BXBX NOVEL Chapter 487: how did she come back
"Miss, are we going back home?" Xinyue looked at Zhou Xiangrong who was still looking at the palace and asked softly.
Zhou Xiangrong regained his composure and said with frowned: "Go home."
"yes."
Xin Yue helped Zhou Xiangrong back to the carriage, and signaled the driver to take them to Bo'anhou Mansion.
The house of the Marquis of Bo’an was a relatively long distance from the center of the imperial city, and it took more than an hour for the carriage to arrive.
Although the gate of Bo'an Hou's Mansion does not look desolate, but the two discolored stone lions outside the gate can tell that they have already belonged to the bottom of the family.
Outside the door, a guard was leaning lazily on the door frame. He was a little surprised when he saw Zhou Xiangrong came back, and stepped forward to ask without any rules, "Why is Missy back?"
The disrespectful attitude of the guard made Xinyue feel ashamed, "Presumptuous, you are still rude when you meet the eldest lady."
The guard laughed sarcastically, who didn't know that the eldest lady was not favored, and was sent to the temple outside the city by the eldest lady earlier on the grounds of her life. The eldest lady said that without her order, the eldest lady would not Go home privately.
"Miss forgive me, but the younger one hasn't received orders from her, so I can't let her in."
"You, you are so deceptive!"
The guards followed and ignored the helpless master and servant.
"Xinyue doesn't need to argue with him, we can just wait by the side." Zhou Xiangrong walked back to the side of the carriage with an apologetic expression on his face, "I'm sorry to the big brothers of the imperial army, something happened at the house, my little girl is afraid I won't be able to go back for a while, why don't you guys go back and return your life to the empress first, the little girl waits for her father to come back, and then begs her father to let the little girl go back to the mansion."
Zhou Xiangrong's voice was very soft when speaking, and there were tears in his almond eyes, I really feel sorry for him.
Su Ying asked the Imperial Army to send Zhou Xiangrong back to the Bo'anhou Mansion. Now that she is still outside, they are not considered to have completed the task. In addition, they heard her conversation with the guard just now, and they felt pity.
Zhou Xiangrong is a great hero who cured the epidemic, and the empress will definitely reward her when she turns back. This Bo'anhou Mansion really has the guts to treat the hero of Chu State so harshly.
"Miss Zhou, don't worry, the lady said, we have to wait until Miss Zhou enters the mansion before leaving. Miss Zhou has to wait for Marquis Bo'an, so let's wait in the carriage. When she returns, we will inform Miss Zhou .”
Zhou Xiangrong expressed gratitude, "Thank you so much, Brothers of the Forbidden Army."
Xin Yue supported Zhou Xiangrong back to the carriage and waited for Bo Anhou's return.
In her memory, her cheap father would return to the house for dinner every day at noon, and now it seems that the time is almost the same.
Sure enough, after waiting for too long, a carriage stopped outside the gate of Hou's Mansion, and a middle-aged man in a navy blue robe got out of the carriage. This person was Bo'anhou's Mansion.
The forbidden army is very familiar with officials from big and small families in Beijing, and when they see people coming back, they will step forward and stop them.
"Marquis Bo'an."
Zhou Pei stopped and looked back in doubt, seeing that the opponent was the imperial army, he couldn't help becoming nervous, "Everyone, this is..."
Zhou Xiangrong got off the carriage.
When Zhou Pei saw it, he started to have infinite associations, "What did this rebellious girl do? Well, your Zhou Xiangrong, my father asked you to go to the temple outside the city to reflect on your mistakes, and you dare to cause trouble for your father. Don't blame her, if you want to punish her, just take her away." This attitude means that she doesn't care about the daughter's life or death at all.
Seeing Zhou Pei's attitude, the imperial guards felt even more sympathetic to Zhou Xiangrong, "Your Majesty misunderstood, this time the Los Angeles plague was cured by Miss Zhou, Miss Zhou just returned to Beijing with the queen today, and the empress said that there will be a meeting on a different day. Reward Miss Zhou well, but I don’t know why Miss Zhou was not allowed to enter the house when she returned home, and the servants can only wait here to find out.”
Zhou Pei was shocked, looking at Zhou Xiangrong with eyes full of astonishment, thinking he had heard it wrong, "What did you say? She cured the plague? Really?"
The forbidden army said firmly: "Master Hou thinks that the empress will joke with you? The empress ordered me to send Miss Zhou back. Since Lord Hou is back, please bring Miss Zhou back to the mansion."
The Imperial Army felt that what he had said was clear enough, and he couldn't control any more. As long as Zhou Pei still had some brains, it would be impossible to stop Zhou Xiangrong from the door.
Zhou Pei is indeed not stupid, his expression changed, and he turned into a loving father in a blink of an eye, and said to Zhou Xiangrong with emotion, "As expected, he is a good boy of father, he did not disappoint father, thank you guys, why don't you come over and have a drink?" Tea break?"
"I'll go back and return to my mother, so I'm leaving."
After the imperial army left, Zhou Pei looked carefully at Zhou Xiangrong, the daughter he had never opened his eyes, and asked him to come in with him.
Zhou Pei came back, so the guards naturally didn't dare to stop him.
"What the guards said just now is true? When did you go to Los Angeles?"
Zhou Pei is an idiot, otherwise he wouldn't have been the head of the sixth-rank criminal department all these years. After Zhou Xiangrong's biological mother died of blood collapse in childbirth, he immediately married his stepwife An Shi and came back the next year, and Zhou Xiangrong was also directly thrown into An Shi's upbringing.
An Shi doesn't like Zhou Xiangrong, she makes Zhou Xiangrong timid and cowardly in front of her and behind her back, just like a maid in the upper part of the table, she also shrinks when she rarely sees Zhou Pei, so Zhou Pei doesn't like this daughter.
A while ago, he got sick for no reason and the doctor didn't think well. A fortune teller said that someone in the house beat him, and it was calculated that the person who beat him was Zhou Xiangrong, so An suggested that Zhou Xiangrong be sent to live in a village outside the city. .
Just a few days after Zhou Xiangrong left, he recovered from his illness, which also made him believe that Zhou Xiangrong really beat him. After she was thrown outside the city, he never asked about her again, and he didn't even know about her leaving.
Zhou Xiangrong lowered his eyes and said in a cold voice, "Every year I go to worship my mother, but my father probably doesn't know about it."
Zhou Pei really doesn't know. After all, he never cared about her life or death. If Qing Yihou hadn't come to remind the two families of their marriage at the beginning of the year, he would have completely forgotten about her daughter.
In the backyard of the Zhou family, the servant girl who sent the message hurried into the inner hall and told Mrs. Hou the news that Zhou Xiangrong and Zhou Pei entered the mansion together.
An Shi leaned on the soft couch, and frowned a pair of slender brows, "Why is she back?"
"Ma'am, I heard that the eldest lady was sent back by the imperial army, but I don't know exactly why."
"Forbidden Army?" An's first thought was that Zhou Xiangrong had caused a catastrophe, otherwise why would the Forbidden Army **** her back to Bo'anhou Mansion?
A gloomy look flashed in An's eyes, just in time to take advantage of this matter to solve her completely!
