The day after Gu Qinghuai arrived in the imperial capital, Liu Qiushi came running over excitedly.

The girl was getting darker, but the light in her eyes was getting brighter, and her whole body was full of vitality.

As soon as she saw Xiao Huhu, she picked him up and kissed and rubbed him. Xiao Huhu was very respectful and smiled with a double chin, drooling from the corners of his mouth. After kissing Xiao Huhu, Liu Qiushi took Gu Qinghuai's arm and said coquettishly, "Sister County Master, I haven't seen you for a long time. I want to stay at your house and play with you for a few days!"

Gu Qinghuai smiled and said, "That's great, you can accompany me every day."

Qi Yuanshuo, who was wiping Xiao Huhu's saliva, was stunned and immediately said, "Then I'll ask Aji to prepare the Osmanthus Garden next door. Sister Qiushi can live there."

He had to take the initiative to prevent Liu Qiushi from asking to sleep with Sister Xiaohuai. In the past, they always had endless topics to talk about, and now it was too late, so they just slept together.

Gu Qinghuai glared at Qi Yuanshuo. How could she not know his little thoughts?

What a clingy monster!

Qi Yuanshuo looked at her infatuatedly, not avoiding people at all.

Although Liu Qiushi has not yet been engaged, he is already fourteen years old this year and has a vague understanding of matters between men and women. Of course, he knows how clingy there can be between newlyweds.

She looked at this, then looked at that, then covered her mouth and laughed secretly.

Gu Qinghuai pretended to be angry and pinched her nose, "What are you laughing at!"

Liu Qiushi chuckled and said, "The relationship between the county lady and the young general is really good. The young general's eyes are like two balls of fire when he looks at the county lady."

Gu Qinghuai did not refute this point. She and Qi Yuanshuo did have a very good relationship, the kind that was highly compatible both spiritually and physically.

Qi Yuanshuo can't live without her, so how can she live without Qi Yuanshuo?

Gu Qinghuai smiled and joked: "If you find a husband, his eyes will definitely be full of fire when he looks at you. You won't even need a fire starter to light it, just look at it with your eyes."

Liu Qiushi chuckled: "I won't look for one. Men are very concerned about appearance, and I am not good-looking. When my looks fade, love will fade. I don't want to compromise myself to please them. It's great to be alone and free, to do whatever I want!"

Qi Yuanshuo was full of desire to survive and immediately said: "This cannot be absolute. No matter what Sister Xiaohuai becomes, I love her."

Liu Qiushi said seriously: "The young general is infatuated, and the county lady also has such charm. You two are really a match made in heaven!"

After some chatting and laughing, Liu Qiushi, like Prince Yi, took the initiative to talk about the situation in the imperial capital.

It turned out that after Gu Qinghuai left the imperial capital, several waves of men in black went to destroy the sweet potato experimental fields, but they were all driven away by wolfhounds.

In order to protect the experimental field, Lord Liu simply built a thatched hut next to the experimental field, rolled up his bedding and went to sleep.

After the sweet potato experimental field was successful, the emperor was very happy and promoted Liu Kuo to the third rank.

"Sister County Lord, the Agricultural Science Popularization you gave me is really a good book. It is very helpful to me and I have learned a lot," Liu Qiushi said with a satisfied look on his face.

Gu Qinghuai encouraged her, "Keep it up, your efforts today will not let you down. I have a feeling that you will become a great agricultural expert."

"Well, I believe what the county lady said," Liu Qiushi's eyes sparkled and he nodded heavily.

Liu Qiushi stayed in the young general's mansion for a few days and then returned to the experimental field.

She and Gu Qinghuai made an appointment that they would go together to the emperor's birthday banquet.

There was still some time before the emperor's birthday banquet, so Gu Qinghuai and Qi Yuanshuo went to visit all the grain shops in the imperial capital again and bought out almost all the grain in each shop.

The two also went to the towns surrounding the imperial capital, visited all the grain shops, big and small, and even bought a lot of grain from farmers' homes.

After buying the food, the two stayed at home all day and no longer went out.

In addition to Shu Mingzong, Zhao Wang and Xiao Lingxin who were worrying about business matters, Xiao Yueshi, Qi Yuanxiu and Gu Qinghuai and his wife often gathered in the study to discuss the next important things to do.

After arriving in the imperial capital, County Magistrate Lu first secretly inquired about the progress of the theft case in the imperial capital. When he found that there was no clue in the case, his eyes lit up with excitement.

The more obstructed the case, the more valuable the information he brings.

Now, he only had to consider whether to tell the news to the Dali Temple in charge of the case, or to the Duke of Liang.

Tell the Dali Temple that the credit belongs to the Dali Temple, but the Dali Temple may not necessarily report his name to the Emperor.

Tell Duke Liang that he can make himself familiar with Concubine Liang and the Third Prince, and when the Third Prince ascends the throne, his future will be limitless.

It is said that the emperor's health has been getting worse in the past two years...

After much thought, Magistrate Lu decided to go find Duke Liang.

When the Duke of Liang heard that Magistrate Lu of Pingyuan County wanted to see him and brought important news about the theft case, he was overjoyed and immediately had Magistrate Lu brought in.

Ever since his house was robbed, many important things that had been planned had to be put on hold. Life at home fell into a slump, and he was in dire straits everywhere. Duke Liang hated the thief so much that he wanted to skin him alive and grind his bones to dust.

Although the Duke of Liang's Mansion has been renovated today, it is far inferior to its former state.

Magistrate Lu, Song Wenjie and the guide walked forward silently. On the surface, they remained calm, but in their heart they were amazed at how powerful the thief was. He had robbed the Duke of Liang's mansion so thoroughly that even the green plants and potted plants everywhere were not spared.

It is obvious that some of the old pits have been newly planted with seedlings, while some have not been replanted in time and are left with bare yellow soil without a single hair growing on them.

Song Wenjie's legs were shaking and his palms were sweating. The Duke of Liang was probably the highest-ranking official he would ever meet in his life. He was so scared.

The official’s mansion is so big that we walked for a long time but still haven’t reached our destination.

When they arrived outside the study of Duke Liang, the two were brought in after the servant went in to report.

Duke Liang, with half white hair and beard, looked dignified. He sat in the main seat in the study, scanning them sharply. "Pingyuan County Magistrate Lu Sheng pays his respects to the Duke," Magistrate Lu respectfully saluted Duke Liang.

Song Wenjie knelt down and kowtowed several times, "Your humble servant pays homage to the Duke."

After sizing up the two of them, Duke Liang said calmly, "Stand up and talk."

County Magistrate Lu stood up straight, and Song Wenjie also got up from the ground.

Duke Liang asked, "I heard that you are here to report a theft case. Tell me what happened."

Magistrate Lu glanced at Song Wenjie, who understood and immediately recounted in detail the scene of the theft in his home.

A hint of joy flashed across Duke Liang's face. "If that's true, you didn't tell a single lie?"

Song Wenjie said tremblingly: "Every word I say is true. If you don't believe me, you can ask the villagers. My house has been robbed. Everyone in the village has seen it."
