Chapter 271 The opportunity for revenge has come

Zhao Wanyue saw that she was nervous, so she asked, "What's the matter? Just tell me!"

Yunniang saw that there was no one around, so she said, "Madam, at first, when the Duke first saw the Second Master, he was also afraid. I don't know what method the Second Master used. After a few days, the Duke smiled when he saw the Second Master. I always feel that something is wrong, but I don't know what it is!"

After hearing this, Zhao Wanyue fell into deep thought. She was also very curious about how Su Bohao did it.

Yunniang saw that the lady didn't say anything, so she thought that the lady was angry and apologized quickly.

Zhao Wanyue smiled faintly: "Yunniang, you did a good job. The Duke has the mind of a child and can't distinguish right from wrong. You have to be more alert. If there is anything, just tell me."

Yunniang is not a person who likes to gossip, nor does she want to curry favor with Zhao Wanyue after getting the bracelet. She just feels that there is something wrong with this second master.

When the old Duke is awake, he has a pleasant face. Once the person falls asleep or unconscious, he doesn't want to stay for a moment.

She is really worried that something will happen to the old Duke. Fortunately, this lady seems to be kind.

Su Bohao is not a good person. Zhao Wanyue has known it for a long time. Now that the Duke is under their noses, Su Bohao has no chance to make trouble.

However, Su Bohao's return this time was unclear, so she had to ask her father to help find out. If he was really a deserter, what should be done with him.

Zhao Wanyue had just thought of this when Su Bohao came back humming a little tune.

He obviously knew what Zhao Wanyue and the others were thinking, and said directly: "Sister-in-law, don't worry that I will implicate you. I have already made it clear to the Ministry of War.

When I was in the north, I dreamed every day that my father was suffering. He said that he was very lonely in Quanzhou. Although there was no war at that time, the situation was unclear. Although I missed my father every day, I dared not leave my post.

Now the north is peaceful, and our Dashuo is the north. "I am a great benefactor of the land. There will definitely be no more wars in the short term. I have also written my resignation, but I missed my father a little, so I rushed to Quanzhou without waiting for the approval of my superiors.

Now, I have reported to the Minister of War, and he even praised my filial piety!"

Su Bohao's lie was so perfect that if Zhao Wanyue hadn't heard from Xiaoxiao that he had committed a crime and escaped back, she would have really believed that he was worried about his father.

Since Su Bohao can make it up, let's wait and see. Su Bowen should be back soon. The most important thing now is to take care of the old Duke's health. The old man has suffered a lot along the way.

Seeing that Zhao Wanyue didn't say anything, Su Bohao became more proud. He said in a sarcastic tone: "Sister-in-law, you have been in charge of the family for so many years, haven't you ever thought about bringing father back? If this gets out, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep your title of lady of honor."

Zhao Wanyue was not used to him, and said with a cold face: "Don't you know father's condition? You acted on your own this time. The doctor said that he almost couldn't get off the boat alive. It was only because the old man was blessed, otherwise, you would have the chance to stand here and talk to me now!"

"But isn't father fine? Much better than before. This is all my credit!" Su Bohao really felt that he saved his father.

Zhao Wanyue snorted, "It was Xiaoxiao who brought my father back to life. Xiaoxiao has saved more than one or two people. Don't flatter yourself. Besides, you haven't been home for a while. Go visit your wife and children."

Su Bohao was thick-skinned and didn't bother. He just said, "I'll go right away. Sister-in-law, the guests are coming. You go ahead!"

After that, he smiled maliciously and slipped away.

Zhao Wanyue was confused. Guests, she didn't invite them?

Just thinking about this, Lian Xuan came in a hurry to report, "Madam, there are many guests outside. They all said they came to see the Duke! In addition, there are some rumors outside."

Lian Xuan stopped talking halfway.

Zhao Wanyue frowned: "Tell me, what rumor can't I hear?"

"Rumor has it that you and your old master abandoned the Duke in Quanzhou, and it was the second master who risked his life to bring the Duke back. As soon as the Duke returned home, he got much better.

Now, many people outside are saying that you can't tolerate a sick father-in-law!"

Zhao Wanyue finally understood what Su Bohao meant by that smile. It must be him who spread the news that the Duke was back, so so many people came to visit.

The Duke has been guarding the border for many years. He fell ill not long after returning from the border. He doesn't have many good friends in the capital.

These people all want to make some friends with the Duke's Mansion because they see that it is now in its heyday.

In the days when the plague was just over, there were many guests who came to visit. Zhao Wanyue simply hung up a thank you sign and refused to see any of them.

Zhao Wanyue naturally didn't want to see those today. However, they couldn't be dismissed with a thank you sign.

They said they came to see the Duke. If I thanked them behind closed doors, they would definitely say that I was guilty. Who knows what rumors would spread.

Zhao Wanyue sighed and said, "Then let's go and meet them!"

The aristocratic families in the capital are most afraid of these interpersonal relationships. They are all vain and exhausted.

But at the forefront of the storm, they have to respond.

If Zhao Wanyue neglected them, someone would immediately say that the Duke of Zhenguo was arrogant because of their favor and did not take other noble families seriously.

Knowing that Su Bowen was not there and that the people who came were all female relatives, Zhao Wanyue had to respond with a smile.

The wife of the Vice Minister of War wiped her tears and said, "This Duke is so miserable. He served in the army for half his life, and just after he was given the title of Duke, he suddenly fell ill. My husband always sighed and felt sorry for the Duke whenever he talked about this.

Now he is well. It's really a blessing that the clouds have cleared and the moon has appeared. The Duke has woken up. Your Duke's Mansion is really lucky!"

Another wife also said, "Although Liu is not decent, Master Su is a good person after all. He traveled thousands of miles from the north to Quanzhou to bring the Duke back. Otherwise, no one would know even if he woke up. If someone didn't take good care of him, who knows what would happen!"

These words were very unpleasant. They praised Su Bohao and secretly said that Zhao Wanyue was not virtuous.

"That's right. Logically, he should have been brought back long ago. It's really disheartening that a dignified duke was thrown into a remote place like Quanzhou!"

Zhao Wanyue looked up and saw that this was Sun, the wife of the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue, and the wife of Wang Duozi, her biological sister.

This was deliberately to make Zhao Wanyue unhappy and to vent her sister's anger.

The other one was Princess Xu, the wife of Prince Dunqin, who her son had previously been engaged to Su Lingxi.

On the day of the broken engagement, thunder struck the palace, and the scandal became known to everyone. Princess Xu's hair was burnt.

Almost three years have passed, and her hair still hasn't grown out. She has been criticized for wearing a wig. She has wanted to take revenge for this.
