Houfu Key Class

Early in the morning, the sky was slightly bright.

Xu Wan woke up, she rubbed her eyes in a daze, and when she raised her hand, she found that she had not taken off her clothes, but she had slept in the quilt all night.

Hmm?

Didn't she sit by the bed waiting for Zong Zhao last night?

"Madam, you are awake." Cuizhi came in with water.

Xu Wan lifted the quilt and replied while putting on her shoes: "Zong... Didn't my husband come back last night?"

"Ah?" Cuizhi said in surprise, "He came back, he went back to the room before midnight, didn't Madam know?"

Xu Wan's eyes widened, she quickly looked at the bed again, she was lying in the middle, there seemed to be no trace of another person, "I fell asleep last night, I don't remember."

Cuizhi understood instantly, she laughed and said: "That's because the young marquis didn't wake you up, no wonder we waited outside the door all night, and there was no movement in the room."

Xu Wan: "..."

What are you waiting for? What do you mean by no movement? Why do you have to say it to her face? How embarrassing! !

Xu Wan stood up and looked around the room. There were no couches or recliners in her room, only a chair next to the desk.

She walked over and saw a piece of paper on the table with three big characters written on it.

"Return at the end of the month."

The handwriting was neat and powerful, written by Zong Zhao.

Did he sleep here last night?

Xu Wan felt a little strange. In this era where husbands are the most important, wives should get up early and go to bed late to serve their husbands. Has there ever been a husband who was afraid of disturbing his wife's sleep and made do with sleeping at the desk?

What kind of person is Zong Zhao...

Xu Wan couldn't figure it out, so she said to Cuizhi: "My husband went out to do something. He left a letter saying that he would return at the end of the month. Send someone to tell my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Also, remove all the red decorations in the room. It makes me a little dizzy."

"Yes."

When the room returned to its familiar appearance, Xu Wan's tense heart finally returned to normal.

"Mom, where is my dad?" The little devil jumped in from outside, looking around excitedly.

Xu Wan raised the paper in her hand and said lightly, "Gone."

"Ah!! How could he be gone?" Zong Jincheng was so shocked that he ran over quickly. When he saw the words on the paper, he was relieved. "It turns out that he will be back at the end of the month. I was scared to death. I thought Dad would be gone for many years again."

Xu Wan chuckled and said, "Before, it was called missing, not gone for many years. Who would not go home for so many years without any problems?"

The little devil nodded and said, "That makes sense. Then I will continue to wait for Dad, hehe."

"By the way, has He Zheng not come back yet?" Xu Wan asked.

Zong Jincheng shook his head and said, "No, I don't know what's going on in his family. Maybe his family is seriously ill?"

"Then let's wait a little longer." Xu Wan said.

Zong Jincheng said excitedly, "By the way, I have to write a letter to He Zheng and tell him that my dad is back, hahaha..."

The kid ran away again after saying that.

Xu Wan said, "You are so arrogant and you can't stop talking."

In the evening.

The maids carried the clothes and items that the old lady had ordered for Zong Zhao and put them into the room one by one. Xu Wan sat aside and watched them busy. The room, which was originally a little empty, was gradually filled with another person's things. Soon, that person would live with her every day.

Xu Wan thought: Calm down, calm down, who doesn't have a roommate?

The students in their key class all have one!

However, since the idea of ​​roommates came up that day, Xu Wan's mood has become more peaceful, and she even has the energy to direct the placement of items and fill the whole room.

She sighed: "The happiness of the big bedroom will be gone forever..."

Three days later, Zong Jincheng couldn't sit still.

He ran over anxiously, saying anxiously, "Mom, I wrote a letter to He Zheng, it's been three days, and he hasn't replied to me yet."

Xu Wan said, "Maybe he was delayed by something."

Zong Jincheng shook his head fiercely and said, "Impossible, He Zheng values ​​me the most. Even if he doesn't eat or sleep, he will find time to write to me. This is not normal. Did something happen to him?"

Xu Wan said, "He Zheng is going back to his own home, what could happen?"

Zong Jincheng said anxiously, "Did his father beat him again, so he couldn't get up and write to me?"

Xu Wan was stunned.

It's really hard to say.

Seeing this, Zong Jincheng turned around and was about to go out, muttering, "I'm going to the He Shangshu Mansion to see my brother. What's going on? It's been three days and he hasn't replied to me yet..."

"I'll go with you." Xu Wan caught up from behind. The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, especially Mrs. He's performance in taking He Zheng away, which was indeed a bit unusual.

"Okay!"

The mother and son got on the carriage and drove towards the He Shangshu Mansion.

He's family.

When Mrs. He heard that Xu Wan and her son had arrived, she quickly received them in the front hall to talk, and in the courtyard, He Zheng also got the news.

He ran over excitedly, knocking on the door and shouting: "Jincheng! Aunt! They are here to pick me up! Open the door, let me out, let me out!"

He had been locked in the room for five days.

During these five days, he looked through various history books to see why those whose families were implicated, and combined with the recent news in Beijing and Jincheng's situation, he vaguely understood.

The person my father was afraid of was Luo Jingfeng.

Because the Pingxi general was going to return to the court, he couldn't play with Jincheng, who had offended Luo Jingfeng, or he would implicate his father and be hated by Luo Jingfeng.

But why, why was it so cruel to deprive even his best friend?

"Let me out, I want to see my father, I want to see my father!" He Zheng knocked on the door and shouted.

He didn't have much hope, but he didn't expect that Minister He really came.

The door opened, and Minister He appeared at the door with his back to the light, and the expression on his face could not be seen clearly.

"Father!" He Zheng shouted, and quickly used the debate skills he learned in the key class to start his defense, "I understand what you are worried about, but I think you are worrying too much. Not to mention that Jincheng is just a child, he was also bullied by Luo Jingfeng. Luo Jingfeng, a great general, doesn't need to bother with a child. He has been away for almost two years, and he must have forgotten Jincheng a long time ago..."

Minister He said: "Zong Zhao is back."

He held the letter written by Jincheng to He Zheng in his hand.

He Zheng took it, looked at Jincheng's handwriting on the letter, and said in shock: "It's Jincheng's father..."

He Shangshu's words came from above: "Originally, Zong Zhao was not here, and the old, weak, women and children of the Yuanyang Marquis' Mansion did not dare to do anything. Now, Zong Jincheng's father is back, and his son was almost strangled to death by Luo Jingfeng. Do you think he will let it go?"

He Shangshu knew how much He Zheng had changed in the past two years, so he didn't treat him as a child anymore, and explained everything to him.

He Zheng shook his head and argued: "No, it's not like that. The prince didn't dare to offend Luo Jingfeng, and Uncle Zong certainly wouldn't dare to do it either."

"Of course he dares, the prince was saved by him, Zong Zhao is both civil and martial, and grew up with the prince, so he must give the prince advice and overthrow the Luo family. This is something everyone can foresee." He Shangshu rarely spoke to him so calmly, "Don't wade into this muddy water, the consequences of this cannot be borne by our family."
