Rebirth of marriage

King Xiao went to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion to hire someone. The mansion was bustling with excitement, and the old lady who was trapped in the Buddhist hall also knew the news.

She gritted her teeth in hatred.

Xie Jiu caused her grand old lady to be grounded in the Duke's Mansion, and caused her family to die and be exiled. She was a bastard and a widow, but she was treated so gracefully by King Xiao.

Why?

But no one in the Zhenguo Palace paid attention to her. Even Zhao Huaikang, the softest-hearted man, only secretly gave her some delicious food.

She saw that the food she loved to eat in the past was put in a food box and delivered to her, while the latecomer Xie Jiu was sitting in the dining room of her Zhenguo Duke's mansion, being admired by the stars. Her anger reached the extreme, Then he broke the bowl and cut his veins.

If she died, the town government would have to hold a funeral, which would conflict with the happy event of thanking her for drinking in a month. To thank her for drinking, she would have to observe filial piety, and she would not be able to marry Prince Xiao. She didn't want her to get her wish.

Coupled with the fact that Marquis Mingyuan killed Zhao Huai'an, she was tormented day and night. She hated Marquis Mingyuan, but was also suffering from his being Lingchi, and the decline of her mother's family all made her think about death.

But she didn't die.

Someone was guarding her outside the Buddhist hall, and after she lost a lot of blood, the secret guard appeared calmly.

When Gu Xiao arrived, all the servants near the Buddhist hall had been dismissed, and only a few masters from Zhenguo Gongfu were there.

When the old lady saw him, she struggled to get up, pointed at the wine and said, "How can she, a widow, be worthy of the prince..."

"Shut up." Duke Zhen interrupted her sternly, "If you want to die, go ahead and die. I will not mourn you secretly and throw you into a mass grave with a roll of straw mat."

He saw through her thoughts at a glance, but he didn't expect that she had always cherished her life and had the courage to commit suicide. However, this courage was used in the wrong place and was full of viciousness.

"How dare you." The old lady pinched her neck and roared.

But in fact, she knew that Duke Zhen Guo dared.

Now that she has lost her natal family, she is really dead and has been thrown into a mass grave. The Duke of Zhen did not announce her death to the public, so no one knows that she is dead, and no one seeks justice for her.

Gu Xiao walked to Xie Jiu, held her hand, and said to the old lady, "Whether Xie Jiu is worthy of me or not, you have no right to say. If you want your family to be able to reach Yuyouguan alive, then live well and wait." This king is married to Jiuer.

But you must look for bad luck, even if the Zhenguo Duke is not good, I will make you dead. Don't try to target Jiu'er, she is not someone you can bully, otherwise, you will definitely regret it. "

He took the hair needle between Xie Jiu's fingers and threw it towards the old lady. He said in a cold voice, "I and Jiu'er are getting married soon. I really don't want to listen to your noisy voice. I don't want to live anymore. Then just lie down and take a good rest."

The old lady cannot die, and she cannot be released at will. Otherwise, there is no guarantee that she will not yell that Xie Jiu is not Zhao Huai'an's biological child, and then she will have to become a living dead like Cai before.

But after all, she was the old lady of the Zhenguo Duke's mansion, and she was Xie Jiu's nominal grandmother, and there were other members of the Zhao family around. He didn't want Xie Jiu to be such a villain, so he took action.

The hair needle pierced the old lady's body. He didn't explain it to anyone. He bowed his hand to the Duke of Zhen and went out with a thank you drink.

When he arrived outside the courtyard gate, he asked, "Do you want to go back to Xie's house?"

Xie Jiu shook his head and squeezed his palm, "Don't be upset. I'm fine. Grandpa and the others are also in trouble. If I leave at this time, Grandpa will feel even more uncomfortable."

Previously, her grandfather said that the death of the old lady would delay her marriage with Qingyun and the others, so she understood that they would not be able to kill the old lady.

She could also understand that the old lady's evil was only towards unrelated people like her and Uncle Qian, but she was kind to Zhao Huaikang and Qingyun.

They were blood relatives. Even if she made a mistake, Zhao Huaikang and the others could not watch their grandfather kill the old lady.

It is also difficult for a grandfather to attack the mother of his son and the grandmother of his grandson.

It is easier said than done to destroy relatives for the sake of justice, but difficult to do.

But the old lady's persistence will make her grandfather feel guilty towards her, his granddaughter.

"Then I'll take you back to the courtyard." Gu Xiao didn't want to mention the old lady's troubles anymore. Although he felt sorry for Jiu'er being bullied by the old lady again and again, every family had its own problems. However, the Duke of Zhenguo couldn't manage it well. Madam, he will take care of it.

The Duke of Zhenguo watched the two people leaving together and said to the Crown Prince and Concubine, "Let's find a marriage for Qingyun and Xuetong as soon as possible."

If the old woman is so stubborn, she will bring trouble to the children sooner or later.

Zhao Huaikang's face turned pale, and he suddenly held his wife's hand. He knew what his father meant by these words.

My father didn't plan to keep my mother for too long.

For the sake of his son, he has been tolerant to his mother again and again, but his mother did this again today. He closed his eyes, not knowing what to do.

The Duke of Zhen Guo lowered his eyes and couldn't bear to look at his youngest son anymore, and walked out of the Buddhist hall.

After Gu Xiao sent the person there, he had a conversation with her and then returned to Prince Xiao's Mansion.

When he walked to the outer study room and saw that the wine he drank with Wen Qi was still there, he paused and stared for a moment, thinking of Wen Qi's recent abnormality and the last words he asked.

He picked up the wine jar and took a sip, recalling carefully Wen Qi's reaction when he saw Xie Jiu for the first time, and the process of every contact he had with Xie Jiu.

As he was thinking about it, his eyes widened suddenly, and he hurriedly got up and went into the inner study, picked up a pen and wrote a letter and handed it to Mo Qi to send to Liaodong.

Previously, he sent people to Liaodong to find Xie Jiu's biological father, but there were no clues at all. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack. So, can someone search for the King of Liaodong?

The King of Liaodong never married. Could it be that he was worried that the Princess of Liaodong he married would not be able to treat his brothers' children well, as the rumors said, so he did not marry, but was there some other reason?

He had been in Liaodong for many years and knew Wen Qi fairly well. He was decent, talked a lot, and lived a simple life. He was either in the military camp or in the Liaodong palace. He couldn't think of any secrets that Wen Qi could have that she couldn't tell him.

Except for those related to the King of Liaodong or the Palace of the Liaodong King.

In the hearts of the children of the Wen family, King Liaodong is like their father, deeply respected by them, and they will not say a word about him.

Before the death of the old Liaodong King, Wen Mingyuan had a playful and unruly temper. Could it be that he had been to Yancheng in the south of the Yangtze River?Met Yanyan who sneaked out from home?

Xie Jiu this year, the old Liaodong King and his companions died in battle 19 years ago, so they match up in time.

He was about to get up and go to Wen Qi to ask for clarification, but thinking about the alliance between the King of Liaodong and the Cao family in his previous life, he stopped and sat back on his chair.

Assuming that King Liaodong is Xie Jiu's biological father, it is most likely that Wang Shuyan manipulated King Liaodong in her previous life as Yanyan, or King Liaodong mistakenly believed that the fake Nihuang was his child, so he supported the third prince as his son-in-law.

But the premise of all this is that King Liaodong is indeed the man who fell in love with Yanyan back then.

But all this was his guess, which was too bold. One of them was in Liaodong and the other was in Yancheng. He couldn't rush to find Wen Qi just because of a ridiculous guess.

If his guess is wrong, the reason why Wen Qi has a secret is not because of King Liaodong, but because the King of Liaodong has other thoughts. If he asks, he will only alert the enemy.

Let's wait for the people from Liaodong to reply, or wait for the rest of the Liaodong Palace to arrive in the capital. Maybe we can find out something based on their actions.

Gu Xiao decided this.

In his heart, he hoped that the Liaodong Palace would maintain its original intention. He really didn't want them to embark on a path of no return.

Wen Qi, who had left Prince Xiao's Mansion, was drinking in a tavern. If something hadn't happened to the old lady of the Zhenguo Mansion, Gu Xiao would have replied to him, and he would have had some clues.

He smiled bitterly again. He and Gu Xiao had almost talked about everything in the past, but this time they met, it seemed that they both had secrets, and they were actually strangers.

What's his purpose?

"Why are you drinking alone here?" A female voice interrupted Wen Qi's thoughts. He looked up and saw Feng Zhilan dressed in men's clothing.

"Why did you come to the pub so late at night?" Wen Qi asked.

He had already guessed that she was Feng Liangping's daughter. Now her sister had also come to the capital. She was a woman. She was not at home with her sister at night. What was she doing in this crowded place?

Feng Zhilan came to pack some food for Feng Wuxin. She had just arrived in the capital and was new to everything. She heard people say that the food in the restaurant was delicious, so she became greedy. Feng Zhilan felt sorry for her sister, so she changed her clothes and came out.

Unexpectedly, he didn't expect to see Wen Qi drinking alone. She seemed to have drunk a lot, so she came over to take a look and said, "I'm here to buy some things. Where is your bodyguard?"

"I'm going to do some errands with them." He raised the wine glass in his hand, "Let's have a drink together?"

Feng Zhilan wanted to refuse, but she heard him say, "I used to have friends to drink with, but now I don't even have any friends to drink with."

My heart softened and I said, "Let's drink somewhere else."
