The lady escaped marriage and became addicted

Chapter 122
Lord Lu squinted his eyes and looked at Zhao Shihua's back, suddenly grabbed a teacup on the table and threw it out forcefully. "Kuu..." The teacup hit the doorpost, and then fell to the ground with a crash and shattered.

"Humph! Don't eat and drink fine for toasting!"

When Zhao Shihua returned home, the family had already had dinner.Gu Wanniang and her nephew and daughter-in-law Qian Ying were doing needlework, while brothers Annan and Anqi were reading in the study.The school has not yet started, but they have homework every day, and they have never missed a day.

An Ran was embroidering with her mother, but when she saw her father came back, she greeted her with a smile.

"Daddy, you're back! What does Lord Lu look like? Did you tell us about anything interesting? By the way, is there anything particularly delicious at the banquet? We'll make it ourselves tomorrow."

Zhao Shihua bent down to touch his daughter's small face, and said with a slight smile, "You're six years old this year, and you're still so greedy, what's wrong?"

It's rare that Daddy didn't hug her today, An Ran feels disappointed for a while, but then she sensitively realizes that there is something wrong with Daddy's expression.Thinking that Daddy is going to attend Master Lu's welcome banquet today, could it be that Daddy and Master Lu don't get along well?

You must know that Mr. Lu will be the parent officer of Hejiang County for the next three years. If you offend him, I'm afraid life will not be easy.But daddy has always been smooth and measured in dealing with things, so he probably wouldn't do anything sinful. Could it be that Mr. Lu deliberately made things difficult for daddy?But okay, then why did Master Lu make things difficult for Dad?

An Ran thought that she was only six years old this year, even if her father had something to do, she would not tell her. After thinking about it, she secretly ran to find her eldest cousin, An Nan.Looking at these people in the family, the only one that Dad could confide in matters involving court officials and the like was the eldest cousin.

Annan was surprised what An Ran was doing in the study at such a late hour, but then he thought that she was living with Qian Ying now, thinking that Qian Ying had something to ask him to ask An Ran to pass on the message, so he avoided An Qi and took her with him. An Ran reached the corner of the corridor outside before asking: "Sister Ran, what's the matter?"

Annan looked at An Ran nervously and expectantly, but he didn't want what An Ran said had nothing to do with what he imagined.An Ran said with a serious and anxious look: "Brother, Daddy is back, I think there is something wrong with his expression. He should come to see you and brother's homework later, you should find a chance to ask about it." .”

Annan was a little ashamed, but was immediately frightened by Anran's seriousness.

"Didn't you ask Second Uncle? Second Uncle always loves you the most, so why doesn't he tell you?"

"It's about Mr. Lu. Daddy will definitely not tell me. In the whole family, only the eldest brother can ask."

"Don't worry, I will find a way to find out. But don't worry, sister, you are only six years old, and the second uncle is an adult, so even if something happens, you can solve it." Annan nodded, feeling that he had a heavy responsibility and could not let him down Enron's trust.

An Ran lowered her head, hesitated for a moment before raising her head and said, "I think this incident is unusual. I've never seen Daddy like this..." Such preoccupation clearly shows that Daddy is not sure!Daddy looked like this, she had appeared once last year after meeting Master Ming Jing, but it was obviously not as serious as it is today.

Annan heard An Ran's serious words, and he also became nervous in his heart.He took An Ran's hand back and said: "It's cold outside, you should go back to your room quickly. Get some rest early tonight, and I'll let you know tomorrow morning after I've asked you clearly."

An Ran nodded, and went back to find her mother.

When Zhao Shihua came back, Qian Ying went back to the room, and Gu Wanniang also went back to the room to prepare hot water for Zhao Shihua to wash, prepare soup for sobering up, clothes for going out tomorrow, etc.An Ran took advantage of the opportunity of her father to see her two elder brothers and slipped in, pulled Mrs. Gu Wan and asked the little ghost: "Mother, Daddy has something on his mind, can you see it?"

Gu Wanniang was stunned: "Is there? Your father has drunk too much wine and is a little tired, right? Mother has prepared hangover soup and hot water for your father to take a bath, so don't worry. Yulan, why don't you take the girl back to the room to rest? "

"Yulan, wait outside first!" An Ran ordered outside, then pulled her mother aside, and said seriously, "Mother, Daddy really has something to do. When Daddy comes back later, you can find a chance to ask about it." Look. As the saying goes, 'Three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang'. If something happens to Daddy, we can figure it out together."

Gu Wanniang saw her daughter speak so cautiously, recalling what her husband said and his expression just now, it seemed that she really had a forced smile.Isn't it true that he drank too much?

"Okay, mother knows, it's getting late, you go back quickly!"

Seeing that her mother had listened, An Ran went out and took Yulan back to her room.

That night, Zhao Annan kept beating around for a long time, but he couldn't find out what happened, but Annan could also see that the second uncle really had something on his mind, but my sister was not talking nonsense.

Gu Wanniang didn't ask anything at first, she just served Zhao Shihua, drank hangover soup and took a hot bath before going to bed.However, after lying on the bed, Gu Wanniang suddenly asked, "Second brother, is there something on your mind today? You didn't say a few words to me and sister Ran."

Zhao Shihua held his wife's warm palm, hesitated for a moment before sighing: "I'm a little worried."

"Worried? What are you worried about?" Gu Wanniang became a little anxious when she heard this.

Zhao Shihua patted his wife's arm lightly, and comforted him: "Don't worry, listen to me slowly. That Mr. Lu is not as talkative as Mr. Qian, and I'm afraid he is not a good official who is diligent and caring for the people. Tonight's banquet In the end, he left me and wanted to give me one of his maidservants. I didn't want it, and I probably offended him. I thought, or we'd better go back to our hometown. Brother Nan is studying in the county school, so His wife will stay and take care of him. As for Brother Qi, I will personally teach him when I go back. "

After listening to Zhao Shihua's words, Gu Wanniang was not only not relieved, but even more worried.

"Master Lu, why did you send your maid for no reason? Since you knew he was going to be angry, why didn't you accept it? I know what you mean, and I'm not that unreasonable person. Even if you bring her back, we won't let her do it. Concubines are fine too!"
