The Qin family had a queen mother, and she was a queen mother with real power. She had an extraordinary status in the capital, so naturally everyone in the Qin family was not a good person. In the previous life, even though the queen mother passed away early, the emperor took back power and suppressed the Qin family everywhere, but Qin Xu still stood firm in the court, which showed her ability and means. She had dealt with the women of the Qin family before, and it was not easy to get along with them.

Although she didn't like the Qin family, they were the Queen Mother's relatives, and she would not deliberately fabricate and slander them in front of the Queen Mother.

Yu En looked at Gu Zhiyin's back with a conflicted expression.

Ah this...

This is a huge misunderstanding. Prime Minister Qin is not good to the Queen Mother. Even if he is good to her, it is only superficial and out of purpose.

Moreover, these 100,000 taels were not given to the empress dowager willingly by Prime Minister Qin, not to mention that he only gave 20,000 taels.

"Princess." Yu En called out to Gu Zhiyin.

Gu Zhiyin turned around: "What's wrong?"

Yu En: "Prime Minister Qin only took 20,000 taels, and the rest was given by the Queen Mother. The Princess helped the Queen Mother so much this time, she can't treat you unfairly."

He would not give Prime Minister Qin a chance to gild his reputation, he was such a stingy man.

He doesn't even look at how his son's achievements came about.

Gu Zhiyin paused: "I understand, thank you, eunuch."

Yu En watched Gu Zhiyin enter the bedroom with satisfaction.

At this time, Tazhi led a couple into the Cining Palace.

Yu En looked at the two of them for a few seconds, then stepped forward and saluted: "You two must be General Xie and Madam Xie, right?"

The Qin family has three sisters. The eldest daughter entered the palace, the second daughter is the current Madam Qin, and the third daughter married a man named Xie. However, he left the capital thirty years ago and cut off ties with the Qin family. He has never returned to the capital during this period.

The man in front of him was Xie Li, the son of Qin Wenxi, the third daughter of the Qin family!

He is also the nephew of the Queen Mother, and the one present is his wife, Wei.

Xie Li was serving as the governor of Youdu and this time he returned to Beijing to report on his work.

"Hello, eunuch." Xie Li nodded to Yu En.

Looking at his appearance, it is not difficult to guess his status in the Cining Palace. The eunuch in charge of the Empress Dowager should be more polite.

Yu En smiled respectfully and said, "I am Yu En, your servant. I greet you, Madam. The Queen Mother has been waiting for you two. Please wait for a moment, Madam. I will go in and inform you."

Xie Li nodded: "Thank you, Eunuch Yu."

Yu En hurriedly said that he didn't dare, then turned and went into the bedroom.

"Empress Dowager." Yu En entered the palace and called out, "General Xie and his wife are here."

"Xuan!"

"Grandmother has guests to meet, so I'll go back first." Gu Zhiyin stood up and said.

"You are not a stranger. There is no need to be polite. Please sit down." The Queen Mother glanced at her and said, "You are my nephew from my mother's family. He has not been back to Beijing for decades."

This was to explain to Gu Zhiyin the relationship between the two.

Gu Zhiyin sat back down as he was told, but he was not surprised or suspicious.

The Empress Dowager’s nephew?

Who else is there besides Prime Minister Qin?

Madam Qin gave birth to two sons and three daughters, but the other son besides Qin Xu, not to mention that this man had no achievements compared to Qin Xu, more importantly, he died of illness a few years ago.

A general named Xie?

Even if he was a bastard born to the son-in-law whom Madam Qin married into the Qin family, he would not have the surname Xie.

So, the Queen Mother has other sisters?

Gu Zhiyin was just thinking when Xie Li and Wei walked into the hall.

The two of them bowed and greeted the Queen Mother respectfully.

"Your humble servant pays respect to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."

"Your Majesty, may you be blessed with good health and happiness."

The Queen Mother looked at the two eyes in front of her, her expression dazed for a moment.
