Xue Qingyin spent a lot of effort to persuade Mrs. Xue to relax. She really was not going to marry the sixty-year-old old Zhao Guogong right away.

Mrs. Xue bit her lower lip and said uneasily: "You didn't go out much before, but now you go out a lot, and you attract more limelight. I think it's better to see a good person earlier and settle your marriage. Don't worry about it outside.

Those people, all kinds of people, come to think about you."

When these words came out of Mrs.

If He Songning in the past had heard this, he would have sneered in his heart.

But at this moment he said nothing.

Was it because he had preconceived ideas and refused to take another look at Xue Qingyin that he didn't see the excellence in her?

He Songning's eyes flashed slightly.

The King of Wei admired her because of her skin.

Princess Jinfeng fell in love with her because of her temperament.

Why did you come back from Zhao Guogong's "Hongmen Banquet" unscathed today?

Now that someone likes her, He Songning is not surprised at all.

"There are quite a few matchmakers for me. Today some people told me about the eldest son of the Xu family." Xue Qingyin curled her lips.

"Xu Mansion?" Mrs. Xue asked doubtfully, "Is it the Xu Mansion of Taishi Bureau Prime Minister?" Madam Xue said angrily: "It's not because of my mother's vanity, it's just that their family is only an official of the seventh rank, how can they dare to talk about marriage?

Speaking of coming in front of you? It’s too demeaning to my daughter!”

He Songning frowned and interjected: "Is it Concubine Wan's natal family, Xu Sikong's house?"

Mrs. Xue paused there in shock.

Then she fell into doubt: "How could it be this Xu Mansion?"

There are many officials named Xu in Beijing.

But only Concubine Wan's natal family is the main family, and the rest are mostly side branches that may not be related to each other.

There must have been some change in this.

He Songning wished he could let Mrs. Xue leave immediately and sit down to ask Xue Qingyin carefully.

"The Xu Mansion is not a family we can compare to. It has Concubine Wan and King Wei behind it, not to mention the shadow left by Mrs. Xu. If I want to tell you the eldest son..." Mrs. Xue was silent for a moment and said: "

It’s not that I’m looking down on you, it’s just that it’s not quite commensurate with you.”

The minister of household affairs, the official, is also not young anymore.

But there is also the Minister of the Ministry of Finance up there.

Not to mention that in these years, the scandals of the Xue family have not been hidden from the outside world at all. Everyone still remembers that the concubine of the Xue family poisoned the mistress, which made the legitimate daughter weak...

Afterwards, in order to compensate Xue Qingyin, the family raised their daughter to have a coquettish temperament. This is not a secret outside.

A family like the Xu family, which attaches great importance to reputation, would never choose Xue Qingyin.

"Of course it would be good if this marriage can come true...after all, there is no choice between families like the Xu family." Mrs. Xue said hesitantly.

He Songning couldn't bear to listen and interrupted in a cold voice: "Absolutely not."

It was rare for Mrs. Xue to hear such a cold and hard tone, and she couldn't help but be stunned.

He Songning also realized that he had lost his composure, and quickly softened his tone and said: "The more this kind of family is, the stricter the government will control it. If Qingyin marries her, I'm afraid she won't be happy."

Mrs. Xue thought: "That's right."

Xue Qingyin couldn't help but interrupt them and said: "This has not happened, what are you worried about?"

He Songning's eyes were cold.

Worried about Concubine Wan.

Concubine Wan is a woman with evil thoughts. She wishes she could break people's bones and suck out their marrow and use them cleanly.

She didn't like her son to be deceived by beauty, but now her plan was blocked, so she thought of changing the subject and marrying Xue Qingyin to her nephew, and reached out to pocket the money bag from the Ministry of Finance.

He Songning sneered inwardly.

But Concubine Wan would never have thought that... the Xue family had already lined up since he was adopted by Xue Chengdong.

Mrs. Xue sighed at this time and asked Xue Qingyin directly what kind of man she liked.

Xue Qingyin: "She's good-looking."

Mrs. Xue laughed angrily: "What's the use of a good skin?"

Xue Qingyin: "There are so many skins that I can't eat without looking at them."

Mrs. Xue couldn't help laughing: "You are still a child after all, what are you thinking about?"

He Songning's expression also softened a little.

Xue Qingyin is indeed very childish, and the love and affection she talks about are not counted.

Mrs. Xue looked at He Songning and then remembered to ask him: "Where have you been in such a hurry today?"

"Go pick up Qingyin." He Songning then sat down and took a sip of tea and said, "I heard that she was picked up by people from Duke Zhao's mansion, and I was worried that something might happen to her."

Mrs. Xue laughed again, sincerely: "You know you feel sorry for your sister. It's a pity that she went to Furong Garden, so you missed it. Are you tired from running all the way?"

Mrs. Xue hurriedly asked people to get snacks, and also ordered her servants to cook some white fungus soup.

"Quatiate your thirst and hunger. Let's eat some later. Do you brothers and sisters have something to say? I won't stay here." Mrs. Xue said and left first.

He Songning glanced at her back and then sat down next to Xue Qingyin.

I didn't think so before.

Now that I look at it from a different angle, I feel that Mrs. Xue is indeed a very considerate person.

When the snacks were brought, He Songning took a piece and handed it to Xue Qingyin, then asked warmly: "Are you scared today?"

Xue Qingyin did not take the snack and asked him: "Brother, have you washed your hands when you came back?"

He Songning: "..."

Did she take it too seriously?

In the past, he didn't offer her any snacks, and instead she wrapped her arms around him to ask for them.

The maid quickly brought water to clean He Songning's hands.

However, He Songning also lost his appetite for food. He heard Xue Qingyin whisper: "Afraid, of course I am."

Then Xue Qingyin told him roughly what happened today, of course hiding some of the details. For example, King Xuan broke the cup, Zhao Xufeng called her mom, and so on.

He Songning's eyes flashed when he heard this.

That strange feeling came again.

When she talked about these things, her tone was exaggerated, but there was a hint of calmness in her voice. It seemed that she was not very scared at that time.

And...this time she didn't grab his sleeve and cry.

"Do you know who that noble man is?" He Songning said abruptly.

"Is he the current Holy Emperor?" Xue Qingyin felt that she had guessed correctly.

He Songning: "...You are very smart."

Xue Qingyin met his gloomy gaze and quickly defended herself: "If you can't even see it, what kind of idiot must you be?"

She said fiercely: "Of course I am very smart! I am the smartest!"

As soon as these words came out.

The suspicion in He Songning's eyes disappeared instantly.

He was even amused, thinking that she looked like an exploded cat.

He asked: "Aren't you afraid to see His Majesty?"

When he mentioned the word "Your Majesty", He Songning felt dazed for a moment.

He only met the emperor a few times when he was a child. When he grew up, the emperor never visited him again.

He didn't even know what the emperor had become now.

Ridiculous or not.

That was his biological father.

Xue Qingyin said: "I'm a little scared."

"Some?"

Xue Qingyin felt that final decoration was not a big deal, and she had to slowly let He Songning accept her changes.

She nodded and said: "I have met King Wei, King Xuan, and Princess Jinque... They are all more powerful people than our family. What is there to be afraid of after seeing too many people? Although the current Holy Lord

He is the most powerful one, but think about it, he is also a father. Meeting him is almost like meeting our father."

A complicated look flashed across He Songning's eyes: "You think clearly."

Xue Qingyin pulled her character back again.

She looked up at He Songning and whispered: "But I also have things to be afraid of..."

He Songning became more interested: "Huh? Are you more afraid than meeting the current Holy Emperor?"

"Well, I'm afraid you'll be angry."

He Songning's heart suddenly felt like a heavy blow.

Looking down at her again, I felt that Xue Qingyin's face looked a bit pitiful and cute.

Xue Qingyin kept chattering: "I'm still afraid that grandma will be sad and that no one will love me. It would be great if I don't have to get married. I want to be with grandma and my eldest brother all my life."

He Songning paused again.

I just felt that a soft place in my heart that was wrapped in layers of thick armor was pressed gently but not too hard.

In the end, he just said calmly: "I will let you live a good life... Tomorrow King Wei will send someone to deliver some gifts to the house. You will naturally be able to get over the anger you suffered from Concubine Wan."
