Chapter 48: Private decision for life
The cold wind howled outside the window, and the windproof door curtain crackled as it blew.
Xie Fengyue seemed to have been drained of all her strength, half paralyzed and half kneeling, tears falling to the ground like broken beads: "Didn't my mother tell my father that I'm not a fool?"
"My father gave me such a precious He family hairpin, and he came to see me as soon as he returned home after a long journey. Is this the proper attitude towards a named legitimate daughter?"
She did not forget to put eye drops on Mrs. Xie and continued: "Mrs. Xie bullied me like that. Is this the proper attitude towards a registered legitimate daughter who has nothing to do with her?"
Taifu Xie was silent for a long time: "I knew she would be sorry for you, so I rushed back to Xie County as soon as I finished my business in the court, thinking of finally getting you married." These words were a disguised admission of Xie Fengyue's guess. .
As if she heard something funny, she laughed softly: "Does my father think that he can make up for his absence from my life by simply sending me off to get married?"
Seeing that her tearfully accusing look gradually overlapped with Liu Er's original look, Taifu Xie was already in a mess. He blurted out, "Of course not, that's why I sent you to Wu Palace."
Xie Fengyue's eyes flashed, and it turned out that her suspicion was so simple. Marrying Wu Gong was not just about replacing Xie Fengyu.
Taifu Xie glanced at Young Master Yan, who was silent at the side: "Your mother asked me to plan your marriage to Wu Palace. If you don't want to marry me now, it's just because you are still young. You will definitely be happy in the future. "What he said was unclear, but his face was determined.
Xie Fengyue pursed her lips and raised her head, her eyes passing over Gongzi Yan beside her.
Gongzi Yan suddenly had goosebumps all over his body. He had an ominous premonition that this girl had a black heart again.
"Gongzi Yan and I have made a lifelong commitment, and I hope my father will fulfill it."
Taifu Xie was furious when he heard this. He had already told her that as long as she married to Wu Palace, her life would be smooth, but she still used this kind of thing to embarrass him.
"You are the daughter of my Xie family in Chen County, but you only had a lover before marriage. What will happen if the people in Wu Palace find out about it? You can just prepare for the marriage with peace of mind."
Young Master Yan looked at his nose and heart and knew whether he should speak at this time. He didn't know if this girl had any back-up plans. If he interrupted her plan by speaking hastily, he would just stand there to avoid being ignored again. Be a silent background beside her.
Xie Fengyue knelt straight and looked directly at Taifu Xie: "Then I will be with Young Master Yan before I marry to Wu Palace!"
Taifu Xie was suspicious: "You won't run away again."
Xie Fengyue bit her lip: "My father has made it so clear to his children. How can I not sympathize with my father? I just don't want to go back home to face Mrs. Xie."
Now that the conversation was out of the way, Xie Fengyue no longer behaved like a thief and a mother. She expressed her position by calling Mrs. Xie directly.
Mr. Xie pondered for a moment, thinking about it.
The madam has indeed gone too far. Today, the government soldiers came to visit a fugitive. I don't know what order she gave. What's more, in the past days when he was away, Yue'er must have been punished by her.
"If you don't want to go back, don't go back. But you have to go back home on the tenth day of the second lunar month. There are still five days left, which is enough for you to say goodbye to Young Master Yan."
"Why?" The background board on the side suddenly asked.
Taifu Xie coughed slightly in embarrassment: "Master An personally came to Chen County to greet his father."
"Wu Qi'an? Will he come?" Wang Yan said sarcastically.
Young Master An is currently busy consolidating his power, so why would he come to Chen County to welcome his bride, unless the new emperor that the Xie family wants to support is this Young Master An. Then isn't it just for him to welcome the bride?
The Xie family supported the Kingdom of Wu to fight against the Emperor of Zhou. Now that the King of Wu was old, Xie Fengyue married in as Mrs. Ji, who was not Queen Wu anyway. When the time comes when the King of Wu dies again, Prince An can marry Xie Fengyue with the support of the Xie family. It turns out that this is what this family had in mind. They are really brave.
Gongzi Yan had a cold face, but he didn't know how to argue, so he could only pretend to be unaware.
Although Xie Fengyue didn't know as much as he did, she still bit her lip and asked: "Isn't Mr. An the fifth son of King Wu? Logically speaking, it is the Prince Wu who should come to welcome the bride."
She had long known about the mutiny in Wu Palace from Young Master Yan, but King Wu still had so many sons, and just controlling the military power in the palace would be a drop in the bucket. She asked questions directly if she didn't understand. Even if Taifu Xie didn't know, Young Master Yan must be able to tell something from the few words he said.
Taifu Xie waved his robe: "Don't worry about these things. Since Wu Gong sent Young Master An here, they must have their reasons."
Xie Fengyue pursed her lips and said coquettishly: "My daughter just feels that the Wu Palace does not pay enough attention to the Xie family. Our daughter of the Xie family in Chen County is getting married to a feudal country. They don't even come to the Crown Prince Wu, but only to have a son named An."
Taifu Xie's expression softened a lot, and his tone became more kind: "Young Master An is also from a wealthy family. He is much more valuable than Prince Wu. You just need to settle down and get married. You don't need to worry about these things. You will be crowned with beauty on the day you get married." Shili Hongzhuang, my father has given you much more than Yuer.”
After he finished speaking, he acted like a loving father and stepped forward to help Xie Fengyue, who was kneeling: "You have to remember, whether you sympathized with me before you got married, that was all because of the confidence given by the Xie family, but after you get married, everything will be different." Don't have any contact with others anymore." He looked at Gongzi Yan with a vague look and said.
Xie Fengyue pursed her lips and nodded lightly.
Taifu Xie turned to Young Master Yan again and said: "My son will be entrusted to you these days. She has not been with me since she was a child. Now her mother is thousands of miles away. You should treat her well."
Gongzi Yan raised his eyebrows and saluted proudly: "I will definitely treat her well."
After such a commotion early in the morning, Xie Fengyue and Gongzi Yan both had weak appetites, and neither of them moved their chopsticks while looking at the delicious food on the table.
Young Master Yan waved his hand, signaling everyone who was following him to leave.
All the servants filed out.
Songshan stood still, and Young Master Yan flew towards him with an eye knife. He pointed at himself inexplicably: "Do I want to go out too?"
Seeing that Lang Jun looked unkind, Songshan slapped him in the face and said, "Okay, Lang Jun, please use it slowly."
When I went out, I also picked up the broken branches lying beside me.
The room fell into silence.
The slender jade hands stretched out in front of him were like spring flowers lying on water: "I won't thank you husband today, so as not to bore you." Xie Fengyue picked up a piece of crispy meat and placed it on his bowl and plate and said softly.
Wang Yan's eyebrows stretched, and he smiled suddenly. He crossed his hands in front of his chest, lightly closed his fingers on his mouth, and said lazily: "I'm really tired of hearing, why don't you take some practical actions to repay me."
Xie Fengyue was quite frightened by his appearance. Why didn't this man look like a humble gentleman just now? Then I remembered that he had sent everyone out, and I felt anxious and angry, "Could he have some evil intentions towards her!"
