When the three of them entered the Hou Mansion, they were taken to the main hall, and after a while, Zhang Wen walked in.

Seeing Zhang Wen, Li Hao hurriedly wanted to ask what the attitude of the Ninghou couple was.

But before Li Hao could speak, Huininghou and his wife walked in from behind, and Li Hao and the others had to salute and say hello, and then sit down separately.

After everyone sat down, Hui Ninghou opened his mouth and first asked everyone about their lives in the camp, looking kind and dignified.

Then, under Li Hao's compliments, he began to guide everyone as an elder.

A few people chatted and chatted farther and farther, and Li Hao thought that he could escape the catastrophe.

But Zhang Wen's mother, Mrs. Song, saw that her husband was too far off topic, so she directly interrupted.

said: "Master Hou, the concubines don't understand the affairs of the army, so it's better for him to be free in the future, so I invite them to talk about it alone."

It's important to get down to business today, right? ”

Hearing Mrs. Song's words, Zhang Kaicai reflected and said, "Yes, yes, yes, it's to do the right thing first." ”

So he looked at Li Hao and said, "I heard Zhang Wen say, you helped him introduce a good marriage when you went south this time, I don't know if there is such a thing." ”

As soon as they heard this, Li Hao and the three of them were a little at a loss, Gu Tingye and Li Hao knew the truth, but now they didn't expect Zhang Wen to put the burden on Li Hao.

And Yang Wenyuan was really confused by the different words on both sides.

At this time, Li Hao subconsciously glanced at Zhang Wen, and found that he was secretly waving his hand lightly below, and immediately guessed that Zhang Kai might be cheating on himself.

He said: "The cause of this incident is indeed related to me, but the development of the incident is definitely not intentional on my part. ”

Then Li Hao told the story from beginning to end, and until Li Hao finished speaking, the two did not speak, but just looked at Li Hao quietly.

However, what Li Hao said was the truth, and he looked at the two of them with confidence.

After being silent for a while, Mrs. Song said: "Originally, Wen'er liked it, and Hou Ye and I didn't want to stop it.

But although my family does not seek to be noble, the daughter of a merchant is inevitably too different. ”

Regarding the words of Mrs. Song, Li Hao said: "Of course, family lineage is a very important aspect, but it is not absolute, marrying a wife should be virtuous, and there are three generations of virtuous wives in the family."

Miss Pinlan has a bold temperament, is intelligent, kind, and sensible, which is also obvious to all.

At this point, Gu Tingye and Yang Wenyuan, they also met with Miss Pinlan in Youyang. ”

Hearing Li Hao say this, Zhang Kai and Mrs. Song looked at Yang Wenyuan together, waiting for Yang Wenyuan to give an answer.

When he saw that he needed to express his position, Yang Wenyuan was not ambiguous, and directly vouched for what Li Hao said.

Gu Tingye next to him also spoke when he saw this, and Gu Tingye's biological mother was also from a merchant family, so she used herself as an example to explain and beautify herself, and by the way, she also said some good things for Pinlan.

After listening to what everyone said, I was looking at the faces of Zhang Kai and Mrs. Song.

Li Hao found that there seemed to be a drama in this matter, so he proposed: "In fact, no matter what we say, the news we get from other people's mouths is not very accurate.

It's better to find an opportunity for the eldest lady to meet Miss Pinlan in person, and you will know how she is at first sight. ”

Hearing this, Li asked curiously: "How do you want to see this, do you still want us to go to Youyang." ”

Li Hao explained: "This is naturally not, and before this matter is decided, it is not good to make any moves, so as not to miss the reputation of the two families."

My idea is that the old lady of the Sheng family in Jiying Lane is now on her way back to Beijing, and when the old lady returns to Bianjing, I will ask the old lady to help and invite Miss Pinlan to come to Beijing for a visit, so that the eldest lady can see it with her own eyes. ”

Hearing Li Hao's words, Mrs. Song replied: "The way you said is okay, but I won't embarrass you, I'll go to Sheng Mansion in person and ask the old lady for help." ”

Li Hao knew in his heart that he still didn't believe what a few people said, and wanted to ask like an old lady in person. So he said: "Thank you for your understanding, then when Mrs. Sheng returns to Bianjing, I will inform the eldest lady." ”

At this point, this topic is temporarily over, and after chatting with a few people, Mrs. Song left.

Then Li Hao found a reason to leave, and Yang Wenyuan and Gu Tingye left with Li Hao.

Zhang Wen sent them out, and on the way out, Li Hao asked Zhang Wen why Zhang Kai deceived himself at the beginning.

Zhang Wen explained: "Fortunately, you just told the truth, my parents are a little suspicious, you deliberately want to meddle in my family's affairs, afraid that you have any bad intentions."

It's a good thing you reacted quickly, otherwise it would have been terrible if you had answered incorrectly. ”

After listening to Zhang Wen's words, Li Hao suddenly realized that they were worried that they were interfering in the affairs of the Marquis of Huining Mansion in this way.

However, for their worries, although Li Hao does not like this, he can understand it.

After saying goodbye to Zhang Wen, they went home.

Then Li Hao got the news from the stone in Zhang Wen's chattering from time to time that Mrs. Sheng and Minglan had arrived in Bianjing.

So Li Hao asked Zhang Wen to bring the news back, and as for the next thing, Li Hao could only let Zhang Wen ask for more blessings.

However, Mrs. Song didn't have time yet, and when she went to see Mrs. Sheng, Li Hao saw Minglan at home.

By the time Li Hao arrived, Minglan had already finished asking questions like Lang Zhong, and was sitting in the hall and fell into deep thought.

In the other room, only Fluttershy, Wei, and Li Jian are in the room, and no one else is seen.

It wasn't until Li Hao entered the house and approached that Wei found out that Li Hao had returned.

So when Li Hao sat down, Wei told him what had just happened, and showed Li Hao Lang Zhong's testimony.

Of course, Li Hao knows all this, just to cover it up.

After pretending to read it, Li Hao asked, "Cousin, how are you going to deal with this matter?" ”

Before Minglan could speak, Wei said: "What is there to ask about this, killing people to pay for their lives, debts to pay back, Lin Yushuang killed your aunt, naturally you should be severely punished." ”

Li Hao said: "It is not difficult to punish Lin Yushuang, as long as you hand over the envelope to Kaifeng Mansion, with a witness confession, I will ask Lord Ouyang to investigate strictly, Lin Yushuang will not escape death."

But in this case, can my cousin really let go of the Sheng family's honor and disgrace? ”

After listening to Li Hao's words, Minglan finally came back to her senses.

said: "There is no hurry in advance, when I go back to test my father's intentions, it is best to solve the matter in the Sheng family, and don't really go to court." ”

After saying a few words of appeasement to Wei, he was about to get up and say goodbye.

Seeing that Minglan was leaving, Li Hao said that he would send Minglan out, and waited out of the main hall to the courtyard.

Because now there is no message from Shangyuan Festival, and there is no thank you banquet from Marquis Ning Yuan, Li Hao can no longer grasp the direction of Minglan and Qi Heng.

In addition, there was no Pingning County Lord to open the topic this time, and Li Hao didn't know if Minglan would really encounter danger, so he wanted to explain.

Li Hao saw that there was no one around, so he stopped Minglan and asked, "After my cousin returns to Beijing, will he still have contact with Qi Hengke?" ”

Minglan replied: "What is my cousin asking for?" ”

Li Hao didn't answer, but asked again: "My cousin should have heard about Rong Feiyan after she came back, and my cousin knows why she died." ”

Hearing this, Minglan was even more confused.

So Li Hao said to himself: "Rong Feiyan and the county lord of Jiacheng are both devoted to Qi Heng and intend to get married.

This was mentioned by the Rong family in advance, and then King Yong also mentioned it, and then it didn't take long for the Shangyuan Festival to happen. ”

Hearing this, Minglan 's eyes flickered, and her voice trembled a little and said, "You mean ......, didn't you say anything that you didn't find out?" ”

Li Hao replied: "Of course I can't find out, the matter of the official family heir is imminent, who dares to investigate at this time, who can find out."

I am talking to my cousin about this today, just to let her understand her situation and pay attention to safety.

In addition, I have to ask my cousin to rot in my heart, so don't talk about it and listen to others. ”

Knowing these two news in one day, Minglan felt that she was in a trance, and she left the Li Mansion in a daze and got into the carriage.

When she returned to Dusk Cangzhai, Minglan lay quietly on the bed, thinking about it for a while.
