In the main hall of the Lin family, Hu's face was full of tears, "Shuozhou in the north is a cold place, Jing Qian is old, how can he go to such a place? I know that the case will be heard by three judges, and Lin Huai is alone It can’t be changed, that’s all, the place of exile can always be changed, right?”
The Chu family sighed, "It's not that I don't help, you also know that the three divisions will be interrogated. This time, all court officials who have been convicted will be severely punished. Jing Qian's crime has already been dealt with lightly for the face of our master. Although Shuozhou It's bitter cold, but after two years, it's not impossible to be transferred elsewhere, but at this juncture, how dare you act against the holy will?"
Mrs. Hu's expression suddenly changed when she heard this, she wiped away the tears on her face, and stared at Mrs. Chu with chills in her eyes, "I can see that Lin Huai is about to be promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, he is afraid that he will be punished by others." Let's get involved, needless to say about the friendship between our two families in the early years, now we are still engaged, Bo's face is not good-looking, and your face is also dull, you treat us so poorly, how dare I hand over Xian'er to you ?”
Seeing her being so indiscriminate, Mrs. Chu's eyes darkened angrily, "Master and Zhao'er have helped inquire many times earlier, but Bo Jingqian himself has dirty hands and feet, and the evidence is so strong that even the king of heaven and I can't save him! "Chu said with a sneer, "I don't care if you don't worry about it, the Lin family has been criticized for your affairs, and because of the friendship in the early years, they are always helpful and comforting, now you say you don't worry about it. Leave it to us? How? Do you want to regret the marriage? If you want to regret the marriage, then we have nothing to say, anyway, the wedding date is not yet fixed, we dare not delay Xianer's bright future!"
"aunt-"
Bao Yixian, who was guarding outside, entered the door with red eyes. She first glanced at Mrs. Hu angrily, and said hastily: "Auntie, don't be angry, it's mother talking nonsense. Uncle Lin and Brother Zhao have helped us many times. We I keep it all in my heart, my mother was rude just now, and I apologize to my aunt on my mother's behalf."
Mrs. Chu twisted the veil in her hands, and her anger was still there, but Mrs. Hu was dissatisfied with her daughter's being so low-key, "Xian'er, you—"
"Mother, stop talking." Bao Yixian turned around, with a stern look on her usually obedient face.
Mrs. Hu was stared at by her, but she couldn't say a word, and Bo Yixian blessed Chu again, "We are bothering you today, Xian'er takes mother home first, and will visit her aunt another day to make amends. "
Chu felt a throbbing pain in her heart, and waved her hands, "Go, go."
Bo Yixian apologized again, and dragged Hu towards the door. Hu staggered, but hated Bao Yixian, "What are you doing! You're heading towards the Lin family, aren't you? Your father only went to Shuobei I'm afraid I'll lose my life! Why are you so unfilial—"
"Mother! Shut up!" Bao Yixian yelled, with anger in her eyes.
She dragged Mrs. Hu onto the carriage and couldn't help but push Mrs. Hu, "Did mother lose her head and talk to Aunt Lin like that! Now that my father is in such a situation, how can mother still Do you want to make trouble about your daughter's marriage?"
Bao Yixian looked fierce, and Hu looked at Bao Yixian blankly, not understanding how her good daughter became like this, she burst into tears, "I am doing this for whom, I am not for your father, the Lin family and our We're engaged, shouldn't we help us? Lin Huai is the majestic servant of the Ministry of Punishment, I don't believe he can't do anything!"
But Bao Yixian's eyes became colder, "Mother, in this case, you should just think about it in your heart. In two days, you will honestly go to the Lin family to apologize. Without father, the Lin family is our reliance. We must firmly How can you make them unhappy if you catch the Lin family? Also, the marriage between Brother Zhao and I was settled a long time ago, if you mess with me, don't blame me for not recognizing you as a mother!"
Bo Yixian's eyes were determined, and Hu's shocked face showed fear. She also felt that she could not make enemies with the Lin family, but she thought that the Lin family could help but would not help, and she still hated her teeth. In the future, her husband will be a guilty minister. The honor of the eldest lady of the family will only get farther and farther away from the Chu family. Thinking of this, Hu family covered her heart and howled again.
Seeing this, Bao Yixian burst into tears, and she was even more afraid in her heart. This marriage was preempted. Now that the big house of the Bo family has fallen into such a land, if the Lin family wants to regret the marriage, it is really easy. Even losing her marriage with Lin Zhao, what is left of her
In Lin's mansion, Mrs. Chu was lying on the couch with her heart in her hands, her complexion was very ugly. After Lin Huai and Lin Zhao returned, they heard that Mrs. Hu's mother and daughter came to the mansion again today, their complexions were slightly gloomy.
Chu's face was still full of anger, "It's true that they let their mother and daughter say all the good and bad things. It was nothing for the master to run for them earlier. Now that Bo Jingqian is in prison and convicted, it is all our fault. Our Lin family is with them. Engagement, even before we get married, we should talk about some reasoning even after we get married, it’s just because of one marriage, we have to rely on us for everything, but if there’s anything that doesn’t suit us, it’s because we’re afraid of being implicated She didn't put her heart into it, and her mother also said, so she didn't feel at ease handing over Xian'er to us."
Chu took a breath, her chest was still hurting, "Listen to this, they are in such a situation now, we haven't said anything yet, but she said this. Although she used to think she was petite and cared about face, but she didn't care about it." Weijue is such an arrogant and unreasonable person, now that I know about it, she doesn't have to worry about it, but now I'm still worried that if Xian'er really gets married, we will have endless troubles."
Chu went to visit Lin Zhao after finishing speaking, and saw that his son was handsome and elegant, young and heroic, and he would be able to become a marquis and worship minister in the future, but now, he wanted to marry the daughter of the most courtier, and immediately felt a golden light flashing in front of his eyes, " Ouch, I really can't listen to her words, if I have such in-laws, I'm afraid I will lose ten years of my life."
Seeing this, Lin Zhao hurriedly stepped forward to pour tea for Mrs. Chu, Lin Huai stood with his hands behind his back, with a serious expression on his face, "But this marriage is known all over the city, and if I regret the marriage now, I can't do such a thing. "
Chu could not help but look at Lin Zhao, "Zhaoer, what do you think?"
Compared to the Chu family, Lin Zhao's expression is normal, "Mother, don't worry, Bo Shibo is exiled, but Bo Shi still has some family background, but there is no one in the family who is an official in the court. Since this marriage has been settled for many years, we are now To regret a marriage is to break one's faith."
Chu hesitated to speak, "I don't want to be that dishonest person, it's just... It's just that her parents are useless, so don't underestimate the Yue family, in case they drag you down..."
Lin Zhao held his lips, "Everyone has been exiled to Shuozhou, and there is nothing to be burdened with. Mother, don't take Aunt Bo's words to heart. She really doesn't know how to be polite. Mother should not get sick because of this."
Seeing Lin Zhao's words, the Chu family went to see Lin Huai again, and Lin Huai sighed, "My son knows the truth, so you don't need to ask me."
Chu only felt the bitterness of swallowing Coptis chinensis in her mouth, but this bitterness was the introduction that was planted back then, and now she has no other choice but to suffer, and she thought of what Cheng Yunzhi said back then, it was really a prophecy, only It's a pity that I didn't have the heart to tear up the face with the eldest son of the Bo family to change the marriage back, otherwise I wouldn't have to be so depressed today!
When the Bolin family was in trouble, Bo Ruoyou was looking for craftsmen in the city to plant flowers in the new house.
The previous owner of the new house lived here seven or eight years ago, and was also confiscated because of a crime. Although the back house is under the control of the inner government, it has been neglected. Now the house has been repaired and has a new look, but the scenery in the house is quite beautiful. Depression, especially now in the early autumn season, it is even more withered, the yamen is fine, so Bo Ruoyou started to decorate the courtyard.
Being so busy, he went to visit Huo Qinghong in Marquis Wuzhao's mansion every day. He was a bit sleepy, but now he has energy, but he still doesn't want to open his mouth. This day, Bo Ruoyou sent Cheng Yunzhi after he gave the acupuncture treatment. The freshly made incense pill was lit, and seeing him leaning on the couch in a daze, he couldn't help sighing, "Master Hou has been away from Beijing for more than a month, why is your son still unwilling to speak?"
Huo Qinghong raised his eyes to look at her, the corners of his lips were tightly pursed again, and Bo Ruoyou stepped forward, "Hou Ye is now banning gold ointment in the southwest, and when he wrote the letter, he was thinking about the son, but the son has regained some energy in the past few days. How about sending a letter to the southwest so that Lord Hou can feel at ease?"
Huo Qinghong looked up at her again, frowning slightly, as if he was impatient to hear her words, Bo Ruoyou shook his head, "The son is still a child at heart-"
"Why is it a child's heart?" Huo Qinghong was quite dissatisfied.
Bo Ruoyou took the time to look at him, "Your Majesty has been quite depressed for the past three months. One is because of the poisoning and the other is that he said something to the Lord Hou when the poison broke out. Later, he felt ashamed and felt ashamed. Face to Lord Hou, right?"
Huo Qinghong hesitated to speak, but Bo Ruoyou didn't argue with him, and said directly: "My son is two years older than me, and he is also a man. If you really have any complaints, you should speak out to Master Hou—"
"I don't-"
"Whether there is or not, the son is the most beloved brother of Lord Hou. Don't say that he just said something wrong for a while, or he did something wrong. He also protects the son more than criticizes him. This son understands this better than me."
Huo Qinghong gritted his teeth, "Of course I understand, you don't need to say it."
Bo Ruoyou pulled her lips, but quickly showed seriousness, "I really don't need to say it, the prince understands it in his heart, but he just holds back his temper, but now the Marquis is stuck in the southwest, and there are dangers around him, and the prince is in the capital. His face is full of sadness all day long, which really makes others anxious..."
An anxious look appeared between his brows and eyes, "Did brother have trouble in the southwest?"
Bo Ruoyou spread her hands, "I don't know, I haven't received a letter from Lord Hou for many days, but I heard that many officials from the Southwest clan were involved, and even bandits were involved, and the gold ointment is a business for the rich, so you can imagine I know how many people don't like Hou Ye to go to investigate, but there are those who are desperate, no matter how famous Hou Ye is, I'm afraid they can't be suppressed."
Huo Qinghong stood up, "Brother is unbeatable on the battlefield, how can he be restrained in the southwest?"
Bo Ruoyou was about to leave, but she couldn't help turning around when she heard the words, "That night, the Marquis was injured in the eldest princess's mansion, and the eldest princess suddenly became ill, stabbed the marquis with a hairpin, and the marquis was supporting the eldest princess , I could have avoided it, but I didn't dare to let go, so I got hit hard."
Huo Qinghong was shocked when he heard it, as if he never thought that Huo Weilou would be injured because of this, Bo Ruoyou said in a slow voice, "No matter how invincible Hou Ye is, he is still a body of flesh and blood, and the sharp knife of someone close to him will hurt you." Seeing him, there is an opportunity to take advantage of the dark arrows of evil spirits, as for the government and the public, the prince should know more about his difficulties than me, a woman."
Huo Qinghong's pupils trembled slightly, although he didn't realize how compelling Bo Ruoyou's expression was, but it was those black pupils that seemed to state the facts that made him feel ashamed rushing up in his heart, his face turned blue and red for a while, and it was difficult to deal with himself.
Bo Ruoyou sighed softly, "It's good to have a rest, and come to see Shizi tomorrow."
After she finished speaking, she left. Huo Qinghong looked up for a moment, but only saw her gentle and straight back slowly going away.
Now that they have moved into a new house, it is only one stick of incense away from Wu Zhaohou's mansion. When they got into the carriage, Bo Ruoyou counted on her fingers. It was true that she hadn't received a letter from Huo Weilou for twelve days. Her heart couldn't help but hang up .
The carriage returned home slowly, and when it was outside the door, Bo Ruoyou saw Wu Xiang's figure. Wu Xiang was wandering outside the door. When she turned around and saw her carriage coming back, she immediately looked slightly relieved, "Fortunately, you are back, I was afraid that I would make a mistake." place!"
It was the first time for Wu Xiang to come here, and Bo Ruoyou helped Cheng Yun get off the carriage before asking: "Why did you catch the head?"
Wu Xiang grasped the saber at his waist, "There is a case."
Hearing that Cheng Yunzhi's expression changed slightly, Bo Ruoyou invited Wu Xiang into the gate of the mansion, ordered Zhou Liang to fetch the autopsy equipment while listening to him explain the case, Wu Xiang said: "The case happened in the nunnery outside the city. It is a nun who is practicing on behalf of the nunnery, and it seems that she has been dead for many days... "
