Chapter 92 04 Jun Mo Xin Loves Jealous
Chapter 92 04 Jun Mo Xin Loves Jealous
——Jun Moxin's blood... can cure the son's stubborn illness!
When Xue Qihua uttered these words, he was so deafened!
The life that has been dark and hopeless for many years suddenly has bright colors!Like a bright light, he went all the way, crossed the road full of thorns, and finally reached the supreme summit.
Dugu Wan lightly plucked the strings, thoughtful.
Xue Qihua knew that he was thinking, thinking about a more detailed plan.At times like this, he would keep absolutely quiet, allowing him plenty of time to play.
Externally, he is the counselor of Dugu Mansion, Duguwan's most trusted confidant.According to legend, many clever strategies were created by him. In fact, only he knows that most of the clever strategies were thought up by Dugu Wan, and he just helped him to check for omissions and fill in the gaps to make them more perfect.
Dugu Wan is nicknamed Young Master Miao, and this title is by no means in vain.
The scattered piano sounds were almost out of tune, but each note reflected Duguwan's heartfelt voice.Xue Qihua listened to the sound of the piano, but read Duguwan's plan in his heart.
When the sound of the piano ended, Dugu Wan let out a sigh of relief and pushed Jiao Qin away, Xue Qihua immediately said: "Your Excellency is right, the regent's success in deceiving Snow Bodhisattva into marrying Snow Bodhisattva fully shows that his strategy is quite effective. Everyone has weaknesses, as long as you grasp his likes and weaknesses, you won't be afraid that he won't give in obediently!"
Snow Bodhisattva is not stupid, but she was still tricked by Situ Xian.The most important thing is that Situ Xian has grasped women's psychology of admiring vanity, especially a beautiful and martial arts woman. She thinks she can manipulate the world's men in her hands, and agrees to marry Situ Xian. He got what she wanted - greater power and more permanent wealth!
Duguwan raised his head, his handsome eyes showed appreciation.He regards Xue Qihua as his confidant, and the relationship between the two is even stronger than that of his half-brother Duguchen.Unknowingly, the tacit understanding between them has reached such a state.What he thinks, what he thinks, does not need to be said, the other party can perceive it through the sound of the piano.
"What a pity!" Dugu Wan sighed slightly.
"It's a pity!" Xue Qihua deeply understood the nonsensical words that outsiders heard. "I finally cheated into marrying Snow Bodhisattva, but I only want to drink her blood and enjoy her beauty. This person is just reckless! This person only cares about the greed in front of him, he can't hold back his temper, and he can't match the son of the world even if he cultivates his skills and resourcefulness. There is nothing to be afraid of." !"
Duguwan shook his head lightly, and said: "He can sit in that position, and he has been sitting there for so many years. Even the imperial concubine and Eunuch Qi can't do anything to him, so he naturally has his advantages. It is a big taboo to underestimate the enemy. Be cautious!"
Xue Qihua was ashamed immediately, and said: "What the prince said is true! Xue is short-sighted after all!"
"Young people are just at the age of youthful vigor. Compared with Chen'er, you are many times stronger and more stable. Why are you so demanding! What's more, my state of mind is like that of an old man in his twilight years. I am too careful and restrained because of my thoroughness. It's better for Yu'er and Chen'er to let go!" A complicated look flashed across Dugu Wan's handsome eyes, and her voice seemed to float into the sky. "Yu'er insisted on going to Lishan to die, but he came back! He even abducted the woman he loves!"
Having said that, he tightened his lips.
Xue Qihua understood, nodded and said, "If you don't enter the tiger's lair, how can you catch a tiger cub! Nan Gongshi seems to be willful and impulsive, but in fact he is tough and tough. If Miss Xiao hadn't been moved by him, she wouldn't have walked with him all the way! Jun Moxin would definitely not agree She followed Nangong Yu back to Dugu Mansion!"
Xiao Mei did not hesitate to quarrel with Jun Moxin and accompanied Nangong Yu to the Dugu Mansion to seek medical treatment, which fully demonstrated the status of Nangong Yu in her heart.There has never been a kind of dedication in this world that is not rewarded. As long as you persist, the stone can be warmed up.
Duguwan listened quietly without commenting.
"By the way." Xue Qihua recalled something that seemed very important to him, and said: "When I was treating Nangong Shizi, I found something wrong with the bracelet on Miss Xiao's wrist!"
"Hmm," Dugu Wan, who had been pondering all this time, turned his gaze and asked, "What's the problem?"
"There are some medicinal herbs in the bracelet, the most precious ones are the blood lotus seeds..." Xue Qihua said with a little regret at this point; "It's a pity, if the son is a daughter, the blood lotus seeds can dissolve the fetal poison on the son... ..."
There will never be an if in this world!If Duguwan had been a daughter, he might not have had so many troubles and such heavy ambitions. If he lived a simpler life, his illness would not be so serious.Therefore, it doesn't matter if you are lucky enough to meet the blood lotus seed.
Duguwan waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."
"In addition to snow lotus seeds, I also discovered several herbs!" Having said this, Xue Qihua lowered his voice and said, "It's cold medicine!"
A flash of light flashed across Dugu Wan's handsome eyes, and she was greatly surprised. "Jun Moxin doesn't want Xiao Mei to give birth to an heir for him!"
"At present, it can be said that." Xue Qihua nodded, and said: "These few herbal medicines are fragrant and fragrant, and putting them in the bracelet has the effect of increasing fragrance. If ordinary women wear them for a long time, they may lose their fertility for the rest of their lives. But The blood lotus seeds happen to be able to restrain them..."
Duguwan pondered for a moment, and said: "You know the effects of mutual generation and restraint among medicinal materials best, and it is rare for anyone except you to explain their subtleties in place. In your opinion, what is Jun Moxin thinking!"
"As long as the bracelet is taken off, she can give birth normally without hindrance!" After Xue Qihua finished speaking, he added: "But the bracelet can't be taken off! Otherwise, she wouldn't have had no choice but to accompany her. Prince Nangong is coming to Dugu Mansion together!"

Situ Xian's trip to Licheng was not small. Although he didn't catch Jun Mo's heart in the end, he was generally satisfied.But Qi Zecheng's sudden appearance became a thorn in his throat, making him restless.
Of course he knew that Qi Zecheng's journey along the way would definitely cause endless troubles, so he ordered Wuhe to quickly find a chance to get rid of this person!
After a while, Xue Yunuo rode over and leaned over to Situ Xian's side, biting a few words.
After hearing Xue Yunuo's words, Situ Xian was very angry, and his eyes showed fierceness. "This old-fashioned old man actually picked up the airs with me at a critical moment!"
He hates being blackmailed the most!In his eyes, it is the best choice to obediently obey him and let him do his bidding.Anyone who plays tricks or loses his temper with him is a complete setback.Looking at the end of Snow Bodhisattva, one should understand that it is easy to follow him, but if you disobey him, the consequences will be quite serious.
However, Wuhe does have the capital of arrogance.At this time, Situ Xian would not delay the important matter for the lives of one or two subordinates.Even if he is unwilling, but in order to achieve his goal, he will agree.When the right opportunity came, for example, when he was no longer useful, or when Situ Xian didn't need him, he would kill the donkey.
"Tell the old Taoist, Zhuo Ke can be killed immediately, but Song Xiangren can't move! Many of the military power and secrets of the king are in his hands, how can he be killed casually!" Situ Xian was so angry that Song Xiangren It can be regarded as his confidant, who has followed him for many years.He is not a nostalgic person, but beheading Song Xiangren for no reason, the loss is too great, there will be a lot of mess waiting for him to clean up.Moreover, beheading the confidants on the way back to Beijing will undoubtedly shake the morale of the army and give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it.
So, Xue Yunuo conveyed Situ Xian's words to Wu He again.
Wu He wanted to kill Zhuo Ke and Song Xiangren with little effort, and even if Situ Xian knew that he did it, he would not blame him.The only reason he did this was to save the lost face.
Because of the defeat in the Battle of Shura Valley, Situ Xian was very disappointed with Wuhe. In addition, Song Xiangren and his confidant Zhuo Ke talked about Wuhe's great achievements in front of Situ Xian, and missed a good opportunity to capture Jun Moxin. Crane's heart is deeper.Even when Wu He was seriously injured, he ordered him to take someone to Lishan to ask for relatives on his behalf.
Since then, Wu He's status has been much worse than before.All the soldiers in the army and even the marquis officials in Licheng didn't respect him that much anymore, which made Wu He, who was arrogant and narrow-minded, how could he swallow this bad breath.Of course, during the Battle of Shura Valley, Song Xiangren and Zhuo Ke stood by and deliberately made him seriously injured and unconscious, which was also the main reason for this conflict.
In order to win back his face, Wu He decided to let Situ Xian kill Song Xiangren and Zhuo Ke, so that he could re-establish his image of being valued by Situ Xian, and everyone would respectfully call him a Daoist.
As for the future... Wuhe doesn't care about the future.He has always been short-sighted and surly, so he was abandoned by his senior brother Yuan Zun Shengren and expelled him from the school.He rejoined the King Regent's faction, but he still couldn't get rid of his stubborn illness. He knew that Snow Bodhisattva's end, and he might follow in his footsteps if he was not careful, but he was unwilling to think so far.
Right now, he only cares about taking revenge on all the people who are against him, Xue Bodhisattva, Song Xiangren, Zhuo Ke and others, let's talk about all of them.
Xue Yunuo came over and relayed Situ Xian's words, Wuhe was a little displeased, but he also knew that if the fight was too rigid, it would easily offend Situ Xian, so he pretended to shake the whisk and said, "Forget it! Write an edict! When we return to Bianjing, the poor Taoist is afraid that his affairs will be too busy and he will forget about it!"
After a while, Xue Yunuo came over again, this time without speaking, but presented the secret order written by Situ Xian himself.
Wu He unfolded it and saw that it was indeed a secret order to kill Song Xiangren after arriving in Bianjing. He couldn't help being very proud, and stuffed it into the sleeve of his Taoist robe, and then left the carriage to find Qi Zecheng.

After waking up from a sweet sleep, Xiao Mei was revived again with full blood, and her whole body was full of strength.
Yu Xin walked in to serve her, and said with a smile, "The bath water is ready, Concubine Mo is going to take a bath!"
"Well, I have to wash it well!" Xiao Mei nodded, stretching her waist by the way.Seeing Yu Xin busily serving her in front of her, she couldn't help but be a little lost and said: "I used to have a personal maid named Yu Chan, but she disappeared in an accident..."
"Concubine Mo is missing Sister Yuchan!" Yu Xin was very obedient, and immediately came over to help her press her shoulder, and said, "Sister Yuchan is gone, so Yu Xin will take care of Concubine Mo instead of her!"
"You are so considerate!" Xiao Mei loves Yu Xin very much, otherwise she would not have let her serve her close to her right after accepting her. "Hey, Yu Xin, you're tall!"
Xiao Mei is considered to be of average height among girls, but Yu Xin is still a lot taller than her.
"My servant was born in a poor family and grew up doing rough work, so she is taller than ordinary women!" Although Yu Xin was tall and tall, but her skin was fair and greasy, and she also had an alluring color, which made her more feminine than Xiao Mei.
Xiao Mei looked at her carefully for a while, then regretfully said: "Based on your appearance, being a maid has wronged you!"
"Being able to serve the concubine Mo is Yu Xin's blessing, don't feel wronged!" Yu Xin's sweet and coaxing mouth often makes Xiao Mei smile.
In the bathroom, Yu Xin waited on Xiao Mei to undress, but she kicked her out.
"I'm not used to having people around me when I'm taking a bath, let's go out!" Xiao Mei always felt that it would be awkward for someone she didn't know to be watching while taking a bath.Later, when she found out Yu Xin's real identity, she discovered that it was a good habit she had cultivated for a long time.

Xiao Hongbo stretched his neck and waited until he finally received the reply from Nangong's family and Dugu's family.
Steward Zhao held the reply post sent by the two families together, and presented it to Xiao Hongbo with a serious face.
Before Xiao Hongbo reached out to take it, a large group of concubines and young ladies around him suddenly chattered into a mess like fried sparrows.
"The two concubines of the Nangong family, who will choose Miss Feng, Yue, Fei, and Fang to be his wife?" Mrs. Liu looked at Mrs. Qu with a flattering smile.
Mrs. Qu said with a reserved face, "Young Master Yu has a prominent status, if you can marry him as a concubine, it will not be considered a grievance!"
Since Mrs. Qu was the most favored, the birthdays of her four daughters, Xiao Feng, Xiao Yue, Xiao Fei, and Xiao Fang, were all sent to Nangong's family.Whether it was chosen by the eldest son of Nangong Mansion, Nangong Yu, as a concubine, or by the two concubines, Nangong Peng and Nangong Jian, as his first wife, it was a good result.
The birthdays of the daughters Xiao Ling, Xiao Jing, and Xiao Xiu born to the other wives were sent to the Dugu Mansion, and the two brothers of the Dugu family each chose one to be a concubine.
"The two sons of the Dugu Mansion are both dragons and phoenixes, and the Dugu Army is powerful in the government and the public. Even the Nangong Mansion has to rely on the help of the Dugu Mansion. It would be nice to marry them and be concubines!" Mrs. Bai and Mrs. An whispered .
"Shut up!" Xiao Hongbo scolded angrily.
All the concubines were silent, Madam Qu hurriedly accepted the reply, presented it to Xiao Hongbo herself, and said with a smile, "Master Hou calm down, please take a look at it yourself!"
Xiao Hongbo just took the reply, opened it by himself, and browsed through it in a hurry, he couldn't help being surprised.
"Master Hou, who did the two families choose?" Mrs. Qu knew how to look at Xiao Hongbo's face. Seeing his expression of surprise seemed to be more than disappointment, she guessed that the two families did not reject all of them.
Xiao Hongbo didn't answer, thought about it, and summoned: "Send the third lady over here!"
Ever since Nan Gongyu made a big fuss at Xiao's house, Marquis of Zhongjing, Xiao Hongbo angered Mrs. Tang, and confined her in the dormitory, not allowed to take a step without summons.
After so long, this was the first time Xiao Hongbo thought of summoning Mrs. Tang.
All the concubines and ladies were a little surprised, feeling that there must be something strange.Mrs. Tang didn't even give birth to a daughter, so she was rejected by Xiao Hongbo.It's just that in the early years, he adopted his wife Wen's daughter, Xiao Mei, the eldest lady of the Xiao family.If Xiao Hongbo summoned Mrs. Tang, it is very likely that Xiao Mei has news.
Seeing that Xiao Hongbo seemed to be in a bad mood, even Mrs. Qu, who was the most favored, didn't dare to say any more, until after a while, Mrs. Tang was summoned.
Mrs. Tang was confined for many days, and was almost forgotten by the entire Zhongjinghou Mansion.However, when she reappeared in front of everyone, she was still well-mannered, without the slightest embarrassment.
Although the summons was sudden and urgent, Mrs. Tang was well dressed, her hair was neat and tidy, she was wearing gold hairpins and pearls, and she was dressed like a noble lady in the Marquis Mansion.The confidant girl Ziying is still by her side, she is also clean and tidy, without the decadence of being neglected for a long time.
"My concubine sees Lord Hou!" Mrs. Tang saluted gracefully, neither humble nor overbearing, and generous.
Xiao Hongbo's expression softened a lot, and it was rare for him to ask: "How are you doing recently? I haven't set foot in Hengzhi Courtyard for a long time, so you feel resentful towards me!"
"I don't dare!" Mrs. Tang raised her head slowly, and said, "Master Hou's government affairs are tedious, how dare I work for Master Hou to waste time and effort to visit him."
These words were neither soft nor hard, but they sat back and watched the fact that Xiao Hongbo neglected her.
In normal times, how could Xiao Hongbo have the patience to listen to her nonsense.But at this time, he seemed quite patient, and said: "This is my fault, I can't blame you for being wronged!" After finishing speaking, he told Steward Zhao next to him: "Get ready, I will go to Hengzhiyuan to rest tonight!"
As soon as this remark came out, all the concubines became jealous.This Mrs. Tang has been neglected for a long time, how she suddenly became a fragrant bun must have something to do with Xiao Mei.
After Xiao Hongbo ordered a seat and then tea, Mrs. Tang sat on the lower head of Xiao Hongbo (that seat usually belongs to Mrs. Qu), and then the eldest maid brought fragrant tea, and Ziying presented it to Mrs. Tang.
Mrs. Tang held her breath, sat upright, took the tea, thanked Xiao Hongbo, lifted the cover bowl, blew it gently, took another sip, savored it slowly, and nodded slowly.
"Shurou, what do you think of the taste of this big red robe?" Xiao Hongbo asked enthusiastically.
Shurou is Mrs. Tang's boudoir name, and she was only called by Xiao Hongbo for a year or two when she first entered Xiao's residence.Later, as time passed, he never called her boudoir name again, and treated her like other concubines.
I still remember that when she was young, she was so beautiful that Xiao Hongbo loved her so much that it made the other concubines turn red with jealousy.But... Tang Shurou subconsciously looked at the flat belly. This belly had never bulged, so Xiao Hongbo rejected it.Fortunately, he was not completely ruthless. He ignored the strong opposition from Mrs. Qu and others, and entrusted Miss Xiao, who lost her mother at birth, to her for upbringing.
It was this small amount of kindness that kept Tang Shurou in love all the time. In the later years when she was left out in the cold, she repeatedly comforted herself that Xiao Hongbo was not completely heartless towards her.Xiao Mei was the richest gift he gave her!
The past is like smoke, with the flick of a finger, time flies by like a fleeting moment, she is getting old unknowingly.But in the end, the clouds opened to see the moonlight. Xiao Hongbo summoned her so solemnly, gave her a seat to enjoy tea, and then deliberately praised her in front of those jealous concubines. She knew very well that the The reason must be related to Xiao Mei.
Putting down the tureen calmly, Tang Shurou pursed her lips slightly, and praised: "Good."
This short word made Xiao Hongbo smile.
The fact is that, if he likes her, he will be happy with whatever she says.If he doesn't like her, even her breathing is a mistake.
"This is the tribute sent to the palace this year. The Marquis got some, not too much. If Shurou likes to drink, I will reward you all!" Xiao Hongbo said generously.
"Thank you, Lord Hou!" Tang Shurou bowed and was not polite.With her shrewdness, of course she knew that after drinking tea and receiving the reward, it was time to do something for him.
What else could she do for him?Of course only Xiao Mei!She raised Xiao Mei single-handedly since she was a child!
Sure enough, Xiao Hongbo continued to ask kindly: "Is there any news about Meier recently?"
Tang Shurou's heart skipped a beat, and while smiling gently, she quickly thought about the words and judged what happened.
Looking at Xiao Hongbo's appearance, Xiao Mei might have something good to do, and this good thing can benefit Xiao Hongbo, so he desperately wanted to find this eldest daughter who was once regarded as an abandoned son by him.
But what good could it be!Xiao Mei was annulled by the Nangong family, her reputation was ruined, and she was not eligible to go to the royal family to run for a showgirl or a princess to accompany her.Then, what Qiaozong met made Xiao Hongbo attach so much importance to Huanxi!
"Meier went to Kunlun too far with Master Miaoxin, and there was a letter back and forth last month, and I have already shown it to Lord Hou!" Tang Shurou knew that Xiao Hongbo didn't believe it, but she had to repeat the lie again.
Even if Xiao Mei's affairs were revealed, she would still pretend not to know, pretending to be cheated together.This is the safest way to protect yourself.
"Presumptuous!" Mrs. Qu, who is used to being arrogant, was the first to burst out, poking Tang Shurou's nose and scolding: "Bitch, you are talking nonsense with your eyes open! Missy has eloped with Jun Moxin, why don't you Help her cover up..."
Tang Shurou couldn't help sighing in her heart, people really shouldn't soak in honey water for too long, otherwise their brains would get rusty.Mrs. Qu was obviously overwhelmed by Xiao Hongbo's pampering, and she couldn't tell the priority at all.It is not a wise move to suppress Xiao Mei vigorously when Xiao Hongbo attaches great importance to her.
Sure enough, Xiao Hongbo raised his hand and slapped Madam Qu before she finished speaking. "Shut up!"
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Qu was beaten so that she turned around half a circle. Fortunately, Xiao Feng and Xiao Yue next to her supported her, so she didn't fall down on the spot and made a fool of herself.Even so, the five bright red fingerprints on his face could not be covered up no matter what.
For so many years, Mrs. Qu was so used to being spoiled by Xiao Hongbo, she was slapped unexpectedly, she was completely unprepared, she was stunned on the spot, she even forgot to cry.
All the concubines and ladies were silent, not daring to breathe.
"Put this talkative woman under arrest, shut her up in the ancestral hall to copy Buddhist scriptures, face the wall and think about her past mistakes! Wait until she understands where she is wrong, and then tell this Marquis!" Xiao Hongbo was about to faint, and he didn't want to even for a moment. See Mrs. Qu again. "Quickly drag it on, Ben Hou doesn't want to see her again!"
When Xiao Hongbo was in a rage, not to mention those concubines who were stalking, even Mrs. Qu's four biological daughters did not dare to intercede for her.He could only watch helplessly as his servant dragged Mrs. Qu to the ancestral hall in the backyard to face the wall and think about it.
When Mrs. Qu was dragged away, the whole hall was unusually quiet, and no one dared to speak too much.
"Shurou, keep talking." Xiao Hongbo immediately changed into a warm smile, and continued: "Has Meier contacted you recently? This child may have gone to other places because of her fun! The kiss is gone, you have raised her as if you were born, she is the closest to you! Think of a way and see if you can get her back!"
The corners of Tang Shurou's eyes twitched, but there was no panic on her face. "What Hou Ye said is true! It's just that Meier has a big heart, and she always wants to make some achievements outside to impress Hou Ye, so that she can save her dead mother. Since Hou Ye For her, as a concubine, I will write a letter to her, and let her go back to the mansion!"
Hearing Tang Shurou's firm tone, Xiao Hongbo was overjoyed.He hurriedly handed over the replies from Nangong Mansion and Dugu Mansion to Tang Shurou. "Shurou, look!"
Tang Shurou had been curious for a long time, but now she finally saw the answer. She suppressed her temper and took the unfolding slowly without showing any eagerness.With a dignified appearance, Xiao Hongbo couldn't help but look at him with admiration.
Seeing the post in her hand, Tang Shurou was also a little surprised. "Hmm." After that, there was no more sound, and he seemed to be thinking about this matter.
"Our Zhongjinghou's mansion is getting weaker and weaker day by day, and everyone in the court has to look at their faces!" As the male master of Zhongjinghou's mansion, Xiao Hongbo is full of bitterness.Don't look at him being very imposing in the mansion, all the concubines and daughters will try their best to curry favor with everyone, but he is depressed outside.
The Xiao family was kicked out of the Nangong family's circle of influence, and was never accepted by the Regent's faction. Life was very sad.
In order to survive, Xiao Hongbo could only put down his old face, and sent all his unmarried daughters (except Xiao Mei) to Nangong Mansion and Dugu Mansion, begging the sons of the two mansions to show mercy and keep one or two. At least it is barely rejoining their circle of influence, don't be isolated.
What Xiao Hongbo didn't expect was that both governments responded to the post, and asked for Xiao Mei's birth date by name!
This time, he was completely at a loss.Not to mention how the young master of the Dugu family loves his eldest daughter whose reputation is ruined, the Nangong family has already divorced, so why does he want Xiao Mei's birth date.Could it be that Nangong Yu retired and the other two concubine sons Nangong Jian and Nangong Peng wanted to marry Xiao Mei?
With question marks all over his head, Xiao Hongbo could only inquire about Xiao Mei's whereabouts from Tang Shurou first.You have to find someone first to find out the answer.
"Finally, Nangong and Dugu both asked for Meier's birth date... Benhou thinks there must be some clues!" Xiao Hongbo looked at Tang Shurou. At this time, he really needed a smart woman who could help him see through the current vagaries. The political situation, not a deep house woman like Mrs. Qu who can only act coquettishly and fight for favor. "In your opinion!"
Seeing Xiao Hongbo asking her opinion so solemnly, Tang Shurou was really flattered.For many years, he no longer takes himself so seriously.Now, he is finally willing to look her in the right eyes, but it is because of Xiao Mei.
Tang Shurou thought for a long time before she said seriously, "Master Hou is really worried! Since Nangong and Dugu are both interested in the eldest lady, of course we must actively seize this opportunity to make a comeback!"
Hearing that Tang Shurou thought of it with him, Xiao Hongbo nodded in satisfaction, and then asked: "In your opinion, the Nangong family suddenly asked for Mei'er's birth date. Is this to choose wives for the two concubines, or..."
"It should be to ask Nangong Shizi to marry a concubine!" Tang Shurou carefully speculated: "Maybe the Nangong family felt sorry for retiring the engagement, so they gave in a step!"
In this way, at least the Zhongjinghou Mansion was won over.Although, today's Zhongjinghou Mansion is in decline.
"Probably so!" Xiao Hongbo couldn't help clapping his hands. "Wei Guogong is kind and generous, and I can't bear to see Ben Hou lose face too much!"
In fact, Nangong Mansion resigned the marriage and then demoted his wife to be a concubine, which was basically slapping Xiao Hongbo in the face.But in his opinion, it was like the good news of life coming out of a desperate situation, something he couldn't wish for.
"Hurry up and find a way to contact Meier and let her go home quickly!" Xiao Hongbo assigned a task to Tang Shurou, and at the same time said to her affectionately: "The hope of the Xiao Mansion is on you! As long as you can find the Meier, this Marquis will definitely thank you, and I will never forget your benefits in this lifetime!"

After taking a delightful hot bath, Xiao Mei felt refreshed.Then, the first thing she did when she went out was to go straight to Duguwan's bedroom.
Xiao Mei is a modern person, so she doesn't have the habit of ancient people who have to bring a maid when traveling.When she got to the door, she was stopped by the guards, and she gave her name - Xiao Mei!
Sure enough, after a while, Tong Chuan's guard came over and gave her a polite salute. "Miss Xiao, please!"
Under the guidance of the guards, Xiao Mei entered Duguwan's dormitory.The dormitory is very large, and it took half a cup of tea to walk through several courtyards and several arches before entering Duguwan's dormitory.
Stepping up the steps, a servant girl opened the curtain and greeted her with a smile. "Miss Xiao is here!"
Xiao Mei knew that this maid must be the person serving in Dugu Wan's room.In this era, adult aristocratic men would have housemates before they got married, and the number was undetermined.They are responsible for taking care of the male host's daily life and meeting their usual physical needs, and are also responsible for communication and other things.
Xiao Mei nodded at her and walked into the main room.
Duguwan was tasting tea and enjoying paintings in the teahouse, when she saw Xiao Mei came in and took two steps forward, with a refined smile on her lips, she said, "Miss Xiao, it's been a long time!"
"Long time no see!" Xiao Mei imitated the etiquette of this society and hugged him boldly. Seeing that Duguwan seemed to be unable to help laughing, she realized that she seemed to be more masculine than him, so she couldn't help laughing dryly to resolve her embarrassment.
"Miss Xiao, please sit down and serve tea!" Dugu Wan gracefully made a "please" gesture.
Compared with the hurried side that night, I can see it more clearly now.In the bright hall, the man is gentle and elegant, with a jade tree facing the wind, and his every move reveals good self-cultivation.
"Thank you." Xiao Mei had been wanting to thank him for a long time, after she sat down, she picked up tea and said sincerely: "Thank you Mr. Dugu for taking care of my four cousins!"
Duguwan smiled slightly and said, "It's just a little effort, nothing to worry about."
Xiao Mei couldn't help but chuckled, and said: "I heard my two cousins highly praised you, so I know it's not easy for you to take good care of them."
Because Duguchen was worried about Nan Gongyu, he was in a very bad mood, and when he saw the Wen family sisters approaching him, he scolded him, and they saw him take a detour to avoid it.And this sister spends every day looking for Duguwan to inquire about Xiao Mei's whereabouts, he never shows any signs of impatience, he is very polite, it is really not easy.
That is to say, those who can satisfy the brothers and sisters of the Wen family must at least have first-class measures and self-cultivation.
Duguwan understood, hehe smiled.
"However, no matter how generous and benevolent Mr. Dugu is, this Dugu mansion is not their long-term residence after all. This time I came here to take them away by the way!" Xiao Mei is sincerely grateful to Duguwan for taking in the Wen family brothers and sisters, but the Wen family brothers and sisters can She can't live here without blushing or panting all the time.Duguwan has already caused a lot of trouble, but luckily he has taken care of himself and doesn't mind.
Duguwan pondered for a moment, then asked: "Miss, have you figured out where to take them to settle down?"
This Xiao Mei really didn't think about it carefully, but: "They are all adults, not children! Besides, they have a lot of gold, silver, pearls and jade in their bags, and they can buy a house or land wherever they want, and they won't starve to death!"
Dugu Wan's handsome eyes flickered, and she smiled slightly: "You are very understanding."
"Uh," Xiao Mei couldn't figure out whether his words were complimenting or derogatory, so she had to laugh again.
She and Nangong Yu Duguchen can say whatever they want when they are together, it doesn't matter what they say.Anyway, those two trees are very solid, and it is not uncommon for them to even turn their faces and give them a slap.However, facing the gentle and elegant Duguwan, she was a little nervous.It seemed that he was afraid that what he said would be inappropriate and make him laugh.
"I've been bothering you for many days, I have to go!" Xiao Mei didn't want to go back to Mount Li immediately, at least she had to wait for Jun Moxin to pick her up, but she didn't plan to stay in Dugu Mansion any longer.After all, the Dugu brothers are unmarried, especially Nangong Yu who also lives here, so she understands the reason why Li Xia avoids suspicion.
Jun Mo is jealous, she knows it.
The problems between her and Jun Moxin need to be resolved through patient communication, but she doesn't want to add other problems to these existing problems.
Xiao Mei came here not only to thank Duguwan, but also to say goodbye.She has always been quick-tempered, quick to do things, and never used to procrastinating.Since you plan to leave, you will never delay until dark.
She was willing to take the four brothers and sisters of the Wen family to live in a hotel, but she didn't plan to spend the night in Dugu Mansion.Still for that reason, melons and plums have to avoid suspicion!
Dugu Wan was clear in her heart, but she smiled and said nothing, picked up the tea bowl, lifted the lid, and slowly poured out the tea.His movements were extremely slow, but his mind turned very quickly.
After drinking tea for a while, Xiao Mei put down the teacup and refused to let the maidservant refill the tea, so she planned to say goodbye.
However, before she could speak, Duguwan said slowly, "I heard that you are married to Jun Moxin."
"Well," Xiao Mei swallowed back the words she was about to say goodbye to, she took a special look at Dugu Wan to make sure he had no other intentions.But some couldn't figure out why he suddenly brought up this topic, did it have anything to do with him who she married?This person doesn't look like someone who likes gossip either. "What's wrong."
Duguwan heard Xiao Mei's tone seemed to be on guard, and quickly explained: "Girl, don't get me wrong, I have no other intentions, just... just want to ask... it's related to the girl's body."
It's about her body!The more Xiao Mei listened, the more confused she became.Because Dugu Wan doesn't seem like someone who likes to play tricks, she said: "My lord, if you have something to say, you might as well just say it!"
After hesitating for a while, Duguwan's gaze finally landed on Xiao Mei's wrist wearing the gold ring. "Who gave this bracelet to the girl?"
(End of this chapter)
——Jun Moxin's blood... can cure the son's stubborn illness!
When Xue Qihua uttered these words, he was so deafened!
The life that has been dark and hopeless for many years suddenly has bright colors!Like a bright light, he went all the way, crossed the road full of thorns, and finally reached the supreme summit.
Dugu Wan lightly plucked the strings, thoughtful.
Xue Qihua knew that he was thinking, thinking about a more detailed plan.At times like this, he would keep absolutely quiet, allowing him plenty of time to play.
Externally, he is the counselor of Dugu Mansion, Duguwan's most trusted confidant.According to legend, many clever strategies were created by him. In fact, only he knows that most of the clever strategies were thought up by Dugu Wan, and he just helped him to check for omissions and fill in the gaps to make them more perfect.
Dugu Wan is nicknamed Young Master Miao, and this title is by no means in vain.
The scattered piano sounds were almost out of tune, but each note reflected Duguwan's heartfelt voice.Xue Qihua listened to the sound of the piano, but read Duguwan's plan in his heart.
When the sound of the piano ended, Dugu Wan let out a sigh of relief and pushed Jiao Qin away, Xue Qihua immediately said: "Your Excellency is right, the regent's success in deceiving Snow Bodhisattva into marrying Snow Bodhisattva fully shows that his strategy is quite effective. Everyone has weaknesses, as long as you grasp his likes and weaknesses, you won't be afraid that he won't give in obediently!"
Snow Bodhisattva is not stupid, but she was still tricked by Situ Xian.The most important thing is that Situ Xian has grasped women's psychology of admiring vanity, especially a beautiful and martial arts woman. She thinks she can manipulate the world's men in her hands, and agrees to marry Situ Xian. He got what she wanted - greater power and more permanent wealth!
Duguwan raised his head, his handsome eyes showed appreciation.He regards Xue Qihua as his confidant, and the relationship between the two is even stronger than that of his half-brother Duguchen.Unknowingly, the tacit understanding between them has reached such a state.What he thinks, what he thinks, does not need to be said, the other party can perceive it through the sound of the piano.
"What a pity!" Dugu Wan sighed slightly.
"It's a pity!" Xue Qihua deeply understood the nonsensical words that outsiders heard. "I finally cheated into marrying Snow Bodhisattva, but I only want to drink her blood and enjoy her beauty. This person is just reckless! This person only cares about the greed in front of him, he can't hold back his temper, and he can't match the son of the world even if he cultivates his skills and resourcefulness. There is nothing to be afraid of." !"
Duguwan shook his head lightly, and said: "He can sit in that position, and he has been sitting there for so many years. Even the imperial concubine and Eunuch Qi can't do anything to him, so he naturally has his advantages. It is a big taboo to underestimate the enemy. Be cautious!"
Xue Qihua was ashamed immediately, and said: "What the prince said is true! Xue is short-sighted after all!"
"Young people are just at the age of youthful vigor. Compared with Chen'er, you are many times stronger and more stable. Why are you so demanding! What's more, my state of mind is like that of an old man in his twilight years. I am too careful and restrained because of my thoroughness. It's better for Yu'er and Chen'er to let go!" A complicated look flashed across Dugu Wan's handsome eyes, and her voice seemed to float into the sky. "Yu'er insisted on going to Lishan to die, but he came back! He even abducted the woman he loves!"
Having said that, he tightened his lips.
Xue Qihua understood, nodded and said, "If you don't enter the tiger's lair, how can you catch a tiger cub! Nan Gongshi seems to be willful and impulsive, but in fact he is tough and tough. If Miss Xiao hadn't been moved by him, she wouldn't have walked with him all the way! Jun Moxin would definitely not agree She followed Nangong Yu back to Dugu Mansion!"
Xiao Mei did not hesitate to quarrel with Jun Moxin and accompanied Nangong Yu to the Dugu Mansion to seek medical treatment, which fully demonstrated the status of Nangong Yu in her heart.There has never been a kind of dedication in this world that is not rewarded. As long as you persist, the stone can be warmed up.
Duguwan listened quietly without commenting.
"By the way." Xue Qihua recalled something that seemed very important to him, and said: "When I was treating Nangong Shizi, I found something wrong with the bracelet on Miss Xiao's wrist!"
"Hmm," Dugu Wan, who had been pondering all this time, turned his gaze and asked, "What's the problem?"
"There are some medicinal herbs in the bracelet, the most precious ones are the blood lotus seeds..." Xue Qihua said with a little regret at this point; "It's a pity, if the son is a daughter, the blood lotus seeds can dissolve the fetal poison on the son... ..."
There will never be an if in this world!If Duguwan had been a daughter, he might not have had so many troubles and such heavy ambitions. If he lived a simpler life, his illness would not be so serious.Therefore, it doesn't matter if you are lucky enough to meet the blood lotus seed.
Duguwan waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."
"In addition to snow lotus seeds, I also discovered several herbs!" Having said this, Xue Qihua lowered his voice and said, "It's cold medicine!"
A flash of light flashed across Dugu Wan's handsome eyes, and she was greatly surprised. "Jun Moxin doesn't want Xiao Mei to give birth to an heir for him!"
"At present, it can be said that." Xue Qihua nodded, and said: "These few herbal medicines are fragrant and fragrant, and putting them in the bracelet has the effect of increasing fragrance. If ordinary women wear them for a long time, they may lose their fertility for the rest of their lives. But The blood lotus seeds happen to be able to restrain them..."
Duguwan pondered for a moment, and said: "You know the effects of mutual generation and restraint among medicinal materials best, and it is rare for anyone except you to explain their subtleties in place. In your opinion, what is Jun Moxin thinking!"
"As long as the bracelet is taken off, she can give birth normally without hindrance!" After Xue Qihua finished speaking, he added: "But the bracelet can't be taken off! Otherwise, she wouldn't have had no choice but to accompany her. Prince Nangong is coming to Dugu Mansion together!"

Situ Xian's trip to Licheng was not small. Although he didn't catch Jun Mo's heart in the end, he was generally satisfied.But Qi Zecheng's sudden appearance became a thorn in his throat, making him restless.
Of course he knew that Qi Zecheng's journey along the way would definitely cause endless troubles, so he ordered Wuhe to quickly find a chance to get rid of this person!
After a while, Xue Yunuo rode over and leaned over to Situ Xian's side, biting a few words.
After hearing Xue Yunuo's words, Situ Xian was very angry, and his eyes showed fierceness. "This old-fashioned old man actually picked up the airs with me at a critical moment!"
He hates being blackmailed the most!In his eyes, it is the best choice to obediently obey him and let him do his bidding.Anyone who plays tricks or loses his temper with him is a complete setback.Looking at the end of Snow Bodhisattva, one should understand that it is easy to follow him, but if you disobey him, the consequences will be quite serious.
However, Wuhe does have the capital of arrogance.At this time, Situ Xian would not delay the important matter for the lives of one or two subordinates.Even if he is unwilling, but in order to achieve his goal, he will agree.When the right opportunity came, for example, when he was no longer useful, or when Situ Xian didn't need him, he would kill the donkey.
"Tell the old Taoist, Zhuo Ke can be killed immediately, but Song Xiangren can't move! Many of the military power and secrets of the king are in his hands, how can he be killed casually!" Situ Xian was so angry that Song Xiangren It can be regarded as his confidant, who has followed him for many years.He is not a nostalgic person, but beheading Song Xiangren for no reason, the loss is too great, there will be a lot of mess waiting for him to clean up.Moreover, beheading the confidants on the way back to Beijing will undoubtedly shake the morale of the army and give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it.
So, Xue Yunuo conveyed Situ Xian's words to Wu He again.
Wu He wanted to kill Zhuo Ke and Song Xiangren with little effort, and even if Situ Xian knew that he did it, he would not blame him.The only reason he did this was to save the lost face.
Because of the defeat in the Battle of Shura Valley, Situ Xian was very disappointed with Wuhe. In addition, Song Xiangren and his confidant Zhuo Ke talked about Wuhe's great achievements in front of Situ Xian, and missed a good opportunity to capture Jun Moxin. Crane's heart is deeper.Even when Wu He was seriously injured, he ordered him to take someone to Lishan to ask for relatives on his behalf.
Since then, Wu He's status has been much worse than before.All the soldiers in the army and even the marquis officials in Licheng didn't respect him that much anymore, which made Wu He, who was arrogant and narrow-minded, how could he swallow this bad breath.Of course, during the Battle of Shura Valley, Song Xiangren and Zhuo Ke stood by and deliberately made him seriously injured and unconscious, which was also the main reason for this conflict.
In order to win back his face, Wu He decided to let Situ Xian kill Song Xiangren and Zhuo Ke, so that he could re-establish his image of being valued by Situ Xian, and everyone would respectfully call him a Daoist.
As for the future... Wuhe doesn't care about the future.He has always been short-sighted and surly, so he was abandoned by his senior brother Yuan Zun Shengren and expelled him from the school.He rejoined the King Regent's faction, but he still couldn't get rid of his stubborn illness. He knew that Snow Bodhisattva's end, and he might follow in his footsteps if he was not careful, but he was unwilling to think so far.
Right now, he only cares about taking revenge on all the people who are against him, Xue Bodhisattva, Song Xiangren, Zhuo Ke and others, let's talk about all of them.
Xue Yunuo came over and relayed Situ Xian's words, Wuhe was a little displeased, but he also knew that if the fight was too rigid, it would easily offend Situ Xian, so he pretended to shake the whisk and said, "Forget it! Write an edict! When we return to Bianjing, the poor Taoist is afraid that his affairs will be too busy and he will forget about it!"
After a while, Xue Yunuo came over again, this time without speaking, but presented the secret order written by Situ Xian himself.
Wu He unfolded it and saw that it was indeed a secret order to kill Song Xiangren after arriving in Bianjing. He couldn't help being very proud, and stuffed it into the sleeve of his Taoist robe, and then left the carriage to find Qi Zecheng.

After waking up from a sweet sleep, Xiao Mei was revived again with full blood, and her whole body was full of strength.
Yu Xin walked in to serve her, and said with a smile, "The bath water is ready, Concubine Mo is going to take a bath!"
"Well, I have to wash it well!" Xiao Mei nodded, stretching her waist by the way.Seeing Yu Xin busily serving her in front of her, she couldn't help but be a little lost and said: "I used to have a personal maid named Yu Chan, but she disappeared in an accident..."
"Concubine Mo is missing Sister Yuchan!" Yu Xin was very obedient, and immediately came over to help her press her shoulder, and said, "Sister Yuchan is gone, so Yu Xin will take care of Concubine Mo instead of her!"
"You are so considerate!" Xiao Mei loves Yu Xin very much, otherwise she would not have let her serve her close to her right after accepting her. "Hey, Yu Xin, you're tall!"
Xiao Mei is considered to be of average height among girls, but Yu Xin is still a lot taller than her.
"My servant was born in a poor family and grew up doing rough work, so she is taller than ordinary women!" Although Yu Xin was tall and tall, but her skin was fair and greasy, and she also had an alluring color, which made her more feminine than Xiao Mei.
Xiao Mei looked at her carefully for a while, then regretfully said: "Based on your appearance, being a maid has wronged you!"
"Being able to serve the concubine Mo is Yu Xin's blessing, don't feel wronged!" Yu Xin's sweet and coaxing mouth often makes Xiao Mei smile.
In the bathroom, Yu Xin waited on Xiao Mei to undress, but she kicked her out.
"I'm not used to having people around me when I'm taking a bath, let's go out!" Xiao Mei always felt that it would be awkward for someone she didn't know to be watching while taking a bath.Later, when she found out Yu Xin's real identity, she discovered that it was a good habit she had cultivated for a long time.

Xiao Hongbo stretched his neck and waited until he finally received the reply from Nangong's family and Dugu's family.
Steward Zhao held the reply post sent by the two families together, and presented it to Xiao Hongbo with a serious face.
Before Xiao Hongbo reached out to take it, a large group of concubines and young ladies around him suddenly chattered into a mess like fried sparrows.
"The two concubines of the Nangong family, who will choose Miss Feng, Yue, Fei, and Fang to be his wife?" Mrs. Liu looked at Mrs. Qu with a flattering smile.
Mrs. Qu said with a reserved face, "Young Master Yu has a prominent status, if you can marry him as a concubine, it will not be considered a grievance!"
Since Mrs. Qu was the most favored, the birthdays of her four daughters, Xiao Feng, Xiao Yue, Xiao Fei, and Xiao Fang, were all sent to Nangong's family.Whether it was chosen by the eldest son of Nangong Mansion, Nangong Yu, as a concubine, or by the two concubines, Nangong Peng and Nangong Jian, as his first wife, it was a good result.
The birthdays of the daughters Xiao Ling, Xiao Jing, and Xiao Xiu born to the other wives were sent to the Dugu Mansion, and the two brothers of the Dugu family each chose one to be a concubine.
"The two sons of the Dugu Mansion are both dragons and phoenixes, and the Dugu Army is powerful in the government and the public. Even the Nangong Mansion has to rely on the help of the Dugu Mansion. It would be nice to marry them and be concubines!" Mrs. Bai and Mrs. An whispered .
"Shut up!" Xiao Hongbo scolded angrily.
All the concubines were silent, Madam Qu hurriedly accepted the reply, presented it to Xiao Hongbo herself, and said with a smile, "Master Hou calm down, please take a look at it yourself!"
Xiao Hongbo just took the reply, opened it by himself, and browsed through it in a hurry, he couldn't help being surprised.
"Master Hou, who did the two families choose?" Mrs. Qu knew how to look at Xiao Hongbo's face. Seeing his expression of surprise seemed to be more than disappointment, she guessed that the two families did not reject all of them.
Xiao Hongbo didn't answer, thought about it, and summoned: "Send the third lady over here!"
Ever since Nan Gongyu made a big fuss at Xiao's house, Marquis of Zhongjing, Xiao Hongbo angered Mrs. Tang, and confined her in the dormitory, not allowed to take a step without summons.
After so long, this was the first time Xiao Hongbo thought of summoning Mrs. Tang.
All the concubines and ladies were a little surprised, feeling that there must be something strange.Mrs. Tang didn't even give birth to a daughter, so she was rejected by Xiao Hongbo.It's just that in the early years, he adopted his wife Wen's daughter, Xiao Mei, the eldest lady of the Xiao family.If Xiao Hongbo summoned Mrs. Tang, it is very likely that Xiao Mei has news.
Seeing that Xiao Hongbo seemed to be in a bad mood, even Mrs. Qu, who was the most favored, didn't dare to say any more, until after a while, Mrs. Tang was summoned.
Mrs. Tang was confined for many days, and was almost forgotten by the entire Zhongjinghou Mansion.However, when she reappeared in front of everyone, she was still well-mannered, without the slightest embarrassment.
Although the summons was sudden and urgent, Mrs. Tang was well dressed, her hair was neat and tidy, she was wearing gold hairpins and pearls, and she was dressed like a noble lady in the Marquis Mansion.The confidant girl Ziying is still by her side, she is also clean and tidy, without the decadence of being neglected for a long time.
"My concubine sees Lord Hou!" Mrs. Tang saluted gracefully, neither humble nor overbearing, and generous.
Xiao Hongbo's expression softened a lot, and it was rare for him to ask: "How are you doing recently? I haven't set foot in Hengzhi Courtyard for a long time, so you feel resentful towards me!"
"I don't dare!" Mrs. Tang raised her head slowly, and said, "Master Hou's government affairs are tedious, how dare I work for Master Hou to waste time and effort to visit him."
These words were neither soft nor hard, but they sat back and watched the fact that Xiao Hongbo neglected her.
In normal times, how could Xiao Hongbo have the patience to listen to her nonsense.But at this time, he seemed quite patient, and said: "This is my fault, I can't blame you for being wronged!" After finishing speaking, he told Steward Zhao next to him: "Get ready, I will go to Hengzhiyuan to rest tonight!"
As soon as this remark came out, all the concubines became jealous.This Mrs. Tang has been neglected for a long time, how she suddenly became a fragrant bun must have something to do with Xiao Mei.
After Xiao Hongbo ordered a seat and then tea, Mrs. Tang sat on the lower head of Xiao Hongbo (that seat usually belongs to Mrs. Qu), and then the eldest maid brought fragrant tea, and Ziying presented it to Mrs. Tang.
Mrs. Tang held her breath, sat upright, took the tea, thanked Xiao Hongbo, lifted the cover bowl, blew it gently, took another sip, savored it slowly, and nodded slowly.
"Shurou, what do you think of the taste of this big red robe?" Xiao Hongbo asked enthusiastically.
Shurou is Mrs. Tang's boudoir name, and she was only called by Xiao Hongbo for a year or two when she first entered Xiao's residence.Later, as time passed, he never called her boudoir name again, and treated her like other concubines.
I still remember that when she was young, she was so beautiful that Xiao Hongbo loved her so much that it made the other concubines turn red with jealousy.But... Tang Shurou subconsciously looked at the flat belly. This belly had never bulged, so Xiao Hongbo rejected it.Fortunately, he was not completely ruthless. He ignored the strong opposition from Mrs. Qu and others, and entrusted Miss Xiao, who lost her mother at birth, to her for upbringing.
It was this small amount of kindness that kept Tang Shurou in love all the time. In the later years when she was left out in the cold, she repeatedly comforted herself that Xiao Hongbo was not completely heartless towards her.Xiao Mei was the richest gift he gave her!
The past is like smoke, with the flick of a finger, time flies by like a fleeting moment, she is getting old unknowingly.But in the end, the clouds opened to see the moonlight. Xiao Hongbo summoned her so solemnly, gave her a seat to enjoy tea, and then deliberately praised her in front of those jealous concubines. She knew very well that the The reason must be related to Xiao Mei.
Putting down the tureen calmly, Tang Shurou pursed her lips slightly, and praised: "Good."
This short word made Xiao Hongbo smile.
The fact is that, if he likes her, he will be happy with whatever she says.If he doesn't like her, even her breathing is a mistake.
"This is the tribute sent to the palace this year. The Marquis got some, not too much. If Shurou likes to drink, I will reward you all!" Xiao Hongbo said generously.
"Thank you, Lord Hou!" Tang Shurou bowed and was not polite.With her shrewdness, of course she knew that after drinking tea and receiving the reward, it was time to do something for him.
What else could she do for him?Of course only Xiao Mei!She raised Xiao Mei single-handedly since she was a child!
Sure enough, Xiao Hongbo continued to ask kindly: "Is there any news about Meier recently?"
Tang Shurou's heart skipped a beat, and while smiling gently, she quickly thought about the words and judged what happened.
Looking at Xiao Hongbo's appearance, Xiao Mei might have something good to do, and this good thing can benefit Xiao Hongbo, so he desperately wanted to find this eldest daughter who was once regarded as an abandoned son by him.
But what good could it be!Xiao Mei was annulled by the Nangong family, her reputation was ruined, and she was not eligible to go to the royal family to run for a showgirl or a princess to accompany her.Then, what Qiaozong met made Xiao Hongbo attach so much importance to Huanxi!
"Meier went to Kunlun too far with Master Miaoxin, and there was a letter back and forth last month, and I have already shown it to Lord Hou!" Tang Shurou knew that Xiao Hongbo didn't believe it, but she had to repeat the lie again.
Even if Xiao Mei's affairs were revealed, she would still pretend not to know, pretending to be cheated together.This is the safest way to protect yourself.
"Presumptuous!" Mrs. Qu, who is used to being arrogant, was the first to burst out, poking Tang Shurou's nose and scolding: "Bitch, you are talking nonsense with your eyes open! Missy has eloped with Jun Moxin, why don't you Help her cover up..."
Tang Shurou couldn't help sighing in her heart, people really shouldn't soak in honey water for too long, otherwise their brains would get rusty.Mrs. Qu was obviously overwhelmed by Xiao Hongbo's pampering, and she couldn't tell the priority at all.It is not a wise move to suppress Xiao Mei vigorously when Xiao Hongbo attaches great importance to her.
Sure enough, Xiao Hongbo raised his hand and slapped Madam Qu before she finished speaking. "Shut up!"
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Qu was beaten so that she turned around half a circle. Fortunately, Xiao Feng and Xiao Yue next to her supported her, so she didn't fall down on the spot and made a fool of herself.Even so, the five bright red fingerprints on his face could not be covered up no matter what.
For so many years, Mrs. Qu was so used to being spoiled by Xiao Hongbo, she was slapped unexpectedly, she was completely unprepared, she was stunned on the spot, she even forgot to cry.
All the concubines and ladies were silent, not daring to breathe.
"Put this talkative woman under arrest, shut her up in the ancestral hall to copy Buddhist scriptures, face the wall and think about her past mistakes! Wait until she understands where she is wrong, and then tell this Marquis!" Xiao Hongbo was about to faint, and he didn't want to even for a moment. See Mrs. Qu again. "Quickly drag it on, Ben Hou doesn't want to see her again!"
When Xiao Hongbo was in a rage, not to mention those concubines who were stalking, even Mrs. Qu's four biological daughters did not dare to intercede for her.He could only watch helplessly as his servant dragged Mrs. Qu to the ancestral hall in the backyard to face the wall and think about it.
When Mrs. Qu was dragged away, the whole hall was unusually quiet, and no one dared to speak too much.
"Shurou, keep talking." Xiao Hongbo immediately changed into a warm smile, and continued: "Has Meier contacted you recently? This child may have gone to other places because of her fun! The kiss is gone, you have raised her as if you were born, she is the closest to you! Think of a way and see if you can get her back!"
The corners of Tang Shurou's eyes twitched, but there was no panic on her face. "What Hou Ye said is true! It's just that Meier has a big heart, and she always wants to make some achievements outside to impress Hou Ye, so that she can save her dead mother. Since Hou Ye For her, as a concubine, I will write a letter to her, and let her go back to the mansion!"
Hearing Tang Shurou's firm tone, Xiao Hongbo was overjoyed.He hurriedly handed over the replies from Nangong Mansion and Dugu Mansion to Tang Shurou. "Shurou, look!"
Tang Shurou had been curious for a long time, but now she finally saw the answer. She suppressed her temper and took the unfolding slowly without showing any eagerness.With a dignified appearance, Xiao Hongbo couldn't help but look at him with admiration.
Seeing the post in her hand, Tang Shurou was also a little surprised. "Hmm." After that, there was no more sound, and he seemed to be thinking about this matter.
"Our Zhongjinghou's mansion is getting weaker and weaker day by day, and everyone in the court has to look at their faces!" As the male master of Zhongjinghou's mansion, Xiao Hongbo is full of bitterness.Don't look at him being very imposing in the mansion, all the concubines and daughters will try their best to curry favor with everyone, but he is depressed outside.
The Xiao family was kicked out of the Nangong family's circle of influence, and was never accepted by the Regent's faction. Life was very sad.
In order to survive, Xiao Hongbo could only put down his old face, and sent all his unmarried daughters (except Xiao Mei) to Nangong Mansion and Dugu Mansion, begging the sons of the two mansions to show mercy and keep one or two. At least it is barely rejoining their circle of influence, don't be isolated.
What Xiao Hongbo didn't expect was that both governments responded to the post, and asked for Xiao Mei's birth date by name!
This time, he was completely at a loss.Not to mention how the young master of the Dugu family loves his eldest daughter whose reputation is ruined, the Nangong family has already divorced, so why does he want Xiao Mei's birth date.Could it be that Nangong Yu retired and the other two concubine sons Nangong Jian and Nangong Peng wanted to marry Xiao Mei?
With question marks all over his head, Xiao Hongbo could only inquire about Xiao Mei's whereabouts from Tang Shurou first.You have to find someone first to find out the answer.
"Finally, Nangong and Dugu both asked for Meier's birth date... Benhou thinks there must be some clues!" Xiao Hongbo looked at Tang Shurou. At this time, he really needed a smart woman who could help him see through the current vagaries. The political situation, not a deep house woman like Mrs. Qu who can only act coquettishly and fight for favor. "In your opinion!"
Seeing Xiao Hongbo asking her opinion so solemnly, Tang Shurou was really flattered.For many years, he no longer takes himself so seriously.Now, he is finally willing to look her in the right eyes, but it is because of Xiao Mei.
Tang Shurou thought for a long time before she said seriously, "Master Hou is really worried! Since Nangong and Dugu are both interested in the eldest lady, of course we must actively seize this opportunity to make a comeback!"
Hearing that Tang Shurou thought of it with him, Xiao Hongbo nodded in satisfaction, and then asked: "In your opinion, the Nangong family suddenly asked for Mei'er's birth date. Is this to choose wives for the two concubines, or..."
"It should be to ask Nangong Shizi to marry a concubine!" Tang Shurou carefully speculated: "Maybe the Nangong family felt sorry for retiring the engagement, so they gave in a step!"
In this way, at least the Zhongjinghou Mansion was won over.Although, today's Zhongjinghou Mansion is in decline.
"Probably so!" Xiao Hongbo couldn't help clapping his hands. "Wei Guogong is kind and generous, and I can't bear to see Ben Hou lose face too much!"
In fact, Nangong Mansion resigned the marriage and then demoted his wife to be a concubine, which was basically slapping Xiao Hongbo in the face.But in his opinion, it was like the good news of life coming out of a desperate situation, something he couldn't wish for.
"Hurry up and find a way to contact Meier and let her go home quickly!" Xiao Hongbo assigned a task to Tang Shurou, and at the same time said to her affectionately: "The hope of the Xiao Mansion is on you! As long as you can find the Meier, this Marquis will definitely thank you, and I will never forget your benefits in this lifetime!"

After taking a delightful hot bath, Xiao Mei felt refreshed.Then, the first thing she did when she went out was to go straight to Duguwan's bedroom.
Xiao Mei is a modern person, so she doesn't have the habit of ancient people who have to bring a maid when traveling.When she got to the door, she was stopped by the guards, and she gave her name - Xiao Mei!
Sure enough, after a while, Tong Chuan's guard came over and gave her a polite salute. "Miss Xiao, please!"
Under the guidance of the guards, Xiao Mei entered Duguwan's dormitory.The dormitory is very large, and it took half a cup of tea to walk through several courtyards and several arches before entering Duguwan's dormitory.
Stepping up the steps, a servant girl opened the curtain and greeted her with a smile. "Miss Xiao is here!"
Xiao Mei knew that this maid must be the person serving in Dugu Wan's room.In this era, adult aristocratic men would have housemates before they got married, and the number was undetermined.They are responsible for taking care of the male host's daily life and meeting their usual physical needs, and are also responsible for communication and other things.
Xiao Mei nodded at her and walked into the main room.
Duguwan was tasting tea and enjoying paintings in the teahouse, when she saw Xiao Mei came in and took two steps forward, with a refined smile on her lips, she said, "Miss Xiao, it's been a long time!"
"Long time no see!" Xiao Mei imitated the etiquette of this society and hugged him boldly. Seeing that Duguwan seemed to be unable to help laughing, she realized that she seemed to be more masculine than him, so she couldn't help laughing dryly to resolve her embarrassment.
"Miss Xiao, please sit down and serve tea!" Dugu Wan gracefully made a "please" gesture.
Compared with the hurried side that night, I can see it more clearly now.In the bright hall, the man is gentle and elegant, with a jade tree facing the wind, and his every move reveals good self-cultivation.
"Thank you." Xiao Mei had been wanting to thank him for a long time, after she sat down, she picked up tea and said sincerely: "Thank you Mr. Dugu for taking care of my four cousins!"
Duguwan smiled slightly and said, "It's just a little effort, nothing to worry about."
Xiao Mei couldn't help but chuckled, and said: "I heard my two cousins highly praised you, so I know it's not easy for you to take good care of them."
Because Duguchen was worried about Nan Gongyu, he was in a very bad mood, and when he saw the Wen family sisters approaching him, he scolded him, and they saw him take a detour to avoid it.And this sister spends every day looking for Duguwan to inquire about Xiao Mei's whereabouts, he never shows any signs of impatience, he is very polite, it is really not easy.
That is to say, those who can satisfy the brothers and sisters of the Wen family must at least have first-class measures and self-cultivation.
Duguwan understood, hehe smiled.
"However, no matter how generous and benevolent Mr. Dugu is, this Dugu mansion is not their long-term residence after all. This time I came here to take them away by the way!" Xiao Mei is sincerely grateful to Duguwan for taking in the Wen family brothers and sisters, but the Wen family brothers and sisters can She can't live here without blushing or panting all the time.Duguwan has already caused a lot of trouble, but luckily he has taken care of himself and doesn't mind.
Duguwan pondered for a moment, then asked: "Miss, have you figured out where to take them to settle down?"
This Xiao Mei really didn't think about it carefully, but: "They are all adults, not children! Besides, they have a lot of gold, silver, pearls and jade in their bags, and they can buy a house or land wherever they want, and they won't starve to death!"
Dugu Wan's handsome eyes flickered, and she smiled slightly: "You are very understanding."
"Uh," Xiao Mei couldn't figure out whether his words were complimenting or derogatory, so she had to laugh again.
She and Nangong Yu Duguchen can say whatever they want when they are together, it doesn't matter what they say.Anyway, those two trees are very solid, and it is not uncommon for them to even turn their faces and give them a slap.However, facing the gentle and elegant Duguwan, she was a little nervous.It seemed that he was afraid that what he said would be inappropriate and make him laugh.
"I've been bothering you for many days, I have to go!" Xiao Mei didn't want to go back to Mount Li immediately, at least she had to wait for Jun Moxin to pick her up, but she didn't plan to stay in Dugu Mansion any longer.After all, the Dugu brothers are unmarried, especially Nangong Yu who also lives here, so she understands the reason why Li Xia avoids suspicion.
Jun Mo is jealous, she knows it.
The problems between her and Jun Moxin need to be resolved through patient communication, but she doesn't want to add other problems to these existing problems.
Xiao Mei came here not only to thank Duguwan, but also to say goodbye.She has always been quick-tempered, quick to do things, and never used to procrastinating.Since you plan to leave, you will never delay until dark.
She was willing to take the four brothers and sisters of the Wen family to live in a hotel, but she didn't plan to spend the night in Dugu Mansion.Still for that reason, melons and plums have to avoid suspicion!
Dugu Wan was clear in her heart, but she smiled and said nothing, picked up the tea bowl, lifted the lid, and slowly poured out the tea.His movements were extremely slow, but his mind turned very quickly.
After drinking tea for a while, Xiao Mei put down the teacup and refused to let the maidservant refill the tea, so she planned to say goodbye.
However, before she could speak, Duguwan said slowly, "I heard that you are married to Jun Moxin."
"Well," Xiao Mei swallowed back the words she was about to say goodbye to, she took a special look at Dugu Wan to make sure he had no other intentions.But some couldn't figure out why he suddenly brought up this topic, did it have anything to do with him who she married?This person doesn't look like someone who likes gossip either. "What's wrong."
Duguwan heard Xiao Mei's tone seemed to be on guard, and quickly explained: "Girl, don't get me wrong, I have no other intentions, just... just want to ask... it's related to the girl's body."
It's about her body!The more Xiao Mei listened, the more confused she became.Because Dugu Wan doesn't seem like someone who likes to play tricks, she said: "My lord, if you have something to say, you might as well just say it!"
After hesitating for a while, Duguwan's gaze finally landed on Xiao Mei's wrist wearing the gold ring. "Who gave this bracelet to the girl?"
