Chapter 375: Betting on a Treasure!

Chen Han, who had just returned to the medical center after seeing the doctor from Marquis Jingnan’s residence, only to see the Zhao residence’s First Lady Xing and Third Lady Huang waiting for her. It turns out that today is the Zhao family banquet, according to the usual practice of previous years, all the relatives of the Zhao family in the capital were invited, and in compliance with the Marquis of Qingyun’s entrustment, they specially came to ask Chen Han to go to the banquet.

Chen Han was not prepared, because the old father of the family has always disapproved of the marriage because of the difference in status between her and the Marquis of Qingyun, so to go to the banquet with such fanfare is not tantamount to announcing the world, right?

But Xing’s and Huang’s laughed and said that Marquis Qingyun had already invited the two old men to Chen’s home, so the two old men would also go to the banquet. Chen Han then realized that somehow Marquis Qingyun had already made sense of his old father’s mind and agreed to hire him in the next few days, so she had no more excuses and went back to her room to fix her makeup and go to the banquet.

In the palace after the release of smoke bombs Zhao Su in Ci Ning Palace with lunch before returning home, she knew that the Zhao family has a family dinner tonight, relatives in the capital are invited, including the upcoming Zhao Ha’s husband’s family. This kind of reunion day, the original should go to the kitchen to show their hands, but coincidentally came to the Da Lisi Yamen because of the Flower Moon Club defendant, involved in the Ministry of Rites Yamen, at the moment the two sides are messy news, that since can not be in the mood.

The Da Lisi was this mess, will have to temporarily put aside to track down the matter of Huo Mingyu, according to the emperor’s statement, they are pulling away from the front. At this moment, he has to fish in troubled waters, really anxious!

Will this really wait for Huo Mingyu to show up? What if it doesn’t?

She waits in her room for Zhao Sumi to return, and on the way, she asks Hua Qianrong to inquire about Luo Yanru’s movements, but Zhao Ha pulls her into the Chrysanthemum Pavilion to nag her. When she was surprised to find Chen Han actually came, today dressed in full costume, and next to a few elders who were not familiar with, the Marquis of Qingyun also accompanied the side. She then realized that the original old tree blossomed father has been a good thing near, immediately went forward to the Chen family old master and old lady salute. On this side, the Chen family’s old parents returned the salute to the Empress-to-be, and each other were modest for a while.

The Chen family’s parents have a special person to accompany them, Chen Han has long been unrestrained, she followed Zhao Su Zhao Ha to sit in the pavilion. Zhao Su asked her, “What have you been busy with these past two days?”

“Nothing in particular.” Chen Han responded casually. When she finished speaking, she was lost in thought with a fruit.

Zhao Su said, “What’s wrong?”

Chen Han put the fruit away and looked around the garden, “Is the son still busy with the Huo family?”

“No?” Zhao Su said, “Who would have thought that the princess Yanping could be robbed at this moment? If her fate is uncertain, the emperor and empress dowager are uneasy.”

One of the uneasiness is worrying about Huo Mingyu’s safety, the rest is worrying about Huo Xiu, if he is stimulated to do something radical, it will not be good.

Chen Han picked a walnut and took it, murmuring, “What on earth would be so bold?” After saying this, she looks at Zhao Su, “I heard that Marquis Jingnan also showed up at the Huo family last night?”

“Yes. It is said that he went to the Huo family to invite the Weiyuan Marquis siblings over as guests and discovered that the county princess was missing. Then he chased them to the city gates to look for Marquis Wei Yuan.”

Chen Han furrowed his brows, “Since he went to invite guests, it’s reasonable to say that there wouldn’t be any bumps.”

“Bump?” Zhao Su looked at her, “You mean Marquis Jingnan?”

“Yes, I have been in and out of Marquis Jingnan’s residence for the past few days, and I always feel that the atmosphere of the Yu family is a bit strange, to be exact, Marquis Jingnan is a bit strange, the day early in the morning, the maids said that he was taking a bath, and then his hair didn’t even dry before he left the house. Today morning, the day of the duty, he went to the inner courtyard, I saw his right hand back with two blood marks, as if by the sharp objects scraped.”

Zhao Su couldn’t help but straighten up her waist, she remembered clearly, last night Marquis Jingnan is so said, he said is to go to the Huo family treat, and then caught up with the matter, after that sent people around to look for Huo Xiu, which did not involve fighting, and to his hands, even if the fight and how will easily fall wounds it?

“Could it be that your eyes are blurred?” She confirmed.

“Impossible.” Chen Han looked serious, “I saw it clearly.”

Thinking of Marquis Jingnan’s gaze at that time, she unconsciously frowned again.

“Miss!”

At this time, Xiao Ju walked over with small steps, “Miss, the county princess has returned to the residence!”

Zhao Su stood up in a flash: “Are you sure?”

“Of course I’m sure, it was Su Tang who said that he was ordered by the Prince to return to the residence to deliver a message, saying that he would be back later, and the Marquis asked him why. He said that the county princess was escorted back to the house by Marquis Jingnan.”

Zhao Su simply can’t believe that the emperor this treasure so quickly bet on, Huo Mingyu really came back!

But ……

“Marquis Jingnan?”

How is it him again?

She immediately exchanged glances with Chen Han, then whirled around and said to Xiao Ju, “Go prepare the car, I’m going to go to Marquis Wei Yuan’s residence to take a look!”

“I’ll go too! I’ll take our family’s car, and it’s ready to be tied up outside.”

Chen Han said immediately.

When they arrived at the Huo family’s home, there were indeed some people parked outside the door, and the people under the door recognized her and didn’t dare to stop them, so they directly led them in.

People are still in the front yard, Huo Xiu faced with the whole back Huo Mingyu, her eyes are still red, and her voice is still very unsteady. Han Jun and Zhao Su are both there, and both of them are of course much more stable, their attention falling on the few people in the room in turn.

Zhao Su and the two of them draw away the attention of the crowd for a few moments, and after greeting them, Zhao Su walks up and holds onto Huo Mingyu’s hands, “Where did county princess go?”

Huo Mingyu sweeps a glance at everyone present, and then slowly says: “Last night I did encounter a little danger, after my brother went out at night, I went back to my room alone, who knew that there was an assassin hiding in the house, and when I closed the door he covered my mouth and nose, and under the struggle I was knocked out.

“When I was a little bit of consciousness, people have been outside the fence, in my side into three black people, I cried out for help, they held me hostage, well at this time Jingnan Hou passed by, they see the situation is not good to run away. Marquis in order to help me chase the murderer, it will be placed in the nearest Luo Taishi’s one of the other courtyard temporary shelter, I tossed and turned all night, lived in that small courtyard, woke up earlier, and entrusted the marquis to send me back.”

Zhao Su looks to Marquis Jingnan, his gaze lingering on his frank face for a moment, and then asks Huo Mingyu, “Last night, Marquis Weiyuan was in a hurry to go crazy, so why didn’t he come back until just now?”

“Oh,” Marquis Jingnan picks up the conversation, “last night I was afraid that she was frightened, so I had someone boil some tranquilizing broth, so perhaps she slept a bit more deeply on this. As for why I didn’t tell her in advance, it’s because Marquis Weiyuan had stayed in the palace and didn’t return to the house until earlier, and I didn’t dare to send her back again rashly. Now,” he turned to Huo Xiu and exhaled, “Finally, there is no danger of a scare, sister I brought you back properly.”

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was a joking invitation to take credit, but Zhao Su did not give an answering smile, and with the exception of Zhao Sumi who was lifting his lips, the rest of them did not look like they were going to be supportive, even Huo Xiu still maintained a stony demeanor, wondering if he had not yet regained his senses from the shock.

Zhao Su glanced at Chen Han, who just happened to withdraw his gaze from Marquis Jingnan’s right hand.

At this time, Huo Xiu slightly paused his head, and had also bent down towards Marquis Jingnan: “A great favor is not to be thanked, this love of the Marquis, I, Huo Xiu, will remember it first.”
