Bizhu pulled Su Qing's sideburns up, "Miss, when will the old lady let you out?" ”

"What if you don't go out, the third prince doesn't look at me differently. Sooner or later, I'm going to trample them all under my feet. ”

"The slave maid wishes the young lady to get her wish as soon as possible."

Su Qing smiled sweetly, "Your benefits will be indispensable when the time comes." ”

Knowles handles the accounts sent by the steward on the kang table.

Hongyu stepped forward with a cup of hot tea and said, "Madam, watch out for your body. ”

"It's okay. Is Hou Ye back? ”

"Not yet."

There was a maid outside through the curtain that the Hou Ye was coming.

When Su Lie came in, Knowles had already finished the business at hand and was instructing Hongyu to take down these accounts.

Seeing Su Lie, a room of maids bent down and saluted, "Master Hou."

Knowles smiled: "Master Hou is back." ”

Su Lie caught a glimpse of the clean kang table, "Haven't eaten yet?" ”

"Not yet, it's rare for Master Hou to be free at this time, maybe I'll come back for lunch."

Su Lie disagreed: "You can use it first, you don't have to wait for me." ”

"The concubine hasn't eaten with the Hou Ye for a long time......"

Su Lie's eyebrows softened a little, and he said to Hong Su: "Let the small kitchen serve the food quickly." ”

After a while, shredded chicken white fungus, duck with eight treasure sauce, steamed sea bass, vegetarian fried assortment, and West Lake lotus leaf soup were placed on the kang table. When Master Su saw that the dishes were ready, he instructed the surrounding maids to retreat first.

The maids put down what they were holding and said "yes".

"I see that you seem to have something on your mind for the past two days, what's wrong?"

"Let's talk about it when we're done."

After two quarters of an hour, the maids came in to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and then retreated in a witty manner.

"The concubine has something to ask Master Hou."

"You ask, why is it so solemn."

"Did Lord Hou participate in the battle for the crown prince?"

When Su Lie heard Knowle's words, his face changed.

"Who do you listen to?"

"The concubine body is just a guess, it turns out to be true."

"Ruoxin, I didn't mean to hide it from you."

"The third prince has recently come to our mansion, and he has approached Shu'er several times, do you want to marry the Hou mansion?"

Faced with his wife's questioning, Su Lie didn't know how to explain. I was afraid that my wife would think too much, so I only said "um" in the end.

"The Hou Mansion has never been involved in the battle for the throne, and the Hou Ye has done so. Is it because the concubine did not give birth to a son-in-law? ”

"Ruoxin, you don't know my feelings for you yet, I'm just afraid that you will think too much if you know, so I don't want to say more to you."

"Has Master Hou ever thought that if Lord Hou and His Royal Highness do this, won't the Holy Lord suspect it?"

"That's why I didn't promise the third prince."

"Master Hou wanted Shu'er to fall in love with the third prince, but I didn't expect Shu'er to understand it, and it didn't go as you wanted."

"If this matter is successful, the third prince will not treat Shu'er badly."

"I won't let Shu'er enter the royal family, Hou Ye will die of that heart."

Although Su Lie has the heart to go further, he will not disregard the wishes of his wife and daughter.

"I know that Shu'er has no such intentions, and I will not force her. I have agreed with the third prince that if he can marry anyone in the Hou Mansion, I will support him, and you should not interfere in this matter. ”

"Ying'er is still young, which means that it is possible for Qing'er to sing?"

"I'll take advantage of this matter first to see the ambitions of the three princes."

"The Hou Mansion has always been neutral, Master Hou should not choose the wrong path."

Su Lie knew his wife's worries, "Don't worry, I don't have any handle left." ”
