Kageha nodded and took the lead in walking outside. Originally, he wanted to go into the Jinghong Courtyard, but when he saw these mothers-in-law, he suddenly changed his mind, he didn't see with his own eyes how his little daughter was doing, whether she was in confinement, so rashly breaking in, I'm afraid it would hurt Mrs. 's heart, let's see.

Kageha nodded and took the lead in walking outside. Originally, he wanted to go into the Jinghong Courtyard, but when he saw these mothers-in-law, he suddenly changed his mind, he didn't see with his own eyes how his little daughter was doing, whether she was in confinement, so rashly breaking in, I'm afraid it would hurt Mrs. 's heart, let's see.

As soon as the group left, before they reached Luomei Curie, Mrs. Jinye Hou heard the news in the Zhengde Hall, and was immediately startled, and couldn't care about anything else, so she hurriedly came over with someone later.

Of course, no matter how fast her feet are, she can't catch up with Jinye Hou, as soon as Mrs. Jinye Hou goes out, Jinye Hou has already arrived at the gate of Luomei Ju.

It was winter, the gate of Luomeiju was closed, deserted, and there were two strong mothers-in-law guarding the left and right at the door, and on the gate in the middle, even if the brocade leaves were far away, they also saw a huge copper lock hanging on it.

What is this not confinement?

Every day, when the family had dinner together, he would ask his wife about the condition of his wife's youngest daughter, because he was busy with official business for a hundred days, and he had no time to visit his daughter. Every time he asked, Mrs. Jinye Hou told him with a smile: "Master Hou, you don't have to worry too much, Xi'er's condition is fine, it's just that she needs to recuperate, let's not bother her." ”

He believed it every time, and then told his wife to take good care of his daughter, but he didn't expect that when he couldn't see it behind his back, his wife would do such a thing without permission!

Is it a loving mother to put her seriously ill young daughter under house arrest?

There was a thick anger on Jinye Hou's face, but he was also a little sad, and he almost wanted to rush back to his wife to ask for clarification!

But at this moment, the two mothers-in-law saw him, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Slave and maid see Hou Ye!" At the same time, I was also beating the drum in my heart, why did Master Hou come? Didn't he never show up?

When Jinye Hou heard this, he suddenly regained a little bit of his senses, and he stepped forward with a cold face and said, "Go, open the door!" ”

The mother-in-law didn't realize the seriousness of the situation, and explained there with a look of embarrassment: "Master Hou, Madame ordered the second lady to be confined for another half a year, and she can't open the door at this time......."

"Another half a year? How many days was there before that? When Jinye Hou heard this, he immediately laughed angrily.

The woman couldn't tell what he was thinking, so she had to say honestly: "Master Hou, don't complain about the slave!" It was ordered by Madame, and it had been locked up for two months before......"

"Two months...... What a crime! Jinye Hou was furious: "This adds up to eight months, almost a year!" As he spoke, he stepped forward suddenly, kicked the woman's heart, and said coldly: "Hurry up and open the door!" ”

The woman was frightened, and she hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes, yes!" Slave and maid, open the door! ”

Only then did Jin Yehou move his feet away, and the woman stood up tremblingly, took out a key from her close-fitting clothes, and was about to step forward to open the door, when a soft voice suddenly sounded not far away: "Master Hou, what are you doing?" ”

As soon as Jin Yehou turned around, he saw his wife leading a large group of maids and women from not far away, and in a moment, he had already walked in front of everyone.

"Humph! You do a good thing, and you dare to ask me what I do? Jinye Hou said angrily: "Why do you want to lock up Xi'er? ”

When Mrs. Kashiba heard this, she couldn't help but look up at her husband, but she was secretly a little surprised in her heart: she had never seen her husband so angry! It seems that her confinement of Gu Ruoxi really angered him......

However, everyone in the Gu family hid this matter from him, how did he know? Throw the preface brother.

Thinking about it, Mrs. Jinye Hou's reaction speed was not slow at all, she stepped forward with a smile, grabbed Jinye Hou's arm and said: "Master Hou, you really can't blame me for this, Xi'er She did something wrong herself, I, as a mother, have no punishment, just confine her up, this is already taking care of her." ”

Now that Jinye Hou has come here and seen everything, blindly denying it is the next step, it is better to admit it first.

"Done something wrong? Are you extrajudicially gracious? When Jin Yehou heard this, it was as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, he raised his head, looked at his wife and said, "Okay, then you can tell me, what mistake did Xi'er make?" So much so that you must punish her like this! My daughter's sins are unforgivable, so should I be involved? ”

"Master Hou, why do you say that? Don't you know what kind of person I am? Mrs. Jinye Hou listened to her husband's heart-wrenching words, and couldn't help crying: "Xi'er is also my daughter, I can't love her too late, how can I deliberately hurt her?" There's a reason she's locked up here......"

"Whatever your reason, I just want to ask you, why didn't you tell me in advance about such a big thing as confinement?" Jin Ye Hou stared at his wife and asked word by word.

When Mrs. Jinye Hou heard this, she didn't care about the number of maids and daughters-in-law present, and said with tears in her eyes on the spot: "Master Hou, I know that you have been more affectionate to Xi'er than Tong'er since you were a child, and I, as a mother, naturally love a young daughter, I can understand your feelings, but because of this, I didn't tell you about it." ”

"Why is that?" Kazuba couldn't help asking.

Mrs. Kashiba Hou

smiled miserably and said, "Because I'm afraid that the Hou Ye will be sad when he knows about this matter, and I'm even more afraid that you will resent Xi'er, so I ......"

When Jin Yehou heard this, he immediately snorted coldly, he was about to refute loudly, but suddenly he saw the tall maids and women around him with their ears erected, and suddenly snorted coldly: "Okay, you all retreat!" ”

"Yes! Master Hou! The maids and ladies immediately dispersed in an uproar.

Kazuba Hou said angrily: "Wait a minute! Open the door to me! ”

When the mother-in-law who had taken out the key before heard this, her body suddenly stiffened, but she subconsciously turned her head and glanced at Mrs. Jinye Hou, and the people around her retreated quickly, and in the blink of an eye, she was left standing there alone, and even the other mother-in-law who was guarding the door left first.

Jinye Hou saw her eyes, and immediately sneered at her and said, "What, what Ben Hou said, doesn't it count?" ”

"Slaves don't dare!" The woman had seen his anger before, and she didn't dare to hesitate, so she hurriedly stepped forward and quickly opened the key to the door.

Jin Yehou stepped forward and pushed the door, "squeak-" sound, and the gate of the courtyard, which had been closed for two months, finally opened slowly.

Facing is a sea of plum blossoms, dozens of plum trees in this yard seem to be in full bloom overnight, and it seems that there was a heavy snow last night, only left on the treetops of the plum house, the snow clusters, the dark fragrance floats, such a beautiful scenery, for a moment let everyone at the door look stunned.

Only Mrs. Jinye Hou, she didn't have the heart to enjoy the scenery and flowers at all, but kept worrying in her heart, now that her husband has opened this door, then she will definitely not be able to close the confinement of her little daughter in the future, but the prince will marry Tong'er in three months, and there can be no mistake at this time!

Therefore, I can only grieve Xi'er......

Mrs. Kazuba Hou settled down and immediately stopped talking.

Jin Ye Hou came back to his senses from the shock of seeing the beautiful scenery at the beginning, and did not look at his wife who was following her, and walked in striding in, although he was a foreign man, but in the end it was Gu Ruoxi's father, he came here to visit his daughter, and no one dared to say a word.

Mrs. Kazuba hurriedly followed.

Walking through the plum forest, Jin Yehou saw a few people standing not far in front of him, the first one, with his hair combed and temples, wearing a thick cloak, and holding a soup woman in his hand, even if she was so bloated, she still looked slender and beautiful, not Gu Ruoxi, who is it?

"Xi'er has seen her father and mother!" Gu Ruoxi stood there in the distance, bent down and saluted.

When Jin Yehou saw her face and heard her voice again, his heart suddenly warmed, his little daughter was not seriously ill, didn't this look good? Whoever told him to be sick in bed, it's damned!

"Xi'er! My father heard that you were sick, so come and see, are you okay? In the voice of Kazuba Hou

With a hint of stalk, it can be seen that he really cares about this little daughter in his heart.

Listened to what Kageba Hou said. Gu Ruoxi's heart warmed, and she immediately responded: "Back to Daddy, my daughter was sick some time ago, and my mother has always sent someone to take care of her, and Daddy is busy with official business, so I don't know." ”

In front of Kazuha, she didn't debunk what her mother had done.

However, when Jinye Hou heard this, he turned his head to look at Mrs. Jinye Hou and snorted coldly: "That's how you take care of it?" A big lock locks the door, and two people are there to guard it, what is the difference between this and holding a prisoner? By the way, in this case, you should rarely come to visit Xi'er, right? ”

When Mrs. Kashiba Hou came into contact with her husband's cold eyes, she suddenly lied in her heart, she had never seen him look at her with such eyes! My heart was inexplicably torn apart for a moment. But reason told herself that she couldn't admit defeat! Especially in front of this little daughter.

Tong'er, Tong'er is still waiting for her to put on a wedding dress for herself!

"Master Hou, what are you talking about? As a mother, how could I not have come to visit Xi'er? Mrs. Kazuha Hou looked at her husband and smiled slightly, and said, "Although I can't come to visit every day, because there are too many things in the house." But every two days, I see her, Xi'er. Are you right? With that, Mrs. Jinye Hou's gaze turned to Gu Ruoxi.

"Xi'er, what your mother said is true?" Kazuhahou's gaze also turned.

Gu Ruoxi stared at the two of them deeply, lowered her head and smiled slightly, and said gently: "Dad, what my mother said is naturally true." She often came to visit me. ”

It's kind of on the road! Mrs. Kazuba couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Really?" Jinye Houhu glanced at Gu Ruoxi suspiciously, and then turned his head to look at his wife: "Since you often come to visit Xi'er, what are you doing locking the door?" There are only a few people in our house, I have a lot of things to do every day, except for you, the only people who can come to visit Xi'er are Xiao'er and Tong'er, could it be that you are guarding against them? ”

"Wrong! Master Hou, I'm doing this for the good of Xi'er! Mrs. Jinye Hou listened to her husband's series of questions, and she didn't panic at all, and there was actually a trace of justification in her expression: "I don't believe you ask her, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been clamoring to come to see her many times." If I hadn't locked the gate, who would have stopped the prince! Besides, Xi'er doesn't want to see the prince, right? As she spoke, her gaze turned to Gu Ruoxi again.

"Mother is right, I don't want to see my brother-in-law." Gu Ruoxi smiled slightly, echoing Mrs. Jinye Hou's words. But I couldn't help but secretly admire my mother in my heart, after all, her Mrs. Hou for so many years was not in vain, and in a few words, she dispelled the doubts of Jinye Hou, and also used her as a shield. Does she dare to correct her mother in front of her father? No!

As a child, filial piety comes first, Gu Ruoxi has not forgotten this, and whether it is in the past life or in this life, she is a good child who is filial. if

She blamed Mrs. Kashiba here for her, and her father would be suspicious of her.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince often comes here?" When Kazuha Hou heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed deeply.

"Isn't it!" Mrs. Jinye Hou raised her hand to wipe her tears, and said in a stumbling tone: "He will marry Tong'er in three months, but even so, every time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince comes to the mansion, the first thing to come is this Luomei Ju, I am afraid that it will make a bad reputation if it spreads, so I locked the door." Master Hou, I'm completely painstaking! I don't dare to expect Xi'er to be considerate of me......" As she spoke, a trace of heartbreak appeared on Mrs. Jinye Hou's face.

When Jinye Hou heard this, he looked at Gu Ruoxi's reaction, and he believed it in his heart, and his anger subsided. But he still frowned and said, "For such a big thing, why haven't you seen you go back and forth to me?" ”

"Lord Hou is busy with business, how dare you bother Lord Hou for this trivial matter......" Mrs. Kazuba Hou said in a low voice, with a supple expression on her face.

When Jin Yehou looked at her, he remembered that in the past, whenever there was a big event in the house, his wife was so stubborn and would never come to trouble him. The tenderness on his face softened, and he stepped forward and grabbed her hand and said, "Okay, I'm wrong to blame you, don't cry." As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief to wipe away his wife's tears.

"Thank you Lord Hou for your understanding...... "It's okay if he doesn't do this, when he wipes the tears, he crackles and falls even more fiercely, Mrs. Kazuba Hou looks at her husband with a sad face, and says in a mournful tone: "However, I am Xi'er's mother, and Lord Hou actually thinks that I will abuse my daughter, which really makes my heart ache......"

"All right, ma'am! I know that I wronged you, and I apologize to you, or not? Jin Ye Hou hurriedly comforted in a low voice.

The expression on Mrs. Jinye Hou's face looked a little better, she said in a low voice, with some tentativeness: "Master Hou, since this is the case, then Xi'er she ......"

She originally wanted to say that the door would still be locked, but before Mrs. Jinye Hou spoke, Jinye Hou said without thinking: "Xi'er has been recuperating from this illness for two months, and it's almost fine, a good eldest daughter, you can't keep it closed all the time because of the prince, it's not fair to Xi'er!" ”

"Then, Master Hou, what do you say should be a good ......" When Mrs. Kazuba Hou heard this, she suddenly felt that she was not in her heart

"Xi'er is absolutely right!"

At this point, the sound of conversation drifted away, and Mrs. Kashiba Hou couldn't hear a word. She stood there in a daze, only feeling stiff and uncomfortable, but her henchman on the side couldn't help but say, "Madam, it's cold here, let's go back!" ”

When her words landed, tears rolled down the eyes of Mrs. Kazuba Hou: "I don't wear a cloak either!" Why is there only Xi'er in the eyes of Hou Ye! ”

The mother-in-law didn't dare to answer this, so she just hung her head and stood there, secretly hating why she had to open her mouth just now, which actually led to the anger of Mrs. Kazuba Hou.

"Let's go!" Mrs. Kashiba Hou rubs

With tears in his eyes, he said lightly: "Since the Hou Ye has already said that he will not let the prince come to the door again, then Xi'er is the same whether he is closed or not, so be it." As she spoke, she moved her numb feet, which were already standing, and walked out as if she had lost her soul, and a group of maids and maids hurriedly followed.

It only took a short afternoon, all the things in Luomei Curie were moved to the courtyard, the earth dragon was also burned early, the house was warm, and the girls were a little excited to clean up this and tidy up that, the mood was indescribably happy, great, their young lady finally didn't have to be confined!

In the study, as soon as Jin Yehou entered the door, he asked Gu Ruoxi, "When did you return this book?" Gu Ruoxi raised her head and saw that what Jin Yehou was holding in her hand was the miscellaneous book that she had secretly let Yun Duo put in the night before.

She blinked and pretended to be puzzled, "Dad." I gave you this book back a long time ago, don't you know? ”

"You've been back a long time ago?" When Jinye Hou heard this, he was taken aback: "Then why don't I have an impression?" ”

Gu Ruoxi smiled and said, "Dad, you have a lot of business, and you are busy every day, and even my daughter doesn't have time to visit, where can I remember this?" Two months ago, I had already asked someone to return the book, but my father was not there at the time. ”

"Oh, I see." Jin Ye Hou nodded, but frowned again: "It's just that, why didn't anyone tell me afterwards?" Which guard received the book? ”
