Chapter 55: The Return of the Fifth Master
"That's what she said?" Zhou Zhen'er's face was extremely ugly, and she asked in a difficult voice.
Xiao Rong nodded silently.
"No, I don't believe it." Zhou Zhen'er shook her head and muttered, "Aunt Qin won't treat me like this." β
Obviously, Aunt Qin was very good to her before. Even if she really doesn't have any elixir, she should be considerate of her body and try to delay it for a day or two. How could she be so cruel to let her stay?
If she really has to stay, I don't know when she will be able to go to Hezhou in the future.
The marshal will marry a wife soon, maybe he will take a concubine, and when the time comes, how can there be a place for her next to the marshal?
Aunt Qin wouldn't have understood this, but she still did it.
"Why is this happening?" Zhou Zhen'er was simply devastated, she was both confused and frightened, and she really couldn't accept this matter calmly, "There must be something wrong." I'm going to ask Aunt Qin in person. β
As she spoke, she lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
"Miss-" Fluttershy and Rong were shocked and hurriedly stopped her and pressed her to the bed, "Don't be impulsive, Madame doesn't agree, let's find a way, if you annoy Madame, it will be more than worth the loss." β
In fact, in their opinion, Zhou Zhen'er had already annoyed Mrs. Qin.
As soon as Zhou Zhen'er heard this, she stopped her movements, cried whining, and said, "Except for me to kneel and beg her in person, what else can I do now?" β
"This ......" Rong and Fluttershy are also very embarrassed, and they can't think of any good solution.
Eventually, Fluttershy tentatively says, "Otherwise, Miss will beg the marshal." If the marshal was willing to ask Madame for medicine, or promised to stay for Madame for two more days, Madame would have agreed. β
"Yes!" Zhou Zhen'er stopped crying, her eyes lit up, her face showed a little joy, and she murmured, "How did I forget about this." As long as the marshal nods, it is useless for Aunt Qin to oppose it, in the end, the marshal's order is the most important. β
"Fluttershy, you're smarter than Xiaorong, so go to the front yard and take a look, and when the marshal comes back, tell Marshal SΓΉ that I'm sick and ask Marshal to come and see me." Zhou Zhen'er hurriedly commanded.
Fluttershy responds crisply and hurries out.
As Zhou Zhen'er's maids, they are both prosperous and lossy with her, so they naturally hope that Zhou Zhener will get better and better, and they are naturally very dedicated to her. If she is left behind, what future does the young lady have?
Seeing Fluttershy leave, Zhou Zhen'er breathed a sigh of relief and slowly lay down again.
Seeing that Xiao Rong was still kneeling on the ground respectfully, a trace of disgust and dislike flashed in Zhou Zhen'er's eyes, if she wasn't stupid and couldn't even speak, how could she be counted down by the maids beside Aunt Qin?
It's a pity that there is no one to use around her except for these two maids, otherwise, she would have been driven away a long time ago.
"You go and kneel in the courtyard for an hour." Zhou Zhener said. There is a second- or third-class little girl beside her to serve her.
"Yes." After Xiao Rong heard this, he kowtowed to her, got up and went outside to kneel.
In the evening, Qin Youan really came over.
"Marshal, are you here?" When Zhou Zhen'er saw him coming, he was pleasantly surprised, the marshal still attached importance to himself, so he struggled to get up.
Seeing that her face was full of sickness, Qin Youan frowned slightly, and did not move forward, only stood a few steps away, and said coldly: "Since you are sick, just lie down and don't toss." β
When he was the emperor in his previous life, none of the concubines dared to come to his side when he was sick, lest he be sick and give him too much. He himself had such taboos.
When I came here this time, I didn't pay much attention to her, but I heard the maid say that she was very sick, and he was afraid that the trip would be delayed, so he always wanted to see the situation. What's more, his mother also asked him to take care of her a little more.
"Thank you Marshal for your concern, the concubine is fine." Zhou Zhen'er thought that she cared about herself, her heart was as sweet as drinking honey, and a little flush rose on her cheeks, but she still didn't get up, she only blushed and said: "Zhen'er specially invited the marshal to come over this time, in fact, there is one thing to ask for......"
At the same time, Qin Shu saw that it was almost dark, and they were already holding the lights, and asked in some surprise, "Why hasn't your marshal come back yet?" β
According to this point, he should usually come back, and if there is something, he will send someone to inform him.
Dong Xue replied: "Madam, it seems that Aunt Zhou's maid called the marshal away." β
Fluttershy's work is not hidden, so many people see it.
"Oh? Is it? Qin Shu curled the corners of her lips, faintly showing a bit of sarcasm, "It seems that Aunt Zhou is very dissatisfied with my orders!" β
Dongxue, Qiushuang and others all showed a little anger on their faces.
Madame had already ordered her to stay, and she turned her head and went to beg the marshal, isn't this obviously dissatisfied with Madame? also wants the marshal to suppress his wife, and he doesn't look at his own catties.
"Madam, she's humiliating herself." Dongxue suppressed the disdain in her heart and said indignantly.
She didn't think that the marshal would disobey his wife for the sake of a Zhou Zhen'er.
Qin Shu smiled and didn't speak, Zhou Zhen'er had completely polished her feelings for her.
Qin Shu didn't wait long, but it was only a quarter of an hour's work, and Qin Youan came back, but he was a little expressionless, looking very majestic.
Qin Shu still knows his son very well, and looking at his appearance, he knows that he is not in a good mood.
Qin Shu didn't ask him, You'an would take care of it, so he directly asked people to set the meal.
You'an didn't say much, and the two had dinner silently.
After the dining table was removed, Qin Shu looked around and sighed: "I'm leaving tomorrow, and I'm really a little reluctant now." β
"Anyway, this place is reserved for my mother, and my mother can come back to live whenever she wants. The Marshal's Mansion in Hezhou will be more spectacular and beautiful than this one, and my mother will definitely like it. β
Qin You'an for this, pour
Qin Youan has nothing to give up or worry about here. He fought in all directions, but he didn't have such a sensitive mind. Besides, for him, the place where his mother is is his home.
After a pause, Qin Youan suddenly spoke again in a flat tone: "Mother, that week, Zhen'er didn't know what to do, and she disobeyed her mother's order, and she was already punished by me, so let her stay here to copy the scriptures and reflect on her mistakes." β
And there was no deadline set yet, and if it weren't for his orders, she would have stayed here.
He would send someone to guard her at all times.
Thinking that Zhou Zhen'er was ashamed to speak, she wanted him to stay here for her for a few more days, and then go on the road when he was well. was so confused that he didn't know the severity, he almost laughed angrily, and reprimanded Zhou Zhen'er fiercely on the spot, almost knocking her out.
Later, he knew that he was wrong, and he begged him to cry and kneel, and he was also involved in his mother.
Only then did he realize that his mother had ordered her to stay, and that she was not allowed to go with him. But not only did she not obey the order, but she cried to him endlessly, and wanted him to openly disobey his mother's order, which was unforgivable, and he almost had her dragged out and cut down, but fortunately she came back to her senses in time and saved her life. It's just that I completely dislike her in my heart, and I can't even look at her anymore.
Actually, in Zhou Zhen'er's opinion, this is not a big deal at all, after all, the marshal has stayed for ten more days for the marriage with Shen Jingfang, so what does it matter if she stays for two more days?
It's a pity that she takes herself too seriously, and she doesn't know Qin Youan at all. She didn't even know that Qin You'an had stayed for so many days, it was already the limit, and she had to do it as a last resort, and now because a concubine was sick, she had to delay for a few days, how could Qin Youan be willing?
Qin Shu was not surprised by this, and just asked, "Will the people of the Zhou family follow him to Hezhou?" "Is Zhou Zhen'er the only one left in Minzhou?
"Yes." Qin Youan said categorically, "Even if they are given a choice between staying and leaving, they will also choose to leave." β
For the Zhou family, in the end, the son is more important than the daughter who marries.
When Qin Shu heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for Zhou Zhen'er.
Her parents and relatives were gone, and she was left alone here, and she must have been very panicked.
At the beginning, Qin Shu just wanted to keep her temporarily, and when she got better, she could still go to join them.
But now, after her such a fuss, I am afraid that she will not be able to go to Hezhou for a year and a half. If You'an can't remember her, she'll probably have to stay here for the rest of her life. This kind of punishment is too difficult for a woman who is in her twentieth year, and it is simply the biggest punishment.
However, Qin Shu will not intercede for her, she should indeed learn a lesson.
She has never been a person who repays grievances with virtue.
Since Zhou Zhen'er is dissatisfied with her, why should she stay in the past?
The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, the colonel's field outside Minzhou City was already full of neat soldiers, ready to go.
In addition, the spacious road next to it is also full of vehicles. There were horse-drawn carriages for families to sit in, and there were also many baggage carts.
Qin Shu did not take a carriage, but planned to ride a horse.
Not only her, but also Cheng Qiuyu and the female students of the Red Lotus Academy, they would also ride horses.
The group led by Qin Shu all wore a red power suit, with weapons around their waists, riding a high-headed horse, with sassy silver and handsome, no matter how you look at it, it is a beautiful landscape.
Everybody noticed them.
Including the ladies who were hiding in the carriage, they were quietly looking at them.
It's just that because of Qin Shu's identity, they don't dare to go too far.
Mrs. Xu sat in the carriage with her two daughters, looked at the situation outside, lowered the curtain, and did not say anything about it.
She's learned enough lessons, but she doesn't want to meddle with things, and the trouble comes out of her mouth.
Even if she can't get used to it, she shouldn't care.
"I heard that Aunt Zhou was left behind?" Mrs. Xu said in a relaxed tone, with a faint joy in her voice. In this way, Jingfang has become a parent, and there is one less person who is an eyesore.
Shen Jingfang sighed with some concern and said, "Yes, Miss Zhou is sick." It's a pity that time is urgent, and I can't visit her. β
She also received the news last night, and she couldn't go to the Marshal's Mansion, and she left early today, didn't she have a chance to see her?
"Alas, I can only blame her for her bad luck. When it's not good to get sick, if she has to get sick at this time, she is afraid that she will not be able to return to Minzhou for a while. Mrs. Xu also sighed, but she didn't know how happy she was.
Looking at Jingfang's eyes softened a little more, even God was on her side! The daughter is newly married, and there is no long-eyed concubine to block her heart. This is providence.
When Shen Jinfang heard the news, she didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
She doesn't have any jealousy or dissatisfaction with Zhou Zhen'er, but she does have a competitive relationship. It stands to reason that she should be happy. But she also owes Zhou Zhen'er a favor, although Zhou Zhen'er didn't come in handy at the beginning, but she can't deny it, and she will inevitably repay this favor in the future.
In the other carriage, Wen and his daughter-in-law Song were frowning and haggard.
Others don't know the real situation, but they know that their daughter (sister-in-law) has offended the marshal, and she has been grounded, and she has obviously been disgusted by the marshal. In the future, I don't know what year and month I will have to wait for?
Wen knew better. She knew what her daughter's attitude towards Mrs. Qin was, and she was afraid that her daughter would be dizzy and do something she shouldn't do, which would provoke Mrs. Qin. Therefore, after she went home that day, she was always worried, and when she saw her daughter, she always had to mention her life, but she didn't expect it to come true in the end.
She couldn't open her mouth to intercede for her daughter at all, she couldn't open her mouth, maybe she would even affect the Zhou family because of this.
Now, I can only wait for the marshal to lose his breath and find a way to exonerate Zhen'er.
Just as Qin Shu and his party left Minzhou, Qi Wu and his party also returned to their own territory.
Although the imperial army has already targeted them, due to their huge power, the imperial army does not dare to act rashly, so they have not really fought yet, and they are still in the tentative stage.
This time, the imperial court sent a general named Hu Tianyi, who was also born in a family of military generals, and he was not good at fighting, not as crazy and ruthless as Zhu Cuo, but his ability was not worse than him, not to mention, he was very rational and self-controlled, and he knew how to listen to other people's opinions, so it was extremely difficult to deal with.
It was at this time that Qi Wu returned.
At this time, Song Liangxiu had successfully subdued Yu Yuanwu's forces, and his prestige was high.
It didn't take much effort to subdue Yu Yuanwu's forces, and it could even be said to be unusually smooth, because Yu Yuanwu's newly married wife He betrayed him, and Yu Yuanwu was captured and died, and He took Yu Yuanwu's remnants of Yu Yuanwu's forces to Song Liangxiu and quickly occupied a place in the Shuaifu.
