Mrs. Ping stood outside Master Hou's study, hesitated for a long time, finally gritted her teeth, raised her head and stepped into the courtyard.
In the inner courtyard, Lord Hou was still discussing some matters with the people below. Seeing her coming, those subordinates left with excellent eyesight.
Seeing Lord Hou's displeasure, Mrs. Ping was also flustered.
But thinking of Brother Yu's big event, he hardened his heart and took the initiative to bring it up.
"Master Hou, it's been a long time since you had a meal with my servant."
This faint complaint made Murong Nanshan a little embarrassed. Recently, he mostly went to the new concubine's room in each house, and the house of the singing girl Shouma. Even for normal meals, he was with those singing girls. It seemed that he really didn't spend much time with these older women.
His face softened, he waved, and Madam Ping obediently went over.
Nestled in the arms of the Hou Ye. "Master Hou, I still remember that when I first entered the mansion, you praised me, saying that I am gentle and dignified. In a flash, our Brother Yu has grown so big."
Murong Qiuyu!
Hearing her mentioning the son's name, Hou Ye's expression softened a little. "Brother Yu has grown more and more over the years. It is said that he is successful in his studies in the academy. The last time he met someone from the academy, he praised Brother Yu for being good." In fact, that person praised the most. It was the one from Jiaochi Garden. But he ignored those words automatically.
"Ahem... But that's not it. Brother Yu can be regarded as a moderately successful person now. In terms of academics, I heard from the masters of the college that he is not bad. However, Brother Yu is also grown up now. Let me think about it, or I have to book a good marriage for him. Lord Hou, what do you think?"
When this matter was mentioned, Mrs. Ping became nervous.
What kind of girl to order Yu Ge'er, that means, which level Hou Ye will put Yu Ge'er to train. If not, then all she will fight for will be the wind.
As her body became weaker and weaker, the things she was unwilling to do now became more and more. Therefore, it has become inevitable to order a good marriage for the children of one's own birth.
Murong Nanshan stared closely at the woman in front of him, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts if they had any substance. Even though she has been married to this man for nearly twenty years, at this moment, Mrs. Ping still feels terrified. But for the sake of her children, she must hold on.
Hou Ye looked at her holding her breath and kept herself from coughing. His eyes softened a little.
"You have really worked hard these years. You have worked so hard to raise those children and teach them to be educated and sensible. You are a good woman. It's just that your blessing is still a little bit worse."
Mrs. Ping tightly gripped the hand inside the armhole, her heart was bleeding slowly, she tried to endure it, not letting herself choke out.
"What you said about brother Yu, I will make a good marriage. But now, the matter between Princess Chaoyang and me must also be brought up."
"Ahem..."
Even though she had been on guard for a long time, when she heard the substantive news, Mrs. Ping still coughed out of discomfort.
Hearing the woman's continuous coughing, and watching her face turn from red to blue, and finally, it seemed that the red turned black, Murong Nanshan was also taken aback. This woman has been getting weaker and weaker in recent years, and he still knows a thing or two. However, aging to such an extent was unexpected.
After finally calming down, Mrs. Ping looked at Murong Nanshan and smiled sadly.
"Master Hou, what I look forward to the most is to be with you... to grow old together. Now, look at it, it's not going to work."
Murong Nanshan raised his eyebrows in displeasure, "How did this happen? How did your health get so bad all these years? Good medicine and good things are the first to cling to you..."
He was about to continue, but he saw Mrs. Ping raising her hand, and Kong Kong made a stop gesture. After this, Murong Nanshan couldn't continue talking.
He stared blankly at the woman's raised hands. Those hands were full of muscles and veins, and it was not an exaggeration to describe them as skinny. It turned out that before he knew it, the women who accompanied him back then were all so old that they couldn't live on earth.
Inexplicably, he thought of Mrs. Ping's kindness back then, and also thought of some of the things she had worked so hard over the years.
"Master Hou, what I'm most worried about right now is Brother Yu and Yuan'er's marriage. Please, Lord Hou, for the sake of my hard work in raising children for you, please allow them a good marriage. .Besides, I won't force it anymore."
She can't force it.
Looking at the woman's body that was about to fall anytime and anywhere, but a pair of eyes looked at him very persistently. At this moment, Murong Nanshan's heart was filled with various complicated emotions.
He closed his eyes fiercely, "Dongpinghou's eldest daughter, I plan to find someone to talk to Xiang personally."
The eldest daughter of Dongping Hou, if such a noble relative becomes successful, it will be a big attachment. At this moment, Mrs. Ping really smiled.
"Thank you... Lord Hou..."
"Yuan'er... the son of Lord Yan Yunsi will also be her home."
Master Salt Transport.
That was a marriage of money. At this moment, Mrs. Ping really felt that God treated her well. She was almost prostrate on the ground, "Thank you... Lord Hou..."
"Let's go down."
After Master Hou gave an order, he called someone to help Sima Pingying down.
After she left, Murong Nanshan remained silent for a long time.
Inexplicably, I thought of a lot of the past.
When Mrs. Ping entered the mansion, the one in Jiaochi Garden was about to wither. At that time, she was still the main wife, and even if she was about to die, she never said a word of compromise with him. In the end, when her body was found in the backyard, he was so angry that he ignored the child from then on. It's just that, over the years, the more he evaded in his heart, the more he wanted to get closer to that child.
"Master Zhou..."
Master Zhou, who had been next door, hurried out of the cubicle after hearing Master Hou's order.
"Master Hou..."
"Don't you have any clue about what happened back then?"
At this time, I will also recall the events of the year.
Master Zhou bent over in fright.
"Back to Lord Marquis, we have been working hard to investigate this matter over the years. However, all the clues, I personally pointed out that back then... madam... did have some unclear ambiguous relationship with that person..."
"roll… "
Almost as soon as the words were spoken, the air pressure in the room was frighteningly low.
The master was under endless pressure, and he was relieved after getting a roll.
Turning around, Mr. Wu, who got out of the room, looked at the sky and heaved a sigh of relief. However, after walking a few steps, he still stood in a corner with some sense of loss.
"Oh, what I did wrong back then, now, I dare not admit it even if I was beaten to death... Otherwise, I will only die worse..."
