Xie Ci'an immediately understood the Queen's thoughts.

"I have no plans for now." Wen shook her head in confusion. She had no relatives in the capital, and her parents had died long ago in the countryside. She would be alone if she went back. However, she still had her uncle and aunt, and they naturally wouldn't care about her. Why bother going back to trouble them?

"I wonder if you can embroider." Gu Jianchu asked casually.

Mrs. Wen nodded immediately, "Yes, my needlework is quite good."

"My sister opened an embroidery workshop in the capital and is currently short of staff. If you are willing, you can give it a try."

Gu Jianchu took out a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Wen, "If you are willing to go, you can take this jade pendant to Chunshui Embroidery Workshop."

Mrs. Wen pinched the jade pendant, her eyes gleaming with light, and she immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely go there."

Gu Jianchu reminded, "I am only giving you a choice. If you have other plans, you can do as you wish."

Like most women in this world, Wen had relied on her husband for too long. She was confused and didn't know what to do when she was separated from him. In addition, she had no family background and no one to rely on. Sometimes, divorce required great courage for them.

Zhu Xia sent Wen out of the yamen and carefully showed her the way to Chunshui Embroidery Workshop.

Before Xie Ci'an could remind her to return to the palace, Gu Jianchu, who was eating grapes, felt a roar in her heart. Because she was too excited, the grape skins she was about to spit out were not spit out, but got stuck in her throat, making her face red and coughing continuously.

Dou Wen and Doctor Lin were extremely nervous.

Xie Ci'an reacted quickly and came over to help her smooth her back, allowing her to swallow the grape skin stuck in her throat. "Be careful."

Even after swallowing it, her little face still turned red.

[If he choked to death while eating melon, wouldn't he be laughed at to death?]

[Such an exciting melon, how can people not be excited. 】

【Dou Wen has a little green on his head.】

He worked hard at solving cases in the front, while his son worked hard at home helping him with the farm work.

Dou Wen was still gloating over having a son in his old age, but in reality, the concubine he had just married was pregnant with his son's child.

[Although it's a bit messy, raising a grandson as a son, but at least it's still our bloodline, and it's not being lost to outsiders.]

Xie Ci'an now felt that Dou Wen's head was glowing with envy when he looked at him, and he even felt a little sympathy for Dou Wen. After all, during this period of time, wherever he went, he would tell others that he was going to have a son. On the surface, he was showing off the child, but in fact, he was showing off to his colleagues that he was not bad at all, but still strong enough to have a son.

This attracted the envy of many colleagues in the court.

They even secretly searched for secret recipes for having children.

I didn't expect the secret recipe to come from this way.

No wonder the queen was so excited that she choked on the grape skin.

Before Xie Ci'an could think about it, Gu Jianchu's even more stimulating voice rang out.

[Dou Wen's disappointing son is currently working hard in the backyard with his wife. She even said Dou Wen is too old and prefers someone younger and more energetic like Mr. Dou.]

【I really want to go to the scene to eat melons, what should I do? 】

Dou Wen was already old, and after finally taking a concubine, he was snatched away by his son. His son, who was so smug about it, became his grandson. If Dou Wen knew about this, I wonder if he would be unable to bear it.

Gu Jianchu thought so and put her hands into action. She deliberately did not hold the teacup steady, and most of the water in the cup spilled onto her skirt.

Zhu Xia reacted quickly and immediately took out a silk handkerchief to help Gu Jianchu wipe it.

During the wiping process, the water stains had soaked the clothes, and a plum blossom mark was left on the hem of the skirt.

Summer clothes are thin and light, and a little water stain will wet the inside.

"I remember there's a spare set of clothes in the carriage. Zhuxi, you can go get it." Then Gu Jianchu's eyes fell on Dou Wen, "I wonder if Lord Dou has any spare rooms where I can change clothes."

When the Queen speaks, there must be something even if it doesn’t exist.

"There are several vacant guest rooms. Please follow me here, Your Majesty." Dou Wen immediately stood up to help Gu Jianchu lead the way.

Gu Jianchu and Xie Ci followed behind him leisurely.

This is a courtyard with three entrances. The outermost courtyard was connected to the Dali Temple and was not convenient for other uses, so it was converted into a place to store miscellaneous items. The servants in the mansion also lived here.

Further inside is Dou Wen’s study and bedroom, and on the east side is the flower hall used to entertain guests.

The innermost courtyard is where the women of the mansion live, and two guest rooms are specially set aside for emergencies.

The west wing is the largest, and is where Dou Wen's disappointing son lives.

Dou Wen was a man of long-lasting love. His first wife gave him a son, Dou Cong. Although he was badly brought up, Dou Wen never considered taking a concubine. He treated his first wife very well until she died of illness. However, after Dou Wen had been with her for three years, he began to think about taking a concubine.

[The concubines he took in were all from poor families. He was afraid that they would treat Dou Cong badly, so he always considered Dou Cong's best interests. He never expected that Dou Cong would betray him.]

[There are few people in the world who are as loyal as Dou Wen.]

Xie Ci'an had heard more or less about these rumors.

The ministers he wants to use must be carefully investigated to ensure that they have no problems with their character.

As soon as I stepped into the inner courtyard, I heard a faint sound.

Anyone who has experienced the world of human affairs would understand this voice. Dou Wen's face turned pale instantly.

This was the courtyard where his new concubines lived. The only ones who could make such a big noise could be new concubines. He covered his chest, which was unable to breathe, and pretended not to hear anything as he continued to lead the emperor and empress to the guest rooms.

He couldn't catch the adulterer in front of the emperor and empress. Even if the adulterer and the adulterer were shameless, he still had to save face.

Gu Jianchu had come to watch the show under the pretext of changing clothes. She coughed lightly and pretended to remind him, "Master Dou, what's that noise? I'm afraid there might be thieves in the mansion. Should we go over and take a look?"

Dou Wen stopped his heavy steps and said, "It might be the servants in the mansion who made the noise. The Queen's guest room is just ahead."

[Dou Wen is afraid of losing face.]

"Let's go and take a look, in case something important is lost." Xie Ci'an interrupted Dou Wen's desire to escape with a cold voice.

Dou Wen had no choice but to take everyone to check the room where the sound came from.

Several people came to a concubine's room. The moment the door was opened, they saw two figures overlapping on the bed. The sound they heard before was infinitely amplified.

The moment he saw Dou Cong, Dou Wen stood there in a daze, his mind going blank.

He originally thought that the concubine could not bear the loneliness and stole a man from the mansion or outside the mansion, and he would just quietly deal with the man. He never expected that it was his disappointing son.

Dou Wen, who had reacted, screamed in excitement. He looked around but couldn't find anything suitable, so he picked up the feather duster beside him and rushed towards Dou Cong angrily.

Dou Cong had already rolled off his aunt, pulled the quilt away and wrapped it around his naked body.
