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

Chapter 96 Night Talk
Lin Miaofu complained slightly to Gu Zhao in her heart, not knowing how he came at this time.

But I actually knew in my heart that Gu Zhao was not a reckless person. If the situation was not urgent, he would not do such a gaffe.

Lin Miaofu's hair was loose and she wore a cloak outside, wrapping her whole body tightly.

"What's wrong, come to me so late?"

Gu Zhao opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, but just looked at Lin Miaofu silently.

Lin Miaofu smiled and said, "Since you won't tell me, let's talk about me first."

Lin Miaofu told what her father had done to Lin Shuangyue during the day, and then casually talked about the Jiang family's hair-raising ceremony, and asked him if he would participate.

"It's not convenient for me to go there, but I will give you some gifts." Lin Miaofu asked, and Gu Zhao answered, seeming to have many things hidden in his heart.

Lin Miaofu didn't ask any further questions, she just kept talking about what happened in the past few days.

"Hey, several ladies I know well have invited me to their banquets a few days ago, but I rejected them all. I'm thinking that I don't know what to say if we meet this time." Lin Miaofu looked at Gu Zhao, looked like he was waiting for him to help him find a solution.

Although he knew that she was fooling him, Gu Zhao gradually became less nervous and seemed to be infected by her simple life.

"Why don't you just tell the truth and say you don't want to participate."

"How can that be done!" Lin Miaofu stared at Gu Zhao in disbelief: "Oh, if I say that, I'm afraid it will be spread in the capital soon. I took advantage of your influence to dare to So arrogant."

"So what?" Gu Zhao had a smile in his eyes, a bit doting.

"Yes, you will have a good reputation by then. Others will only say that I have a good life and climb a high branch like you." Lin Miaofu said angrily: "You don't know that words spoken among women are a sharp tool to induce death. , if you are not careful, you will become a knife in the hands of others."

The corners of Gu Zhao's mouth turned up slightly, but he didn't refute.

"Then what do you think?"

"I didn't think about it. I planned to see who would mention it. If I thought about it, I shouldn't be afraid if Mrs. Mei is here."

Speaking of this, Lin Miaofu showed some distress: "It's just that Lin Shuangyue is a bit unpredictable to me."

Lin Miaofu talked about what Lin Shuangyue had done before, and said: "It wasn't until today that her father forced her second uncle to send her to the temple, and she showed her fangs."

"If this is the case, she is a person who can see things clearly." Gu Zhao sighed. There are many smart people in this world, but there are very few people who can see their own situation clearly.

Lin Shuangyue was able to see her situation clearly and do whatever it took to achieve her goals.

If I were really the kind of person with soft ears, I'm afraid I would fall into her trap today.

When the time comes, when a man and a woman are alone in the same room, even if nothing happens, they will have to suffer the loss of being dumb.

And in order to calm the situation, they must agree to something.

Fortunately, he is not someone who is at the mercy of others.

"Why does uncle want to use her?"

Lin Miaofu tilted her head and looked at Gu Zhao, smiling sadly: "Of course it's to guard against you."

"Ah?" Gu Zhao was a little dumbfounded. This answer was something he had never thought of.

Seeing Gu Zhao's unprepared look, Lin Miaofu's smile deepened.

"My father is worried that Liang Yuqi's affairs will repeat the same mistakes, and he wants to install an informant in the capital." Lin Miaofu sighed: "My mother is old, and my father is not willing to let her get upset. He doesn't know where his future sister-in-law is, so he can only retreat. The next best thing is to find my cousin."

There was another idea that Lin Miaofu didn't mention.

Even if Lin Shuangyue did something to anger Gu Zhao and was killed by Gu Zhao, it would still be someone from outside. Gu Zhao touched his nose. He didn't know whether to praise his father-in-law for his foresight or to be angry that he didn't trust him. He felt very complicated.

"Hey, I tell you this because I believe you. Don't resent my father."

"But if I really betray you, what should you do?"

"Then what can I do? Don't I have to accept my fate? You are different from Liang Yuqi. You are a noble with real power. I don't know how to escape unscathed."

After saying that, he pretended to sigh in distress.

Gu Zhao's mouth grinned involuntarily, but he quickly retracted it, pretending to be cool and said: "Don't worry, I won't do anything sorry for you."

Lin Miaofu looked away with some guilt, and faced Gu Zhao in time. It was not that she had no way to protect herself, but she couldn't just say it directly.

Then he changed the subject and said: "Tomorrow I plan to take my mother and Shuangyue to visit the bustling capital and buy some things. Do you know any interesting places?"

Gu Zhao went to Yanzhou for training when he was very young. He was far less familiar with the affairs of the capital than Chen Jue, and he couldn't help but feel a little different.

Lin Miaofu could see it and couldn't help teasing: "Hey, I'm just asking too much, how do you know these places. If I ask you where the gold-selling cave in the Eight Great Alleys is, you should be Menqing."

"Cough." Gu Zhao almost choked on his own saliva, a trace of regret flashed across his face, and then he cleared his throat and said, "I don't understand what you are talking about."

"Oh, I don't believe it!"

Lin Miaofu said with a look that she had already seen clearly: "A place like this is the most suitable for banquets for petty officials. If you want to take over the business of river improvement, the people above don't have to pay, but the people below have to make arrangements until These places are normal, so what do I mind?”

She said it calmly, but it was different in Gu Zhao's ears.

"Why don't you mind?"

Gu Zhao had seen how his parents were in love. At that time, his mother would feel sad just by looking at other women.

But she said she didn't mind.

"Of course it's because you are just acting on occasion. I still know my own status." Lin Miaofu thought for a while, but she still wanted to explain her words clearly to him: "I married you because I asked for protection. , I don’t expect the rest.”

Just one sentence made Gu Zhao's heart hit rock bottom.

"Is there nothing else?"

Lin Miaofu could tell what answer he wanted, and just said: "Although a person's life is long, he can do very few things. Your Majesty, all I want in my life is for a person to live and work in peace and contentment, and for my family to be safe. The rest will be Think of something else.”

"I know." Gu Zhao's eyes became a little sad again, and then he asked: "How can I make you feel at ease?"

Lin Miaofu opened her mouth, unable to speak, so she could only respond in silence.

After all, she couldn't say that she knew that next summer, the eldest prince would rebel.

Gu Zhao nodded, as if he understood something.

"How did you know?"

"what?"

This question was particularly cold, as if Lin Miaofu was poured cold water on her head.

"Did you notice something that made you think I couldn't protect you?"
