Chapter 369 Scratch

"Madam, the marquis is back."

The maid lifted the curtain, and at the same time, light and shadow appeared outside the window, and a line of footsteps sounded in the quiet sky.

Mrs. Lu immediately calmed down and greeted the door.

As expected, it was Marquis Jingnan who came back. After entering the door, he looked at her. The accident flashed through his eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He asked while leaving the robe, "Why are you not sleeping yet?"

"I'm waiting for you. There are so many chaos tonight, and I can't sleep."

Lu personally brewed a cup of tea for him.

He didn't answer, except for the outer robe and the middle robe. Lu glanced at it and said, "Where have you been so late?"

He still didn't say anything until he took off his clothes until he was left with his middle clothes, and then replied: "Don't you all know that there are chaos outside? I'm going to the Huo family. By the way," he turned his head: "I remember to send a message to the managers. The family banquet that was originally scheduled to be held for the Mid-Autumn Festival night was not held yet."

Lu was stunned: "A banquet? Why didn't I know about it before?"

"Now you know."

The Marquis of Jingnan stood under the curtain, his broad back revealed that he didn't want to talk much. After a moment of pause, he said to the outsider: "Get in and take a shower."

As the maid outside left, he also walked into the inner room.

Lu looked at the shaking pearl curtain in a daze, and his hands tightened for no reason. After spending more than ten years together, she could hear what he meant just to tell her to do this. As for whether there was a banquet before, it was not important? What did he mean? Is he trying to hide something? Or did he originally planned to invite the brother and sister, so he didn't even need to tell her wife?

Lu clenched his fists, looked at the covered curtain, and sat down with his lips pursed.

The maid and the old lady carried the water into the ear room. Lu sat in a willful manner for a while, but still got up and found clean clothes and sent them in. When he lifted the curtain, he saw the Marquis of Jingnan leaning in the bathtub, frowning and looking at his right hand. The sound of the curtain seemed to shock him. He subconsciously buried his hand in the bucket and threw it at him in dissatisfaction.

Lu came prepared. No matter how fast he moved, she saw a few scratches on the back of his hand. She accelerated a few steps forward: "What's wrong with your hand?"

"Nothing happened." Marquis Jingnan looked forward, as if he felt that such a cover was too deliberate. After a while, he raised his hand and placed it on the edge of the bucket. "If you have nothing to do, go out."

"I'll get some medicine, don't move."

Lu turned around to get the medicine for the wound and brought a handkerchief. When she got to the side, she picked up his hand and looked carefully. There were two scratches about two inches long. They were not wounds from swords, but as if they were broken by spoils. She carefully applied the medicine and used the handkerchief to help him with it: "Why are you so careless? What's going on?"

"After just now, something happened to the Huo family. Xun Qinglian was too anxious and was shaved twice on the street by a carriage."

Mrs. Lu rolled up her sleeves to help him take a shower, and said, "Tomorrow's festival, the incense will surely be prosperous in the morning of Xiangguo Temple. I heard that several young masters have to go to the temple to appreciate the osmanthus every year, so I plan to take Sister Yi to burn incense. The master will go with you. We only have such a daughter. Come and look for her good husband, so you can help you in the future."

"You'll be fine, I'm not available."

Lu looked at him and said, "Why are you not free? You don't have to go to court tomorrow. Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has also been exempted from the rules of paying tribute in the Mid-Autumn Festival. Even if you have the pleasure of having fun with the people, it is also at night. No matter how busy you are, don't you have to celebrate the festival?"

Earlier, she fell in love with Huo Xiu as her son-in-law, but he disagreed. After seeing it for so many days, she felt the thorn that the Marquis of Jingnan might be interested in the eldest princess, and her mind became weak. She would not be happy to see him every day to care about the son of other women. But Yu Qingyi's marriage could not be delayed anymore. This Mid-Autumn Festival is a good day, and she should be patient and lobbying.

"If something happened to the Huo family, I will be busy at any time. Don't bother me if I have something to do."

"Why is it the Huo family again?" Lu finally said, "What does something wrong with their family have to do with us?"

"You are a woman, and you can't understand even if you tell me."

"Then the master, let's talk!"

Jingnan Hou glanced at her, took the handkerchief from her hand, and ignored her.

Lu was left with cold hands and feet. He stood there for a while before he opened the curtain and walked out.

When the Jingnan Hou heard the bead curtain gradually calmed down, he untied the handkerchief in his right hand and looked at the scars on the back of his hand.

Under the pale moonlight, these two blood-stained scars looked particularly dazzling.

He curled up his hand and looked up at the night outside the window. He was already deep when his eyebrows and eyes became deep.

...

Zhao Su's guards escorted out of the palace. Halfway through, he saw many lights appearing from the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion near the palace, so he turned to find Zhao Yu.

Logically speaking, Huo Mingyu, a princess with a noble gold and precious jade, must not be told to the public, but after the Marquis of Jingnan searched for Huo Xiu everywhere, the news could not be kept. This kind of thing was very exciting, so many places in the capital were already talking about this matter. Fortunately, the royal family was enlightened and Huo Xiu was also determined to save his sister and did not care too much about it. Therefore, the Dali Temple had to be less concerned about it.

When Zhao Su arrived, it seemed that the survey had been completed. Several leading officials from Dali Temple and Han Jun were planning to discuss. The servants in the marquis' mansion were gathered in the yard. It seemed that they had just ordered the roster and had not lost anyone, so the managers were sending them to their respective duties and reminding them to take good care of doors and windows.

Zhao Yu sent the people from Dali Temple away and walked to Zhao Su: "What are you doing here? Why don't you go back?"

"How is the result here?"

"The princess has indeed found some clues in the yard where she lives. At present, it is certain that she has not experienced any fights. When the person was taken away, she may have been forcibly covered by his ears and noses, or had a drug on her back. She walked from the princess's mansion, and there were scratches under the north wall. There was a street market on the other end of the north wall, which was well-connected and easy to hide. The route this person was looking for was enough to show that he had a certain understanding of the Huo family and a considerable understanding of the capital."

"This person is so bold." Zhao Su couldn't help but say.

"No?" Zhao Yu looked ahead with his hands behind his back, "There are many people who meet the conditions, but I don't understand why he did this?"

"Isn't it to anger Huo Xiu so that he can attack the Empress Dowager and the Emperor?"

"I'm not referring to this." Zhao Yu looked at her, "I mean, he has achieved success and fame and can enjoy his blessings. The eldest princess cannot stop him. But why did he have to do all this back then?"
