Ruanjiaobao was forced to marry by Lord Hou again

Chapter 316 Engagement Banquet

In the Jinghe hall, Mrs. Shen was drinking ginseng soup with a Linglong soup teacup, and said with a downcast face, "You mean girl Ling went to find Wan Zhou?"

Mother Xuan said solemnly: "Yes, old lady, after leaving Ningbeihou's Mansion, she went to the military camp in the suburbs, and she hasn't come out yet."

Old Mrs. Shen frowned and sighed: "The injustice, the Jiang family simply didn't know how to live or die, and let their own daughter take the risk to enter the court for her elder brother. Girl Ling is also confused. This kind of person should have stayed far away."

Mother Xuan said helplessly, "Old lady, don't sigh."

Mrs. Shen raised her eyes to look at the carved cloud pattern on the roof beam, and said quietly: "Before Ling girl came to the capital, I told myself that I would let this little girl not be wronged. After all, I owe her mother a lot, so I only think of her As long as I don't make a big mistake, I will definitely find an excellent marriage for her in the future. Unfortunately, after I found out that Wan Zhou Xinyue Ling was a girl, I was confused. I didn’t even notice the power behind it.”

Mother Xuan remained silent, and old lady Shen said again: "Wan Zhou has had his own opinions since he was a child. Whether it's in court, in the military camp, or in his own marriage, he never likes to listen to the opinions of us elders. I thought he After knowing that Ling girl got married, he could die, who knows that he still remembers it in his heart after three years."

Mother Xuan swallowed her words several times, and after a while, she forced a smile and said: "Master Hou is still alone in northern Xinjiang for the past three years, and this servant feels that not only Master Hou is pretending to be a man, but more It’s because the frontiers have been unstable in recent years, so Lord Hou is more worried about the war.”

The old lady Shen didn't say a word, and said slowly: "It would be great if that's the case. Didn't you just say that girl Ling went to find Wanzhou? Do you think he will help with this matter?"

Xuanmomo hesitated to speak for a while, and replied: "In my servant's opinion, even if Master Hou can help, he will only use his own way, and will never blindly agree to Miss Lingwu."

Mrs. Shen didn't take it seriously, she chuckled twice and said, "Really? Then let people watch the military camp in the suburbs, and report every move immediately."

Mother Xuan frowned: "The old lady means that Master Hou will help Miss Lingwu?"

The old lady Shen didn't answer, took a few sips of ginseng soup slowly, and then replied: "I just know my grandson too well, even if it's not for Ling girl's sake, just for Jiang Yuan as a woman, But there are enough strategies to get lost in the court, and it is a pity that such talents die."

Mother Xuan felt that she was reasonable, nodded her head and said, "Yes, it's a pity that she is not a man, otherwise she will definitely have a seat in the future Sangong position."

"Let's not talk about them," the old lady Shen turned to say, "I heard that Shen Pan'er met Pei Huai at the polo meeting held by Li Shangshu's house yesterday?"

Mother Xuan frowned, and said: "I met you, and said that you got the glory of Earl Rongzheng's mansion. Fortunately, the two of you didn't speak. After the meeting, Li Shangshu's family wrote a letter of apology."

". She is also a worry." Mrs. Shen sighed.

As dusk approached, the carriage that came out of the palace slowly headed towards Ningbei Hou's Mansion.

Inside the carriage, Ye Ling looked at the person on the other side with resentful eyes, and said, "Sister Rongxiu and the others are still waiting for me to go back."

Shen Zhan said: "I checked that mansion in the south of the city. It belongs to the Jiang family. If Jiangyuan's crime is committed, this mansion will be returned to the public sooner or later. You should not live there. You can move back to the Hou's mansion tonight." .”

Move back to Houfu
Ye Lingwu trembled all over: "No."

Shen Zhan frowned and said, "Why not? Didn't you also live in the Hou Mansion before?"

Ye Lingwu choked, and reacted: "How can it be the same? Before I left the cabinet, I could live in the old lady's Jinghetang. Now I have..." It seems that the word married is not very good at the moment , she quickly changed her words, "Anyway, not possible."

Shen Zhan said: "Then live in my mansion in the north of the city, which was rewarded by His Majesty a few years ago. It is much better than the small house you live in now, and it is also close to Ningbeihoufu."

Ye Lingwu was startled, and suddenly thought of the house in her dream.

It's beautiful, but it's cold, full of life and cool everywhere, giving people a suffocating sense of depression and coldness.

"...Don't worry about it, Lord Hou. Even if I have no place to live in the capital, I can go back to Yuzhou." Ye Lingwu's tone suddenly turned cold.

Seeing that her expression changed too quickly, Shen Zhan was puzzled and asked, "Are you angry?"

Ye Lingwu said: "No, Master Hou is too worried."

Shen Zhan lowered his face, seeing the alienated expression on the woman's face, he suddenly remembered that she had always treated him like this for a long time after she first entered the capital, alienated, polite, cautious...and afraid .

"I took the liberty just now. If you don't have a place to live, the old lady will worry about you."

Ye Lingwu's heart sank slightly, and then she realized that what she just said was a little too aggressive, so she replied softly: "No need, I don't want to trouble the old lady."

The car has been silent since then.

Back in Ningbei Hou Mansion, the sky was dark, Ye Lingwu got out of the carriage with her skirt in her hand, and when she was hesitating whether to go in, Shen Zhan grabbed her hand.

"Let's go, grandma should be eating at this time."

After saying that, Shen Zhan took Ye Lingwu to the mansion.

Along the way, she met many servants from the mansion, which made people lose their eyes. Ye Lingwu was ashamed and struggled all the way, but it was useless.

Those who march and fight have rough skin and thick flesh.

Being looked at by so many pairs of eyes can be indifferent.

Jinghetang lit a few bright lamps, and the room was brightly lit. Mrs. Shen was sitting at the dining table, just about to move her chopsticks, when she heard Tanchun rushing in: "Old lady, Master Hou and Miss Lingwu are here!"

Old lady Shen was not surprised, she already knew about Shen Zhan and Ye Lingwu entering the palace in the afternoon, but she was a little surprised that these two people would come to her Jinghe hall together.

Before I could figure it out, I saw that someone had already entered the house.

The old lady Shen's expression was very calm at first, and Mother Xuan wanted to reprimand Tan Chun for being a first-class envoy for being disrespectful in front of the master's house, but after the two elders saw the man and woman who came in hand in hand.

He was not calm anymore, and his face changed drastically immediately.

"You..." Mrs. Shen held her breath in her throat, and it was rare to see panic on her wrinkled face.

Ye Lingwu was frightened, and with all her strength, she pulled her hand away from Shen Zhan's big palm, raised her arms and bowed, "Old lady, I..."

"Grandma, my grandson is here tonight and I want you to discuss something." Shen Zhan interrupted her.

Old Mrs. Shen twitched her mouth twice, feeling a vague premonition in her heart, and said anxiously, "What is the agreement?"

Ye Lingwu's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she looked at Shen Zhan with her neck tilted, but he said with a firm expression: "Agreed on the engagement banquet between grandson and Ye Lingwu."
