Xiao Jinrong was escorted to Dali Temple.
King Cheng followed him.
Xiao Mu followed Mr. Hou back home.
"Master Hou, are you here to arrest people as soon as you return to Beijing?" Xiao Mu asked.
"Yes!" I heard that Xiao Jinrong arranged for people to surround the teahouse, and I also found out that you happened to be in the teahouse, so I quickly led people over here.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your concern!" Xiao Mu said quickly.
"Hey, what does one family say about two families? You took a risk to save me in Huizhou, and now I help you in time. Isn't this what you should do?
But from what I see, you don’t seem to need my help, you’re handling it well on your own! "
"Fortunately, Lingyuan Pavilion has people here, so we won't be passive!" Xiao Mu said modestly.
"Master of Lingyuan Pavilion!" the Marquis said,
"You boy are really good at hiding your identity! After so many years, you actually ignored your identity as the prince's legitimate son and the master of Lingyuan Pavilion and only stayed dormant in a small place like Qingshan Village. This kind of resilience puts me, an old man, to shame! "
Xiao Mu said: "Master Hou, I'm sorry. This is not resilience. I just don't want to come back and face the people and things in Beijing."
After hearing this, the Marquis said nothing and just nodded slowly.
"I know your difficulties. I also heard about what happened to your father and mother back then. Since you don't want to face your father, then from now on, you can live in the Hou Mansion to avoid going back and seeing Lao Xiao's stinky face. "
"Thank you, Lord Marquis, for taking me in!" Xiao Mu said with a smile.
When the two returned home, the old lady and Ye Luoxin had already received the news and were waiting anxiously in the yard.
Seeing them coming in, the two people immediately greeted them happily.
The two female relatives were all eagerly checking the bodies of their men, for fear that they would be injured.
After confirming that there was no problem, Ye Luoxin immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay. Is everything solved?"
Xiao Mu nodded.
Ye Luoxin was relieved, held his hand, and smiled softly.
The painting style on the other side is a little different.
Seeing that Mr. Hou was not injured, the old lady immediately punched him on the shoulder.
"You still know you're coming back? How many days has it been? Can't you even write a letter home to say you're safe?"
The Marquis quickly held the old lady's hand: "Madam, please be patient, my armor is so hard, madam, be careful your hands hurt."
"Hmph! Stop doing this nonsense for me!"
The old lady didn't appreciate it at all: "Tell me about you, how many times have you promised me that as you get older, you will definitely hold out less hands and let the young people do the things in the court in the future.
But what about now? This time I almost risked my life! If your grandson-in-law hadn't come to save you, you would have burned all the paper in Qiqi! "
The Marquis was not upset when he heard this, he just said:
"Madam, that's an exaggeration. It's an exaggeration. How could it be that long? At most it was thirty-seven!"
"snort!"
The old lady turned around and returned to her yard.
When Ye Luoxin and Xiao Mu saw each other, they couldn't help but smile at each other and returned to their rooms.
In the main room.
The Marquis was still coaxing the old lady with earnest words.
While admitting his mistake, he took off his armor and let his wife check his body.
"Look, everything is fine, no injuries at all! Although this time it was a bit thrilling, but luckily there was no danger. And through this incident, our grandson-in-law has also made great contributions. Isn't this a good thing? ? The emperor will choose a day to reward him."
"What does this have to do with you? My grandson-in-law is so good, he will get this reward sooner or later!
Besides, what good is it to be respected by the emperor?
I've spent my whole life working for him, but I haven't seen much benefit! It would be better for two people to live a carefree life among the people, make money by their own abilities, and spend it as they please. I don't know how happy they would be. "
"Hey! Madam, be careful what you say!"
The Marquis made a gesture to cover his wife's mouth.
"You just have to think about this idea in your own mind, but you can't just talk about it everywhere."
"Humph! I knew the two of us would never want to go to the same place!" the old lady said displeased.
The Marquis quickly explained: "What are you talking about, madam? Let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about our son. From childhood to adulthood, when did I force him to become an official? He said business is business, he can't say A family is not a family!
This is not all because of respect for the wife! "
"Hmph! Don't say you respect my opinion!" The old lady said angrily after hearing this: "Isn't the reason why you are like this all because something happened to our daughter?
If she hadn't done that, I'm afraid you would still be deadheaded by now! "
Seeing his wife becoming more and more angry as she spoke, the Marquis quickly held her shoulders and brought her to a chair to sit down: "We won't mention this matter anymore. Let's not mention it anymore. Madam, please calm down."
The Marquis was about to pour tea for the old lady. When he picked up the teapot, he suddenly saw a white purse on the table.
"This purse," Mr. Hou picked it up and looked at it, "it looks very special!"
The old lady immediately reached out and pinched her purse: "Don't touch what I made!"
Upon hearing this, the Marquis refused to let go.
"Mrs. did this?
This purse doesn't look like something a woman can carry. Could it be that Madam made it for me? "
As he said that, he moved his purse to his waist: "Well, it fits very well!"
The old lady also wanted to snatch the purse away: "Who said it was made for you? Stop being so sentimental!"
But the Marquis refused to let go no matter what he said: "Then just think of it as asking for a favor from Madam, and give the whole thing to me."
Seeing that Mr. Hou refused to return it to him, the old lady had no choice but to say: "This is my first time making a purse, and it's too rough. If you want it, I'll make another one for you later!"
Ye Luoxin taught her this purse two days ago, and the two of them worked together to make it.
When I first made it, I thought it would be a gift to welcome the Marquis back.
But after it was done, the old lady was not satisfied at all.
Thinking of making one again.
After listening to the lady's words, the Marquis raised the purse to his eyes and looked at it carefully: "Why is it bad? Isn't this good? Madam, you don't have to bother to make it again, I will just wear this."
As he said that, he tied the purse around his waist: "Look, how suitable it is!"
"You old stubborn!" Madam pointed at him angrily.
But the Marquis took two steps back and said, "I'm going to show it to others and let everyone comment on it to see if it's suitable or not!"
With that said, the Marquis walked backwards out of the yard.
