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

Chapter 95 Breaking into the Night
When Xiaolian went back, she told Madam and Lin Miaofu about Lin Shuangyue's beating.

"The second old man really did it. Miss Shuangyue's face is swollen. I don't know if the swelling will go away in the past two days." Xiaolian has a good heart. Although she hates Lin Shuangyue, she still doesn't care when she sees her injured. I feel sorry for her consciously.

"I remember that I still have a few boxes of rouge in my warehouse, which can reduce swelling. You can go find them and send them to her." Lin Miaofu said lightly: "Pick out another set of pearl hair and face and send them to her. As for the clothes, , I remember I made a set of turquoise ones before and sent them over too.”

"Tell him not to dislike it. The clothes and jewelry are all new. I haven't worn them. It's just that he needs to change the size himself. The change should be completed in two or three days."

"The turquoise one will look better on her skin tone. If she doesn't like it, she can come back and choose from me."

Mother Lin opened her mouth, but did not interrupt. She just waited for Lin Miaofu to finish her instructions, took another sip of tea, and then joked: "My Fu'er has really grown up. We haven't seen each other for a year, and the arrangement is so clear that my mother can do it." I’m ashamed of myself.”

In the past, Lin Miaofu was used to calling the shots in the Marquis' Mansion, but she stole her mother's limelight. A look of embarrassment appeared on her face, and she acted coquettishly in Mother Lin's arms: "Mother is used to making fun of me, so I arranged it like this." Is there anything wrong?"

"It's just clothes. Isn't this face a little more expensive? Don't use your own. Since it was your father who asked me to take you out for jewelry, your father will naturally have to pay for it." Mother Lin blinked. He said: "It just so happens that I haven't had a good tour of the capital yet, so I will take your cousin with me tomorrow."

"Is that so? Then my father is going to bleed profusely?" Lin Miaofu cheered.

She has a gold shop in the capital, but the ones that come here are all custom-made. Many of them belong to others, and she doesn't have many.

"Your father is so poor that he only has money left. If you don't take advantage of the opportunity to spend more now, your brother and sister-in-law will have to take advantage of you in the future." Mother Lin said with a smile: "Of course I feel sorry for you, and I will help you knock it out." Take advantage of your father."

The person who said the instructions asked her to tell Father Lin what she said.

Lin Miaofu couldn't help but be speechless, feeling that the relationship between mother and father might be better than she imagined.

Mother and daughter were discussing where to go tomorrow, and then they were talking about the delicious food in the restaurant in Beijing.

Gu Zhao walked home and finally met Xia Duo and Jiang Huai. Jiang Huai was injured and was said to have risked his life to protect Xia Duo back. If it weren't for the people arranged by Gu Zhao to pick them up along the way, I'm afraid neither of them would be able to come back.

"What's going on?" Gu Zhao first arranged for Jiang Huai to be treated, and then asked someone to diagnose Xia Duo's pulse. After confirming that Xia Duo was just tired from the journey and had no serious injuries, he asked: "Could it be that there was a robbery on the road?"

"Your Majesty, what you expected is true." Xia Duo wiped the sweat from his head, his hands still shaking a little.

"If it hadn't been for little brother Jiang along the way, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to come back."

"Is it related to my uncle?"

Gu Zhao could think of the danger of going to Yanzhou this time, but he didn't expect it to be so dangerous.

"I don't know if that's true, but I have a guess." Xia Duo said: "When we went there, the journey was peaceful without any problems, until we found that the gate of Yanzhou City was closed tightly, and the inspection was very strict even in the daytime. "

"We asked for information outside and settled in a village."

"At night, little brother Jiang took advantage of his skill and went to the city."

"According to Brother Jiang, there were officers and soldiers everywhere in the city. He didn't dare to stay longer. He just took a quick look and came out."

"We originally planned to find a chance to sneak into the city the next day, but we couldn't. They heard that we had a Beijing accent and didn't allow us to enter the city."

Xia Duo took another sip of tea and then said: "I was careless at the time and didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. I waited an extra day with my two brothers. When we were sleeping at night, we were attacked. The house that took us in All the families were killed, and we were assassinated all the time on the way back to Beijing."

"How could this happen!"

Gu Zhao's eyes were full of disbelief.

How could the imperial court not know about the situation in Yanzhou?
"I understand. You go down and rest first." Gu Zhao thought for a while and then went to see Jiang Huai. There were some things that he wanted to know in detail. "Your Majesty." Jiang Huai was lying on the bed, his face as white as snow.

He didn't expect that in the short period of time when he took refuge with Gu Zhao, he would already encounter life-threatening danger twice. It was actually much more dangerous than before.

"You don't have to get up while you're lying down. I'm just here to ask you, what did you see in the city?"

"I saw many people wearing armor." Jiang Huai said: "I know the military uniforms of Duke Dingguo. They belong to them."

"What can you tell about the people who are chasing you?"

Jiang Huai closed his eyes and said, "They used the special skills of Xiu Chun Dao."

"you sure?"

"Your Majesty, I used to be a killer. I can use basically all weapons. Even if they deliberately changed the knife in their hands, I can tell by looking at the gesture of holding the knife."

Jiang Huai swallowed and said with some fear: "I didn't tell Master Xia about this because I was worried that he would be scared, but I think he should have guessed something."

"You've done a good job. Please take a good rest during this time." Gu Zhao's hands behind his back tightened, and he finally realized the seriousness of this matter.

On the treetops under the moon, Gu Zhao and Jiang Feng quietly arrived at the Lin Mansion.

After a few jumps, the two of them climbed over the wall and entered.

Jiang Feng felt uneasy in his heart, always feeling that this was really not a good idea.

If he really wanted to see Miss Lin, why not come to her door openly the next day? Do the whole Lin family dare not let him see her?

Why does it have to be so sneaky?

But he was just a subordinate, and he didn't dare to question his master like this, so he could only follow behind him with a bitter look on his face.

Although Jiang Huai was injured, he had to be taken care of. But Jiang Feng also received several whips for no reason, and he had to follow the prince with his injuries. It was really infuriating that people were more powerful than others.

"You stay outside and guard."

Gu Zhao strode into the courtyard. There was no one in the courtyard, and there was an octagonal glass lamp on in the room.

Wen Susu was very alert and shouted in a low voice: "Who?"

"It's me. Is your lady asleep?"

Hearing Gu Zhao's voice, Wen Susu felt a little unbelievable for no reason, and immediately asked: "Why did the prince come at such a time? The young lady has already laid down."

"You go in and see if she's asleep?"

Lin Miaofu had already woken up when Wen Susu made a sound, but she didn't want to get up in the middle of the night, so she pretended not to know.

But who knew Gu Zhao would be so persistent, so he could only say: "Susu, come here and help me change my clothes. Prince, please wait a moment."
