With no outsiders in front of her, Mrs. Gu leaned back softly on her chair. What was going on these days?

"Mom, please relax, uncle will take action. I think father will be even more afraid." Qiao Wenqing, who was beside him, could only comfort Gu in this way.

Gu Shangshu was well aware of these messy things in the Hou Mansion. He had been suppressing his anger for the sake of the peace of the Qiao family, and he only vented it out because of the opportunity of drinking.

"It's okay, mother, that's all. It's impossible for me and your father to go back to the past." I'm not afraid of doing anything to hurt our relationship.

What's more, they don't have much of a past.

Seeing that it was getting too late, he asked the two children to go back and rest first.

Back at the house, Qiao Guxin was not sleepy. He knocked on the table with his hands, thinking about the day's events. It seemed that there was hope.

Early the next morning, Qiao Gu regained his composure and looked at the black spots under his eyes in the bronze mirror, clearly telling others that he had not slept well.

Nian Xiang was attentive and asked everyone to boil the eggs early in the morning. After peeling them off, he quickly took the eggs and rolled them around and around under her eyes. The delicate and tight feeling seemed to be able to take away all her unreality.

should.

Originally, Qiao Gu wanted to sleep a little longer, but Ning Shunhou was drunk and had no early morning leave. He happened to be waiting for the children to pay their respects in Gu's yard.

It was a bit overcast in the morning, but not too hot, so Qiao Guxin chose a light blue dress, which was a color that would make her face look better.

This dress is hooked with red thread. It is obviously a light and elegant color, but it gives people a gorgeous feeling, which is a perfect match for this cloudy day.

Qiao Guxin arrived too early. The second concubine had already sat down and quickly greeted Qiao Guxin when she came in.

Qiao Wenzhi even looked at him from afar.

"Did the eldest lady not sleep well yesterday?" Although she suppressed it with rouge, the second aunt could still tell it at a glance.

There was such a big commotion in Ningshun Hou yesterday. It is estimated that everyone in the house is aware of it, and Qiao's heart is not concealed. "I didn't go to bed until after midnight. I almost didn't get up this morning."

He responded as if nothing had happened.

Just as he was talking, the third aunt came with Qiao Wenbing, but it was strange. Qiao Wenbing came back early yesterday, and Ning Shunhou's drunken madness did not disturb him, but they didn't expect them to see it.

It seems like I stayed up late.

Waiting for Qiao Wenqing to come over, no one has slept well.

Seeing the scene in front of her, the second aunt couldn't help but chuckle under her veil, "If you don't know, you'd think you were pushing Pai Gow behind our backs all night."

"Auntie, I'm sure you'll have some fun." Qiao Wenbing has always been a quick talker, and he said it directly without using his brain.

The second aunt's smile froze, and then she nodded and pretended to drink tea.

"It's really interesting. Let's play some together when we get free someday." Qiao Guxin added with a smile.

As soon as she spoke, Qiao Wenbing immediately shut his mouth tightly.

When everyone is here, the people below invite the two masters over.

Mrs. Gu slept in the wing room, and she didn't bring many clothes with her. She only wore a set of ordinary clothes. Her hair was still combed in the same way as yesterday, because she didn't sleep well last night, and her face was the worst.

Ning Shun, who was waiting next to him, had already changed into his regular clothes with a stand-up collar, covering up the red mark that Gu Shangshu pinched out yesterday.

The two of them sat alone in the main seat, neither speaking, but there was a strange harmony.

The people below stood up to say hello. Ning Shunhou raised his hand and ordered the people below him to change into refreshing tea.

Due to a severe hangover and a headache, even his voice became hoarse. After Ning Shunhou finished explaining, he closed his eyes and rested himself.

Mrs. Gu glanced sideways at Marquis Ning Shun. She had been resting well, but Marquis Ning Shun sent someone to say something. They hadn't sat together for a long time, and they took advantage of the time when the children were paying their respects to chat a few words.

I never thought that this was not just a small talk, but that I was here to sleep in front of the children.

This family can only be supported by the Gu family. She pretended to be fine and looked sideways at the third concubine, "Wen Bing's wife also recommended Wen Bing to participate in this encore. I think he has already decided to recruit a new wife."

After learning it, I asked my brother to say hello there and let Wen Ping pass in advance. If I am on the list this time, everyone will be happy. If I still need to continue, I should adapt in advance. Do you think it is suitable? "

Let the students go in advance, and they are all children participating in Enke this year, so there are not too many people.

It was not the Gu family who took the initiative to bring up this matter, and no matter what, she would not let her mother-in-law stand up for the concubine. It was the Zhang family who always felt that Gu Shangshu acted impulsively, so this was equivalent to an apology in disguise.

If Mrs. Gu still has to live her life, it will be hard to tear her face apart.

Upon hearing this, Third Yiniang quickly pulled Qiao Wen up and said, "Thank you, madam."

Most of the tutors in Taixue were related to the Hanlin Academy. If you get a good tutor, you will benefit a lot. For Qiao Wenbing, this is a great good thing.

Last night, Qiao Wenbing was talking to Third Yiniang about what would happen if he didn't get the chance to make the list this time.

The third aunt said it didn't matter at that time. Qiao Wenqing was still young and it was rare for her to be recommended by her master. Even if she failed this time, there would be opportunities in the future.

But words are words. At this moment, how could she not think about it?

I tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep.

"Get up quickly, don't let your family see anyone outside like this." Mrs. Gu raised her hand and asked Grandma Jin to help her up.

She didn't really want to be a good person, nor did she want to give Ning Shunhou the face, but she was always afraid of affecting her son's mood. The whole family just pretended to be harmonious.

Third Yiniang was helped up and she was so excited that she wiped the tears from her eyes.

The whole room was filled with gentleness and a demeanor that I had not seen for a long time, but it was at this time that Qiao Xunfeng asked to see him.

Hearing Qiao Xunfeng coming, no one in the room could speak. Mrs. Gu glanced at Ning Shunhou, who was sitting next to him. At this moment, he opened his eyes, but he still didn't speak.

Mrs. Gu subconsciously smoothed her clothes, and then naturally put her hands on the edge of the chair, "It's rare that Feng girl is interested, please invite people in."

She is the dignified mistress of the Hou Mansion, so she will not be frightened by a concubine.

Soon, Qiao Xunfeng was helped in by Yue Fu. The injury on her face was not healed yet. She was wearing a veil and walked forward step by step.

With tears shining in his eyes, he looked at Ning Shunhou steadily, "Yesterday, I heard that the Marquis told me to get out, so I came here specifically to ask if I can return to Luncheng?"

After all, the wound was still involved, so Qiao Xunfeng spoke like a child just learning to speak, slowly speaking word by word.

Ning Shunhou's eyes flashed when Qiao Xunfeng said that, and then he closed his eyes again, "Wangzhi, you have to learn the rules well. You don't even know how to say hello when you meet your elders? Give it to your mother!"

The voice was extremely cold.

Qiao Xunfeng probably didn't expect that Ning Shunhou would suddenly turn against her and lose her share in front of so many people.

Qiao Xunfeng opened her eyes, and tears fell down in large pieces.

It was like a big stone hitting Ning Shunhou's heart, which made him upset. He slammed the table, his finger touched Gu's tea cup, and it fell to the ground with a clatter.

Mrs. Gu almost got scalded by the hot water and quickly turned away.

Marquis Ning Shun didn't see Gu's actions, but waved his hand impatiently, "What concubine can't wait for my aunt in the morning and dusk, so why are you so aggrieved? Come here, teach Miss Feng the rules, and give it to Madam.

kowtow!"

There were people from the Gu family around. Ning Shun waited for this order, but no one reacted. Seeing that no one moved, Grandma Jin suddenly stood up.

No matter what kind of madness Ning Shunhou was having today, it was a rare opportunity to establish her authority, so she went up and kicked Qiao Xunfeng in the leg.

Qiao Xunfeng was unprepared and crawled directly to the ground.

He looked up at the family, who all looked at him condescendingly. Tears were still hanging in the corners of his eyes, but he forced himself not to fall.

Ning Shunhou suddenly turned his face, and Yue Fu was so frightened that she didn't dare to say a word.

At this moment, the people below had already put away the tea cups that had fallen on the floor, and Mrs. Gu sat on the chair again.

However, she didn't know how to pretend to be a good person and asked someone to help Qiao Xifeng up.

When Ning Shunhou saw that Mrs. Gu was silent, he yelled at Qiao Xunfeng again, "Call someone!"

Qiao Xunfeng's eyes were red and she looked at Ning Shunhou bitterly. Looking at her unyielding expression, Ning Shunhou suddenly walked over and raised his hand.

Qiao Xunfeng pulled off her veil directly, revealing her red and swollen face. Because of the medicine on her face, she looked horribly red, as if she had really lost her appearance.

Mrs. Gu knew that Qiao Gu was determined to take action, but she didn't see how far she had beaten him.

Now it seems that Mrs. Gu curled her lips and only had two words in her mind: She deserves it!

Seeing Ning Shunhou close his eyes, Qiao Xunfeng lowered her head before she could be slapped, "Daughter, please give your regards to your father and mother."

The voice was as gentle as before.

Ning Shunhou finally put down his hand and said, "Get up."

Then he raised his hand to indicate the lowest position, "Sit down, this will be the rule from now on. If anyone breaks the rule, I will not be lenient!"

Yue Fu felt as if she had passed through the gates of hell. She was covered in cold sweat and was helped up by a trembling figure.

Qiao Xunfeng bit her lip and sat on the chair. She sat behind everyone, but her position was not even comparable to that of her aunt.

Qiao Xunfeng gritted her teeth and turned the handkerchief round and round.

The second aunt's eyes turned slightly, and then she laughed, "That's it. The Marquis Mansion is a high-ranking compound and it has to pay attention to the etiquette of honor and inferiority. Miss Feng will learn from several masters and she will definitely improve."

She was not a talkative person, but thinking about how she was taken to the Marquis Mansion for no reason and her daughter had suffered a lot because of her, she couldn't help but sarcastic words to Qiao Xunfeng.

In the past, Qiao Xunfeng would never have taken her aunt seriously, but now with Ning Shunhou's attitude, even a servant could waste her time.

"Okay, you are the only one who can speak!" Ning Shunhou glared at the second aunt.

The second aunt quickly got up and said, "I know that I am wrong. I just told Miss Feng about the rules, but now I have forgotten it. The two masters of the house have not spoken. How can someone with a low status like me speak?"

Angry, bite every word clearly.

"That's all, it's not a big deal. It's just a small talk, not that important." Ning Shunhou wanted to speak, but was blocked by Gu.

"Brother Qing and Wen Bing are leaving the house tomorrow. I compiled a list of things to bring last night. You can all take a look at it later. If there is anything missing, go directly to Gongzhong to get it without having to report it to me."

Headed up.

Third Yiniang stood up again and said, "Thank you, madam, for your kindness."

After saying this, Mrs. Gu still wanted to give a few words of advice, "Although the two children are still young, we will seize every opportunity. We have to endure hardships and learn more these days. In the future, you will be honored by being named on the gold list. Mother will prepare a banquet for you.

You can have as much fun as you want for three days."
