Agui reminded in a low voice: "Master, it's better to avoid suspicion."
Lu Bochu put his hands behind his waist and looked upright. Why should he avoid suspicion? If your body is upright, you will not be afraid of your shadow being crooked.
He walked upright and walked to An Qien's table and sat down.
A dark shadow suddenly covered An Qi'en's eyes. She subconsciously raised her eyes and saw Lu Bochu.
"Brother Bochu." She stood up gently.
"No need to salute."
Lu Bochu whispered, after all, the storyteller was still on stage.
An Qien nodded slightly, stopped talking and concentrated on listening to the book. She liked to listen to these storytelling stories, most of which had tragic endings, making people miss them for a long time.
After the storytelling on the stage ended, there was the noise of people talking in the audience.
An Qien and Lu Bochu picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea together, and then put down the tea cup at about the same time.
"It didn't work out, I hope it was entrusted to me, and Lu is deeply sorry."
Lu Bochu's eyebrows were sincere, and his deep eyes were full of self-blame. He had always wanted to apologize to her, but never had the chance. He even went to An's house specifically to apologize, but he didn't meet her.
If it hadn't been for the chance encounter at the teahouse today, Lu Bochu wouldn't have known when he would be able to say this to her.
An Qi'en felt ashamed of these words and immediately said gratefully: "Brother Bochu, please don't say that. Qi'en is very grateful to my brother for speaking up. This is not an easy matter, and something unexpected happened. This result is also unavoidable." ."
Lu Bochu still felt bad. He could see the ambition for freedom in her gentle and calm eyes. Only at this moment did he realize that what about the prince, the only one who could reverse the situation was his father.
Only when the right is supreme can many things come true.
Lu Bochu sighed deeply in his heart, presumably her life in the Hou Mansion was not easy now.
An Qi'en said with sincere respect: "Brother Bochu, don't worry, everything is fine with Qi'en."
Lu Bochu thought deeply: "Let's wait for now."
etc?
An Qien frowned suspiciously, what did Lu Bochu mean? Does he have any idea? There were so many people talking and it was hard to talk, so she didn't ask in detail.
Lu Bochu took a sip of tea and stood up to leave. He didn't stay long and didn't say a single unnecessary word.
An Qi'en was still listening to the book. Anyway, she was bored in the courtyard when she returned to the Marquis Mansion. She had already handed over the housekeeping rights, and now she had a lot of time to relax.
Lu Bochu came out of the teahouse and ran straight to the carriage: "Go back to the palace."
Agui was confused: "Master, doesn't he still want to go to An Mansion to find Young Master An?"
"Go another day."
He walked in a hurry, as if there was something big going on back in the palace!
Agui followed him, Lu Bo first got on the carriage, and then Agui drove the carriage.
After returning to the palace, Lu Bochu went to court every day! He was very diligent. As long as there was a hard job in the court that no one else did, he would volunteer. Emperor Changshun saw that his expectations for him were growing.
...
An Qi'en no longer cared about everything in the Hou Mansion. He was just pretending before, but now he doesn't even pretend anymore.
The weather was very hot in summer, so An Qien made lychee ointment, which Yuanzi brought back to her parents' house in the ice and snow.
While she was walking with her things on her front legs, Mrs. Liu went to Mrs. Qiao and cried on her back legs.
After An Qien left the house, Mrs. Liu took over. She has been very busy these days and has a few gray hairs on her temples. She doesn't want to take care of this house for a day.
She begged with a grimace: "Mother, my daughter-in-law is stupid and careless. She can still take care of the small things in the palace, but she has to take care of the monthly food and clothing expenses. She is really powerless."
Mrs. Qiao asked with a dark face, "Who cares if you don't care? Do you want me, an old woman, to care?"
Mrs. Liu complained: "It's true that this Qi'en is just living a good life and just messing around! She went back to her parents' house again and brought back a lot of food. I think this Hou's Mansion is almost becoming the warehouse of An's Mansion. Well, mother, what do you think we should do?"
Mrs. Qiao frowned and said in a muffled voice, "She is so arrogant now. She doesn't even come to say hello these days. She runs out of a woman's house every now and then on purpose. She deliberately wants Jiang Hong to divorce her!"
"I'm not as happy as she wanted. Didn't His Majesty reward her with a thousand taels of gold? If the government doesn't have enough money, it will be used. I don't need to say hello to her, but just ask people to search her room. I don't want to use it all. She can still use it." Reporting to the official failed!"
Mrs. Qiao doesn't believe that this girl like her can't be cured. Let her make whatever troubles she wants. Anyway, she can't escape from the Hou Mansion in this life!
Mrs. Liu had a sad look on her face: "Mother, my daughter-in-law has also thought of this. There is no such gold in the warehouse. Her daughter-in-law in the yard also searched several times while she was out. She didn't find even a tael of gold. What do you think she said? Where did you hide your things?"
Mrs. Liu was only three feet away from digging the ground. She looked at Mrs. Qiao in confusion.
Mrs. Qiao also wondered where she could hide such a large sum of gold and dowry.
The old lady suddenly thought of something and was startled: "She won't take it outside and hide it, right?"
Mrs. Liu thought it was impossible. Every time An Qien went out, Mrs. Liu would send someone to follow her secretly according to Mrs. Qiao's wishes. She didn't see her taking anything out.
"It's impossible to take so many things out! The maid is following you all the time!"
Mrs. Qiao was also puzzled and felt even more confused and depressed: "She has had a different intention with the Hou Mansion for a long time, so naturally she did everything perfectly."
Ms. Liu returned to the matter of housekeeping. She really didn't want to take care of it anymore and begged again: "Mom, my daughter-in-law really can't do the housekeeping thing. How about..."
She didn't dare to tell the old lady to do the housekeeping thing herself. This was disobedient to her mother-in-law. Even though she didn't finish her words, Mrs. Qiao still understood what she meant.
Mrs. Qiao thought carefully about the time Liu's housekeeper had been in charge of, and the Hou Mansion would definitely be in a mess if it continued like this. After thinking about it, she said: "I will find two more capable housekeepers for you, and you can learn more about bookkeeping. "
Ms. Liu was still not happy. She had been used to having a lot of leisure in the past few years, and she no longer wanted to take care of the worries in the house. She had already aged several years after only taking care of it for a month, but she couldn't disobey her mother-in-law. You have to bite the bullet and continue doing it if you want to.
"Yes, mother."
Mrs. Qiao felt dizzy when she saw her, raised her hands and said impatiently: "Go back, I'll take a rest."
Ms. Liu bowed her knees and said, "My daughter-in-law is resigning."
As soon as Ms. Liu left, Mrs. Qiao ordered her to do it cleanly: "Do it more cleanly. She knows medical skills, and we can't let her find out. We must not be aware of it."
Mother Wu responded in a low voice: "Don't worry, old lady, even a silver needle can't test this thing. Young lady will not doubt it."
Mrs. Qiao's eyes deepened. She lost all the old man's kindness and became full of cruelty. Since An Qien and the Hou Mansion had different intentions, the Hou Mansion could only let her collapse on the bed! You can’t give birth anyway! Keeping her is just keeping the power behind her.
Look how noisy she is!
