Second marriage to the regent

Chapter 17 The Night Visit
Su Junxi, who had been busy for a while, then remembered the envelope. She fumbled around with her for a long time before remembering that she had forgotten it at Anguo Gong's Mansion.

"Miss, what is missing?" Yan'er looked over her head curiously when she saw Su Junxi searching her body for a long time.

Su Junxi looked slightly panicked, and said helplessly: "Maybe I forgot about this when I entered the palace. Go to Duke Anguo's mansion quickly and get the envelope from my room."

"Envelope?" Yan'er thought for a moment before remembering it, and hurriedly retreated: "I'll go right now, slave."

When he exited, he met Ying Shi. Ying Shi placed a gift box in front of Su Junxi with an invitation on it.

Su Junxi looked at the things from unknown sources and blamed them: "How dare you accept things from strangers."

"It's not a stranger!" Yingshi shook his head and explained, "This was sent by Mr. Shen, who gave you the prize last time."

"Mr. Shen?" They have not seen each other since the last time they were separated, and there is no other interaction between the two of them. How could they think of giving her something?

She opened the invitation and saw that Mr. Shen's teahouse was about to open and invited her to come and taste it.

She then opened the gift box, which contained some strange medicinal materials. She didn't know any medical skills, so she asked Ying Shi to put them away.

"Put your things away first, don't let others see it."

"Yes, ma'am."

After Yingshi placed the things properly, the old lady sent someone to call her.

The old lady knelt in front of the ancestral hall, twirling Buddhist beads in her hands, eyes closed, and muttering something in her mouth.

Hearing the footsteps of someone coming behind him, his eyes opened slightly.

"The mistress is back?" the old lady asked knowingly.

Yingshi didn't hide it, lowered her head: "Yes, old lady."

Old lady: "I heard that she just returned from the palace, but the Queen Mother has been in poor health recently?"

The old lady has long known that Mr. Ye went to Anguo Duke's mansion to cause trouble, but now she doesn't care about it anymore.

I thought I would have a queen and spend the rest of my life peacefully in the house, but who would have thought that Jun'er, who was not a fuel-efficient man at such a young age, would dare to go to An Guo Gong's house to cause trouble.

Ye and Tang Zhili also didn't know how to behave. They just bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes when their children made trouble, but they insisted on hitting the muzzle of the gun.

Now that Su Junxi has returned to the Hou Mansion after returning from the palace, it shows that there will not be much punishment for this matter.

"The Queen Mother has been a little sleepy these days. After talking to her mistress to relieve her fatigue, the Queen Mother asked her to come back. Seeing that her mistress had lost weight, the Queen Mother also told her to have a good health."

The old lady nodded: "It's time to have a good rest. Order someone to prepare some nourishing meals and send them to the old lady's body."

The old lady ordered to the maid behind her.

Then he said to Yingshi: "Go back and tell your mistress that you will come and have dinner with me later."

"Yes, the slaves retire."

After returning home, Ying Shi told Su Junxi truthfully.

Su Junxi had just read the envelope brought back by Yan'er and then burned it.

"It's a rare invitation from the old lady. As a granddaughter-in-law, how can I neglect it. Prepare hot water, wash up and go see the old lady." After saying that, he got up and moved to the soup room.

As the sun set over the western mountains, the bright red sunset reflected on the horizon like blood. Tang Zhili, who had been dismissed from office for a month, took Ye and Jun'er back to the Hou Mansion.

He no longer had the arrogance and domineering look of the past, and his face was pale and weak. When he saw Yan'er's figure coming around the corner of the corridor, he hurriedly followed her.

"Grandma, are daddy going to find that bad woman?" Jun'er still had tears on his face and gently pulled Ye's shoulder and asked.

When Mrs. Ye heard "bad woman", she immediately glared at him fiercely: "Have you forgotten what the emperor said? If you are disrespectful to your mistress again, grandma will not be able to save you!" She looked like she had always been gentle to herself. Shui's Ye's attitude changed so drastically that Jun'er was so scared that he shrank his neck and looked at her timidly.

Seeing Jun'er's frightened appearance, Mrs. Ye couldn't bear to hold her in her arms.

In the corridor, Yan'er noticed that someone was following him behind her, and she heard that it was an adult man. This back house was where the mistress lived. Who else would come to the house besides Tang Zhili?

"Madam, the Marquis is here." As soon as she arrived at the door of the room, Yan'er reminded her before knocking on the door.

Tang Zhili was a little surprised. Yan'er didn't look back all the way. How did she know she was behind her?

Seeing the door being pulled open, Tang Zhili wanted to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Su Junxi's words.

"The Marquis has not set foot in this courtyard for some time. Do you have something to do today?" Su Junxi stood at the door and did not come out to greet Tang Zhili or invite Tang Zhili in.

Tang Zhili looked embarrassed and made an excuse: "I just came back from the palace and haven't eaten yet, so I wanted to have a meal at your place."

With that said, he raised his feet and was about to walk over.

Su Junxi saw this and said quickly: "The old lady invited me to have dinner at her place tonight, so I didn't prepare to eat here."

After hearing this, Tang Zhili quickly took back his steps, thinking that Su Junxi did it on purpose, so he said, "In that case, I won't disturb your rest."

When he turned to leave, he turned back and said, "I'll see you tomorrow."

After saying that, he smiled slightly.

Su Junxi felt nauseated after seeing it.

The letter said that Tang Zhili settled the Bai family in Xiangyue Tower, and she had to find time to find out whether it was true or not.

After Tang Zhili left, Ying Shi, who was blushing behind him, finally said, "The sun is rising in the west, and the Marquis actually came here, and he said he was coming tomorrow?!"

Then he said to Su Junxi: "Miss, why don't you go back to Duke Anguo's mansion now?"

Yingshi thought that the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion and the Duke of Anguo's Mansion were not far away anyway, and it was still too late to leave now.

Su Junxi turned around and entered the room as if nothing had happened, and silently closed the door: "You two should go down and have a rest."

"Miss, I have something to call my servant." Yan'er felt blessed and left with Ying Shi.

Su Junxi was lying on the bed, tossing and turning without feeling sleepy. At this time, there was movement outside the window.

She got up and tiptoed to the window, and asked softly: "Who is it?"

Someone outside knocked on the window: "It's me."

Su Junxi felt that the voice was familiar and opened the window cautiously.

"You have something to do with me?" Su Junxi remembered that the two of them had already cleared up their relationship. What did he mean by his visit in the middle of the night?
Li Junyi raised his head and glanced at Su Junxi, then looked around and said, "Let me in first."

Before Su Junxi could stop him, Li Junyi had jumped into the room and closed the window skillfully.

Seeing this, Su Junxi joked: "Young master is quite skillful."

Facing Su Junxi's teasing, Li Junyi did not answer. He just looked at the decoration in the room and said with disgust: "She is also the Marquis of Jingan after all. Why is the house so simple?"

After Su Junxi got married, she didn't want to betray her husband's family who disliked extravagance and waste, so she kept everything simple, which seemed like a disrespected existence in the eyes of outsiders.

"Why did you come to see me?" Su Junxi felt a little panicked. If there was a man in the house in the middle of the night, her reputation would be ruined if someone with intentions saw it.

Li Junyi seemed to have noticed Su Junxi's worry, and he sat down and poured water for himself without any scruples: "Don't worry, those losers in the Hou Mansion didn't see me. What's more, he doesn't come here often. several times."
