In the side hall of the Duke's Mansion, Lin sat stiffly on the chair, hugged his ten-year-old daughter in his arms, and touched his pale face. Lin said softly: "Don't be afraid of An An. When you meet someone later, you salute your mother. Unless someone asks you, you don't need to say anything, just stay by your mother's side."

Song Jianing nodded in disguise, leaned against his mother's shoulder, and Yu Guang secretly glanced at the majestic and majestic decorations around him. He was favored for seven years, and Guo Xiao never mentioned taking her back to the house. Song Jianing didn't care, but Madam Li was afraid that she would be sad, so she said that there were many rules in the Duke's Mansion, so it was better to live in Xiaoyao and freely in the village, saying that Guo Xiao didn't want her to be wronged.

Song Jianing didn't believe it, and there were three guesses in his heart. One was that the female family in the Duke's Mansion did not like her, who was stolen by Guo Xiao, and the other was that Guo Xiao felt that she was not worthy of entering the Duke's Mansion, which symbolized power and holy favor. The last one was that Guo Xiao didn't want his princess cousin to be sad. If the concubine was kept outside, Princess Duanhui would probably feel better.

But now, she was forced to "invite" over by Guo Xiao's father.

It seemed like she was dreaming that she just persuaded her mother to take care of herself. A few words caused such a big change?

She had something to do, and Lin unconsciously stroked her daughter's back, her eyes facing the ground. Now that she has no way out, she has to prepare for her future life in the Duke's Mansion. Her aunt has no status, and being a Duke's wife does not mean she can rest assured. What will the women in the mansion think of her? Will the maids disobey?

"Madam, girl, our grandmother invites you over."

Upon hearing this, Song Jianing nervously held her mother's hand. The grandmother must be with the princess now. If something happened to her father, how could Guo Xiao not be filial? To be honest, Guo Xiao is indeed pampering with her enough. He will give her any delicious food and fun to the village. After he finishes his errands, he will accompany her to travel around, but Guo Xiao's pampering is even more reflected in his passion for sex. So, in the previous life, Guo Xiao was able to take a fancy to her body and get her from Liang Shao regardless of relatives. Who can guarantee that he will not use tricks in this life?

The meat is still the same piece of meat, neither lean nor ugly, and the wolf is still the same wolf. The only change is that everyone is several years younger than when they first met...

When her heart moved, Song Jianing lowered her head and looked at her flat clothes. She suddenly became less afraid. She was ten years old, just a little girl who had not grown up. No matter how lustful Guo Xiao is, she could not have such thoughts about her at this time, right? As far as Song Jianing knows, Guo Xiao did not have the habit of playing with children.

After understanding this, Song Jianing finally dared to lift his head and walk.

The maid led the way in front, and the mother and the two turned along the corridor and soon arrived at Zhenghetang. Song Jianing quickly looked around for a while, and there was no Guo Xiao in the yard. When he arrived in front of the door, he took a quick look inside. There was only Guo Boyan and a kind-hearted and beautiful old woman in her fifties, so she was naturally the lady.

"The civilian woman has met the grandpa and the prince." Standing in front of the hall, Lin let go of her daughter's hand and gave a blessing to the grandpa who could not make any mistakes. Song Jianing next to her followed suit, but Lin's figure was slender and delicate, as tall as a green lotus. Song Jianing was short and round, and his every move revealed a bit of a childish childish childishness.

Guo Boyan's eyes swept across the woman he liked and his lovely prospective daughter one after another, and slowly turned to his mother.

The lady looked at Lin several times, then glanced at her son, and then said politely: "The Duke of the State was attacked on the road, and in desperation, he hit you mother and daughter. This is my wish. When you go back, you can buy some delicious food to suppress your child's surprise."

My own maid brought a bulging purse.

Lin did not look at the purse, so he took two steps back and declined: "The Duke of the State is a hero of the court. It is the honor of the civilian women to be able to help. The Grand Lady is kindly rewarded, but the civilian women are ashamed of it, so the money must not be collected."

The lady laughed and said, "That's right, but you have helped us a lot, so we have to thank you no matter how hard we have."

Lin looked up, looked at the lady's wife, and said a little embarrassedly: "The lady really wants to thank you. The civilian woman begged the lady to tell the mansion's manager and ask him to return my carriage. If something happened so big, the civilian woman wanted to go home early to avoid worrying about her family."

In the solemn hall, a pleasant chuckle suddenly came.

Lin pursed her lips.

The grandmother glared at her son, but Guo Boyan didn't care. She touched her chin with her complete right hand and stared at Lin without any concealment.

The lady was irritated. Since Lin was leaving, she asked the maid to take her mother out.

"Mom, look at this fairy, not only is she good-looking, but she is also good at speaking, which is to my taste."

The only mother and son were left in the hall. The eldest lady scolded angrily: "I don't think that they are all mothers? Could it be that you want to force the robbery of the civilian wife?"

Guo Boyan leaned against the back of the chair and looked out the door frivolously: "Since Huiyuan said she could benefit me, I will make up for her. Don't worry, I will send someone to lobby her husband and propose marriage when they leave me."

The lady frowned. Just now, Lin entered the door and found that Lin really looked like the fairy-soo in the Heavenly Palace, which was the most beautiful thing she had seen in this life. The lady immediately suspected that her son's words were nonsense, but she also understood her own son. If there was no special reason, her son would definitely not be the one who broke up for the sake of the best.

It seems that Master Huiyuan really looked at his son's face? But even if Lin is his son's destiny, his son cannot bully others with his power.

"No, you..."

The grandmother wanted to reason with her son, but Guo Boyan suddenly stood up and said seriously: "Mom, the news should have reached the palace. I have to face the saint to report this matter. Those next to me will discuss it when I come back."

It is important to capture the assassin, and the lady can only let her son go.

Guo Boyan entered the palace with wind and as soon as he entered Chongzheng Hall, he immediately knelt down to Emperor Xuande who had been waiting for a long time, and lowered his head and said, "I am guilty of my crime, please punish me."

An assassin appeared at the foot of the emperor, and his right-hand man was still murdering him. Emperor Xuande had already fired at the commander of the imperial guards. When he heard that Guo Boyan had come, he had made up all the words of comfort, but he did not expect that Guo Boyan would come like this. Leaving the dragon throne, Emperor Xuande walked to Guo Boyan and said in confusion: "What are you guilty of?"

Guo Boyan lowered his head and called on all the causes and consequences of his hypothesis: "Emperor, if you don't make this bad decision, the Grandma would never agree to marry a widow from a business family as a official family, and I have no choice. I am alarmed, my crimes are unforgivable, and the Emperor will punish him anyway. I just want the Emperor to keep it a secret for me and don't let the Grandma know."

Emperor Xuande looked at his confidant kneeling on the ground and didn't say anything for a long time. After a long time, he turned around and slowly sat back on the dragon throne, and said happily and anger: "My family is so beautiful, let my beloved Fei be so blessed?"

Lin's look curled up on the ground and sobbed in despair. Guo Boyan said half-truely: "Although beautiful, I have never seen any kind of beauty? At first, I just wanted to take her as a concubine, but she would rather die than obey. I was not willing to do something that the overlord was forced to take the blame, and I was unwilling to be persuaded to leave after a few words, so I had to agree to marry her."

He didn't dare to praise Lin too beautifully. What if the emperor was interested? Men are lustful, and the emperor is no exception.

Emperor Xuande had many concubines in the harem, and he was not so lustful that he even thought of the widow he loved. He said unhappily: "For the sake of your contribution to the southern tour, I will not pursue the matter this time, but I will not be an example. If I dare to make trouble again, I will transfer you to the military camp and will not be allowed to touch a woman for three years."

Guo Boyan said loudly: "I am obeying the emperor's teachings."

Emperor Xuande opened the memorial and said lightly: "You attracted the assassin. You will be limited to arresting all assassins before dark."

Guo Boyan laughed and took the order away. Emperor Xuande glanced at the back of his ministers and shook his head helplessly. Guo Boyan had a high position and was powerful. After losing his wife, many people wanted to become relatives with the Duke's Mansion and frequently curry favor with him. Out of selfishness, Emperor Xuande hoped that Guo Boyan would marry a low-level reunion, but he did not expect that Guo Boyan's second wife would have such a low status.

~

Assassins appeared near the suburbs of the capital. Guo Boyan personally led people to chase and killed them. After an hour, he captured more than a dozen "strong martial arts assassins" back to the city and handed them over to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation. The people applauded, but they didn't know that those assassins were prisoners in the Ministry of Justice prison, and were just taken out by the majestic prince for ventilation.

As night fell, Guo Boyan returned to the Duke's Mansion.

The lady was waiting. After watching her son eat two bowls of noodles, she said quietly: "I have inquired. Your fairy is a girl from the Lin family in Jinxiufang. After she was married to a juren from Suzhou. Song Juren died of illness. Lin had been widowed for four years and returned to her parents' home in April this year. Bo Yan, is it strange? She returned to Beijing in April and has not gone out once in the past few months. Why is it so coincidental that she went to Anguo Temple with you as soon as you come back?"

At the end of the day, the Madam's eyes turned cold and stared at her son in scrutiny.

After decades when his mother was housekeeper, Guo Boyan had already been ready to be exposed by his mother and smiled and said with apologies: "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from you."

After laughing, Guo Boyan moved to his mother and knelt down and whispered to explain his relationship with Lin: "...Mom, I know what you are thinking, but Lin really didn't seduce me. It was me who was trying to force her to obey me. If she was a man who was a phoenix, I wouldn't have stabbed myself and showed you an arrow."

The lady sneered: "I want to welcome you but refuse. How can you guys see through the methods of women?"

Guo Boyan doesn’t like to listen: “In my mother’s eyes, is my son a foolish person?”

The lady frowned and turned her head and said, "Whatever you say, I don't agree." Letting a widow be the hostess of the Duke's Mansion is a joke.

Guo Boyan sighed and said tiredly: "Mom, my son has fallen in love with Lin for so many years. Do you know my temper? As long as there is someone hanging me there, I will not look down on other vulgar fans. I really miss my son who will be alone for the rest of his life, and there is no woman beside him who cares about his well-being?"

The lady was slightly moved.

Guo Boyan continued to work hard and continued, "Yes, Lin's status is low and not worthy of our family, but have you ever thought about it? I will marry a widow as a wife, and my colleagues may make jokes behind my back. What about the emperor? The emperor dislikes the most in-laws of powerful ministers. Five years ago, Li Wentang, the Minister of Personnel, and Liu Shuo, the Minister of War, formed a family of children and Liu Shuo. Not long after, Liu Shuo was transferred by the emperor to Yongzhou as a military governor. Do you definitely remember this?"

The grandma understood what her son meant and said, "It is a good thing to be cautious when taking office for the emperor, but you don't have to be so wronged..."

"My son is not wronged at all." Guo Boyan interrupted, looking at his mother sincerely with black eyes: "Mom, I really like her. She didn't show her face on the boat that day, and my heart was relieved just by listening to the voice..."

The lady raised her eyebrows and Guo Boyan shut up obediently.

The lady looked at the wound on her son's left shoulder and said sadly: "You are not afraid of becoming a laughing stock. I am too lazy to care about you, but have you ever thought about Pingzhang? Pingzhang was impulsive at a young age, and he was at a good age. You found him a widow stepmother, and he was angry outside. Will he be scattered on Lin when he comes back? Who are you going to then?"
