The beauty of the Hou family and the king's plan

"Sorry, it's my fault." Although Xiao Li apologized to Shen Baozhao awkwardly, at least his tone was not as harsh as before.

Shen Baozhao also took advantage of the situation and wiped away his tears, and once again retreated to advance: "If my cousin is really worried, I can not see my grandmother.

All these years, my younger brother and I have been through this without anyone loving us."

He smiled bitterly and said, "Although my grandmother's embrace is warm, I am probably not destined to be with her. I will not bother her anymore in the future."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

"Cousin, wait a minute." Xiao Li spoke to stop Bao Zhao.

He slowed down his voice and said, "That's not what I meant. Grandmother has always missed my aunt, and her health has been getting weaker in recent years.

I naturally hope that you can also be in her arms. She was very happy to see you today.

If I post this to you, I hope you won’t mind what I said today. Just think of it as a way to fulfill your filial duty to your aunt.”

Speaking of Princess Yu's health, Xiao Li was also very worried.

"As long as my cousin doesn't doubt my intentions, I'm willing to do it.

Besides, as long as grandma takes care of herself, she will definitely recover."

Shen Baozhao is very confident in his medical skills.

"Are you serious about what my cousin said?" Xiao Li was a little excited.

“Of course, although I didn’t grow up with my grandmother, my feelings for her are the same as my cousin’s.

How can you say such a thing if you are not sure? "

Shen Baozhao felt that although Xiao Li was a cold-hearted person who kept people at a distance.

But he was very caring towards his family, especially Princess Yu.

She is also very protective of her, as can be seen from the fact that the Colosseum did not continue to embarrass her.

No matter how much doubt he has in his heart, he will still defend himself in front of outsiders.

Xiao Li chatted with Shen Baozhao for a long time and his opinion of this cousin changed a little.

It's nothing, she just lost her mother in her childhood and lacked love, so her personality is not as gentle as that of ordinary ladies.

If she didn't become more self-reliant, she might not be able to survive in the Ning'an Marquis's Mansion.

It is also the fault of Prince Yu’s Mansion that my aunt’s descendants have to live such a humble life.

The dowry issue was a hot topic, and my grandmother had long wanted to go to the Ning'an Marquis's mansion to find out what was going on. But I had always stopped her with my grandfather's words.

In the final analysis, he was also wrong. Xiao Li reflected on himself.

Although he let go of his prejudice against Shen Baozhao, he still did not dispel all his doubts.

The Xuepo Pill was still on his mind.

"Cousin, do you know about the Poison Star Valley?" Xiao Li asked tentatively.

Shen Baozhao's heart skipped a beat, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face: "What Poison Star Valley? I have never heard of what my cousin is talking about."

Xiao Li couldn't tell from Shen Baozhao's expression whether she was telling the truth or not, so he ignored it and didn't mention it again.

"Tomorrow, please ask my cousin to come to my house to treat my grandmother."

Shen Baozhao nodded and responded obediently.

"Cousin, could you please stop having people keep an eye on the Ning'an Marquis's Mansion?" Shen Baozhao looked at Xiao Li expectantly.

"No!" Xiao Li refused sternly.

"Why? Could it be that my cousin still doesn't believe me?" As he spoke, Shen Baozhao wanted to use the same trick again.

Too bad it didn't work this time.

Xiao Li's position was firm. "Someone is watching the Ning'an Marquis's Mansion and can protect you."

Of course he didn't say it, he still had doubts about her.

He was afraid that she would shed a few more tears, so he couldn't help but compromise.

So after saying this, he said goodbye to Shen Baozhao, without giving her the chance to quibble, oh no, to explain.

Shen Baozhao looked at Xiao Li's fleeing back and became playful. He picked up a small stone on the ground and threw it at him.

Xiao Li was hit on the back, his whole body was stiff. Without turning his head, he strode forward.

From afar came the bell-like laughter of Shen Baozhao and Qingkong.

After returning to Zhaoming Garden, Shen Baozhao thought that he had gained a lot today.

Find out from their grandmother the attitude of Prince Yu's Mansion towards them.

Instead of disgust as I had thought, there was genuine concern.

In this way, Prince Yu’s Mansion would know about my mother’s affairs.

After all, Prince Yu might be able to figure out a little bit about what the emperor is coveting.

On the desk was a note sent by the concierge from the government office.

Xiao Li acted so quickly that the invitation arrived before she even returned home.

Tomorrow is a day off, so Shen Baozhao decided to bring his father and brother with him.

Qingkong has been asked to notify them.

But after receiving the notification from Shen Baozhao, the second master rushed to his daughter's yard without stopping.

After entering the study, he seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

Shen Baozhao picked up the purple clay teapot and poured a cup of tea for the second master.

"Father, are you here for tomorrow's event?"

The second master nodded.

"Zhao Zhao, don't you know that your grandfather..." The second master found it difficult to speak.

Even though his father-in-law is old, every time the second master sees him, he will be beaten and he dares not fight back at all.

"Grandfather is not in Kyoto. We are going to meet grandmother tomorrow." Shen Baozhao said calmly.

The second master sighed and said, "Although your mother is not your grandparents' biological daughter, she is treated better than her own biological daughter.

They haven't liked being a father since your mother died."

“I once took you to your house, but you could only get to the gatehouse and couldn’t even get through the hanging flower door.

After that, I stopped worrying about it and stopped bothering them. "

Shen Baozhao saw that the second master looked aggrieved when he spoke, so he asked, "Father, why do you think your maternal grandparents don't like you?"

"According to what you said, they love their mother very much. They should also love her family as well.

Why don't they let you in after your mother left?"

"I'm afraid they misunderstood that your father didn't treat your mother well."

Shen Baozhao pressed on: "What did father do to cause such misunderstanding?"

"This..." The second master was speechless.

He didn't know either. He just remembered that his wife had passed away and he was extremely sad.

Seeing that he was sad, the eldest brother gave him a pot of wine and stayed with him.

He was so drunk that he was unconscious and didn't even know when his wife would die.

I only learned from my eldest brother afterwards that Prince Yu's Mansion had come to the Ning'an Marquis' Mansion.

When he went to apologize, his father-in-law and several uncles refused to let him in and beat him up.

Even his mother-in-law, who was always kind to him, looked at him as if his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes.

The second master smiled bitterly: "Zhao Zhao, you and Jie Ling should not go tomorrow. Let your father go alone."

He was afraid that his children would also suffer because of him, so he wanted to go alone.

"But father, the invitation from Prince Yu's Mansion was sent to my daughter.

Today, my daughter went to the Fahua Temple to burn incense for her mother and ran into her grandmother. "

"She is not in good health and misses her mother very much. I think Jie Ling and I should get closer to her."

The second master sighed and said, “Your mother and your grandmother had a very deep relationship.

Well, tomorrow your father will go with you."

Shen Baozhao then nodded with satisfaction and ordered Bixiao to go to Tingyuxuan to invite the third wife Tang and his younger brother Jie Ling.

When the second master heard that Shen Baozhao wanted to invite Tang, he quickly stood up and was about to leave.

Shen Baozhao stopped him and said, "Father, wait a moment. Third Aunt has something to tell you."

The second master was puzzled. The total number of sentences he and Tang had spoken was less than ten. What could Tang have to say to him?

"Zhao Zhao, it's too late. This is not right."

"If you have no guilt in your heart, then everything is fine. If you harbor evil in your heart, then nothing is fine either."

The second master had no idea what his daughter was talking about, and seeing that she looked so heavy, he didn't dare to ask.

But he knew that Tang must have something important to tell him.
