Xu Qinghuan just looked at her shadow in the mirror. She hadn't seen herself like this for a long time.
When she was seriously ill in her previous life, she would often sit in front of the mirror. At that time, she needed to spend more time dressing up to make herself look as good as possible.
So most of the memories in my mind are of that time. Now when I look at myself in the mirror, I realize that things are really different.
Not only everything around her, but also she herself had undergone tremendous changes from the inside out.
She is no longer the depressed person waiting for death, but a vibrant young girl.
Not only that, her heart was beating wildly, and she was feeling shy and excited about what had just happened.
"Miss."
Yin Gui's voice brought Xu Qinghuan back to her senses.
"Master Marquis, please come over," Yin Gui stepped forward and said, "Someone from the Song family has just arrived. They have given a lot of gifts. They said that Mr. Song has returned in triumph and will come to visit tomorrow. Then I will invite you to the Song family as a guest."
So fast.
Did Mrs. Song arrange these when she returned home?
Xu Qinghuan pursed her lips. As soon as she stood up, she felt something was wrong again and ordered Yin Gui: "Bring me some water. I want to wash it first and then change my clothes."
Hearing this, Yin Gui couldn't help but feel a little strange. Didn't the eldest lady just change her clothes when she went to pick up Mrs. Song? Now her clothes seem to be very clean, but her hair is a little fluffy. Why do you want to make such a big move...
But since the eldest lady said this, she must have a reason.
Yin Gui said, "My slave, I'll go right away."
After freshening up and changing clothes, Xu Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief and went out to see An Yihou.
An Yihou had a gift list from the Song family in his hand. He immediately raised his head when he heard the footsteps, and his daughter, who was as bright as a bright moon, slowly walked up to him.
In the blink of an eye, Qing Huan grew from that little baby to such a slim figure.
It's really the age to get married.
Xu Qinghuan stepped forward and poured another cup of tea for Marquis Anyi.
Anyi Hou handed the gift list to Xu Qinghuan: "The Song family is really anxious. Mrs. Song has arranged everything so well... I don't know what to do. Your grandmother and mother are not here..."
There was a bit of sadness in An Yihou's voice.
When it comes to his daughter's marriage, there is no one to discuss it with. He rarely takes care of family affairs, and he was a little panicked when he suddenly faced this.
His daughter helps the family host the wedding ceremony, but he cannot let her worry about his marriage. Before getting married, all he can do is prepare these things.
Xu Qinghuan looked at the gift list in his hand carefully. The Song family's gift list was very long. It was a bit too grand to visit like this without even proposing marriage.
"You don't have to worry about it," said Marquis An Yi, "however many gifts the Song family can give, my father will prepare the same dowry for you and will never let them overwhelm you."
Putting aside those things in the past, he had to let the Song family know how much he cared about his daughter.
Xu Qinghuan couldn't help but think of her previous life when she was engaged to Li Xu. Her fourth uncle tried his best to arrange everything, but it was only superficially prosperous. Now that her parents are around, these things are not important to her. A word from her father means more to her.
all.
"Father must think about marrying his brother in the future." Xu Qinghuan whispered.
Marquis Anyi knew what his daughter meant. He should consider the two matters of marrying a daughter and marrying a son together, so as not to focus on one at the expense of the other and be criticized in the future.
"Humph," An Yihou had already thrown his son thousands of miles away in his mind, "He doesn't know when. There is no need to worry about him."
His father was always soft-spoken and soft-hearted. Xu Qinghuan said: "Father, the Song family may want to get married this year. You...you have to think about it in your heart."
This year, An Yihou opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Even if we start preparations immediately, it will take some time. Is it possible that they want to keep everything simple? No, I will certainly not agree. Not to mention that you are still young and have plenty of time, Xu
A married woman cannot be careless at all.
If I simply marry you off now, how can I treat you well in the future? I cannot agree to this matter, not only me, but your grandmother and mother will not agree to it."
After An Yihou said this, he looked at his daughter: "What about you... do you want to marry to Quanzhou as soon as possible?"
Xu Qinghuan shook her head. She naturally wanted to be filial to her parents: "But if the Song family did not keep things simple, but instead handled things meticulously and grandly, and Song Chengxuan put a lot of thought into it, it seems we can't refuse."
This is not impossible, the Song family is coming in a menacing way, but what he expected was completely different.
An Yihou's heart felt like it was frozen: "It's so outrageous." He wanted to take his daughter away in such a hurry. I'm afraid the couple would have a hard time at home in the future.
Thinking of this, An Yihou became even more sad.
"Master Hou," the steward at the door came to report, "the prince and princess of Shunyang County are here."
Marquis Anyi was a little surprised as to why Prince Shunjun came to visit suddenly. He stood up and went out immediately to welcome him.
Although the prince of Shunyang County tried his best to restrain himself, he could not hide the anxious look on his face. The princess's eyes were red and swollen, and she had obviously cried just now.
Several people had just walked into the main room. Before they could bow to each other, Princess Shunyang hurriedly spoke: "Master Marquis, Miss Xu, we are here to ask for your help this time."
The princess didn't care about anything else. She took Xu Qinghuan's hand and bowed down: "Miss Xu, you also know about Defang. What do you think we should do?"
Xu Qinghuan looked at the princess: "The court has already caught the suspect. If you interrogate carefully, you should be able to know the truth."
The princess became even more anxious when she mentioned this incident: "The woman named Xiangcui said that Defang gave her money and asked her to conspire to murder. That Qiao Shu's father was also killed by Defang.
He also said that after Defang took advantage of her, he would kill her and silence her."
After the princess said these words, her eyes became even redder: "We, Defang, would not do such a thing. The second uncle committed suicide after being framed before. It was all framed by Su Wan and his accomplices. Defang wanted to do something for the second uncle."
I will be implicated only if I redress my injustice."
The princess choked up after speaking.
Prince Shunyang's face was also very ugly. He looked at An Yihou: "Master Hou, I heard that Quanzi was caught by the prince and the eldest lady when he committed a crime, so I wanted to come here for help. I don't know.
Did the eldest lady discover any clues that day and be able to clear Defang's innocence?"
An Yihou looked at Prince Shunyang: "Your Majesty, what is going on? You have just arrived in Changzhou, why did the prince... What do these things have to do with the second master in the house?"
Prince Shunyang pondered for a moment and then said: "I'm afraid my second brother was killed by Su Wan. Now that Su Wan has been arrested, Defang wants to use this to find out the truth and avenge his second uncle." As he said that, he looked at Xu Qinghuan,
"Defang should have already told the eldest lady about this matter."
Xu Qinghuan nodded.
The king of Shunyang County said: "Su Wan is very important as the eldest princess's consort, but Defang has always felt that there is someone behind Su Wan... that person may be a royal family member, and he is not far away from the political situation like us.
man of."
When An Yihou heard this, he became serious: "Then the prince is suspicious of anyone?"
