Poisonous girl to marry

Chapter 328 Missing
Duke Zhongyong?
Jiang Wu shook her fan and blinked her bright almond eyes, nodded and said: "Ah Ying is indeed worthy of the word loyalty and bravery."

"Your Majesty is wise, Mr. Zhongyong has assisted His Majesty for many years, and he must be worthy of this word." The daughter-in-law saluted, and the rest of the servants in the house also saluted.

Luo Rui was more lively, so she smiled and said: "My servant has met Mrs. Zhongyong."

The rest of the servants also bowed together.

Jiang Wu smiled and told them to stand up.

It is indeed a good thing to be happy to be promoted to an official rank.But the meaning of these things to them is not so simple.Huo Shijiu has changed from Marquis of Jinning all the way to Lord Zhongyong, and he is still a hereditary title. In the future, it will be equivalent to being firmly bound by the emperor's grace.

They originally planned to wait for the matter of the British public to be completely resolved, and then find a chance to leave in the future.So what now?
Thinking of this, Jiang Wu felt a little worried and irritable.He didn't want to show any emotions in front of his servants, he just said that he was tired and told them all to go down and rest.

Ting Yu was as meticulous as a hair, and knew Jiang Wu's temperament better. Seeing that she was unhappy but couldn't ask more questions because of her status, she just took care of her and waited on her side carefully.

"Ma'am." A little girl's crisp voice from the corridor replied: "It's my in-laws who ordered someone to come, please go to the guest courtyard to have a talk."

Jiang Wu sat up straight when she heard the words, and asked Ting Yu beside her: "Is it true that the story of Ah Ying has spread throughout the whole house?"

"It should be. The Li family's message just now did not avoid others, and those maids and women like to chat about these things the most. Presumably, the whole house already knows about it."

Jiang Wu slightly nodded thoughtfully.Presumably soon not only the Fuzhong, but also the outside world will spread the news, where will the public opinion turn?

Ting Yu immediately raised his voice and said: "You are walking fast, go to the outer courtyard and tell the master in-law first, and say that Madam will be here later."

"Yes."

The little girl stepped back, and the sound of footsteps gradually faded away.

Jiang Wu took Tingyu and Yuqiao with her and went for a walk in the outer courtyard.Ting Yu was thoughtful, worried that Jiang Wu would be exhausted halfway, so he specially ordered the stout woman to lift the sedan chair and follow behind.In the summer night, the breeze is blowing. Compared with the heat of the day, the temperature at this moment is extremely comfortable. Jiang Wu fell asleep again in the afternoon, and she is in high spirits at the moment. I went to the guest house with a smile,

Jiang Chenfeng had been waiting in front of the door for a long time, when he saw Jiang Wu and his party coming, he trotted to the front.

"Three sisters."

"Master Jiang." The servant girls saluted in unison.

Jiang Wu sent them down first, and went to the yard side by side with Jiang Chenfeng.

"Dad knows?"

"Well, I just heard the news. I originally planned to go to bed early, but now I'm so excited that I don't want to sleep anymore. I just wanted to find you. It's dark, his legs and feet are inconvenient, and you are strong. , Proper exercise is also good for your body, I simply advise him not to move, please come and see him."

Jiang Wu smiled and said: "Second brother still understands me. I slept all afternoon and my flesh became stiff. Didn't I just want to go out for a walk? It's not so hot at the moment. I'm not afraid of heatstroke. I'm here to chat with you Chatting is also good."

Jiang Xuewen was sitting on the Arhat bed by the window at the moment, the evening wind was blowing through the screen window, making the room very cool, and the chatter outside was getting closer.

Seeing that Jiang Wu was on Danchi, Jiang Xuewen hurriedly said loudly: "Brother Chen, help your third younger sister, carefully tripping."

Jiang Chenfeng obediently supported Jiang Wu, but he was slandering in his heart, Jiang Wu still needs someone to help her walk like this?Not to mention that the body is less than three months old, even if it is about to give birth, it will not become clumsy.

Jiang Wu entered the room and saw a silk lamp placed on the small table of the Arhat bed where Jiang Xuewen was sitting, outlining his face in light and dark shadows, one leg was hanging down, and the other was hanging down the empty trouser leg.

Seeing Jiang Xuewen like this, Jiang Wu felt sour in her heart, and called out gently: "Father."

"Hey, come and sit down."

The three of them sat down, and Jiang Xuewen asked excitedly, "Young Master is Zhongyong Gong now?"

"Yeah. The fiefdom may not have changed, but the title has changed." Jiang Wu shook her head and smiled, "I thought he was already a marquis. After all, he is so young, and being a marquis for no reason is enough to be criticized."

"It's different. My uncle was appreciated by the emperor because he has really given in these years." Jiang Xuewen said sincerely: "Father is really happy for him, and also for you. Fortunately, the sky is hanging down the curtain, and I didn't make me do nothing. Big mistake to redeem."

"Father, let the past go." Jiang Wu looked at Jiang Xuewen, and said forgivingly: "Don't think about it anymore. At that time, the position was different. For you, Ah Ying is indeed a heinous villain. You want to get rid of him for the sake of Yan Guo. Perhaps your actions were a bit excessive, but the intention was good. Now that everything is over and the world knows the truth, it is enough for us."

Jiang Xuewen hoped that Jiang Wu could forget all the unpleasant things in the past, at least the relationship between their father and daughter would not be so rigid, but now it has fulfilled his wish, and thinking of Huo Shijiu's future, he was very excited, and there was something in his eyes. Feeling wet, nodded again and again: "Okay, okay."

Jiang Wu used to think that Jiang Xuewen's age was the best age for a man, and he was still young, but now looking at him, she found that not only Huo Jiujiu's temples were covered with frost and dust, but also the wrinkles around Jiang Xuewen's eyes were already deep.

Who is spared by the years?This life will pass soon, let go of what you have to let go, and cherish everything you have.

Jiang Wu then accompanied Jiang Xuewen and Jiang Chenfeng to talk for a while, until it was dark, and it was about time for Jiang Xuewen to take a rest before taking the sedan chair back to the inner house.

The woman who carried the sedan chair was carefully selected, and her hands were very secure at the moment. Jiang Wu's sedan chair just entered the second gate, and the woman who guarded the gate replied: "Ma'am, the grandfather just passed the door. When I came back, I just entered the vertical flower gate and went inside."

Jiang Wu smiled and nodded.

Sure enough, after walking for not long, they could already see the backs of Huo Shijiu and Cao Yu walking slowly side by side.

Ting Yu called out "Grandpa".Huo Jiujiu turned around and saw Jiang Wu returning in a bamboo sedan chair.

"Where did the hour go?"

"Go to Daddy's."

When she came to the front, the strong smell of alcohol came to her nostrils, Jiang Wuwan covered half of her face with her fan, and teased: "A lot of bars have been filled tonight?"

Huo Shijiu knew that she couldn't smell the smell of alcohol, so he backed away and said with a smile, "Today, I was finally caught. After a while, I couldn't bear the alcohol, so I didn't feel comfortable after eating. The emperor sent me a message to exchange for water to drink."

Jiang Wu laughed when she heard the words, and first told the women to go back to the inner house, saying: "Go slowly, just to dissipate the smell of alcohol, I will first order someone to prepare warm water for you to bathe in."

"Okay." Huo Shijiu saw that the sedan chair Jiang Wu was riding in was far away, and then said: "Mo Ran, since Miss Yang is leaving, you should go see him off anyway. In fact, as I said just now, if you really I feel reluctant, so I can keep her here. Now that the Duke of England has been imprisoned in the sky prison, and the emperor is busy with court affairs, he probably won't remember her coming."

"Master, it's up to her to decide whether she will stay or not, and I can't participate." Cao Yu sighed, "Since I don't intend to do anything to her, why should I keep her if she wants to leave? That's her freedom."

"You really don't plan to think about it?" Huo Shijiu didn't care that Cao Yu's favorite person was his wife. From the perspective of a friend, he really didn't want to see Cao Yu go on like this. , can you still be alone for a lifetime?

Cao Yu just smiled, but didn't express what was in his heart.

In the past, the sea was difficult for water, except that Wushan was not a cloud, he was so stubborn, not to mention that Huo Shijiu would not like it if he found out, but if Du Duojiang found out, he would probably have to punish him again.

The news of Huo Nineteen's new Duke Zhongyong spread quickly, and the emperor's reward arrived at Huo's house early the next morning. Jiang Wu didn't go to see Wen Dajiahun off, but happened to meet Jing Tong who came in person, and talked for a while before returning Send a big red envelope.

For several days, Huo Shijiu's heroic deeds were spread all over the streets and alleys. From the mouths of the people who wanted him to die, he became a loyal minister who endured humiliation and dedicated himself to serving the country regardless of personal gains and losses. There are even many After seeing Huo Shijiu once, the young students began to imitate Huo Shijiu's clothes.Such rumors spread ten to ten and hundreds of times, but within a few days, young talents can often be seen on the street wearing a light-colored long gown, or even a black one.

Jiang Wu couldn't help laughing out loud when she heard the vivid narration of Luo Rui who went out to buy fresh fruits.

Luo Rui smiled and said: "Madam Mo Xiao, what the servant girl said is true, you don't know, even the servant girl went to buy some fruit today, and people will be polite once they hear that I am the maidservant of Duke Zhongyong's mansion." How much is it?"

It's no wonder that Luo Rui excitedly opened up the chatterbox. As Huo Shijiu's family member, after being cast aside for such a long time, all of a sudden, her previous notoriety was wiped away. Luo Rui needn't be less happy now.

"Grandpa." With the soft curtain lifted, Huo Shijiu walked in quickly.

Jiang Wu's original intention of joking, when she saw Huo Shijiu's slightly unhappy handsome face, she immediately faded away, turned away the people around her, and asked in a low voice: "Aying, why did you come back so early today, what happened to you? Is it difficult, or is someone doing things that you don't like?"

Huo Shijiu took Jiang Wu's hand, looked at her soft long hair hanging on her chest, and said in a daze, "Lu Tianming is missing."

"Missing?" Jiang Wu said in amazement: "So a big living person will suddenly disappear from the [-] soldiers and horses in the capital camp?"

"That's how it was reported below. The emperor was furious after hearing this. He asked me again."

"Then how did you answer?"

Jiang Wu took the fan and gently shook it for Huo Shijiu, Huo Shijiu said: "I only say that the affairs of the British government are publicized, this is an inevitable result."

Jiang Wu pursed her lips when she heard the words.No wonder the little emperor died of anger when he heard such an answer.

"So he started asking you what to do again?"

"Yeah." Huo Shijiu scratched his hair irritably, and said, "This has happened one after another, disrupting my plan."
