Marriage Princess: The Alluring Concubine of the Evil Emperor

Chapter 158 Borrowing Money
Wang said: "Master Hou? After Qinghe died, even grandfather didn't call out?"

Yuan Su was stunned for a moment, it seemed that after Qinghe's death, he really put aside his relationship with Qinghe from the bottom of his heart, and this voice of Lord Hou exposed his thoughts even more, because he never put Qinghe's family members are his own relatives.

"This...a slip of the tongue." He continued to rub his hands, but he didn't know what to say. This Wang family has always been aggressive, and even if he spoke to her in the wrong tone, he would have to pick out a hundred thorns.

Sure enough, Mrs. Wang sneered, "It's not a slip of the tongue. In your heart, you have always called him that old man, but it is true. Qinghe is dead. The husband and wife are birds in the same forest. When disaster strikes, they fly separately. You have already married someone else, so, as Qinghe's natal family, I can't ask you anything harshly, let's call you Lord Hou, everyone will feel at ease."

Yuan Su was unavoidably unhappy at being robbed by her, but he didn't like to lose his temper. After all, this Ningguo Marquis Mansion was already the last hope.

Therefore, he held back his breath and said: "Auntie, don't misunderstand, Yuan Su is not a cold person."

"If you're not a cool person, how could you marry a wife right after Qinghe died in my house?" Wang's was obviously very resentful.

"This... This is all explained by Qinghe before his death." Yuan Su has explained this to others for countless times. After explaining it for a long time, he, like Li Xiangyu, felt that it was true, so he felt guilty when he said it at the beginning , but now it is so confident to say it.

Mrs. Wang didn't like him, and said coolly: "I'm afraid that my son-in-law is the only one in history if you can talk about thinness so affectionately? Come on, I can't control this matter. I can control the world and I can control me." Is the uncle married? It doesn't matter, if you come to visit the old man, you can go to pay your respects by yourself, and it's not the first time you come here, so I won't greet you. "

After finishing speaking, he stood up and led the servant girl out, leaving Yuan Su alone in the main hall, not even a serving girl.

With such a cold reception, the treatment that Qinghe received when he returned to Ningguo Marquis Mansion together was heaven and earth. He wished he could leave immediately, but thinking that the two princesses would come to collect debts tomorrow, he had no choice but to continue to wait, hoping Seeing Hu come back.

After waiting for nearly an hour, he didn't see Mrs. Hu come back, but the girl came in to refill his tea a few times. Such cold treatment did not hurt his self-esteem, because during this period of time, he traveled to many friends. Everyone in the mansion was treated so coldly, it was not bad that there was still someone in the Marquis of Ningguo mansion to refill his tea.

However, after sitting for so long, he couldn't sit any longer. When the girl came in to refill the tea again, he gave the girl a penny and asked the girl to inform him when Mrs. Hu came back.

Leaving Ningguo Marquis Mansion, he walked down the East Street dejectedly, only feeling that the world is cold and warm. He never thought that one day he would end up in such a miserable state.

The sky gradually sank, but he didn't even borrow a tael of silver. He wanted to go back to the mansion, but he was very reluctant to face Li Xiangyu's bad face after returning to the mansion, so he found a restaurant and sat down. I ordered two dishes, ordered a jug of wine, and poured myself a drink.

There was a lot of people in the restaurant, and when he heard someone saying the name of Princess Qinghe, he couldn't help turning his head to look. Behind him, there were a few big men sitting behind him, all of them flushed, and they seemed to be a little drunk.

They spoke in a low voice at first, but as the alcohol gradually became stronger, their voices became louder, "I said you are all too naive, if Princess Qinghe has a hidden illness, why didn't you invite the imperial doctor to come in for treatment?"

"Perhaps an imperial doctor went to see it, but we don't know."

"No, the imperial doctor never came to the door. Let me tell you something top-secret. My cousin works in the general's mansion. He said that when Princess Qinghe was ill, he saw Yuan Su and Li Xiangyu hugging each other with his own eyes. People have long been struggling, and ah, when Princess Qinghe was ill, the person who served her was Li Xiangyu. He saw Li Xiangyu add something to the princess's medicine with his own eyes, but he didn't know what was added, but think about it, It must be poison."

"Shhh, don't talk nonsense without evidence." A weak man hurriedly stopped him.

The man snorted and kept raising his voice, "I'm afraid of shit, Yuan Su will arrest me if he has the guts. What I said is not a lie, it's all the truth. I also heard that he won the battle before. The things bestowed by the emperor, he was not willing to distribute to the families of the sacrificed soldiers, but Princess Qinghe strongly asked him to give them. Think about it, after winning the battle, his name will be established, but those soldiers who sacrificed their lives on the battlefield What a narrow-minded person who doesn't give up anything, even a little reward? I really don't know how the princess would marry such a person."

Yuan Su was so angry that his lungs would explode when he heard these words, but he didn't dare to refute, because what they said were all facts.

After the anger passed, he began to be a little frightened. He had never thought about this issue before, that is, the servants of the mansion. During the days when Qinghe was poisoned, he and Li Xiangyu really had no scruples, and it was inevitable that they would be sent down. people see.

He originally thought that no one would dare to spread the word, but he never thought that the rumors had already been raging in the public. If Ningguo Houfu and Ningjun Wangfu heard these words, would they investigate Qinghe's death?
He seemed very disturbed, and he didn't care about eating, so he hurried back to the house to find Li Xiangyu.

He told Li Xiangyu: "I'm thinking about building a grave for her. Once someone finds out about her, they will definitely go to the cemetery to investigate. It will be bad to find that she was not buried in the ancestral grave."

Li Xiangyu was not happy, "Why bother? She has been dead for so many months, and if someone becomes suspicious, she will have to investigate it. Let's wait a few years for this matter to be discussed. Moreover, it will take a lot of money to build a tomb according to the specifications of the princess. It’s better not to deal with less money than to deal with it indiscriminately.”

Yuan Su was cash-strapped, and knew that it would be impractical to build now, but since she agreed, it would be easy to handle. After tomorrow's business is over, he will find a way to save some money and build a grave for her.

With this idea, Yuan Su felt a lot calmer, and felt that he did not treat Qinghe badly.

Besides, when Mrs. Hu came back from outside the mansion, the girl went forward and told Mrs. Hu that Yuan Su was looking for her.

Hu said: "Go and inform him, and tell him that I'm back, and ask him what's the matter."

"Okay, servant girl will go now." The girl ran out after saying that.

After Mrs. Hu returned to her room, Mrs. Wang came over, "Today Yuan Su came and said he wanted to find you."

"I know," Hu said as he took off the hairpin from his head, "I have asked the girl to tell him to come over to the house. I don't know what's the matter."

Sitting down, Mrs. Wang grabbed the melon seeds placed on the plate on the table and knocked them up, "What else can I do? Of course I want to borrow money from you."

"Borrowing money? Is the general's mansion short of money?" Mrs. Hu looked back at Mrs. Wang in surprise.

Mrs. Wang kowtowed the melon seeds lightly and said, "You, you don't know anything. A month ago, Princess Changchun and Princess Yili went to the General's Mansion and said that Qinghe had a will before he was alive, and that all the things that belonged to her should be taken away. Take it back and keep it with Princess Changchun, and return it to Xuan'er when Xuan'er grows up. Li Xiangyu took part of Qinghe's deposit, probably more than 1 taels of silver, and the two princesses asked them to fill in the hole. Come on, no, it's due tomorrow, so I'm asking you to borrow some money."
