I actually forgot about this incident. After Mrs. Kaiyang Hou secretly confessed her mistake, she asked in a different way: "Why is Miss Chen Er unwilling to marry into Kaiyang Hou Mansion? Is it because the betrothal gift is too small, or is it because Miss Chen already has someone she likes?" "
"There's no reason." Chen Anning said impatiently, "I just don't want to, don't want to!"
Mrs. Kaiyang Hou obviously didn't believe it, but she followed Kaiyang Hou's instructions and did not continue to ask questions aggressively. After drinking tea and calming down for a while, she then asked: "Miss Chen Er, is there any way to help my son recover?"
Chen Anning said flatly: "No."
Mrs. Kaiyang Hou seemed to have known her answer for a long time. As soon as she finished speaking, she followed up and said: "Although Miss Chen Er has no way to make my son recover, if she can take care of my son nearby, I believe that my son will be cured." My body will definitely get better day by day."
"So," Chen Anning looked at her, "Mrs. Hou is planning to forcefully marry me regardless of my wishes?"
"I think Miss Chen Er misunderstood," Mrs. Kaiyanghou pushed away the tea cup, stood up and walked out. After taking two steps, he stopped and said in a rather condescending manner, "Your marriage to my son was decided through the hands of your parents and Kaiyanghou Mansion. I, Kaiyanghou Mansion, will welcome you. If she complies with the six rites, how can she forcefully marry her?"
Chen Anning sat motionless in the chair and watched Mrs. Kaiyang Hou walk to the door before speaking again: "Is there no room for negotiation?"
Mrs. Kaiyang Hou stopped and turned to look at her, "I don't want to have any grudge against Miss Chen Er, but I only have one son. As long as Miss Chen Er is willing to marry into Kaiyang Hou Mansion and take care of my son, any conditions are fine. Just mention it. As long as Kaiyang Hou Mansion can do it, we can satisfy you."
Chen Anning looked at her, "If it weren't for me, the grandson would be gone."
Mrs. Kaiyang Hou covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled: "Yes, if it weren't for Miss Chen Er, my son would be dead. So, this means that Miss Chen Er has a relationship with my son, isn't it? Miss Chen Er's life It has been decided for a long time that you will enter my Kaiyanghou Mansion and marry my son."
Chen Anning also smiled and said, "Mrs. Hou, are you willing to take a step back? As long as you take this step back, I can protect your grandson's life."
Mrs. Kaiyanghou said disapprovingly: "Miss Chen Er, you must be content. If it weren't for the fact that you are a disciple of the miracle doctor and are useful to my son, you would never be able to reach our Kaiyanghou Mansion based on your status. Now, I am not only the elder I highly praised you as the crown prince, but I also chose to turn a blind eye to the dirty things between you and Mr. Xie."
"You need to know each other, we can discuss everything easily."
"If you continue to be ignorant, your sister's fate will most likely be your fate."
Chen Anning raised her eyebrows, "So, there is no room for negotiation at all?"
"Miss Chen Er doesn't think that Mr. Xie will really like you, right?" Mrs. Kaiyang Hou looked her up and down critically and said sarcastically, "Not to mention the Guangling Prince's Palace. For aristocratic families, the bride will only be chosen from aristocratic families with the same family background. As far as Mr. Xie himself is concerned, there are countless noble ladies from noble families in the capital who admire him. Which of these noble ladies from noble families has not been carefully raised and raised?"
Chen Anning looked at her funny, "Mr. Xie really looks down on me as Mrs. Hou said. Mrs. Hou did this again and again, and even stopped me here to warn me in a condescending way. Are you too free to do anything, or are you too full to hold on?"
Mrs. Kaiyang Hou laughed disdainfully, "Miss Chen Er, you think too highly of yourself. I condescend to you, not because I'm worried that Mr. Xie will fall in love with you, but...my son still needs you!"
As if her words were not poisonous enough, Mrs. Kaiyang Hou said again: "Miss Chen Er must have never dreamed that on the day of the Peony Banquet, in order to retaliate against Miss Chen for framing you, you instigated me to take her away from the crown prince. After the concubine is demoted to a concubine, the Chen family will arrange for you to marry into the Kaiyang Marquis Mansion instead of Miss Chen, right?"
Chen Anning nodded, "I really didn't expect it."
I never thought that after rescuing someone, I would be bitten back.
It seems that the principle between the farmer and the snake is not profound enough.
Mrs. Kaiyang Hou mocked, "It's not that I didn't expect it, but those who harm others will eventually harm themselves."
Chen Anning nodded thoughtfully, "Mrs. Hou is right."
"That's all," Mrs. Kaiyang Hou straightened her back slightly and said with great satisfaction, "As long as Miss Chen Er can serve my son well, I don't want to mention these dirty things."
"In that case," Chen Anning put down the tea cup and stood up, "I only have one last question."
Mrs. Kaiyang Hou said generously: "You say."
Chen Anning smiled slightly, "Marquis Kaiyang has a wife and concubines, but why does he only have one child, Prince Sun?"
Mrs. Kaiyanghou immediately turned cold, "This has nothing to do with Miss Chen Er!"
Chen Anning said clearly: "It seems that the problem lies with Marquis Kaiyang."
Mrs. Kaiyanghou said coldly: "What do you want to do!"
"I don't want to do anything." Chen Anning took two steps slowly and then sat back. "I'm just curious. Does Kaiyang Hou sincerely value the grandson, or is he forced to do so because he only has one child? he?"
Mrs. Kaiyang Hou said coldly: "That has nothing to do with you!"
"How could it be irrelevant?" Chen Anning said after a while, "I am a disciple of the miracle doctor. If I marry into the Kaiyang Marquis Mansion, I will be a member of the Kaiyang Marquis Mansion. Naturally, everything will be done with the Kaiyang Marquis Mansion in mind. In his current state, Prince Sun is obviously no longer able to take on the important responsibilities of the Kaiyang Marquis Mansion, and I don’t think I have the ability to take on the responsibility of a manor.”
"So I thought about it a lot, and the only way to solve this problem is to let Kaiyang Marquis bloom again and multiply a few more bloodlines for Kaiyang Marquis Mansion."
"How dare you!" It was about her own interests. Mrs. Kaiyang Hou didn't care about Kaiyang Hou's instructions. She hurried back and raised her hand to hit Chen Anning.
After being stopped by Chun Rui, she yelled unwillingly, "You are my son's eldest concubine. You don't think about everything for him, but you do everything you can to destroy him. You vicious woman, aren't you afraid of retribution!"
"You are not afraid of retribution even when you are ungrateful. What do you have to fear from me?" Chen Anning sneered, "Moreover, as Mrs. Kaiyang Hou, you don't think about the future of Kaiyang Hou Mansion, but selfishly only want to protect it. Even if there is retribution for your son's interests, it will definitely be repaid to you first."
"If anything happens, we can discuss it carefully." Aunt Zhou stepped forward at the right time to smooth things over and said, "Besides, Miss Chen Er doesn't even know what the condition of Mr. Marquis is. Whether it can be cured or not, he is still a human being. The unknown.”
That’s right!
When Kaiyang Hou was young, he fell from his horse during a horse racing competition and injured his lifeblood.
From then on, I couldn't do what I wanted.
Fortunately, she was already pregnant with the grandson at that time, so the Kaiyang Hou Mansion was not destroyed.
This cheap maid couldn't even heal her son's injury, so how could she heal Marquis Kaiyang?
Mrs. Kaiyang Hou's expression instantly changed from gloomy to clear following Grandma Zhou's reminder.
Chen Anning smiled and said, "If it can be cured, let's give it a try. Anyway, as far as I am concerned, there is not much loss. It just depends on whether Mrs. Hou dares to gamble with the future of the grandson."
