After hearing what Komatsu Reiko said, Hosokawa Mokiyuki also had a new understanding of Han Du's shamelessness.
Not only did Han Du not try his best to cover up such a private matter, he even looked like he didn't admit it.
"Master, now Han Du doesn't admit his fault, what should we do?"
Komatsu Reiko sneered: "It's not that easy to eat and sleep for free."
...
A piece of secret news spread among the market at an extremely fast speed under the secret promotion of thoughtful people.
"The Duke of Zhen Guo has known a woman from the Japanese mission for a long time? Is this true or false?"
"What else is real or fake? Let me tell you, it's not just that we know each other, but that they...this..." The person who spoke kept raising his eyebrows, winking in a way that made people laugh. Thinking.
Some people couldn't see it and said in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense. The Duke of Zhen Guo was a wise man, how could he do such a thing?"
"Everyone knows that Lord Zhenguo is a hero, but...this hero also has a hard time being a beauty, hahaha..."
People are very curious about the affairs between men and women. This is human nature. Moreover, the men and women here are extraordinary. The Japanese girls are extremely beautiful, and Han Du is in a high position.
As a result, the news reached Anqing's ears within a few days.
"Husband..." An Qing looked at Han Du hesitantly, "Did you really have anything to do with that Japanese girl?"
Han Du glanced at An Qing and asked with a smile: "What? Do you think I really had sex with her?"
An Qing looked hesitant, paused and said, "Of course I believe that my husband has nothing to do with her, but the news has spread like wildfire..."
Han Du chuckled and said: "Ordinary people are curious. When they encounter such news, they will not immediately think about whether the news is true or false. Instead, they will desperately explore the matter."
"I just want to ask, husband, you and her..." An Qing's mind was now filled with what happened between Han Du and the Japanese girl. She didn't want to care about anything else, and she didn't want to hear anything else.
Han Du sighed helplessly. He didn't want to tell An Qing, but wanted to divert her attention. He didn't expect An Qing to have such a big reaction and insist on asking what happened.
So Han Du had no choice but to tell An Qing the whole story in detail, then shook his head slightly and said, "This woman's scheming is extraordinary. She will do anything to achieve her goal at any cost."
After An Qing finished listening, he looked at Han Du with strange eyes.
"Why are you looking at me like this? Don't you believe what I say?" Han Du was a little strange.
An Qing shook his head slightly and said in a strange tone: "Of course I believe what your husband said, but..."
"But what?" Han Du asked.
"But my husband didn't enjoy it at all at that time?" An Qing said meaningfully: "I heard that this Japanese girl is very beautiful and charming. My husband is so beautiful and blessed. It is rare to drug him every time. Stunning."
Han Du curled his lips and glanced at An Qing helplessly, "Did you think it was impossible in the capital? I was in Jeolla Province at that time. When she was overturned by her medicine, I thought someone was going to assassinate me, and it was too late to save my life. , where can I think about those things?"
An Qing blinked and believed Han Du's words. But then he asked: "Oh? According to my husband, did my husband enjoy it when he was little sister Yaoyue?"
Han Du was immediately paused when asked, and said with some guilt: "Isn't this talking about Xiaosong Lingzi, why is it still related to Yuan Yuan?"
As a last resort, Han Du lifted up the quilt and huddled under the quilt, covering his head tightly.
How could Anqing allow Han Du to flinch, and stretched out his hand to lift the quilt: "You hide every time when Yao Yue is mentioned. They even gave birth to a daughter for you, how can you still hide for the rest of your life?"
"Sleep, sleep..." Han Du tightly covered his head with the quilt with both hands, and said perfunctorily to An Qing.
Han Du also knew that continuing to hide like this was not an option, but what could he do? On one side is Anqing, on the other side is Yaoyue. If one protects Yao Yue, it will inevitably harm Anqing; if one protects Anqing, it will inevitably harm Yao Yue. It is simply impossible to have both ends.
Fortunately, Yao Yue took the initiative to give in. After giving birth to her daughter, she lived alone with her daughter without disturbing Han Du, thus avoiding Han Du's dilemma.
Han Du is also satisfied with the current situation. Although he says he will owe his daughter, Han Du has decided to prepare a generous dowry for his daughter when she gets married.
An Qing angrily punched Han Du several times across the quilt, but Han Du seemed to be dead and had no reaction at all, which made her very angry.
...
When the rumors spread, Han Du didn't pay much attention to them, thinking that such gossip between men and women would naturally disappear after a while. Although things between men and women can greatly arouse people's interest and passion, this passion comes and goes quickly.
But the result was just the opposite. Instead of subsided, the rumors only intensified.
The main reason is that Komatsu Reiko keeps releasing new rumors, making this matter always on people's lips.
After Xu Chengfei learned that the Japanese girl was not really looking for him, but Han Du, he instantly realized that Han Du must have used his name to pretend to be her.
Later, when the two got together many times, Xu Chengfei teased Han Du about this matter. Han Du was speechless and could only smile bitterly.
"Is there any news at the Zhenguogong Palace?" Komatsu Reiko kept an eye on the development of rumors every day, and would ask Hosokawa Noriyuki to inquire about the daily situation.
Hosokawa Mochizuki said: "Return to the master, no."
"Still no movement?" Komatsu Reiko suddenly became a little anxious. She had done so many things, but the other party didn't react at all. This made her feel like she had been punched in cotton.
Hosokawa Mokiyuki was also full of doubts, "Logically speaking, Han Du would not ignore it whether it was for his face or the reputation of the government. But the result was just like this, and his subordinates did not Know what’s going on.”
"Where is Han Du? What has he been doing recently?" Komatsu Lingzi asked again.
"Ever since Master met him, he has been hiding in the house and has never come out. Apparently he is also avoiding us. Master, what should we do now?"
Xiaosong Lingzi stood up suddenly and looked in the direction of the Zhenguo Palace with fierce eyes, "Han Du is full of tricks and we can't take him lightly."
"What are you going to do, Master?"
Komatsu Reiko turned her back to Hosokawa Mochiyuki, and a sneer appeared on her face: "Isn't he unwilling to see me? Then I will let him fly to see me!"
The next day, Xiaosong Lingzi repeated his old tricks and ran to the gate of the Zhenguo Palace to see Han Du.
Since this matter has long been a hubbub in the market, Komatsu Reiko attracted the attention of countless people as soon as she appeared.
Today, Komatsu Lingzi is dressed in plain white, beautifully dressed, standing at the door of the house with her head lowered, like a poor person who has been abandoned by chaos, and has won the sympathy of many people.
Han Du listened to the butler's report with a livid face, and shouted sternly: "What does Warwick do? Can't even drive away a woman? Give the order, if he doesn't drive away the women and people at the door immediately, then he will No need to come back!”
"Yes!" The fifth uncle, the butler, was about to turn around and leave.
"Wait a minute." An Qing quickly stopped him and ordered: "Don't rush to drive people away yet, wait for me to discuss it with the father-in-law."
"Yes, please excuse me." The butler's face showed a relaxed look and he quickly left.
Han Du looked at An Qing in confusion, "What do you want to say?"
An Qing sighed and smiled, pulled Han Du to sit down, and said: "This matter has caused a storm in the city, and there are people outside. If you drive them away, how will the people view the Zhenguo Palace? ? Besides, that woman is probably waiting for you to send someone to drive her away. If so, wouldn’t it be fulfilling her wish? "
Han Du pondered for a moment and looked up at An Qing: "What do you want to do?"
An Qing sighed helplessly and said: "It's not possible to drive her away, and it's not okay to just leave her hanging at the door. In my opinion, it's better to let her in. What exactly does she want, it's better to make it clear to her face."
Han Du was stunned for a moment, not expecting An Qing to have such an idea.
He shook his head directly and said: "No! This woman wants to force me to stop the war between the north and the south of the Japanese country. The Japanese country was disrespectful to me, the Ming Dynasty. Not only did they not surrender, but they also killed the Ming Dynasty envoys. The late emperor has always been worried about this, and it was not easy When the Ming Dynasty became stronger and its navy became stronger, it was finally possible to attack the Japanese country. Unfortunately, the late emperor still did not wait until the day when the Ming Dynasty completely conquered the Japanese country. However, the late emperor was still thinking about this matter when he died, and there was absolutely no room for change. .”
An Qing didn't know that Xiaosong Lingzi could be involved in such a big event.
Since it was his father's last wish, Anqing naturally did not dare to take it lightly.
But just letting Komatsu Reiko block the door was not an option, so she thought of a compromise.
"How about this, you don't have to see her. How about I call her in and meet her?"
Han Du thought for a moment and thought this was a good idea. Anqing is not involved in affairs, so even if Komatsu Reiko makes any request, she can justifiably refuse it.
And just leaving Komatsu Reiko at the door is not an option. Of course, Han Du could feel angry and leave her alone at the door, but this would not look good on his face after all. If there is no other way, then Han Du can bite the bullet and endure it. But now that there is a better way, why not use it?
"Okay." Han Du nodded.
Then he said with some regret: "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have told you about this, so as not to make you worry about it."
"Since it's a matter, it must be solved. We husband and wife are of the same mind, are we still afraid that we can't solve the matter?" An Qing smiled softly and patted the back of Han Du's hand.
