Chapter 122: Acting
"Master Hou, the concubine body, you are dedicated to taking care of the county lord's dowry, even in Ganzhou, the concubine body has sent people to keep an eye on it, for fear that something will go wrong, but Miao Ling she, she is ...... Master Hou, the concubine's hard work is a mistake! ”
Wen Shi was uncomfortable, and his voice was choked.
Qu Miaoling watched her perform coldly, and couldn't help but sigh: "Mother, can't you tell the truth?"
Just one sentence shatters the illusion that Wen can create.
Qu Miaoling approached and took the truth seriously.
"Father, don't you know that the manager of the Zhuangzi in Ganzhou is a bastard."
Listening to Qu Miaoling give such a definition to the steward, Wu Dehou also knew that there must be an article in it, so he asked Qu Miaoling to continue.
"When my daughter first arrived in Ganzhou, she was not familiar with the place, so she first went to visit the second uncle's house, and her daughter learned from their mouths that the horse steward of Zhuangzi was a scourge, and it stands to reason that the second uncle was also a person from the Hou Mansion, and Zhuangzi should give some gifts to the second uncle every year, no matter how bad it was, he should visit the door, but as far as the daughter knows, the horse steward did not do it once."
Qu Ting is his own younger brother, and he gave up the position of Hou Ye to himself, Qu Fu still has some brotherly affection for him in his heart.
Hearing this, he was a little angry, "Bold minion! ”
"Father, that's not all!"
Wu Dehou was even angrier, and he angrily asked Qu Miaoling to continue.
"I'd like to see what else these wicked slaves can do! You go on! ”
Qu Miaoling glanced at Wen's family, which did not contain a trace of expression, but it made Wen's back cold.
"My daughter left the second uncle's mansion and went straight to Zhuangzi, after all, it is the place where my mother stayed before her death, and my daughter wants to go and see it."
Qu Miaoling was filled with righteous indignation as she spoke, she glanced at Wu Dehou's bad demeanor, and then looked at Wen's embarrassed expression of wanting to open his mouth without opening his mouth.
She didn't smile, and said with a serious expression: "Father, after the daughter arrived, the horse steward not only did not come out to greet her, but also took his subordinates out with sticks to drive her daughter, if it weren't for the guards you sent to your daughter, it is estimated that the daughter would not even be able to enter the door of Zhuangzi." ”
"So how are you, aren't you hurt?" Wu Dehou suddenly said worriedly.
"Of course the daughter is fine, the person assigned by the father is strong in martial arts, and the daughter has not been harmed in the slightest." Qu Miaoling replied.
Wu Dehou heard that his daughter was not injured, and the anger under the pressure in his chest and abdomen erupted.
"Wen, Miao Ling was almost injured, you are still arguing with her, what is the intention, I remembered, I almost listened to your slander at that time, and I didn't match Miao Ling!" Wen didn't expect this fire to burn on himself, so he stopped talking.
In case Wu Dehou knew that Ma Chi had done that by himself, he would probably be even angrier, she shrugged her shoulders a little frightened, and for a while she actually thanked Qu Miaoling a little.
Ma Chi was executed by her, and the witness was gone, even if Qu Miaoling wanted to harm herself, there was no way.
She couldn't help but look at Qu Miaoling with a strange look.
Qu Miaoling didn't care either, and continued: "In Zhuangzi, my daughter found out about Ma Chi's mistakes and omissions and took him into custody, but he not only did not repent, but also oppressed people with power. ”
Wen was shocked.
Wu Dehou said: "Suppress people with power? When did a little Zhuangzi steward dare to suppress the master? ”
Wu Dehou's eyes widened.
"That Ma Chi is not someone else's power, it is my mother's!" In Wen's frightened gaze, Qu Miao said.
"You are spewing blood, how can Ma Chi be my person, I have never been to Ganzhou!"
"You don't have to go in person, your subordinates can!"
"You are talking nonsense, Master Hou, Miao Ling must have misunderstood, how could the concubine instruct Ma Chi to hurt Miao Ling, no matter what, Miao Ling is also your daughter, the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion, even if the concubine is crazy, she will not hurt the eldest lady!"
Wen almost swore to the sky, and in Wu Dehou's hesitant gaze, Wen gritted his teeth, "Miao Ling, you said that Ma Chi is my person, but what evidence is there?" Wen turned to look at Qu Miaoling and said.
"Of course the daughter has evidence, before he died, he said that he was a distant relative of his mother, and even his daughter had to call him uncle, and the tenants present were all witnesses!"
As soon as he heard Qu Miaoling's words, Wen Shi put his mind at ease, "Master Hou, that's just Ma Chi's indiscriminate bite before he died, it shouldn't be true!" ”
Wu Dehou's expression was restrained, and he also felt that Wen was right.
"Miao Ling, it's just a sentence, there is no evidence, you can't say anything, what good will it do you to provoke your mother?"
Seeing that Wu Dehou began to favor the Wen family, Qu Miaoling lowered her expression, she absolutely could not let the Wen family escape this catastrophe.
"Miao Ling, you executed Ma Chi, my father has no opinion, but don't you think it's too cruel for you to do this? After all, it's a life! ”
"Father, originally the daughter didn't want his life, the daughter sent someone to escort him back to Beijing with all those subordinates overnight, but they were rescued halfway, and the evidence collected by the daughter was also robbed, Na Ma Chi not only did not run, but also killed a horse pistol, intending to kill his daughter, and the daughter had no choice but to execute him."
"Otherwise, where is the daughter's reputation, where is the dignity of the Hou Mansion, and where is the majesty of the royal family!"
Qu Miaoling said it sincerely, and Wu Dehou was furious when he heard it.
"What, Ma Chi dared to kill you! He died innocently! ”
"Master Hou, don't call me Master Hou, Wen's, you are still not the mother of the Hou Mansion, the daughter of the family was bullied by the slaves, do you only know how to teach your daughter cruelly?"
This time, Wu Dehou was disappointed in Wen's family.
On one side is the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion, his biological daughter, and on the other side is a slave of Zhuangzi.
The Wen family actually favors the slaves, regardless of the face of Miss Houfu, is such a woman worthy of being the mother of Houfu?
Wu Dehou's eyes became colder and colder.
The cold Wen shivered, and his eyes wandered.
"Lord Hou......"
Wen's voice trembled, obviously frightened by Wu Dehou's eyes.
"Miao Ling, you are resolute in your work, and you have a bit of the majesty of Benhou." scolded Wen's and praised Qu Miaoling in front of her, which was no different from slapping Wen's face.
Wen pinched the handkerchief and moved, and several silk threads were deformed by her long nails.
"Wen, as the head of the Hou Mansion, how can you be so short-sighted, Miao Ling is a member of the royal family, what is the difference between insulting her and insulting the royal family! If something really happens to Miao Ling, ten of you won't be enough to kill! ”
Wu Dehou's voice became more and more fierce, since Qu Miaoling came back, he was extremely concerned and considerate of his daughter, who had never seen him a few times, because of this.
Qu Miaoling is not only his daughter, but also the county lord of the royal family!
If she has a case, their Hou Mansion will be implicated, and the degrading officials and angry reprimands are small, what they are afraid of is to raid the family and exterminate the clan!
But Wen's didn't understand her hard work at all, she had to work against Qu Miaoling, she didn't look at what her identity was, what was Qu Miaoling's identity, eggs touching stones, could it be good?
Qu Miaoling saw that the atmosphere of the two people was tense, so she left under the pretext that she was tired.
When she returned to Wanzhen Courtyard, she immediately asked Qingrou to send someone to Jingkanghou Mansion to deliver a message, saying that she had returned safely, asking them not to worry, and saying that she would find time to see them.
Walked gently, Qu Miaoling asked Lan Xin to prepare water, this way was dusty, she didn't even take a bath, and when she returned to the Hou Mansion, she was sure to wash herself up and down.
Qu Miaoling's Wanzhen Courtyard was like a pot of boiling water because of the return of its master, and it was in full swing.
The boiling of water, the cleaning of the house, the preparation of clothes, although busy, the heart is proper.
And Wu Dehou is here, after Qu Miaoling left.
Wen and Wu Dehou stared at each other for a while, and suddenly, Wu Dehou slapped the table and said angrily: "Wen, you still don't know how to repent!" ”
Wen Shi was so frightened that she couldn't understand why every time this song Miaoling returned home, it would make a fuss.
And every time, Hou Ye will help Qu Miaoling to teach himself a lesson.
She is the mother of the Hou Mansion and the wife of Wu Dehou!
When she married into the Hou Mansion, Wu Dehou promised to always love her!
Wen looked at Qu Fu in disbelief, and there seemed to be tears flashing in his eyes.
But Wu Dehou was already so angry that he was about to explode, where could he still take care of the emotions of the Wen family.
"Don't think that you gave birth to a son, this Hou Mansion is a one-man world!"
"Master Hou!" Wen burst into tears.
Suddenly, Wu Dehou's heart softened.
During this time, Qu Miaoling was not there, and the stiff atmosphere between him and the Wen family was much better, and he was a woman who had been in charge of family affairs for many years.
Is he too harsh?
So, he softened his voice impatiently and said: "Rou'er, Miaoling is still half a year away, marry her well, our Hou Mansion has a good reputation, isn't it?" She won't get in your way in the future, do you need to target her like this? ”
Wu Dehou's tone was puzzled, and Wen knew that this was his turning point.
She hurriedly explained: "Master Hou, the concubine body is not aimed at Miao Ling, it is really that after she returned home, she became more and more disrespectful to the concubine body, and the concubine body is also her mother-in-law no matter how she says it, isn't she disrespectful to you like this?" ”
Wu Dehou frowned and stopped talking.
After a while, he said: "Anyway, I'm here today, it's your business to listen to it or not, as for what you're worried about, I'll tell Miao Ling." ”
After Wu Dehou finished speaking, he left.
Wen Shi looked at the back of Hou Ye leaving, and he couldn't help but continue to ponder.
Today's matter, she seems to be too impatient, it is the damn Qu Miaoling, she brutally killed Ma Chi and frightened her, otherwise, she would not have exposed such a big horse foot in front of Wu Dehou today.
It's all her fault!
"But—"
Wen groaned.
What Wu Dehou said is reasonable, and when Qu Miaoling's family is gone, she has left the Hou Mansion, isn't this Hou Mansion still hers?
