"Nothing unexpected." Jin Yue walked out with her grandmother and explained her confusion slowly.
"All wealthy people want to continue their wealth forever. It would be better if they can reach a higher level, and my grandfather is no exception."
Mrs. Lao Hou didn't understand and said anxiously: "You girl, please explain clearly."
"In the Great Chu Kingdom, military generals will serve in office at sixty. My second uncle is forty-three this year. At most, he can support the Hou family for more than ten years."
Mrs. Luo understood, clapped her hands and said with a smile: "My granddaughter is right, it is better to let my grandson be the heir apparent. My grandson is only fourteen this year. If he takes the civil service route, he can support the Hou family for at least fifty years."
Jin Yue smiled: "Grandma said that fifty years is enough to cultivate future generations."
"Hahaha, my granddaughter is still smart."
Jin Yue thought to herself that the Jin family did not want to be slaughtered like in the previous life, and Chu Heng could never be allowed to ascend to the throne of God again!
When the southeast courtyard of the Hou Mansion arrived, Meng heard the movement and looked out anxiously.
Seeing her daughter's figure, tears suddenly flowed out again.
"Mother, please look carefully."
Jin Yue hurried over and wiped her mother's tears with a handkerchief.
Mrs. Hou couldn't stand the daughter-in-law here. The official lady was useless and not as strong as the rural women!
"Yin'er, you were divorced by the King of Jin, what will you do in the future?" Meng couldn't stop crying when she thought of this.
In her previous life, because her mother was in poor health and was bedridden on medicine all the year round, and at the instigation of her second aunt, she felt that her mother was partial to her younger brother, so she didn't like to be close to her mother.
Only after he died did he realize how stupid he had been.
"Okay, don't cry. Our music is so good. Even if we break off the engagement, we can still find someone better." Mrs. Luo was upset when she saw her daughter-in-law like this.
Meng shook her head. Her mother-in-law was born in a rural area and naturally she didn't understand the key.
Who in the world would dare to marry a woman whose engagement was broken off by the prince?
Jin Yue didn't explain much, everyone would know after the marriage decree was issued.
…
The sky is dark, like ink paper dotted with stars.
Outside the Linghua window, there seemed to be a figure mixed in among the dazzling shadows of the trees.
Jin Yue's heart tightened, and just when she was about to call someone, a long sword was quickly pressed against her throat.
A man dressed in black, filled with murderous aura, faced her through the window.
"Come with me."
The man's tone was cold and there was no room for refutation.
Before Jin Yue could speak, someone knocked her unconscious from behind.
There was a "crash" sound.
Jin Yue was woken up by a basin of cold water.
When she opened her eyes, she saw a heroic woman wearing a red outfit and holding a unicorn whip.
"Just you, want to marry my cousin?"
Qin Xueying used the unicorn whip in her hand to lift Jin Yue's beautiful chin.
Jin Yue was still scared a moment ago, but after hearing the woman's words, she instantly calmed down.
She slapped away the insulting Qilin Whip, stood up and said, "You can ask the Emperor about this."
Qin Xueying's eyes sank: "Don't use the emperor to pressure me. I will ask you today? Yes or no?"
"Yes." Jin Yue was not afraid of Qin Xueying's threatening eyes.
"Are you worthy?" Qin Xueying snorted coldly, pointed at Jin Yue's nose with the unicorn whip and said, "Today the princess of Japan will give you a chance to make a new choice and choose another son-in-law."
Princess?
Jin Yue quickly searched his mind for all the information about the princess of Prince Chu's Mansion.
In his previous life, King Chu fell into a coma and died.
Concubine Qin took the initiative to adopt a son to inherit the Prince of Chu's palace. The mother of the child was the princess of the Qin family who was specially canonized.
Thinking of this, her eyes moved slightly and she said, "What if I don't agree?"
Qin Xueying's eyes were fierce and she sneered: "Then go die."
Then, three guards came forward and pointed their crossbows at Jin Yue.
Just when Qin Xueying was so proud and felt that Jin Yue would definitely give up at the risk of her life?
Jin Yue turned around: "Then please ask the commander-in-chief to take action!"
"You..." Qin Xueying's eyes turned red with anger: "I will really kill you."
"My daughter believes it."
"Jin Yue, do you know that King Chu will never wake up in this life?"
"Know."
"Then you will still marry?"
"Otherwise? Will the princess marry?"
Qin Xueying gritted her teeth, she would have been willing to do it before her cousin got into trouble.
But now that her cousin is like a dead person, how can she be willing to remain a widow for the rest of her life?
"Even if I don't want her, I can't give you an advantage and kill her for my princess."
At this moment, the door was kicked open violently.
"King, lord."
"Biao, cousin, have you heard everything?"
Everyone immediately fell to their knees in shock.
He was tall, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes and a straight nose.
The momentum became more and more compelling during the silence, and the figure blocked the candlelight of half a tree beside the wall, like an eagle spreading its wings, with an unparalleled domineering posture.
"Let them go."
Jin Yue met his deep and oppressive eyes.
She moved her lips slightly, but before she could speak, she saw King Chu falling straight down.
Jin Yue's heart lifted as King Chu fell down.
Qin Xueying, who was panicked just now, breathed a sigh of relief, and then gave Jin Yue a fierce look.
Then he followed the crowd and sent King Chu back to the main courtyard where he lived.
Then she felt pain in the back of her neck again and fainted again.
…
The next morning.
As soon as Jin Yue walked into the main hall, he attracted many surprised eyes.
She was born extremely beautiful, a kind of extremely charming beauty.
For a woman, her beauty is very aggressive, and she is enchanting, which men like, and charming, which women hate.
Because Yan Ruoshu always told her that Jinyang Wang Chuheng liked the woman who faded into Baiju the most.
She deliberately covered up her good points with makeup and tried to look as light as possible.
Now, there's no need for that!
Mrs. Hou clapped her hands and said happily: "My Yue'er is so beautiful. In my whole life, I have never seen a woman more beautiful than my granddaughter."
The old Mr. Hou also recovered from the shock, but he was helpless when he saw the old woman who had no image of Mrs. Hou at all.
He said seriously: "This is what women should do, dress up more."
Jin Yue stepped forward and saluted: "My granddaughter has met her grandfather and grandmother."
The second aunt Zhang quickly pulled Jin Yue over affectionately and said, "Girl Yue, my aunt wishes you a happy birthday."
Jin Yue was puzzled.
However, this second aunt has always been good at scheming, so it is certain that she has bad intentions.
Jin Yue followed Zhang's strength and sat down, smiling calmly: "I wonder where the second aunt's happiness comes from?"
"Of course it's your marriage."
