At first, Xue Nianli's office didn't pay much attention when he heard that the person from the Ministry of Justice was asking questions. Her late husband paid his respects to the Minister of Justice, who had previously come into contact with nobles and dignitaries, completely disregarding the presence of a mere Minister for Foreign Affairs. It was only when he had used the title of Prince Consort that he snuck into the hall and greeted her. At this critical moment, Qin Xiao's title was still quite useful. She looked up at the woman and put on an act, ”Who's that? Why aren't you reporting your name?” ”My wife is named Hu, Lil Sis. My husband is the former assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, Xue Nianli.”
Qin Xiao couldn't be bothered to respond to her harsh look. He straightforwardly asked: ”Go back to me first. What did your husband do to you?”
Upon hearing this, Hu Xiuniang shivered and immediately calmed down. ”The Prince Consort must be joking. This Ministry of Justice's yamen has already concluded that she committed suicide, so why are you asking me?”
Qin Xiao felt that this matter had been dragged on for too long and did not give Xue Yi an explanation. In the end, he felt sorry for her, but remembering that Xue Yi had shown him benevolence, he did not waste his breath and followed the example of the Ministry of Justice, shouting loudly, ”Bastard! Did he fall in with the butler and cause the death of your old master? ”Why aren't you asking for it?” She thought that after scaring Hu Diaomiao, she would definitely kneel down and beg for mercy. Unexpectedly, this woman was indeed someone who had seen the market before, but her expression did not change as she retorted, ”Prince Consort wants to frame the loyal and loyal? ”I have always been pure and honest. I have served my husband for many years and have never dared to be slow. Without merit, there will be hard work as well. I, the Prince Consort, will not listen to the slanderous words of the villains.”
Qin Xiao said in his heart. Pah, how could you still be considered loyal? He immediately asked: ”Then let me ask you, where is Miss Xue Yiran now?”
Hearing this name, Hu Diaomiao's heart trembled, and she finally didn't dare to be stubborn anymore. She stammered before she replied, ”Prince Consort doesn't know that this little girl framed this servant and wants to secretly frame this servant. This servant has already repaid her virtue and married her.”
When Qin Xiaozui heard this, his face tightened. He twisted her chin and asked sternly: ”Marry? Married to the Louvre? ”
Hearing this, Hu Diao's face showed fear, and she didn't dare to reply. Qin Xiao let go of her face and asked with a sneer: ”Where is the butler?”
A person crawled out from the crowd and knelt in front of her. He constantly chanted, ”Prince Consort, please spare me! Prince Consort, please spare me!”
Qin Xiao held his hands behind his back and asked with a straight face: ”Why should I forgive you? Confess without even fighting? ”
The butler was surprised for a moment, then he kowtowed and muttered, ”I am wronged, I am wronged.”
Qin Xiaolian rolled his eyes and laughed evilly: ”Okay, then this official will ask you. What did you eat this morning?”
”This …”
”What is this?” If I ask you what you eat, just answer. ”
”I ate eggs and porridge.”
”Oh, the food is good. ”Then, how many days have you been wearing these clothes?”
”This …” The housekeeper had no idea what she meant, so he could only reply honestly, ”Milord, it's been five days.”
”What's your name?”
”I'm Li Gu.”
”Your mother is longevity.”
”I have an eighty year old mother, please be merciful, my lord.”
”Heh heh, that's quite strange. I'm eighty. I'm not seventy-nine, and I'm not eighty-one either.”
”This …”
”What's that? Let me ask you, what's the name of your girl?”
”The young lady's surname is Xue.”
”Then what is this woman's name?”
”This … My wife's surname is Hu, Lil Sis.”
