After Xiao Changfeng returned home, he ordered people to start preparing to decorate the Hou Mansion.
Hearing that his master was going to marry Su Nianyun, Anu opened his eyes in shock.
"Master, are you kidding me? Who do you want to marry?"
Xiao Changfeng said, "Princess Nianyun."
"Master, did you go to see the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother forced you to marry again?"
"Your Majesty, this is too much. In the past, when Princess Nianyun was not married, the master had already rejected the marriage."
"Now that her husband has died and she is still in the period of filial piety, the Queen Mother still wants to let you marry Su Nianyun?"
"I brought it up myself this time and it has nothing to do with the Queen Mother. Don't ask any more questions. Just prepare."
After giving this order, Xiao Changfeng picked up the sword on the shelf and went to the yard to practice.
"master……"
Anu was unwilling to give in. The master definitely did not bring up this matter on his own initiative. How could the master take the initiative to bring up the matter of marriage?
Xiao Han stopped her, "Master is practicing his sword. Are you risking your life by rushing forward like this?"
"Wait until I ask clearly what is going on. I..."
Anu's voice was trembling, "Something must have happened to my master. Is he threatening the Queen Mother?"
"The Queen Mother has always cared about her master and treated her as half a son. She even sent Doctor Shen to come when his master was injured. How could she threaten him?"
Xiao Han said, "Besides, do you think anyone would threaten the master as long as he doesn't want to?"
"Then what should I do? Just watch my master marry a woman he doesn't like?"
"Obviously the master doesn't even know what Princess Nianyun looks like. Didn't you say that the master will not marry a woman he doesn't like? What do you say now?" Anu asked Xiao Han.
Xiao Han was speechless for a moment. He just wanted to persuade Anu to retreat when he said this.
"In short, that Princess Nianyun is not worthy of her master!" Anu shed tears sadly.
Seeing Anu who was out of control like this, Xiao Han's eyes were complicated.
"Master will get a wife sooner or later. Rather than marrying a girl from another aristocratic family, it would be better to marry Princess Nianyun."
At the very least, Princess Nianyun was so fond of the Queen Mother that she was able to make arrangements for her to this extent again after the princess lost her husband.
He deliberately emphasized the words "female from aristocratic family", hoping that Anu would really see through the truth this time and stop thinking about what she couldn't get.
But Anu's heart had sunk, and Xiao Han could pull it back with just a few words.
The two subordinates each had their own worries, and as the person who proposed the marriage, Xiao Changfeng danced with a long sword, making the dragon roar and the tiger roar.
In the past, before the princess got married, he might have been able to help her find a good husband.
Now that she is newly married and widowed, there are many unfavorable rumors about her from the outside world, and it is almost impossible to choose a good son-in-law.
He knew the Queen Mother's worries, and he was willing to do this just because he was worried that the Queen Mother's body would not be able to bear it, nothing more.
He lost his mother when he was young, lived in exile, and suffered a lot.
Because he saved old General Murong back then, he was particularly favored by the Queen Mother.
Old General Murong is the elder brother of the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother and her son's increasingly stable status in the court is thanks to this elder brother.
Because of this relationship, the Queen Mother had always been kind to him, and even made him regard the Queen Mother's care as that of a mother.
It was precisely because of this that he decided to take a step back this time to fulfill the Queen Mother's wishes and make her feel comfortable, so that the Queen Mother's health would be better.
Although he was aware of the elements of cruelty in it, he just turned a deaf ear.
However, Xiao Hou, who had always been stubborn, finally gave in on the marriage and was ready to obey the Queen Mother's arrangements, but Su Nianyun's resistance was even more fierce than before.
She went to the palace to see the Queen Mother for three consecutive days in order to get the Queen Mother to cancel this decision.
Murong Jing spoke earnestly to Su Nianyun, "Nianyun, you are still young and don't understand what it's like to be a widow. The Ai family is from here..."
At this point, the Queen Mother began to set an example.
"The Ai family understands the pain involved, so they made this decision for you. Just marry Xiao Changfeng boldly, and the Ai family will clear up all the rumors for you. How about that?"
Faced with such a sincere and sincere Queen Mother, Su Nianyun was almost ready to surrender.
But thinking of all the sufferings she suffered in her previous life and her unborn child, she couldn't let go of her hatred for the Chen family no matter what.
Especially when the chess game was full of traps, she couldn't miss the opportunity to watch the show.
The most important thing is that Xiao Changfeng is a very traitorous minister.
Even with all the cunning tricks he played in the government and the public after assisting the eighteenth prince to ascend the throne, she would not marry such a person.
Not to mention, she hasn't figured out his relationship with Zhou Yao yet.
How could she send herself to the enemy's door!
"Nianyun, don't be confused about this kind of thing, it's about a lifetime of happiness."
Murong Jing still persuaded her with sincerity, "It was your choice to marry into the Chen family. The Ai family also gave you a chance, but facts have proved that the Chen family cannot give you happiness."
"This time, just listen to the Aijia. If it's because of the child, the child is still young and easy to handle. The Aijia will ask Dr. Shen to give you a..."
"Queen Mother," Su Nianyun knelt down solemnly and begged, "Nianyun please, I really don't want to marry Xiao Changfeng!"
"Nian Yun knows that the Queen Mother is devoted to Nian Yun's good. Why don't you just let me observe filial piety for Chen Shaoan for three years? After three years, it will be too late to consider remarrying!"
"You...you are so determined!" Seeing that Su Nianyun was like this, Murong Jing sighed.
——
Just when Anu had been listless for three days and was about to reluctantly accept the fact that his master was going to marry Su Nianyun, suddenly Nanny Sun, who was beside the Queen Mother, quietly came to the door.
She stood outside the study, listening to the intermittent words of Grandma Sun and her master inside, and her face, which had been clouded all the time, suddenly cleared up.
"...The Queen Mother originally wanted to settle it like this, but Princess Nianyun firmly opposed it..."
"The Queen Mother means that this matter should be left as it is, as if she never said anything..."
This matter was originally told by the Queen Mother to Xiao Hou in front of her, so naturally it was up to her to convey the result.
Xiao Changfeng wore a silver mask with no expression on his face.
After a moment of silence, he nodded, "Since it is Princess Nianyun's own choice, there is no reason for me to force it."
"It seems that the Queen Mother will inevitably have to put more thought into her marriage in the future."
"But that's not the case," said Grandma Sun. "As soon as my words were delivered, I resigned."
"Aunt Sun, I will send you off!" Anu said happily when he saw Aunt Sun coming out of the study.
When the study became quiet, Xiao Changfeng frowned.
According to what Grandma Sun said, Su Nianyun reacted very strongly to the marriage between the two of them, and even decided to cancel the marriage.
