Second marriage to the regent

Chapter 35 Participating in Autumn Hunting
"Miss, there is a letter from the old lady of the Hou Mansion. I hope you can go back tomorrow."

Just as Yan'er was about to go out, she met someone sent by the old lady at the door, saying that she wanted Su Junxi to go back to the Hou Mansion.

Su Junxi was puzzled as to why the old lady suddenly called her back. Could it be that something had happened to the Hou Mansion?
"What did the old lady say?" Su Junxi asked.

She felt that the old lady would not let her go back for no reason.

Yan'er didn't know either and shook her head.

It seems that I can only go back once, so that Jun'er can exercise on his own.

"Mother!"

Jun'er suddenly ran in.

In his arms was a pitiful, dying puppy.

Yan'er quickly covered her nose after smelling the smell, pulled Jun'er to the side, and said disgustedly: "Where did you pick it up? It's so dirty, throw it away quickly!"

Yan'er was afraid that Jun'er's smell would make Su Junxi angry, but Jun'er refused and hugged her tighter.

"I don't want it! I want to keep it!" Jun'er had a muddy face and refused to let go.

Seeing this, Su Junxi gave Yan'er a look, and then told Jun'er: "Mother can agree to you keeping it, but this is your master's mansion. If it causes trouble, do you have the courage to bear everything?"

Jun'er nodded without hesitation and promised: "Don't worry, mother, I will discipline it well!"

But Su Junxi really couldn't stand the smell, so she called a boy and took Jun'er down.

Seeing Jun'er being taken away, Yan'er felt that Su Junxi had become more and more interested in this child recently and doted on him more and more. She was very puzzled and said, "Miss Bai may not be grateful to you for doting on him like this."

Su Junxi smiled after hearing this and said, "It's time for him to understand something. It's time for him to make a choice whether he wants power or family affection."

How can the hatred for Bai be eliminated, but how can the hatred be eliminated by his own son if he does it himself?

She had plenty of time to play with them slowly.

Houfu
Su Junxi followed the old lady's instructions and returned to the Hou Mansion from the western suburbs the next day.

After hearing the news that Su Junxi was back, Bai came to see him without stopping.

Seeing Su Junxi coming back alone, the expectant look in her eyes dimmed instantly, and she twitched her lips in embarrassment: "Madam is back."

"Yeah." Su Junxi responded softly.

Perhaps he mistakenly thought that he would bring Jun'er back, so she came to the front yard so nervously.

She didn't see Tang Zhili when she came back. She had to pass through Zhuyuan when she returned to her yard, and saw his entourage waiting outside Zhuyuan. She knew that Tang Zhili had always lived in Zhuyuan.

Tang Zhili had been doting on another woman, but Bai's face was calm and calm, which made Su Junxi a little confused.

Could it be that the estrangement between the two of her has become so serious in just a few days?
However, she didn't have much time to care about this matter right now. Instead, she was wondering if something had happened to the old lady.

"How's the old lady doing lately?" Su Junxi asked in a low voice.

Bai shook her head. She hadn't heard of the old lady feeling any discomfort in the past few days, and Su Junxi came back in a hurry. Could it be that the old lady wanted to see her and deliberately lied about something urgent at home that needed Su Junxi to deal with as soon as possible?

All kinds of doubts quickly emerged in Su Junxi's heart. After returning to the room, she changed clothes and went to see the old lady without having time to rest.

As soon as I arrived at the old lady's yard and was about to say hello, the old lady's voice came to my ears.

"No need!" The old lady's majestic voice made the seemingly empty room instantly brighter.

Su Junxi did not waste any time and asked directly: "I wonder if the old lady called my granddaughter-in-law back, but she is ill?" The old lady was already very old. Apart from this problem, Su Junxi could not think of any suitable reason.

The old lady didn't hide it, she said directly: "Did you know that I am so anxious to get you back, but why?"

Su Junxi couldn't imagine what the old lady was doing, so she responded softly: "My granddaughter-in-law doesn't know, please let the old lady clarify."

"I heard that not only the princes of the Western Regions will participate in this year's autumn hunt, but also the regent. On such an occasion, the Marquis will naturally go together, and I hope you will accompany me."

During the autumn hunt, ministers would bring their female relatives with them. The old lady hoped that Su Junxi could take this opportunity to spend more time with the ministers' female relatives, which would also be helpful to Tang Zhili in the future.

Su Junxi understood the intention of these words, and it turned out that everything was for Tang Zhili's future.

She had no choice but to agree: "My granddaughter-in-law should do her best to help the Marquis."

"You two are husband and wife no matter what, so we should share weal and woe!" The old lady once again helped Su Junxi remember that she was Tang Zhili's wife.

Su Junxi, who had a smooth face, suddenly fell down when she heard that she was Tang Zhili's wife.

This subtle change was not noticed by the old lady. After chatting with the old lady for a while, she arrived in her yard.

At this time, Mrs. Bai was sitting quietly in the pavilion, lowering her head to embroider. She was so engrossed that she didn't notice Su Junxi's return.

Yan'er had no choice but to remind her: "Aunt Bai's skills are improving very quickly."

When Bai heard the sound, she looked up and saw that Su Junxi was back. She quickly stood up and saluted: "Madam is back."

"Sit." Su Junxi invited.

The two of them sat face to face, and the atmosphere didn't feel anything strange.

Bai wanted to know why the old lady called Su Junxi back, but she couldn't find any suitable reason to ask, so she could only stare at Su Junxi.

Su Junxi saw through Bai's mind at a glance and asked her, "Want to know why the old lady is looking for me?"

Bai looked up at Su Junxi in slight surprise, and then nodded.

Su Junxi did not hide it from her. After all, it was not a shameful thing. She told her: "Tomorrow is the annual autumn hunting event. The old lady asked me to accompany the Marquis to participate."

Li Wanwan had recently let Tang Zhili take such a liking to her, so she thought she would take Li Wanwan with her. Bai reminded her: "Master Hou may take Aunt Li with him, and the autumn hunting activity is in the mountains, Madam. Take care."

Facing Bai's concern, Su Junxi felt unfazed, and even extended an invitation: "Don't you want to go together and witness the royal autumn hunting activities?"

Hearing Su Junxi's words, Bai's eyes instantly lit up, and she asked in disbelief: "Can I... really go with the Marquis?"

Su Junxi was worried about how to find a suitable opportunity to take revenge, but this event gave her the best opportunity.

"Why not? Get ready and go with me tomorrow." Su Junxi stood up and left without saying this.

As soon as she returned to the house, Tang Zhili paid a strange visit after hearing the news.

"I heard that the old lady wants you to accompany me to this year's autumn hunting event?"

Before anyone even entered the house, the questioning voice arrived first.

Su Junxi sipped her tea calmly and nodded in response.

"Autumn hunting is a very dangerous activity. It's better for you to stay at home. If something happens to you, I won't be able to report it to Anguo."

Tang Zhili expressed his worries.
