Chapter 221: Anyang Hou comforts his mother-in-law and wife
Hearing what Madam Zhao said, Zhao Ting'er quickly stood up and hurried to the front hall with Cao Fangqing.
"I have seen my mother-in-law. I wanted to visit her yesterday, but I was held back by other things. I wonder how her health is recovering?"
Marquis Anyang, who was sitting in the hall drinking tea, saw Zhao Ting'er and Cao Fangqing coming in, and quickly stood up and saluted Zhao Ting'er.
Hearing Marquis Anyang's words, a hint of unnaturalness flashed across Zhao Ting'er's face, and her arrogance to cause trouble for Marquis Anyang also subsided a little.
She coughed to hide the embarrassment on her face, sat down in the first seat, and said to Anyang Hou with a smile: "I am in good health, thank you for your concern, please take a seat!"
After Cao Fangqing helped Zhao Ting'er sit down, she walked to Marquis Anyang and bowed to him. Marquis Anyang smiled and helped her up, and the couple sat down together.
Seeing that Marquis Anyang had a good attitude towards his daughter, Zhao Ting'er nodded secretly.
"I wanted to visit you at your house, but I didn't expect you to come over!"
She looked at Marquis Anyang and said with a smile.
"How dare I trouble my mother-in-law to make this trip? Just tell me what you want."
Marquis Anyang was very respectful to Zhao Ting'er.
"I don't have anything to do. The reason I posted this is that I want to visit my mother-in-law and my granddaughter Siruo."
Zhao Ting'er picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then looked at Anyang Hou and said, wanting to see how he would answer.
"My mother's headache is an old problem. She has recovered well in the past period of time. Thank you for your concern. As for Siruo, she is still in confinement. After a few days, when the punishment period is over, I will let her come to see you!"
Marquis Anyang looked at Zhao Ting'er with a sincere smile on his face.
"Speaking of the punishment of that girl Siruo, I just wanted to ask you something. I heard that Siruo was punished because she offended a mother and daughter. I wonder what the identities of the mother and daughter are that made you so afraid."
There was a gleam in Zhao Ting'er's eyes, and she asked the question in her mind directly.
After hearing her words, Anyang Hou remained calm and smiled at her, "I think the mother and daughter are dressed like ordinary people, there is nothing to be afraid of. I punished Siruo not because of them, but because I thought Siruo is not young anymore, and it will be time for her to get married in two years. She needs to change her stubborn temper, otherwise how can she find a good family!"
After saying that, without waiting for Zhao Ting'er to speak, he continued, "For this, my mother specially invited Rong Mama from the palace to teach Siruo. Rong Mama is not someone that ordinary people can invite. I believe Siruo will definitely benefit a lot!"
"Even so, there is no need to send Siruo to your mother's hospital. Have you considered Fangqing's feelings before doing this?"
Zhao Ting'er put down the teacup and looked at Marquis Anyang and asked impolitely.
"Mother-in-law, I am thinking about Fangqing. Aunt Rong is very strict in teaching people. I am afraid Fangqing will feel distressed. I would rather let Siruo learn the rules from Aunt Rong in my mother's courtyard and then let her go back to Fangqing. Isn't this better?"
After Anyang Hou finished speaking, he smiled at Cao Fangqing.
"I see. You really put a lot of thought into this. I heard from Qing'er that you have been very busy recently and have no time to rest in the backyard. But what trouble have you run into? Is there anything the General's Mansion can help with?"
Zhao Ting'er smiled gently at Marquis Anyang.
"It's all about business. I neglected Fang Qing. When I'm done with this, I'll spend more time with her!"
As Marquis Anyang spoke, he gave Cao Fangqing an apologetic smile.
Seeing this, Zhao Ting'er nodded with satisfaction.
After sitting for a while, Marquis Anyang stood up and bowed to Zhao Ting'er to say goodbye. He also considerately asked Cao Fangqing to go back after dinner and spend more time with Zhao Ting'er.
Zhao Ting'er was quite satisfied with his performance.
After Anyang Hou left, she looked at her daughter and said, "I think he is no different from before. Maybe we are overthinking it. Maybe things are really as he said."
"Wait until you ask your grandfather about the mother and daughter tomorrow. I don't know why, but I still feel very uneasy."
Cao Fangqing frowned slightly and spoke softly.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that when her husband looked at her, the smile did not reach his eyes. Sometimes, even when he looked at her with a smile, she felt a chill coming over her.
"Okay, don't think about it. I'll send someone to tell you when I come back from your grandfather's place tomorrow. I'll have someone cook your favorite dish. Let's have a good reunion today, as our family of three. It's been a while since we had a meal together."
The mother and daughter walked towards the backyard, talking and laughing.
Marquis Anyang came out of the general's mansion and looked back at the general's mansion with a cold light in his eyes.
During this period of time, he appeared to be busy with business matters, but in fact he had been investigating the incident of Fang Ruo falling off the cliff. After learning what happened that year, he continued to investigate. Unexpectedly, he really found some clues. His mother-in-law and wife were not as simple as they seemed.
In order not to alert the enemy, he had to comfort the mother and daughter first.
Thinking about what his mother-in-law had just asked about the identities of Fangruo and her daughter, he had to send more people to protect them, in case his mother-in-law sent people to investigate them, which might be detrimental to Fangruo and her daughter.
Thinking of the letter from his subordinates who stayed in Linshan County, he frowned. Who sent the people to Linshan County to investigate Fangruo and her daughter? Was it related to his mother-in-law and his wife?
