Wei Baofu didn't panic when he heard Rulan's words, and said with some hesitation: "Auntie, all this happened just suddenly, and it wasn't deliberately arranged by man, besides, life and death are at stake, shouldn't you care more about your life?" ”

Ru Lan sighed helplessly, and said earnestly: "Haven't you heard that starvation to death is a big matter?" Wei Baofu realized the seriousness of the matter, and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid it's too late now, this time the matter is very big, and the palace may have already gotten the news." ”

"So what, as long as you go back to the palace overnight, avoid getting along with the Marquis of Zhenbei for a longer time, and let everyone in the palace see you appear, then there is still a chance to redeem." Ru Lan said very eagerly, although Wei Baofu had never seen how strict it could be for women here, he was not willing to challenge it easily.

She picked up the coat around her and put it on, and said calmly: "Auntie, I'll leave now, most of the guards around me are injured, so I will stay here to recuperate, please arrange someone to send me back to the palace, arrange a carriage for the Ye guards alone, Yu Shun will leave the aftermath, luggage or something, there is no need to pack up." ”

Wei Baofu is a very decisive person, since he has made a decision, then there is no need to drag mud and water, Linglong and Pearl are a little at a loss, Ru Lan hated iron and steel: "I thought you two were good, but I didn't expect to do things so inconsiderately, don't move quickly, the county lord still has to have an older helm by his side." ”

The two girls were scolded like this, and they couldn't care about anything, so they hurriedly moved, the carriage was properly arranged when they came, and they could leave when they said they could go, Rong Yanzong recruited other subordinates, and they were trying to arrange it well, check the people behind the scenes, and when he heard that the county master left overnight, his first reaction was to want to go with him, and take care of her on the road.

Then he was pulled back by reason, and at this moment the county lord left, just to clear up the relationship between the two, although he felt a little uncomfortable, but he also knew that he couldn't easily anger her, so he had to bear it and set off early tomorrow morning.

The three of them sat in the carriage, and Linglong looked at Wei Baofu's somewhat pale face and was very distressed, "Master, let's find an inn to rest for the night, as long as we leave Fuye Villa, it should be fine." ”

Wei Baofu shook his head, "I understand what my aunt means, now only if I return to the palace early, can I block Youyou's mouth and defend myself, otherwise, I'm afraid that things really can't go back." ”

Wei Baofu knew in his heart that she had a grandmother, even if this incident was rumored, it would not kill her, at most she would ruin her reputation, and she would be pointed at in the future, and she would not find a husband who was suitable.

She doesn't care, even if she doesn't get married, she can make herself live well, but her grandmother will not accept it, and her aunt will not agree, even if it is for them, she can't let outsiders splash dirty water on her.

"Why don't we send a letter to the Queen Mother first, let her old man suppress it first, in short, don't let outsiders talk nonsense." Pearl was a little anxious, although she hadn't seen the power of the rumors, she didn't want any stain on her county lord.

Wei Baofu smiled soothingly, "It's too late to do anything now, only if I appear by myself, can I stop those people's mouths, my grandmother is already impatient, if others say something that is not listening, I am afraid that she will not be able to help but come with her temperament." ”

There are still some things Wei Baofu didn't say, there is a concubine in the palace, how can she help her suppress the matter, even if she can't completely suppress it, at least she can wait for her to come back to deal with it, she is only worried that the emperor will take advantage of the situation now.

After all, the emperor's mind is unpredictable, and the Marquis of Zhenbei is a sensitive figure, Wei Baofu can only pray secretly, hoping that everything will not develop in the worst direction.

Sure enough, without waiting for Wei Baofu to return to the palace, the matter of Hot Spring Zhuangzi was rumored to be boiling with the connivance of people with a heart, and the focus of everyone's attention was not on the people behind the assassination, but on the gossip of the Marquis of Zhenbei and the county lord of Kangping.

There are all kinds of things, and there are people who say that the two have long been in love, and they deliberately went to the hot spring Zhuangzi for a private meeting, who knew that they happened to meet the killer, and the more it spread, the more outrageous it became, even if Concubine Shu tried her best to control it, she couldn't suppress it.

The Queen Mother angrily smashed the tea cup on the table on the ground, and scolded loudly: "These black-hearted eight lambs, the mourning family is not dead, they dare to bully the mourning family's Baofu, they are also worthy of mentioning the mourning family's treasure, it is simply looking for death, the mourning family wants to give them three feet of white silk, and they all die." ”

Mama Feng anxiously pressed her chest and comforted: "The Queen Mother, don't be angry, if you are angry, who can calm down this matter for the county lord, the slaves and maids have seen it, there must be someone behind the ghost, I can't wait to destroy the county lord, you can't fall down at this time." ”

Mama Qian knelt at the queen mother's feet and cried vigorously, "If only the old slave had been with the county lord at that time, there was no older person around her to watch, how could she get it, those two girls are also damned, how can you let the county lord spread such a reputation." ”

Mama Feng was very helpless, "Mama Qian, don't make a mess, the county lord hasn't come back yet, I don't know what the charter is, how can we mess up first." ”

The Queen Mother calmed down a little, she gritted her teeth and said: "The mourning family wants to ask the emperor if he also wants to reward the heroes with the treasure blessing of the mourning family, no matter how capable the Zhenbei Hou is, it is not worthy of the treasure blessing of the mourning family." ”

Mama Feng dared to say anything, and said gently: "Our county lord is worthy of any outstanding good man, but master, we really can't go to see the emperor now, the rumors are now spread like this, what can you do if you find the emperor, you won't let the emperor order to kill the Marquis of Zhenbei, that's also impossible, it's better for us to wait patiently for the county lord to come back." ”

The Queen Mother was stunned, and sat down on the chair a little dazedly, "How can Baofu of the mourning family be so miserable, and he can't live a peaceful life at all." "Who's to say it's not, all kinds of can be spread on her.

Mama Feng finally appeased the Queen Mother, and the old lady of the Weiguo Mansion over there also heard the news, she hadn't started to see each other here, why did she make a storm in the city, although she secretly scolded her son for not being orthodox, she was still happy, after all, the daughter-in-law here has been settled.

Chai Lao Taijun is a person who can bear it, and she is not in a hurry to inquire about anything, how can what outsiders say is credible as what her son says, she doesn't want to act rashly, lest she spoil her son's calculations, she doesn't move, but the eldest daughter-in-law of the family doesn't stop.

Duchess Li of Weiguo hurriedly ran into Songhe Hall, and before she had time to salute, she said anxiously: "Mother, you have also heard the rumors outside, our third brother is really unseemly, how can he ruin the reputation of the county lord, this must be a misunderstanding, our family has to quickly set up a family affair for the third brother, the family must be a family affair, and the family affairs must be certain, and people outside will naturally not talk nonsense." ”

This is also a good way to deal with it, if this eldest daughter-in-law is a righteous person, Chai Lao Taijun can also be handed over to her to deal with, but her old man has long seen that her own daughter-in-law is jealous, and she can't see that others are better than her room.

Old Taijun Chai didn't stop shouting, and said lightly: "Then what good candidates do you have?" Li was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Mother also knows that my second uncle has a little daughter, who is born with a beautiful face and a gentle and pleasing temperament, and is the most compatible with the third brother, so it is better for me ........to go home."

Old Mrs. Chai threw a knife in one eye, and said in an unkind tone: "Let your mother's fart, your second uncle is just a lifter, he doesn't even have an official position, and his daughter is also worthy of being Mrs. Hou, I think your eyes are covered with shit, right?" ”

On weekdays, the old lady also turns a blind eye to her eldest daughter-in-law, as long as it is not something too excessive, she will not ask, whether it is the Li family presiding over the feed, or the diplomatic entertainment, it is quite good, when she first entered the door, the old lady was also well trained, and now the older she gets, the more shallow her eyelids.

"Mother, didn't you say that in such a situation as our family, we don't need the woman's family background to be outstanding, as long as the person is good, my little sister has a very outstanding character."

Old Taijun Chai sneered, "You are dizzy when I am old, let's not talk about your second uncle's eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling, just your sister, she tortures the girl in private, she is so tyrannical at a young age, and her heart and eyes are black, what qualifications do you have to marry me?" ”

Li's face changed, she originally thought that these little problems were known from her family behind closed doors, who knew that her mother-in-law was so powerful, and said a little sneeringly: "Look at what my mother said, I don't know what kind of person she is, I am in charge of the family on weekdays, how can I have so much time to pay attention to her, but even if it is not her, I have to find someone." ”

Old Taijun Chai sneered, "Why can't you be the county lord and marry a county lord's brother and daughter-in-law for you, isn't that a good thing?" Li's face changed, her family background was not obvious, her father and brother were incapacitated, and she barely survived by relying on the title passed down from her ancestors.

Qiang smiled and said: "Look at what my mother said, this county lord and the queen mother are in charge, how can our family do whatever they want?" What's more, I don't know what the county lord looks like, whether he can be worthy of the third brother or not, it is better for our family to strike first. ”

Mrs. Chai really wanted to kick her out, but in the end, she had to take care of the face of her eldest son and grandson, and said coldly: "I, a mother, have not passed away yet, no matter how sister-in-law is like a mother, it will not be your turn to interfere in your daughter's marriage, what should you be busy with, don't get in the way in front of me, you are also the one who wants to hold your grandson, accumulate some virtue on your lips." ”
