Second marriage to the regent

Li Junyi looked at Li Yi, with murderous intent in his eyes, and said angrily: "If you let me hear this again, I will tell you to shut up completely."

Li Yi was so frightened that he lowered his head: "I know my mistake. Your Majesty, please calm down."

There have been rumors in the court that Li Junyi had the idea of ​​​​killing the emperor and usurping the throne, so that the emperor was always wary of him, and might even take his life directly.

The rumors from the outside world are certainly scary, but if people around him think so, wouldn't the rumors that he wants to rebel be true?

"Go down." Li Junyi didn't want to see Li Yi now, and felt that he was becoming more and more unruly.

Li Yi knew that he had offended Li Junyi, so he went to collect the punishment after leaving the study.

When Su Junxi returned to the Hou Mansion, she took out the medicine bottle from her sleeve, and also took out the jade pendant. She frowned slightly, saying that she wanted to return the things to him, but why couldn't she think about it when she got to him? What happened?
She had no choice but to put the jade pendant away and wait for another opportunity.

"Miss, where have you been?" Yingshi entered the room and saw Su Junxi back, with a smile on her face.

Su Junxi turned around: "I just went to find something from a friend. Where is Yan'er?"

Yan'er and Yingshi were both busy taking care of the old lady and taking care of the Marquis's house for themselves. It would be time for them to take a break and relax for a while.

"Sister Yan'er is in the kitchen. You haven't eaten anything today. She will personally supervise and prepare delicious food for you." Yingshi was really worried about Su Junxi's health. With Ye's departure, what will happen in the house in the future? She has to take care of all matters, big and small.

When I came back, I didn't hear that Tang Zhili was back, so he asked, "Did the Marquis send someone to send a message?"

Yingshi shook her head: "No. The boy who accompanied Mr. Hou didn't come back to deliver a message. I'm afraid that Mr. Hou won't be back for a while. Miss, it's better not to wait and eat first."

Yingshi didn't want Su Junxi to stop eating because of Tang Zhili, fearing that her body would collapse.

Naturally, Su Junxi would not let Tang Zhili affect her mood like before, let alone harm her body.

When Yan'er brought the food, she started to eat.

Tang Zhili returned only in the evening after leaving. Su Junxi, who learned the news, ordered meals to be delivered to Tang Zhili's study.

Tang Zhili stayed in the study for several days. Su Junxi also visited him, but seeing that he was just busy with official duties, she stopped disturbing him.

"The Marquis has been using official duties to paralyze himself recently, what will happen if this continues! As his wife, you should persuade him!" The old lady was afraid that the pillar of the Marquis' mansion would collapse, so she said to Su Junxi.

Su Junxi was busy these days, physically and mentally exhausted. Why didn't she say anything?

"Grandma, don't worry. The Marquis is doing this to quickly find the murderer of my mother. I just want to ensure that the Marquis can eat on time. As a woman, if I run there every day, wouldn't it delay his investigation."

Su Junxi told the old lady her opinion. The old lady thought it was reasonable and stopped asking about the matter.

However, she was still worried about Jun'er and asked Su Junxi, "How is Jun'er now? Why did he never come back when his grandmother passed away?"

The old lady felt that this great-grandson was too ignorant. He didn't even come back to check on him when such a big thing happened at home. He was really a charlatan.

Su Junxi explained: "The Hou Mansion is not at peace. Jun'er has just lost his mother, and now he has lost his grandmother, and he feels bad. He also took him with him to the funeral, but we parted ways when he came back. Mr. Lu I took him back to the western suburbs."

When the old lady heard Su Junxi mentioning Mr. Lu, she sighed deeply and said, "I originally wanted to invite Mr. Lu to sit in the house, but who knew that such a big thing happened in the Hou Mansion again. You Let’s tell Mr. Lu that the Hou Mansion has broken its promise this time, and if there is a chance, he will be invited to visit again in the future.”

"Grandma, don't worry. Mr. Lu is considerate, and he can understand that there are many things going on in the Hou Mansion." If Mr. Lu, who is always in trouble in the Hou Mansion, comes, he will have to give them a good lesson.

"That's good." The old lady nodded, and then said: "Now that your mother is gone and your grandmother is old, it's time to hand over the reins of the Marquis Mansion to you." As soon as he finished speaking, a maid The son then handed over the seal representing the power of the head of the family to Su Junxi.

"From now on, all matters in the Hou Mansion, big and small, must be handled by you." The old lady looked at Su Junxi with relief.

Su Junxi looked at the seal in the maid's hand. This represented the highest power in the Hou Mansion. It was something that Ye had been seeking for most of her life. Why was the old lady willing to give this thing to herself?

She took the seal suspiciously and said, "Grandma, don't worry, my granddaughter-in-law will definitely take care of the Marquis's house and help the Marquis."

"Having you here is the blessing of the Marquis. Grandma will feel relieved to have you here." Now the person who loved Tang Zhili the most is no longer there, and her health is getting worse day by day. She can only place her hope on Su Junxi. On the body.

Although she knew she couldn't have a child, she loved Jun'er these days and had all the abilities of a good mother. With her to help, Tang Zhili could feel more relaxed.

But in Su Junxi's view, the power of being the head of the family is a joke. The Marquis Mansion is no longer what it used to be. Who can she care about?

Who cares about this old lady or Tang Zhili?

It's just that there is no one to deal with the affairs of the Hou Mansion. If not, how could the old lady be willing to hand over the power of running the house?
And this also brought trouble to Su Junxi. If an accident happened to the Hou Mansion while she was managing it, she would not be able to shirk the responsibility.

After leaving the front hall, Su Junxi returned to the Liyuan and sent away Yan'er and Yingshi, and began to think about the medicinal powder she brought back from Li Junyi.

In order to verify whether the fragrance was as magical as Li Junyi said, she planned to take a few sachets she had made recently, put the medicinal powder into a bowl of water, add a drop of blood, and then wrap the sachets in it and soak it. one night.

At noon the next day, she took out the sachet bag and smelled it. It was indeed a strange fragrance. The fragrance was really strong.

When Yan'er and Yingshi entered the room, they saw several sachets placed on Su Junxi's table. Yingshi asked curiously: "Miss, why do you make so many sachets?"

Su Junxi did not answer in a hurry, but asked: "Does it look good?"

The two nodded, and Su Junxi continued: "You two each pick the one you like. This is my gift to you both."

The two looked at each other, unable to believe that their young ladies would actually make sachets for them. They happily picked one and put it on their waists on the spot.

Yingshi shook her body happily, and the sachet swayed with the movement, and said happily: "Miss, does it look good when I wear it?"

"Good-looking." Su Junxi responded with a smile.

Yan'er looked at the remaining sachets and asked, "Take the remaining three and give them to Sister when you return to Duke An's Mansion tomorrow."

She handed the blue sachet to Yan'er.

Su Junxi: "Give the rest to Yu'er."

Yingshi looked at the half-finished product in confusion and asked, "What about this one? Isn't it made for Mr. Hou?"

When Tang Zhili was mentioned, their expressions instantly turned ugly.

Su Junxi smiled and shook her head: "I have to make one for myself!"

Only then did the two of them realize that they had not thought of Su Junxi's part at all, and they looked at each other and smiled awkwardly.
