Chapter 658 - Not Worth It
"Master Hou, Madame is waiting for you."
It was getting dark, and Han Changhou returned to Tiqinzhai after sending off the guests, and Webster had been waiting for a long time.
The Marquis of Hanchang sat down after washing, took the tea soup handed by the next person to relieve the hangover, and drank it without taking a sip, and did not see that there was a person in the room.
Webster stood up, lifted the bead curtain and walked into the inner room, looking at the elegant man in front of him, his eyes desolate and mocking.
"Hou Ye slapped the concubine's face like this, but he is still happy?"
Han Changhou put the soup bowl back on the table, and then looked at Webster.
At Shangwei's sad and angry face, there was not even the slightest wave in his eyes.
"If you really have the intention of harming your concubine, don't let Ben Hou find out, otherwise it will be more than just a slap in the face."
Suddenly, Webster's face turned extremely pale.
"Master Hou is suspicious, suspecting that the concubine is going to harm your precious daughter?"
She stared straight at Han Changhou while pointing to her heart.
"You and I are husband and wife, and the concubine is so vicious in your heart?!"
Han Changhou's eyes flashed slightly.
Over the years, whether as a daughter-in-law or a wife, Webster has indeed been impeccable. It's just that......
"Not long after the people of the Hou Mansion arrived in Guanbei, Yu'er was assassinated by the dead soldiers, and she was almost killed in the fire, does all this have nothing to do with you?"
Webster sneered for a while.
"Not to mention where the concubine went to contact the dead, even if she did, would you be able to avoid the eyes and ears of Master Hou? Even if those dead soldiers were sent by concubines, since they were dead soldiers, they had traveled thousands of miles since that day to chase after them, why did they have to wait until the people from the Hou Mansion went to do it, for fear that others would not suspect themselves? ”
This is also what the Marquis of Han Chang doubted. Moreover, the housekeeper has secretly investigated, and there is indeed no movement to Guanbei on the Qianxi side.
"Master Hou doesn't want to think about it, whether those so-called dead soldiers are the trouble caused by your precious daughter herself, and you have understood her ability to cause trouble."
Webster's words are of course to clear his name, but they are not unreasonable.
The origin of Yu'er's husband is a mystery, and the adopted brother has also disappeared one after another, which is strange enough, and what is even more strange is that the people he sent out can't find anything......
But it's not easy to spread out and tell Webster.
Before returning to Beijing, the chief housekeeper "washed" the entourage, and if the arson really had nothing to do with Webster, it meant that Webster did not know everything about Guanbei.
If you know, I'm afraid you won't be good.
"Putting this aside, how can Rue explain it?"
Wei Shi paused for a moment and said lightly: "Rue Xiang is from my mother's yard, and Master Hou should ask my mother if he wants to ask." ”
"Rue Xiang is indeed in her mother's yard, but her old son is doing things on your dowry Zhuangzi, before going to Guanbei, Qixia Pavilion just asked her to go over, so many coincidences, if it has nothing to do with you, it will not be your good niece's instructions."
In the face of Han Changhou's aggressive question, Webster asked rhetorically: "What reason does Jiayan have to do that?" ”
Han Changhou leaned back in his chair and looked at her meaningfully.
"Then you have to ask her, if she doesn't know, she will naturally know who to ask."
Wei Shi laughed again and again: "Master Hou doesn't have to insinuate here, if there is really evidence, put it in front of the concubine." Isn't Rue caught currently? With the ability of a housekeeper, can you still make a confession? ”
"You know that when the housekeeper took someone to catch Ruexiang, as soon as the door was opened, she swallowed the medicine and committed suicide."
"So, if there is no evidence, you have to blame the concubine?"
"Ben Hou just wants to know, just a maid, where did she get such a big will to die, did someone promise her something, or threatened her."
Wechsler's back is straight and his chin is raised.
"Then I'll have to ask Rue. Or if Jia Yan is arrested and tortured, maybe she will be able to spit out the answer you want. ”
Han Changhou looked at her with an indescribable look: "That child is what you have seen since childhood. ”
"So what?" Wei Shi shouted violently, "Master Hou is my husband, don't you still want to detain this crime to me!" After all, it's not like you can't forget Weis? ”
Han Changhou's expression suddenly turned cold, and his brows were tightly locked.
"What we're talking about now has nothing to do with Wei, don't mention her."
As if he hadn't heard, Wei walked towards Han Changhou step by step, questioning hysterically as he went.
"So many years have passed, why can't you forget Wei? What am I not as good as her, haven't I sacrificed enough for you all these years?! What is she? And what has she done for you? Although she gave birth to a daughter to you, she also gave birth to sons to other wild men! Such an unchaste woman, what else is there to remember! ”
"Enough!" The Marquis of Hanchang was furious, slapped the table and stood up, "She's just trying to survive." ”
Merriam-Webster laughed and burst into tears.
"If it were me who fell to that step, the concubine would rather die to be fully loyal, and would never bear to humiliate and steal her life and do something sorry for the Hou Ye."
Han Changhou was silent.
"Besides, how did Master Hou know that she was just trying to survive? Maybe at first, but then what? The concubine dares to bet with you, Wei's is absolutely moved by the wild man, otherwise, Ji Yu will not recognize that it is her father......"
"It's getting late, Ben Hou is going to rest, you can go back by yourself."
Han Changhou turned his back and refused to talk any further.
Merriam-Webster, who was the most empathetic in the past, did not follow his intentions this time.
"Master Hou, how does it feel to be a green hat by the woman you love the most? What does it feel like to hold your daughter in the palm of your hand, but you won't even call her father? Paying sincerely, but being trampled on the ground like garbage, do you understand the feelings of a concubine? The concubine body is not worth it for you! ”
The Marquis of Hanchang suddenly turned around, raised one hand, his eyes were red, and he was already angry.
"It's really rare to see Master Hou like this. How? Is it to beat the concubine? Wei took another step forward, "Let's fight, anyway, the concubine didn't know it hurt." ”
The raised hand slowly tightened into a fist, and the blood vessels on it were raised, and it was already forbearance to the extreme.
But the hand didn't fall in the end.
"Someone! Send Mrs. back to Changhong Courtyard to rest! ”
As soon as the words fell, the chief butler walked in with the two servants.
"Ma'am, please."
Wei Shi looked at the back of Han Changhou and smiled.
After all, I still mind, after all, I still mind.
After sending Webster out of the tired fast, the chief butler re-entered the inner room.
Han Changhou did not rest, he sat on the chair behind the bookcase, staring blankly at the void, not knowing what he was thinking.
The chief butler didn't say anything, and waited quietly outside the curtain.
After a long time, an inquiry suddenly came from inside.
"You say, is there really no Benhou in Wei's heart?"
The chief butler didn't know how to answer for a while.
The people inside didn't seem to need his answer, and said to themselves: "What kind of ...... is that Ben Hou worried about her all these years?"
The big housekeeper thought for a while and said, "The world is troubled, and people's hearts are fickle, but no matter what, the Wei family always gave birth to a young lady for Hou Ye. ”
The silence continued for a longer time, until a sigh came from inside.
"Yes, I still have a concubine."
