...

Come to think of it, after so many years, the prince has become a marquis.

"When did your Marquis return to the capital?" Lu Jianchuan asked.

When they left Xijiang Village and set out for the capital, Doctor Qin was still in Jihu Town. How come it was only the second day after they arrived in the capital that Doctor Qin came back with them?

The steward smiled and replied: "My Marquis just arrived today. In addition, the Marquis also brought back our Crown Prince's wife, no, Mrs. Hou."

Madam waiting? ? ? Lu Jianchuan and Gu Yunxi were even more surprised. Doctor Qin was outside. In addition to Granny Dong, there was also Mrs. Zhengtou?

This is really...

However, the next thing the steward said was to let Lu Jianchuan and Gu Yunxi know that they had misunderstood.

Steward: "Master Lu, Mrs. Lu, please don't misunderstand us. Our Mrs. Hou has been living outside for many years. She was only recently brought back by Mr. Marquis. You should also know her."

"Is it Granny Dong?" Gu Yunxi exclaimed.

Isn't it Granny Dong who has been living outside for many years and is related to Dr. Qin?

They saw with their own eyes that Doctor Qin, who had such a taciturn temperament, was always groveling to please Granny Dong, making her laugh, fearing that she would be angry.

Unexpectedly, Granny Dong turned out to be Mrs. Hou Shizi back then. It stands to reason that with such a distinguished status, how could her child be harmed?

The mystery in Gu Yunxi's heart became even more unsolvable.

The steward nodded: "My Mrs. Hou's surname is Dong."

Gu Yunxi and Lu Jianchuan looked at each other. Both of them had doubts in their eyes. They couldn't understand. Before leaving home, Granny Dong seemed unwilling to come to the capital. How could she suddenly come to the capital?

However, these doubts cannot be raised in front of the supervisor.

After all, a steward is just a steward, and those matters are the private affairs of the masters.

"Okay, steward, thank you for your hard work. Go back and help me tell Mr. Hou and Mrs. Hou that we and my wife will visit us when we are free another day."

Lu Jianchuan already had an appointment with Yuan Shilang tomorrow, and he was worried about letting Gu Yunxi go to Yongchang Hou Mansion alone.

Therefore, the date for visiting Yongchang Hou and Yongchang Hou’s wife has not been determined for the time being.

Whenever you have free time, go there again!

With this in mind, Lu Jianchuan asked Mo San to send the steward of the Hou Mansion out first.

After the steward of the Hou Mansion left, before Lu Jianchuan could speak, Gu Yunxi hurriedly asked: "Achuan, tell me, why is Granny Dong suddenly willing to follow Doctor Qin back to the capital?"

Doctor Qin had made it clear many times before that she was not willing to take Granny Dong back to the capital.

So fine, why did he suddenly come back, or as Mrs. Hou?
