C138 Return to Hou Mansion

When she thought about the mother and daughter who were enjoying themselves outside while Qingluo was suffering in the main hall, Luo Qingqi could not suppress the unhappiness in his heart, and he could not hide the resentment in his heart. Even now that he thought about it, he still did not want to forgive the Marquis of An.

"But now, you're safely by my side. Since you want to see them, I won't stop you. As long as you're happy, it's fine. I'm just a bit unworthy for you."

"After your accident, he even let that b * tch be the housekeeper for my mother to the point that he almost let that disgusting mother and daughter plot against me. Just thinking about it, I can't forgive him."

The moment Luo Qingqi mentioned Marquis Zhao, the scene of Zhao Minyan being buried in the soil unfolded in front of her eyes. Her delicate body seemed even skinnier and skinnier due to the entanglement of the soil.

When they were discovered, apart from a corner of the skirt, the rest of her body was covered in mud. Even though it was cleaned later, her face was deformed due to suffocation. It was impossible to see her original appearance.

Without even thinking, Luo Qingqi could imagine how much pain Zhao Minyan must have suffered and how much pain she must have suffered at that time. Hence, he felt even more resentful towards Marquis Zhao and looked down on him for destroying his own daughter's life for a pair of aunt and daughter.

Qing Luo knew that Luo Qingqi was pining for her, but she also pined for her father. That mother and daughter pair had disguised themselves too well, even she herself was deceived by their actions.

"Qing Wen, I'm sorry for making you so sad for me, but my father really treats me very well. When I was at home, he doted on me the most, even more than my mother. No matter what I do or what I want to do, as long as he can do it, he shouldn't do it."

"On the contrary, mother taught me a bit more, and also learned those bright red needles, and taught those calligraphy and painting, and also the steward. Even mother wanted me to learn everything from her, and she said that I was going to marry into the palace, so how could I lose someone to the prince?"

"If I take a step outside, that will be the face of the prince's mansion. I have to make the palace proud, and also have such a big family business. It won't be easy to manage and don't start from primary school. When I marry into the palace, I will regret it some time."

Father, on the other hand, has always advised Mother to take advantage of the fact that my daughter has been staying at home for the past few years to let her relax and not push too hard. I'm afraid that once I enter the palace, I won't have these relaxed days anymore.

"Qing Wen, I feel that I am the happiest girl in the entire capital, even in the entire country." Just recalling it caused Qingluo's voice to become even more lively. Luo Qingqi rubbed her hair and sighed softly.

Aunt Zhang has been following my father since a long time ago, you only need to see how close Zhao Mingzhi and I are. She is a scheming woman, and she has never revealed her ambitions.

"When I was young, she even spent more time with me than my mother, because my mother had a housekeeper and was very busy sometimes. My father had to go to the yamen, and he didn't always have time at home. I grew up under her care."

Even my mother thinks that she is a good woman, so, Qing Wen, this matter cannot be blamed on my father. The Aunt Zhang has really hidden our entire family from view. "

"Even if I die in her hands in the end, I don't have any regrets, because I've seen the wrong person." Even if I die in her hands, I don't have any regrets, because I've seen the wrong person.

"So, I really have to thank you for this matter. If you hadn't found out about this mother and daughter pair, our family would have continued to be tricked by them. I also won't be able to obtain Zhao Xue's innocence. Qing Wen, thank you!"

"Thank you for returning my innocence, and thank you for avenging me." Qingluo had originally thought that once she had the ability, she would definitely not let this mother and daughter off.

I'm willing to do all of this for you. I can only blame myself for being unable to do it a bit more heavily. Your good father tried to block me left and right, making it very difficult for me to do it.

When Luo Qingqi thought back to it now, he still felt some hatred. If not for Marquis Zhao begging him, that concubine girl of his would not have been able to live, and would only have suffered from a little cultivation.

Qing Wen, I know that you want to help me vent my anger, but you have to understand, as a father, there is no way for him to helplessly watch his other daughter get into trouble after losing a daughter, just like how you did to the Aunt Zhang. After he understood the truth, he did not intervene in the end.

Although this daughter had caused her previous daughter to lose her life, if she were to lose this, her father wouldn't be unable to bear it. No matter how bad it was, this was still her own flesh and blood.

He could not have watched his daughter die without caring. Just like when he had been sent to the main hall and his father had sent a message, he would find a way to bring him out as soon as possible.

"It means that you are magnanimous and forgiving. Forget it, since what has happened is already over, even if I am unwilling to let go, I cannot let Zhao Minyan come back to life. Fortunately, you are still by my side."

Luo Qingqi's meaning was that because you were here, I could let bygones be bygones. So Qingluo happily rubbed his face against Luo Qingqi's chest.

"Still, I have to thank you. I never thought that you would do so much for me. I was surprised when I heard about what you did."

"Because even though we were betrothed early, we've never really met. I've only heard of you from the mouths of others, and I've seen you from afar at the empress dowager's palace feast."

"You've also heard about me from other people, but you've never met me. Besides that time when you followed me to Pring Temple, we're almost strangers. I really didn't expect you to do so many things for me."

"I can't help but thank you. When others were explaining it to me, they said it with a face full of envy, the Seventh Prince is so good to me, even after she passed away, he was still willing to do so much for her."

"At that time, I was truly touched and jealous, because that meant that you were no longer mine; you were only Zhao Minyan's Seventh Prince."

Qingluo thought back to what she had heard from someone before, when Luo Qingqi had reprimanded Marquis Zhao in order to find Zhao Minyan's corpse, and had ruthlessly dealt with the mother and daughter of Aunt Zhang in order to deal with them. She couldn't say what she felt in her heart, could only feel gratified and sad at the same time.

"Being able to have this kind of power, it was truly beyond my expectations." At that time, he only thought of it as listening to the stories of others. Unexpectedly, the two of them could still be together, hugging and talking to each other.

"Jealous?" Luo Qingqi was not surprised to be happy. He was really happy to be able to have her again, but she looked really cute when he was jealous.

"Didn't I think I would never see you again? "Who knows I'll marry you in the end." It was really the arrangement of the heavens that allowed him to go to Grand Princess Ning Yuan's banquet that day and see her groin.

"That day, I was dragged away by the Heir Rongxing. I was already tired of coming to these banquets that were used as excuses to make up for my blind date. But afterwards, I was indeed glad that I went."

"So, although Heir Rongxing did something terrible, I didn't do anything to him because without him, I might have missed you. At least, he did something good."

But he also wouldn't give the Heir Rongxing any face. How much guts would he have to think of his woman?

"Tomorrow, Grand Princess Ning Yuan will also go to the house of the Marquis." However, Luo Qingqi was not surprised at all. After all, this was not a small matter. The people who joined were not just limited to the Grand Princess.

After all, she is my sister, and has always been good to me. If this Charity Hall can be set up again, it would be a good thing that will benefit both the nation and the citizens.

Especially in recruitment, the three of you, or the three of us who are here to manage this Charity Hall, are definitely not enough. There are too many matters involved, we must definitely recruit more people.

You will have to learn from the Madam Hou and Grand Princess. Although they do not stand in the imperial court, they are here to watch the changes in the imperial court after all these years. They have more experience than you do.

"Also, when you return, you have to discuss this with me. After all, there are some people that we cannot allow to join our faction. If that happens, it will be more than just this pool of water that will be messed up."

Qingluo nodded her head. She understood this, even though she wasn't too clear about the other factions, but she knew that the Grand Princess and the Prince were close. She was the Emperor's own sister, and her father was also part of the royalist faction.

However, just like what Ye Xiao had said, one had to be extra careful when selecting people. If one wasn't careful, it was possible that he would lose the entire bet.

This year's New Year's Eve was the first year the two of them would be together. Originally, they wanted to guard it together for a good year and let out a few thousand shots of it, but because of Luo Qingqi's shrewdness and the misunderstanding Zheng Qingluo had made, they had nearly missed this New Year's Eve.

The dumplings that were prepared in the small kitchen did not miss the time to cook. Luo San brought his men to set off the firecrackers, while Luo Qingqi and Qing Luo happily ate their dumplings in the room. The two of them felt that the dumplings today were especially tasty.

The detailed discussion tonight had brought their hearts closer to each other. Because the two of them now shared a common secret, the sweet and sour feelings in their hearts were clearer and clearer.
