Rebirth of marriage

As soon as they thought of Song Nianru and her daughter, their conspiracy came up.

Duke Zhenguo had already informed the two of them about Nihuang's search for the third prince, so they were not too surprised by the banquet at the third prince's residence.

Since Xie Jiu left the Yongning Hou Mansion, he has been just an ordinary citizen with no background, but he has also received an invitation. The purpose of the other party is self-evident.

This banquet is for giving thanks.

But Song Nianru and her daughter couldn't afford to get up early without any benefit. The purpose of planning this event was not just to thank them for drinking, but more importantly, to seek benefits for themselves.

Xie Jiu had already figured out Song Nianru's thoughts, and could probably guess what would happen at the banquet. She looked at Gu Xiao, "Are you going?"

Gu Xiao rarely attended banquets in the past.

"Go, of course." Gu Xiao did not hesitate.

Xie Jiu smiled, "I'll send a letter to Xiao Shu and ask her to come back after the banquet is over to avoid being tricked."

"Okay." Gu Xiao nodded, then poked the little snake on Xie Jiu's hand with his finger, "Xiao Shu doesn't need to go, but I have to take this little snake with me."

The little snake was sleeping soundly, and he couldn't bear to be disturbed and vomited the message.

Gu Xiao was very fond of this little snake that could protect Xie Jiu. Looking at it like this, he found it cute for no reason and said with a smile, "Could you give it a name?"

You can't keep screaming like a little snake.

Xie Jiu also felt that it was necessary. He thought about it seriously and said, "King Golden Horn."

Gu Xiao couldn't laugh or cry.

A little snake that is only as long as his palm and as thick as Xie Jiu's little finger is now a king, so give him the golden horn.

Xie Jiu scolded him, "It's the Snake King. He will command the snakes in the future, so he must have a majestic name. In the story Master told before, the Snake King has horns, and the golden horns are beautiful and rich."

Gu Xiao smiled even more happily after hearing her explanation.

The previously heavy atmosphere in the room dissipated a lot because of this smile, and the name of the little snake was stubbornly fixed by Xie Jiu amidst the laughter.

The atmosphere in the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion was solemn. Mrs. Mingyuan Hou came to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion early in the morning.

But the old Duke of Zhen took Zhao Qingyun to inspect the army last night. Mrs. Mingyuan Hou could not find Duke Zhen, so she had to stay in the old lady's room and cry to her about the misery of Marquis Mingyuan.

The old lady was very sick. When she heard that her precious nephew had his feet chopped off, she was so anxious that she struggled to get up from the bed and ordered Zhao Huaikang to go to the military camp to call the Duke of Zhen to return home.

Not only did Zhao Huaikang not invite the Duke of Zhen Guo back, he also did not go home. The old lady urged the housekeeper to invite him back. In the evening, Duke Zhen Guo returned home with Zhao Huaikang and Zhao Qingyun.

The old lady was holding back her anger and wanted to vent her anger on Duke Zhen, but after holding on for a day, her body couldn't bear it. After hearing that Duke Zhen was back, she let out a sigh of relief and passed out.

Mrs. Mingyuan Marquis didn't care to wait for the old lady to wake up. She got up and went to the front yard. When she saw the Duke of Zhen, she knelt down and said, "Uncle, please make the decision for my Marquis."

"You get up and talk first." Duke Zhen Guo sat down and poured a cup of tea first.

He was the one who chopped off the feet of Marquis Mingyuan. He was in the army today, and the news of Marquis Mingyuan's feet being chopped off was also reported back to the army. He couldn't pretend not to know.

But make the decision for him...

Duke Zhen sneered in his heart, but did not show it on his face, "Do you know who did it? Or has he offended someone recently?"

Mrs. Mingyuan Hou shook her head, "My Lord Hou has always been kind to others, and he has never offended anyone."

"In this case, how can I make the decision for him?" Zhen Guo Gong's face darkened, "He is also sleeping at home. If he didn't provoke anyone he shouldn't provoke, why didn't the other party chop others but just him?

After the incident, did you check carefully to see who entered the house that night? "

Mrs. Mingyuan Hou choked. She didn't know very well what her man was like or what he had done, but she didn't know it at all. But she couldn't tell the Duke of Zhen Guo about these things. She had to say, "My nephew-in-law is worried about Mr. Hou. I haven’t checked it yet, I will check it when I get home later.”

"Let's check carefully. Anyone who can sneak into the Marquis Mansion and hurt people without being discovered by the guards must have an insider." Duke Zhenguo reminded her, "If there is really a huge hatred, it won't just cut off the feet, but Take your life."

That night, he saw with his own eyes Song Nianru, dressed as a servant, walking out of the small door under the leadership of the housekeeper of Mingyuan Hou Mansion. Judging from the relationship between the two, it was clear that their relationship was anything but ordinary.

King Xiao said that the matter must not be traced to the Zhenguo government, but Wu Chong could not handle the case and be targeted by Cao's party, so he could only find a scapegoat.

He still lacked some evidence about what happened back then. Maybe he could get some unexpected gains with the help of Mingyuan Hou's wife, so he sighed, "Sun Fan has been with me since he was a child. I feel uncomfortable when I hear that something happened to him, but now His Majesty has ordered Dali Temple to take over the case."

Sun Fan is the name of Marquis Mingyuan.

"It is even more inconvenient for me to get involved in the affairs of the Marquis's residence. All I can do is to let one of my own take his place temporarily. His feet have been destroyed. It will be difficult for me to return to the army. The imperial court will not use someone who cannot stand up." General.

But your eldest son has reached adulthood. It is not impossible to inherit his father's title in a year and a half. "

The purpose of Mrs. Mingyuan Hou's coming here was just to know that Mingyuan Hou would hardly have a future, and she wanted to beg Duke Zhen Guo to help their palace. Since Duke Zhen Guo said that her son would become a prince, she felt sad in her heart. Much more practical.

The man is not a good man, but his son is close to her. In the future, when her son becomes Marquis Mingyuan, her and her daughter's life will not be worse than now.

Thinking like this, she got up and left, going back to the house to find out who entered the house on the night of the accident.

The old lady woke up after dinner. When she woke up, she asked the old lady beside her to invite Duke Zhen to come over. Duke Zhen Guo thought with his toes that he knew what she would say and didn't want to pay attention to her.

But Mingyuan Marquis was the old lady's treasured son, and she was willing to go to great lengths to punish her son and daughter-in-law for her mother's beloved son.

Zhao Huaikang and his wife were called by the old lady to kneel in front of the bed.

When Duke Zhen Guo heard about this, he was so angry that he smashed his desk with his fist and stormed to the old lady's courtyard. After retreating all the servants in the courtyard, he ordered Ah Hou and Zhao Qingyun to personally guard the entrance of the courtyard.

He strode to the old lady's bed and lifted up his son and daughter-in-law one by one. He originally wanted to ask the two of them to step back, but in the end he lifted them to the small square table in front of the bed and said, "You two, why don't you two? I sit well and listen well."

They are Qingyun's parents and should learn to share the burden for their children. They are Huai'an's younger brother and sister-in-law, and they should know the truth.

"What are you doing?" the old lady said angrily, "Sun Fan is the only nephew left in my natal family. If something happened to him, I asked Kang'er to look for you. Not only did he not look for you, he also stayed in the army. It is unfilial to disobey his mother, and it is unjust to ignore his cousin's troubles."

"For your nephew, you accused your son of being unfilial and unjust. You are really a good mother." Duke Zhenguo dragged a chair, sat in front of the old lady with a golden sword, and said in a deep voice, " Then I’ll tell you that I won’t let him come back, so what crime are you going to charge me with?”

"You, why are you doing this?" The old lady had guessed it in her heart, but she still couldn't believe it. In the past, the Duke treated Fan'er well. She asked, "Fan'er has been in our Duke's house since he was a child, and he respected you. Like father, now that something happened to him, why are you so cruel?"

The Duke of Zhen Guo looked at the old lady with burning eyes and said word by word, "Because his script was cut by me. I will not only cut off his feet, I will also take his head and make the Mingyuan Marquis Mansion disappear completely." .”

His words were like a thunder, causing the three people in the room to freeze on the spot. The Duke of Zhen took the opportunity to take out a pill and stuffed it into the old lady's mouth.

He wanted her to see with her own eyes the fate of Mingyuan Hou Mansion.

It took the old lady a long time to come back to her senses and asked in an almost sad voice, "Why, why, why do you do this."

Zhao Huaikang and his wife also stood up in shock. The Duke of Zhenguo glanced at them and said sternly, "Sit down."

The two of them shrank, then sat back holding hands, and the Duke of Laozhen sighed silently.

When the old lady saw that Duke Zhen Guo didn't answer her, she raised her hand and was about to hit Duke Zhen Guo on the arm, but Duke Zhen Guo blocked her back. Duke Zhen Guo's eyes were dark and threatening, and he looked at the old lady, "I Let me ask you, when did you find out that Sun Fan and the others had transferred a child from Huai'an?"
