Although Mrs. Shouning Hou was in a state of confusion, when she actually arrived at the small courtyard not far from the Huguo Temple and saw her daughter, her face turned pale. Especially when Xu Xun three times five divided two
After explaining the whole story, her hands holding Qian's mother were shaking even more, and her whole body seemed to fall completely in the next moment. She instinctively wanted to question Xu Xun's statement, but the man in the bamboo hat
Having been brought here by the person in charge of Xichang Qianhu, Xu Xun opened the skylight and spoke frankly, saying that she could go ahead and ask. After she interrogated with a little luck, she was naturally angry and anxious, and she dared not say a word.
.
The man took two ingots of gold from someone else and pretended to be her future son-in-law to send a message to Zhang Jingxuan, intending to meet and have an affair. He not only wanted to ruin her daughter's reputation, but also ruined the reputation of the Zhang family.
At this moment, she was sitting alone on the bedside weeping. It wasn't until a groan came from the bed that she hurriedly turned her head and said, "Jingxuan, Jingxuan, what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Jingxuan opened her eyes with difficulty, rolled her eyes, and was stunned when she saw her mother sitting next to her. She didn't notice anyone else for a while, and grabbed Mrs. Shouning Hou's hand.
Shou explained: "Mom, don't blame Brother Zhao. It's just that I haven't been out or seen him since I made the decision. That's why he sent a letter asking to see me..."
Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered that after the man wearing a bamboo hat flashed in, she suddenly became confused and didn't know anything. She couldn't help but look around, but her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of veil.
Not too far away, she asked in a panic: "Mom, where is Brother Zhao? Are you really angry at him? There are many words."
Mrs. Shouninghou only felt that her throat was sore, and she raised her hand and deliberately slapped her to wake her up. However, since her daughter was born, she had not touched her finger, and her hand ended up frozen there. However, if
Just a few words to convey the words, something almost happened this time, what if there is no such luck next time?
After a while, she said word by word with a cold face: "Brother Zhao, a random person comes to deliver a message, and you actually take it as true? At this time, he is still happily preparing for your marriage at home, why?
Do you have the time to come to Huguo Temple? Do you know who the person who rushed in is? You know what his intentions are. Do you know what happened at Huguo Temple today?"
Zhang Jingxuan's face turned pale after her mother asked several questions in succession. After a while, she unconsciously grabbed the sheets under her body and stammered: "Mom, you mean, you mean that person is not..."
It’s not Brother Zhao…”
Looking straight at her daughter, Mrs. Shouning Hou shook her head bitterly for a long time, and then sighed sadly: "You have been in the palace often since you were a child, and you are always hanging out with the emperor. I was thinking at that time
It is always good for your father and your family to have you get closer to the Emperor. But I didn't expect that you have learned nothing else but that kind of indifference. The Emperor is the Emperor, and even if he makes mistakes, they are also the faults of his subordinates.
But you are different. If you hadn't been lucky today, when you sent the two girls away to have a private meeting, you could still meet a noble person to help you. Not to mention your reputation, you would have lost your life. The man who sneaked into the Huguo Temple under his false name has already been
Take it. The little novice who sent you the message died an unexpected death. Think about it for yourself."
After saying this, she didn't look at Zhang Jingxuan, stood up and walked straight out. When she reached the door, she finally heard uncontrollable sobbing coming from the bed, and she couldn't hold it back until she looked back.
The moment she left the door and closed the two doors behind her back, she heard the sobbing turned into loud crying, and her own nose felt sore for a moment.
Seeing Xu Xun and Shen Yue standing side by side in the yard, Mrs. Hou Ning wiped the corners of her eyes, then stepped forward and saluted: "Uncle Pingbei, today we are all concubines, right? You just thought it was Fang Fang without any distinction."
The girl is related to the disappearance of the little girl, and she even indulged the servant to attack the girl's maid. I really can't help it. The last time my Marquis and the Dalang were able to return safely, it was all thanks to Uncle Pingbei. This time Miss Fang has done it again.
You saved my Jingxuan’s sexual naming festival, and you made people cover up and protect you. I really don’t know how to be grateful..."….
Although Mrs. Shouning Hou spoke extremely humbly, Xu Xun didn't know that if he hadn't relied on the trust of the little emperor and his previous military exploits, he would have been able to compete with Shouning Hou who only had Empress Dowager Zhang as his assistant, and even
If the situation is overwhelming, Mrs. Shouning Hou will not think of gratitude first, but most likely murder and silence. After all, for the Zhang family, this scandal is too big. If it is not handled well, not only will their reputation be ruined, but the previous ones will also be ruined.
Old accounts will be dug up.
Therefore, when he saw Mrs. Shouning Hou secretly looking at Shen Yue and Ruyi while talking, he smiled lightly and said: "There is no need to say thank you, madam. When it comes to matters like this, I have nothing to do with public and private affairs."
You shouldn't just sit idly by. As for Miss Fang you are talking about...she is my fiancée Shen. She has a strong nature, and she will not sit back and watch those thieves insult the honor of the eldest lady."
Fiancée Shen
At this moment, not to mention Mrs. Shouning Hou who was dumbfounded, even Shen Yue was dumbfounded. She never expected that Xu Xun originally said how he would give her a reason to dive, but then went back to make up a reason, and even did not hesitate to do so.
He had carefully planned a game, but now he took the initiative to reveal it in front of Mrs. Shouning Hou. However, the sweet feeling that he openly called his fiancée in front of others diluted her shock for a moment.
.
Mrs. Shouninghou had heard that Xu Xun had a first-in-law, but she asked someone to inquire about it. She learned that the Shen family had thrown herself into the Qinhuai River on the Wende Bridge on the wedding day because the Zhao family forced her to marry. She sighed and sighed.
I still wanted to promote my daughter's marriage, but I didn't expect to meet this person who should have been dead for a long time at this time and place. Seeing Shen Yue's cheeks showing a slight blush, and her appearance was not inferior to her own daughter, she thought again
Remembering how she had just seen the half-dead traitor groaning in pain, she glanced at Xu Xun again, and for a moment an unrelated thought came to her mind.
If this Miss Shen was really alone and beat the traitor to the last breath, no wonder she jumped from the Wende Bridge when she was forced to marry... With such good martial arts and such a strong temper, she was lucky enough to survive.
It makes sense. It's just that after traveling thousands of miles to find the capital, I was lucky enough to meet Xu Xun, a man who values love and righteousness. Otherwise, if he had not married someone else, would it be possible for a mere rich girl from the Shen family to marry the noble daughter of an official?
Fight?
She only had a legitimate daughter like Zhang Jingxuan under her knees, and the emperor acted as matchmaker for the marriage, and the Queen Mother nodded. Now that something like this happened again, Mrs. Shouning Hou was disheartened and knew that she had other extravagant hopes. It was a daydream. However, seeing this pair of people standing there, she thought that the emperor trusted Xu Xun very much, and suddenly an idea came to her mind. Seeing Shen Yue step forward and bend her knees slightly, she quickly helped them up and pulled them up. I looked at it and immediately laughed.
"It turns out that Miss Shen, Uncle Pingbei, turned down so many marriage proposals because of you. I was still wondering what kind of person he was at that time. I didn't expect that you are a heroine and you traveled thousands of miles to come to the capital. Apart from your uncle, , it should be that you have no relatives? In many words, you are my Jingxuan’s benefactor. If you don’t dislike it, you might as well live with me for the time being. The uncle at first rejected many families with your matter and wanted to settle the matter. , the Queen Mother is the most appropriate to speak, I will go out and speak to the Queen Mother."
Xu Xun originally wanted to take advantage of today's opportunity to clarify the matter simply, so as to save Empress Dowager Zhang from thinking about how to get a woman to him. At this moment, when Mrs. Shouning Hou spoke, he was slightly startled, and then he knew that the other party He took the opportunity to show his goodwill and immediately glanced at Shen Yue, but he did not take advantage of the Zhang family's momentum as Zhu Houzhao said casually.
The Zhang family is a relative, which sounds prominent, but just look at the behavior of the Zhang family, from Zhang Heling, Zhang Zong, to Shouning Hou’s wife, Zhang Jingxuan, and her daughter, these people can cause great trouble if they are not careful. When things come up, it’s better to stay away from each other in your free time…
So, after smiling at Shen Yue, he nodded and said: "She arrived in the capital not long ago, and I only had time to report it to the emperor. I originally placed her outside, but today this happened to the young ladies. It shows that it is not safe outside, so I plan to take her to live in the mansion for a while. Anyway, the population of Xing'anbo Mansion is very simple, and I don't care about those gossips. But the Queen Mother, I am afraid that Mrs. Labor really needs to go and mention it. mentioned."
"No, no, it's just a simple effort, just say thank you." Mrs. Shouning Hou breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Xu Xun's promise that although he didn't agree to let his fiancée live in the Shouning Hou Mansion, he didn't completely refuse her kindness. , and then asked tentatively, "Speaking of which, I wonder how Uncle Ping Bei plans to deal with the traitor from before?"
"In this way, let Zhong Qianhu of Xichang be interrogated for two more days, and then be held secretly to prevent the matter from leaking out. Zhong Qianhu is a tight-knit population, so there will be no mistakes. As for what happened in the Huguo Temple, let's just say It is said that a traitor sneaked in to set the fire, and ended up killing the young novice. He was taken back to Xichang and died of serious injuries. That's all. The matter will only be limited to a few of us, even the Marquis, so it's better to keep it a secret." At this point, Xu Xun paused for a moment and then said, "It's just that the madam's search for the eldest lady first made too much noise, and it also involved Old Madam Li Ge. She said to the outside world that the eldest lady was boring in the temple, so she went out to visit the temple fair. That’s when I met my fiancée. Although it’s against the rules, it’s not a big mistake after all.”
Although Mrs. Shouning Hou regretted that she should not have gone to Mrs. Zhu, the matter had already come out. Even her husband and Queen Mother Zhang must hide it, otherwise her daughter would not be a human being in the future. And the power of two evils To put it mildly, Xu Xun insisted that Zhang Jingxuan sneaked out to watch the temple fair. Although she was also deviant and unruly, this explanation was still reasonable when applied to her daughter. Anyway, given the family background of the Zhao family, she would not be looked down upon and neglected. She gave birth to her daughter. So, she only hesitated for a moment and nodded lightly.
"Just as Uncle Pingbei said."
"However, this matter is strange. Although several people have been killed because of the evil words case, the investigation has not stopped. Now, I will ask Zhong Qianhu to continue investigating this matter. Madam has something in her heart. Just a few will do.”
Mrs. Shouning Hou wished she could peel off the guy who secretly plotted against her daughter. When Xu Xun said this, she could not help but feel even more grateful. For a moment, she thanked Shen Yue profusely. Then she glanced at Shen Yue again and said thoughtfully. : "It's better to choose a day than to hit it. Please Miss Shen accompany me to send Jingxuan home. When I turn around, I will immediately go to the palace to ask for an audience with the Queen Mother. What does Uncle Pingbei think?"
