Mrs. Xu, who was still lying in bed to rest, heard about Meng Hetong's proposal to Xu Qingmo. He quickly got up and went to find Marquis Ning Yuan, but he didn't expect that Marquis Ning Yuan and Xu Yanquan already knew about it.
"You have known for a long time that the boy from the Meng family is plotting something against Mo Mo. Why didn't you stop him and let Mo Mo play polo with him?" Mrs. Xu was furious for a moment, "Now the matter has come to the Queen's side. In front of me, if the Queen nods, it will be regarded as a marriage, and then the marriage will be finalized!"
Zhengyang on the side was also a little anxious: "Meng Hetong has been a dandy for many years. He is nothing like Fireworks and Liuxiang without his confidante. He is just a playboy. My father, because of the matter of Xian Yongchanghou, was very hostile to the Meng family. Feeling guilty, if, if someone with a weak heart agrees, then Mo Mo will regret it even if he goes back on it!"
"I knew that he wanted to marry Mo Mo, but I didn't expect that he would dare to go directly to the Queen to marry him, and in front of so many people!" Xu Yanquan's face was full of helplessness, "If it weren't for Qi The prince is helping to relieve the siege, I am afraid that this boy will not give up until he forces the queen to agree to this marriage today!"
Ning Yuanhou looked at the anxious Mrs. Xu and sighed softly: "That boy from the Meng family was indeed a bastard in the early years, but he has indeed improved a lot recently. We can't blame him for what he did before. Wrong, just bite on now and won’t let go!”
Mrs. Xu looked at Ning Yuanhou in disbelief: "Master Hou, do you mean that you are optimistic about this marriage?"
Marquis Ning Yuan was silent for a long time, then nodded: "In terms of wealth, background, talent and skills, there is no one better than this guy in the capital!"
Madam Xu disagreed: "There are so many young men in the capital, why can't we find a better man than that boy from the Meng family?"
"Mom, Meng Hetong was indeed ridiculous for a while because he suffered some stimulation when he was young, but we can't just be worried about it just because he was ignorant and made some mistakes!" Xu Yanquan took a look. Mrs. Xu said helplessly.
Mrs. Xu frowned, looked at Xu Yanquan, and then at Marquis Ning Yuan: "What, you two have been bribed by him?"
"He received a beating from me and was really injured. Today he still tried his best to win the lottery! I can see that she is sincere to Mo Mo!" Xu Yanquan sighed softly. Take a breath.
Marquis Ningyuan glanced at Mrs. Xu, and then said: "No matter what, Mo Mo must decide this matter by himself. If she doesn't nod, even if His Majesty issues an imperial edict, I will not let Mo Mo marry him." !”
Mrs. Xu pursed her lips and remained silent.
After a long time, Aunt Xu sighed deeply: "Have you ever visited Mo Mo since you came back from the paddock?"
"Mo Mo doesn't want to see anyone now. He is hiding in the house alone. Hua Ying said that he went in and looked and found that he was already asleep!" Princess Zhengyang said softly.
Mrs. Xu originally thought of looking at Xu Qingmo and asking her what she was thinking, but Zhengyang said that Xu Qingmo was already asleep now, and he was probably just upset, but there was no need for her to trouble her at this time. .
The incident between Xu Qingmo and Meng Hetong spread a lot in the capital that day. The Xu family and the Meng family closed their doors one after another as if they had made an agreement, and kept silent about the matter. Occasionally, some good people came to inquire, but they were all People blasted out.
When Mrs. Meng knew that Meng Hetong proposed marriage to Xu Qingmo in front of the Queen, she rushed directly to Meng Hetong's yard and kept slapping his arm: "Are you sick? Are you sick? Are you so Come on, how difficult are you putting a young girl in trouble, huh?"
"Then what should I do?" Meng Hetong was beaten by Mrs. Meng until she grinned, "Then Wang Gongjin said in front of me that he wanted to marry her, and I just watched helplessly?"
Mrs. Meng chased Meng Hetong and slapped her for a long time. Finally, she was so tired that she let out a long sigh: "Then you can't be like this. My daughter's family is thin-skinned. If you make such a fuss, she will naturally be full of joy. But if she doesn’t want to, then aren’t you putting her in a difficult position?”
Meng Hetong touched his nose: "But I don't have any other better way!"
Mrs. Meng looked at Meng Hetong for a long time, and finally poked his head with helplessness: "You, if you had known this, why did you do it in the first place?"
Meng Hetong said nothing, just looking down at his toes, just like he did when he made mistakes as a child, lowering his head and looking at his toes without saying a word.
"Tomorrow, I'll go see Mrs. Xu!" Mrs. Meng looked at Meng Hetong's appearance and said helplessly.
Meng Hetong cautiously raised his head and looked at Mrs. Meng: "Aren't you afraid of being kicked out by Mrs. Xu?"
"Then what can I do? I only have a son like you. I can't watch you be a bachelor for the rest of your life!" Mrs. Meng's face was filled with helplessness. "But you have to tell me the truth. What do you think, Miss Xu, is to you?" Do you have any other meaning?"
Meng Hetong thought for a long time, then touched his nose: "I don't know!"
Mrs. Meng frowned: "I don't know what's going on. This little girl actually has no idea about you at all. It's just your own wishful thinking!"
"Probably not, today... Anyway, she should still have some feelings for me, but I don't know what kind of feelings they are!" Meng Hetong touched his nose, his face full of confusion.
Mrs. Meng was silent for a long time, and finally she could only nod helplessly: "I understand!"
After Mrs. Meng left, Meng Hetong tossed and turned in the room. Finally, he stood upright and jumped up from the bed. Then he avoided Yu Sheng in the outer courtyard and sneaked out of the Yongchang Hou Mansion alone.
Meng Hetong was walking alone in the cold streets. Occasionally, patrols passed by. When they saw Meng Hetong, they just thought that he was going to enter the Cloud Pavilion and would not stop him, so he slowly and leisurely walked to the Ningyuan Hou Mansion alone.
The door of Ningyuan Hou Mansion was closed tightly. Meng Hetong looked at the vermilion door, a little confused. He was now a little scared. He was afraid that if he did this, he would never have the chance to see Xu Qingmo again, but he also understood that if , if he doesn't express his feelings, Xu Qingmo will eventually become someone else's wife.
He would rather never see her again than let her slip away from his hands.
