Everyone stood up in shock, Shizi's wife scolded the old woman, cursing: "Presumptuous! If you have anything to report, hurry up and report, what a bluff!"

The old lady fell to her knees and replied in panic: "Miss Lian, she rushed out after waking up from a coma. No one can stop her. She has already left the house now!"

"What? Lian'er, Lian'er!" The second lady's legs were weak at that time, and she cried, "She must have gone to seek death, quickly find my Lian'er!"

Others also had a bad face, so they couldn't help but blame this girl for being ignorant.

At this time, she rushed out, it was impossible to seek death.

If you really want to die, you can do it at home.

It is convenient whether it is thrown into a well or hanged.

Therefore, the most likely thing for her to go out is to go to Zhen Guogong's mansion to withdraw her marriage, or to Xin Tinghou to express her heart, or to go to the palace to find the queen's cousin to intercede and let the emperor take back the will.

But no matter which one, she is not something a girl can do!

With a dark face, the old Hou Ye ordered: "Go and get her back. At this time, don't you think the family is not ashamed enough?!"

Everyone quickly responded.

Mrs. Shizi still wanted to enter the palace, so Shizi and the second master took their servants to find someone.

Only the second wife couldn't go out and couldn't enter the palace, so she could only cry non-stop, which made the old Hou Ye and Mrs. Hou even more unhappy.

The old couple had only two sons, both of whom were legitimate sons.

It stands to reason that brothers and friends should respect each other and rely on each other to support each other.

But the second couple always felt that their eccentricity as parents made the eldest inherit the title, and the daughter of the eldest also became the queen.

Therefore, the second couple are looking forward to marrying their daughter to Xintinghou.

Even if she can't be as glorious as the queen, at least she is Madam Hou, and she can be on an equal footing with her family in the future.

Now, the wish of the second couple has come to nothing, and I am afraid that the peaceful days of the family will come to an end...

If Lord Zhen Guo was here at this moment, he would definitely feel a sense of superiority in his heart.

He only has one son, which is also good, at least it won't cause trouble between brothers...

In front of the gate of Xintinghou's Mansion, the butler has been watching.

A porter came forward and spoke with a smile, "Housekeeper, go in and have some tea. Master Hou went to the wounded barracks, so I'm afraid he won't be back so soon."

"What kind of tea are you drinking?" The butler stared and said angrily, "You don't even think about it, the wounded barracks were all soldiers who followed Lord Hou through life and death, and now they are either missing arms or broken legs. Lord Hou doesn't know how uncomfortable he is. Woolen cloth.

"Let me tell you, I will take good care of you when Lord Hou comes back. Don't blame me for moving the board if you dare to disturb Lord Hou at this time!"

"No, no!" The servant hurriedly assured, "Don't worry, Chief Steward, Master Hou only comes back for so few days a year, and it's too late for us to rush to serve, how can we cause trouble for Master Hou?!"

"That's more or less the same!" The big butler was satisfied, and looked out again.

Just in time, a carriage rushed over, his eyes lit up, he thought it was Lord Hou who had returned, but when he was about to greet him, he found that it was not his carriage at all.

He guessed who was coming to see him, so he thought about sending them away quickly, but the carriage stopped, and it was a girl in purple who jumped out.

The girl looked sixteen or seventeen years old, and she was pretty, but her eyes were red and swollen from crying for some reason, her hair was disheveled, and she was a little embarrassed.

The butler always looked familiar, and when he wanted to ask a few words, the driver who drove the car said first: "Girl, you haven't paid the fare yet, ten cents!"

The girl in purple was looking up at the plaque of the Hou's Mansion, and she was annoyed when she heard this. She pulled a hairpin from her head and threw it over, "Go away, miss!"

The coachman took the hairpin, just glanced at it, and drove the car with his whip, running wildly without a trace.

The corner of the butler's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

That's a golden hairpin inlaid with red treasures, not counting the materials, but the labor cost for making it is only ten taels of silver.

This girl just threw it to someone else, it's really... too prodigal!

In the future, it will be really unlucky for anyone to marry this girl.

In the end, the girl looked at it for a while, then turned to look at him and said, "Where is your Marquis, let him come out, I want to ask him, why didn't he marry me?"

The butler's feet were weak, and he almost fell down the steps!

This prodigal girl actually wants to enter the Marquis Mansion? !

He stabilized his mind, looked at the girl carefully again, and finally remembered that this is the prostitute daughter of the second room of the Jiangning Hou Mansion, the queen's cousin!

Today, just as the Jiangning Marquis received the marriage proposal, this girl came here to make a fuss? !

If someone who doesn't understand sees it, they will think that Master Hou has an affair with this girl, and he will abandon it in the end!

He complained wildly in his heart, his face was not good-looking, and he said loudly: "Miss Wu, don't be joking! Our Marquis has been fighting outside, I am afraid that we don't know you, why are you talking about whether to marry or not! Besides, you today You have just been granted a marriage, so hurry home and prepare for marriage!"

A embarrassed girl stood in front of the gate of the Hou's Mansion, confronting the chief steward of the Hou's Mansion. This scene is definitely not common, and it has already attracted scattered passers-by to sneak a look.

The butler deliberately made his words clearer, hoping that Miss Wu's family would retreat in spite of difficulties.

It's a pity that Miss Wu doesn't appreciate it at all.

She raised the corner of her skirt and was about to rush into the Hou's mansion, "I want to see Lord Hou, why didn't he marry me, what's wrong with me?"

The butler was furious, this girl can't understand human words!

He quickly stopped her, but he didn't dare to pull the girl, so he was very passive for a while.

At this time, Lord Hou finally came back.

As soon as the door of the carriage opened, Lord Hou jumped down first, followed by Second Li.

Hou Ye frowned tightly, and Li's second son also had a bad face.

The world has always only seen victory, but they don't know the price behind these two words.

Going out once, even though Lord Hou had planned it carefully, and even took the lead in every battle, and rushed to the front, there were still casualties in the army.

During the whole day, they visited all the wounded soldiers, recorded their names in the register, and selected those who could be sent to Suijintan.

Although this news, Hou Ye let someone tell it in the wounded barracks a few days ago, hoping that the wounded soldiers could have a little hope of surviving.

However, there are still people who are trying to find a way to die these days.

Some were saved, others...successful.

Among these wounded soldiers, some have parents and family members, who are given more pensions and can return to their hometowns to marry wives and have children. At least they have something to rely on and a way out.

But more people have no family members, or those who have family members are unwilling to raise another burden.

Xu Shi knew this, and they chose to end their lives with their own hands.

In their minds, dying with dignity is better than begging on the street and dying in a stinking ditch...

Li Laoer was also in a heavy heart. He really wanted to bring all the wounded soldiers back to Suijintan, but it couldn't be done.

The livelihood of so many people must be discussed with the family.

Otherwise, even if the village is willing to take care of them, these wounded soldiers are not willing to be trash who can only eat and sleep every day!

He vaguely felt that his little niece might have a solution to this matter. When he returns home tomorrow, he should ask his little niece first...
