Nong Zhaohua

Chapter 171

Aunt Gong died, Gong Ruquan was rescued, but the farce in Dingguo's mansion was not over yet.

Xie Guozhang asked Mrs. Liu to check her dowry before leaving the Dingguo Mansion. Mrs. Liu is an imperial wife, but she has a title, that is, the kind of imperial wife who is not enshrined solely because of her husband's achievements. She is a first-class lady Therefore, even after breaking away from Xie Guozhang, her status as the imperial wife will not be damaged.

Everyone blamed Xie Guozhang, saying that he doted on his concubine and killed his wife, and was ungrateful. If Dingguo's mansion hadn't been supported by the Liu family in Hengyang, how could it have the glorious lintel it is today. As the wife of the Duke, the Liu family has always been calm and prudent. There was nothing wrong with it, but Ding Guogong was still not satisfied with what she did so well, and she wanted to divorce Liu's family regardless of decades of husband and wife. His character has aroused great controversy.

Liu's dowry is very rich, more than 20 accountants have been checking for three days and three nights before they can be considered complete, because Liu's own dowry and Xie's family business are managed separately, so as long as the accounts are correct, there is nothing wrong Where things are unclear, on the fourth day, Mrs. Liu took her people and things, together with Mrs. Gu and the children, left Dingguo Mansion, and moved to her new house in the middle of Xuanwu Street. It has been five or six years since the construction was completed, and all of them were built according to Liu's own preferences. They are not ostentatious, not luxurious, simple and grand, and the most important thing is that there are several special greenhouses inside, where exotic flowers and plants can be cultivated. When the time is right, you can take it out of the greenhouse for viewing. After the house is built, it has always been the envy of women in Beijing. The Liu family will entertain guests and hold banquets in this house every year. It is an extremely comfortable place.

Yan Zhaohua has been staying with Mrs. Liu in Dingguo's mansion these days. He originally thought Mrs. Liu would be depressed, but after getting along for the past two days, Yan Zhaohua found that Mrs. Liu was not only not depressed, but also showed signs of depression from time to time. With a relaxed expression of relief, when all the accounts were checked, Liu's dowry was stripped from Xie's family property, Liu didn't want to stay in Dingguo's mansion for a moment, and packed up his things early in the morning on the fourth day. in the garden.

It took two days for Yan Zhaohua to return to the Marquis of Changning. Yan Xiu Xiumu was at home. A few days ago, he sent someone to help the Liu family move. When Yan Zhaohua came back, he said:
"You don't have to worry too much. Your grandmother is an extremely smart person. She won't do things that are not sure."

Yan Zhaohua asked Yan Xiu, "Don't you know why my grandmother did this?" Logically speaking, if it wasn't for some special event, the Liu family had endured Xie Guozhang for so many years, how could they suddenly be unable to bear it anymore? .

Yan Xiu sighed: "Your grandmother was disappointed in your grandfather, and she endured him for the sake of the children all these years. This time, your grandmother has gone too far. If your grandmother continues to endure, it will do no good to anyone." Good result. Don't think about these things, go back and see if your wedding dress is embroidered..." Yan Xiu paused for a while, just when Yan Zhaohua thought he had finished speaking and was about to leave, Yan Xiu suddenly added sincerely: "I think Pei Xuan is a pretty good kid!"

Yan Zhaohua looked at Yan Xiu in surprise: "Father, didn't you think he was not optimistic in the past? You thought he only knew how to read and had no skills?"

Hearing what his daughter said, Yan Xiu was a little embarrassed, coughed lightly, and said, "It's nothing."

After finishing speaking, Yan Zhaohua inevitably continued to question and laughed at him, Yan Xiu raised his hand to Yan Zhaohua, meaning to tell her to go back quickly.Yan Xiu's words let Yan Zhaohua know that this time about Aunt Gong, the two couples along the side must have been sent by Pei Xuan to quickly find out, because Yan Xiu didn't know that Pei Xuan was very concerned about this matter. After searching for a long time, I thought it was when Pei Xuan said those words last time and took the initiative to undertake the investigation in front of him. In such a short time, he could investigate the things decades ago so thoroughly. It can be regarded as recognition of Pei Xuan's ability.

Back at Qingque Residence, Yan Zhaohua asked Ranxiang to fetch water for her to take a bath. He was really busy these days and was too tired. Although he didn't really need to do anything, he just stayed with her by Liu Shi's side, but the burden in his heart She is still relatively older. She once asked Mrs. Liu privately what was going on. Mrs. Liu only said that she would find out in the future, but she didn't tell the reason why she insisted on separating from Xie Guozhang. If she didn't tell, Yan Zhaohua It's not easy to ask too much.

Ranxiang asked the little maid to pour hot water for Yan Zhaohua, and took clean clothes into the bathroom, and waited for Yan Zhaohua to sit in the bucket. Yan Zhaohua wanted to soak for a while, so he asked Ranxiang to go out. , call her in again.

Enveloped in hot water, Yan Zhaohua exhaled comfortably, washed his face with the water sprinkled with flower petals, and was about to lean against the wall of the barrel and close his eyes to rest, when he heard a noise at the door, Yan Zhaohua thought it was incense, Asked: "What's wrong with dyeing incense?"

But there was no response, a flash in Yan Zhaohua's mind, he opened his eyes suddenly, and saw a person standing outside the screen. He didn't probe, but he was standing behind the screen. Yan Zhaohua knew the boots, and when he slapped the water, growled in a low voice:

"Pei Xuan, what are you pretending to do?"

The shadow behind the screen paused, didn't dare to show his face, and said aggrievedly: "I didn't know that you were taking a bath without clothes on, and you wanted to hide in the bathroom to scare you." The picture of his blood spurting, Pei Xuan didn't know how much mental strength he had spent, so he barely restrained himself from looking at him, and resisted not rushing in.

Yan Zhaohua: ...

Looking down at his current appearance, Yan Zhaohua suddenly realized why Pei Xuan reacted like this, lowered his head in embarrassment, and said to the outside of the screen:
"You go outside and wait for me, I'll be out in a while."

Pei Xuan was a little bit reluctant, but he was still a gentleman, hesitantly walked away from the screen, Yan Zhaohua stood up from the bathtub when he saw him leave, wiped himself dry, put on clean home clothes, and then He walked out with wet long hair.

Yan Zhaohua, who was filled with water vapor, looked as fresh and natural as the petals after the rain, which made Pei Xuan's heart bursting with joy. Now he couldn't help it anymore, strode over, and pulled Yan Zhaohua into his arms Here, hugging, holding, like a baby, it took a long time for Si to let her go.

Yan Zhaohua was out of breath, and came out of Pei Xuan's arms, feeling that he had just taken a shower, and he was covered in sweat and his hair was wet. He sat down in front of the dressing table with his mouth pouted, combed his hair and wiped his face.

Pei Xuan followed, and took a mahogany comb from Yan Zhaohua's hand. Under Yan Zhaohua's unsure eyes, he put the comb aside for the time being, picked up the Songjiang Brocade that he was drying aside, and gently laid it on Yan Zhaohua's hands. Zhaohua wiped the top of Zhaohua's head, carefully and gently, the brocade scarf slid on Yan Zhaohua's head, and Yan Zhaohua kept staring at Pei Xuan, enjoying his thoughtfulness, and couldn't help pursing his lips secretly. Laughing, Pei Xuan didn't seem to see her sniggering, and he focused all his attention on combing her hair. He lifted Yan Zhaohua's hair unskilledly, and combed it gently with a mahogany comb. Yan Zhaohua's hair was very soft. It's very thin, and it's like a piece of fine silk in your hands, making Pei Xuan love it.

Yan Zhaohua looked at his picturesque profile in the mirror, and asked, "Did you send someone to look for those two couples along the side? Did you receive the note I had someone give you last time?"

Pei Xuan looked back at Yan Zhaohua from the mirror, and nodded with a smile: "Got it, it was because I received your note that I thought of looking for it along the side. Think of him."

Yan Zhaohua looked back at Pei Xuan in surprise: "Is it really him?"

Pei Xuan nodded: "It's him! In fact, I have been suspicious for a long time, but I have not been sure. It was not until I investigated the past of Wang Gonggong that I was sure that this matter was related to him. It is really unexpected that he is also a scholar. I can't think about running to the palace and becoming a eunuch."

With Pei Xuan's confirmation, Yan Zhaohua felt that the doubts that had been perplexing her mind had finally been answered. What she couldn't figure out was why Gong Ruquan didn't do anything well in her last life, but she ended up as a eunuch. The imperial concubine ascended to the throne, and then took revenge on the Xie family. Ordinary people would not choose to start as an eunuch if they wanted to climb high. Can't get rid of the relationship.

This is also one of the reasons why Yan Zhaohua doubted Wang Fuquan, because she knew the path that Gong Ruquan had traveled in her last life, so she had an extra heart, but Pei Xuan didn't know this, so he could notice this, it is really very strange Amazing.

"The original name of the prince was Wang Kui. After entering the palace, he followed the eunuch of the imperial dining room. Because he could make authentic ham and soup dumplings, he was promoted by the queen mother. He went to the imperial court to serve him. He has been cautious for so many years and has never left anything behind. Asshole, no one would associate him with a concubine of a Duke of the State, so when investigating Gong before, they did not investigate him as well, only now did they find out that there is a problem."

While combing Yan Zhaohua's hair, Pei Xuan told her the results of his investigation.

Yan Zhaohua sat quietly, like a lily that was just about to bloom, pure and fresh in its freshness: "Gong Ruquan was rescued, I think it is probably this prince who did it."

Pei Xuan had no objection to this point, nodded and said: "Well, it's him! Just a few days before I found him, I found out that he had actually been in contact with Gong's for a while in private, and knew that there was a son named Gong Ruquan Yes, by the way, Gong’s was not taken into the mansion by the Duke of the State as a concubine back then. The hush money she gave to the mother-in-law was given by Wang Fuquan, which was almost all his assets plus the money for his own cleansing. , it can be regarded as a deep affection for Gong."

Hearing this, Yan Zhaohua thought that Mrs. Gong died just like that. The Mrs. Gong in her previous life was not to mention how beautiful she was, and climbed up from a lowly concubine to the position of Mrs. Guo. At that time, Mrs. Xie was still there, and Yan Zhaoning The third lady who is still loved by everyone...
