She fell out after crying at the wrong grave

"Our affairs are all about the construction of the new parade ground. They are official business!" The young man in the lead stood in front of the house and said arrogantly, "How can a woman like you understand? Hurry up and report it, otherwise don't blame us for barging in out of desperation!"

Zhao stood on the steps, her face livid with anger, "This is the residence of Marquis Zhao. Marquis Zhao will not see guests today. How many times do I need to tell you this?"

A sedan chair was parked on the wide road not far away. It had been lowered for easy access. A man was sitting in front of the sedan chair, drinking tea by himself, as if he was more carefree than a god.

At this time, Zhao was completely helpless. Her master was in a coma due to the poison and was struggling on the verge of death. It was definitely impossible for these people to see him.

There was only one Yunli following him, and besides that there were a few servants guarding the gate. Was he going to fight with them?

No, no, no, she immediately rejected this conclusion in her heart. Shouting and fighting in front of the mansion gate would simply bring disgrace to the young marquis's reputation.

She was extremely anxious, blaming the new wife for having disappeared. There was no one in the house who could make the decisions, so how could she drive these people away?

Yunli's hands were sweating, and he also had no idea.

Yunli felt relieved when he saw the new wife and Yun Cheng at the wall. Now that they were back, the new wife would definitely not sit idly by after seeing this scene.

Hengzhi started to feel cold and vomit blood in the morning, so Yuncong went to ask for a doctor. It was too coincidental that these people came to see Hengzhi just as the doctor came in.

Anyway, they don't look like good people, so just treat them as enemies.

What we need to do now is to make a bigger noise and buy time until the lady arrives.

So Yunli mustered up his courage, thinking about how calmly Ah'ao usually did things, and stood in front of Aunt Zhao.

"You said you had official business to report, but you came here rashly. First, you didn't show me the approval documents. Second, you were arrogant and rude, and you spoke nonsense in front of the prince's mansion." She stood very straight, with her eyes high above her head, not even looking at anyone, and suddenly looked like a servant of a noble family.

The little girl's voice was clear and melodious, like the sound of a spring spring, but it scared the group of people who came to cause trouble and made them stop talking.

"You are not an official in the court. If you don't know, you might think it's a bandit coming down the mountain!"

Wei Guohui was still blowing the tea leaves in his cup. Hearing this, he chuckled, "As expected of a maid in the Marquis's mansion, your tone is quite arrogant!"

Seeing the person in charge stand up, the few people who had spoken in the front also made way and fell silent.

"Whether we have official documents or not is not important. I am trying to persuade you in a friendly way and don't want to embarrass you in front of the door. If you try to stop me again, don't blame me for being rude."

When Zhao heard this, she was so angry that she pointed her finger at Wei Guohui's crown.

Yunli stopped her, his heart filled with anger.

"Who is Wei Gongcao trying to be rude to?"

The clear voice, with a hint of imperceptible laughter, froze the condescending sarcasm into an icy arrow, which nailed Wei Guohui in front of him.

The sound arrived before the person saw it.

Yunli breathed a sigh of relief.

I have A'an as my backer in everything, so I feel at ease.

Taking advantage of this gap, A'ao still did not enter Hengzhi's room. She turned around and changed her clothes, asked a maid to put on makeup for her, and quickly went to the door.

In fact, his breathing was not yet even, and he took a deep breath to prevent his voice from trembling and not letting anyone know.

She was still wearing the long skirt she wore at the Spring Banquet, but without the heavy outer robe. The thin long jacket was a perfect match for the spring scenery. On her temples were two identical pearl hairpins and a thumb-long silver chain with hanging beads.

Judging from the quality of the beads, they must be of extraordinary value. However, the style of the pearl hairpin is not conspicuous, vaguely indicating the identity of the hostess, neither too ostentatious nor too low-profile.

Wei Guohui looked at the person carefully. As she stood in front of him, the blue color made her look lonely and elegant, as if she was in a different class from the others.

The rosy cheeks, long indigo eyebrows, and the way she cast down her eyes and scrutinized him made him feel as if he were stung by a bee all over.

Yunli knew how to judge the situation. Seeing that the group of villains were frightened by Ah's voice, he immediately shouted at them, "How dare you! You are so rude to the Marquis' wife!"

There were actually a few people who were so bewildered that they bent down and were about to kneel down.

But when Wei Guohui saw such a familiar face, a light bulb suddenly lit up in his head and he came back to his senses in an instant, "It's you! The female shopkeeper who does business on East Street! How could you... How dare you!"

Zhao Hou is the Duke of Zhao and his wife is a lady of noble birth. How dare she open a shop outside, let alone such a lowly business!
Seeing her identity exposed in public, Yunli immediately became anxious and wanted to refute her. Ah-yi gently pulled her back, not afraid.

Among the people present, Wei Guohui was the only one who could not believe it, and Zhao was also shocked. It turned out that every time she could not receive any news, Cui was out doing business!

How dignified!

Ah-yi turned half of her scrutiny into an unfathomable smile. They watched Wei Guohui's ups and downs like a play.

"Wei Gongcao just wanted to say that I was not polite, but what is that saying?" Ah's face was bright, fear was absolutely impossible, "You, Wei Gongcao, dared to bring people to block the door of my mansion today, and you still dare to ask me if I was polite or not?"

Except for Yunli, probably no one knows Ah's other identity now. Thinking that she also cursed people in the palace, I felt relieved.

Even his master Zhao Hou, whose life and death were unknown, was forgotten.

Wei Guohui changed his expression and laughed twice, "I will not argue with you, you are just a woman. The training ground was under construction and collapsed due to heavy rain. Today I want to see Zhao Hou, who dares to stop me?"

Ah-yi remained unmoved and suppressed his arrogance, "Then you try it."

As he was about to finish his words, two teams of soldiers wearing silver armor suddenly appeared on both sides of the courtyard wall, running towards him in a solemn manner. The sound of armor colliding was crisp and clanging, and iron bows were drawn with arrows, with murderous aura rising to the sky.

The group of people who were arrogant before suddenly panicked and looked around. Unfortunately, a group of soldiers with knives came from behind and surrounded them.

These were the elite soldiers of the patrol camp. The leader was a tall and strong man, the instructor Duan Can. He was also wearing the same silver armor, but he had a sword in his hand instead.

"Madam." Duan Canyi clasped his fists and saluted politely, then turned around and shouted to the soldiers, "Greetings, Madam!"

Each of them was a well-trained soldier, with strong physical fitness and combat capabilities. Their voices were as loud as a bell, and they all shouted, "Hello, Madam!"

Although Ah'ao maintained her composure on the surface, she couldn't help but grit her teeth.

What was even more embarrassing was the men's stupid greetings in public.

Do they greet Hengzhi in the same way every time he goes on inspection?
God bless, that kind of scene...

"Madam Hou, what do you mean?" Wei Guohui was starting to panic at this time.

He was also a typical bully who only feared the strong and bullied the weak. He relied on his numbers and planned to use force at worst. As long as the news of Zhao Hou's life and death was released, the rumors would spread in the city and people would panic. By then, his master would naturally find a way to control Kezhou.

But now that he saw that the other side had more people and more power than him, he had overlooked something and lost his composure.

"What do I mean?" Ah-yi even took some time to look at the blue flowers painted on her nails by the maid, and seemed very relaxed. "I said, my husband will be copying calligraphy for me in the study today, and will not see anyone except Coach Duan who came to report military affairs."

With every additional word, the expression on Wei Guohui's face became more interesting.

"There is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. If you don't agree, then please." Ah-yi raised her eyes and stared at Wei Guohui. "Ask Coach Duan for your guidance."

After saying that, he actually took Yunli and Zhao and retreated, as if he really wanted to give up a place for the competition.

Due to lack of space, the new training ground is currently in a half-built and half-trained state. This morning, Duan Can was preparing to lead people to practice shooting, but was told that the newly built martial arts arena had collapsed.

The surrounding rows of wooden armories also collapsed.

The young marquis had told him in the past to keep a closer eye on Wei Guohui, so Duan Can immediately felt something was wrong and rode his horse to the young marquis's residence.

However, he didn't expect that things would really change. When he entered the room, Hengzhi was still a little conscious, but he kept vomiting blood and could hardly continue.

Hengzhi's limbs were weak and he took out the military order from his arms with some difficulty, and told him that if he saw A'an, he should obey her orders.

Since it was Hengzhi's order, it was not allowed to be disobeyed. Duan Can quietly stationed at the back door and sent a signal to call in archers and armored soldiers, just to wait for the moment when the lady gave the order.

Now it seems that Hengzhi’s calculation was accurate.

At that time, in the house, Duan Can was holding the order in his hand, wondering what to do if his wife did not come back today.

Hengzhi smiled, and coughed violently while covering his lips. Then he wiped the blood from his lips and stared at the carved window at the door.

That said, she will be back.

Life is nothing but a series of gambles.

Perhaps it was the kiss after the quarrel that day that made Hengzhi realize some subtle growth that he had never noticed before.

It is the candlelight illuminating her hair at night, it is the distant view across the moat on the Lantern Festival night, or perhaps it is her counting the gifts with her skirt rolled up under the red candles.

On September 30th, under the gloomy sky, she put on mourning clothes for five taels of silver.

Looking back to the end, it was a sunny day, I was sleeping soundly, and a pomegranate fan fell from the building.

If you think about it from time to time, it is hard to escape the summary of "can't help yourself".

The past was interwoven into one another, forming a red silk thread around his heart.

But now is not the time to talk about romantic feelings.

The previous emperor had been treating Youbei with condescension for a long time, which was why Hengqi began to sleep soundly. The court had no intention of fighting, so it could only use money to appease the enemy in the name of "reward".

How can the wandering northerners be satisfied with small favors? Once they have treasures and food, they will want clearer and more abundant water sources and more abundant land.

Even more slaves, more expansion.

Human greed has no end.

This peace maintained with money is about to end. This year, the envoys from the north came to the capital and took away almost half of the things they brought.

The new emperor not only planted large plants and trees, but also levied taxes everywhere. He was also stubborn and refused to listen to advice. With such a country, it was no wonder that A's wife had more extreme ideas.

After spring and summer, the grass and horses of the Youbei people will be lush and strong, and in autumn and winter, they will face countless wars. Without the support of the capital, Kezhou’s military supplies and food will not last long.

We can't push the common people into the face of swords and sabers, can we?

Hengzhi was taught from childhood that he should shoulder his own responsibilities, and abandoning the city was absolutely impossible for him.

Therefore, the most important thing right now is to eliminate all internal troubles first.

At this critical moment of life and death, even if I could take the opportunity to see her once, it would be a blessing in disguise, a sweet gift from heaven.

Fortunately, A'an came back.
