Chapter 329 By Chance

In her past and present lives, what Dou Zhao longed for most was to have a home of her own. For this reason, she was even excited to marry Wei Tingyu in her previous life. Putting herself in Su Xin's shoes, she naturally did not want Su Xin to spend all her energy on taking care of her daily life.

"No need." She unconsciously placed her hand on her belly. "When Suxin and Sulan's marriage is settled, let them move out and live alone! When you are free, just come and see me." Then she talked to Song Mo about adding people. "I have asked the daughter-in-law of the head of the Daxing farm to go to the farm in Daxing and pick a few people to bring back while Suxin is not busy these days."

If she is really pregnant, the fetal position will be unstable in the first three months, and she needs to rest well.

These are all trivial matters, and Song Mo naturally obeys Dou Zhao in everything.

Dou Zhao sent someone to take a letter to the farm in Daxing, and scheduled to go to the farm in Daxing to select someone on November 21st.

It happened that Zhao Liangbi's parents got the news and rushed to Kyoto from Zhending to discuss Zhao Liangbi's marriage with Chen Qushui. Su Xin blushed with shame and ordered people to prepare a carriage to go to the farm in Daxing early in the morning. In order to save face for Su Xin, Dou Zhao asked Song Mo's coachman to drive Song Mo's carriage to take Su Xin to Daxing, and he met Zhao Liangbi's mother.

Zhao Liangbi's current status was all thanks to Dou Zhao's support. Now, his most trusted maid was betrothed to Zhao Liangbi. Zhao Liangbi's mother was extremely grateful to Dou Zhao and knelt down to kowtow to him as soon as she entered the room.

Dou Zhao hurriedly stepped forward and took Zhao's mother with him: "We are all from Cuijiazhuang, Madam Zhao, please don't be polite to me, just treat us as a family."

Perhaps it was because Zhao Liangbi was taken in by his grandmother in advance, not only was there one less person's expenses, but there was also the monthly allowance from the Dou family, plus Dou Zhao's occasional rewards, so the Zhao family had extra money to hire doctors and medicine for Zhao's mother, and Zhao's mother's illness gradually got better.

She was an honest woman, and faced with Dou Zhao, who was graceful and somewhat dashing, she murmured and could not raise her head. Dou Zhao took the initiative to chat with her about family matters, asking about the crops this year and whether the children in the family had raised a few pigs and chickens. Seeing that Dou Zhao spoke kindly and considerately, Zhao's mother finally calmed down and began to answer Dou Zhao's questions.

Chen Qushui talked even better.

According to Zhao Liangbi's father, Zhao Liangbi had not only made great progress but also gained experience during his years in the Dou family. Therefore, it was up to Zhao Liangbi to decide on his own marriage. The amount of the betrothal gift, where to build the new house, and where to hold the wedding were all decided by the two old men without any objection.

Only then did Zhao Liangbi know that Dou Zhao wanted to marry Su Xin to him.

The dream of many years came true. He was overwhelmed with emotions and his eyes were so wet that he couldn't see clearly what was in front of him. He wished he could see Su Xin immediately to see Su Xin's expression after she knew the news.

Is she happy or disappointed?

Was she looking forward to this marriage as much as he was? Or did she agree to it only out of consideration for the relationship?

Zhao Liangbi stood anxiously under the veranda outside Chen Qushui's room.

Chen Qushui and Zhao's father, whose face was full of wrinkles and whose body was hunched, walked out.

Seeing Zhao Liangbi, Zhao's father laughed and couldn't help saying, "No wonder you refused to accept the daughter of a certain family no matter whose daughter your mother and I told you about. You prefer daughters of other families!"

Father Zhao had met Su Xin before.

At that time, I felt that Su Xin was not only good-looking and well-behaved, but also smart and capable. I wondered which family would be lucky enough to marry her.

I didn't expect that I would become their daughter-in-law.

Until now, I still feel like I am dreaming.

Zhao Liangbi walked up to his father with a red face.

Father Zhao politely waved to Chen Qushui and said, "Please go inside and have a rest. I will discuss the child's marriage with his mother and will never let down another girl."

Chen Qushui smiled and nodded, then saw Zhao and his son out.

Mother Zhao, accompanied by Ganlu, was waiting for Zhao and his son at the gate of Chen Qushui's courtyard.

When the family met, Zhao Liangbi was too embarrassed to raise his head, while the Zhao couple exchanged a few words with Chen Qushui and Ganlu, and then returned to Zhao Liangbi's room in Yizhitang.

Chen Qushui went to Dou Zhao and told him what had happened: "…the old couple were very happy. They heard that they were going to arrange a marriage for Liangbi, so they took out the eighty-odd taels of silver that they had saved at home. They were going to ask an official matchmaker to come over to propose the marriage this afternoon."

Dou Zhao smiled after hearing this, called Gao Xing's wife in, and asked her to help invite an official matchmaker over.

The news that Su Xin was going to marry Zhao Liangbi could not be kept secret and spread.

Although Song Yichun's condition improved significantly, his mood did not improve and he still lay sick in bed.

Therefore, no one in Xiangxiang Court dared to tell Song Yichun about Suxin's marriage proposal. However, Song Mo rushed back from Wucheng Military Headquarters early and asked about the progress of the marriage proposal.

"It went very smoothly." Dou Zhao couldn't help but smile sweetly. "Mrs. Zhao is very sensible. She let Su Xin live with Zhao Liangbi in Kyoto after getting married. I plan to buy a small house with three entrances and three rooms for Su Xin as a dowry." As she spoke, she thought of Su Lan and added, "Buy one for Su Lan, Gan Lu, and Su Jun as well."

In their previous life, Ganlu and Sujun suffered a lot because of her. In this life, she wanted them to live the life they wanted.

Song Mo smiled and said, "You are very generous, but you let all the maids in the room go. What will you do with your room in the future?"

Learning rules and regulations is not something that can be learned in a day or two, and one also has to learn to read people's expressions. It was even more difficult to read Dou Zhao's face.

"Take your time!" Dou Zhao sighed, "Anyway, there's still no sign of Ganlu and Sujun's marriage!"

She leaned on the big pillow somewhat tiredly.

Song Mo touched her forehead with concern and asked her softly, "Is there something wrong? You don't look well."

Dou Zhao couldn't help but touch her face and said, "Maybe I didn't sleep well last night!" After saying this, she suddenly felt that she was really tired.

No wonder people say that the mind creates the environment. I just suspected that I might be pregnant and started to feel uncomfortable. Why didn't I feel like this in my previous life?

She muttered to herself and asked Song Mo, "Should I ask the maids to serve the meal?"

"Okay!" Song Mo's eyes never left her face, and there was some worry in his voice. "You have lunch, take a good rest. The Queen asked me to go to the palace this afternoon. I will try to come back early to accompany you."

Dou Zhao sat up straight with some nervousness after hearing this and asked, "What does the Queen want to talk to you about?"

She had been thinking about Queen Wan asking Song Mo to deliver something to Prince Liao.

"I don't know yet." Song Mo is very cautious and won't say anything unless he is absolutely sure.

Dou Zhao reminded him: "If you are asked to deliver something to King Liao, you must not go." She pulled Song Mo's sleeve as if possessed by a ghost, "I don't feel well. Don't go..."

Song Mo was stunned.

Dou Zhao, who was speaking, was also stunned.

She actually flirted with Song Mo coquettishly...

For a moment, Dou Zhao's face felt hot.

Song Mo's eyes were full of smiles. He kissed her cheek gently and whispered, "Okay, I won't go. I'll stay at home with you."

In her two lives, she had never been so coquettish.

She felt hot all over her body, and wanted to tell him that she didn't want to keep him at home with her, but she didn't want him to get too close to Queen Wan and Prince Liao. She had never forgotten how Prince Liao manipulated Song Mo in his previous life. But when the words came to her lips, she felt that it was very unpleasant to say so, so she swallowed them.

Song Mo's ears turned red as he looked at her. He thought that no matter how generous Dou Zhao was, she was a woman after all. If he answered incorrectly and annoyed her, she would be serious about everything she did in the future. This would inevitably reduce the fun between the couple. Therefore, he did not dare to joke with Dou Zhao. He just pretended not to see anything and shouted to the maid to serve lunch.

Dou Zhao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The maids brought in the kang table.

Gan Lu rushed in rashly and just called out "Madam" when she looked up and saw Song Mo. She knelt hurriedly to salute Song Mo and called out "Prince".

Dou Zhao asked hurriedly: "What happened?"

Gan Lu said anxiously, "Sister Su Xin was robbed on the way to the farm in Daxing. Fortunately, she had a few guards around her and met Lord Chen from the Jinyiwei. She was able to turn the danger into a blessing..."

Before she finished her words, Song Mo and Dou Zhao's expressions changed.

Su Xin rode in Song Mo's carriage and used Dou Zhao's guards.

Song Mo's face darkened immediately. Gan Lu asked, "Where is Su Xin?"

"She was instructing the maid to help the injured Ruodan and Ruozhu to the back room."

Ruodan and Ruozhu are two second-class maids in Dou Zhao's house. Suxin feels that these two maids are very stable and has been keeping them by her side and giving them careful guidance these days. This trip to the farm in Daxing is also intended to broaden the two maids' horizons.

Dou Zhao and Song Mo went to the back room where the maids rested with serious expressions.

Ruodan and Ruozhu, one had a broken head and the other had a broken left arm. Both had been bandaged and were lying on their beds with pale faces, still showing some shock.

Seeing Dou Zhao coming in, the two of them struggled to sit up.

"You lie down." Dou Zhao stopped the two maids and asked Su Xin, who had a heavy expression, "What is going on?"

Su Xin's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness, and she said in a deep voice: "I don't know what happened. We got out of the city gate smoothly, and when we were less than fifty miles away from the farm, the horse was suddenly startled and the carriage overturned on the side of the road. Several guards rushed forward to check, and suddenly a group of masked men in black clothes emerged from the woods, drew their swords and slashed at us.

Those guys were very skilled, their attacks were powerful, and they were caught off guard; guards Zhou and Huang were all injured.

We were gradually outnumbered. By chance, Chen Jiachen, a member of the Jinyiwei Zhenfu Division, passed by and saved us, and also captured two criminals. I didn't dare to go any further, so I asked Chen Jiachen to take us back to the mansion. Chen Jiachen was very kind and not only escorted us all the way, but also asked a doctor to bandage the wounds of Zhou Huwei and others after we entered the city. "

Su Xin said this and glanced at Dou Zhao with a complicated expression.

The tacit understanding cultivated over the years allowed Dou Zhao to immediately understand Su Xin.

There is an inside story behind this matter.

Chen Jia's appearance was too coincidental.

Dou Zhao remained calm, comforted Ruodan and Ruozhu, and left the back room.

Su Xin followed him out.

Dou Zhaochao winked at Song Mo who was waiting outside.

The three of them went to the study together.
