After the rebirth, Lord Hou treats me like a treasure

Chapter 422
Chen Quan gently closed the door of the imperial study, and winked at the other trembling palace servants.

In the past few days, the emperor has been in a very bad mood. Those who served in front of him have noticed it, and they have become more cautious in doing things, and no one wants to get into trouble.

Today is the grand wedding day of Duke Qi Moyuan, Chen Quan found that the emperor's mood became even more gloomy.

At this moment, in the dark room, Zhao Heng's face was condensed. He looked at the portraits hanging on the wall. There are countless portraits here, all painted by himself over the years. The people inside sometimes smiled brightly and sometimes were angry. It's like living by his side, never leaving.

But today he felt that something was completely lost.

"Your Majesty, the tenant couple has entered the capital." Long Wei's voice came from outside the dark room.

Zhao Heng's eyes darkened slightly, "Take me to see them immediately."

"The second daughter of the Qi family is also back." Long Wei said.

"Go and see the tenants first." Zhao Heng said.

Long Wei placed the couple of tenant farmers in a village outside the city. The couple leaned together nervously, not knowing who brought them here and what they were for.

"Brother, you... who the hell are you? Didn't you say that you can let us take a look at the girl?"

Long Wei, who was guarding the door, was expressionless and didn't say a word.

The peasant woman took her husband's hand and asked in a low voice, "Didn't the girl send someone to pick us up, could it be... that family wants to kill us?"

"Don't talk nonsense, why do you want to kill us?" The tenant reprimanded, but his expression became more and more flustered.

Zhao Heng hid in the dark and observed the couple. A person's growth environment is very important. It can determine what kind of person she is raised. How did they raise Wei Wangning?
How could she be raised...to be a bold and eye-catching girl.

Children who grew up in the countryside have limited eyesight, but all the shortcomings of village women are not seen in Wei Wangning. She seems to have lived in the capital city, no matter what she says or does, she is calm and calm.

"Shut up, our master has something to ask you." One of the guards walked in and yelled at the tenant couple.

Zhao Heng didn't show his face, but just stood behind the curtain and asked in a deep voice, "Wei Wangning, the fifth girl from Changyuanhou's family, was raised by you?"

"What... what Wei Wang Ning." The peasant woman looked at her husband suspiciously.

The tenant shook his head violently, "We don't know what you're talking about."

"Did you forget the girl you picked up in the fire 15 years ago?" Zhao Heng asked coldly.

The peasant woman's eyes lit up, "Did the girl come to pick us up?"

The tenant glared at his wife. Those nobles had warned them that they could never tell anyone about this in this life, and they couldn't admit that the girl was raised by them, otherwise the girl would be looked down upon and her life would be ruined.

"You misidentified the person, there is no such thing." The tenant shouted.

"Really?" Suddenly, the long sword in the hands of the dragon guard by the door rested on the tenant's neck.

"Ah, what are you going to do!" the peasant woman screamed suddenly, looking at the sword weakly.

Zhao Heng said lightly, "I just asked you a few words and answered honestly. Of course it won't hurt you."

"What do you want to know?" asked the peasant woman.

"Tell me what kind of daughter you have raised." Zhao Heng said, and asked Long Wei to show the portrait of Wei Wangning to the peasant woman, "You still know her."

As soon as the peasant woman saw the portrait, she immediately recognized the brightly dressed girl inside as her daughter, "Girl!"

Zhao Heng asked, "You have raised her for 13 years, so you should know exactly what kind of person she is."

"What else can she do, isn't she just a girl, chopping pig grass for us every day or working in the fields, she is what I am, but she is lucky, and now she can go back to be a nobleman." The peasant woman said angrily.

Zhao Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, "Is she literate?"

"Both of us are illiterate, how could she know how to read?" said the peasant woman.

The tenant cried anxiously, "Smelly lady, have you said enough?"

"Why, I was wrong. She went to enjoy the blessings. She didn't even think about us. If she is really filial, she should take us to the capital city and let us enjoy the blessings with her." The peasant woman shouted angrily. .

Listening to the quarrel inside, Zhao Heng stretched out his hand to suppress the smile on the corner of his mouth.

illiterate……

Wei Wangning, who is now married into the Qi family, and the daughter the peasant woman spoke of are clearly two different people.

"Take care of them." Zhao Heng ordered, turned and left.

……

……

The Qi family was full of joy, everyone was immersed in joy, only Xiao Lian's face was not very good-looking, looking at the female relatives clustered around Mrs. Qi, her side seemed particularly deserted.

It's really a group of people who worship the high and step on the low. Before Qi Moyuan was down and out, these people surrounded her one by one, but now they are all flattering the old.

She knew very well in her heart that they all thought that Wei Wangning was the Duke's wife when he entered the door. From now on, the Duke's mansion would be ruled by Wei Wangning. Hmph, she would like to see how a country bumpkin can manage the entire Duke's mansion.

"Mother, where's the second sister?" Qi Yangze came to Xiao Lian's side. The second sister just came back yesterday, and the elder brother told him to look at the second sister more. He could have seen it, but he disappeared when he turned around.

Because of her daughter's change of temperament, Xiao Lian and Qi Yiru are still angry, "How do I know, hide in her room."

Qi Yangze said, "I'll go find my second sister."

"It's really worrying." Xiao Lian scolded angrily, she paved the way for Qi Yiru, all she had to do was wait for the emperor's decree to enter the palace, but in the end, she actually said that she didn't want to enter the palace.

As long as she begs Qi Moyuan, wouldn't Qi Moyuan even help his own sister?
Really pissed her off.

No one knew that Qi Yiru was not in the Qi Mansion at this time, but was lured outside by Long Wei's posing as a maid, and after being knocked out, she was sent to a room.

Qi Yiru woke up dizzy, looking at the unfamiliar decoration, she was shocked, "Who?"

"It's me." Zhao Heng came from the darkness, raised his eyes and looked at her lightly.

"Your Majesty?" Qi Yiru was taken aback, and hurriedly got up to salute.

Zhao Heng said, "Stay flat, I have a few words to ask you."

Qi Yiru frowned slightly, but she just wanted to ask her why she was tricked out of the Qi family.

"What happened before you left the capital city for Jiangnan?" Zhao Heng asked lightly.

"..." Qi Yiru's face changed, and he looked at him in horror, "Why does the emperor ask such a question?"

"I've been haunted by nightmares recently, always dreaming about A-Ning..." Zhao Heng said in a low voice, "Does she mind that I summoned you into the palace? If so, do you think you should be allowed to accompany her?" ?”
