Chapter 88 Sihexiang (End)

In the evening, Huo Weilou was summoned to the palace, and Bo Ruoyou felt at ease for a few minutes, but he still felt a little unreal.

When Eunuch Fu returned from looking for medicine, he ordered Jingmo and Wuyi to apply medicine to Bo Ruoyou’s bruised area and back injury. Bo Ruoyou asked if it was them the night before, and Jingmo said without realizing it. : "I applied medicine the night before, but I didn't know that the girl's back was also injured. However, the girl has already applied medicine here, and I don't know who it was——"

Halfway through saying this, Jingmo and Wuli looked at each other. This house was full of men. Who else would dare except Huo Weilou?

The two of them had slightly red faces and did not dare to say anything. Bo Ruoyou tightened his collar and had some mixed feelings in his heart. Huo Weilou actually felt that since he had made up his mind to marry her, he did not have to worry about the male-female defense. Okay, how can there be such a truth in the world?

After all, he is the superior Wu Zhaohou. Etiquette and rules are just things that bind ordinary people, but he is not among the ordinary people. Bo Ruoyou has a headache and just wants to find someone to ask how to talk to Wu Zhaohou. reason?

That night, Huo Weilou did not return all night. Although Bo Ruoyou had no thoughts about waiting for him, he was still a little concerned about it. , but the bruises and scratches on his body have healed a little, and the slight wind and cold caused by the rain have mostly healed, but Huo Weilou has not returned yet.

But Ming Guilan came very early. Today she finally changed into a woman's dress, and she was no longer so embarrassed to see people. Eunuch Fu accompanied Ming Guilan in. After asking for her pulse, Ming Guilan relaxed. He took a breath and said, "It's mostly healed, but the wound on the neck will take ten and a half days to heal. Once the swelling subsides, you can use the medicine that the Marquis brought from the palace, and there will be no scars."

Bo Ruoyou hurriedly thanked you, "Thank you for letting Mr. Ming worry about it."

Ming Guilan chuckled lightly and said, "Master Marquis, I don't dare not bother to explain. Besides, I am not a stranger to Miss Bo, so I should be more attentive." Then he asked Eunuch Fu, "Master Hou didn't come back all night. ?"

Eunuch Fu sighed, "The Ministry of War is having trouble with the Ministry of Household Affairs over the issue of food and grass. You should know a lot about the affairs of the government and the public."

Ming Guilan nodded, "Then I'm afraid I'll be home late today."

Bao Ruoyou only heard the literal meaning, thinking that Huo Weilou would be coming home late today, and couldn't help but be a little worried. However, she really didn't have much to think about the matters in the court. Huo Weilou was not here, and obviously Gui Lan didn't stay for long. In the afternoon, Cheng Yunzhi came to visit her and felt a little relieved when she saw that Huo Weilou was not at the Hou Mansion. There were maids waiting attentively around her.

The father and daughter talked for a long time, and Cheng Yunzhi waited until it was getting dark before leaving. On the way back, Cheng Yunzhi was worried. When he got home, he called Zhou Liang to give instructions, and Zhou Liang answered frequently. Dare to be careless.

It was boring for Bo Ruoyou to lie on the couch, so he took out the book and read it. Jingmo and Wudi were attentive to their service and they were not talkative people. Only then did Bo Ruoyou suddenly realize that the two of them were The maid in the princess's mansion, this made her a little panicked.

What happened in the Huo Weilou Mansion must be reported back to the Princess Mansion. I heard that there was an additional woman in the Huo Weilou Mansion, which was not a womanizer. I didn’t know what the eldest princess would think. She also had a headache, "You The two of them are maids at the princess's residence. Do you know that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has a lot of interference in the affairs of the Marquis?"

Jingmo and Wuyi seemed to understand what Bo Ruoyou was worried about, Wuyi said: "Don't worry, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is ill, and she doesn't usually interfere with the affairs of the Marquis."

Bao Ruoyou breathed a sigh of relief, and then thought that he had already known that the eldest princess was seriously ill, so he couldn't help but ask: "What kind of illness is the eldest princess? Is it very serious?"

Both Jingmo and Wuli hesitated to speak, and Bo Ruoyou knew he had too much to say, "If it's inconvenient to answer, then I won't answer. With Mr. Ming and so many imperial doctors, I think it will always be fine."

Jing Mo pursed her lips and said, "Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess has been ill for many years. If she wants to ask, she can ask the Marquis. The slaves don't dare to talk nonsense. And if you ask, the Marquis will definitely not be able to do anything." Hidden."

Bao Ruoyou heard something strange, as if the eldest princess's illness was some kind of hidden disease that was difficult to talk about. At this moment, she vaguely remembered that although Huo Weilou was born in a noble family, his father Dingguo Gong was... She died of illness a few years ago, and now the eldest princess's mansion only has the eldest princess as her master, but she rarely hears Huo Weilou mention it.

Thinking of this, Bo Ruoyou sighed. Not only did Huo Weilou never mention the eldest princess, he also never mentioned a word about the place where he grew up. The two of them had only known each other for a few months. She has some understanding of Xing's family background, but she still doesn't know the other person's background. No... the main reason is that she doesn't know his background, so can she discuss marriage?

Bo Ruoyou still rested as usual that night, but in the middle of the night, she felt her hand being held again. She suddenly opened her eyes and saw Huo Weilou coming back without knowing when, with the coolness of the night on his body. , was sitting on the edge of the bed looking at her.

Seeing her waking up, Huo Weilou hurriedly said: "It's me——"

Bao Ruoyou pushed herself up to sit up, but Huo Weilou held her down, "You are asleep, I just want to check on you."

Most of Bao Ruoyou's sleepiness disappeared, "Master Hou, are you done with your work?"

Huo Weilou said "hmm", his face clearly showing some fatigue. Thinking that he hadn't rested for several days, Bo Ruoyou also felt distressed, "Master Marquis, please rest quickly, you look very tired."

Huo Weilou squeezed her palm, his brows and eyes softened a little, but he said: "This is the only bed I have to sleep on."

Bao Ruoyou reacted for a moment before realizing what he meant. She was startled, "No! Never! Then I...I will go to the guest house..."

She stood up, Huo Weilou chuckled and held her down again. Only then did Bao Ruoyou realize that he was joking. Her face was slightly warm and she muttered in an annoyed voice: "Master Hou is making fun of me. , when can you behave yourself in both words and deeds?"

Huo Weilou placed his head on her forehead and said, "I am the rule." He straightened up again and said, "I'll go to the study, you can sleep peacefully."

Having said that, his hands were slightly loose. Huo Weilou looked at her, and he didn't know what he thought of. There was a slight heat in his eyes. The look in his eyes immediately made Bao Ruoyou feel a little self-conscious, and she hurriedly shrank into the quilt. She flinched, but Huo Weilou let go of her hand and turned away.

She felt a little reassured and a little suspicious, but the sleepiness came over her and she was not allowed to think wildly.

In the early morning of the third day, Bo Ruoyou felt that his body had recovered a lot. He was beaten and dragged that night, and his body had many bruises and seemed to fall apart. This time he lay on the bed for two days. On the same day, she no longer wanted to lie down. She changed her clothes and got up as usual. She even applied medicine by herself. Jingmo and Wudi saw that she was not as behaved as other young ladies from aristocratic families, and their eyes became even more curious, but they did not dare to ask any more questions. .

"Master Hou, can you get up?" Bo Ruoyou asked.

Jing Mo said: "It's just that Deputy Commander Ning and Lieutenant Lu arrived just now. Now they are all discussing matters in the study."

It was still early, but Lu Ke and Ning Xiao arrived. Bao Ruoyou thought about how he had not seen Lu Ke since he returned to Beijing, and his heart moved slightly. Could it be that something had gone wrong?

Since Huo Weilou is so busy, it's time for her to go home. Why not leave the house earlier so that Huo Weilou won't be distracted?

With this thought in mind, Bo Ruoyou left the inner room and went to the study. Outside the study, he saw Eunuch Fu waiting outside. When he saw her getting up, Eunuch Fu was startled, "Why are you getting up? Master Ming said But, how many more days would it be best to lie down?"

The strangulation on her neck still looked horrifying, and Eunuch Fu was quite worried. Bo Ruoyou said hurriedly: "It's okay, Eunuch, I just have to be careful. Is the Marquis busy?"

Eunuch Fu nodded, "Lu Ke is also here. Lu Ke has been doing other errands these days. Today, he went to the government to report something. Ning Xiao is still working on this case. He has reviewed some details in the past two days and is close to closing the case. Not far away."

Bo Ruoyou nodded, "How will Lu Wenhe be punished?"

Eunuch Fu looked troubled, "He didn't harm anyone, but Wei Ling just coaxed him, but it doesn't count as breaking any laws. It's difficult to convict him——"

When the conversation changed, Eunuch Fu himself snorted and said, "But, evil people will be punished, and Lu Wenhe himself is afraid that he will not be better for a few days."

Seeing the confusion on Bao Ruoyou's face, Mr. Fu said: "When he was interrogated, he suffered from mental illness. Although he got better later, he was taken to Jingzhao Mansion Prison. After two days of imprisonment, he became insane. The madness is getting worse, and now it is known to the outside world that he hires ghostwriters for his poems, calligraphy and paintings, and his reputation is extremely bad. With how much he cares about his reputation, this madness cannot be cured."

Bao Ruoyou didn't expect that Lu Wenhe was really crazy. The great talent's face was exposed, and he didn't know how much ridicule and trouble he would suffer. In addition, he became a madman. Lu Wenhe's life would be completely ruined. Bo Ruoyou sighed He took a breath and said, "I just hope Wei Ling can feel a little comforted after seeing this in Tianzhiling."

Eunuch Fu nodded, "Anyway, the murderer must be punished with death."

At this point, Eunuch Fu continued: "There is one more thing that you would also like to know if you think about it. Didn't the father of the murdered girl Xu serve as an official in the court? Although he did not report his daughter to the official position, which was quite ruthless. But he couldn't be picketed. However, when he saw the Marquis coming to inquire about the case in person, he felt frightened. In the past few days, he started walking around asking for bail, fearing that his official position would be implicated. This move did involve some trouble, and he was afraid that he That Yuanwailang couldn't do it for more than a few days."

Bo Ruoyou felt sorry for Xu Wanshu when he thought of Xu Kangwei and his wife, but he never expected that this would happen. If Xu Kangwei lost his official position, Mrs. Xu's character would probably bring trouble to the Xu family. He was so restless that he would suffer for decades to come.

Speaking of Xu Wanshu, Bo Ruoyou thought of Feng Wodan again. The Feng family only had such an only daughter. Mr. Feng and his wife were also pitiful. She sighed again and just mentioned her intention, "Father, today I It's a lot better. Mr. Hou is so busy, why don't you go home earlier?"

Eunuch Fu looked bitter when he heard this, "Is it possible that Youyou feels uncomfortable in the Marquis' Mansion? Or is there something wrong with you?"

Bo Ruoyou shook his head hurriedly, "Of course not, it's just that it's against the rules for me to live here now, and today is already the third day, I..."

Before he finished speaking, two people walked out of the study, it was Ning Xiao and Lu Ke. Ning Xiao still had the expressionless look on his face, but Lu Ke smiled when he saw Bo Ruoyou, "Bo Girl——"

Bo Ruoyou was blessed, and Lu Ke pointed to the study: "Master Marquis, please come in."

Bao Ruoyou felt something was wrong for no reason, so he turned around and went to the study. As soon as he entered the study, he saw a brocade quilt placed on the couch by the west window, and Huo Weilou was already sitting behind the desk. She walked slowly Walking to the desk, "Master Hou."

After Huo Weilou wrote the last word, he put the official document aside and waved to her, "Come here -"

Bao Ruoyou was a little hesitant. Huo Weilou raised his eyebrows and looked at her. Bao Ruoyou slowly moved to his side. She stopped two steps in front of him. Huo Weilou shook his head. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her in front of him, "Am I going to eat you?"

Bao Ruoyou's little face wrinkled up, but Huo Weilou raised his hand and placed it on her chin to see the injury on her neck. Bao Ruoyou raised his chin slightly and said with a grimace: "Master Hou, I I want to go home today."

Huo Weilou's eyes moved to her face, "No."

Bo Ruoyou was slightly annoyed when he heard this, "When can the civilian girl return home?"

Huo Weilou stared, "What's wrong with the Hou Mansion?"

Bao Ruoyou took a deep breath and took half a step back. "If the Marquis treats me as a subordinate and you are the Marquis of Wu Zhao and orders me to stay in the Marquis' mansion, then I will not dare to disobey."

After she finished speaking, she lowered her eyes and did not look at him, but her attitude was clear.

Huo Weilou looked at her for a moment, feeling a little funny, "Did I ever order you?"

Bao Ruoyou said helplessly: "What you are doing is just like an order. Anyway, you know that as long as you make up your mind, I can't resist."

Huo Weilou listened to her words and said, "Then take those two maids back to the mansion."

Bo Ruoyou was surprised, "That's the maid from the eldest princess's mansion."

"So what? There are many servants in the eldest princess's mansion, including her."

Bo Ruoyou sighed, "But Lord Marquis, I have taken care of myself since I was a child. I don't need so many people to wait on me. What's more, I still have a good aunt here. Even if I need to apply medicine, it won't be delayed."

Huo Weilou frowned slightly, "It's just two maids, it's nothing, why don't you want them? I asked them to go back with you because I couldn't trust you."

Bo Ruoyou was quite helpless. Hearing this, he also felt that Huo Weilou's words were quite aggrieved, so he had to patiently say: "I know that the Marquis is doing it for my own good, but if I want to serve as a maid, I will have to return to the capital." After that, I bought maidservants. You asked me to take them back, not to mention whether they were willing or not, I will definitely feel quite uncomfortable. Do you want to make me uncomfortable?"

Huo Weilou's eyebrows were slightly loose, his phoenix eyes were slightly sunken, and he didn't know what he thought of. He said after a moment: "That's it, I have to go home. I have breakfast first and then go home. I will enter the palace later, so I will keep it." You can’t see it either.”

Bao Ruoyou finally explained the truth and felt a little relieved. Hearing what he said, he felt his face was slightly warm. The two of them went out of the study to have breakfast. After finishing their breakfast, Huo Weilou said When she goes out, someone will send her home.

Seeing Bao Ruoyou say goodbye to Mr. Fu with a relaxed look, Huo Weilou felt quite uncomfortable. When the people got on the carriage and left slowly, Huo Weilou felt even weirder. He wanted to keep the person in front of him, but he couldn't. But the man wanted to run quickly to a place where he couldn't see him. Could it be that she really agreed to what Eunuch Fu asked, but in fact she didn't want to and she didn't have him in her heart?

Eunuch Fu was standing by. Seeing his expression, he guessed what he was thinking and asked him, "Master Marquis, is it easy? Is it more elusive than usual?"

Huo Weilou's face straightened, and he suppressed all the thoughts in his heart. From the outside, he still looked like the powerful Wu Zhaohou. He turned around and entered the house calmly, "It's just that she hasn't reacted yet."

Eunuch Fu shook his head, "There is a long way to go, my Lord Marquis."

Huo Weilou turned a deaf ear and hurried to the study.

Bao Ruoyou was sent home. Cheng Yunzhi was surprised to see that she had returned early. However, Bao Ruoyou keenly realized that Cheng Yunzhi was angry because his favorite purple sand tea set, two of which Every cup was smashed.

The set of purple clay pots and cups were her aunt's dowry. Cheng Yunzhi had used them for half his life without breaking one of them, but this time, two of them were broken. The good aunt said that when Cheng Yunzhi missed it, Bo Ruoyou was a Not even a million people believe it.

After talking for a long time in the main hall, Cheng Yunzhi was still worried and asked her to go back to the boudoir to rest. After the three of them settled her down, Bo Ruoyou asked, "Who has angered his adoptive father in the past two days?"

Cheng Yunzhi's face changed slightly and he tried to stay calm, "No, I'm just worried about you as a father."

But Bo Ruoyou said mercilessly: "After all these years, my daughter still doesn't know her adoptive father? Let the adoptive father tell the truth. Did he go to inquire about Mr. Bo?"

Cheng Yun was stunned, "You know?"

Bo Ruoyou was suspicious, "What do you know? Mr. Bo has lived a good life in the capital these years. Of course my daughter knows about this."

Cheng Yunzhi's eyes darkened, and he sighed and said, "My father is just sorry for you." He paused and then said, "What's more, the Qingming Festival is approaching. Now that you are back, it's time to worship your parents."

Bo Ruoyou also looked a little gloomy, "I have to go to worship, but there is nothing wrong with me. If I had stayed in the Bo family back then, how could I be in the state of mind I am today? My uncles and elders treated me badly. , and in a place like Beijing, I can't do anything. I feel boring and depressed just thinking about it. My adoptive father and mother-in-law and I went to Qingzhou, but we were much happier. There are gains and losses in everything. This is what my adoptive father taught me before, but I have always Remember."

Cheng Yunzhi stopped talking for a moment, but finally said: "You are right, we should consider this matter in the long term."

Bo Ruoyou felt relieved and comforted Cheng Yunzhi for a while. Cheng Yunzhi just brought Zhou Liang and his wife out. As soon as he went out, Cheng Yunzhi's expression completely darkened. When he walked to the main hall, he told Zhou Liang, "Go to Changshou Fang to find out. Make inquiries to see if Lin Shilang's residence is still in Changshoufang. This matter must not be settled like this. This was a marriage arranged by Youyou's parents back then. If even this matter is taken over by others, I will definitely not be able to see him in the future. Jing Xing."

Zhou Liang responded, and Cheng Yunzhi sighed: "Don't let Youyou know about this in advance."

Zhou Liang and his wife did not dare to be careless. After a while, Zhou Liang left the house.

Bao Ruoyou felt much more at home when she returned to her home. The inside and outside of the house were cleaned spotlessly by her good aunt, the window lattice was also locked, and even the wall in the backyard was raised a little, although she could not survive Eighteen years of divination, but she preferred to believe that surviving a catastrophe would lead to good fortune, but Cheng Yunzhi felt a little depressed for two days in a row.

Bo Ruoyou knew in her heart that this matter could not be dissuaded by a few words, and she did not have so much energy to find out why Cheng Yunzhi was unhappy, because she was not talking about her injuries, and she also had troubles in her heart, Huo Weilou Those words, the care given to her during her two-day stay at the Marquis' Mansion, and those unruly behaviors all made her disturbed in a rare way.

Although she left home when she was young, she can’t remember everything clearly about those years. Over the years, she has been loved by her adoptive father and mother. Spring brings sadness to autumn, but now Huo Wei Tower makes her worried.

Not to mention what is love? What is marriage? She just felt that no matter how complicated the case was, it would be easier to answer than these two questions.

That evening, when Aunt Liang was applying medicine to her body, she couldn't help but ask, "Aunt Liang, when my adoptive father and stepmother left the capital, did they never think of coming back?"

Aunt Liang responded with a smile, "The master encountered some difficulties at that time, and there was no other way to go to Qingzhou."

Bo Ruoyou said, "Is the adoptive mother also willing?"

Aunt Liang sighed, "Of course I am willing. Madam and the master have known each other for a long time, and they have a very close friendship, which is unmatched by ordinary couples. This is also due to the fact that the master treats his wife well. The wife has always been frail and sick, and has been childless for many years." I don’t have a daughter, and the master didn’t do what he wanted. Fortunately, I have a young lady, which makes up for my wife’s regrets.”

As far back as Bo Ruoyou can remember, Cheng Yun and his wife were very loving, and her father and mother, according to Cheng Yun and his wife, were also deeply in love. However, their love did not last long. Both her father and mother were unexpectedly together, and her adoptive mother also died young. , she felt lingering sadness, and felt that she did not want to be what her good aunt called an "ordinary couple", but how easy was it?

Bao Ruoyou thought about it for two days but couldn't figure it out. She had enough troubles, so she simply put them aside for the time being. In the past few days, Huo Weilou had not come to the house, which also made her feel calmer and calmer. By the third day In the morning, Wu Xiang came.

It was already the peak of spring. Wu Xiang came with many gifts and came to check for injuries. After these few days, the bruises on Bo Ruoyou's neck were almost gone, and he applied the medicine given by Eunuch Fu. Ointment, there were almost no traces of injury, but her voice was still a little hoarse. Wu Xiang also felt sorry for Bo Ruoyou's attack, and said that Sun Zhao had spoken and just let her recuperate at home and not rush to the Yamen.

Bo Ruoyou couldn't laugh or cry, and asked the Yamen if there was any case. If there was no case, don't worry. Wu Xiang said cheerfully: "Don't worry, Han Sheng's case has not been completely closed. Recently, the Yamen has received... These little sneaky things, this time, I’m afraid you’ll be able to work at home for a month.”

Bo Ruoyou was relieved, and Cheng Yunzhi stayed with Wu Xiang for lunch again. Wu Xiang was not polite and stayed at Cheng's house for half a day before leaving.

There was no case in the yamen, so Bo Ruoyou was completely relieved and stayed in the house for three more days. He felt leisurely at first, but gradually he felt bored. However, Huo Weilou had no interest in these days. The sound also made her feel faintly suspicious. Huo Weilou's temperament did not allow her to rest for so many days. Could it be that something happened in the court?

As soon as this thought came out, she felt a little embarrassed. Even though she couldn't respond to him in everything, she always thought about him. Just when she was worried again, there was a knock on the door of the house. There was a knock on the door. A little anxious, which made Bao Ruoyou's heart beat slightly faster. However, when Zhou Liang opened the door, Wu Xiang stood at the door with a sweaty face. When he saw Bao Ruoyou coming, he smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that I can't let you cultivate for a month." ”

Bo Ruoyou's heart moved slightly, "But there is a case? Do you want me to do an autopsy?"

Wu Xiang nodded, "Yes, I want you to do an autopsy, and this time... it's not easy..."

Seeing Bo Ruoyou's questioning look, Wu Xiang said with lingering fear: "That's why what I want you to examine is a baby corpse."
