"Second sister, you don't know something. My uncle is usually the boss at home. Whether it's my aunt or several cousins, if there is anything that doesn't go as he wants, he will blame him indiscriminately, without any hesitation.
They don't show mercy to others. However, the aunts in their house are not easy to get along with. For this reason, my aunt suffered a lot, but she could only talk to my mother in private. But my mother was very good at dealing with my uncle.
." Xia Houshu said and blinked, "Don't look at my mother who is usually very kind and considerate, but in front of my uncle, she speaks rudely. Not only does she argue with reason, but she also loudly accuses my uncle.
It was not done properly. Many times, my uncle would be so angry with her that he would turn red in the face and hold his chest to tell her to leave quickly. So when my uncle did something inappropriate, someone needed to provoke him like my mother, and then draw his attention.
They were scattered."
Xia Houchun suddenly realized: "So you are deliberately irritating him and drawing his attention so that you don't have more thoughts to pay attention to Zhong Lufu?"
Xia Houshu nodded and said, "The one who knows me is my second sister!"
"But he is your biological uncle after all. If you do this, you are not afraid that he will really get angry and go to your uncle and aunt to file a lawsuit against you?" Xia Houchun still felt that her method was too risky, and he might even
Get in there yourself.
"What are you afraid of?" Xia Houshu said nonchalantly, "My uncle's biggest wish and regret in this life is that he does not have a son who can inherit his legacy. He doesn't care much about his daughters, let alone my niece? What if my father and mother blame me?
I, I said I learned it from my mother!"
"You little clever guy!" Xia Houchun couldn't help but hit her forehead again and sighed, "I can also see that Prince Gong's mansion is different from ours. Our family has only a few daughters, so the elders
You raise your daughter like a treasure and look at her like a ball, for fear that something will happen. But your uncle is already nearly fifty years old, but he still has no children, and he has such a big family business to pass on, so you can’t blame him.
Ignore my daughter. But are you sure Zhong Lufu and Qing Kui will be better off this way?"
"I'm not sure either." Xia Houshu shook his head and said, "Qingkui was completely unaware of this matter. My uncle blamed her because he couldn't pry Zhong Lufu's mouth off at the moment. At the same time, he also wanted to warn Qingkui, sister.
There is both prosperity and loss, so that she can provide some useful information and not hide it for Zhong Lufu. But in fact, with my uncle's ability, he does not need to do this at all. He will soon know that Zhong Lufu and
Ruoqian's cousin relationship. So he scolded Qingkui together because he felt too embarrassed. He had to find someone who could talk to vent his anger."
Xia Houchun felt tired after listening to it, and couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that every family has a hard time reciting the scriptures. This scripture from Prince Gong's Mansion is really difficult to recite."
The two sisters walked as they talked and continued back to the camp.
The doctors had already asked Xu Ruoqian to clean and bandage Xu Ruoqian's wound. They also prepared some medicine for him to drink. The next step was to wait for Xu Ruoqian to overcome the difficulty on his own.
On the other side, Xia Houyi and several other men who shot the black bear together were also injured to varying degrees, and they were all cleaned and bandaged.
The Xiahou sisters waited outside for a while, and finally when Xiahou Yi came out, Xiahou Shu immediately went up to check his injuries. Xiahou Chun was also very concerned.
"It's just some flesh wounds, nothing to worry about." Xia Houyi smiled nonchalantly, "It's just that I won't participate in tomorrow's hunting."
Xia Houshu didn't care at all about hunting or not, because as Xia Houyi, she didn't need to compete with other family members who had lower official ranks or were not qualified to inherit. After carefully examining her brother's injuries, she said:
"You have already stolen the show today, so leave the opportunity to others."
Xia Houyi said: "It is true that you have stolen a lot of limelight, but you are not bad either. Now everyone in Nanyuan is praising you for your bravery, strategy and courage!"
Xia Houshu recalled the previous scene when rumors about her spread all over the capital. He couldn't help curling his lips and said: "It's rare for them to praise something, so let them praise me more. It can also be regarded as compensation for the grievances and slander I suffered before.
Already."
Xia Houyi looked at her but smiled and said nothing.
Xia Houchun looked around and asked: "Second brother, isn't third brother with you?"
"He'er..." Xia Houyi thought about it carefully, "He seems to have left with the girl from the Lu family."
The two sisters looked at each other and said in unison: "Lu Yingxue?"
Xia Houyi nodded and said, "It seems you all know."
Xia Houshu saw with his own eyes that the girl from the Lu family tied a ribbon on Xia Houhui, and he had doubts in his heart. However, when they heard that their brother left with the girl like that, the two sisters were still a little shocked.
"Third brother, he is too unreserved!" Xia Houshu said.
"I will write a letter to my mother when I get back!" Xiahou Chunye said.
Xia Houyi held his forehead, secretly worried for Xia Houyi.
The three brothers and sisters were chatting and laughing, and did not notice at all that three or five people were galloping toward them on horseback in the distance. The leader was Yu Wenke, the crown prince of Prince Ling, and several others had seen them in the paddock before.
"Brother Xiahou, Miss Xiahou, what a coincidence, we meet again!" Yu Wenke said with a full smile.
Why is this man still haunting?
Xia Houshu screamed in his heart and quickly turned around to leave.
Xia Houchun also frowned, thinking that all his previous words were in vain.
Yu Wenke's sharp eyes turned a blind eye to the expressions of the two girls. Instead, he looked at Xia Houshu who had nowhere to hide, and asked diligently: "I just saw the two Xiahou girls in the paddock, but why do the three girls always see each other?"
I have to avoid it? Could it be that I have offended the third girl in some way before?"
Xia Houshu just took two steps and immediately stopped.
When he first heard about Yuwen Ke from Xia Houyi, Xia Houshu still had some sympathy for him. But as soon as the things in Lingdu calmed down for a while, he started acting like a monster again, deliberately approaching her again and again, which was nothing more than
Recognized her. In the past, she was worried that her identity would be exposed because she was the secret envoy of the Evergreen Sect at that time. However, after the incident, her uncle had long wiped away all traces of her presence in the Evergreen Sect, so she did not need to
What else are you afraid of?
Thinking of this, Xia Houshu calmed down and turned around slowly.
Yu Wenke's expression did not show any surprise, but rather surprise. Although he had long guessed that Mo Zhen and Xia Houshu were the same person, men's clothing and women's clothing were still different. Because of his age and height, Mo Zhen always gave people a different look.
There was a feeling of stunted development, but when she put on women's clothes and appeared in front of him as Xia Houshu, he felt that everything about her was just right.
Xia Houshu looked at him and said coldly: "I wonder what the prince wants from me?"
Yu Wenke said with a smile: "I thought that the three girls would not come here if they didn't know how to ride and shoot. I didn't expect that the three girls were not only courageous, but also brave and courageous. They shined brightly on the first day of hunting!"
Xia Houshu already knew in his heart that Yu Wenke was referring to the incident where he almost accidentally hurt him last time, but he may not be too capricious. He had made it clear before at Rouge Shop and apologized, but now Yu Wenke
It was not the man's fault to tell the truth. She was a little unconvinced, but she also knew that Yu Wenke must still be worried about the incident that almost accidentally hurt him before, and it was not easy to speak out and intensify the conflict, so she had to keep a low profile and said: "
I just came to join in the fun and happened to meet him."
"The third girl is too modest." Yu Wenke smiled with his eyes, changed the topic, and said, "However, as the saying goes, after three days of separation, you should treat each other with admiration. Xiao Wang wants to compete with the third girl again today."
Having learned the lesson from last time, Xia Houshu immediately alerted himself when he heard about the competition, and declined politely: "I have only learned a little bit, and I can't stand on the stage. The prince overestimates it."
Yu Wenke had understood Xia Houshu's riding and shooting skills and knew that she was not being modest, so he did not force it. He tightened the reins in his hands, looked at several people traveling with him, and suddenly said: "I just saw your majesty.
It’s coming this way, why don’t we just wait here.”
"Your Majesty?" Xia Houshu didn't understand for a moment what kind of medicine was sold in Yu Wenke's gourd, so he looked at Xia Houyi.
Xia Houyi looked at Xia Houshu's clothes that had not been changed. The blood-stained area had turned reddish-brown, which was very conspicuous and not very decent. He said, "My roommate's clothes are unclean and it is not appropriate to see you." Then he said to Xiahou.
Chun winked and said, "Take her to change quickly."
Xiahou Chunxin understood the idea and quickly went to rescue Xiahou.
"I'm afraid it's too late." Yu Wenke smiled and looked not far away, "Look, His Majesty is already here."
After saying that, he jumped off the horse, and several followers behind her also dismounted.
Following Yu Wenke's gaze, he saw a group of people approaching from far away. The man at the head was tall and dressed in a black robe with dark patterns. The outline of his facial features was as clear and deep as a knife. The whole person exuded a kind of intimidation.
The aura of a king that shakes the world.
And Xia Houshu also knew this person.
In a daze, she felt someone pulling her. She quickly dismounted her horse and knelt down to greet the Holy Driver. She didn't dare to look at the so-called emperor, and even hoped that she was just dazzled.
The dignified Emperor Nan Qi is actually Qin Nan!
No wonder she thought his name sounded familiar to her at the time, "Qi Nan" and "Nan Qi". They were named after the country. Who else but the emperor would have such courage? Why hadn't she thought of that before?
Then the murder case at Huguo Temple and the fire at Shuyu Pavilion are not just ordinary cases.
Thinking that Qi Nan had met him before and had an unpleasant experience with him... Xiahou Shu hurriedly lowered his head to prevent him from being recognized.
Xia Houchun finally remembered why she felt familiar when she first saw Qin Nan. It turned out that she had seen Qin Nan before when she entered the palace, but too much time had passed, and she had gone to the Western Region and stayed there for several years before forgetting about it.
In the blink of an eye, the young emperor had already walked up to them. A familiar voice sounded above his head, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
"What are you concubines discussing here?" Dugu Che said, looking specifically at the horses behind Yuwen Ke. The bag containing the prey was only half full, and asked, "What did Ziyan gain today?"
Ziyan is the cousin of Yuwen Ke.
"I'm ashamed to say that." Yu Wenke cupped his hands and said, "I turned around a few times and found nothing except a few hares, so I asked the emperor to punish me. However, this Xiahou brother was very powerful and killed him on the first day of hunting.
A black bear must be the leader in today’s hunting.”
Xia Houshu was so angry that he gritted his teeth. This Yuwen Ke was indeed not a good person. Every word he said did not forget to drag others into trouble! If it were not in front of the emperor, she would never swallow her anger.
I just heard the emperor say: "Yu Wen loves Qing and refuses to kill. He is also following Taizu's instructions and showing compassion. What crime is there?"
It seems that the emperor is still smart and does not buy Yu Wenke's account.
Xia Houshu thought to himself.
Dugu Che glanced at the people in front of him again, and finally cast his eyes on the Xiahou brothers and sisters. A wild and unrestrained smile suddenly appeared on his handsome face, and he said: "This must be the son of the Duke of Yue, right? Then the two next to him
yes?"
What was supposed to come came anyway. Xia Houshu clearly felt that he was shaking, but he did not dare to answer. What would happen if the emperor also recognized her?
