Duke Chengguo swore secretly in his heart that if he was allowed to find out the culprit, he would not let him die easily.
After Chengguo Gong raised the point, Manager Huang immediately understood.
Manager Huang raised his hand and gave himself a slap, then put his head on the ground and quickly admitted his mistake: "You deserve to die, you are not thoughtful enough, please punish me."
Duke Chengguo took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said, "Get up and talk."
Manager Huang leaned over to express his thanks, stood up, glanced secretly at Duke Sui, and said, "Master Guo, I have something to say, should I say it or not?"
Duke Chengguo glanced at Steward Huang and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it. I'm most annoyed by people who are hesitant?"
Manager Huang leaned forward and said, "Yes, I have realized my mistake! My lord, this is the case. In our mansion,
After the repeated incidents in Fu'an Hall, we have stepped up our guard, especially the area of Fu'an Hall, which is even more heavily guarded.
Ordinarily, the bad guys have no chance of entering the old lady's house."
Duke Chengguo looked at Manager Huang, who gave him a meaningful look.
After seeing this, Duke Chengguo's face became darker and his brows furrowed more tightly. "What do you want to say?"
Manager Huang did not dare to look at Duke Chengguo, and lowered his head and said, "He can come and go freely in our house.
There are only two situations, either the other party knows everything about the situation in our house, or the other party is very skilled."
Duke Chengguo murmured: "He knows the situation in our house very well! Could it be his people who did it? You have thought of it too, haven't you?"
Duke Chengguo looked up at Manager Huang.
Manager Huang leaned forward and said, "I don't dare to make any assumptions.
After all, the Duke and the old lady are the prince's grandfather and grandmother.
The prince has always been filial, how could he do such a treasonous thing?"
Filial piety, if he was truly filial, how could he insist on marrying the widowed daughter instead of marrying Yi Jie's son?
Going against the wishes of your elders, not taking them seriously, and going your own way, what kind of filial piety is this?
Duke Chengguo was certain that Shi Jingyang had done this. He was filled with hatred and ordered Manager Huang: "Send someone to the Marquis Mansion and ask Rong'er to come see me."
Manager Huang leaned forward and said, "Master, back home, the old lady has already sent someone to invite my sister-in-law. She should be here soon."
"You have someone guard the door. When Rong'er arrives, bring her directly to see me." The Duke said.
Manager Huang bowed his head in agreement, bowed and exited the study.
As soon as Mrs. Hou and Shi Jingxing entered the gate of the Chengguo Palace, the young man in the Chengguo Palace stopped the carriage and said, "My aunt is fine. My lord has invited me. Please come with me."
Shi Jingxing looked at Mrs. Hou, "Auntie, Xing'er also went to pay his respects to his grandfather."
The boy said: "Hello, cousin, the Duke of the country only passed down the inheritance to my sister-in-law."
"This..." Shi Jingxing looked at Mrs. Hou nervously.
Mrs. Hou patted Shi Jingxing's hand, smiled and said comfortingly: "Nothing, Xing'er will go to greet her grandmother first, and then go to talk to Sister Yi and the others.
Aniang will go to see your grandfather first, and then go to Fu'an Hall."
Shi Jingxing could only nod: "Okay, then Xing'er is waiting for grandma at Fu'an Hall."
Mrs. Hou followed the young man to Zizhuyuan. Manager Huang was waiting at the door. When he saw Mrs. Hou coming, he smiled and went up to greet her.
Mrs. Hou nodded towards Manager Huang.
Manager Huang leaned forward and asked Mrs. Hou to go to the study. Aunt Han followed her in, but was stopped by Manager Huang. "Aunt Han, please stay. You can only wait outside the hospital and are not allowed to be admitted."
Aunt Han looked at Mrs. Hou, "Madam, this..."
Mrs. Hou frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy, and said calmly: "Zixin, just wait here for me."
On the way to the study, Mrs. Hou wanted to ask Manager Huang several times, but she swallowed the words back and repeated this several times, and finally did not speak.
Manager Huang is someone close to her father, so even if she asked, he would not tell her any information.
After thinking about this, Mrs. Hou followed behind Steward Huang and walked forward without looking away.
Arriving at the door of the study, Manager Huang stopped and said loudly: "My lord, my aunt is here."
"Let her come in." The Duke's voice came from inside the house.
Manager Huang leaned towards Mrs. Hou and said, "Sister-in-law, please."
Mrs. Hou bowed slightly, pushed the door open and entered the study.
Without waiting for Mrs. Hou to greet her, the Duke grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it towards Mrs. Hou. With a "bang", the teacup fell apart at Mrs. Hou's feet.
Even though Mrs. Hou was mentally prepared, she was frightened by Duke Cheng's actions and took a step back, looking at the furious Duke behind the desk in fear.
Immediately in the room, the Duke's scolding sounded: "You unfilial daughter, why don't you kneel down?"
Mrs. Hou looked blankly at the angry-looking Duke, feeling uneasy in her heart.
He took a step forward, knelt down in the middle of the room, looked up at Duke Chengguo and said, "I wonder why father is angry? Please let me know for sure."
The Duke of Guo stared at Madam Hou in the middle of the room and said in a deep voice: "You unfilial daughter, you don't know where you went wrong?
I ask you, do you remember what I told you? I asked you to settle the marriage between Brother Le and Sister Yi as soon as possible, have you ever done it? "
After hearing what Duke Chengguo said, Mrs. Hou calmed down her fearful mind and said calmly: "Return to father, my daughter has never done this..."
Before Mrs. Hou finished speaking, Duke Chengguo grabbed the book on the table and threw it towards the middle of the room.
Mrs. Hou watched the book flying towards her and refused to dodge, letting the book hit her.
"If the father is angry, just take it out on his daughter. Le Ge'er's marriage was arranged between the old Marquis and the Ning family. Even if the father beats his daughter to death, her daughter can't make the decision."
Mrs. Hou looked at the Duke with an indifferent expression.
Duke Chengguo pointed at Madam Hou and said, "Why do I support you to such an unsatisfactory level?
You have Duke Chengguo behind you and the Queen, but you can't do anything about a dead person?
You are Brother Le's mother. If you don't plan for Brother Le, who will plan for him?
Think about it carefully, are you really willing to let Brother Le marry a widowed girl?
You are my daughter and Le Geer is my grandson. Will I harm you or Le Geer?
I wish you well and brother Le with all my heart. Don’t be ignorant of good and evil!
Brother Le and Sister Yi are getting married, which brings the two families closer to each other. Both His Highness and the Empress attach great importance to this marriage. Do you understand?"
Duke Chengguo used both soft and hard tactics. Seeing that Mrs. Hou was not willing to take the bully approach, he lowered his voice and patiently reasoned with Mrs. Hou.
Mrs. Hou was unmoved, shook her head and said: "On other matters, my daughter may be able to obey her father.
Brother Coke's marriage was decided by his elders.
The Marquis said that the Shi family's motto is to be loyal and true to one's word.
My daughter is the daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Weiyuan. She cannot violate the centuries-old ancestral precepts of the Shi family for her own selfish reasons. I also ask my father to understand the difficulties faced by my daughter."
Duke Chengguo stared at Madam Hou angrily, "You..."
