Huo Xi also received the news from Mu Yan early in the morning.
Her mother was posthumously named "Lady England".
When the wet nurse and Ningxiu heard the news, they knelt and worshiped in the room and burst into tears.
Yang and Huo Erhuai were also full of surprises. They hugged Huo Xi and Huo Nian and were excited: "This is great, this is great!"
Huo Xi also cried excitedly, and was not sure what Zhang Fu's intention was.
"Sister." Huo Nian came over and hugged Huo Xi.
"My mother has been banned. Do we have status?" After waiting for so many days, their father did not give them an explanation, but the news that their mother had been banned was somewhat of a consolation.
Huo Xi didn't want to lie to him: "It should be like this. But no one can prove that we are our mother's children. If the Zhang family refuses to admit it, we will be nothing."
The wet nurse and Ningxiu were very excited: "How come no one can prove it? We are the witnesses, we can all prove it!"
Huo Xi smiled comfortingly at them, "Well, you can all prove it."
Seeing the worried look on the nanny's face, Huo Xi smiled at her. Ningxiu said: "Miss, are we not enough?"
Huo Xi thought for a while and nodded: "If the Zhang family doesn't want to recognize it, then we don't."
"Then what should we do? Are we just going to wait like this?" Who knows how much the British father-in-law is sincere to his first wife's children. The longer the days go by, the weaker the love becomes.
"It's not a matter of waiting. Let's get rid of Wu's minions first. On the one hand, we'll wait for her to take action, and on the other hand, we'll collect evidence. If that doesn't work, we'll sue Wu for patricide."
"Well, Miss, just ask us for anything you need from us. We are all witnesses. Your nanny was also present at the time and can all testify."
"good."
"elder sister……"
Huo Xi looked at Nian'er. He didn't start school until tomorrow. He thought for a while and said, "Sister, please take you to see your mother and tell her the good news."
"good!"
"When you come back, write a letter to your grandparents and tell them the good news."
"Okay!" Huo Nian responded loudly.
The two children were going to pay homage to their mother, which kept Yang and Huo Erhuai busy. The couple were busy preparing sacrifices, incense, candles and other items.
Send them out again.
"Where are you going, brother and sister? Why don't you take An An with you?" An An pouted and was dissatisfied. If his sister hadn't promised him a bunch of conditions, he would have howled loudly, hum.
"Didn't your brother and sister tell you that they are visiting a relative and you are too young to go? When they come back, they will take you to see a sideshow."
"Okay. Mother, remember it for me. My sister always forgets things."
"Okay, Mom will remember it for you. But why don't you remember it yourself?"
"I'm also afraid of forgetting things. Hey, why am I my sister's younger brother? I have the same problem as my sister, always forgetting things. This is not good at all."
Shaking his head, he walked in the door with his hands behind his back.
Yang and Huo Erhuai were speechless for a while. This child looked nothing like them, so he must have been picked up too.
Outside the Zhang family's ancestral grave, the two siblings pulled up a circle of weeds and made a circle, then placed the sacrifices and lit incense, candles and other objects.
While Nian'er was burning paper money, Huo Xi was talking to her mother's grave not far away.
"...Are you happy, mother? Don't worry about me and Nian'er. Soon, I will take Nian'er to your tomb in a dignified manner to pay homage to you..."
In the Zhang family's ancestral grave, the gravekeeper looked this way again.
I don’t know who it was or which festival it was for. Seeing that the other person didn’t seem to have any bad intentions, he retreated.
"Sister, your grave seems to have been leveled!" Huo Nian's sharp eyes saw that the small mound of soil next to his mother's grave seemed to be missing.
Huo Xi also saw it and his eyes flashed.
"Did he send someone to calm it down?"
"probably."
Huo Nian pursed his lips.
Throwing paper money into the fire, she also muttered: "Mom, don't worry about me and my sister. Nian'er will come to see you often. I will go to school tomorrow. Nian'er will study hard and do well in martial arts classes."
You must learn the art of war and martial arts well..."
After burning the paper money, I picked up a dead branch and started showing off my marksmanship on the barren slope, saying I wanted to show it to my mother.
I was playing until I was sweating on my forehead, and then I stopped.
Before leaving, Huo Xi asked Tayue to give two taels of silver to the gravekeeper, and left all the sacrifices he brought to him, hoping that he would pay more attention to his mother's grave in the future.
The gravekeeper stared at the departing Huo Xi and his entourage, wondering who came to pay homage to the Duke and his wife, and asked him to take more care of them.
A few days ago, Zhang Jin, who was next to the Duke, came to bulldoze the eldest lady's grave. He felt confused. Now someone came to pay homage to Mrs. Li.
The gravekeeper looked at the two taels of silver in his hand and felt very happy. From now on, he will definitely clean Mrs. Li's tomb so that not even a speck of dust can be seen.
Huo Xi didn't figure out Zhang Fu's intention of asking for the title, and Emperor Yongkang didn't figure it out either.
Today is the first day of the New Year's meeting, and there are not so many political matters to deal with. After he finished his work, he began to think about Zhang Fu's request for a seal this morning.
It seems that Zhang Fu knows about the existence of those two children. Then why not just give Huo Nian the crown prince instead of his mother?
Why bother?
"Mu Yan is outside?"
"I'm here!" Mu Yan, who was guarding the door of the hall, responded.
Ye Chen glanced at him. He was obviously guarding outside the hall with that guy Mu Yan. Why did the emperor always call him but never himself?
Are you not as handsome as him?
Huh, angry!
In the evening, he was going to Linxian Tower to eat roasted duck, hibiscus and shark fin soup, and order a few pots of Qiu Lubai, both to eat and drink, so that he could have blood! Ye Chen kept slandering in his heart.
In the main hall, Emperor Yongkang asked him what he thought of Zhang Fu's request for a title.
"According to my understanding, the British father knew about the existence of his two children. He should have wanted to take them back. But after the British wife went, the Zhang family helped the Wu family, and the Zhang Jie born to the Wu family was older than Huo Nian.
One year old. I'm afraid the British father may have some concerns."
Uh... Emperor Yongkang was knocking on the dragon case.
He also has a headache when it comes to heirs.
Compared with the prince, the King of Han and King Zhao won his heart more, and the King of Han was even more like him. But the prince was the eldest son.
Fortunately, he didn't have a successor, otherwise it would be even more troublesome for him to have a legitimate son.
Presumably, his father also had a lot of headaches back then.
However, "Zhang Fu doesn't seem to be a hesitant and undecided person." Emperor Yongkang was a little puzzled. If Zhang Fu asked Huo Nian for a title, would he still disagree?
"The British Duke is a decisive person outside the family, but as everyone says, family matters are difficult to resolve. Moreover, the British Duke is not the only one who calls the shots in the British government."
"You mean Mrs. Rong Guo, Mrs. Wang?"
Mu Yan lowered his head and did not answer.
Emperor Yongkang continued tapping his fingers. Fortunately, there was no Queen Mother in the harem, otherwise, he would have been constrained everywhere. There was no Queen Mother, and the Queen was gone.
Thinking about the deceased Empress Xu, Emperor Yongkang felt a sense of loss.
He waved to Mu Yan.
Mu Yan handed over his hands and resigned. He walked out of the hall backwards.
When the British Duke asked for a title, the various governments in the capital had different attitudes. Everyone who was on good terms with the Wu family complained about her.
On this day, at the banquet held by Princess Fuqing, Princess Fuqing even pulled Wu to comfort her.
