Chapter 75
Sure enough, there was an unexpected situation, and the Hou Mansion, which was originally happy and festive, suddenly cried bitterly and filled with resentment.

Looking at the eldest son of the Hou family and the third son kneeling in front of him, with his aunt Feng weeping beside him, the third prince was quite depressed.What's the matter, he received the order to come to support the Hou's mansion, to increase popularity, and never thought of being nosy.

What's more, he didn't expect that the Song Ji Restaurant, whose family style has always been rigorous, would dare to do such appalling and absurd things as exchanging slaves for heirs!
A servant came to report that Dingyuanhou vomited blood as soon as he returned to the inner courtyard, and Mrs. Jiang was serving.

"Quick pass on to the medical officer in the palace!" The third prince gasped, comforting Feng's mother and son, "Aunt, Zhonghe, Changjia, please hurry up, I'll go back and report to my father, let me let you go!" The Song Mansion will give you justice!"

As soon as he was an idle prince, he didn't dare to promise the Hou Fu easily.Song Xueji is highly valued by his father, how can he know if this is a play between him and his father to deal with Marquis Dingyuan?

Even if there were officials from Tingwei Division present, he dared not dispatch them.You have to go back to the palace to report to your father, and let him make a decision.After calming down the people in the Marquis Mansion, the third prince hurried away with his family, and the rest of the officials were just rogues.

Come one after another, and go with it.

Only then did Feng raise her eyes, and looked around blankly, seeing a mess and the crowd dispersed.The fact that I have always believed in seems to collapse at this moment, tremblingly said:
"Zhonghe, do you think His Majesty is willing to make decisions for your third brother?"

"Yes," Hou Shizi's eyes were flushed, and he comforted A Niang in a warm voice, "A Niang, you are tired. Third brother, you don't have to think about anything, first let A Niang go back to rest, and I will go see my father."

"Second brother, go quickly, I will accompany A Niang." Sanlang nodded.

His attitude was calm, as if he was not the one who was escaped from marriage and humiliated.

"No, I'll go too." Feng struggled to stand up.

Before she was so angry that she couldn't listen to anything else, but now that she calmed down, she realized that Master Hou was vomiting blood!She was so frightened that her face turned pale, and hurried back to the inner courtyard with the support of her two sons.

Not long after, the bustling Hou's people went to the empty building, and the servants had no time to clean up the mess.

Ji Wu was called in, and the staff members of the outer court came angrily when they heard the news.There are so many female relatives in the inner courtyard, it is inconvenient to go there, so they can only gather in the lobby of the front courtyard and wait for news.

The concubines and children of each courtyard had already stood outside, waiting anxiously, but Huatong courtyard was silent.Before Master Hou passed out, he told Jiang Shi not to disturb his little daughter unless he died, and asked his own soldiers to surround the mansion.

Everyone didn't know why, and they didn't dare to ask more questions.

About half an hour later, Sun Decheng, the internal official of the palace, led the medical officers to rush there.

……

At the beginning of the next day, Huatong courtyard was as cold as ever.Yuan Zhaoyi woke up at that time, washed up briefly, put on his military uniform and went to practice in the courtyard.Halfway through the practice, Luo Yan and the Shi brothers jumped into the arena with four other young guards to accompany them.

Junior guards play the first round and adult guards play the second round.The wheel battle, let the princess practice until exhausted.

Just as Yuan Zhao was about to raise his sword, he accidentally discovered that one of the young guards was missing:
"Huh? Where's Wuxi?"

"Ms. Lan summoned her away." Luo Yan replied, afraid that she would ask, "Princess, look at the sword!"

Oh?Si Niang?Yuan Zhao was slightly surprised, and before she had time to ask further questions, the swords of the guards had pierced her eyes, and she resolutely resisted.Si Niang is Wuxi's prospective mother-in-law, maybe affected by the big wedding last night, she cultivated the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in advance, right?

While fighting, Yuan Zhao made random guesses.

An hour later, after practicing the kung fu, let the servant girl wait for her to take a bath and wash, and change into a deep white brocade dress with dark flowers, which was made for her by the mansion.Comb two high upturned buns, only tie the hairband, face the sky with no face, and greet you with excitement.

Her daily routine was unshakable, and as she walked, she suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.She looked at the two sides behind her, Lian Shang and Zhi Lan stood on her left and right, and behind her were two little maidservants, Yin Xing, Yin Zhu and Bi Huan guarding the courtyard.

The formation was the same as usual, the only abnormality was that after they left Huatong Courtyard, their words and deeds were not as lively and relaxed as before.

"What's wrong with you?" Yuan Zhao looked at Lian Shang and asked, "It was fine just now."

Asked suddenly, the maidservants behind them stiffened in an instant, froze in place and did not dare to move.Lian Shang, who often went to various courtyards to inquire about news, was even more nervous, pulling the corners of her mouth, hey, hey, and replied:
"It's okay, Princess, let's go! It's getting late, Madam should be in a hurry."

Yuan Zhao: "..."

It's not difficult to glance at them, anyway, no matter what they say or not, she will go to the front yard.After thinking about it, he was about to leave when he stopped suddenly and cast a glance at Zhilan:
"Go and call Luo Yan."

"promise."

Zhilan hurriedly withdrew from the ranks, turned around and ran towards Huatong Courtyard.Yuan Zhao took a deep breath, turned around resolutely and quickened his pace.After walking all the way, she found that all the festive lantern ribbons in the mansion had been taken down.

When the servants along the way saw her, although they saluted, they looked flustered and felt heavy.

She no longer walked briskly, but trotted all the way to the front yard.Seeing this, Lian Shang hurriedly followed while shouting:

"Princess, Madam is not in the main hall, but in the north courtyard."

North courtyard?That's Father's Yard!

Yuan Zhao's expression changed, he turned around and ran away, leaving the maidservants behind in a blink of an eye.After rushing into the cave door of the north courtyard, she faintly heard a faint sobbing sound from inside, and she suddenly felt her limbs go weak and her speed slowed down.

Walking along the stone path to the courtyard, she soon saw her elder brother and sisters guarding outside her father's bedroom door.The third brother, who was supposed to come out happily this morning to serve tea to his parents, was beating his own head with a mournful face.

"Second brother, third brother, sister... what's wrong?" Yuan Zhao approached slowly, and asked in a whisper, "What's wrong, Dad?"

"The county lord."

Wu Xi, who hadn't slept all night, saw her coming, and came over first to say hello.Except for the second elder brother and his wife, the other brothers and sisters endured their grief and saluted one by one.

"What's the matter?" Unknown answer, Yuan Zhao's eyes were already red, "Father, he..."

"Don't panic, father is fine. It's just that he is ill and needs to recuperate for a while." As for other matters, Hou Shizi's eyes were red, and he motioned to Wuxi, "You come and explain to the princess."

Yuan Zhao heard the words and looked expectantly at Wuxi.

So, Wuxi recounted what happened last night——

The thing is like this, in Wu Chu, when men and women discuss marriage, the young people on both sides don't meet each other, at most they secretly peep.

As we all know, the three sons of Dingyuan Hou's Mansion have been away for a long time and rarely stay in Beijing. The marriage is negotiated by the two wives in the mansion and the woman's parents.

When the daughter of the Song family learned that her aunt betrothed her to the Hou's mansion whose family would be ransacked and wiped out at any time, she was terrified.With a strong desire to survive, she gritted her teeth, and boldly came up with a detrimental method, asking her personal maid to marry her instead.

The ladies had seen her, but the groom had not.

After entering the bridal chamber and coming out to offer tea tomorrow morning and being recognized by the two ladies, it will be too late.The Song Mansion is deeply favored, but the Dingyuanhou Mansion is well-known but lacking in strength. As a remnant of the previous dynasty, how dare you do anything to the Song Mansion?

As long as the royal family came forward to protect the Song family, the Dingyuanhou's mansion could only swallow this dumb loss.

Unexpectedly, man's calculation is not as good as heaven's calculation, and the third son of the Hou family also secretly met the daughter of the Song family before their marriage.Fearing that it would not suit her son, Feng took him to meet secretly.

When he saw the bride's true face in the bridal chamber, he immediately left the bedroom to let his mother handle it.
