Chapter 69: Not Regret

Chapter 69 No regrets

Qiao Zhao immediately sat up straight and put away his casualness: “Champion Hou went to Kou Shangshu’s house? What happened later?”

Did he go to his grandfather’s house to report a funeral?

Shao Mingyuan will definitely meet his brother!

As long as he thinks of this possibility, Qiao Zhao finds it difficult to calm down.

Azhu was stopped by the question, shook his head and said: “The maid only heard this, or because the old women made a bet that the champion would be beaten out when he went to the Shangshu Mansion.”

“No.” Qiao Zhao regained his composure.

Meeting Ah Zhu’s questioning eyes, she explained: “Champion Hou shot his wife Qiao Shi for the sake of the family and country. As an important official of the court, Kou Shangshu will not embarrass Champion Hou.”

She calmly analyzed the reactions of her relatives when she was shot by her husband, and she couldn’t tell what it was like.

My grandfather would definitely not blame Shao Mingyuan, so what about my brother?

Qiao Zhao thought crazy for a while, and said nothing.

Azhu quietly retreated.

Kou Shangshu’s mansion.

Because Kou Lao Shangshu and his son went to face each other in the morning, they heard that the champion was coming to meet him, and the old lady Xue and the eldest daughter-in-law Mao were entertaining him.

Shao Mingyuan was wearing a half-new white robe. When he saw Mrs. Xue, he immediately lifted the corner of his robe and knelt down on one knee: “My grandson-in-law Mingyuan has seen my grandmother and my aunt.”

The young man with clear eyebrows and handsome eyes restrained his scornful killing spirit, like a noble son of a noble family who has read poetry and books, kneeling respectfully in front of his elders.

Mrs. Xue was silent for a long time.

The young man kneeling on the ground was not at all anxious, nor did he feel the complacency of a young prince. Time passed by, and he kept his kneeling posture motionless.

The young maids serving in the room couldn’t help but frequently looked at this handsome and unparalleled young prince.

This is the husband of their cousin girl, who is so handsome and has great ability, but unfortunately, their cousin girl is not lucky—

“Forget it, Lord Hou, get up.” Madam Xue finally spoke.

Shao Mingyuan didn’t move: “Mingyuan knew that he was guilty of a lot of sin, and he didn’t dare to ask his grandmother for forgiveness. I begged my grandmother to allow Mingyuan to see his uncle.”

“Master Hou wants to see Qiao Mo?”

“Yes, my wife’s coffin has been placed in Jing’an Hou’s mansion, and Ming Yuan wants to tell his uncle and brother about it.”

“Qiao Mo he—” Madam Xue opened her mouth to speak, and finally shook her head and sighed, “Forget it, Mama Qing, lead the Lord Hou to see the Young Master Biao.”

A woman in her forties and fifties came over: “Master Hou, please come with the old slave.”

Shao Mingyuan kowtowed to Mrs. Xue, then got up and followed Mama Qing out.

He just left, and behind the screen came a green girl.

“Qinglan!” Mr. Mao frowned.

The girl in green is the second daughter of the Mao family, Kou Qinglan.

Kou Qinglan was obviously not afraid of Mao’s reprimand, turned around and stretched out his hand, and pulled out a blue skirt girl from behind the screen.

The girl in the blue dress is slightly older than Kou Qinglan. She was pulled out like this, her face was crimson, and she glanced at her and said, “Second sister, let go.”

Kou Qinglan smiled and said: “Sister, don’t be annoyed, I’ll just let go.”

Waiting for her to let go, the girl in the blue skirt greeted Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Mao with a blessing: “Grandmother, mother.”

Mao sighed: “Zi Mo, why are you fooling around with your sister!”

Before Kou Zimo could speak, Kou Qinglan hurriedly said, “Mother, don’t blame eldest sister, I was curious about what the invincible champion Hou looked like, so I brought eldest sister to see it.”

The girl’s voice was like an oriole, and she didn’t hide her intentions, but it made Mao feel helpless, so she turned her head to Madam Xue and said, “Madam, it’s my daughter-in-law who spoiled these two girls—”

Mrs. Xue shook her head and said, “They are at the age of curiosity, so it’s not surprising that they want to meet the famous Hou Ye.”

After she finished speaking, she looked at her two granddaughters, her face sank: “It’s just not like this in the future. Although your cousin is gone, his name is still your cousin-in-law. Once it spreads out, people should say that we don’t have any. It’s the rules!”

Kou Qinglan stuck out her tongue: “The granddaughter knows it’s wrong, the granddaughter is just curious.”

Mrs. Xue glanced at Mrs. Mao: “Ms. Mao, take them down.”

Mao understood what Mrs. Xue meant.

Champion Hou is still in the mansion, it is really inappropriate to let the girls run around.

Just—

Thinking of the young general who just knelt in front of Mrs. Xue, and took another look at the two daughters who were like flowers and jade, Mao’s heart moved.

This champion marquis knows more about etiquette than she imagined. He has already been named a marquis as prime minister in his early twenties, and his future prospects are even more limitless. Speaking of which, he is a rare good son-in-law.

The father-in-law is about to start his career, and the husband has been unable to go up or down. By then, the marriage of the two daughters will be too high or too low.

Mao kept this idea in mind, and after leading his two daughters back to the yard, he sent servants to settle the residence of Young Master Biao to inquire about the situation.

Shao Mingyuan was led by Mother Qing to a courtyard in the northwest corner of Shangshu Mansion.

This courtyard named “Tingfengju” is very remote, so quiet that only the rustling of bamboo leaves can be heard.

Qing’s mother stopped and said respectfully: “Master Hou, please wait a moment, it’s not convenient for you to see people, the old slave will go ahead and ask for instructions.”

“There is work.” Shao Mingyuan stood in the yard and waited quietly.

After a while, there was movement, Shao Mingyuan looked up and saw Qiao Jiayulang, who had a relationship with him, strode over.

The young man came with white clothes and black hair. He had only these two colors all over his body. Looking at his demeanor, he felt that he was unparalleled in elegance.

Rao has seen Young Master Biao look like this, but Mama Qing still lowered her head and lowered her eyes, not daring to look again, thinking: Young Master Biao is disfigured and looks like a ghost, why not cover it up?

In the blink of an eye, Qiao Mo was already standing in front of Shao Mingyuan.

His eyes were still as bright as ever, pitch black and quiet, looking at him like this, a pair of similar eyes flashed in front of Shao Mingyuan.

His wife, Mrs. Qiao, stood on the city wall and looked at him from a distance, her eyes were so clear and peaceful.

At that time, he didn’t dare to take another look, but he didn’t know that the only one had been engraved in his heart, and he would never forget it.

“Uncle—” Shao Mingyuan spoke first, his voice low.

Those quiet eyes suddenly changed, and the man’s voice was as cool as water, like the wind blowing through the bamboo forest: “Shao Mingyuan?”

“Yes.”

“My brother-in-law, my elder sister’s husband, Shao Mingyuan?”

“It’s me.” Shao Mingyuan spat out every word, almost unable to stand, but he could only stand upright and bear the simple and heavy scolding from the closest relatives to the Qiao family in the world.

“You didn’t protect my sister well.”

“right.”

“I ask you, you shot my sister, do you regret it?”

Shao Mingyuan was silent for a moment, then replied: “I don’t regret it.”

Once again, he still had to choose that way.

Although I do not regret it, I am ashamed.

Guilt for life!

It’s just that, he is not qualified to say to Qiao’s relatives.

“Very good.” Qiao Mo raised the sword in his hand and stabbed at Shao Mingyuan’s heart.
