Gu Zhao and Qin Chen returned to Qin Hou Mansion.

Not long after returning to Qin Hou Mansion, Qin Yi walked in quickly.

"Master, we have already found out. This woman was hit on the foot by a rock and wanted to extort money. The person who instigated this is still investigating..."

Cuihua was very angry when she heard this.

"Who could this be, to ruin the reputation of my master and me like this?"

When Gu Zhao heard this, he looked at Qin Chen.

"That woman who sold herself to bury her father, investigate carefully..."

Qin Chen ordered.

After Qin Yi and his companions left, Gu Zhao spoke.

"Sir, that girl just now was looking at you the whole time, saying that she would serve you like a slave for the rest of her life."

Qin Chen laughed when he heard his wife's jealous words.

"Is she looking at me? How come I don't know?"

Qin Chen reached out and held Gu Zhao in his arms, his voice slightly raised.

Hearing his words, Gu Zhao snorted coldly and said.

"At first, I thought she might really be selling herself to bury her father, but then, when I saw the way she looked at you, I knew she was coming for you."

If someone really sells himself to bury his father, he would never have that kind of expression.

Hearing what his wife said, Qin Chen pinched Gu Zhao's nose.

"Wife, you are right. I also think there is something wrong with her."

Gu Zhao heard him agree with her and asked again.

"Don't you think she looks a bit like me?"

Qin Chen shook his head.

"I don't think so. She is not worthy of being compared with you."

Hearing his words, Gu Zhao narrowed his eyes. "That's a nice thing to say."

Qin Shiyi took two female secret guards to the girl's home. The girl's surname was Li, and her family came to the capital from Chu a few years ago. Her father was a juren, and her mother was an embroiderer. Her mother worked with Miss Li to support her father in the imperial examination.

I heard that Mr. Li had taken the exam twice, but failed both times. Mr. Li couldn't bear the blow and fell ill.

When the people around heard that the Qinhou Mansion came to help this family, they all praised them.

"Miss Li is really lucky this time."

"The Qinhou Mansion, that is a famous family."

“This is going to soar to the sky.”

"I heard that the maids in Marquis Qin's mansion earn several hundred coins a month."

When the people around heard someone asking about the Li family, they all praised them.

Miss Li came out wearing mourning clothes.

"Aunt Zhao, this is the two hundred coins my family owes you. I gave you twenty more coins."

"Why are you being so polite, kid?"

"Uncle Yang, this is one tael of silver my family owes you. I will pay you an extra hundred coins."

Miss Li talked to her neighbors with a grateful look on her face.

Some neighbors were very happy when they saw the silver and copper coins handed over to them.

"Miss Li, you are so polite. Why do you have to pay interest? I can't accept it."

Some neighbors said they couldn't accept the money, but they actually put it in their pockets immediately.

Miss Li returned more than ten taels of silver. After receiving the money, the neighbors were all very happy and are now helping to deal with the funeral arrangements.

"The Li family is really trustworthy."

"If Mr. Li hadn't been seriously ill, their family would have lived a good life."

"Mrs. Li is also ill now. Miss Li is so busy running around and still taking care of her mother and brother. She is so kind."

Qin Shiyi and the female secret guards took all these words to heart, but they also made other preparations. They had already discovered that some of these neighbors had problems.
