Liu's worries are not unnecessary.

Knowing that An Ruoxian was slapped and confined, Zhao Qing was furious, and under Xue Da's persuasion, he didn't send someone to assassinate An Ruolan, but he made up his mind to go to the Wenxin Marquis Mansion.

Xue Da did not approve of Zhao Qing's approach, but Zhao Qing insisted on going his own way, and Xue Da had no choice but to tell King Gong about it.

King Gong was both helpless and disappointed, and said angrily: "It's not like words! For the sake of a woman, or a good-for-nothing woman, he even forgot his identity, and let him continue to make trouble, what face does Prince Gong's Mansion have at all?! ”

His eyes showed a cold light, "I thought he was greedy for a moment of freshness, but now it seems that that the maid is a scourge, and she can't be left behind." ”

Xue Da's heart jumped, knowing that he had murderous intent.

After a pause, Xue Dadao: "Lord Wang, in the eyes of the villain, this concubine can't move for the time being." ”

King Gong's eyes narrowed slightly, "What?" You're going to intercede for your niece? ”

He likes ambitious people, but he doesn't like people who are too ambitious, if Xue Da is planning to use his niece to control his Qing'er, even if Xue Da has some ability, he will not keep him anymore.

After following King Gong for so many years, how could Xue Da not guess his thoughts, and was busy arching his loyalty: "The prince is aware of it, and his subordinates are just worried that the prince will have a dislike with the prince because of this, which will affect the father-son relationship between the prince and the prince!" ”

"It's better to be like this." King Gong withdrew his cold gaze and sat down behind the bookcase with his hands behind his back.

Xue Da secretly wiped a cold sweat, and continued: "The subordinates think that the main thing is that the prince has not yet gotten what he wants. It is to always care about the concubine, and in the opinion of his subordinates, he should do his best to bring the concubine into the palace. In this way, the prince can assist the prince without distraction, and we can also control the concubine and prevent her from causing trouble for the prince. ”

King Gong nodded silently, feeling that this was very reasonable. Women, it's always good before you get it, but after you get it, your interest will be greatly reduced, not to mention that she is still such a woman with no connotation.

The only son actually looked at a person who was not the best. A woman with no talent and no virtue, how does King Gong think about how to respond in his heart, but there is no way. He is such a son, and he is reluctant to criticize him for such a trivial matter. Fortunately, Qing'er has not been completely confused, and he can still listen to his words, otherwise he would not let go of the concubine of the An family.

"Hmph. Enchantress. I want to see what you have to charm my son Zhao Rui. ”

King Gong snorted disdainfully, then changed his words and instructed Xue Da: "Tomorrow, you will go to the Wenxin Marquis Mansion with the prince, remember, be polite, especially not to offend the county lord of Chenshuang." ”

There was a pause, as if he was holding back his disgust. He continued: "By the way, bring that concubine back to the palace, so that she can save her from having trouble again." At this point, he snorted again.

Xue Da low should be. I feel sorry in my heart.

Although he didn't have the idea of using his niece to control the prince, he had the idea of using his niece to climb up - as long as the prince's plan succeeded, the prince would undoubtedly be the prince in the future, and as long as the niece was a little smarter, it would undoubtedly bring countless benefits to the Xue family.

As for whether her niece is willing to seek the well-being of the Xue family at that time, she can't help it, is it possible that at that time, she can rely on others besides the Xue family?

It's just that judging from the prince's current attitude, even if his niece enters the palace, she will not have a big future, and she may only be a concubine for the rest of her life. With the respect of the prince to the prince, as long as the prince says a word, even if the prince becomes the prince in the future, he will never raise his niece as a side concubine. What's more, the prince will directly erase the niece's sustenance.

If you want to blame only your niece, she can't be on the stage, that is, he heard that his niece did things in the Hou Mansion, and he didn't look down on them, let alone the prince. If you want him to say that the prince is really blinded by lard, he will fall in love with his cold, ruthless, arrogant and selfish niece.

Xue Da regretted not mentioning much.

Early the next morning, Zhao Qing reluctantly took Xue Da to visit the Marquis of Wenxin's mansion, saying that the visit was good, and when he saw his domineering posture, he knew that he was here to settle accounts.

The ladies in the backyard had just had breakfast, and they all gathered in the old lady's yard, and An Ruolan rarely went back to her parents' house, and everyone wanted to talk to her more.

A room of people talking and laughing is fun, and the next person comes to report, and the prince of Daogong comes to visit.

In an instant, the atmosphere became solemn and dreary.

Everyone guessed why Prince Gong came.

They didn't want the Hou Mansion's every move to escape the eyes and ears of Prince Gong's Mansion, but this inevitably came too quickly.

Murong looked at the old lady and held An Ruolan's hand worriedly.

The old lady gave everyone a reassuring look, and said to the messenger: "You go and ask the chief manager to reply, just say that the masters and young masters are not there, and it is inconvenient to greet the prince, please come and sit next time." ”

The maid who passed the message hesitated, and after a while, she said: "The prince said that he didn't come for other things, but he came to ask the old lady for peace, and he also wanted to meet Miss Ten......"

Everyone in the house knows that Miss Ten was beaten by the sixth aunt and grandmother, and now that Prince Gong wants to see someone, how dare the Hou Mansion call someone out for him to see? Although everyone thinks that Miss Ten deserves it, they can't stand her backing.

The old lady's eyes sank, Gong Wang Shizi said so bluntly, it was clear that she was here to vent her anger for An Ruoxian, and it was not good for them to hide it again.

An Ruolan got up and smiled calmly: "Grandmother, why don't you see Prince Gong, if you have anything to say, you can say it to your face." ”

The old lady glanced at her guiltily, couldn't help but sigh, and then her expression was solemn, and she said, "Let the chief manager entertain her first, and I'll go over." ”

Murong stood up and said, "Mother, daughter-in-law will ...... with you"

"No need." The old lady interrupted her words, and was about to ask her to take An Ruolan to the back of the Buddha Hall to take refuge, An Ruolan intercepted the conversation and said, "Mother don't worry, with me accompanying my grandmother, it will be fine." ”

"You!" The old lady raised her eyebrows and glared disapprovingly.

An Ruolan grinned and patted her arm, and said, "Prince Gong is obviously coming for me, if I hide from me, I won't come forward." He will not give up, one person does things and one person is responsible, how can I hide my head and shrink my tail? ”

"I can't tell you!" The old lady snorted in exasperation. But I couldn't take her.

The old lady still took An Ruolan with her in the end.

Zhao Qing waited for a cup of tea in the front hall, and just when his patience was about to run out, An Ruolan helped the old lady to come over without hurrying.

Seeing An Ruolan, Zhao Qing was a little surprised, he thought that An Ruolan would hide and dare not come out, but he didn't want her to be bolder than he thought. There was a little more praise in his eyes, but he didn't intend to let her go lightly.

An Ruolan has more than once bowed Ruoxian's face in public. This means not giving him face.

After seeing the ceremony, the guest and the host sat down.

Although Zhao Qing's personality is obedient, he is not reckless. He first greeted the old lady's body, went around in a circle, and then pretended to be unaware of An Ruoxian, and said, "Don't hide it from the old lady." I'm here today to see Ruoxian. I wonder where she is now? ”

The old lady accompanied her with a lot of gossip, and her heart had been hanging, and now that she turned to the topic, her face couldn't help but change. Just as she was about to speak, An Ruolan pressed the back of her hand, looked at Zhao Qing and said with a smile: "It's unfortunate that the prince came, Ruoxian is inconvenient to come out to see you now." ”

"Oh? Why is that? Zhao Qing pretended to be surprised, and his eyes were a little colder.

He wanted to see what An Ruolan could say. If she was too rampant, he wouldn't mind teaching her a lesson.

Sensing the cruelty that flashed in his eyes. Xue Da coughed twice on the side, leaned over and said in his ear: "Please don't forget the advice of the prince." ”

Zhao Qing frowned slightly, in the end, he eased his feelings a little.

The old lady shook An Ruolan's hand worriedly, and An Ruolan gave her a reassuring look.

Looking up at Zhao Qing's eyes, An Ruolan was not frightened by the yin owl in his eyes, and said calmly: "Although the ugliness of the family cannot be publicized, but the prince asked about it, and I can't hide it anymore." Don't hide it from the prince, yesterday Ruoxian insulted and beat her mother-in-law in public, was punished with a palm, and now she is reflecting in the confinement room, because it is inconvenient to come out to meet guests. ”

Zhao Qing's hand on the coffee table clenched suddenly.

He didn't expect An Ruolan to dare to hide it without concealment, is this provoking him?!

Zhao Qing took a serious look at the woman in front of him for the first time, as the rumors said, the county lord of Chenshuang is not dignified and virtuous, and there is no lack of arrogance and courage, such a woman is indeed rare, and it is no wonder that even her father praises her and wants such a daughter.

But it was enough for the father to have one child with him!

The cold light in his eyes jumped, the green tendons on the back of Zhao Qing's hand jumped, his tone was still flat, and said: "I heard that the fifth lady of the Hou Mansion was delirious, and I don't know if she did anything to annoy Ruoxian, so Ruoxian had to fight back?" ”

Hearing this, An Ruolan smiled, and the old lady frowned unhappily.

patting the old lady who wanted to open her mouth to refute soothingly, An Ruolan asked rhetorically: "What does the prince mean that if the parents are at fault first, the children can wantonly beat and humiliate them?" Dare to ask the prince has ever heard the phrase 'the son does not say anything about the father, and the son does not dislike the mother ugly'? ”

Zhao Qing's face darkened, and Xue Da hurriedly explained: "The county lord said that he laughed, the prince of the world is ancient and modern, how can he not know this truth, the county lord may have misunderstood the words of the prince, the prince is not saying that children can beat and scold their parents, but suspects that the fifth lady is delirious, and it is possible to force Miss An Shi to do something to her." ”

"That's exactly what this son means." Zhao Qing snorted coldly.

An Ruolan reversed the gentleness and kindness just now, suddenly sank his face, and said: "The prince can doubt the eyes of my Hou Mansion, and you can also doubt my mouth, but please don't slander a poor woman who doesn't know the world and is only a young child, is it possible that the prince will ask people to beat and scold herself when she is young?!" ”

"......" Zhao Qing and Xue Da were speechless when asked.

An Ruolan said again: "The fifth aunt has always regarded Ruoxian as her own, can the prince know why the fifth aunt was beaten and scolded by Ruoxian that day?" Although the fifth aunt is delirious and crazy, she still loves Ruoxian, she sees Ruoxian sad and wants to comfort her, but she doesn't want Ruoxian to vent all her grievances on her, so does the prince still think that the fifth aunt is at fault first? If you don't believe it, you can ask the servants and maids who were present that day, see if my An Ruolan is half untrue! ”

Her chest rose and fell as she spoke fiercely.

Questioning sentence by sentence, Zhao Qing was annoyed at the same time, but he couldn't raise his head.

Xue Da was drenched in cold sweat, and he didn't dare to quibble anymore, so he arched his hand and said: "It's a gaffe, and I ask the county lord to forgive me, and the prince definitely doesn't mean to insult Mrs. An." ”

He had to sigh, this Chenshuang County Lord is really amazing, and now he dares to speak so bluntly in front of the prince, I am afraid that there is only one prince in this world. But she is such a little woman, but she also has such courage, which makes people have to look high.

Zhao Qing's fingers loosened and clenched, and it took a long time before he spit out a sentence: "It's me who lost his words, but even if Ruoxian is at fault, can't he just spare her for the sake of the face of this world?" ”

An Ruolan only replied to him with one sentence: "If the prince is treated like this, will the prince forgive him lightly?" ”

The old lady also said: "Ruolan has already been punished very lightly, you must know that according to the family rules of the Hou Mansion of Wenxin, those who are disrespectful to their parents will be punished with a cane for twenty at the lightest, and those who are serious will be driven out of the Hou Mansion directly." ”

The implication is that it has given you a lot of face for Prince Gong.

"......" Zhao Qing was blocked again and couldn't say a word.

He remembered that An Ruolan was An Meng's biological daughter.

If someone really just disrespects his father, let alone just slap his mouth and confine, he will directly dismantle that person!

He suddenly understood An Ruolan's mood, and originally came with anger, but now he has a lot of praise for An Ruolan.

Anyone in Shengjing did not know that An Meng's concubine was placed in front of his concubine, so it seems that Ruoxian should not do anything to An Meng's no matter what he did. On the other hand, An Ruolan is really a filial person who values love and righteousness.

Zhao Qing has always admired filial people.

The reason why he was close to Ruoxian at the beginning was also because of her filial piety to An Meng.

It's just that now it seems like she's become too much.

But it doesn't matter, his feelings for her won't change.

After the anger in his heart completely subsided, Zhao Qinghui became an elegant and gentle noble son, and said apologetically: "I don't know the cause, I am offended when I speak, and I hope that the old lady and the county lord will take care of it." ”

"The prince is serious." The old lady and An Ruolan bowed their heads slightly.

Zhao Qing glanced at An Ruolan appreciatively and said, "The Lord of Chenshuang County is worthy of his name, and he has been taught today. ”

"The prince has won the award." An Ruolan is neither humble nor arrogant.

Xue Da secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and arched his hand: "Actually, I came here today, and I was instructed by the prince to take Miss An Shi into the palace. ”

Zhao Qing was taken aback, "Why didn't I know about this?!" I'm not ready to hire ......"

Xue Da had the courage to interrupt him and said, "The prince is also thinking about the prince, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”

A single sentence that the prince is good for you successfully stopped Zhao Qing's words, but he still valued An Ruoxian in his heart, and struggled: "But just welcome Ruoxian into the door like this, isn't it ......?"

"Lord Shizi, the pomp is for outsiders to see, as long as you are good to Miss An Shi, it is enough, and the subordinates want Mrs. An and the county lord to understand." Xue Da is not good to say too straightforwardly, just a concubine, what do you pay attention to so much?

Although Zhao Qing was safe, he thought that it was his father's order, so he didn't say anything more. (To be continued......)
