Qing Gu stayed silent. Not long ago she had been called to the front by the servants to listen to instructions; a large circle of officials surrounded Fu Tinghan in the middle. From what she could gather, there were problems with the recently reviewed water conservancy projects around the realm. She didn't understand the details, only felt that the matter seemed quite serious, since everyone was asking Fu Tinghan for his opinion.
But Qing Gu did not speak up in defense of Zhao Hanzhang. Mr. Fu's relationship with his parents seemed not very good; with his introverted character, he would probably really avoid his parents in the future.
Using the young lady as an excuse was much better than using official business.
No matter how displeased the madam was with the young lady, after half an hour she would be fine again; but toward Mr. Fu, although gratified, she ultimately did not love him that much.
