Return of Jin Yi

Chapter 135 Lord Hou, What Are You Doing?

In the front hall, Marquis Dingnan drank three cups of tea before Chu Ci rushed over from the backyard. The moment he saw Chu Ci, he immediately put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and said, "Miss Chu is here?"

Chu Ci nodded, and gave him another blessing, and then sat down and asked, "Master Hou, what's going on at the tavern? Did Zhexia and the others escape?"

"Don't worry, the concubine, the Marquis personally went to the city and went to the tavern to see it. After the government sent people to put out the fire, no corpse was recovered from it, so whether it is your maidservant or the Marquis's subordinates It's safe."

Hearing what he said, Chu Ci couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Zhexia is fine!It's fine!She has already lost a hug month, and almost lost a zhejin, she can't lose another zhexia!

"Please Lord Hou take me back to my residence immediately!" Chuci heard that Zhexia was fine, looked up at Marquis Dingnan, and asked again.

Now Dingnanhou did not refuse, he nodded, stretched out his hand as an invitation gesture, and said, "Let's go, Benhou will personally escort the girl into the city."

Hearing what he said, Chu Ci was slightly taken aback, "Does Hou Ye have nothing else to do?"

Dingnanhou looked at her blankly, "Nothing is more important than your safety!"

After Chu Ci finished speaking, his face suddenly turned aside, he took half a step back, frowned and questioned, "Master Hou, what does this mean?"

"Benhou means..." Dingnanhou looked at her with burning eyes, and after pondering for a moment, he added, "Benhou means that last night, Benhou promised that Miss Zhexia would take good care of Chu. Miss, then naturally Miss Chu should be sent back to the Chu residence safely, and it is considered as a trustworthy thing, Miss Chu said?"

"It turns out...you were entrusted by that girl Zhexia!" Chu Ci finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what he said, and then forced a smile at her, saying, "If that's the case, then we Let's go, I've been away for a whole day, and I still don't know if anything happened in the house!"

"En." Ding Nanhou looked at her and nodded, "Then let's go now, there just happened to be a carriage outside the villa that was not unloaded, so it's easy to set up the carriage!" After speaking, he walked out first.

Chu Ci hurriedly followed behind him.

The two left the Qingmoss Villa, there was indeed a carriage parked outside, but there was no sign of Dingnanhou Mansion on it, it looked like a servant sitting on it, very ordinary.

"Miss Chu, please!" After arriving beside the carriage, Marquis Dingnan stopped, turned around and gave way politely to Chu Ci.

Chu Ci nodded, and stepped on the ladder to get into the car first.

Dingnan Hou got into the carriage after her.

The two sat on the left and right sides, with a small table in between. After Chu Ci sat on it, he lowered his head as if closing his eyes and meditating. Ding Nanhou looked at her with a smile in his eyes , but said nothing.

The carriage drove all the way to the city.

Two hours later, the carriage stopped outside the Chu residence.

"Master Hou, Miss Chu, the Chu residence is here!" The guard driving the carriage outside announced through the curtain.

When Chu Ci heard this, her eyelids moved slightly, she looked at Dingnanhou again, she bowed her hands and thanked solemnly, then stood up and was about to get out of the car.

Ding Nanhou watched her figure walk out quickly, with his sleeves fluttering, he felt a refreshing fragrance drifting past his nose.

When she reached out to lift the curtain, he still couldn't control the demon in his heart after all, and raised his hand to grab her wrist.

"Master Hou, what are you doing?" Chu Ci was taken aback, her face turned livid in an instant, while watching him questioning him angrily, she tried all her strength to pull herself out.

But Ding Nanhou was on the battlefield at the same time as Meng Jing, so how could she be able to compete with that strength? After fighting for a long time, his wrist was about to break, but he still couldn't break free from her.

And he, looking into her eyes, said word by word in a deep voice, "This Marquis already knows about the Princess Nanjun!"

"So what?!" Chu Ci frowned, looking at him angrily and questioning.

"..." Marquis Dingnan held her wrist firmly, and said in a hoarse and serious voice, "I just want to tell you, if the Lu family doesn't want you, then I want you! I'm willing to give my all," Treat you well, treat you like the flesh on the tip of my heart, love you, protect you, anyone who wants to hurt you must step on my dead body! "

"Dingnanhou, what nonsense are you talking about!" Chu Ci heard him talking too much, and his heart became more angry, and his movements to pull back his wrist became more violent, even his eyes were a little red, and he said angrily to him, "You Let me go, let me go!"

"I won't let you go!" Dingnanhou looked as if he would never let her go, looked into her eyes, and said hotly and decisively, "I finally waited for such an opportunity, I have to tell you Clearly, Ah Ci, I like you. I fell in love with you the first time I saw you on the second floor of Jinling Shuanghua Building... Now, I don’t ask you to give me a result right away. After Lu Yifeng leaves, he can consider me and let me join the team! I can have a chance to take care of you for the rest of your life!"

Hearing what she said, Chu Ci bit her lower lip tightly.

Anger was raging in her heart, and the rising flames couldn't be controlled at all. She wanted to slap him and tell the man in front of her that she would not separate from Lu Yifeng. She never planned to do so!She wanted to scold him that all his plans were delusions and dreams!However, when she met his pair of eyes that were so hot that they could almost burn everything, she felt a thrill in her heart!
No, she couldn't provoke him, emotional men can't stand stimulation.The more stimulated, the more terrifying their corresponding reactions.

What's more, he just saved his life, so she can't be an ungrateful person.

Thinking like this, she almost exhausted all her endurance to suppress the anger in her heart, then looked at him coldly, and said, "I know what Hou Ye said, if one day, I really I was expelled from the Lu family and wanted to remarry, so I will give you a good consideration, Lord Hou!"

"A Ci, you, what you said is true?" Ding Nanhou looked surprised, and he held Chu Ci's wrist even tighter.

Chu Ci gasped, then looked at his already blue wrist, and said in a low voice, "Master Hou, can you let me go now?"

Hearing Chu Ci's question, Marquis Dingnan followed her gaze and realized that he had inadvertently gripped her wrist until it turned blue.

"Aci, I..." Dingnan Hou showed a look of panic on his face, anxiously wanting to apologize.

Chu Ci shook his head indifferently, "Master Hou, don't need to say more, if there is nothing else, I want to go back and rest first!"

"Then I'll take you off the car!" Ding Nanhou still wanted to go down with her.

Chu Ci frowned, and waved his hand to stop him, "No need, I'm still from the Lu family, Lord Hou had better pay attention to his identity."

"Yes, what you said is right!" Marquis Dingnan lowered his head slightly and smiled shyly, his bronzed face was full of embarrassment.

Chu Ci withdrew his hand, turned around and got out of the carriage.

Before getting out of the car, she paused for a moment, turned her head, and said to the people inside through the curtain, "Also, the name A Ci is not something you can call Hou Ye. I hope Hou Ye knows what it means to be innocent." , What is melon field plums!"

After saying this, she didn't stay for another second, and she didn't even bother to step on the car ladder, so she jumped out of the car and headed for Chu's house.

In the carriage, Ding Nanhou looked at her back, thinking of what she said just now, his face turned black again.

After a long time, he told the driver outside, "Go back to Qingmoss Villa."

Chu house.

After Chuci came back, he immediately asked Aunt Wu if Zhexia had been back.

After getting a negative answer, she went to Yiying's room without stopping.

When she entered, Yiying was paying homage to a tablet on the incense table outside, the name written on it should be her grandfather.

Chu Ci didn't bother her, but took the other three incense sticks, and also bowed to the tablet.

It was also when she stepped forward to insert incense that Yi Ying, who was kneeling on the ground, noticed her.

Busily stood up from the futon, and asked anxiously, "Sister, are you back? How is the county palace? Is brother Yifeng's mother really..."

"En." Chu Ci nodded, then dragged her to Luohan's bed and sat down, and told her what happened last night.

After hearing what she said, Yi Ying immediately guessed what she meant, "Sister, you want me to use Zhifan Chong to help you find sister Zhexia?"

Chu Ci nodded, paused, and asked again, "Is it convenient for you now?"

"It's convenient for me at any time!" She said, she got off the ground and went to the Duobao Pavilion not far away to find the few remaining worms.

Seeing that she was willing to help, Chu Ci didn't say anything more, and said she went to find Zhexia's clothes and walked out.

When Chuci brought back Zhexia's clothes, Yiying knew that Fanchong had almost prepared.

She lifted the lid and poured a worm on Zhexia's clothes.

A quarter of an hour later, the worm shook its transparent wings and flew out... Yiying saw it, and hurriedly shouted to the void outside, "Brother Qing, hurry up and chase this returning worm to bring Sister Zhexia back !"

Outside, when Qingsi heard Zhexia's voice, a gust of wind swirled immediately, and followed Zhihuichong to the outside of the Chu residence...

He came back an hour later, saluted Chu Ci, and then explained Zhexia's current situation.

After listening to Chu Ci, a smile couldn't help but floated on his face, and said, "It's good to stay in Ruyi Building, and Chef Li is taking care of her, so it's better than anyone else."

Yi Ying didn't know about the relationship between Zhe Xia and Chef Li. Hearing what Chu Ci said, she inevitably showed some doubts on her face, and asked while holding her arm, "Why did my sister say that Chef Li took care of Zhe Xia's sister?" What's the best?"

"Of course it's because the two of them are in love!" Chu Ci smiled, and then told the story of Zhe Xia and Chef Li again.

After Yiying heard this, she smiled like a little mouse who stole oil to eat, "Even if sister wants to take sister Zhexia back to recuperate, I'm afraid sister Zhexia won't!"

"You are the only one who is clever!" Chu Ci lightly poked the little girl in Yiying's forehead.

After being poked by her like this, Yi Ying's smile deepened, showing no worries.

Seeing her like this, Chu Ci felt a little envious of her temper that was so happy to be kind and friendly, and that she could afford to let go.

Although these days came, she didn't say clearly that she would no longer be a concubine to King Lu Xiaojun, but judging from her performance, I'm afraid she had already forgotten about it.

The two laughed and quarreled for a while before Chu Ci left her wing and returned to his Xie Ci residence.

But for some reason, Xie Ciju, which is warm and cozy on weekdays, is surprisingly cold today.

She sat on the Arhat's bed with her legs crossed, and what she couldn't help but flashed in front of her eyes was the loving appearance of Lu Xiaojun Wang here in the past.

Thinking of this, she only felt that her body was getting colder, even the burning earth dragon could not warm her lost heart.

To be honest, she really didn't want to be separated from King Lu Xiaojun.

She also admitted that if the two reconciled, she would not be as chic as when she reconciled with Meng Jing for the first time.

Because deep down in her heart, these two people are very different.

In the beginning with Meng Jing, she was extremely passive. In this marriage with him, when the two were never equal, he was the one who threatened her and forced her to submit. The same goes for the child... So, during the six months she was with him, her feelings for him were always a bit of fear of life and death.

But unlike King Lu Xiaojun, the two of them have always been equal. He dared to slap the table to mock her, and she dared to beat him and make trouble with him. But later, in the daily relationship, little by little, the love developed over time.

After leaving Meng Jing, she might be with another man again.

But if she leaves Duke Lu Xiaojun, she is afraid that she will never choose another man for the rest of her life.

Thinking of this, her eye sockets suddenly turned red, and tears slowly filled her entire eye sockets.

What to do, what to do?She really didn't want to be separated from him!

When Aunt Wu came in from the outside to serve, she saw Chu Ci like this.

Their whole family was saved by Chu Ci. In the past few years, Chu Ci has been kind to their family of three. It can be said that Aunt Wu treats Chu Ci as her own girl.

Seeing her crying now, Aunt Wu's heart also counted in an instant. She walked up a few steps, then put on a dress for Chu Ci, and asked softly, "What's wrong with the girl? Why are you crying so hard?" ?”

Chu Ci looked up at Aunt Wu, but was too embarrassed to tell her what was on his mind.

Just as he was feeling silent and uncomfortable, another footstep suddenly came from outside, and then Ah Chun, who was newly trained by Aunt Wu, walked in from outside, bowed and said, "Girl, Uncle Wu asked his servant to come in and tell you, there is someone outside who calls himself Xue The minister wanted to see him, so he asked if you would like to see him?"

Xue Shangshu?
When Chu Ci heard these three words, she immediately thought of Xue Shang and Xue Ling, and then thought that Xue Ling's face had not been resolved, she quickly put away the sadness in her eyes, and said to Ah Chun, "See! You let the housekeeper take people away Invite you to drink tea in the front hall, I'll be there soon!"

"Yes! Girl!" Ah Chun agreed, and walked outside.

Chu Ci watched her leave, turned around and told Aunt Wu, "Aunt Wu, I'm going to meet guests in the front hall later, please wait for me to change clothes!"

When Aunt Wu heard what Chu Ci said, she said "Hey", and then went to the cage to get her clothes.

After changing clothes, when she went out with her, Aunt Wu couldn't help but asked again, "Girl, just now, were you sad for my uncle?"

Chu Ci listened to her guess, but said nothing. She already had an idea in her heart, smiled at her, and walked outside.

In the front hall, Xue Shangshu waited for a while before Chu Ci came over.

Seeing Chu Ci enter the living room, he hurriedly got up and saluted, "I have seen the concubine Shizi! Greet the concubine Shizi!"

"Xue Shangshu, please sit down!" Chu Ci said indifferently, and then sat down opposite him.

"I don't know if Xue Shangshu came to the door today, what's the matter?" After taking a sip of tea, she put down the cup, looked at Xue Shangshu and asked unhurriedly.

Hearing her question, Xue Shangshu felt embarrassment on his face. After pondering for a while, he stood up again, saluted her again, and then said, "To be honest, Princess Concubine, Linger The matter of the Gu has been investigated by the officials, and the Gu on her body has also been solved?"

"Really?" Chu Ci looked at Xue Shangshu with a half-smile expression on his face, and after a moment's pause, he said "Congratulations" sincerely.

Xue Shangshu listened to her congratulations, but there was no joy on his face, only deep grief and embarrassment.

"Do you want to know how this Gu fell on Ling'er's face?" Xue Shangshu pondered for a while, until he calmed down all the expressions on his face, and then looked at Chu Ci, and asked in a deep tone.

Chu Ci turned serious, looked at him and said, "After all, this matter is also related to the business of my family's Ruyifang. If your lord is willing to tell the truth, then I am naturally willing to listen!"

"The thing is like this!" Xue Shangshu heard that Chuci was willing to listen, and then heaved a long sigh, and endured the embarrassment, and said all the things in his family, "On that day... from the concubine Shizi mentioned something After the official, the lower official asked someone to check the source of the rouge. The rouge was indeed bought by the little girl from the rouge shop, but the rouge not only passed through the hands of the maid and Ruyifang, but actually passed through another person. hand."

"Then who is that person?" Chu Ci asked.

Some truths are already coming out.

Xue Shangshu sighed, and said, "It's my younger sister, the concubine Shizi, the wife of the Jiang family."

"Mrs. Jiang's family?" Chu Ci took a breath, with a shocked and puzzled expression on his face, "But Mrs. Jiang is not from Zhen Guogong's sect, so how could she help Chengenhou's mansion?"

"This is not caused by those money interests!" Xue Shangshu snorted coldly, paused for a moment, looked at Chu Ci and said, "The concubine may not know, my sister also hates you a little yes."

"Madam Jiang hates me?" Chu Ci's expression was a little dazed, and after a while, he seemed to think of something, and said, "Could it be that she hated me because I didn't do business with her back then? "

Xue Shangshu nodded, "That's what she hates."

"But..." Chu Ci only felt confused and puzzled.

Xue Shangshu sighed as if he had read her mind, and said, "I didn't believe it at first, but in the end all the evidence was there, so I couldn't help but believe it...my sister-in-law got into trouble at some point... Gambling addiction, she has lost most of her family property in just a few months, and the owner behind the gambling shop is the eldest son of Cheng Enhou's mansion... When these kinds of things happened together, she started from the Chengenhou mansion. Miss took over this harmful business, she put Gu worms into the rouge, provoked the relationship between my Xue family and Ruyifang, and Cheng Enhou's mansion settled all the debts in the gambling shop for her husband..."

"Among them, the joints are like this, and I hope the Imperial Concubine knows it!"

"In addition, for the things in the Ruyi Workshop that were smashed by the officials in a fit of anger, the officials will also pay ten times the compensation. I hope that the princess has a lot, so I can forgive the officials for being abrupt this time!"

"I know all of this." Chu Ci nodded.

She was so angry that she couldn't help but took another sip of the tea in front of her.

After putting down the teacup, he said coldly, "There is one thing I might as well put here first, Madam Jiang's account, I will settle with her one day, and let Shangshu Xue not to distinguish between right and wrong! "

"Of course not!" Xue Shangshu waved his hand quickly, looked at Chu Ci sincerely and said, "It is said outside that she is my younger sister, but in fact she is just a sister from the clan who is not in the fifth service. In comparison, naturally my Linger is extremely important! She hurt Linger, not to mention obstructing the Crown Princess to settle accounts with her, even if the Crown Princess is magnanimous and does not settle accounts with her, the next official will settle accounts with her later!"

"If that's the case, then I'm relieved!" Chu Ci nodded to Xue Shangshu with satisfaction.

Hearing what she said, Xue Shangshu was about to heave a sigh of relief, and asked her to come over to treat his daughter's face with a pouty face.

But who knows, before she opened her mouth, Chu Ci stood up and said first, "If Shangshu Xue has nothing else to do, I'll go to my own business first!" After finishing speaking, without waiting for his promise, Get up and walk out.

Seeing that plain white figure getting farther and farther away from him, Xue Shangshu gritted his teeth and sighed!

What was he talking about just now!If you have that time, you might as well speak out your request directly.

In this way, the concubine would always give an answer, unlike now, people didn't even give him a chance to speak, and he got up and left.

Xue Shangshu also knew that Chu Ci was angry because of the fact that he sent people to smash the shop last time, but the problem was that he was also dizzy at that time!
Linger is the only child of him and his late wife, which is more precious than his life.

The child hurt his face, is that a trivial matter?
At that time, he was so angry that he wanted to destroy the whole world, and Chu Ci too, okay?

Only smashing the shop is just a small vent.But this little venting has now become an obstacle for him to seek medical treatment for his daughter.

Thinking of the daughter at home who shed tears every day, and thinking of his late wife, Xue Shangshu sighed, and he walked out, wanting to catch up with Chuci and beg her again.

But when he chased him out, there was nowhere to be seen Chu Ci in front of him.

In desperation, he had no choice but to ask a little maid beside him.

Although the little maid had just entered the mansion, she also knew that the affairs of the master's house should not be talked nonsense, so she just laughed.But he didn't say a word.
