Chapter 305: Can't

This is really like talking about something irrelevant.

I can't control my son. When Changxing Hou first proposed marriage to him, he said this half-jokingly and half-tentatively. He didn't want to marry a lieutenant general, but if he refused again, it would seem like he was really afraid of his son.

Song Yichun's face was pale with a hint of blue, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You should prepare a generous gift to thank the Marquis of Changxing."

The implication is that the Marquis of Changxing, who has always been known for his audacity, is not the Marquis of Anlu. If you, Song Mo, want to challenge him, you should first see if you have the ability to do so.

Song Mo sneered and casually bowed to Song Yichun, saying, "If father asked me to come here just to say these, then my wife and I will withdraw first. You have rushed back in a state of worry, so you should take a good rest first!" As he said that, he glanced at Tao Qizhong and said, "It's a good opportunity, Mr. Tao, you can also talk to father. Report to father what happened at home in the past few days and let father make a decision." Then he signaled Dou Zhao to throw the matching cards at home to Song Yichun.

He wanted to see, without his approval, who would dare to take over the reward from the Duke of England's Mansion? !

This was something the two of them had discussed.

Dou Zhao understood and placed the rosewood box containing the Duke of England's palace playing cards on the coffee table next to the armchair.

Song Mo didn't care whether Song Yichun agreed or not, and pulled Dou Zhao out of the upper room.

"You rebellious son!" Song Yichun was furious and shouted to pull Song Mo back.

Everyone in the family knew that the prince had been learning martial arts from the Jiang family since he was a child. It was hard to say how deep his skills were, but he had never suffered any loss, whether at home or outside.

What if he angered the Crown Prince and killed him in a rage? Could Song Yichun let his own son die for them?

Those security guards who died are a lesson for us!

But no one dared to disobey the Duke's order. You looked at me, I looked at you, and we all walked out slowly. The perfunctory intention was self-evident.

This made Song Yichun even more angry. He was about to scold the servants around him, but Tao Qizhong, who was secretly sighing in his heart, stepped forward and said, "Duke, it's urgent! You haven't been at home these days, and a lot of things have happened in Kyoto..."

As expected, Song Yichun rolled down the ladder and went back to the study with Tao Qizhong.

But before he could stand still, he said with a gloomy face: "We can't go on like this! We have to find a way to deal with Song Mo!"

Tao Qizhong was shocked and reminded Song Yichun in a low voice: "The Crown Prince is now a close minister of the Emperor, I am afraid that something may not be right..."

"The more inappropriate it is, the more we have to do it." Song Yichun's eyes flashed with gloom, and he murmured, "But, where should we start? We have to make him lose the emperor's favor first... Without the emperor's protection, I don't think he can still be so arrogant."

Song Yichun suggested a few ideas: "Promote him in name only but demote him in reality. Ask the emperor to give him a good future and transfer him out of Kyoto... or make him behave improperly in front of the emperor and make him dislike him..."

These are only temporary solutions and not a fundamental solution. Even if Song Mo is controlled for a while, there is no guarantee that he will take even more brutal revenge after he recovers.

Tao Qizhong couldn't help but smile bitterly and reminded him in a low voice: "If the rumor of a father abusing his son spreads, it won't be good!"

Song Yichun frowned.

※※※※※

After leaving the upper house, Song Mo pursed his lips tightly, with a bit of coldness between his brows, which made the maids on the road panic and avoid him one by one. It was not until Song Mo entered Yizhi Hall that he spoke gloomily: "I really don't know how he became the governor of the Qianjun Governor's Office!"

His words reminded Dou Zhao.

In the previous life, the Duke of England's Mansion had been declining since Jiang's death. By the time Prince Liao ascended the throne, the Duke of England had already been idle at home. This may also be one of the reasons why Prince Liao dared to deprive the Duke of England of his title without any scruples and use the Duke of England's Mansion as a gun to shock the nobles in Kyoto.

It can be seen that Song Yichun's ability is limited.

She asked Song Mo: "What are you going to do about the Marquis of Changxing?"

Song Mo said disdainfully: "I think he has also heard about our family's affairs. He is helping father to be a matchmaker again. One is to save some face, and the other is to test how capable I am. No matter what, I can't let him succeed in this matter. I have to teach him a lesson!"

Dou Zhao was a little worried.

Song Mo comforted her: "We are just testing each other's abilities. Neither of us will get hurt over such a small matter."

Dou Zhao could only remind him to be careful.

But the charming atmosphere just now has long disappeared.

Song Mo called Yan Chaoqing over to discuss the matter.

Dou Zhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Song Mo is still too young and not suitable for being too indulgent.

At night, her little day came.

Song Mo could hardly hide his disappointment.

Dou Zhao was in mixed feelings.

She had already made up her mind that she would raise her own children herself in this life.

But they have too many things to do right now, and if the child comes later, they can be more fully prepared, so she used some tricks. But now seeing Song Mo like this, she felt very uneasy again.

Or, just let it go?

Song Mo quickly calmed down and kept comforting her: "Maybe you can get pregnant next time!"

Dou Zhao's smile seemed a bit forced.

Song Mo secretly blamed himself.

Which is more important, offspring or Dou Zhao?

Isn't it because the child is Dou Zhaosheng's that he is looking forward to it so eagerly?

If this makes Dou Zhao unhappy, then what's the point?

He asked an elderly maid about this and personally prepared some brown sugar water for Dou Zhao to drink. He also asked her to rest well at home, saying that he had something to do in the next two days and if she was bored, she could invite her Sixth Aunt, Madam Wang and other relatives and friends to come over and chat.

Dou Zhao tried hard to hold back his tears and blamed himself for several days before he recovered. Unexpectedly, he was called by Song Yichun and scolded.

Only then did she know that Song Yichun's marriage with the Wang family had failed. Not only that, Shi Youlan, the younger brother of Marquis Changxing who was in charge of the general affairs of the Marquis's mansion, had personally visited Song Mo, said some warm words, and presented Song Mo with two ancient paintings from the previous dynasty, a pair of chicken-wing wood screens inlaid with jade, a pair of plum bottles from the Ru kiln, and more than twenty pieces of makeup fabrics that were newly produced by Jiangnan this year.

Dou Zhao decided to forgive Song Yichun's roar because of the gift sent by Changxing Marquis' Mansion.

She stood quietly with her hands hanging down, listening attentively to Song Yichun's temper tantrum, but in her heart she was thinking about what gifts she should bring to her aunt and cousin Zhangru, who had not yet returned to the northwest, and her sixth aunt when she would go back to her parents' home to stay for a month.

Song Yichun scolded for a long time before he realized that his daughter-in-law was standing there like a clay sculpture, without any reaction, and he didn't know whether she had heard him or not.

He was immediately furious.

He can't control his son, so how can he not control his daughter-in-law?

"Someone come!" he shouted, "Bring me the family rules! I just can't believe that when I teach my own daughter-in-law a lesson, the people of the Dou family dare to come and make trouble! Aren't they afraid that the daughter they marry will have a reputation of 'disobeying the elders'?"

Dou Zhao was not afraid.

Ever since the incident with Pang Kunbai, when she moved around the inner house, she either brought Su Xin or Su Lan with her, and when she went outside, she always had guards with her.

She stepped back a few steps and said with a smile, "It is right for the father-in-law to teach his daughter-in-law a lesson! We in the Dou family definitely don't stand up for a married girl. But I don't have a mother-in-law. I come to visit you every morning and evening. I just greeted you through the curtain. I don't know what I did to anger the father-in-law? Please tell me clearly. If relatives ask about it in the future, I will have an explanation."

"How dare you talk back?!" Song Yichun slammed the table.

Suddenly, several servants came in from outside.

Dou Zhao was stunned.

Looking at Song Yichun again, his face was also full of surprise.

Several maids quickly surrounded Dou Zhao, and one of them said with a smile: "Please calm down, Duke! As the saying goes, teach your son in front of the hall and teach your wife by your bedside. Even if Madam is wrong, you can wait for the prince to come back and teach him a lesson. Why do you have to do it yourself and ruin your reputation?"

There was even a maid who pulled Dou Zhao out and whispered in his ear: "A good man will not eat the loss in front of him. Madam, please go back to Yizhi Hall!"

He actually came to help Dou Zhao out of trouble.

Dou Zhao was completely confused by the scene, but just as the old woman said, he did not want to suffer such a loss, so he took Su Xin and Su Juan and followed the old woman out of the upper room.

"Rebellion, rebellion!" Song Yichun's roar came from the upper room, "You bitches don't want to live anymore?"

Dou Zhao paused when he heard this.

The maid who was pulling her away had tears in her eyes when she saw this, and hurriedly said, "Madam, we are here to protect you at the order of the prince. Don't worry, the prince has promised us a long time ago that if that day comes, he will never let us down."

Dou Zhao finally felt relieved and quickly left the upper house.

After sending those maids away, Su Xin couldn't help but say, "Madam, the prince treats you so well!"

yes!

Song Mo treated her really well.

Everything was thought of for her in advance, so she didn't have to step in for anything.

I can't always compare him with Wei Tingyu. I should get out of the so-called "experience" and "lessons" of my previous life.

Dou Zhao told Su Xin, "I remember the prince said a few days ago that there is a doctor named Zhu in the Imperial Hospital who is good at gynecology. Go and tell the outer hospital to ask Doctor Zhu to take my pulse and prescribe some health-preserving prescriptions. I need to take good care of myself."

Give Song Mo a healthy child.

Su Xin smiled immediately and went to the outer courtyard happily.

Dou Zhao looked at Su Xin's excited back and started laughing too.

She happily made a list of gifts to take back to her parents' home and handed it to Ganlu.

Song Mo hurried back from outside.

"You didn't suffer any loss, did you?" He looked Dou Zhao up and down, as if he was afraid that she had lost a hair.

"How could I suffer with you here?" Dou Zhao couldn't help but put his arms around Song Mo's waist and snuggled in his arms.

Song Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

Dou Zhao said, "Yan Tang, if we have a child, I will not care about anything else and will only take care of the child wholeheartedly."

"Of course!" It was rare for Dou Zhao to be so interested. Song Mo felt so happy. He kissed Dou Zhao gently and said, "I will ask..." He paused, "ask someone to help you manage the household!"

Dou Zhao chuckled: "Who can you ask to help me manage the household?"

Song Mo tilted his head. For a moment, there was really no suitable candidate.

Dou Zhao whispered a few words in his ear.

Song Mo was surprised: "Really?"

"Yeah!" Dou Zhao smiled, "In October, they will come with Mr. Chen, and you can help take a look then."

Song Mo smiled and said, "You are better at this than I am! Then you can marry Su Lan to Chen He. You will have Su Xin in the inner courtyard and Su Lan in the outer courtyard. This way you can be more relaxed."

"We'll talk about it later!" Dou Zhao said with a smile, "Let's settle Su Xin's marriage first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Xin walked in.

She didn't expect that Dou Zhao and Song Mo would hug each other in the banquet room in broad daylight.

Unable to resist, she uttered an "ouch" and quickly retreated with a red face.

Dou Zhao and Song Mo couldn't help but smile at each other.
