Father Chen was so angry that he almost lost his balance and staggered back a few steps.

Seeing this, Mother Chen didn't care about Gu Qing anymore. She and her maid Cuihong hurriedly helped the man up, her face full of sorrow as she said, "This is simply too much!"

"That's too much!"

She shouted angrily with tears in her eyes, losing her demeanor as the mistress of the house for the first time.

Seeing the two old men like this, Gu Qing clenched his fists in his sleeves.

Regardless of whether the Chen family will become a laughing stock in the capital in the future, Yinghong is still in the Bai family's courtyard at the moment. She must find the banknotes faster than the Fifth Prince's men.

Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a maid in red out of the corner of her eye. She saw Yinghong standing in the corner of the wall not far away, making a gesture at her with a smile on her lips.

It seems that Yinghong has found something.

Gu Qing's expression relaxed slightly.

Zheng Jun kept staring at her expression, afraid that he had missed any clues. Seeing the strange look in her eyes just now, he felt even more puzzled.

"Dad, Mom, let them search." Gu Qing comforted the two elders.

But Chen's father and mother were puzzled. In today's world, no matter whether it is a prince or His Majesty, one needs a legitimate reason to enter someone else's house!

Gu Qing turned around to meet Zheng Jun's expression and continued, "Our Chen family is innocent. Since the soldiers insist on searching our mansion, if they can't find anything, they must give our Chen family an explanation."

"Don't worry, Dad and Mom. I believe my husband will not let others bully our Chen family like this." Gu Qing said word by word.

Zheng Jun's face darkened a little.

The fifth prince had no official reason for his departure, so all he was betting on was an opportunity.

If nothing is found, given Chen Zhizhou's personality, it is possible that he will make a scene before His Majesty.

And Gu Qing's determined look made him even more uncertain.

Could it be that the Chen family really couldn't find anything?

When their eyes met, there was a game between Gu Qing and Zheng Jun.

In the end, it was Zheng Jun who first looked away and ordered, "Search carefully and don't damage anything in the Chen Mansion, or you'll lose your heads!"

"Yes!" He gave the order, and the guards who had been so aggressive just now suddenly became much more cautious. They were afraid of damaging the flower beds and bumping into people, and their movements became extremely nervous.

Whose house search is so powerful?

Gu Qing's expression remained unchanged, but Chen's father and mother seemed to be a little more at ease. In this way, they were able to save some face.

Mother Chen helped Father Chen sit down, and then pulled Gu Qing over: "Good daughter-in-law, you have worked hard."

"Mom, Qing'er is fine." Gu Qing patted the back of Chen's mother's hand, signaling her not to worry, but she suddenly felt a dull pain in her lower abdomen.

She was in a hurry and walked too fast just now, and she was afraid that she might accidentally hurt the wound.

Gu Qing suppressed the discomfort in his lower abdomen and sat aside with a cold face.

Time flies, and everyone's face looks bad. Chen's father and mother are old and can't afford to consume too much energy, so their faces are a little pale at this moment.

Zheng Jun's expression was also very ugly. He held the sword hanging at his side with his hand, and the veins on the back of his hand were bulging.

Gu Qingze drank his tea leisurely, and asked someone to prepare ice cubes and a palm-leaf fan for Chen's father and mother to cool down.

"Sir, half an hour has passed, and your people haven't found anything yet?" Gu Qing's words made Zheng Jun, who was already a little annoyed, look even uglier.

He lowered his eyes and said nothing.

The guards in charge of each courtyard returned one by one and shook their heads to report: "Your Excellency, we have checked carefully, and there is nothing."

"Who else hasn't returned?" Zheng Jun glanced at his subordinates who came to report, and found that one person was still missing.

"Your Excellency, the person in charge of the third courtyard of the Chen Mansion has not returned yet. The woman in the third courtyard is domineering and has been refusing to allow an investigation."

"oh?"

Zheng Jun raised his eyebrows, then suddenly turned around and said to Gu Qing with a smile, "Mrs. Chen San, if that's the case, why don't you accompany me down there to take a look?"

"I'm afraid someone has something to hide and is unwilling to hand over the things."

Gu Qing sneered and adjusted the hem of her skirt. Cui Ru beside her helped her up: "Madam, please be careful."

Seeing this, Chen's father and mother wanted to follow.

Gu Qing quickly stopped him: "Dad, Mom, it's hot today and it's noon now. You should go back to your room and rest. Leave it to your daughter-in-law to take care of it."

"Can……"

Mother Chen was worried about Gu Qing's health, but before she could finish her words, Gu Qing bowed slightly and said, "Mother, I would be sorry if you were not well."

"You guys go back, don't worry."

After what happened just now, Chen's father and mother felt more at ease about Gu Qing. They discussed for a while before agreeing to go back to the room. They also specifically told Gu Qing not to take care of himself.

When Zheng Jun saw that the Chen family was so united, he felt a little cold in his heart.

Gu Qing is a beautiful woman and a powerful person.

Chen Zhizhou is not easy to deal with to begin with, and now he has such a powerful wife as his helper. I am afraid that the fight for the throne between the fifth prince and the third prince will become even more difficult in the future.

Thinking of this, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Zheng Jun's eyes.

If this woman cannot be used by the Fifth Prince, then she cannot be kept.

Gu Qing noticed the strangeness in his eyes and said coldly, "Sergeant Zheng, are you not leaving yet?"

"My third aunt is indeed difficult to deal with, but you have no reason to do this today. If you hurt the Chen family, it will be even more difficult to explain. How about I give you a favor?" Gu Qing curled her lips into a sneer, and her beautiful eyes were as seductive as a fox.

Zheng Jun was silent for a moment, feeling that there was a huge trap behind Gu Qing's words.

"What do you mean?" He decided to give it a try.

Even if this woman is powerful, how powerful can she be?

Gu Qing's smile deepened. "If the soldiers can't find anything, then when you leave the mansion, you must apologize to the Chen family in front of the people outside the mansion."

As she finished speaking, Zheng Jun's face suddenly darkened: "Madam Third Young Master, are you joking?"

"We are following the orders of the Fifth Prince, do we need to apologize to you?! It's better not to be too self-righteous." Zheng Jun has always looked down on women. Even though he treats Gu Qing differently, he will not bow to her.

Gu Qing suddenly stopped and said, "If that's the case, then you can go by yourself. I will be waiting for your good news here."

"you……"

Zheng Jun had heard of the reputation of the shrew in the third branch of the Chen family. He hesitated for a moment, then recalled the Fifth Prince's confidence before his appointment. He suddenly said seriously, "Madam Third Young Master, you are truly impressive."

"In that case, I will agree to your request, Madam."

Gu Qing's eyes were slightly curved, revealing a hint of danger, making people feel like they had fallen into a trap.

She suddenly raised her voice: "Did you hear what Sergeant Zheng promised just now?"

"I heard it!" a servant in the mansion suddenly said, and the others followed suit: "I heard it, madam!"

Even the guards beside Zheng Jun felt a little embarrassed. In this situation, why did they look like they were forced to come here?!

"Please come in." Gu Qing made a gesture of invitation, and the smile on his face became more intense.
