The person who knows her daughter best is Mrs. Yao. During dinner in the evening, she noticed that her daughter's mood had improved.
Thinking of the letter she handed over, a smile appeared on her face. When mother and son were taking a walk after dinner, she asked: "What did Mr. Huo write to you that makes you so happy?"
"I didn't write anything," Yao Anxin said with a blush on her face, "just to reassure me that he didn't take the rumors outside seriously..."
By the way, he also talked about the attitude of the Huo family.
"Really? That's a good thing," Mrs. Yao said. "Originally, I was worried that the old lady's affairs would affect your marriage. Now it seems that Mrs. Huo understands justice and is much wiser than I thought.
Already."
But yes, if their family can produce a Chengjun Princess, she must be capable, otherwise such good things will not happen to their family.
Mrs. Yao asked Yao Anxin to interact with Huo Botao with peace of mind. Since the Huo family meant this, they naturally could not let the Huo family down.
We don’t do anything bad, and we are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night.
What's more, if Mrs. Yao really remarries Prince Chong, it's not necessarily a bad thing. Everything has its disadvantages and advantages.
"What do you think this will do for our family?" Yao Anxin asked.
Mrs. Yao laughed softly: "Your Majesty is now old, and several princes are gradually coming of age. Among them, Prince Jin is the most popular, but he is also the prince who has offended our family the most. It is also because of him that the Nineteenth Prince is in trouble.
You even did that kind of thing... Do you think that if King Jin comes to power, will it be a good thing or a bad thing for our family?"
Yao Anxin said nothing, because there was no need to answer at all.
She would never forget what everyone in the capital said about her when she was whipped by the Nineteenth Prince in the backyard.
Those rumors seemed to have passed, but they left traces on Yao Anxin's heart, making her realize how terrible the words "people say it is" really are. If the old lady hadn't invited her a reward, let her
With the title of "Township Lord", which is equivalent to the identity of the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo and the Duke of Fuguo, this silenced everyone's mouths, and she would only be more embarrassed in the capital.
Then, Princess Chengjun personally stepped in to connect the young master of the Huo family for her.
Yao Anxin is not a three-year-old child. She doesn't know what's going on, but if the other person is so enthusiastic, there must be "profit" to be gained. Otherwise, why would Princess Chengjun like you?
Yao Anxin didn't know what the old lady had done, but she knew that it must have been the old lady.
Mrs. Yao continued: "At this time, the old lady remarried Prince Chong, and she was the princess. Her reputation was not good, but after all, we were related to the royal family. Prince Chong was still young, and his age
On par with the Prince of Jin, no matter which prince takes that position in the end, with Prince Chong as his protective umbrella, our family will be safer."
This is what Mrs. Yao later wanted to understand. Based on her understanding of the old lady, the old lady was not like a person who was aimless, so what exactly made the old lady do such a "ridiculous" thing?
After thinking about it, Mrs. Yao couldn't think of any other reason besides the pressure from King Jin.
Yao Anxin tightened the handkerchief: "But if this is the case, wouldn't it drag Prince Chong into the water?"
"There's nothing you can do about it. Birds die for food, people die for wealth, and people are all selfish. The old lady has something she wants to protect, I have something I want to protect, and so does Prince Chong... Since everyone has it,
Then it depends on who has the better move." Mrs. Yao said, "Judging from the current situation, we can neither lose nor win."
Yao Anxin's heart was a little heavy. She knew that when the old count was still alive, the Yao family had a falling out with the Jinjun Prince's Palace, and things never got better after that. Instead, the quarrel got worse and worse, and it was almost impossible to get over it anymore.
Otherwise, the Nineteenth Prince would not come angrily to "whip" a woman like her.
She saw the crisis.
If the old lady really sacrificed her reputation and married Prince Chong in order to "resolve" this crisis, then this sacrifice would be too great.
Yao Anxin felt a little distressed and felt aggrieved for the old lady.
At the same time, some people hate the men of the Yao family for not living up to expectations. If her father or second uncle were more angry, maybe they wouldn't have to "sacrifice" the old lady, right?
Seeing that her daughter's mood had dropped again, Mrs. Yao sighed softly and touched her head: "I just made a guess. I didn't dare to tell your father. I don't know what happened.
.I am telling you this just to tell you that there is no mother in this world who does not love her children. The old lady is willing to do anything for your father, you and your brother.
"
"But if there is a better choice, the old lady doesn't have to make such a choice, right?" Yao Anxin raised her head, her eyes a little uncomfortable, "The old lady is so old, and she is racking her brains again.
, went to jail again... Now she has finally made Jinling what she wanted, and can retire in peace, but this happened. Mom, why do we keep asking the old lady to 'sacrifice'? She doesn't owe us
Anyone, she should enjoy her old age..."
She wanted to say, which old lady is like the old lady in her family, who is so old and still has to worry about future generations?
Why is the old lady worried?
Isn’t it because future generations are not living up to expectations?
As long as dad and second uncle are fighting over each other, the old lady will not...
"Sister Xin, you made a mistake." Mrs. Yao's hand paused in the air, and the expression on her face became serious, "You can't say this kind of thing casually, you know? Even if he is not your father, he is still your father...
...If these words reach your father's ears, how embarrassed will he be? Your father is already in a difficult situation. Do you really think that it will be easy for your father to deal with the powerful people in the capital outside now? Even if your father doesn't know
What is the intention of the old lady's actions, but what is the difference between others' ridicule and what you are saying now? It's okay if others stab your father with a knife, but you can't stab your father with a knife."
"I didn't mean that, I just..." Yao Anxin wanted to explain that she just felt wronged for the old lady, and she really didn't mean anything else.
"I know," Mrs. Yao said, "so I don't mean to blame you, I'm just worried that you will make your father angry. You are not young anymore. If the old lady hadn't delayed it these few years, you would be here now
It’s time to get married. Once you get married, you are someone else’s daughter-in-law. The married daughter will throw water away. If you make a wrong step, even if I want to help you, I can’t do anything. In order to train you, the old lady
We also specially raised a troupe to tell you about these things in the backyard... You should understand that after you get married, you are no longer you."
Yao Anxin's heart skipped a beat: "I know, I've figured it out a long time ago, mother, don't worry, I won't be like the woman in the storybook, who loves her to death, as if her husband would die without a man. I am Yao Anxin, even if I
When I get married, I am also Yao Anxin."
Mrs. Yao opened her mouth and wanted to correct her daughter. When she got married, she took her husband's surname. How could she be "Yao Anxin"? She should be called "Mrs. Huo".
But in the end, Mrs. Yao did not say anything.
She didn't want to break her daughter's heart, and wanted to give her one last fantasy - maybe Huo Botao treats his daughter differently.
