Because of Fang Shi's words, the steward of the Fang Mansion did not let people prepare a carriage or a sedan chair, so he specially went to change into coarse cloth clothes and quietly left the house through the back door.

He walked in a hurry, holding the wooden box and booklet given to him by Fang Shi tightly in his arms, and he actually arrived at the Xuanping Marquis Mansion one step ahead of the Lu family.

The steward handed the token to the subordinate at the back door of the Xuanping Marquis's mansion, indicating that he had come on order and had something important to see the Xuanping Hou.

The subordinates in the house did not dare to delay, and after returning the token, they went straight to the front yard.

It just so happened that Xuanping Hou was also in the mansion at this moment.

"Master, the steward in the second aunt's mansion is here, saying that he came on the orders of the second aunt, and he has something important to see."

Xuan Pinghou was a little surprised for a while.

A few months ago, Fang Shi took advantage of the night to see him.

On that day, Fang Shi told all about the four princes' desire to force the palace to rebel, and then persuaded him to cut off the connection with the four princes as soon as possible, and alienate Fang Fu from the outside world, so that he could retreat.

He was still a little reluctant, after all, when he married his second daughter to Fang Shi, the Xuanping Marquis Mansion was tied to the fourth prince.

If it is true that the four princes forced the palace to rebel, he will take advantage of this to get along, and when the great cause is successful, the status of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion will definitely rise.

But Fang Shi's anti-water attitude was very clear, and what he said was also reasonable, which inevitably made him hesitate a little, and after thinking about it again, he still listened to it.

Later, the fourth prince really failed to force the palace to rebel, and he was glad that he did not forget to follow Fang Shi's words and continue to alienate Fang Mansion.

And Fang Shi's side has not sent anyone to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.

This time, he suddenly ordered the steward to come, could it be that something happened to Fang Shi's side?

Xuanping Hou was dissatisfied with his wife because he had no sons-in-law, but he did not ignore several concubines because of this.

On the contrary, he was heartbroken for several concubines, especially their marriage, which he carefully compared and considered suitable from all aspects before agreeing to the decision.

It's just that he is not good at expressing himself, and in the eyes of others, he doesn't seem to pay much attention to his daughters.

Just like this, after Xuan Pinghou thought that something might have happened to Fang Shi's side, he was first worried about the safety of his second daughter and granddaughter.

But his face was still calm and calm, and he asked his subordinates to bring people over.

The subordinate received the order, withdrew, and after a while, he brought the steward over.

The steward was also in a hurry, and as soon as the servant left, he knelt down, his hands raised high, and the wooden box and booklet in his palms.

"The slave was ordered by the master to send these two things to the Hou Ye."

Xuanping Hou's eyes narrowed slightly, picked up the top booklet, opened it and looked at it twice, and was surprised.

At the beginning, the dowry for his daughter was chosen by him and his wife, and at a glance, he knew that it was his daughter's dowry book, but it was different.

There are a lot of things in it that you don't have before...

He closed the book, threw it on the table beside him, and took the wooden box.

The wooden box has a mechanism, and the lid is directly locked, and it can only be opened unless the mechanism is found.

Speaking of which, this wooden box was given to Fang Shi by Xuanping Hou at the beginning.

While fiddling with the mechanism, he said, "Did your master ask you to bring a message to this marquis?" ”

The steward couldn't help but be anxious and shook his head, "The master didn't let the slave talk, but the master said that if the slave arrives at the Hou Mansion first, he will tell the Hou master."

He has arranged for his wife and eldest lady to come to the Hou Mansion, and he also hopes that the Hou Ye will see the father-daughter relationship between him and his wife for many years, and allow their mother and daughter a place to stay. ”

Xuan Pinghou opened the wooden box for a moment, his face was a little ugly, he opened the wooden box, took out the letters inside, and snorted coldly.

"What is he doing with Ben Hou, the father-in-law!"

The steward bowed his head and did not dare to speak.

Xuan Pinghou looked at the letter unfolded in his hand, only read a few lines, and his face changed instantly.

The fluttering letter paper suddenly became a hot potato, and he threw it back into the wooden box.

Xuan Pinghou took several deep breaths, calming down his inner emotions a little.

He said that why Fang Shi was so clean and neat when he turned against the water, he chose another master.

It's a pity that one son made a mistake and lost all the games.

It's just that he never thought that Fang Shixuan's new master was the prince.

After all, that person's sense of presence is really too low.

But when you think about it, it's not surprising.

After all, they are all deceived by that person today, and the other princes are all officials in the court, but that person is the only one who has been arranged to enter the Black Armor Guard, although his position is not high, he is inconspicuous among many princes, but the Black Armor Guard is the emperor's personal guard...

It can be seen that his mind is deep.

It's just that that person is inevitably too ruthless, Fang Shi joined his command, although the time is not long, but it is not enough to say that he will give up...

The Xuanping Marquis Mansion held a wooden box.

There's so much involved in this that it's a hot potato.

He really chose a good husband for his second daughter, and before he died, he didn't forget to lay out the layout, and counted him, his father-in-law...

Xuanping Hou was angry and glad for his second daughter, he said angrily: "Go back and tell your master that even if the daughter of Xuanping Houfu is married, she is also a member of Xuanping Houfu." ”

The steward was in a hurry to return home, and after listening to it, he immediately understood the meaning of Xuanpinghou's words, and he kowtowed three times to Xuanpinghou.

"The slave thanked the master for my family."

The steward got up and wanted to leave, but suddenly remembered that although his wife had returned to the Hou Mansion, she had been sent back in a coma.

If you wake up, I'm afraid you'll find a way to go back to the house.

The lord would rather knock out the lady and send the lady back to the Hou Mansion, obviously wanting to save the lady's life.

So the steward said, "The slave has one more thing......

After the lord returned to the house, he arranged for the lady and the eldest lady to return to the Hou mansion, but the lady was unwilling, and the lord had no choice but to knock out the lady..."

Xuan Pinghou thought of his daughter's temperament, his brows furrowed slightly, and his face became a little solemn, "This Hou knows about this matter, as long as she and Sister Lian enter the Hou Mansion, they will not have a chance to go out." ”

The steward breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "The slave retired." ”

Xuan Pinghou looked at the back of the steward who left in a hurry, and was silent for a while.

He lowered his eyes, looked at the wooden box, turned and went to the study, and let his subordinates stay outside.

Then, he sat down at his desk, took out the letters in the wooden box, and suddenly he saw a deed.

Xuanping Hou was slightly stunned, and then snorted coldly angrily: "He is thoughtful." ”

It's just that he didn't plan for himself and fought for a glimmer of life for himself.

Xuan Pinghou thought of this, and felt a little angry in his heart.

He took a book in his hand and held down the letter, then went out with the deed of release, and said a few words to one of the men at the door.

The subordinate received the order, took the deed, and left the house in a hurry.

At the same time, another person came to report that the second lady had returned to the house with the little lady, and the carriage was waiting at the side gate of the Hou Mansion at the moment.

Xuanping Hou was suddenly distracted, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to open the side door, lead the Lu family's carriage into the mansion, and lead them to the small courtyard before the Lu family got married, and he went over later.

The subordinate received the order, and Xuanping Hou went back to the study and put the letter back in the wooden box.

Xuanping Hou covered the wooden box, got up after repeatedly confirming that the wooden box was locked, hid the wooden box in the secret compartment of the study, and then tidied up the desk casually and went out.

Before leaving, he did not forget to instruct his subordinates not to leave half a step in front of the door of the study, nor to let anyone enter the study.
