Chapter 88 Four and incense (End)(1/2)
In the evening, Huo Weilou was summoned to the palace, and Bo Ruoyou had only been relieved for two minutes, but he still felt a little illusion but not true.
When Fu returned from looking for medicine, he asked Jing Mo and Wu Wei to apply medicine to Bo Ruoyou's scratched place and back wounds. Bo Ruoyou asked if it was them the night before. Jing Mo said without any awareness: "I didn't know that the girl's back was also injured, but the girl had already applied medicine here, and I don't know who it was-"
Just as he said halfway through this, Jing Mo and Wu Qi looked at each other. There were men in the marquis's mansion. Who else dared besides Huo Weilou?
The two of them had a slightly red face and didn't dare to say much. Bo Ruoyou tightened his collar and felt a little mixed in his heart. Huo Weilou actually felt that he had made up his mind to marry her, so he didn't have to worry about the great defense of men and women. How could this be the case in the world?
After all, he is the noble Wu Zhaohou. Ethics 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 reason with Wu Zhaohou?
That night, Huo Weilou did not return all night. Although Bo Ruoyou had no idea what he wanted, he was still thinking about it. He had just fallen asleep at midnight. When he woke up the next morning, although the neck still hurt, the bruises on his body healed a little, and the slight breeze and cold caused by the rain also healed most of the time, but Huo Weilou had not returned yet.
Ming Guilan came very early. Today she finally changed into a woman's skirt. She was not so embarrassed that she dared not see anyone. Eunuch Fu accompanied Ming Guilan in. After asking for her pulse, Ming Guilan breathed a sigh of relief. "It's been half healed, but the wound on her neck will take ten days and half a month to heal. When the bruises disappear, you can use the medicine that the Marquis brought from the palace, and there will be no scars left."
Bo Ruoyou hurriedly thanked, "Young Master Ming has trouble."
Ming Guilan chuckled, "The Marquis dare not worry about the explanation, let alone the relationship with Miss Bo, so you should do your best to do your best." He said, "The Marquis hasn't returned overnight?"
Eunuch Fu sighed, "The Ministry of War is having a quarrel with the Ministry of Revenue because of food and grass. You should know how much about the affairs of the government and the country."
Ming Guilan nodded, "Then I'm afraid I'm going to come home late today."
Bo Ruoyou only heard the literal meaning, thinking that Huo Weilou would return late today, he couldn't help but worry. However, she really didn't have much thought about the matter in the court. Huo Weilou was not there, and Ming Guilan did not stay for long. In the afternoon, Cheng Yunzhi came to visit her and saw that Huo Weilou was not in the Marquis' Mansion and that there was a maid who was serving her with thoughtful maids, and she couldn't help but feel relieved.
The father and daughter said something for a long time, and when it was almost dark, Cheng Yunzhi left. On the way back, Cheng Yunzhi was full of worries. When he returned home, he called Zhou Liang for a while and Zhou Liang responded frequently, but he did not dare to be careless.
It was boring for Bo Ruoyou to lie on the couch and keep it up, so he ordered him to take the book to read it. Jing Mo and Wu Qi were considerate and not a person who spoke much. Bo Ruoyou suddenly realized that they were maids of the princess's mansion, which made her a little panicked.
The matters in Huo Weilou's mansion must be passed back to the princess's mansion. I heard that there was an extra woman in Huo Weilou's mansion, and I don't know what the princess would think. She had a headache, "You two are maids in the princess's mansion. Do you know that the princess has been inquiring about the marquis' affairs?"
Jing Mo and Wu Qi seemed to understand what Bo Ruoyou was worried about. Wu Qi said: "Don't worry, Your Highness the eldest princess is sick and doesn't care about the marquis on weekdays."
Bo Ruoyou breathed a sigh of relief, and thought that he had known that the eldest princess was seriously ill, so he couldn't help asking: "What kind of disease is Your Highness the eldest princess? Is it very serious?"
Jing Mo and Wu Qi were both hesitant and never spoke. Bo Ruoyou knew too much, "If it is inconvenient, he would not answer. With Mr. Ming and so many imperial doctors, I think it would be good."
Jing Mo pursed his lips, "Your Highness the Princess is not cured. It has been many years since the girl wants to ask, but I wouldn't dare to say anything. If you ask, the Marquis will definitely not hide it."
Bo Ruoyou heard something strange, as if the eldest princess's illness was something that was difficult to speak. At this time, she vaguely remembered that although Huo Weilou was born in a noble family, his father, Duke Ding, died of illness a few years ago. Now, the eldest princess's mansion only has the eldest princess, but she rarely listened to Huo Weilou.
Thinking of this, Bo Ruoyou sighed. Huo Weilou not only did not mention the eldest princess, but also did not mention the place where he grew up. She had only known each other for a few months. Although she had some understanding of character and family background, she still didn't know each other's background. No...it was mainly because she didn't know his background, so she could discuss marriage?
The night Bo Ruoyou still rested as usual, but in the middle of the night, she felt her hand being held in her hands. She suddenly opened her eyes and saw Huo Weilou coming back at some point. She was sitting by the bed watching her with the chill of night.
Seeing her awakening, Huo Weilou hurriedly said, "It's me--"
Bo Ruoyou supported her body and was about to sit up, but Huo Weilou pressed her down, "You are asleep, I'll just see you."
Bo Ruoyou's sleepiness disappeared for most of his time, "Half Marquis finished his work?"
Huo Weilou said "um" and showed some fatigue on his face. Thinking that he had not rested for several days, Bo Ruoyou also felt distressed, "Master Marquis, please rest, you look very tired."
Huo Weilou pinched her palm, and his eyebrows were softer, but he said, "I only have this bed in my bedroom."
Bo Ruoyou reacted for a moment before he realized what he meant. She was shocked, "No! No! Then I...I'll go to the living yard..."
She stood up as she acted and Huo Weilou chuckled and held her down. Bo Ruoyou then saw that he was joking. Her face was slightly hot and she muttered in a low voice: "Mr. Marquis makes fun of me. When will you be more disciplined in your words and deeds?"
Huo Weilou felt a little nervous on her forehead, "I'm just the rule." He said that, and straightened his body again, "I'll go to the study, you can sleep."
Having said that, his hands were slightly loose. Huo Weilou looked at her, not knowing what he thought of, and his eyes were slightly hot. The eyes suddenly looked at Bo Ruoyou with a sense of danger. She hurriedly shrank into the quilt, but Huo Weilou relaxed her hand and turned away.
She felt a little relieved and a little suspicious, but she was sleepy and she didn't allow her to think randomly.
In the early morning of the third day, Bo Ruoyou felt that his body had recovered a lot. That night, he was dragged and dragged. He had many bruises on his body, as if he had fallen apart. After lying on the bed for two days, he was reluctant to lie down again. She changed clothes and got up as usual, and even took medicine. Jing Mo and Wuqiu saw that she was not as good as ordinary ladies in aristocratic families, and their eyes were even more curious, but they did not dare to ask more.
"Hao Master, have you gotten up?" Bo Ruoyou asked.
Jing Mo said: "I've gotten up, but just now Deputy Commander Ning and Commander Lu arrived. Now they are all discussing matters in the study."
It was still early, but Lu Ke and Ning Xiao arrived. Bo Ruoyou remembered how he had not seen Lu Ke after returning to Beijing. His heart moved slightly. Could it be that something went wrong?
Since Huo Weilou is so busy, it’s time for her to return home. Why not leave the house early to avoid distracting Huo Weilou?
This thought was certain. Bo Ruoyou left the inner room and came to the study room. When he arrived outside the study room, he saw Eunuch Fu waiting outside. When he saw her getting up, Eunuch Fu was shocked, "Why did Youyou get up? Master Ming said, it's better to lie down for a few more days?"
She still looked scary when the wound on her neck was strangled. Eunuch Fu was quite worried. Bo Ruoyou hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll be careful, I'll just be careful, is the Marquis busy?"
Eunuch Fu nodded, "Lu Ke is here too. Lu Ke has been doing other errands these days. Today, he went to the palace to report things. Ning Xiao has still tried some details for this case in the past two days, and it is not far from the closing of the case."
Bo Ruoyou nodded, "How can Lu Wenhe be punished?"
Eunuch Fu looked embarrassed, "He has not harmed anyone, and he has been tempted and coaxed Wei Ling, but it is not considered a violation of any law. It is difficult to convict-"
After a change of the subject, Eunuch Fu snorted and laughed, "But, the evil people will be punished, and Lu Wenhe is afraid that it will be better for a few days."
Seeing Bo Ruoyou's face revealing doubts, Fu Eunuch said justice: "When he was tried, he got crazy. Although he improved later, he was taken to the Jingzhao Mansion prison. After two days of imprisonment, the crazy crazy became even worse. Now everyone knows that his poetry, calligraphy and painting are all for his writing, and his reputation is bad. With his concern for that reputation, this madness cannot be cured."
Bo Ruoyou didn't expect Lu Wenhe to be really crazy. The face of a talented man was exposed. I don't know how many ridicule and trouble he would be. In addition, he became a madman, Lu Wenhe was completely destroyed in this life. Bo Ruoyou sighed, "I just hope that Wei Ling can feel a little comfort when he sees these in the spirit of heaven."
Eunuch Fu nodded, "Anyway, the murderer will definitely be punished for death."
At this point, Eunuch Fu said again: "There is another thing, Youyou, you want to know, isn't the murdered Miss Xu an official in court? Although he was quite ruthless to report to his daughter to his office, he could not detect him. However, when he saw the Marquis coming to ask for the case in person, he was frightened. In the past few days, he actually started to walk around for protection, afraid that he would implicate his official position. This time, he had to go to some trouble, but he was afraid that his official lord would not be able to be a few days."
Bo Ruoyou thought of Xu Kangwei and his wife and felt upset for Xu Wanshu. He didn't expect this festival to happen. If Xu Kangwei lost his official position, with Mrs. Xu's nature, he would be afraid that the Xu family would be in trouble. He would suffer this decades later.
Speaking of Xu Wanshu, Bo Ruoyou thought of Feng Wodan again. The Feng family had only such an only daughter. Mr. Feng and his wife were also pitiful. She sighed again and then she started to say, "Dad father-in-law, I'm much better today. The Marquis is so busy. Why wouldn't I go home earlier?"
When Eunuch Fu heard this, he looked bitter, "Are Youyou uncomfortable in the Marquis' Mansion? Or is it that there is no place to be thoughtful?"
Bo Ruoyou shook his head quickly, "Of course not, but I live here now and it's not the rules, and it's the third day, I..."
Before he finished speaking, two people came out of the study. It was Ning Xiao and Lu Ke. Ning Xiao was still expressionless. Lu Ke smiled when he saw Bo Ruoyou, "Miss Bo--"
Bo Ruoyou became blessed, and Lu Ke pointed to the study: "Mr. Marquis invites you in."
Bo Ruoyou felt something was wrong for no reason, so he turned around and went into the study. As soon as he entered the study, he saw a brocade quilt placed on the couch in the west window. The man from Huo Weilou had already sat on the desk. She walked slowly towards the desk, "Marquis."
After writing the last word, Huo Weilou put the official documents aside and waved to her, "Come here--"
Bo Ruoyou hesitated a little, Huo Weilou raised his eyebrows and looked at her. Bo Ruoyou slowly moved to him. She stopped two steps in front of him. Huo Weilou shook his head, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her to himself, "Can I eat you?"
Bo Ruoyou's face was wrinkled, but Huo Weilou raised his hand and landed on her jaw to see the wound on her neck. Bo Ruoyou's chin was slightly raised and said with a bitter face: "Mr. Marquis, I want to go home today."
Huo Weilou's eyes moved to her face, "No."
Bo Ruoyou heard a little annoyed, "When will the young woman return home?"
Huo Weilou looked at him, "What's wrong with the Hou's Mansion?"
Bo Ruoyou took a deep breath and took a step back, "If the Marquis regard me as a subordinate, and you are Marquis Wu Zhao, and you ordered me to stay in the Marquis' Mansion, then I dare not disobey."
After she said that, she lowered her eyes and refused to look at him, but her attitude was clear.
Huo Weilou looked at her for a moment and was a little funny for a moment, "When did I order you?"
Bo Ruoyou said helplessly: "You are the same as the order. Anyway, you know that as long as you make up your mind, I will not resist."
Huo Weilou stumbled on her words and said, "Then you take those two maids back to the mansion."
Bo Ruoyou was surprised, "That is the maid of the eldest princess's mansion."
"So what? There are so many servants in the eldest princess's house, not the two of them."
Bo Ruoyou sighed, "But Marquis, I have been taking care of myself since I was a child, and there is no need for so many people to serve me. Besides, there is still a good aunt here, even if I have to apply medicine and apply medicine, it will not be delayed."
Huo Weilou frowned slightly, "Two maids, this is nothing, why don't you? I'm so worried about you that they will go back with you."
Bo Ruoyou was quite helpless. When he heard this, he felt that Huo Weilou was quite aggrieved, so he had to say patiently: "I know that the Marquis is for my own good, but if I want a maid, I will buy maids after returning to the capital. If you ask me to take them back, don't say whether they are willing or not, I will feel quite uncomfortable. Do you want to make me uncomfortable?"
Huo Weilou's eyebrows were slightly sluggish, his phoenix eyes were slightly sunken, and he didn't know what he thought of, and said for a moment: "That's fine, I have to go home. I'll use breakfast first and then go home. I'll enter the palace later, so I can't keep you in front of you."
Bo Ruoyou finally explained something and felt a little relieved. When he heard what he said, he felt a little hot on his face. The two of them went out of the study to have breakfast. After they had finished their breakfast, Huo Weilou said it would do whatever he said and asked her to send her home.
Seeing Bo Ruoyou bid farewell to Eunuch Fu in a relaxed look, Huo Weilou felt quite uncomfortable. When someone brought the carriage and left slowly, Huo Weilou felt even more strange. He wanted to keep the person in front of him, but the man wanted to run to a place he could not see. Could it be that he really responded to Eunuch Fu's question? In fact, she didn't want to, and she had no other feelings in her heart?
When Eunuch Fu was beside him, he guessed what he was thinking when he saw his expression, and asked him, "Marty, is it easy? Is it more elusive than usual?"
Huo Weilou's expression turned right and pressed all kinds of thoughts in his heart. On the outside, he still looked like the rushing Wu Zhaohou. He turned around and entered the mansion indifferently, "It's just that she hasn't reacted yet."
Eunuch Fu shook his head, "It's a long way to go."
Huo Weilou turned a deaf ear and quickly walked towards the study.
Bo Ruoyou was sent home. Cheng Yunzhi was very surprised to see that she had returned early, but Bo Ruoyou keenly realized that Cheng Yunzhi was out of date because his favorite purple clay tea set, two of the cups were smashed.
That set of purple clay pots and cups was her aunt's dowry. Cheng Yunzhi had not broken one in his half life, but this time, two of them broke. When Liang Aunt said that when Cheng Yunzhi failed, Bo Ruoyou didn't believe it.
After talking in the main hall for half a day, Cheng Yunzhi was worried and asked her to go back to the boudoir to rest. When the three of them settled her down, Bo Ruoyou asked, "Who has annoyed her adoptive father these two days?"
Cheng Yunzhi's face changed slightly, and he forced himself to calm down, "I never, I'm just worried about you for my father."
Bo Ruoyou said mercilessly: "Didn't my daughter understand her foster father for years? Let's tell me the truth. Have you gone to inquire about Bo?"
Cheng Yunyi was stunned, "Do you know?"
Bo Ruoyou was suspicious, "What do you know? Bo has lived a good life in the capital over the years, so of course his daughter knows about this."
Cheng Yunzhi's eyes were slightly dark, and he sighed and said, "It's just a matter of justice for you for your father." After a pause, he said, "What's more, Qingming Festival is coming, and you are back now, and it's time to worship your parents."
Bo Ruoyou also looked a little darker, "I want to go to worship, but there is nothing wrong with the other people. If I stayed in Bo, how could I have the mood I am today? Uncles and elders are not good to me, and I am in a place like the capital. I can't be a coroner. I feel bored and bored when I think about it. I went to Qingzhou with my adoptive father and mother, but I am very happy. Everything has gains and losses. This is the truth that my adoptive father taught me in the past, and I have always remembered it."
Cheng Yunzhi wanted to speak for a moment, but he said in the end: "You are right, this matter is still a long-term plan."
Bo Ruoyou felt at ease and comforted Cheng Yun for a while. Cheng Yunzhi had just brought Zhou Liang and his wife out. As soon as he left the door, Cheng Yunzhi's expression completely sank. When he walked to the main hall, he ordered Zhou Liang, "You go to Changshoufang to find out and see if the mansion of Minister Lin is still in Changshoufang. This matter must not be forgotten like this. This is a marriage decided by Youyou's parents back then. If even this matter was taken over by others, I will definitely have no face to see Jingxing in the future."
