Chapter 873
Huo Zhao nodded slightly: "That's right. This matter is a bit troublesome, but you don't need to think too much about it. In any case, she's now in the inner quarters and won't be as carefree as before."
Le An snorted and said, "That Miss Qi is quite resourceful. She actually made a move at the polo match, causing such a mess and making the young lady suffer!"
Hearing this, Doukou breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could fully relax, she felt a surge of anger: "If I had known she would turn out like this, I might as well have let Ding Yu marry her in the first place."
Huo Zhao couldn't help but laugh: "With your health like this, you still have the mind to fight with her?"
At least she didn't have any children, and Shen Rang only had eyes for her. But Dou Kou was different. If Qi Jing really went to Dou Kou, Dou Kou would definitely be attacked from both sides, and it would be difficult for the child to be born safely.
“Regardless, this matter was ultimately caused by us,” Doukou said. “Miss, we are so sorry to have caused you so much trouble.”
She didn't say anything like that she would definitely help if anything happened in the future.
Because everything she has now originally belonged to Huo Zhao.
Huo Zhao waved his hand and said, "Don't think about it too much. Just focus on taking care of yourself and give birth to the baby first."
"yes."
Huo Zhao asked Liu Pozi a few more questions and, knowing that she was alright, he was relieved: "Le'an, you personally escort Doukou out."
Doukou felt a little apprehensive, but when she met Huo Zhao's seemingly meaningful gaze, she nodded and did not refuse again.
As it turned out, Qi Jing somehow heard the news that Dou Kou had arrived, and she went crazy, waiting for Dou Kou on the only road she would take when leaving the mansion.
Upon seeing Doukou, Qi Jing's eyes reddened, and she looked like a ferocious beast: "You woman, why don't you stay outside and instead come to me to show off your power?!"
"You think you're so great just because you can come and go as you please in this Marquis's mansion? Don't you even know who you are! Someone like you doesn't deserve to set foot on the grounds of this Marquis's mansion!"
Doukou looked completely bewildered.
She was showing off her power?
She was just walking along the road!
Le'an frowned and said, "Auntie, Miss Doukou is the young mistress's guest. You should be careful what you say."
Hearing Le'an mention Huo Zhao, Qi Jing regained some composure: "Miss Le'an, I'm not being disrespectful to the young mistress... Could I speak with this woman alone for a few minutes?"
"cannot."
Le'an finished speaking slowly and deliberately, then gestured for Doukou to follow.
Doukou had only taken a few steps when she heard Qi Jing's voice again: "Doukou, right? I know what you used to do, but I don't know if your husband knows?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Le'an saw Doukou's face turn pale for a moment.
Without further ado, Le'an dared not delay any longer, fearing that Qi Jing might say something even more outrageous, so she quickly took Doukou and left.
When Le'an saw Doukou off from the Prince's mansion and returned, Qi Jing was no longer there.
She hurriedly returned to the main courtyard and told Huo Zhao what had just happened.
Huo Zhao frowned: "...We shouldn't have let Qi Jing see Dou Kou."
Jixiang said, "Regardless of the circumstances, it's a fact that Auntie was disrespectful to your guest. We should detain her and lock her in the courtyard first."
"You go and make the arrangements."
Ji Xiang, having received the order, immediately took his leave.
But Huo Zhao's brows remained furrowed.
Le'an stepped forward and brought her a cup of tea: "Young Madam, Doukou is a smart person. I'll go see her again in a little while and comfort her. Nothing will happen."
Huo Zhao took the teacup and asked, "How do you think Qi Jing knew about Dou Kou's past?"
