Quick Wear: The paranoid beauty grabs the waist and spoils her

Chapter 398 How to Compete with His Peerless Charm 43

"Are all the people settled down well?"

Concubine Xu regained her usual composure and looked indifferently at Butler Wu Qiuhong.

Wu Qiuhong replied: "My lady, everything has been settled."

"Have you said everything?" asked Concubine Xu.

Wu Qiuhong thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "No. That fat beggar looks easy to talk to, but he is actually very stubborn. But don't worry, Madam. We will pry the truth out of him, cleanly."

Concubine Xu paused when she heard this, and looked at Wu Qiuhong with a smile, her voice soft but chilly:

"Eunuch Wu, I believe you."

Hearing these words, Wu Qiuhong shuddered instinctively, thinking of the previous times when his mother had said this, the grass on those people's graves was several feet high.

Wu Qiuhong gathered his spirits, lowered his eyes skillfully and said respectfully: "I will definitely live up to your trust, Madam."

After he finished speaking, he withdrew.

...

A small courtyard in the western suburbs of the imperial capital.

An old man in a black cloak walked in.

A sharp sound like the sound of a gong was heard:

"Greetings, General Xu."

The man was wearing an indigo blue suit. He had a feminine look, a pale face and no beard. He was a bit older. Unlike Sun Fuyu, he had a rather harsh and gloomy face. He was none other than the eunuch Wu Qiuhong, who had recently left the palace for business.

Whenever Concubine Xu had something she couldn't handle herself, she would mostly hand it over to Wu Qiuhong, and some would be handed over to Suorou.

After receiving the order from Concubine Xu, he left the palace and came to this villa. He first went to the water prison to entertain the fat beggar with "iron bones". His mood was not very good, but he still adjusted himself and came to the front yard to concentrate on waiting for his queen's father, Xu Zan, the only one in the whole Daqian who was awarded the position of general.

Wu Qiuhong put on a respectful smile, greeted Xu Zan and made a gesture of invitation.

Xu Zan, who was the old man in the cloak, laughed and responded indifferently.

The two of them sat down and had just drunk a cup of tea when another person came.

It’s just that the sound arrives before the person does.

"Hahaha, General Xu, Eunuch Wu, I'm not late, am I?"

General Xu looked at the person coming and smiled at the old man in the middle of the front, saying, "It's not too late."

Wu Qiuhong stood up and originally wanted to go up to greet them, but he thought that although the Xu and Li families had been in a cooperative alliance for so many years, it would not affect his own queen's conflict with Concubine Li in the palace. So after thinking it over again and again, Wu Qiuhong just stood up with a smile on his face:

"Hello, Lord Li."

Li Jun nodded, and sat on the left side under the guidance of the maid.

A man and a woman behind him stood behind his seat.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. Youxuan has become more talented than ever."

The young man behind Li Jun met Li Jun's eyes, and when he saw Li Jun nod, he stepped forward, saluted as a junior to Xu Zan, and replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner:

"Thank you, Grandpa Xu. In terms of talent, Brother Mengquan is undoubtedly the best in the entire Daqian."

Although it was just flattery, the young man's expression was calm and his attitude was proud, without any sign of flattery.

"Fan'er." Li Jun called out sternly, then smiled and looked at Xu Zan:

"Fan'er has always regarded Xu Miao as her target. She lost her sense of proportion for a moment and made the general and eunuch Wu laugh at her."

The young man bowed apologetically and stepped back.

Xu Zan knew that the grandfather and grandson were playing a double act, but he found it quite useful. Besides, the Xu and Li families had always been in harmony and friendship, so he did not take it too seriously. He stroked his beard and laughed:

"Youxuan is straightforward and honest, which is great."

This young man was none other than Li Jun's eldest grandson, named Li Fan, with the courtesy name Youxuan, and the nephew of Concubine Li. The brother Mengquan he mentioned was none other than Xu Miao, Xu Mengquan, the eldest grandson of the Xu family's eldest son.

The two old men complimented each other, and Wu Qiuhong watched with a faint smile without saying a word.

Not long after, Li Jun took the lead and got to the point.

"I heard that Eunuch Wu has captured someone?"

Wu Qiuhong thought of the fat beggar's stubborn look and looked unhappy, but he still smiled at Li Jun:

"Well, you're being tough, but we have our own way."

Li Jun: "Eunuch Wu, it's good to know what's going on."

"Grandfather..." the girl in yellow behind Li Jun said in a low voice.

Li Jun's eyes paused, as if he remembered something, and pushed the girl in yellow forward.

"Yao'er, go ahead and talk."

The girl in yellow, called Yao'er, bowed respectfully and gracefully to Xu Zan and Wu Qiuhong, and said in a clear voice: "Grandpa Xu, Eunuch Wu, Yao'er is not talented, but I have made an important discovery recently."
