Princess, the lord has come to beg for marriage again!

Chapter 973 My wife, I made a mistake for my husband.

Chapter 973 My wife, I made a mistake for my husband.

Dugu Xuejiao put on an expression that I care about you very much, and Mrs. Xun couldn't do anything about her, she just smiled contemptuously, but her face was not very good, as if she didn't want to talk about this topic, but she was helpless.

"We don't want to, but it's not impossible, things are all crowded together.

You also know that sister Qi was kidnapped by some thieves on the day she was released from prison. Even if she came back intact, the bottom line is that it is the girl's family, and her reputation is ruined.

Fortunately, the fourth son of the Shen family is a good man, he didn't dislike my sister Qi, and didn't cancel the engagement, but the more he did this, the more Qi sister felt sorry for him.

Sister Qi is also a kind and good girl, she doesn't want to implicate Fourth Young Master Shen, for fear that others will point fingers at her and make Fourth Young Master Shen suffer. She is really stupid, thinking of hanging herself.

If the servant girl hadn't discovered it early, my sister Qi... well, this is fate, she is my daughter, so I naturally want her to live well, so I proposed to advance the wedding date so that she can feel at ease earlier.

It just so happened that my sister-in-law didn't want our second wife to stay in the house any longer, so she hurriedly settled the marriage and we left quickly. I really don't care.

When Sister Qi married into Wen Guogong's mansion, my final thoughts were settled, and I had no more worries, and I could go anywhere, even if I lived a poor life. "

If he really wanted to hang himself, how could he be discovered by such a coincidence.

Dugu Xuejiao just listened quietly, and didn't expose it, after all, she hasn't met the right owner yet, but if she should ask, she should ask in advance.

"After the third cousin came back, is there anything... um, something different from before?"

Meteor followed her all the time, when he heard this, his eyes rolled and his ears pricked up.

Mrs. Xun didn't seem to expect that she would ask this question either, she gave her a surprised look, and then looked away without any trace.

"No, there is no change. What can be changed? At most, she was frightened and cried a little more every day. It's not because she is very kind..."

If it wasn't for the ghosts in his heart, why did he stutter when he was angry, and it seemed that he didn't mean what he said.

Dugu Xuejiao saw her uneasiness in her eyes, and her eyes flickered.

Madam Xun seemed to be afraid that she would continue to question her, so she walked faster and faster, never giving her a chance to speak.

As soon as a group of people entered Mrs. Xun's yard, a woman in a pink dress greeted her.

"Mother, you are back, what did you tell Daddy..."

The following words came to an abrupt end when she saw Dugu Xuejiao.

When Meteor saw the girl in the pink skirt in front of her, her eyeballs almost popped out, her face full of disbelief.

It's really Miss Zhan!She really came alive!

Dugu Xuejiao was much calmer than her, as if nothing had happened, she smiled calmly at Zhan Siqi.

"Third Cousin, I heard that you are getting married, I'm here to give you a wedding gift."

Madam Xun saw that her daughter was suddenly stunned and silent, and couldn't help coughing lightly.

"Sister Qi, why don't you hurry up and thank Miss Dugu."

Zhan Siqi came back to her senses, hurriedly blessed her body, and said hello, showing no flaws on her face.

But Dugu Xuejiao had already caught the flash of panic and fear in her eyes, but she didn't expose it face to face, and she cooperated very well.

Superficial effort, hypocrisy and submissiveness, who can't do it.

Dugu Xuejiao accompanied the mother and daughter into the room, and began to talk about unnecessary topics.

First of all, he was concerned about Zhan Siqi's health, and then praised her for her courage, she rescued Shen Huaixi from the prison all by herself.

Zhan Siqi is also a master at saving face, she either lowers her head and pretends to be weak, or sheds tears and pretends to be pitiful, or bites her lips and keeps silent to pretend to be wronged, she can be said to be a master of the game, she does not leak anything.

Dugu Xuejiao greeted her politely, and saw that she didn't show any flaws in her words, but she noticed the occasional small movements.

Since the soft ones are not enough, we can only come to the hard ones.

"Third Cousin, you were released by Dali Temple that day. On the way back to the house, you heard that you were taken away by robbers, and then you ran back by yourself. You must have been terrified, right?
But I'm curious, those robbers probably know martial arts, how did you, a weak woman with no strength to restrain a chicken, escape from birth?

I'm not trying to bring back bad memories for you, I'm just really..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by a loud shout.

"Okay! Stop talking!"

Mrs. Xun looked at her panic-stricken daughter, with tears still hanging on her eyelashes, weak and pitiful, how could she bear to let others expose her scars again.

She hugged Zhan Siqi into her arms, and looked at Dugu Xuejiao unkindly, with faint dissatisfaction.

"Miss Dugu, I know that you have a pretty good relationship with Sister Qi, and you used to take care of her a lot, and you are the cousin of the fourth son of Shen, but it's a bit too much to expose people's scars, right?
When you asked this question, did you ever think about sister Qi's feelings?How would you feel if you were kidnapped and someone asked you what happened?

Because of that incident, Sister Qi's face lost weight several times, and she washed her face with tears all day long, and now she finally cheered up a little bit, but you mentioned it to her face, what is your intention?

Even if you came to visit Sister Qi today and brought her a wedding gift, if you hurt her like this again, I can only ask you out.

My sister Qi is so kind and weak, she can't stand any more torture, and now she just wants to get married, and I will never allow anyone to disturb her mood. "

Mrs. Xun is Zhan Siqi's mother, so it is reasonable to stand up and protect her like this.

But isn't what she said too serious?And her action of protecting the cub was too eager, right?It's almost like an overreaction.

It was obviously a rebuke, but she didn't dare to look at Dugu Xuejiao, but avoided her eyes. Both the mother and daughter seemed to have problems.

Dugu Xuejiao accepted it as soon as she saw it. Anyway, the purpose of probing was achieved, so she quickly apologized.

Seeing that the two of them gradually relaxed their vigilance, a flash of light flashed in their eyes, and they asked another question.

"How did the third cousin persuade Dali Temple to rescue cousin Huaixi?"

This question is much better than before, and the expressions of the mother and daughter are also relaxed.

Zhan Siqi pinched the handkerchief, wiped the corners of her eyes lightly, still lowered her head, and never looked at Dugu Xuejiao very much from the beginning to the end.

"I, I didn't actually do anything, just go for a personal certificate."

witness?

Dugu Xuejiao picked up the teacup on the table, and glanced at her while drinking tea.

"Third Cousin means that when Leng Qian died, Cousin Huaixi wasn't there? Is that right?"

If there is an alibi, that person must not have been killed by Shen Huaixi.

Zhan Siqi lowered her head, rubbing the handkerchief with her fingertips, and nodded.

"Yes, I, I happened to meet brother Huaixi in the backyard that day. He drank too much and went to the backyard to change clothes. He was not in the gazebo at that time."

Dugu Xuejiao took a sip of tea thoughtfully, but did not continue to ask.

Seeing that Mrs. Xun couldn't sit still anymore, and she looked at her with orders to chase away guests, she stood up very knowingly.

"Ah, I've been sitting for such a long time. Now that my third cousin is fine, I'm relieved."

Mrs. Xun breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she stood up and was about to leave, and then stood up.

"Miss Dugu, go slowly."

Dugu Xuejiao gave her a shallow smile, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.

Just when she was about to step out of the threshold, she suddenly turned around, walked up to Mrs. Xun, and whispered something in her ear.

Madam Xun's originally relaxed face immediately tensed up, her pupils constricted, and she looked overly frightened.

After Dugu Xuejiao finished speaking, she turned around and left, as if she didn't see Madam Xun's pale face at all.

After leaving the courtyard, Meteor came over and lowered his voice.

"Miss, what did you say in Mrs. Xun's ear just now? Why is her face so ugly? It's like seeing a ghost."

Dugu Xuejiao raised her hand and knocked a chestnut on her forehead, and walked briskly forward.

"Silly girl, there are no ghosts in this world, only people's hearts have ghosts."

Meteor covered his forehead, wrinkled his face, and followed behind her hesitantly.

What the young lady said recently always makes Monk Zhang Er puzzled and very sad.

Liangjing City, Duke Wen's Mansion.

The marriage between Shen Huaixi and Zhan Siqi was fully three months ahead of schedule. Even though the time was urgent, Duke Wen's Mansion still prepared a very grand wedding banquet.

After all, it's about the face of the Duke's Mansion, especially because of the Duke's Mansion recently, Mrs. Cheng feels that she has face wherever she goes.

Originally, she was so angry in Liangjing for so many years that she was so aggrieved that she was about to fall ill, but now relying on her only daughter to make a comeback against the wind, it can be said that the scenery is infinite.

Even if Wen Guogong doesn't want to waste money very much, he can't stand the old lady Cheng's pillow wind.

Mrs. Cheng has always felt that she was wronged by being a stepmother, especially the elders, who looked down on her at all, and have been neglected all these years.

But it's different now, she has a strong son-in-law, and now with this shareholder style, she can go straight to Qingyun.

In Duke Wen's mansion, she was the veritable mistress of the house, and she no longer had to look at Da Fang's face.

Nowadays, if a grandson wants to marry, the bigger the pomp, the better, even surpassing the pomp of the big family's eldest grandson Shen Huaixin when they got married.

Only in this way can we take the opportunity to prove to the whole Liangjing city that the second house of Duke Wen's mansion is tough and not worse than the big house.

After all, Mrs. Cheng is a face-saving old lady. She has been competitive since she was young, and she still doesn't change when she is old. She can be regarded as an old lady who has never forgotten her original intention.

Although Mrs. Shen despised Old Mrs. Cheng's actions, she knew better than anyone else the virtues of her own mother, and she definitely couldn't persuade her, so she just turned a blind eye.

But Duguduo is an honest person, thinking back when he had the cheek to marry Mrs. Shen, even though Mrs. Cheng objected in every possible way, she finally let go and did not completely beat the mandarin ducks.

Thinking of such a little kindness, he had someone prepare two large carts of congratulatory gifts early in the morning, and on the day of his marriage, he personally brought Mrs. Shen to the door, which was regarded as giving his mother-in-law enough face.

Old lady Cheng couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, her back was straighter than usual, and now the more she looked at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she became.

Madam Shen looked at Duguduo's fawning face, and gave him a hard gouging look.

But Duguduo just secretly took her hand, smirked at her cheekily, and whispered something in her ear.

"Miss, you made a mistake for your husband, you can punish me any way you want at night."

I did all this for you, my wife.

After all, Mrs. Shen was not as thick-skinned as he was, she stretched out her hand to push him away, but her ears turned red.

The two people on this side exchanged glances secretly, while Mrs. Cheng on the other side was very comfortable being praised by everyone, her old face was almost smiling like a little daisy, and she took the initiative to say a few words of concern.

"Why hasn't Jiaojiao come?"

Mrs. Cheng is a smart old lady. Knowing that her daughter and son-in-law love her granddaughter the most, they naturally want to do what they like.

When Mrs. Shen heard this, her complexion improved a lot.

"Jiaojiao got up early in the morning, but she said that she would go to Shangshu Mansion first, and she would come with the bride and groom later."

As long as the daughter is mentioned, the couple will have the same doting eyes.

Old Madam Cheng heard that, although she was a little unhappy, she didn't dare to show it, she just nodded her head lightly.

Dugu Xuejiao was extraordinarily busy today, and she got up before dawn. If she didn't know, she thought she was the bride.

Li Gen and Meteor also got up early, and the three master and servant walked out of the gate in the dim light of dawn. There was already a dark carriage waiting at the gate, and the driver was the same as last time.

At this time, the sky was slightly bright, and there was no one outside. The carriage was speeding like lightning, and it stopped at the gate of Dali Temple not long after.

As soon as Dugu Xuejiao jumped off the carriage, she looked up and saw Shen Huaicheng waiting at the gate.

She walked over with a smile, said hello, and walked in together.

The two walked through the dark corridor of the cell to the one at the end, and stayed there for a while.

When Dugu Xuejiao came out, there was an extra person behind her, who was covered tightly by a wide black robe.

A group of three walked out of Dali Temple, Dugu Xuejiao asked Li Gen to help the people behind him into the carriage.

Shen Huaicheng stood beside her, with a seldom worried expression on his usually expressionless face.

"That person is more cunning, you should be more careful."

Dugu Xuejiao cupped her hands towards him, with a sincere smile on her lips.

"Thanks to Cousin Huaicheng during this time, thank you for choosing to trust me, wait for my news, and I will definitely bring you the real culprit to Dali Temple within today."

After the words fell, he turned and got into the carriage.

Shen Huaicheng turned and entered the gate of Dali Temple until the shadow of the carriage could no longer be seen.

The carriage reached an alley on Long Street, swayed in slowly, and finally stopped in a remote alley.

The coachman asked respectfully outside, then opened the curtain and walked in.

After about half an hour, the coachman came out again and drove the carriage out of the alley.

At this time, the loud sound of gongs and drums could already be heard on the long street.

When they reached the gate of the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of War, Dugu Xuejiao got off the carriage, followed by Li Gen and Liu Xing.

The coachman watched the three of them enter the gate, and then drove the carriage back the same way.

As soon as we reached the end of the long street, turned a corner, and drove in, a tall man in black landed in front of the car.

"How's it going?"

The coachman stretched his waist and smiled wickedly.

"Heh, are you doubting my skills?"

The man in black rolled his eyes at him, didn't bother to pay attention to him, and walked forward quickly.

He opened the curtain with one hand, facing the people inside, smiling like a chrysanthemum flower with morning dew.
