"Joke, I still owe you something from the Anqing Marquis Mansion." Cao Shouyi really can't think of it, not pretending. In his heart, this woman is a fart, and she has nothing to do with their Hou Mansion.
But Magu remembered it vividly, gritted her teeth and said: "You know in your own heart whether Mrs. Shizi is really pregnant or fake, but you just want to find a substitute for the ghost, why implicate me, an innocent person......" This case, I don't think I need to go into detail, Cao Shouyi has already remembered. Due to the identity of the other party's son, Magu's voice was still very small when she said this, and only she and Cao Shouyi could hear it clearly.
Cao Shouyi was stunned, how did she know that his wife was fake pregnant? Of course, Cao Shouyi remembered that Magu was the substitute ghost in that change, and their real purpose was Mrs. Anqinghou, but only dealing with a Mrs. Anqinghou needed to have a reason, so Magu happened to be sent to the door, and it became their target.
Now that he is the prince of the Hou Mansion, Cao Shouyi doesn't want to mention this matter again, "Okay, what qualifications do you have to talk nonsense with this prince." ”
Seeing Cao Shouyi's eagerness to cover up, Magu smiled secretly in her heart: Look, I guessed it.
She didn't say this to get anything, she just wanted the Marquis of Anqing to know, she knew about their tricks early on, but she didn't expose it.
"The women don't have the leisure and elegance to take care of other people's affairs." Magu straightened up. took a few steps back, and said solemnly: "Lord Shizi, please leave a way to live." Leave the tree of tears to the women of the people. "Magu arched her hand, like a person from the rivers and lakes," as long as the women shed tears. Again, she made her purpose clear to the other party.
Cao Shouyi didn't buy it at all, waved his hand, and spit out two words heavily, "Don't think!" ”
Magu frowned, she was both soft and hard. As a result, this Cao Shouyi did not enter oil and salt.
"What should I do?"
"That's good."
Magu heard the anxious chattering of the villagers behind her.
She can't let the villagers down, she must do this. Not for the sake of others, but for the sake of these villagers, and for the beneficiaries of her other plans.
Other plans are just plans. But Magu is very confident in herself.
"It's not up to you Anqing Marquis Mansion to have the final say." Magu also said sharply. She is also a person who has seen the emperor, and she has also seen the world, how can she be bluffed by a mere prince.
She wants to fight for this benefit for herself and for everyone, "Lord Shizi, you can't be too greedy, isn't it enough to give you such a large forest?" Do you have to keep it all for yourself? ”
Zhang Qisheng and the others stood aside, although they were shouting for Magu in their hearts, but they were not qualified. I don't have the guts to argue with the Anqing Hou Mansion. Hearing Magu's words, I saw Cao Shouyi's face red and white. I really sweated for Magu in my heart.
"Lord Shizi, what are you doing in the Marquis of Anqing Mansion with the imperial court to open up these forests? What is the purpose of these trees cut down by the Marquis of Anqing, these things...... Does the emperor know? Magu slammed Cao Shouyi's heart.
Cao Shouyi froze when he heard the whole person, "You, you ......"
Cao Shouyi didn't say anything next. But from his shocked, frightened expression. Magu had already guessed that Cao Shouyi must have wanted to ask, how did you know.
"Look for death!" Cao Shouyi looked like he wanted to kill someone and kill him, so he pulled out the arrow in his hand and slowly raised it.
"Second sister-in-law, be careful." Hu Caiyu was shocked and hurriedly reminded.
Zhang Qisheng and the others gasped, is this the Marquis of Anqing want to kill people? …
At this critical moment, another team of horses came this way. Listening to the sound of horses' hooves and splashing, it seems that there are many people.
Cao Shouyi paused the movement in his hand and turned to look.
Because the area they are now in is located at the exit of the forest, Magu Ben is here to check the situation of the juice harvesting in Pinghu Village. As soon as he walked to the entrance of the forest, he ran into Cao Sanliang.
When the dust cleared, Cao Shouyi inserted the arrow back into the scabbard, knelt down and saluted: "The minister sees the prince, see the king of Qin." ”
Everyone knelt down and saluted, and Magu not only saw the prince and the second prince, but also saw Hu Acai behind the prince.
Why did the crown prince and the second prince come here?
"Everybody got up and talked." The prince commanded.
After everyone got up, they all stood quietly and hung their heads to the side, not even daring to raise their heads.
The crown prince and the second prince did not get off the horse, and Magu and they looked up and replied.
"Prince, the Marquis of Anqing's Mansion is too deceitful, please be the master of the people's wife." Hu Acai came with the crown prince, and he must have come to save her.
Although Magu didn't know how Hu Acai knew that she would have an accident today, she could see from Hu Acai's eyes that he was here to save her. With him, Magu is fearless.
After what happened last time, Magu faced the second prince again, and her heart was much calmer, they were destined to become enemies, and since they were doomed, she would no longer be moved by fear.
"Oh? Tell me what happened. The prince said.
At this time, Cao Shouyi seemed a little uncalm, but under the gesture of the second prince's eyes, he calmed down. The silent interaction between them was quietly watched by Du Magu.
"Yes. Most of this forest is owned by the Anqing Marquis Mansion, and the women just want a small piece of tear trees, and they even want to drive away the women and others, which is really too deceitful, and they don't give the women and others a way to live......."
"Aren't you busy delivering babies, what do you want these trees to do?" Cao Shouyi didn't wait for Magu to finish speaking, and stopped her.
"Then the Marquis of Anqing Mansion is also busy doing things for the imperial court, what do you want these trees to do?" Magu calmly asked Cao Shouyi.
Cao Shouyi was asked, and he couldn't answer for a long time.
"Yes, what do you Anqing Marquis Mansion want this forest for?" The prince asked sharply.
Cao Shouyi glanced at the second prince. He replied: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this forest is not something that my Anqing Marquis Mansion wants to occupy, but the minister has a cousin. He had nothing to do all day, and when his father saw that he was interested in trees, he allowed him to come to the forest to beg for some life. ”
With such a lie full of loopholes, who would believe it?
"In that case, how about the prince give this forest to the Marquis of Anqing?" The second prince smiled on the side and became a peacemaker, "And those tearing trees will be rewarded to Magu." ”
Magu glanced at the second prince, and always liked to stand up and be a good person.
"Good. Just do according to the wishes of King Qin, and all the tear trees will belong to Magu in the future. None of you are allowed to trouble her. The crown prince gave the final order.
Cao Shouyi only needs to respond to Nuonuo, "Yes." ”
"Thank you, Prince." Magu knelt down to thank him, and Zhang Qisheng also led the villagers of Pinghu Village to kneel down and thank him.
Magu only thanked the prince, and didn't mention the second prince. The second prince frowned. Eyes squinted slightly.
A smile bloomed on Hu Acai's face behind the crown prince, Magu didn't look at the second prince much today, even if she looked at the second prince, her eyes were not as shining as when she saw the second prince in the past. Could it be that it was because they quarreled over the second prince last time, and Magu finally gave up the second prince and chose him?
Thinking of this, Hu Acai was indescribably happy in his heart, and his eyes when he looked at Magu became even more tender.
"Get up." The prince got out of the carriage as he spoke. The others also got out of the carriage, "Magu, what can the sap of this tear tree be used for?" ”…
The prince was also very curious. Hearing that the sap of the tear tree could come in handy, he followed Hu Acai to take a look, "This is the sap taken out?" ”
A regular curved opening was cut in the tree, through which the sap flowed slowly into a bowl-shaped container.
"It's wonderful, it's wonderful." The prince praised repeatedly. It was the first time he had seen such a novelty. "If any of you dare to come and fight these tears tree idea, you will be against the Imperial Palace." His words were addressed to the Marquis of Anqing and the second prince.
He's not just protecting the Tree of Tears. is also protecting Magu.
"Whoa." Cao Shouyi and others responded with their heads.
The second prince's eyes were staring at Magu, and the anger in his eyes Magu had already felt it, and when he looked at him, Magu couldn't help but shudder. The second prince is telling her with his eyes, and he can't protect her even if he has the prince as a guarantor.
Magu smiled, then turned her face away and stopped looking at him.
In the eyes of the second prince, this smile is so hypocritical and so contrived.
The crown prince visited for a while before he was about to leave, "Is the imperial brother going back?" He turned around and glanced at the second prince, "Our brothers haven't been drinking and chatting together for a long time, let's go, since we met today, why don't we go to the prince's palace for a drink?" ”
"It's better to be respectful than to obey your orders." The second prince replied.
The prince smiled and patted him on the shoulder, then turned to Hu Acai and smiled: "You have worked hard these days, go home and rest for three days before returning to the prince's palace." ”
"Thank you, Prince." Hu Acai hurriedly thanked. He hadn't been with his family for a long time.
The crown prince and the second prince rode away, and Cao Shouyi also took Cao Sanliang away.
"Second brother, it's really dangerous." Hu Caiyu wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Caiyu, it's okay." Hu Acai comforted her.
"Zhang Lizheng, you can collect juice with peace of mind in the future, and you don't have to be afraid of Cao Sanliang and them." Magu made some orders to Zhang Qisheng and them, and then left the forest with Hu Acai and returned home.
Back home, Magu served Hu Acai to freshen up.
"It's still comfortable at home." Hu Acai washed his face and handed the handkerchief to Magu.
Chunxi, who was waiting on the side, turned out the handkerchief in Magu's hand, and went out with a basin.
"Of course, the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as their own kennels."
After listening to Magu's words, Hu Acai sneered, and Magu also laughed.
The hearty laughter of the two people spread out of the house and into the courtyard.
"Mother-in-law, they were arguing a few days ago, why did they reconcile today." The sister-in-law looked puzzled and glanced at their room.
"Husband and wife quarrel at the head of the bed and, what's so strange about it. Didn't you and Ngawang still quarrel all day long? Speaking of her eldest son, Ah Cai Niang frowned, "You don't care about your own man, what do you do all day long in the hearts of others." ”
The sister-in-law was bored, so she answered and went back to the house to go to Shuiliu Village to see Hu Awang.
