"This woman said that her husband works for the Court of Imperial Sacrifices." Qingyun suddenly frowned. He had forgotten to ask the princess whose wife this was from the Court of Imperial Stud.
"Sir, our Court of Imperial Stud has one Minister, myself, two Vice Ministers, four Assistant Ministers, two Registrars, and two Recorders. I have met the wives of the two Vice Ministers, and they are not this lady. Perhaps I could have others come and identify her?" Mao Liu thought for a moment and quickly explained.
She was afraid that Prince An would hold a grudge against him and make things difficult for her later.
Although he was a third-rank official, in the capital, a third-rank official who raised horses was not worth mentioning at all. He might not even have as much power as a guard in the Prince's mansion.
After all, no one would listen to a horse breeder like him.
However, he never expected that he would have to be so careful when he went out. After all, in the capital, anyone could be a family member of a second-rank official, and none of them were people he could afford to offend.
There are also differences between officials.
At this moment, he also wanted to know whose wife this troublesome woman was.
"Then call all your people out here and let them identify whose good 'madam' this is!" Qingyun said, frowning.
Mao Liu quickly sent someone to summon all the people from the Imperial Stud.
Xu Xiangren had just finished assigning tasks at the horse farm when he heard that Lord Mao had something to discuss and needed to see them.
However, the person didn't explain to him what the matter was.
Before long, the Taipusi officials came out and saw Mao Liu talking to someone.
The two Vice Ministers of the Court of Imperial Stud also recognized Qingyun's identity and dared not act rashly.
However, the Taipusi Cheng and his companions looked ahead with some confusion, not understanding who this person was or why the lord had asked them to come over.
"Tell me, why did the lord summon us here in such a hurry?" asked one of the officials, Ma Zhichang, a rather impatient official of the Court of Imperial Stud.
He was just checking the grain and fodder, and there were still a few blades of grass stuck to his head.
They clearly rushed over as soon as they received the news.
"I don't know, but who is that person?" He Ming, the Vice Minister of the Court of Imperial Stud, asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Judging from the way Lord Mao spoke to him, he must be someone of great importance," the Vice Minister of the Court of Imperial Stud said with certainty, resting his chin on his hand.
"Where is the one surnamed Xu?" The group looked around. They were all there, including the two junior officials, but Xu Xiangren was nowhere to be seen.
"Perhaps the master didn't call him." Ma Zhichang felt a little displeased when he thought of Xu Xiangren. Xu Xiangren was only their peer, but he always tried to order them around. Over time, they all became unwilling to talk to him anymore.
"Lord Mao, now that everyone's here, come and get to know them," Qingyun said to Mao Liu, looking at the men in official robes.
"Okay, okay." Mao Liu nodded repeatedly.
He then turned to the crowd behind him and said, "Look around, do you recognize that woman?" Mao Liu pointed to Niu Shi and said.
At this moment, Niu felt extremely aggrieved. She never expected that brat would dare to insult her like that.
Thinking about being stared at like this by the master's colleagues, Niu wished she could disappear into a hole in the ground.
"My lord, what is this...?" Wei San, the Vice Minister of the Court of Imperial Stud, approached Mao Liu with a puzzled look and asked cautiously.
"You know him?" Mao Liu asked, frowning.
"I don't know him," Wei San quickly waved his hand.
I don't understand why Mao Liu asked them to identify this person.
"My lord, I don't recognize him either," Jiang Rui quickly added.
"I don't know him!"
"I don't know him!"
"I don't know him!"
Ma Zhichang and the other two quickly added their own words.
"lady?"
