Chapter 160: A secret is discovered
Mu Qianyan's heart sank suddenly, and Zhao Qiongge ......
In the past two days, the Hou Mansion has been shrouded in a mournful atmosphere.
Zhao Qiongge's coffin stayed in the Hou Mansion for two days, and all the matters after his death were handled according to the specifications of his wife.
Even though people are dead, no matter how much they do it, it is only a formality.
But for Zhao Qiongge, it is somewhat of a comfort, and it is also a little compensation for Mu Zheng to her.
And Mu Zheng also enshrined his tablet into the ancestral hall, which is equivalent to raising Zhao Qiongge's position, Zhao Qiongge is no longer a concubine, but a wife.
It's just a pity that it all came too late...
The days passed like this, and after a month, the Hou Mansion gradually returned to a normal atmosphere.
And at the same time, it also ushered in a happy event.
That is, the second lady Mu Ziqing is about to get married.
Although a lot of unpleasant things happened during this time, the marriage between Mu Ziqing and Qin Hanyu was not canceled, and it still counted.
I don't see that the wedding date is coming, and tomorrow, Mu Ziqing will get married.
Everyone in the Hou Mansion began to get busy.
Only in Mu Qianyan's yard, how should it be or what, there is no busyness.
And the people also know in their hearts that they will not bother her with Mu Ziqing's marriage, everyone knows that now she and Mu Ziqing are in harmony on the surface, but they are actually not at each other's mercy.
For the matter of marrying a daughter in the Hou Mansion, Uncle Li Wei can be in charge of Zhang Luo.
In fact, there is no need to be very open, to put it mildly, it's just a concubine, besides, before the Yao family died, they all prepared a dowry for Mu Ziqing, and tomorrow, they will be carried out with the welcoming team.
As for Mu Ziqing, of course, she is waiting to be a bride!
Mu Qianyan lay in the courtyard leisurely basking in the sun, unconsciously, it was September, and the weather was gradually getting cooler, and there were not many suns like this.
"Miss, the sweet soup is here!" Qingshuang brought the sweet soup with a smile.
It's her mother's favorite.
It turned out that she didn't like to drink sweet, but since Zhao Qiongge left, she found that sometimes drinking something sweet can reconcile the bitterness in her heart.
After drinking it a few times, she loved it.
Mu Qianyan didn't forget to ask while drinking, "Did you send it to your father?"
Qingshuang nodded and said, "It's sent!
Every time there is sweet soup, I will send one to Master Hou, this little thing, how can I ask the young lady to tell me!
Moreover, Qingshuang still looks like a thief...
At a glance, Mu Qianyan could see what gossip news she had again?!
"Tell me, what's going on this time?"
Mu Qianyan drank the sweet soup, and glanced at Qingshuang with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Hey, hey... Miss, the slave seems to have discovered a secret!" Qingshuang said with a little expression like a thief, and she squeezed her eyebrows...
Sure enough, the young lady still understands her!
"Secret?" Mu Qianyan raised her eyebrows amusedly, "What secret?"
"The slave found ......"
"Yan'er. Mu Zheng's voice suddenly came, interrupting what Qingshuang wanted to say.
I didn't have time to say the 'secret' and got stuck again!
"Dad..."Seeing Mu Zheng, Mu Qianyan immediately greeted him, "Why is Daddy here?"
If you have something to do, send someone to call her, why do you want to run it yourself.
Mu Qianyan obediently helped Mu Zheng to sit down, since Zhao Qiongge's death, although his father's spirit has recovered a little, he still looks much older.
Mu Qianyan saw it in her eyes and hurt in her heart, and originally thought that there would be someone who could accompany her father to the end of his life, so that his father would not be a lonely man, but now it seems that ......
Mu Qianyan felt in her heart, how could she not be melancholy?
Mu Zheng patted the back of her hand, to appease her and comfort herself, "Yan'er, tomorrow Qing'er will get married, you can send her off on behalf of your father." ”
Mu Qianyan was stunned when she heard this, she didn't expect her father to come, did she come to talk about this?
Mu Ziqing will get married tomorrow, and it stands to reason that her father should give her a marriage.
But she knew that her father didn't have the strength to accompany the wine now.
Tomorrow's banquet must be no worse than the previous time when the prince married Du Ruo.
After all, Qin Hanyu is in the limelight in the DPRK now.
Everyone was afraid that they were rushing to slap Qin Hanyu.
One can imagine that, in the same way, how many people will come to flatter Daddy tomorrow.
Daddy didn't have the strength to accompany him.
Then she had to go.
"Dad, you can rest at home, tomorrow your daughter will go to get married, Daddy rest assured. ”
Mu Qianyan felt sorry for her father, but she was also willing to get married.
Mu Ziqing's family business, she is the biggest hero.
How can you not go and see it?
Even if her father doesn't say it, she will join in the fun tomorrow.
In this way, it just so happens that she has a legitimate reason to get married.
Hongwangfu... She will soon be able to set foot in the Hongwang Mansion again.
There was a flash of coldness in Mu Qianyan's clear eyes.
Qin Hanyu, it's almost your turn.
Before that, there was an eldest princess of Anyang!
She hasn't forgotten that she still has an unavenged revenge for killing her mother.
"Yan'er has grown up and can be on her own, and she is very relieved and relieved to be a father. Mu Zheng said with a sigh.
From his poisoning, Yan'er found an antidote for him, to Qiong Ge's death, all the funerals were handled by Yan'er, and he knew that his Yan'er had grown up and could take charge of himself.
There is nothing more gratifying for a father than the growth of his children.
"Dad, for so many years, you have been taking care of your daughter and protecting your daughter, and now that your daughter has grown up, it is your daughter's turn to protect her father and take care of her father! ”
Mu Qianyan was very proud of what she said, and she also coaxed Mu Zheng to laugh.
But every word she said was firm.
In the future, she will guard the Hou Mansion with her father.
"Okay, for the sake of my father, I'll go back first. "He came just to talk about the marriage, and other things in the house, Yan'er has learned to be in charge of the house, and he doesn't need to worry about it.
"Daddy walks slowly. ”
Seeing Mu Zheng walk away, Mu Qianyan sighed deeply.
During this time, my father was in a bad mood and often stayed alone in the ancestral hall, talking to his mother and Zhao Qiongge.
Every time she saw her father talking to the spiritual position alone, Mu Qianyan felt very sad.
Daddy was lonely, and it was a kind of loneliness that she couldn't be with.
Like an eagle that has lost its other half, it is extremely sluggish.
"Miss, it seems that Aunt Zhao's death... It's a big blow to Hou Ye. Qingshuang muttered quietly.
Mu Qianyan's eyes flashed when she heard this, yes, Zhao Qiongge's death hit her father very hard.
Especially when he learned why Zhao Qiongge died, his father must have felt guilty in his heart.
She knew Daddy too well.
"Master Hou is lonely... Why don't you give Hou Ye another concubine room?!"
Qingshuang seemed to be muttering to herself, and it seemed to be talking to her.
But this is quite disrespectful!
At least not something she can say casually!
is also in front of Mu Qianyan, can make her so 'open-mouthed'.
However, Mu Qianyan listened, and for a moment she agreed, thinking that Qingshuang's idea was feasible.
But not now, now my father has not completely come out of the grief of Zhao Qiongge's death.
Let's wait a little longer.
After a while, she was thinking about choosing a woman with both ability and integrity for her father!
"Qingshuang, you're worrying about more and more. ”
Mu Qianyan didn't blame Qingshuang openly, she knew that Qingshuang cared about her father.
But this girl's worries are getting wider and wider.
Even her father's private affairs have to worry about.
If her father hears this, it will inevitably be another board!
Qingshuang also seemed to realize that she had lost her words, and lowered her head knowingly, "The slave knows that she is wrong, the slave and the maid should not speak falsely, and please punish the young lady!"
Qingshuang frowned, she just felt that Hou Ye was in the prime of life, and his status was precious, if there was a suitable woman, marrying Hou Ye as a continuation, would not suffer a loss!
But she's a slave, these words aren't for her to say...
Hou Ye, although he never treats them harshly on weekdays.
But Hou Ye's rewards and punishments are clear, she doesn't want to eat Hou Ye's board anymore!
The last time she hit the board, she felt that her ass still hurt when she thought about it!
Qingshuang weakly admitted.
"Alright, when have I punished you? Mu Qianyan glanced at Qingshuang leisurely, and said punishment, when did she really punish this girl!
It made this girl more and more bold.
Just tap it properly.
"By the way, what did you just say that you found the secret?"
Mu Qianyan suddenly remembered again, did Qingshuang say that she had discovered some secret just now?
It's just that her father came and interrupted it.
Now you can say it.
Mu Qianyan looked at Qingshuang without squinting, waiting for her next step.
Speaking of this, Qingshuang immediately recovered, "Oh, this, the slave found ......"
In the end, what Qingshuang said in Mu Qianyan's ear was inaudible to others.
Mu Qianyan listened, and her eyes flashed with surprise, "Is this serious?"
"Miss, the slave maid followed in person, what she saw with her own eyes, can it be fake?" Qingshuang is not joking, she doesn't dare to joke about this kind of thing.
"Heh, Mu Ziqing has a good fate. Mu Qianyan sneered indifferently.
But so what?
Even if God gave Mu Ziqing a chance to turn over and set up her life, then she would have to pinch this opportunity.
"And the slave maid also heard that there has been no progress in the matter of General Du's private pockets! Phew, it's the abolished prince, and he has been staying in Kyoto, it seems that His Majesty has relented and withdrawn his will to send Youzhou!"
Qingshuang said another news she heard lightly.
It's good to just sigh that powerful people can be safe and sound, even if they commit heinous crimes!
If this were to be done by an indecent person like them...
Even if they make a mistake, they will not end well, let alone anger the king!
It seems that this royal law is not the royal law for everyone!
Qingshuang sighed heavily in her little head.
Sigh for herself, for those who are as powerless and humble as her.
"You, don't worry about the sky, in this world, there is no justice at all, and justice must be fought for by yourself. ”
Mu Qianyan glanced at the sighing frost with a cool face.
Under power, human life is like a mustard, how can justice come from?
If there is justice, then why did her mother die in vain?
It is said that justice is in the hearts of the people, but it is just a nice word.
Only those who are powerful are qualified to speak justice.
The law of the jungle is the justice of this world.
However, there is another kind of justice, which is to rely on oneself to win justice.
Like her.
She wants to get justice for her mother.
Even if the crown prince is deposed, he is still from a noble background, the eldest son of His Majesty, and the queen's own son, without the position of prince, how could the queen let him be sent to the bitter cold land of Youzhou?
So the prince couldn't go to Youzhou, Mu Qianyan was not surprised.
Even the crown prince only needs to make a pious repentance in the future, and then do more good things in front of His Majesty, maybe after a while, when the turmoil subsides, he can regain his favor.
Anything is possible.
But right now, Mu Ziqing's matter is more important than the matter of the abolished prince.
"Qingshuang, you go and do something for me. The corners of Mu Qianyan's mouth rose slightly, and the matter of 'marrying a sister' tomorrow is the top priority.
"Miss, please command!" Qingshuang listened seriously, every time Miss said this, it means that there is something important to do, and you can't be sloppy!
Mu Qianyan hooked her fingers, Qingshuang understood, and immediately stretched out her head.
After listening to Mu Qianyan's whisper, Qingshuang said, "The slave understands." ”
Mu Qianyan gradually deepened the smile on the corner of her mouth, tomorrow's Hongwang Mansion will be very lively.
