"Sir, what did you say?"
A lady-in-waiting who was over fifty years old looked at her husband in shock. She couldn't believe what she just heard.
"I said the Holy Spirit will grant marriage to our daughter."
Marquis Yong'an stroked his beard and said again helplessly. God knows he was also shocked when he heard the news. He never thought that recruiting him into the palace today would be the matter.
He understands very well in his heart, but because he understands so well, it is even more difficult for him to do it. If he is not careful, he will be doomed. You can imagine how he feels at this moment.
My daughter is a widow who has returned home, how can she marry someone else, and how can the other person's identity be worthy of my daughter?
You want others to know about it, and you don’t want others to dig up your ancestral grave!
"But our daughter's identity..."
Everyone knew what Mrs. Hou said. She looked at her husband with a sad expression. Of course she loved her daughter. Fortunately, her family was somewhat of a powerful family.
Even if my daughter goes home to live, she won’t bother anyone. My son and daughter-in-law don’t have any objections. Even my grandson likes his aunt very much.
But if she remarries someone else with this status, how can she not be worried as a mother!
"Hey! Of course the Holy One knows, do you know who the other party is? Forget it, I'll go out first and then talk about it."
Marquis Yong'an sighed at the end. If he wanted to see the King of War first, he must at least let the other party know his attitude, so as not to offend him.
He even regrets a little now that he shouldn't have told his wife before the matter was clear, but he couldn't do anything about it.
After a few casual words of comfort, he took his entourage and left the house.
Mrs. Hou could only cry secretly, praying in her heart that her husband would resolve the matter this time when he went out.
Because they kicked out all the servants when they told the story, no one else in the house knew about it.
Shizhu came in from outside and told his master, "I'm waiting to see you in Yong'an."
"What did you say? That old guy is quite smart."
When Cheng Rui heard this, he rolled his eyes and muttered disdainfully.
"Then let him in."
Chu Xuanhong glanced at Chen Rui and said, the other people had different expressions, and they were all guessing what the other party wanted to do when he came to the door this time.
"Marquis Yong'an has met the prince! I've met Mr. Little An, and I've met Divine Doctor Jian and the two young masters."
After Yong'an came in, he greeted several people politely, and then sat obediently in another free seat.
Naturally, Cheng Rui and the others would not offend each other. They returned the greetings one by one and then returned to their seats.
Yong'anhou only felt bitter in his heart. He never expected that these people would gather together. The key was to let him catch up. If he said it was okay, he was not a fool, and he couldn't deceive the other party.
But speaking of this matter to so many people would put her daughter's face at risk.
"It's not easy for Yong'an Hou to come here. Since you're already here, just tell me if you have anything to do."
Chu Xuanhong was also guessing in his mind what the other party's purpose was for coming here this time, whether he wanted to promote an engagement or something else.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty! I really don't know anything about today's events. It's impossible for the Holy One not to know about my little girl's situation. Your Majesty, we will never dare to deceive you.
The only daughter in the family has been married for a long time and is a widow returning home. How can she be worthy of the prince?
But when I was summoned to the palace today, I just listened to the announcement outside the royal study. After Eunuch Cao announced the edict, he asked me to leave the palace directly. Before and after, I didn't say a word except that the announcement was true.
After returning home, I felt that something was wrong, so I hurriedly came over to apologize and hope that the prince would forgive me. "
Marquis Yong'an spoke innocently and sincerely. As he spoke, he knelt on the ground and expressed his attitude with actions.
For a moment, the sound of pindrops could be heard in the room, and only the tea in the cup was slowly steaming.
Chu Xuanhong didn't answer, but picked up the tea bowl on the table, and the tea lid scratched the tea surface.
The tea lid and tea bowl collided together inadvertently, occasionally making a crisp sound. This sound seemed to have magic power and hit Yong Anhou's heart directly.
A drop of sweat fell from his forehead, and Yong'an Hou did not dare to wipe it. After a while, sweat covered his forehead, and it seemed that there was no end to the drops.
"I know, you can just go back."
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty! Yong'an Marquis Mansion will definitely follow Your Majesty's lead in the future."
At this moment, Marquis Yong'an seemed to have received a pardon, and his eyes were red with excitement. Originally, given his status, he could not kneel down to him.
But now he kept kowtowing, looking at Cheng Rui next to him and having a toothache.
Chu Xuanhong stopped talking and just waved his hand to indicate that the other party could retreat.
Only then did Marquis Yong'an get up from the ground with gratitude, bowed to several other people in the room, and then exited the room.
I was worried when I came here and predicted the outcome of many things, but I didn't expect to be let go so easily. It would be a lie to say I'm not grateful.
At the same time, he also thought that it would be better for his daughter to leave here. Anyway, as long as he sent money there every month, he believed that his daughter would not have a difficult life.
At worst, if we prepare a few more shops for her, she won't have to rely on her family in the future.
Yong'an Hou thought about it and felt that his steps were much lighter.
"Come on! We have thought of so many ways, but this old guy comes to plead for mercy. What else can we do?"
After Cheng Rui waited for the other party to leave, he crossed his legs and said sarcastic words with a relaxed look on his face, not at all like he was trying to settle a score with someone just now.
Everyone else rolled their eyes at him and pretended not to notice. Those who drank tea drank tea, and those who thought about problems continued to think about problems.
Tao Yaoyao didn't know this. After returning to her yard, she sent Chun Xing out for the guards to take with her. She went to the drug store to exchange seeds for various medicinal materials. If the drug store didn't have them, she went to the rural medicine farmers to exchange them.
Anyway, when she has nothing to do, she sends people far away, and never comes back in a day and a half.
Because this way she can enter the space and practice well.
Chun Xing went out to do errands for several days in a row. Today Chun Xing went out and came back with a piece of news for her.
This news surprised Tao Yaoyao.
"Don't believe it! I really heard what people said. Our prince was scolded by the Holy Father today. I heard that he got so angry that he even smashed a cup.
When the slave came back and passed the front door just now, he found that the prince's carriage was also there. He must have returned to the house.
Would you like to send me some snacks and some juice? "
Chun Xing is no longer the same as when she first came here. Because she often goes out and wanders around, she also hears some words.
So she also wanted to make the little master she served feel more favored, so she came up with the idea.
Tao Yaoyao glanced at the other party speechlessly, put the fruits that Manager Liu had sent today on the table, and said softly:
"Don't you think I didn't die quickly enough? You knew that the prince was being scolded, but you still asked me to come closer. Isn't this just being used as a punching bag?"
