Chapter 212: The Dead
Escorted back by two lines of soldiers, he swaggered through the city along the way, and soon, the Wudehou Mansion received the news.
Wu Dehou was even more anxious, he thought that Qu Miaoling was going to Situ Huaibo to exchange feelings today, but he didn't think that he was almost intercepted and killed by the gangsters.
He hurried to Wanzhen Courtyard and said softly that the young lady was still changing clothes.
Wu Dehou frowned, and began to interrogate gently, when he heard that Qu Miaoling asked her to escape and move the rescue soldiers, Wu Dehou's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
He immediately began to question gently, "You girl, how dare you leave your master and run away?" β
Wu Dehou's face was very cold, and when he stared at the gentleness, it seemed like he was going to take her life in the next moment.
"As Miao Ling's personal maid, if Miao Ling is gone, do you think you can still live alone?"
"Master Hou." knelt down softly, and shook her head again and again, "Slave and maid deserter, slave and maid are looking for someone to save Miss, so many people, slave maid stays, it is also to cause chaos for Miss!" β
But Wu Dehou didn't want to hear any of this at all.
He only had one thought in his heart now, if something happened to Qu Miaoling, what would their Hou Mansion do! If the emperor blames it, they don't take good care of the princess, and let her go out alone, when the time comes......
Wu Dehou just thought about it, and his mind was full of it.
kneeling softly, tears kept pouring out, not that Wu Dehou was too strict, but she also regretted it, if she was there at that time, even if she couldn't fight with those people, but in the end she could protect the young lady and block the knife for her.
But now, she didn't know if the young lady was injured.
And the young lady wouldn't let her in.
Crying softly even harder.
"What are you crying about!" Qu Miaoling pushed open the door, and just now she heard Wu Dehou shouting outside, and bullying her gentleness.
She hurriedly changed her clothes and came out, and met Wu Dehou's gaze, she said: "Father, don't be angry first, if you don't move in gently and quickly to rescue the soldiers today, presumably what you see now is your daughter's corpse. β
Wu Dehou was choked.
"Butβ" He wanted to say something more.
Qu Miaoling continued: "Father, my daughter will go to Huaiwang's Mansion later, it's not too early, see if it's ......?"
When Wu Dehou heard this, he gave up asking.
He waved his hand and said, 'Go, go.' β
The affairs of His Royal Highness the Second Prince cannot be delayed.
At this moment, Wen Qingqian came over, she was listening to her cursing the two new concubines in Wen's courtyard, and even scolded Qu Miaoling, Jiang Jingjing, and Yuan Qiongyu, and finally counted down Wu Dehou's two sentences, saying that he didn't know how to be considerate, his words didn't count, and he deceived her.
She didn't come today to listen to Wen's ramblings.
Soon, she heard the maid outside report from her: "Madam, Miss Cousin, the eldest lady was attacked when she was out." β
Wen Qingqian immediately stood up, "Is she back?" β
"I'm back, but I just look like I've been ......"
Before the maid's words were finished, Wen Qingqian rushed out of He'an Garden, and Wen was stunned.
"They're all white-eyed wolves!" She shouted.
When Wen Qingqian arrived, Qu Miaoling had already returned to the house to change clothes, and knelt outside softly to be reprimanded by Wu Dehou.
This situation looks like Qu Miaoling has been defiled.
She couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips excitedly.
Last time in front of the city gate, that Situ Huai decided not to save face for himself at all, so she had a stomach.
But today, seeing Qu Miaoling come back with a disgraced face, she may still be given this or that by that group of wild men.
Don't think she didn't see the bits and pieces of skirts scattered on the ground, this material must have fallen from Qu Miaoling's body.
The more Wen Qingqian thought about it, his face couldn't help but turn red, purely excited.
She arrived in a hurry, and she didn't even bother with Wen shouting behind her.
can see Qu Miaoling making a fool of herself, Wen Qingqian must be the first to rush over.
As soon as she entered the hall, her smile was not raised, and she saw Wu Dehou who turned around and circled, her face was full of anxiety, and then she saw the gentleness of kneeling on the ground, obviously punished by Wu Dehou, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise high again, and her brain desperately controlled the muscles at the corners of her mouth, but it was just disobedient.
The warm relatives had no choice, so they had to take advantage of the situation and put on a painful and crying look.
"My dear sister, why are you so miserable! If you lose your innocence, how can you marry the second prince, how can you live in the rest of your life! β
Wen Qingqian didn't even shout "uncle" when he entered the door, which was enough to make Wudehou angry, not to mention that he had experienced a thrilling scene just now, so he didn't stop it, but who knew that this Wen Qingqian was okay in the front, and he went crazy directly in the back.
Wu Dehou immediately turned around and reprimanded with a cold face: "Who said that Miao Ling lost his innocence!" β
Wen Qing's action of wiping tears paused.
What the?
"Wen Qingqian, you are still Miao Ling's cousin, so you can't look down on her well?"
Wu Dehou pressed step by step, and Wen Qin was speechless.
"I-"
Could it be that Qu Miaoling has not been defiled, impossible, what is the matter with the rags on the ground?
Wen Qingqian's heart turned a thousand times, and at this moment, Qu Miaoling came out, obviously having changed her clothes, and in her place, she could still smell a fresh fragrance.
This perfume, but Hu Bu specially paid tribute, is to pick the top matsutake flowers of Amlangka Mountain, it is extremely difficult, Hu Bu made a total of two bottles, all of them were dedicated to the emperor, the emperor waved his hand, and gave Qu Miaoling a bottle.
And in the palace, only Rui Guifei got another bottle of perfume.
It can be seen that in the eyes of the emperor, Qu Miaoling is even more valuable than several of his biological daughters.
What a privilege!
Wen Qingqian couldn't help but clench her fists again, she was questioned by Wu Dehou just now, and she went crazy with resentment.
And the most unbalanced thing in her heart is that Qu Miaoling is not defiled, she is still perfect!
"Oh, isn't this my cousin? Why are you here, but to talk to your mother? β
As soon as Qu Miaoling came out, he saw Qin Rou being punished for kneeling, and as soon as he said a few words to Wu Dehou, he seemed to "see" Wen Qing's shallow and soft-spoken voice unintentionally.
She also heard her words of sowing discord just now, including Wu Dehou's merciless reprimand.
She didn't feel anything in her heart when she heard it, anyway, Wen Qingqian only regarded herself as an enemy.
"Father, I still have to go to Huaiwang's Mansion, so I will be lost first."
Qu Miaoling said that she asked people to pull her up gently, and she walked out in front of Wen Qingqian, whose face was blue and white.
The other party gritted her teeth, her face was light, and the two were compared, and there was really a gap between a beautiful woman and a beast.
At this moment, Wen's belatedly arrived, and she thought that Qu Miaoling was dirty, just like Wen Qingqian's thoughts.
As soon as she came in, in front of Wu Dehou, she pointed at Qu Miaoling, especially the blood stains on the ground, and even the corners of the clothes on the ground, she could see it clearly.
And you can look at Qu Miaoling's posture, and you still have to go out?
Don't you want to lose the face of the Wudehou Mansion?
Wen immediately said with a straight face: "Qu Miaoling, do you still know what shame is, the daughter of the dignified Wude Hou Mansion was besieged by a group of stinky men, and now you have to go out, do you really want to affect the reputation of the Hou Mansion!" β
Wen's words were sharp, and Wen Qingqian repeatedly wanted to give her a look, but she was ignored by the angry Wen.
finally caught Qu Miaoling's handle, and she had to shake off the grievances she had suffered before.
"Qu Miaoling, did you hear me!"
Seeing that Qu Miaoling ignored him, Wen's voice rose several degrees.
"Mother, what do you mean by that?"
"You still want to hide?" Wen screamed.
"What kind of place do you think this capital is, the matter of you being besieged is so big, it will soon spread all over the capital, and all the rich and noble families will know about it at that time, even those ordinary people will take your stupid thing about being defiled as a topic of conversation after dinner, how can you let your father gain a foothold in the court, how can you let your grandmother still attend the banquets of various families, and where do you put the reputation of Wudehou Mansion!"
Wen's voice was higher than the other.
Qu Miaoling listened, but the tips of her lips raised a few sneers one after another, and there was even fierceness hidden in her eyes.
She looked at Wen, stared at by that look, and Wen took several steps back in succession.
Qu Miaoling, what does her eyes mean!
Wen Qingqian sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly wanted to come over to stop it, but was gently stopped.
Qu Miaoling said: "Mother, you don't want the heart of a villain to live in the belly of a gentleman, when will I do something ugly, please let my mother make it clear!" β
Wen laughed loudly, "Qu Miaoling, you are really faceless and skinless, do you really want me to tell you everything?" β
"I want to hear about it."
"You-"
"That's enough." Seeing this farce, after seeing Wen's aggressiveness, Qu Miaoling was already very good, and did not refute her, although Wen had already relegated her to the dust.
Also, what is an ugly thing?
Miao Ling just went to meet the second prince, her prospective fiancΓ©, just don't be embarrassed and embarrass the Hou Mansion?
Wu Dehou's face became more and more gloomy.
"Enough!" Seeing that Wen still wanted to say something messy again, he hurriedly shouted.
"Wen, shut up!"
A few shouts in quick succession.
It made Wen's heart tremble.
She looked at Wu Dehou hesitantly, "Master, I'm in a hurry for you, why do you blame the concubine indiscriminately?" β
Wen himself still felt wronged, but Wu Dehou looked at Wen with a complaining face, and almost spit on his mouthful.
This Wen really doesn't know what to say!
He turned around, too lazy to see Wen going crazy, and said directly to Qu Miaoling: "Miaoling, you are frightened, and my father is very distressed, so my father just asked the people in the kitchen to make you a soothing soup, you sit here and wait first, and you will be there soon." β
Since Wu Dehou had spoken, Qu Miaoling couldn't refuse, so she sat down.
Even Wen Qingqian and Wu Dehou let people give them a seat.
Only Wen, stupidly standing there like a pillar, no one paid attention.
She shouted in disbelief: "Master Hou." β
Wu Dehou only cared about talking to Qu Miaoling and didn't pay attention to her at all.
Soon, in Wen's stunned, the people in the stove room brought a soothing soup, and she watched Wu Dehou shush Qu Miaoling and ask for warmth.
From time to time, he speaks words of concern.
Her heart was about to break.
"Master Hou, Qu Miaoling is not innocent, she can't marry the second prince, why are you still so good to her!"
A woman who loses her virginity before marriage is to be indulged in according to the law.
Even the county lord and princess are not immune.
But seeing Wu Dehou like this, he didn't care at all.
Isn't he afraid that the emperor will implicate the Hou Mansion?
She couldn't help but want to sit down with the help of Taolei, and after standing for so long, her legs were weak.
After Qu Miaoling drank the soothing soup, he saw Wen glaring at him angrily.
She smiled at Wen again, but it was full of mockery.
Wen squeezed the handkerchief in his hand, and as soon as Taolei lowered her head, she saw that the handkerchief in her master's hand had leaked out of the silk threads inside.
It was already a ruined wall.
She turned her head, not looking at the handkerchief, and gave Wen a shoulder to her heart.
Suddenly, when Qu Miaoling was about to finish the bowl of sobering soup, Wen suddenly screamed, she covered her mouth and shouted, "Taolei, have you smelled anything?" β
Tao Lei received Wen's eyes and immediately said, "It seems to be ...... The smell of blood. β
Then they looked together at the blood on the ground.
"Master Hou, but Miao Ling is injured? Why don't you hurry up and ask someone to take a look? β
Looking at Wen's eagerness, Wu Dehou's brows furrowed, if it weren't for Wen's madness just now, he really thought that Wen's was sincere.
