Chapter 62 Ning Guanzhou is here

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyin sat up and pulled aside the bed curtains.

"Help me change my clothes. I'll go take a look. You stay in the room and watch over Mianmian."

She thought the little guy was soundly asleep, but as soon as she finished saying this, Hu Mianmian jumped up, blinking her big black eyes.

"Mother, I'm awake, I'm awake, take me to see it."

The officers were coming with great force, and Hu Yunshen's mistake was too serious, so Chen Qingyin would never take her daughter forward.

She was about to comfort the little one, but Linlang unexpectedly said, "Madam, you must bring the young lady with you. The officer said that everyone in the mansion must be questioned and the house must be searched!"

Chen Qingyin frowned: "What basis do they have for searching?"

"I don't know! It was the newly appointed Prime Minister who came with a search warrant. The Emperor approved it. I heard that the general's mistake this time was reported to the Emperor."

"The moat collapsed when it was only half built. Someone also made an anonymous report that the general not only cut corners, but also used inferior materials and embezzled money. You should take the young lady with you."

Chen Qingyin managed to keep her composure and immediately asked Linlang to help her and Hu Mianmian put on clothes.

After putting a veil on the little girl and putting a heater in her daughter's hands, Chen Qingyin carried Hu Mianmian to the front hall.

In the cold and dark night, the entire front yard of the Hu family seemed as bright as day because of the torches.

The officers were solemn and stood in two rows, guarding the yard.

From the bright main hall came the heart-wrenching cries of Old Madam Hu.

"My son Yun Shen didn't do anything, why did you arrest him? If you arrest him, you must investigate thoroughly!"

An icy yet familiar voice came: "We arrested him to conduct a thorough investigation. If Madam Hu continues to make trouble, she will be sent to prison."

Chen Qingyin walked in holding Hu Mianmian and saw Old Madam Hu pulling Ning Guanzhou's sleeve.

When the little guy saw Ning Guanzhou, he was about to shout happily: "Handsome... um!"

Chen Qingyin covered her mouth calmly.

Ning Guanzhou and Chen Qingyin looked at each other. He was wearing a black cloak tonight with mountains, rivers and running cranes embroidered on his robe, which made him look imposing.

Ning Guanzhou came to do business tonight, so he withdrew his gaze indifferently, and his face looked very cold, distant and unkind.

When Mrs. Hu saw Chen Qingyin, she seemed to have finally found her backbone.

She ran over crying and pulled Chen Qingyin's sleeve: "Qingyin, tell him quickly that Yunshen is innocent. How can you arrest him when the matter is not yet fully investigated?"

It turned out that Hu Yunshen was taken away directly from the military camp by Ning Guanzhou's men.

Chen Qingyin advised: "According to the regulations and procedures, he will be interrogated in the prison. If he cooperates, it's fine. If he doesn't, he will be tortured."

"What, torture?" Old Madam Hu rolled her eyes and almost fainted.

The two maids behind him hurried over to support him.

Ning Guanzhou looked at Chen Qingyin silently before showing the search warrant: "Hu Yunshen is suspected of corruption and shoddy work. We need to conduct a thorough investigation in the mansion. Madam, please ask everyone in the Hu family to gather in the main hall so that we can search every room."

Hu Mianmian blinked her big eyes, and the baby voice in her heart was already getting excited.

Wow, handsome uncle calls my mother "Madam"!

Although it is a normal name, it seems so special when it comes from his mouth.

Chen Qingyin nodded and asked Madam Hu, "Hasn't mother sent someone to inform father and Aunt Gao yet? Let Madam Liang bring Miss Liang over as well."

Madam Hu wiped her tears and said, "I sent the maid to tell him a long time ago. I don't know what this old man is doing. He didn't come when his son was taken away."

Ning Guanzhou said, "Madam, don't worry. I have just sent an official to invite Mr. Hu over."

As they were talking, the police came in with Mr. Hu and Madam Gao. Both of them were in tattered clothes.

Mrs. Hu's eyes widened: "Why are you hanging out together at night?"

She didn't understand. After she got older, although she and Mr. Hu slept in separate beds, they were still on the left and right of each other in the main house.

Old Madam Hu remembered that when she fell asleep, Mr. Hu had already gone to bed.

Could it be that after she fell asleep, Mr. Hu secretly ran away and went to Grandma Gao's room?

At this moment, Nanny Gao held up her clothes and hid behind Mr. Hu, looking very embarrassed and not daring to look up.

The officer who was in charge of bringing them here bowed and reported to Ning Guanzhou, "Sir, when we knocked on the door just now, it didn't open for a long time, so we had to break in. Mr. Hu was a little frightened and refused to cooperate, so we had to bring him here by force."

After hearing this, Mrs. Hu looked at Mr. Hu again and found that his belt was loose.

It was clear what he and Grandma Gao had just done.

"You bastard! How dare you do this to me! You have no conscience!" Old Madam Hu cried and rushed over, punching and kicking Mr. Hu.

Mr. Hu pushed her away fiercely: "Stop making trouble! Why didn't you tell me earlier that the police were coming!"

Ning Guanzhou frowned and raised his hand to ask someone to pull the two of them apart.

Then he said coldly: "If you don't cooperate, I will not be polite."

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards standing in the yard drew their swords. Their imposing appearance scared Madam Hu and Mr. Hu so much that their faces turned pale.

Soon, Liang Yunyan, who learned the news, came with Liang Ruosheng. Unexpectedly, Rong'er also came with them.

Chen Qingyin raised her eyebrows and pretended to be puzzled: "Why did Rong'er come with Madam Liang?"

Rong'er was a little nervous and looked at Liang Yunyan's face.

Since Grandma Gao was completely focused on Mr. Hu, Liang Yunyan naturally found an opportunity to bring Rong'er to her room to take care of him.

I can't see my son during the day, but I can sleep with my flesh and blood in my arms at night.

Her life was so easy.

When asked by Chen Qingyin, Liang Yunyan looked calm: "Rong'er and Ruosheng became friends. He came to me to tell him a story before going to bed, but he fell asleep unexpectedly. Does the eldest lady also care about this?"

Chen Qingyin spoke with dignity and held her head high, showing the aura of a mistress of the house.

"Boys and girls cannot sit together after the age of seven. Although they are still young, Miss Liang and Rong'er are of different social status. How can they sleep in the same room? If it gets out, it will be bad for everyone's reputation."

Old Madam Hu hurried forward, pulled Rong'er behind her, and glared at Liang Yunyan fiercely.

Ning Guanzhou glanced at the number of people present and asked the officer.

"It seems there is still one person missing."

"Your Excellency, we are still missing Hu Lan, the second daughter of the Hu family. We just searched and she is not in the mansion."

Old Madam Hu was stunned and frowned in suspicion.

It's so late, why isn't Hu Lan at home?

Ning Guanzhou didn't wait for Hu Lan, he just waved.

"Search, don't miss any corner. If you see any suspicious property, report to me immediately."

"yes."

The officials were like black snakes in the dark night, holding torches and leaving Hu's mansion.

Only a few guards and Ning Guanzhou were left in the hall.

He suddenly looked at Chen Qingyin and said, "Madam, you should be very clear about the property in the mansion. Then, please move to the side hall. I have something to ask you."

As he spoke, Ning Guanzhou took the lead and entered the side hall.
