The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 133 Zhao Chen's Counterattack

On the day of the Lantern Festival, before nightfall, the Guo family was very lively.

The old lady Ji of Zhongyihou's mansion personally led her aunt's grandson Song Mingde to the door and asked Guo Baoyan to be her concubine.

The second master Guo Qi was shocked on the spot and looked at his wife in disbelief.Didn't it say last night that the prince of the Zhongyihou Mansion saved his daughter?Although he blamed his wife for not taking good care of his daughter, he was still very happy to find a good marriage because of a blessing in disguise. Why did he wake up and become this young man of the Song family in Cangzhou whom he had never heard of?
Xu Shi was more difficult to accept than him, staring at Song Mingde and asking: "Impossible, last night you clearly said that you belonged to Ji Zhao!"

Guo Qi originally hoped that there was a misunderstanding, but after hearing what his wife said, he suddenly understood that it was indeed the man in front of him who saved his daughter last night, and his heart sank.

The old lady Ji pursed her lips. Although her grandson made a fuss, the Xu mother and daughter had to blame themselves.She was too lazy to talk to such a vicious person, so she winked at Song Mingde and let him speak by himself.

Song Mingde made a long bow to Guo Qi and his wife, looked down at the ground and said: "Uncle and aunt, when Mingde passed the Jiuqu Bridge last night, he just happened to encounter Miss Guo falling into the water, and then he was busy saving people, so he didn't have time to speak. When asked who I was, my aunt probably only heard the words Zhongyihoufu, but didn't understand the rest, so she misunderstood. Mingde knew that it was a high prospect for me to marry Miss Guo, but there were already three matchmakers and six hires in the family. Wife, it’s not easy to give up, I can only wrong Miss Guo to be my concubine, of course, if uncle and aunt don’t agree, Mingde will treat it as never happened and return to Cangzhou immediately.”

"you……"

"What orders does Auntie have?" Song Mingde looked up at Xu, threatening.He used this excuse made up by Xu's mother and daughter to save them affection so that they can be relatives in the future. If Xu wants to repent, if he tells the truth and doesn't mention outsiders, Guo Qi alone will probably hate it. Her vicious and stupid wife, right?
As expected, Mrs. Xu swallowed back all the words she hadn't spoken yet.

The husband is incompetent, but his temper has the integrity of a man from the Guo family. If he finds out about her plotting Guo Baozhu with his daughter, he will scold his daughter at most, and he will probably divorce her!She has not been able to give birth to a son in the second room for so many years. It is all due to her husband being honest and not being disgusted by her mother-in-law. If the matter gets to the ears of the old man or Guo Yi, they will definitely let Guo Qi divorce her. ah!

But asking her only daughter to be a concubine, she is still a little-known person, she is really not reconciled.

Xu didn't know what to say, and stood behind Guo Qi with her head bowed.

Seeing this, the old lady Ji was not polite, she got up and said: "Mingde saved people out of kindness, in front of so many people, I had to come and take responsibility for fear of affecting Miss Guo's reputation. What we should do is already Done, you husband and wife have a good discussion, just give me a message before dark. If you agree, I will arrange for Mingde immediately. Don't be too wronged. Miss Guo. His wife is worried at home."

Mrs. Xu covered her handkerchief and wept silently. Guo Qi let out a long sigh and sent Mrs. Ji's grandfather and grandson out.

The incident got to Guo Baoyan's ears, and he smashed everything in the house, "Guo Baozhu must have planned to harm me!" She passed a letter to Ji Zhao, and Ji Zhao was probably suspicious and went to Guo Baozhu to make sure, that bitch Guo Baozhu Talent took the opportunity to harm her again, otherwise how could a man like Ji Zhao come up with such a vicious trick!
Regardless of Xu's obstruction, Guo Baoyan took two maids to Guo Baozhu's side.

Guo Baozhu is swinging in the backyard.The sun shone warmly on her body, and her head was gently swaying on the swing rope, thinking about the situation with Ji Zhao last night, the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.He was so happy to beat him, what a fool.

When he was enjoying himself, Guo Baoyan rushed over aggressively. Jingui wanted to stop him, but was pushed back by Guo Baoyan.

Guo Baozhu signaled Jingui and the others to step back and not to come over, but she was still sitting on the swing with her toes touching the ground, tilting her head to look at the cousin.

"You did that, right?" Guo Baoyan stood in front of Guo Baozhu and asked condescendingly.

Guo Baozhu smiled, swaying, and said: "I didn't do it. You are sorry for me. I was so stupid that I didn't see that you had a black heart in you, but someone saw it and avenged me. How about it, I just now Hearing that someone from Ji's family is coming, should I invite you to be the wife of the prince, or to be a concubine in Cangzhou?"

"You're still quibbling!" Guo Baoyan's face was as white as a ghost, and he had long since lost his usual dignified and generous appearance. You can find a better husband and son-in-law, and when you find out, just come and scold me, why do you treat me like this? As a concubine, I am your cousin, how could you hurt me like this!" Angry, he pointed at Guo Baozhu scratched his face.

Guo Baozhu didn't even try to hide, but when Guo Baoyan's hand was stretched out in front of her, she grabbed and twisted suddenly, she got up and bent over, and pressed Guo Baoyan to the ground.Guo Baoyan cursed, she turned him over, and before Guo Baoyan could react, he slapped him, the force was far from the slap Ji Zhao received.Guo Baoyan's delicate face immediately swelled up, and the bright red palm prints were shocking.

Guo Baoyan was dumbfounded, staring at his cousin above him in disbelief.Guo Baozhu didn't smile, nor was she angry, but her calm face was very much like Guo Zijing's, which made her panic and began to regret her impulsiveness just now.

Guo Baozhu didn't know what she was thinking, and she didn't bother to think about it. She sat on Guo Baoyan's stomach, took out the note from her cuff and waved it in front of Guo Baoyan's eyes, lightly said: "Since you think I did it, then I did it well." Now, you want to steal the man I like, to be honest, if it weren't for the sake of our surname Guo, I could have arranged for you a worse one, do you believe it?"

Guo Baoyan's face was pale, and he couldn't imagine what kind of person was worse.

Seeing that she was scared, Guo Baozhu continued: "You didn't end well, but your mother is fine. If I expose this matter, my grandfather will definitely let my second uncle divorce your mother. I'm hiding it now, not for you, I'm afraid that my grandfather, second uncle, and even my father will be sad. Our family is fine, and we can't let you two lose your harmony. If you are sensible, follow Ji Zhao and his cousin obediently, otherwise I just need to tell my brother, you will have What will happen, can you guess?"

Thinking of his cousin's ghostly appearance covered in blood the year before last, Guo Baoyan trembled uncontrollably.

Guo Baozhu still wanted to teach her a few more words, but saw his mother rushing over, and hurriedly threatened in a low voice: "Go back immediately, if you dare to come here again to make trouble, you will wait for your mother to accompany you in bad luck!" , obediently ran towards Mrs. Guo, bowed her head to explain and admit her mistake: "Mother, she is going to be a concubine, and she is not going to spoil her in front of me. I couldn't help but beat her up. Don't be angry. I will do it again in the future." Stop beating people!"

Only ghosts believe her words.

Mrs. Guo looked at Guo Baoyan who was in a state of distress over there, and sent two maids to send him back to the second room, while she carried her daughter to the upper room, and asked with a frown, "What's going on?" She knew everything about the second room. Yes, but there is something strange, not to mention how could Guo Baoyan fall into the water when he was in good health, he was saved after being rescued by Song Mingde, why is it rumored that it was Ji Zhao who rescued her?Ji Zhao once proposed marriage to his daughter, and there must be a connection.

Guo Baozhu blinked innocently: "I don't know, I wonder why she wants to be a concubine."

Of course she can't admit it, no matter how bad Xu's mother and daughter are, the second uncle is really good to her. She doesn't want her father and second uncle to have a rift because of this. More importantly, if she tells the truth, she and Ji Zhao's date That's it for now...

Her mouth was strict, Mrs. Guo couldn't ask anything, so she had to send her daughter away.

Guo Baozhu did not tell his family.

It was just that after Song Mingde returned to Cangzhou with the unwilling Guo Baoyan at the end of the month, she went to whisper to her second uncle Guo Qi for a long time.

Guo Qi was stunned, and after hearing what his niece said, all the previous puzzles could be explained clearly.

Compared with Gu Nianyi's niece who is a family member, his daughter...

Now that the matter has come to an end, Guo Qi listened to his niece's persuasion and did not apologize to his elder brother and sister-in-law. Apart from being ashamed, he dared not, for fear of his elder brother's anger.As for the Xu family, the two had been married for many years after all, and Guo Qi didn't expose it. He just took a girl from a good family as his concubine, and since then they have not entered the Xu family.Xu guessed that her husband probably knew something, so she didn't dare to express her dissatisfaction, so she shrank her neck and behaved like a man.

Entering February, all the streets and alleys in the capital are talking about the upcoming spring.

In the evening Zhao Chen and Zhao Yunting went back to the Hou Mansion, but he didn't look back at Zhuxuan directly as usual, but invited his father to the study.

Zhao Yunting stared at the eldest son: "Is there something wrong in the court?"

Zhao Chen looked at the door and asked: "The Empress Chunxi will personally choose the companion of the Fifth Prince from among the children of the aristocratic family. Father knows?"

Anything related to the prince is a big deal, how could Zhao Yunting not know, "Don't worry, I will tell Cheng An not to get ahead."

He is the emperor's man, and he is only loyal to the emperor, and he cannot get too close to the prince early on. If Zhao Han becomes the companion of the fifth prince, the Zhao family and King Rui will be entangled.Secondly, he didn't want Zhao Han to have too much promise. The higher the position, the more he wanted. The two sons, one strong and one weak, might be able to live in peace.

Zhao Chen shook his head and turned his head to look at him: "I have checked, Xianfei is interested in Zhao Han, even if he hides clumsiness, as long as Xianfei listens to the emperor's ears, the emperor will probably choose him." At least for now, it seems that, The emperor valued King Rui more, so even if he saw what Concubine Xian meant, he might not refuse. Of course, a smart person like Concubine Xian would definitely not call Zhao Han by name directly, and would speak more to satisfy the emperor.

Zhao Yunting frowned, he understood the position of concubine Xian in the heart of the emperor better than his son.Back then when the emperor was still a prince, he went to Liaodong on business, and the assassination on the way was only saved by the concubine Xian who sacrificed her life to save her, and the concubine Xian's eldest son, King Rui, was also conceived during that trip.

"I let Cheng Cheng stay at home sick..."

"No need." Zhao Chen smiled, got up and walked to his father, his voice was barely audible: "Father, you don't have to tell him anything, if he wants to be the fifth prince's companion, just let him behave well. Father, you Don't you think it's the most appropriate time for us to take action against the Northwest side?"

The emperor now wants to retain General Zhenbei to serve him. The Zhao family took the initiative to provoke the Qin family. The emperor must be dissatisfied. become.

To deal with General Zhenbei, the father and son have already planned the steps, and they only need to wait for the best opportunity to take them step by step, so Zhao Yunting understands what his son means by taking action, but at this juncture, General Zhenbei is unlucky to say nothing...

He was shocked, raised his head and asked Zhao Chen: "You and King Jing..."

Zhao Chen interrupted his wild speculation with a smile: "It has nothing to do with that side, I just don't like King Rui."

If King Rui directly set a trap for him to force him to stand in line, Zhao Chen would not be too angry, but King Rui attacked his wife's natal family, first bullying his sister-in-law who was young and ignorant, and then causing his wife to cry and worry, he would be ashamed if he didn't take revenge At the beginning, it was a guarantee to the wife and the father-in-law and mother-in-law.
