Mrs. Guangping Hou looked at Mr. Zhao and did not answer his question, but smiled slightly: "It's cold and dewy, and you brothers and sisters are not in good health. Go back to the house and rest. Since there are people from the yamen here, you can do everything by yourself."
It’s up to them to solve it.”
A look of disappointment appeared on Mr. Zhao's face: "My mother is indeed involved in these things, otherwise you would definitely try your best to prove your innocence."
Mrs. Guangping Hou raised her head slightly: "I am Mrs. Guangping Hou, the wife of Guangping Hou Ming Media." Her eyes deepened slightly, "After Mr. Hou rescued me, he told me that he would protect me.
my whole life.
I am grateful to Mr. Marquis, and I am secretly determined to repay the favor as much as I can. We have been together as husband and wife these years. Even if people outside don't know it, you should know it. Even though you are not born to me, you still have to call me mother. If you treat me
If you have any doubts, just send evidence to the government, but as long as the government doesn't accuse me, you have no right to question me."
The few words spoken were sonorous and powerful.
Mrs. Guangping Hou turned around and wanted to leave.
"There is still another important piece of evidence that I haven't looked at. How could Madam just leave like this?"
After Xu Qinghuan finished speaking, he looked at Meng Lingyun.
Meng Lingyun immediately walked to Mr. Zhao and stretched out his hand to ask for the hairpin in Mr. Zhao's hand.
Second Master Zhao looked at Xu Qinghuan doubtfully, and then handed the hairpin in his hand to Meng Lingyun.
Meng Lingyun weighed it in his hands for a long time, and finally pried off a gem on the hairpin. With a strong pull, the hairpin broke into two pieces. The head of the hairpin was hollow, and there was a note inside.
After unfolding it, there was one word written on it: Escape.
Madam Marquis Guangping's eyelids twitched.
Xu Qing said with a smile: "Did Madam write this note to the traitor general? That day when the Hou Mansion arrested the thief, Madam knew that the matter might have been exposed, so she immediately asked Mama Yu next to her to pass on the message, asking the traitor general to escape.
I know that this hairpin was taken away by Mr. Zhao.
Mother Yu went back to check the box and found that the hairpin was gone. She thought that the traitor general had got the news, but she didn't expect that it was such a mistake that cost the traitor general his life.
After the rebel general died, Madam began to doubt the whereabouts of the hairpin, and finally discovered that Mr. Zhao was secretly investigating your life experience. In panic, you had no other choice but to let your men kill Zou."
As soon as Xu Qinghuan finished speaking, a short whistle sounded outside. After a moment, Sun Chong was seen striding in, holding a gray pigeon in his hand.
Sun Chong said: "Master Song found the whistle from the spy. When the whistle sounded, it attracted the carrier pigeon, which flew onto the carriage of Madam Marquis Guangping."
Xu Qinghuan said: "Now Madam, you can't do it anymore, otherwise all this has nothing to do with you, right?"
Mrs. Guangping Hou watched everything quietly, the strange look on her face gradually disappeared, and her whole person became extremely indifferent.
"This is your true appearance," Xu Qinghuan said, "I just don't understand, Marquis Guangping treats you so badly, why do you do this?"
"How did he treat me?" said the Marquis of Guangping. "My whole family was killed by him, but I tried my best to raise his children. Now it seems that this deal is not a good deal."
Zhao Muwei was surprised when she heard this, and Mrs. Guangping Hou's cold eyes made her tremble.
Mr. Zhao also became more serious, and his trembling hands betrayed his complicated mood. No matter what the truth was, it was definitely not the result he wanted to see.
"Madam's efforts over the years have not been in vain," Xu Qinghuan said. "You have not sent news to Duogansi during your stay in the Guangping Marquis Mansion. That's why Guangping Marquis has made no achievements in the frontier these years. Years of fatigue and the
Tormented by old wounds, Marquis Guangping's health is deteriorating, and he is afraid that he will soon hand over his military power, retire and return to his hometown.
The most important thing is that you have been married to Marquis Guangping for many years and have nothing to do, so that Marquis Guangping only has two sons. Mr. Zhao has not liked riding and shooting since he was a child. He only wants to be a scribe. The only one who can inherit the mantle of Marquis Guangping is
The prince, the whereabouts of the prince are unknown now. Compared with when you married into the prince's mansion, the prince's mansion has declined. Your goal has been achieved, so tonight's risky move will be the icing on the cake for you, and it will destroy the evidence for you.
There will be a chance to escape unscathed in the future, and it doesn’t matter if you fail, you will be able to retire with success anyway.”
Mrs. Guangping Hou took a long breath: "When Miss Xu said this, I felt much better. Yes, this is what I planned."
Xu Qinghuan said: "Madam said that the entire family was killed by Marquis Guangping, and Madam came to the Marquis' Mansion to avenge her family, so how innocent is the Cui family? Do they deserve to die?"
"There is no way, if you want to do big things, there must be casualties," Mrs. Guangpinghou said with a smile, "My father was also a general under Chief Duogan Siburang. When he was guarding the city on the border, he was killed by Guangpinghou. I
My mother and younger brother also died tragically, leaving me alone. The chieftain saw my beauty and asked me to seduce the Marquis of Guangping, so he killed the Cui family and pretended to be the daughter of the Cui family... Unexpectedly, the Marquis of Guangping accepted me.
As my stepmother, I leave my mother and a pair of young children in my hands."
Mrs. Guangping Hou seemed to have returned to that year. She looked at Zhao Muwei and Mr. Zhao: "You know how much I wanted to kill you at that time. My mother and brother died beside me, and their blood soaked my body.
Dress, now I still remember that scene, how can I raise the children of my enemy.
But a little impatience leads to a big plan. Even if I struggle every step of the way, I still try my best to please your father. I stayed with your father and suffered so much humiliation. Everything today was bought with my blood and tears, and I deserve it.
of."
Zhao Muwei said after a while: "How could you do this..."
"There is nothing I can't do," Mrs. Guangping said coldly, "I am not the only one responsible for why the Hou Mansion is what it is today. You brothers and sisters also contributed to it."
Zhao Muwei was startled.
Mrs. Guangping Hou's gaze was like a sharp blade, as if she was cutting Zhao Muwei's flesh: "As a daughter of the Hou Mansion, you don't care about the safety of the Hou Mansion and just want to live a normal life. You are extremely stupid. It's a shame that you and I
I met Xu Qinghuan, but I didn't learn any strong temper from her. The women of the Xungui family are so weak. Even if you are not allowed to stand up in the family, you should have some ability to protect yourself. Like you... I can already
I think that after marrying into her husband's family, she can only be manipulated by others. A woman who cannot control her own life is nothing more than a product that can be produced in the eyes of men."
"And you," Mrs. Guangping Hou moved her gaze to Mr. Zhao's face, "don't you want to know where your brother went? I will kill him, because after his death, the Hou Mansion has lost its vitality.
As for you, it's not worth my while. Your life and death are irrelevant to the Guangping Marquis. No, it's better for you to live. Living will only bring disgrace to the family.
By the way, I also want to thank you. You told Marquis Guangping about the prince entering my room and separated the father and son. In this way, Marquis Guangping thought your brother was guilty and ran away. In fact, I separated the father and son just to treat you.
My brother did it, I am really my accomplice, and you also have your brother's blood on your hands."
Mr. Zhao was trembling all over.
Mrs. Guangping Hou obviously still felt that Mr. Zhao’s pain was not enough. She stared at Mr. Zhao and said clearly: “I want you to remember my words firmly. Even if I die, you will continue to help me tell Mr. Guangping
The Zhao family wants revenge, because your existence can only bring shame to the Guangping Marquis Mansion. It is impossible for the Guangping Marquis Mansion to be revitalized in your hands. Do you hear that?
Did you hear that?"
Second Master Zhao felt his blood surge and shouted: "I will not let your conspiracy succeed. I will study and practice martial arts to relieve my father's worries. You will never want to see my Zhao family's jokes."
Mrs. Guangping Hou glanced at Mr. Zhao with contempt: "I don't believe it."
After saying this, Mrs. Guangping Marquis seemed to have lifted a heavy burden off her shoulders, and her body became more petite. She looked at Sun Chong: "Before the court hearing, I was still a female concubine of Guangping Marquis Mansion. You can lock me up, but
Don't neglect me."
Mrs. Marquis Guangping took Mother Yu straight into the house. Sun Chong did not dare to neglect and immediately asked someone to guard the door. Fortunately, it would be daybreak in a few hours, and he could escort Mrs. Marquis Guangping to the nearest Yamen.
Zhao Muwei had wiped away his tears, but he was still in a trance.
Mr. Zhao's eyes were red: "I will definitely investigate this case. Brother... if I want to see him alive or dead, I will also find him."
The two children of the Zhao family seemed to have grown up a lot all of a sudden.
The atmosphere in the room was very heavy, and it wasn't until Mr. Zou on the kang snored loudly that everyone went back to their rooms.
Xu Qinghuan walked into the room, and the sharp voice of Mrs. Guangping Hou echoed in his ears.
It seemed that everything was settled, but she couldn't sleep. She opened the door and walked out, and saw a light on in the lobby of the inn.
Song Chengxuan was sitting there drinking tea, with two cups in front of him.
