Chapter 177: Private Affair

"Father, don't worry, my daughter understands, and my daughter will never get involved in royal affairs." Hearing Qu Miaoling's answer, Wu Dehou was relieved, but he was still worried that his daughter would not go to His Royal Highness the prince, he believed it, but what if the second prince came to find his daughter again? Their Hou Mansion didn't want to be a victim of the struggle for palace power.

Wu Dehou's brows became tighter and tighter, the corners of his mouth became tighter and tighter, and even his eyes shot out some indescribable light.

Before leaving, Wu Dehou couldn't help but tell again, "You must remember what you said to your father today, and remember to stay away from His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Father, don't worry, daughter must remember it firmly." Wu Dehou left satisfied.

As soon as Wu Dehou left, someone came to the old lady's Buddhist courtyard, and she was still the old lady's most trusted grandmother.

"Miss, the old lady called you over, saying that there was something to discuss."

Qu Miaoling originally planned to talk to the old lady about something, so she followed.

When she came to the Buddhist temple, Qu Miaoling pushed the door and went in, and the old lady had already changed her clothes, as if she was about to sleep.

"Grandmother, I'm so anxious to find Miao Ling, but what's the matter?"

The old lady didn't hide it and said directly: "Do you have a personal relationship with His Royal Highness the Second Prince?" Otherwise, why would he look for you as soon as he came to the Hou Mansion? ”

The old lady's guess was completely reasonable, in the afternoon, the old lady received the news that Qu Miaoling sent Situ Huaibo to the study, and then left, at that time the old lady beat the drum in her heart, on the one hand, she didn't want her granddaughter to marry into the palace, and on the other hand, she was afraid that her granddaughter had already liked the boss Tu Huaibo, so how should she break up the two?

After receiving her granddaughter's affirmative answer, the old lady felt a little more relieved.

But the alarm bell that should be ringed still has to be ringed, the old lady continued, "Miao Ling, you have to remember clearly, this marriage event must not be a child's play, although you have a noble status, but there are still many families in this capital and men are worthy of you, but don't be dazzled, marry into the Longtan Tiger Snow." ”

"Grandmother, don't worry, your granddaughter knows."

Qu Miaoling comforted her several words in a row, and the old lady barely put her mind at ease.

"Grandmother, granddaughter also has something to say to you. Hasn't the granddaughter been busy with the second uncle's affairs all these days? I found out that the matter of the second uncle seems to be related to Situ Huaibo, maybe this matter is Situ Huaibo's obstruction and framing the second uncle. ”

The old lady was so surprised that she didn't know why.

She thought about it carefully, Wudehou Mansion has never had a grudge with the royal family, if there is a grudge, it is also Wudehou and the emperor, what does this have to do with Situ Huaibo? He doesn't need to target the Qu family!

The old lady couldn't figure it out.

"Miao Ling, this is impossible!"

The old lady didn't believe that Qu Miaoling had actually expected it a long time ago. But who allowed himself to be born again? She can see many things clearly, and these people are kept in the dark and naturally can't see it really.

"Grandmother, listen to your granddaughter tell you slowly." Helping the old lady to sit down, Qu Miaoling continued: "Grandmother, here's the thing. Situ Huaibo has always had the heart to ascend to the throne, but there are not many people who support him, of course he is in a hurry, and the Hou Mansion can speak in front of the emperor because of my existence, plus I still have the protection of my grandfather, he wants to pull our Hou Mansion over even more, in this way, he is not one but three, including our mansion, Duanwang Mansion and Jingkang Hou Mansion. ”

The old lady is not a fool, listening to Qu Miaoling so little, she also understands, doesn't she?

It was Situ Huaibo's move that won over the three families, even if their family has no power, but what about the other two? They are all powerful families.

Situ Huaibo's move is a steady profit, which shows how clever and deep his mind is.

The old lady couldn't help but look at Situ Huaibo with admiration, this man was not very old, but he had a lot of eyes, and he almost wrapped up her old woman.

Fortunately, her granddaughter cleverly saw through Situ Huaibo's true face, so he had no chance to succeed.

The old lady was thinking about it, so she reached out and put Qu Miaoling's hand in her palm.

The right hand patted the old lady on the back of Qu Miaoling's left hand and said, "Miaoling, if there is no you in this Hou Mansion, I really don't know what to do?" ”

"Grandmother, you're out of here, we're a family, how can we talk two words"

Qu Miaoling's words were ironed, and the old lady who listened to it felt very comfortable.

In fact, Qu Miaoling made such a guess not only because of the memory of her previous life, Situ Huaibo suddenly visited today, as if she had no intention but actually intentionally stopped herself from talking to herself, she felt that something was wrong from the beginning, plus Situ Huaibo and Wu Dehou had been talking secretly in the study for so long, who knows what the two of them said? Wu Dehou also went to his courtyard tonight to keep herself away from Situ Huaibo, which made her even more sure that there must be a doorway here.

She is also not afraid of guessing wrong, because the possibility of this is very small.

Now she can almost conclude that Situ Huaibo must not be well-intentioned.

After talking about business, the old lady wanted to inquire about Qu Miaoling's marriage again.

"Miao Ling, do you have any ideas about your own marriage event, seeing that you are not small, after a while, it will be the day when you are in time, it is time to talk about a family matter. Otherwise, you will become an old girl, who wants you? The old lady said this in a ridiculous tone, Qu Miaoling didn't feel the feeling of urging marriage, but she felt that the old lady was really different from before.

In the past, she was still a little cold to herself, even if she smiled gently, there was still a sense of alienation hidden in it, but now when she talks to herself, she is full of care and care.

"Grandmother, don't worry, don't worry about your granddaughter's family affairs, your granddaughter's appearance and family background, are you afraid that you won't be able to find a wishful husband?"

Li'er is such a reason, but when the old lady listens to it, she always feels that it is not that taste.

She always felt that Qu Miaoling was deliberately evading, but she didn't know what she was hiding.

It's as if she was emotionally hurt, but as far as she knows, Miao Ling has been staying in the countryside before, and she has no chance of contact with men, even if she does, it's only with those leather boys in Jingkanghou's mansion.

The old lady was even more surprised when she thought about it simply.

Now the thoughts of these daughters' families, she is becoming more and more unintelligible.

The old lady couldn't help but sigh and looked at Qu Miaoling and couldn't help laughing, "Grandmother, okay, it's getting late, you can rest early." ”

Leaving the old lady's courtyard, Qu Miaoling had been thoughtful.

She can't guess what Wu Dehou thinks now, did he agree to Situ Huaibo's conditions or refuse?

If she couldn't figure it out, she simply didn't want to.

When she returned to her yard, she slept well, and when she got up the next day, she left the Hou Mansion again after breakfast.

The destination is the county king's mansion of Situ Huaidu.

It happened that Situ Huaiju was also there today, and she was welcomed in and went straight to the other party's study.

When she came today, she didn't forget to bring the gifts she prepared for the other party, and she stayed up for several nights to make every stitch and thread, all of which were her hard work.

As soon as he saw Qu Miaoling, Situ Huai was naturally overjoyed, he couldn't help but stand up and walked up to Qu Miaoling and said, "Miaoling, you're finally here!" ”

It's like lovers who are separated from each other, and they finally meet, and they feel like they are parting from life and death.

Qu Miaoling couldn't cry or laugh, is this still the god of war she knows? Why does she always feel that the other party is like a little baby, and she needs to be coaxed every day.

But this feeling made her feel good.

Qu Miaoling felt that she might be crazy.

"Okay, okay, I brought you a present, don't want to see it?" Qu Miaoling took out her greatest patience and coaxed.

And gifts?

Situ Huaidu's heart crossed a line of big question marks, but then there was a series of exclamation marks.

Qu Miaoling took out a sachet from his arms, embroidered it with a pattern of Tilian, and it was extremely delicate at first glance, Situ Huai decided to look at it, and he liked it, and put it in the palm of his hand to play carefully, as if he was afraid of getting it dirty.

Or did Qu Miaoling say first: "I'll help you hang it on your waist?" ”

Situ Huai decided not to agree, and nodded frantically.

This stupid action fell in Qu Miaoling's eyes, and she felt that the man in front of her seemed to be stupid.

Why did the more she looked at it, the more she felt that she was different from the person in her previous life?

But immediately, this idea of hers was dispelled.

"Miao Ling, your craftsmanship is really good." After being happy enough, Situ Huai remembered that he hadn't thanked the person in front of him yet.

If the purse she gave herself earlier made him happy, then this sachet she embroidered by herself completely made Situ Huai feel comfortable to the heart.

After the death of his mother, no one embroidered such intimate things for him anymore.

But today the girl embroidered herself a beautiful sachet, and the pattern on it already represented everything.

What he can reciprocate to the other person is a deeper love.

Situ Huai couldn't hold back any longer, and began today's affectionate confession: "Miao Ling, I want to marry you as my concubine!" ”

Back at the Hou Mansion, Qu Miaoling was still in a daze, and Situ Huaidu's confession echoed in her ears, but how did she answer at the time? Qu Miaoling almost forgot.

Did she agree or refuse?

Now her mind is in a mess, and she can't think of anything.

It took a long time for her to vaguely remember that she seemed to have refused at that time.

The reason used is extremely unscrupulous.

"I still have things to do, and when I'm done, I'll give you an answer."

Qu Miaoling couldn't help but hide herself in the quilt, she felt more and more that her answer seemed to be too perfunctory, and she didn't know what Situ Huai would think.

What she didn't know was that after she blushed and fled from the county king's mansion, Situ Huaiju suddenly laughed, "It's so cute, she was shy just now!" Situ Huai definitely thought so.

Qu Miaoling didn't sleep all night this night, she kept thinking, what would Situ Huai think after she left? Disappointment, loss, discomfort, or being able to understand yourself?

The more Qu Miaoling thought about it, the more upset she felt in her heart, no, she had to go and make it clear to Situ Huai that she didn't mean that yesterday.

As a result, before she had time to go to Situ Huaidu, the other party came over.

"Miao Ling, did you forget this?"

Yesterday, Qu Miaoling fled in a hurry, and the handkerchief she embroidered was thrown in the county king's mansion.

Today, Situ Huai decided to come and send such a small handkerchief.

The moment the two looked at each other, Qu Miaoling knew that he was not angry.

The tense heart was immediately relieved, and the heartbeat was much faster.

Wen Shi was as happy as if he was visiting Situ Huaiju.

That day, Situ Huaibo came and asked Qu Miaoling to accompany her, she tried her best to let Wen Qingqian go over to join in the fun, but Wen Qingqian actually pushed back, she couldn't help but complain a little about Wen Qingqian, didn't seize the opportunity, and let Qu Miaoling get cheap in vain.

Situ Huai is also here today, but Wen Qingqian is not here, no matter how much she jumps, it is meaningless.

Hearing that the next person said that she was coming, she just hummed coldly, and continued to do her own thing, anyway, the matter of entertaining guests was handled by Wu Dehou.

Besides, she is not the housewife now, so it is better for such a level of guests to be entertained by Qu Miaoling, the head of the family.

Doesn't she like to show off in front of men? Then let her go, she wants to see if she has the ability to hold the two princes in the palm of her hand.

Wen snorted coldly and continued to drink tea.

As Wen guessed, Wu Dehou heard that Situ Huai was coming and hurried back, but he was still a step too slow, and when he arrived, Situ Huai had already left.

Wu Dehou wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and secretly cursed in his mouth.
