Chapter 440 Complaints
The He family has been the pillar of the Daqian Kingdom for generations.
From the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, his ancestor was the emperor's founding marshal. The He family's duty to serve the country loyally has been passed down from generation to generation until Hebei.
As the son of a general, Hebei has been living in the military camp since he was a teenager. Later, he got married and had a son, guarding the border.
If it hadn't been for such a tragedy in He Mansion, He Hongfei would have grown up in a military camp.
It's a pity that he has been raised in Xia County and only returned to the capital a few years ago. Soon he heard that the officers and soldiers were going to suppress the bandits, so he joined them. Unexpectedly, he got off to a bad start and was caught by the bandits, leaving him in this state.
At first, when Xi Yalan stopped her daughter from treating him, she was undoubtedly worried.
Hebei is prejudiced against the Xiahou Mansion. If he knew that Xia Qianqian was the daughter of the Hou Mansion, he would definitely think that his son's death was related to the Xiahou Mansion.
The feud between the two families may become even more intense.
She doesn't want her daughter to become the trigger.
But now, my daughter has rescued He Hongfei.
Such a lifesaver is enough to alleviate the grievances between the two families for so many years, and may also be able to alleviate the tit-for-tat confrontation between Hebei and the Marquis in the court.
This daughter is really her lucky star!
"Madam, you have given me the award!"
Xia Qianqian smiled, "For me, when I rescued him, it was not because he was the only one in the He family, but because of my medical ethics and heart. I couldn't bear to put a patient who could clearly be treated in front of me, but I didn't do anything. Unintentional."
"Qianqian, you are a kind and good child." Xi Yalan held her hand and was filled with emotion.
"As a doctor, I just did what I should do." Xia Qianqian also smiled.
"Okay!"
Xi Yalan felt that she was worthy of any praise given to this child.
If the Marquis is willing to see such a daughter, he will definitely be happy.
But...
Why has there been no reply to the letter she sent to the capital?
What does Mr. Hou mean?
Now that I know the news about my daughter, why don’t you come here sooner?
When Xi Yalan lamented and complained, Xia Qianqian reminded her: "Madam, I still need to go next door to see the young master, and I can't accompany you anymore."
"It's okay! You go!"
Xi Yalan looked at Xia Qianqian and couldn't get enough of it, "Your mother is going to Zhuxian Academy later, and I happened to be walking with her. We had a little chat on the way and had company."
"Okay!"
Li Yunniang was still immersed in her misunderstanding of Ji Zimo, and she didn't care about anything else for the sake of her daughter's fate.
She sat under Xi Yalan, hesitated, and said, "Sister Xi, if you asked me to call you sister, it must be because of Qianqian."
Xi Yalan thought Li Yunniang knew something, and her heart trembled suddenly, "Sister, what do you want to say?"
"It's not my business, it's my family's business."
Li Yunniang felt that no one could ask about this matter more directly than asking Xi Yalan.
After all, Xi Yalan is Mrs. Hou and knows the people in the capital better than anyone else, especially His Highness the King next door.
Dean Xi is interested in his daughter, and he certainly hopes that Qianqian will have a good marriage.
"Qianqian, what's wrong?" Li Yunniang's solemn expression frightened Xi Yalan.
She and her daughter will know each other in private, but now she has not even called her mother.
How could she tolerate anything happening to her!
"It's about her marriage!"
Li Yunniang said worriedly: "She will be nineteen when the New Year comes. According to her age, many girls will get married and have children early, but she is still delaying."
"I know that before, it was because my family was poor and we didn't have a decent dowry. Our family was orphaned and widowed. No one wanted to marry her because they were afraid of being a drag."
"But now, thanks to Qianqian's brains and our hard work, our life is finally getting better."
"Life is getting better, and I have saved some dowry. I can't delay her any longer and let her be an old girl!"
When Li Yunniang mentioned this matter, Xi Yalan's heart also hurt.
Her daughter, the dignified concubine of the Hou family, was reduced to a peasant girl in a remote mountainous area. In her double ninth year, she never got married.
The reason for not getting married turned out to be that my family was poor and I was disliked by others.
Xi Yalan felt sad in her heart.
However, thinking about it on the other hand, she was secretly glad.
Fortunately, my daughter did not get married.
Relying on her identity as a farm girl, if she gets married early, the identity of the other party will be nothing more than a certain land man from the next village.
And if she were to marry as a young lady from the Hou Mansion, she would have her choice among the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital, the sons of aristocratic families, and the outstanding talents.
At the worst, it would be more than enough to choose a second-generation official with a hereditary title.
Marrying into a good family, enjoying a lifetime of glory and wealth, and having a worry-free future for her children and grandchildren, she should live that kind of life.
Parents love their children because of their deep intentions.
"Sister, do you want me to tell Qianqian about marriage?" After the two of them got to know each other, their words became more and more straightforward.
Li Yunniang nodded and said helplessly: "Sister, you should have noticed that Mr. Mo and Qianqian next door are getting close."
"Before, I didn't know Mr. Mo's true identity. I always thought that marrying a teacher to a well-matched family would not be considered a high achievement."
"Later, I learned that he was one of the four major families in Jiangcheng. I was also a little hesitant, fearing that my daughter would not be used to it and would be bullied if she married him."
"But I saw that Mr. Mo took great care of Qianqian and protected her, so I acquiesced."
"But it's different now!"
Li Yunniang had a worried look on her face and sighed, "He is a high and mighty King, and my daughter is just a peasant girl. Not to mention the huge difference in identity and background."
"People say that all men in the world are ruthless, especially those from the royal family."
"Of the concubines in the imperial palace, many of them in the three palaces and six courtyards have never seen the emperor until their death."
"Your Highness the Wise King, even if he falls in love with Qianqian again, can he marry her and make her his concubine? Can he not marry a side concubine or have a concubine because of her?"
Li Yunniang shook her head, her expression extremely ugly, "Although my man is a barefoot doctor in the village, since I married him, he knows both coldness and warmth, and has never spoken loudly to me."
"When I get up in the morning and I want to get up to cook, he always puts me back on the bed, saying that I am weak and let him do such rough work."
"When he was around, I just took care of the children. He took care of everything inside and outside the house."
"My daughter was sick. When she was five years old, she couldn't speak yet and could only scream like crazy all day long. It was him who took the trouble to take her out to relax, teach her about flowers, plants, insects, and fish, and teach her to write."
"Our life is not rich, but we are loving husband and wife, and he is a caring person."
This was the first time that Xi Yalan heard about her daughter’s childhood from Li Yunniang’s mouth.
At five years old, she still can't speak.
"You must have suffered a lot in raising her!"
