Chapter 94 Turn 06(1/2)

When he left, Cheng Yunzhi returned to a smile. After returning, his face was full of peace and contentment. He spoke with Lin Huai and his grudges disappeared. No matter how dull Huo Weilou was, he could see that the two had reached a certain consensus. His hand fell on the arm of the chair, his knuckles rubbed the black jade ring, his expression was dim and difficult to see, and his eyes swept across Bo Ruoyou from time to time.

Bo Ruoyou sat in the last position, with a tall back and gentle eyebrows, but only Huo Weilou saw that her hands were holding her in front of him were very tightly. He had not relaxed for a while, and his eyes became dark again.

Lin Huai ordered Chu Shuning to prepare a banquet to entertain Cheng Yunzhi and Bo Ruoyou. Huo Weilou got up from the main seat at this moment, "I still have official duties, so I will not stay. What you said in the morning is that you will have actions in the past two days."

Lin Huai stood up and responded, and said, "What else is the matter with the Marquis? It's getting late now, so why not leave a meal? It's said that the Marquis and their father and daughter are quite destined to be together. If the Marquis hadn't appreciated Youyou, we wouldn't have met in Luozhou as early as possible."

Cheng Yunzhi also said: "The Marquis has the grace of saving Youyou--"

Huo Weilou bent his lips, "It's just a little effort, I won't keep it today. You old friends in the past year, this marquis is here, and you have some restraints."

Since he wanted to leave, no one could keep it. Lin Huai took Lin Zhao to see him off, but Bo Ruoyou had no reason to follow him. When Huo Weilou left, he didn't even look at her, which made her heart sink to the bottom.

Cheng Yunzhi sighed, "I didn't expect that the Marquis was here too. He said he was indeed destined to be with him."

When he turned his eyes, Cheng Yunzhi saw that Bo Ruo's face was light and his eyes were covered with smoke and mist, as if he was worried.

"Youyou, did you not expect to come to Lin Mansion?" Cheng Yunzhi asked gently.

Bo Ruoyou came back to her senses and thought of what Huo Weilou said about getting married. He wanted to ask immediately, but now there is so much inconvenience in Lin's mansion. She just said, "I didn't expect that what did the adoptive father say to Uncle Lin just now?"

Cheng Yunzhi smiled: "It's nothing, it's just some old things, some misunderstandings. Now it's clear that your Uncle Lin is not an unknown person. Today, they will take you to the house to pay homage, and they will take care of you in the future."

Bo Ruoyou wanted to speak but stopped, but Lin Huai and Lin Zhao came back soon, so she had to swallow what she wanted to say.

Next, the old friends reminisce about the past and have a great conversation. Bo Ruoyou sits in the last place with his eyes closed. She answers only when she asks her. Cheng Yunzhi saw that she was a little inappropriate, but Lin Huai was not aware of anything. She just thought she was gentle and quiet. When it was time to eat, Chu Shuning was also quite enthusiastic about Bo Ruoyou, and she smiled a little more.

Lin Zhao's eyes fell on Bo Ruoyou for a long time, but he couldn't do anything in front of his elders. After the meal, Cheng Yunzhi saw that Bo Ruoyou was really quiet, so he quickly said goodbye.

Lin Zhao said he wanted to send them home, but he really wanted to send them away. Cheng Yunzhi refused, and he was happy to see this, so he responded. Bo Ruoyou couldn't and walked all the way in the carriage. When he arrived at Cheng's house, Lin Zhao had not entered the mansion. When he left, Bo Ruoyou showed a little solemn expression.

"Entertainment father, I went to Lin's house today, but for my daughter? You have already made arrangements for my daughter's marriage. Can you say that Mr. Lin?" Bo Ruoyou presented tea to Cheng Yunzhi and asked straight to the point.

Cheng Yunzhi was stunned. He never expected that Bo Ruoyou already knew, "Youyou, how did you guess?"

Bo Ruoyou shook his head and said nothing in detail, but just asked: "Did the adoptive father ask Uncle Lin to terminate the engagement between Mr. Lin and my cousin and then get engaged to me?"

Cheng Yunzhi put down the teacup and said, "Youyou, that's your marriage. If it were another family, it would be just a matter of Bo's family. I can't ignore it. I won't mention the matter back then. Even your marriage will be snatched. How can they be your elders?"

At this point, Cheng Yunzhi's tone was a little painful, "I didn't want to tell you so early that this marriage was yours, but now it's hard to get along with the Bo family. It's really annoying, but since you know it, it's okay to tell you. This was a fifteen years ago, when you were only two years old, your father and mother and Lin Huai stopped. Although you didn't write a serious marriage letter at that time, everyone who is close friends knows this doll marriage."

"This is the wish of your father and mother. I will bring it back for you, whether it is for them or for you. You and I have been away from Beijing for many years. Lin Zhaoruo has changed the marriage of others, and I don't want to fight for it. But Bo's family is the one who knows the best of this marriage. Over the years, they don't care about you, and now they have no explanation. They have just replaced you so clearly."

"Do you know how rumors spread outside when I ordered Zhou Liang to go and inquire? They said that this marriage was decided by your cousin when he was born, saying that the eldest girl of the Bo family and Lin Zhao were childhood sweethearts, and that the old man of the Lin family liked the eldest lady of the Bo family back then was ridiculous. It was obvious that he stole your things, but he still had to make up these words. They really felt that your parents died, and you, a little girl, could not fight against it, whether they were dead or alive, good or bad. How could I bear it? "

Cheng Yunzhi sighed again, "The adoptive father is in his twilight years. Now he is returning to Beijing. There are not many old friends who can speak. No one in the Bo family decides for you. The adoptive father really doesn't know who you are old and has passed away. Who will you rely on in the future? I have explored Lin Zhao's reputation and knows that he is the best among the children of aristocratic families in the young area. The Lin family is honest and upright. If you marry, they will treat you well for your parents' sake. This is the only thing your adoptive father can do for you."

Bo Ruoyou's eyes were slightly red, and he couldn't help but squat down to beat Cheng Yunzhi's legs. Cheng Yunzhi had leg problems and was not in good health. She couldn't hear what he said about death, "Don't say this. For the sake of his daughter's goodness, his daughter understands that his father must live a hundred years of life. No matter who his daughter will marry, his father must look at his daughter."

Cheng Yunzhi brushed the hair and said, "But his adoptive father can see that you don't like this marriage. You are not very interested in the Lin Mansion. You are silent all the way back. Now I'm not happy to ask me like this, right?"

Bo Ruoyou bent his lips, "The Lin family is indeed a good marriage. If his daughter can marry into the Lin family, it is probably a comfortable and comfortable life among ordinary women. However, his adoptive father, Mr. Lin, and my cousin have been engaged for many years. Their friendship for more than ten years is beyond my comparison. Now that he has rashly changed his engagement, my cousin will not say anything. Will Mr. Lin be happy? If he is not happy, would I be in a difficult situation after marrying me?"

Cheng Yunzhi frowned, and Bo Ruoyou said softly: "Although the marriage of children is the order of the parents and the matchmaker, my daughter heard from Aunt Liang that, both my father and mother, and my adoptive father and mother, had friendship first, and then they got married after three matchmakers and six. My daughter had never thought about marriage before, but now her daughter thinks that no matter who she married, at least she must have some friendship, trustworthy and trustworthy, and what does her adoptive father think?"

Cheng Yunzhi felt a little sad when he heard this, "Of course this is the best. After all, the adoptive father wanted to find someone who is worthy of your life. You and Lin Zhao are old acquaintances. Today, I think Lin Zhao treats you quite kindly. Judging from his temperament, he is also a young and promising person. The adoptive father thinks that this is the best choice. If your parents are here, and with your father's talent and knowledge, I am not so worried, but you have no support, and the adoptive father can only find the most secure person for you."

Bo Ruoyou squatted beside Cheng Yunzhi. Hearing this, he felt a little sad. After thinking about it, he said, "Mr. Lin is indeed very good, but his daughter has no desire to admire him. Moreover, his daughter thinks that we have been away from Beijing for many years, and even if the Lin family is a marriage for Bo, he will also decide on girls from another family. Mr. Lin doesn't know what happened that year, and he has no objection to getting engaged with the Bo family for so many years. I think he is satisfied with this marriage. The adoptive father is resentful to the Bo family's eldest son, but he is just angry that they are not open and honest enough. Today, the adoptive father will explain the matter that year. Uncle Lin should know that the Bo family used some scheming to the Bo family, and his daughter thinks that this is enough."

Cheng Yunzhi frowned, "But your Uncle Lin has agreed to let the big house know clearly and return the marriage."

Bo Ruoyou had already expected it, and said obediently: "Uncle Lin hasn't asked Mr. Lin yet, now it's just because of guilt. This is the first point, and the second point is that my daughter has no thoughts about Mr. Lin now. If she asks her daughter to make a engagement with him, it will make her daughter embarrassed, and her daughter doesn't want to do this."

Cheng Yunzhi asked, "There is no friendship right now, but how about spending more time together?"

Bo Ruoyou shook his head, not knowing what he thought of, and there was a little warmth on her cheeks. She whispered: "Although Mr. Lin is good, she is not the one who her daughter likes."

When Cheng Yunzhi heard this, he immediately became alert and confused in his eyes, "Do you have someone you like in your heart now?"

Bo Ruoyou's expression was slightly tight and hesitant. Cheng Yunyi sat upright, "You...there are so many men coming and going around you that can count it with one hand. The person you like is... Wu Zhaohou?!"

Cheng Yunzhi guessed it instantly.

But Bo Ruoyou's reaction did not disappoint him. Her face quickly turned glowing. The person who had always been generous was shy at this moment. Cheng Yunzhi's face became serious. "I felt something was wrong when you were recuperating in the Hou's Mansion. I was a little afraid at that time, for fear that Wu Zhao would have thought of you. Then I was anxious to inquire about the Lin family, but you..."

"What did Wu Zhaohou say and do what did you do?"

Bo Ruoyou shook his head, "No, no, don't worry about the adoptive father--"

Bo Ruoyou's cheeks were flushed and he didn't dare to look at Cheng Yunzhi's eyes, but this matter was quite a bit serious. If he hadn't explained it earlier, he would have been anxious. She calmed down and forced herself to look at him, "Enjoyed father, the marquis did reveal his intention to treat his daughter differently, but this was not important. If the daughter liked anyone, her daughter really admired the marquis. Although it was nothing, how could she get engaged to others with such thoughts?"

Cheng Yunzhi shook his body, "If you say this, that's true-"

Bo Ruoyou was embarrassed and embarrassed, but still looked firm, "You know, my daughter never said anything to you. If she didn't speak, she wouldn't lie to you. If she spoke to you, she wouldn't lie to you. You understand your daughter's good daughter, and your daughter also knows your considerations. Therefore, my daughter dare not hide it from her adoptive father. She only hopes that her adoptive father understands her daughter's thoughts and does not need to fight for anything for her. My daughter feels very uncomfortable when she sees you climbing the Lin Mansion for your own sake."

"Today in Lin's house, Uncle Lin has been talking about fate, but his daughter has been away from Beijing for many years and his marriage has changed. This is mostly because his daughter has a very short relationship with the Lin family. However, the Marquis saved his daughter several times and said that he is more destined to be with the Marquis."

It was hard for my daughter to open my mind, and it was the first time Cheng Yunzhi heard Bo Ruoyou's words so calmly. He was surprised at first, and then he was a little happy to see his daughter growing up. But he thought that the Lin family's marriage was the safest, and Huo Weilou was in a high position and powerful position. If he really liked Huo Weilou, he would embark on the road of uncertainty, and his heart was thrilled again.

"Of course, the adoptive father will not force you, but the adoptive father will tell you the pros and cons, so as not to change in the future, and it will be too late to regret it. Wu Zhaohou treats you... it is indeed a different person, but he is a young man and a cunning person. Not to mention you, even Lin Huai is not his opponent. If he deceives you..."

Bo Ruoyou shook his head, "Enjoyed father, my daughter is not a marquis now. The daughter you think of also understands that you have to make a long-term plan for this matter. It's just that the Lin family's marriage, the daughter doesn't want to argue anymore. If it makes a fuss, it will also make you and Uncle Lin embarrassed. This is what my daughter wants to tell you. What do you think?"

Cheng Yunzhi had already left the Lin family behind, and there was only one thought in his heart, whether Huo Weilou used some means to deceive his good daughter!

"Youyou, do you know how difficult it is to be in the deep house of the Marquis?"

Bo Ruoyou had already realized Cheng Yun's many worries, but she seemed to have decided to pay attention, "Enjoyed father, what you said about your daughter is just that, the Marquis is not those who are busy with Qin and Chu, and the second is that the daughter just has such admiration, not what to think about. Now there is no need to force the Lin family's marriage. As for where the daughter will be in the future, just look at it."

Cheng Yunzhi said bitterly: "But if you abandon the Lin family and want to find a marriage like the Lin family in the future, there will be no more. What should you do then?"

Bo Ruoyou tilted his head and thought, "After making his own choice, he can bear all the cause and effect. Don't worry."

Cheng Yunzhi did not agree immediately, but lowered his eyes and pondered. Bo Ruoyou did not urge him, but just carefully beat his legs. After a while, Cheng Yunzhi looked at Bo Ruoyou's well-behaved look and felt soft-hearted, "Have you really thought about it?"

Bo Ruoyou nodded, and Cheng Yunzhi sighed, "Then... I will send it to the Lin family with a letter. Let's see how Lin Huai is. If you don't want this marriage, you will have less clues, just..."

"Wu Zhaohou is an extraordinary person, you may see how sincere he is to you? He is from a noble family and now he covers the sky with his hands in the court. When he gets his heart, you will be thousands of honors. But if one day he doesn't get his heart, you will have no way out. Youyou, your adoptive father doesn't want you to marry into such a family."

Bo Ruoyou comforted, "The adopted father thought about his daughter, but you know her daughter's temperament. She will not obey your arrangements because of filial piety, and will not let anyone take care of anyone because of admiration. If her daughter does not have such ambition, how can she still be a coroner today? Her daughter is stupid and does not know how to see through people's hearts, but her daughter thinks that it will be impossible to be slow in everything, so her daughter is not in a hurry to get married, and she will not obey everything to the marquis and daughter."

Seeing that her eyes were gentle but tough, and her tone was not anxious or slow, Cheng Yunzhi knew that she had an idea in her heart, "Youyou grew up, and her adoptive father can't do so much for you, but he will never force you to do things you don't want. Forget it, I'll go to study the book now, and I'm too lazy to see him again. After reading the letter, he will understand."

Bo Ruoyou stood up and helped Cheng Yunzhi up, went to the study room, and then polished ink for him personally. Cheng Yunzhi breathed out and wrote two big pictures, folded them again, preparing to ask Zhou Liang to send the letter, but Bo Ruoyou said, "It's better for my daughter to send it."

Cheng Yunzhi was a little puzzled, but it was okay for her to go out. Bo Ruoyou took the letter and went out. He took the carriage to Lin's mansion first, handed the letter to the doorman, and then turned back. However, before he took a few steps, Bo Ruoyou opened the curtain and said, "Uncle Liang, go to Wuzhaohou Mansion first."

Zhou Liang was slightly surprised, but Bo Ruoyou made a gesture of silence, "I don't ask what my adoptive father asked Uncle Liang to do, and Uncle Liang can't tell him what I asked you to do, okay?"

Zhou Liang looked embarrassed and coughed lightly to drive to Wu Zhaohou Mansion.

It was dusk now, and Bo Ruoyou said, "I will come out with half a stick of incense. Uncle Liang is here to wait for me."

Zhou Liang responded and saw Bo Ruoyou walking towards the Hou Mansion with graceful steps, he felt that Bo Ruoyou today had a sense of calmness and stability, and he looked like a little master.

...

Huo Weilou felt unhappy when he left Lin's mansion. As soon as he returned to his mansion, he ordered Eunuch Fu to investigate which family in the capital had an accident more than ten years ago. It took only half a day to find out what he wanted.

Eunuch Fu entered the study with a letter. It was already sunset and the light in the study was dim. Huo Weilou sat behind the desk, and there was a sense of being away from the stranger. He was obviously frustrated.

Eunuch Fu handed over the letter, "Mr. Marquis, I found out clearly. The old slave realized that Mr. Cheng was familiar with that day. It turned out that the old slave had really seen him."

Huo Weilou slowly went to read the letter and heard it, "Where have you seen it?"

Eunuch Fu said, "I have seen it in the palace."

Huo Weilou had opened the letter, looked at it and frowned, "Imperial Doctor Cheng Family?"

Eunuch Fu nodded, "His father was the former chief of the Imperial Hospital. Now the father of the Ming son, who is a fellow disciple of the same school. In the Huifei case thirteen years ago, Mr. Cheng's father used the wrong prescription. Therefore, the Cheng family was confiscated and Mr. Cheng's father was sentenced to beheading. Mr. Cheng himself had already entered the Imperial Hospital, but had been demoted. Not only that, descendants of the Cheng family could no longer enter the palace to practice medicine, nor could they obtain any official position."

Thirteen years ago, Huo Weilou was only ten years old, but he had a memory of the Huifei case that Eunuch Fu mentioned. Thirteen years ago, Concubine Hui was pregnant and waiting for childbirth, but died of a bloody night. The baby boy she gave birth was also stillborn. Later, it was discovered that the palace servant in the palace had poisoned him. The Imperial Hospital was also implicated because he had used the wrong prescription to treat it effectively.

Huo Weilou still remembers this case because Empress Xu's mother was involved in that year. The entire harem was in turmoil, and Emperor Jianhe almost deposed the queen. This case involved nearly a hundred people inside and outside the palace, and the Imperial Hospital was just one of them. Therefore, he had no impression of the Cheng family, but he did not expect that Cheng Yunzhi was born like this and involved in the case of the royal family. No wonder he left Beijing to avoid disaster.

"I vaguely remember that at that time, the old slave often accompanied His Highness to the inner palace to and from the eldest princess. He ran into Mr. Cheng. At that time, Mr. Cheng was only in his early twenties and thought he had been married shortly after his father was still in power. Because his father was still in power, he was just an ordinary imperial physician. After his father had an accident, the entire Cheng family also disbanded. But the case was investigated for a long time later. I thought it was because I was afraid of being involved again, so I left Beijing directly."

Huo Weilou frowned slightly, "No wonder he is an old acquaintance with Lin Huai."

Eunuch Fu had asked the attendant who followed Huo Weilou. Knowing that Huo Weilou's anger was obtained from the Lin family today, he asked tentatively: "Did their father and daughter go to the Lin family today? Is it for that marriage?"

Huo Weilou folded the letter and frowned again. Eunuch Fu sighed, "Mr. Marquis, I have said a long time ago that this matter is not easy. You have a long way to go. Besides, there are so many complicated things to get married. It is even more difficult for two people to live together."

"I know." Huo Weilou's tone became colder, "No one knows better than me."

Eunuch Fu's expression changed slightly, and he quickly turned his words, "However, the Marquis doesn't have to think about it as difficult as it is. Youyou's temperament is very clear with your eyesight. But you have always been the same. Youyou's follow you and make your job satisfied. But now you are not asking her to be your subordinate, and you can't treat her with the past. If she goes with you, she can't reveal her true heart in front of you, how unfair it is to her? How frustrating is it?"

Huo Weilou frowned even more. Of course, he had never treated her with his previous thoughts. He had never tried every means to consider her. She thought he was self-righteous, but she had already followed her adoptive father to the Lin Mansion to get the marriage back. Could it be that he would let her go?

Huo Weilou became more and more annoyed the more he thought about it. He was so arrogant that he had never been so humiliated? If he couldn't even control the person he liked and watched her get along with others, what's the use of his power to splash?

But Father Fu is right. He didn't let Bo Ruoyou be her subordinate, and he couldn't use that kind of decisive method in this matter.

Huo Weilou exhaled, looked at the sky outside, thinking that it was already this time, Cheng Yunzhi and Bo Ruoyou must have left the Lin Mansion, so he ordered: "Go and pick her up."

Eunuch Fu responded and turned around and went out, but as soon as he went out, he heard him exclaiming, "Youyou?!"

Huo Weilou frowned, and his first thought was that it was impossible.

However, the next moment, he saw a beautiful figure entering the study door. Huo Weilou was stunned and was a little disbelief. He hadn't asked her to pick her up, and never saw her appear on his own?

"Greetings to the Marquis." Bo Ruoyou bowed, with a faint smile on his face.

Huo Weilou looked at her. Before he could come back to his senses, he thought that he was still angry, and his tone became a little cold, "What's the matter with the mansion?"
To be continued...
