The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 104 Go Home (2)
Zhao Jing fell on the bed and fell asleep for a while. When she opened her eyes again, the sun had already reached the west.At this time, Zhao Jing's sanity had fully recovered. She was still a little bit scared when she remembered what happened last night, but after being scared, she forced herself to calm down again. In any case, what happened yesterday has passed, and she didn't stay awake all night yesterday. Gui, brother and sister-in-law must be very worried, she has to get up to freshen up and go home early.

There was a clean shirt on the bedside table. Zhao Jing untied the clothes on her body with trembling fingers. She checked her body carefully. Apart from her lack of strength, there was no sign of being offended.

There was no mirror or comb in the room, so Zhao Jing sat on the edge of the bed and combed her long hair with her hands.The outside door creaked open, and she saw the woman who had just fed her come in with a basin of water.

"Miss, wash up. This is the room of our Lord Marquis, and there is no mirror. Sitting here, the old servant will comb your hair."

Zhao Jing felt a little shy after hearing this, she stood up, and walked to the washstand with a little weak footsteps, when she lowered her head, she saw her pale face and chapped lips. look.

Aunt Shou helped her to sit down, and she sat down, thinking about what happened in the past two days.If the regent really forced herself to be a concubine, how could she resist, she has already left the palace now, is she going to be forced to death for these things?
Zhao Jing couldn't stop crying when she thought of this, she herself is not afraid of anything, she only has one life anyway, but what about brother and sister-in-law, she offended such a person, will brother-in-law and sister-in-law have a good life in the future?

Aunt Shou looked at her distressedly. She met Zhao Jing in the Hou Mansion more than a month ago. At that time, Zhao Jing was smart and capable, with a virtuous and capable personality in her bones. How could she look like this now? The good girl was tortured like this.

"Girl, there is no difficulty in this world. Girl, isn't it all right? Go home and rest, and forget about it. The Marquis has already explained it. I won't go out and gossip, old lady." Don't worry, girl."

Zhao Jing cried for a while, sniffed, and wiped away her tears.She has experienced the storms in the palace for more than ten years, and she cannot be defeated by such a "small matter".After Aunt Shou combed her hair, she stood up and took a look at the water in the basin. She looked a little haggard, but when she went back and explained, her brother and sister-in-law should not be too suspicious.

"Don't worry, ma'am, I won't fail to figure it out. This breath is still on me, and life will always go on."

"I'm relieved when you say that." Aunt Shou smiled and looked Zhao Jing up and down. Such a good girl, those who have evil intentions will really be struck by lightning!
"Would you like to eat something to make a cushion, girl? Our old man's car is just outside. It's the same for girl to eat something to go."

Zhao Jing couldn't eat anything now, she just felt a little thirsty, so she asked Aunt Shou for a cup of hot tea, she held it in her palm to warm it, and drank it down sip by sip.

There is still a long way to go before her. She has to think about how to explain to her brother and sister-in-law, and how to make the people in the Prince Regent's Mansion give up.Zhao Jingqiang closed his eyes and rested in the carriage with all his energy.Although the palace is dangerous, as long as the little emperor and the queen mother are dealt with well, she will be able to get along like a duck in water, but the danger outside the palace is beyond my imagination and inestimable.

Zhao Jing felt that maybe she had thought about life outside the palace too simply from the very beginning. She soaked in the big dye vat in the palace, how could she say that she could get away with it?

"Girl, we're here on Gulou Street." The carriage stopped, and the driver outside kindly reminded her.

Zhao Jing moved her stiff body leaning against the carriage, and leaned out.A gust of cold wind blew in from outside, making Zhao Jing's whole body cold. She flinched a bit, and saw Yuan Shi looking around at the entrance of the alley.

Zhao Jing's heart suddenly warmed up, and she shouted to Yuan Shi holding back her tears: "Sister-in-law, I'm back."

Yuan Shi heard the sound, turned her head and took a look, rushed over, took Zhao Jing's hand and said: "Where have you been, and you won't say anything until you go home, but your brother is very anxious!"

"Where's my brother?" Zhao Jing was also worried. She told Yuan Shi to go to the Prince Regent's Mansion by herself yesterday. If Zhao Yong really went to look for him, something would happen.

"He went to the Prince Regent's Mansion yesterday, but it was a pity that people were not allowed to enter. He came back at five o'clock. He wanted to wait until dawn to report to the officials. Later, someone came over and gave a message, saying that the princess stayed here yesterday. You have stayed in the palace, and you will only come back today. Your brother was relieved after hearing this. He didn't sleep all night yesterday, so I let him sleep at home. I'll wait for you at the alley. "

Hearing that Zhao Yong was fine, Zhao Jing breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't know who was so careful and even helped her deliver the news to her family.
