Doting on concubines and destroying wives? I don’t want to be the mistress of the Hou clan anymore.

Chapter 56 Marriage
It was night and it was raining heavily.

The raindrops hit the roof of the carriage shed with a crackling momentum.

"Ms. Lin, someone is blocking the carriage outside. It seems that the person coming is not malicious."

It was Jiang Huai who spoke.

Lin Miaofu sat by the car curtain and asked softly: "How many people are there?"

"Can't see clearly, there are about ten of them."

Lin Miaofu said: "Okay, it seems that the other party has a lot of people."

"Ask them to give way. If they don't want to, we will start fighting."

Perhaps because of living a lifetime, Lin Miaofu's character has been tempered to be very tough. She opened the curtain, stood on the shaft of the car, and looked coldly at the group of people blocking the road.

"Can you please let us pass, heroes?" Jiang Huai bowed his hands.

"That won't work!" The leader said coldly, "You won't survive today."

"Instead of causing trouble for me, you should send more people to stop the other two carriages. I... am just a bait."

At this time, Lin Miaofu had already raised all the car curtains, and there was nothing in the car.

The man in black took one look, and immediately made a judgment. He felt that he had fallen into the trap of alienation, and asked someone to check the carriage. It was true that no one was there.

After whispering a few words, some people took advantage of the night and left, but there were many who stayed.

"Even if you are an abandoned bait, we still have to kill you!"

With a wave of his hand, people from both sides of the street surrounded him, as if they wanted to kill and silence him.

Lin Miaofu naturally expected this scene. She glanced around and saw that there were no archers around.

The people who came were all holding daggers and had their faces covered so that their faces could not be seen clearly.

"Leave it to you."

Lin Miaofu put down the car curtain and felt much more at ease.

At least, they had confirmed that Gu Zhao was not on their carriage.

Although the people who came to surround and kill Lin Miaofu said they wanted to kill Lin Miaofu, they did not kill her. They seemed to be delaying her.

This was naturally within Lin Miaofu's calculations.

After all, in the capital of Gyeonggi Province, if one could casually kill someone on the street, wouldn't it be a disregard for national law?
Within a moment, Jiang Huai led his carriage out of the siege and went to a secluded yard.

There were no electric lights in the yard, but the moment the carriage stopped, the door opened. Apparently someone had been waiting at the door.

People filed in, and two people got out of the carriage, Gu Zhao and Lin Miaofu.

Gu Zhao was already a little feverish at this time. Although he held on and remained conscious, he was indeed seriously injured.

The doctor was already waiting in the house. He took Gu Zhao's pulse and prescribed medicine. Lin Miaofu had prepared many common medicinal materials in the house in advance, which came in handy at this time.

"Thank you, Miss Lin, for your help. I cannot thank you enough. We will remember this kindness."

Jiang Huai brought a few guards and gave Lin Miaofu a big gift.

They and Gu Zhao fought all the way back from the south and killed several people. Those who survived were more or less injured.

Fortunately, Lin Miaofu thought carefully and prepared a lot of medicine, so she was prepared.

"The Crown Prince and I are just grasshoppers on the same rope. When he is in trouble, I will naturally help him." Lin Miaofu said, "It will be dawn in a while, so hurry up and close your eyes."

"Although we left in time, the emperor will definitely know about this matter, and he will definitely ask the prince to ask."

Lin Miaofu sighed. It would have been better if she had stopped Gu Zhao earlier. Now that he was under siege, if he couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation, he might not be able to end well. Gu Zhao took the medicine and felt much better, but he had been traveling without sleep for several days, and his body couldn't bear it anymore.

But he still managed to gather his energy and asked Lin Miaofu to come over and talk.

"When it gets daybreak, I might go into the palace." Gu Zhao looked at the rain that was gradually subsided outside, and couldn't tell what his mood was.

Lin Miaofu's nose felt sour, and she felt inexplicably sad for him.

In his previous life, he was snatched away from the Duke's Mansion by his henchmen. At that time, he was seriously injured and almost died. Fortunately, he was able to survive with the help of the eldest prince.

"Then... what are your plans?"

Lin Miaofu sniffed and asked, "The young Marquis should know what I want him to do, and maybe he can make a fuss about it from those killers."

Gu Zhao shook his head: "It's useless. They are all dead soldiers and will never betray their master."

"But you can also make this matter bigger. At least let others know that someone is hunting you."

"If I meet His Majesty, I would like to ask him for marriage. Are you... willing?"

"What?" Lin Miaofu was so frightened that she took half a step back, a little at a loss.

"Sorry, I scared you." Gu Zhao lowered his eyelids slightly, and his thick eyelashes cast a shadow, making his expression even darker and inexplicable.

"If you don't want to, I won't force you. I need to get married during the filial piety period. Otherwise, after the Duke of the State abides by the system, he will choose a high-ranking Duke's wife to control the inner house. At that time, I will I can only choose Princess Shang.”

There was no ups and downs in what Gu Zhao said, but Lin Miaofu already understood what he was thinking, and he had decided to reconcile with the Duke on the surface.

He is still young and cannot confront the Duke of Guo head-on.

What happened today was that he was reckless.

He won't fall into such an obvious trap again in the future.

He wanted to find out why the kind and loving father in the past became so... with a ferocious face.

"Then..."

Lin Miaofu wanted to say that even if he was anxious to get married, he didn't have to choose herself.

After all, she was divorced from Renhe, and she was still the daughter of a merchant. Regardless of her status or reputation, she was not worthy of Gu Zhao.

"You are the wife my mother decided for me before she died. By marrying you, I will fulfill my mother's last wish."

Gu Zhao seemed to see the problem in Lin Miaofu's heart and said softly: "Don't worry, if you don't want to, I will never force you."

"I know that when you were with Liang Yuqi, you were plotted by him and had a hard time." Gu Zhaodao: "I dare not say that I am the best candidate for your husband, but I will definitely respect your choice."

"If you can promise me, I can make a three-part agreement with you..."

Seeing that Lin Miaofu remained silent, Gu Zhao's heart sank little by little. He smiled to himself, feeling that he was really self-righteous.

"Okay. I can promise you."

Lin Miaofu was holding Mrs. Jiang's jade pendant in her hand, and her heart was not at all peaceful.

"But we have to make an agreement." Lin Miaofu said slowly: "I will help you take care of the chores in the house so that you don't have to be distracted, and I will also run various industries well, but...if one day I want to leave I hope the prince will let me go."

"it is good."

The two reached a tacit understanding about getting married.

Lin Miaofu felt a little embarrassed and wondered whether she should tell Gu Zhao that she was not sleeping with Liang Yuqi. She also felt that telling her so bluntly was too deliberate, so she didn't tell Gu Zhao in the end.

"I don't know how the little Marquis is doing."
