Chapter 46: Zong Zhengtang's marriage
Three days later –
Huan Ci looked at his still incomplete face in the mirror unhappily, and hated to peel off Yan Sheng and cramp it himself.
Those Yong people suffered heavy casualties, and Wan Yansheng was also handed over to Fu Shen by Hu Yanli.
Zong Zhengyuan chose to calm the matter and only hold the troublemakers responsible, and as for the other Yong people, they were recalled by their emperor to Yong State.
The first people to disapprove of the outcome of this matter were the people. As a reasonable party, Zong Zhengyuan's decision was really incomprehensible to them, but their protests were of no avail.
Huan Yuan, who had just defeated the Yong army, was also furious, but now the army needed to rest, and the slightest carelessness might cause another war, so he had to swallow his anger.
He wrote a letter to Huan Ci, telling her to be more careful in the future, and now the reply is already on the way, but he doesn't know it yet.
At this time, Huan Ci carefully applied ointment to his face, and scolded the eighteen generations of Zong Zhengyuan's ancestors in his heart.
If he hadn't lured the wolf into the house, where would this have happened?
"County Lord, I'm going to leave immediately." The maid outside the door told the newspaper.
After sighing almost inaudibly, Huan Ci gently put on his makeup.
When this happened, the officials in Puzhou did not dare to keep them any longer. Her father also advised her to return to Beijing as soon as possible to marry Zong Zheng, and there was no need to rush to see him.
Now that I'm going back, Huan Ci is a little lost. After being rescued, she has been recuperating from her injuries and has never seen Fu Shen again. I heard that his injuries were very serious, and thanks to her gold sore medicine, otherwise his life would not have been saved.
Now that he's back, the plan has to go on. What happened that day was all a dream.
Huan Ci pulled out a decent smile in the mirror, and then got up and opened the door.
"Pack your things and go." She said to the maid outside the door.
However, after a stick of incense, the two of them came out of the side door of the Governor's Mansion one after the other.
Zong Zhengtang had already gotten into the carriage, and Fu Shen was standing beside the carriage talking to her through the curtain.
Since returning that day, she has not looked very happy. Huan Ci thought that she was stimulated by killing someone, so he wanted to enlighten her. But every time I talked to her, she always smiled very brightly, and she couldn't see anything unusual at all.
Fu Shen was the first to see her, and glanced at her from a distance.
Somehow, Huan Ci felt a sense of weakness, and hurriedly lowered his eyes and walked to the carriage behind him.
"Sister Huan." Zong Zhengtang suddenly lifted the curtain and stopped her.
Everyone was looking at her for a while, and Huan Ci had no choice but to step forward.
"What's wrong?" She asked, lifting the hem of her skirt.
"Here's for you, eat on the way." Zong Zhengtang handed out a box of things from the car, and the person next to him hurriedly took it and handed it to her.
Huan Ci was a little surprised, what good things were worth her personal trip.
"Thank you."
She thanked her and turned to leave, but the man behind her suddenly spoke.
"Thanks to the county lord's medicine, Fu has only picked up a life, and he is really grateful."
"Not necessarily." Huan Ci turned around and smiled at him, but his eyes were a little evasive.
"Thank you for your hospitality these days." Zong Zhengtang poked his head out and said.
Huan Ci nodded on the side, like pounding garlic.
Fu Shen looked at the top of her black head meaningfully, and said lightly: "I don't think I can go back to Beijing, congratulations on your new marriage in advance." ”
Huan Ci's smile froze on her face, but she immediately came back to her senses and thanked her very unnaturally.
"Although you can't arrive, the gift will always be delivered." She joked at the corners of her mouth.
"Don't worry." The man whispered.
It's a pity that Huan Ci didn't dare to look at him, and happened to miss his intriguing look.
"Then we'll go first." Huan Ci looked up at him and smiled, and when he saw him nod, he turned around and went to the carriage behind him.
The team marched slowly, and in a few moments it was several feet away.
Fu Shen watched the carriage drifting away, and his eyes became deeper and deeper.
"You really surprised me." Suddenly a man behind him said.
Fu Shen ignored this and walked straight back.
Zong Zhenglu, who was ignored by him, did not have the slightest anger, lowered his head and smiled self-deprecatingly, and followed him to the mansion.
"You shouldn't have come out." Fu Shen walked in front and said to the man behind him.
"What are you afraid of?" Zong Zhenglu's smile became even more insolent.
Fu Shen tilted his head and looked sideways: "It's good if you're not afraid." ”
"This king is naturally not afraid. What if Zong Zhengtou knew I was here? I think he's too busy to take care of himself. It's funny that you, who are so badly injured, actually have to send her personally. ”
"It's not as good as Your Highness."
Zong Zhenglu's face finally changed, and he crossed him to other places with a cold face.

After returning to Yingdu, Huan Ci was taken to the Empress Dowager's palace.
After more than half a month of recuperation, her injuries have long been healed.
These days, she has to get up early every day to learn the rules. That's it, what makes her even more worried is that she has to eat with the Queen Mother every day.
Fortunately, two days later, Zong Zhengtang also moved here to live, which gave her a companion to laugh and play.
On this day, Huan Ci, as usual, first went to learn the rules of the middle of the morning, and then went to the Queen Mother's bedroom for lunch.
However, as soon as she entered the hall, she saw Zong Zhengtang's red and swollen eyes, as well as the Queen Mother's angry and worried expression.
Without Zong Zhengtang's jokes, this meal was extraordinarily long.
After finally withdrawing the meal, Huan Ci thought that he could finally go back, but who knew that the Queen Mother suddenly spoke.
"Huan girl, you stay, I have something to say to you."
Huan Ci turned his head to look at Zong Zhengtang, only to see her figure pause, and then walked out quickly.
After following the queen mother to the east room, all the eunuchs and palace maids in the house withdrew.
Huan Ci was a little surprised for a while, and looked at the Queen Mother suspiciously.
The Queen Mother sighed deeply and said, "Tang'er has reached the age of marriage, I helped her find a good family, but she didn't want to, and I don't know what to do as a mother?" ”
I don't know why the Queen Mother said this with her, Huan Ci frowned, and asked, "I don't know which one you are talking about?" ”
"It's not another family, it's Su Xiang's eldest son, my nephew."
Huan resigned.
Presumably, if she didn't appear, the Queen Mother originally planned to let Zong Zhengche marry Su Wanling. Su is in a high position, and it is natural for Zong Zhengche to want to pull him into the gang. However, when she came, they tried to win both sides together. Now that she has joined forces with Zong Zhengche, they refuse to give up Su Xiang, so they naturally hit Zong Zhengtang with their abacus.
But Zong Zhengtang has an intention of Fu Shen, and anyone with a discerning eye must be able to see it.
Huan Ci had long known that she would not be able to do this, not to mention that the Queen Mother did not agree, even Zong Zhengyuan would definitely jump out to oppose it.
