Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Faced with his daughter's barrage of questions, Hou Junji did not get angry, but instead patiently explained.

"Haitang, that ungrateful bastard wants to kill our Hou family, so Dad has no choice but to get rid of him."

Hou Haitang shook her head in disbelief: "Dad, I don't believe it. My husband is such an honest man, how could he possibly harm us?"

Her husband was tall and strong, but he was very honest. He was the kind of man who worked hard and was never complaining in the Marquis' Mansion.

Apart from being a gambler, she has no bad record and is very afraid of her father. How could she have the guts to harm the Hou family?

Dad must be making up excuses to fool her.

Seeing his daughter crying louder and louder, Hou Junji's heart softened, and he shouted towards the door.

"Close the door."

After the personal guards outside the door closed the door, they tactfully moved away from the side hall.

Hou Junji walked up to his daughter, wiped away the bean-sized tears from her eyes, and spoke in a low voice.

"My father and the prince had a shady correspondence. This ungrateful person was the one who delivered the letter. Not only did he not destroy the letter, he also hid it all."

"Once these secret letters are exposed, not only Du He and our Hou family, but even the crown prince will be implicated."

His father's words were very cryptic, but the clever Hou Haitang guessed what was going on immediately.

If it is true as my father said, that my husband hid the secret letter, then his death was not unjust at all.

Hou Haitang's expression froze and his face slowly turned pale.

She comes from a noble family and is not the kind of person who is unreasonable and unreasonable.

At first, she questioned her father because she was confused about the cause of her husband's death. Now that she knew the reason, she naturally would not blame her father anymore.

Hou Haitang quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "Father, I was wrong. I shouldn't have spoken to you in such a tone."

Hou Junji's expression eased. He put his hands on his daughter's shoulders and said, "Haitang, wait for dad to find a good husband for you, and then let him be your son-in-law."

"Don't be sad for Helan Chushi, that ungrateful bastard. It's not worth it."

The conversation between the father and daughter made Du He, who was sitting nearby eating melon, almost spit out the wine in his mouth.

So damn ruthless!

What a great guy!

As soon as his son-in-law died, Hou Junji turned around and wanted to introduce a new family to his daughter.

Do you have to be so anxious?

The key point is that Hou Haitang was very angry the previous second, why does she look shy now?

A sad heart heals so quickly?

Considering the original historical trajectory, after he was killed for participating in the failed rebellion, did Princess Chengyang also quickly remarry another person?

Du He's mood now is like a hermit crab moving, it really can't stand it anymore!

"Haitang, do you have a favorite young man? Or what type of person do you like? Your father will find them all for you!" Hou Junji waved his hand and said very proudly.

At this moment, he seemed to have transformed into a crazy man who doted on his daughter.

Hou Haitang glanced at Du He who looked calm and composed, and said in a low voice shyly while covering her face.

"It would be fine if she looked like Du He, gentle, elegant and dignified."

"But we can't be like him, who is idle and has a lot of bad deeds. We need to have substance, be eloquent and well-educated."

This group of second-generation kids basically grew up together with nothing to lose, and they know each other's personalities very well.

Du He is a man who, apart from his good looks, has flaws in everything else.

Moreover, Du Heshang's princess is His Majesty's second daughter. Even if they marry, they will only be concubines.

It also depends on the princess's mood.

Hou Junji also smiled at Du He and nodded in response, "Okay, Dad will find you a new husband according to this standard."

Speechless.

Du He looked at the outspoken father and daughter with a frown on his face, and wanted to knock on the table to remind them.

Are you polite?

I'm still sitting here, don't you have any scruples about saying bad things about me?

People should at least show some respect to each other, right?

...

When leaving Duke Chen's Mansion, Du He's face was as black as the bottom of a pot that had not been cleaned for many years.

This father and daughter are so outrageous.

When discussing choosing a new husband for Hou Haitang, they completely treated him as a negative example.

What is unlearned, idle, and promiscuous?

There isn't a good adjective.

If he had not just formed an alliance with Hou Jun, he might have turned against him on the spot.

So insulting.

When Du He arrived at the East Palace, he saw Li Chengqian drinking sugar water with a young beautiful woman in palace dress and a delicate little boy.

The beautiful woman in palace dress is Crown Princess Su Wan, and the little boy is Li Chengqian’s eldest son Li Jue.

They were talking about something, but they were laughing happily.

It’s just that Li Chengqian seemed a little absent-minded, with a look of worry on his face.

Li Chengqian saw Du He coming in, and waved happily, saying, "Du He, come quickly, the sweet soup that the Crown Princess just made is still hot."

"Greetings to the Crown Prince and Crown Princess." Du He bowed respectfully.

Li Chengqian waved his hand. He and Du He usually got along like friends and there was no need for such false formalities.

"Don't be so polite, Prince Consort Du. You are the prince's right-hand man, and we need you to help him more." Princess Su Wan said softly.

Now my husband's position as crown prince is in jeopardy, and this is when he needs the support of these important officials and their descendants.

"Don't worry, Princess. I will do my best." Du He bowed again.

Du He was also very familiar with this Crown Princess.

Su Wan came from a small aristocratic family. Her father Su Tan was the governor of Taizhou.

Although she came from a humble family, she had a stunning appearance and figure, and her manners were graceful.

This is also the reason why she was chosen by Li Shimin to be the Crown Princess.

Seeing that the two of them seemed to have something to say, Su Wan tactfully found an excuse to leave.

"Prince, Prince Consort, you two can chat first. I'll take Juer out for a walk."

Then Su Wan took Li Jue's hand and said, "Jue'er, mother will take you to the garden to catch butterflies."

"Great." Li Jue stomped his feet happily when he heard that he could go out and play.

After Su Wan and Li Jue left, Li Chengqian's face changed. He put down the exquisite bowl, stood up quickly and asked anxiously.

"How is Du He? Has the letter been destroyed?"

He was always thinking about this matter and had no energy to do anything.

Du He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Prince. All the letters have been destroyed, and Duke Chen has also had Helan Chushi beaten to death."

Then, Du He told Li Chengqian what had happened.

Du He did not mention the subsequent conversation with Hou Junji or the ridicule he received from the father and daughter.

He is the strong-willed second son of the Du family and cannot afford to lose face like this.

"Huh, Du He, it's a good thing you are smart, otherwise we would be in trouble." Li Chengqian felt relieved and didn't care about the death of a traitor like Helan Chushi.

Duke Chen was also very decisive. He killed his own relatives for the sake of justice. If the hidden danger was left, it would cause problems sooner or later.

Du He filled a bowl of sugar water with ease. He had drunk most of a jar of wine, and drinking a bowl of sugar water could help him sober up.

"Your Highness, think carefully, who did you correspond with regarding this matter of treason?"

"Who else knows our plan and has evidence?"

Du He reminded Li Chengqian while eating, so that he wouldn't be asked to clean up the mess later due to omissions.
