Chapter 181 To Dedicate Yourself
Chapter 181 Dedicate yourself
The white snow is light, like poplar flying, and the sight is white.
The boy with half his body stretched out from the carriage had a little snow dyed with his eyes and eyelashes, making him look colder.
His eyes fell on Xiao Jingcheng.
Xiao Jingcheng nodded to him gently.
Xue Mei was curious and looked at the boy again, but the other party didn't look at Xue Mei.
"Oh, I'm not a guest from the Hou Mansion, I'm here to find King Rui." Xue Mei thought to herself.
Xiao Jingcheng did not introduce the boy, but said to Xue Mei: "I'll go back first. If anyone makes things difficult for you to withdraw from the marriage, tell me."
Xue Mei laughed and cried: "Okay."
Xiao Jingcheng got into the boy's carriage, lifted up the curtain and looked at Xue Mei again, as if he was reluctant to leave.
Xue Mei waved her hand at him and turned back first.
The carriage left the gate of the Hou Mansion, and Xue Mei then stood still, stood in the threshold and looked over there.
She planned to return to Huining Garden, but met Yongning Hou halfway.
The Marquis of Yongning didn't want to pay attention to her, but seeing that King Rui was so enthusiastic about her, I still don't know what the situation was. If she had a good fortune in the future and became Prince Rui's concubine, it would be amazing.
Don't offend her.
This daughter still has a slightly blunt look, but she is different. She even walks lazy, elegant and noble.
She has been timid since she was a child and seems particularly useless, and her eyebrows are becoming more and more disliked.
Now look at her carefully. She has the mole on her eyebrows and a red cloak, which is actually quite beautiful.
"Come to the study room, I have something to tell you." said Yongning Hou.
Xue Mei said oh, not caring about it.
She walked with Yongning Hou and went to his study.
After sitting down, the servant served tea, and the Marquis of Yongning began to scold her.
"...You and your brother will make a decision if you make a fuss about quitting your bride, and you won't tell me." Yongning Hou got straight to the point.
Xue Mei didn't speak, wanting to hear what he had to say.
After listening for a while, Xue Mei only heard two meanings:
"The Wen family cursed us at the beginning, and they were humble. There was nothing wrong with your birth date. Now you are the county lord. If you can find them a mistake, you don't have to pay the 50,000 taels of silver."
First of all, if you want to swallow the Wen family’s betrothal gift, even the money will be won by Xue Mei.
"Your sister is about to be the chief concubine of Prince Yu. At this critical moment, you were quit by the Wen family, and what hurts our entire Marquis' mansion.
If you do this, not only will my face be lost, but your sister will be dragged down. Is it not good for you to have a princess' sister? Why are you so unwilling to take the overall situation into consideration? Even if you don't like the Wen family, wait for Yutan to decide."
Secondly, it hurts Yongning Hou's face and touches Xue Yutan's cake.
Xue Mei was not upset at all after hearing these bullshits.
She slowly drank tea and refuted it one by one.
Xue Mei: "The silver must be refunded, otherwise it will hurt the dignity of the Hou Mansion. The Wen family will point fingers. If even the merchants look down on us, wouldn't I be even more sorry for my ancestors and fathers?"
Yongning Hou: "..."
Xue Mei: "The King Yu is interested in the second sister, not the Marquis' Mansion. Father, don't be too worried."
Don't be self-indulgent.
The Yongning Hou was so angry that she was so angry that she was overwhelmed by her.
He was about to have an attack, but he didn't know where to start, and his face turned red.
Xue Mei drank a cup of tea: "Father, daughter, and her daughter surrendered."
Yongning Hou watched her go out, thinking that she knew King Rui, but she didn't dare to stop her.
Why has Xue Mei changed so much?
In the past, she could do anything for the marquis's mansion and for this father.
She agreed to marry the son of a merchant as the lord daughter of the marquis’s family, but she didn’t make any trouble.
From when did she not take the Marquis’ Mansion and this father and marquis seriously?
She used to give in to Yutan everywhere.
Yutan has the ability, so she can make the Xue family regain its glory. Everyone should work hard together to lift Yutan up, and Xue Mei also understands it.
But now she is going to go against Yutan?
"So ignorant, I didn't do this before!" Yongning Hou thought, "It seems that it was after hanging that time..."
Yes, she also said that she had met Lu Qi's fooling around, and Lu Qi taught her medical skills.
Thinking about it now, this matter does not seem to be fake.
"Is she really a ghost?" Yongning Hou shivered, "Do you want to invite a monk to exorcise her evil spirits?"
He just thought about it and didn't really care so much.
However, if he told Xue Yutan, the father and daughter would probably hit it off.
After pondering for a long time, Yongning Hou decided to go to Huai Pavilion.
The entrance to Huai Pavilion is a forgotten place in the Marquis' Mansion, living with his original wife, Pan.
The couple didn't meet very much.
The last time I met Pan was the New Year's Eve the previous year, and she didn't even come out last year.
The old lady doesn't like Pan anyway, so it doesn't matter whether she comes or not.
The Yongning Hou suddenly visited, and everyone in Huai Pavilion was very calm and no one was panicked. This made Yongning Hou feel no sense of accomplishment, as if they never expected him to come.
Pan is still worshiping Buddha.
The maid served the tea and quietly retreated, without telling Yongning Hou when Pan's family will be better.
Yongning Hou was about to have an attack, and then he remembered that this maid was a mute.
He waited for a moment before Pan came out of the Buddhist temple.
The couple exchanged a greeting or two and fell into silence.
The friendship between Yongning Hou and her was weak and there was nothing to say, so he made a clear idea of his purpose.
"...You have to come out to be the head this year. Chi'er can walk now and has an official position, so his marriage needs to be carried out. He is the eldest son of the Marquis' Mansion, and I don't feel at ease when he handed over his marriage to others.
Mei'er retired from the marriage, she was older and looked pretty, but she was not very good-looking after all, but she was named the county lord and marriage was not difficult.
Run'er is younger and is fifteen after the New Year. She is no longer a child. You have to find some suitable ones for him. Then I will leave it to my third brother and sister to do it." said Yongning Hou, "You have to do these three things."
Pan nodded: "Yes, Marquis."
Although she was respectful, her skin was pale and yellow, her lips were white, and her old look was obvious. Yongning Hou felt that she could not get on the table.
He said, "The Chinese New Year is coming soon. If you come out as soon as possible, just move back to the main courtyard. You should also add some clothes and rouge."
Yongning Hou decided to give the main courtyard to her for the time being, and he went to Zhou's courtyard to make do with him for a month.
That night, the Marquis' Mansion was very quiet.
The next day, Xue Chi and his servant came back from another place.
The night he came back, Pan quietly left Jihuai Pavilion again and went to Xiyuan.
"You get a cold first." Xue Chi said to her, "Let's have a good New Year. Mei'er hasn't had fun for many years, so what else is going on at home.
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, you can leave. At that time, you will say that you will enter Huai Pavilion and start a fire, and the eldest lady will be burned to death."
After his mother died, he and Xue Mei could be mourned for twenty-seven months.
Their marriage can be delayed for another two years.
So the next day, the Marquis of Yongning heard that Pan had suffered from a cold and wind.
She doesn't have a fever, but she sneezes and coughs, and she will be out of the way.
"Let her not come out. If everyone is sick, there will be no fun this year." Yongning Hou was very disgusted, "It's really impossible to get over the matter."
Xue Mei also went to see Pan's family.
