It soon became dark, the lanterns in the Anyihou Mansion were all lit up, and the red lantern under the Octagonal Pavilion swayed slightly in the wind.
Feng Chu stopped and Xu Qinghuan slowly walked towards the pavilion.
Song Chengxuan didn't know what she was thinking, and her figure looked a little bleak. Maybe it was because she didn't have a good conversation with her grandmother? If her grandmother never agreed, this matter would indeed be a bit tricky, but based on her understanding of her grandmother, there must be a reason for her objection.
Yes, she also wanted to know the reason.
Xu Qinghuan was about to step forward to speak when she saw Song Chengxuan turn around, and then she was hugged into a warm embrace.
Different from when he was in the room just now, it seemed to be mixed with some other emotions, fierce and tough, hugging her tightly with so much strength that she was a little breathless.
Xu Qinghuan was a little surprised. This was in the garden. There were lights around the pavilion. People would see what they did here. Thinking about it, she couldn't help but struggle, but Song Chengxuan did not let go.
The person in his arms was very petite and soft, as if he could not withstand any strength. After hearing what Mrs. Xu said, even if he was so close to her, he would feel panic in his heart.
Mrs. Xu's voice sounded in her ears again, "When I first came back, I was lethargic all day long and refused to eat. I would vomit out some even if I ate some. I invited many doctors to come and see, but they couldn't find anything strange. I was the only one."
I knew the inside story in my heart and didn't want to scare the Changxing couple. I never said anything. I took care of Qinghuan with my own hands. The child also lived up to his expectations and gradually got better. However, he would still get sick if he worked too hard. I once asked the alchemist about that kind of pill.
It is extremely harmful to the body. The toxin must not be completely removed, and it may have an impact on the children. This kind of thing can be gambled in an ordinary family, but the prince of Wei cannot gamble.
If something really goes wrong, can the prince treat Qing Huan kindly? If he marries a good wife after having second thoughts, wouldn't we Qing Huan be pitiful?
Not to mention the prince, even those who are too ambitious, I will not agree to it. Our Xu family cannot afford family interests, personal career, and future. It is also selfish. Qing Huan has suffered so much, and I don’t want her.
If you work hard for others, only to be thrown aside in the end, you will be left in the cold. I am afraid it will become an eyesore and a stumbling block, and I wish you could get rid of it immediately.
Today, if someone else comes to ask for my hand in marriage, I can't tell you these things exactly, so I don't have to be taboo when the prince is here."
The cold wind blew on Song Chengxuan's face.
"Master Song..."
Xu Qinghuan's voice finally pulled Song Chengxuan back from his thoughts.
Their eyes met, and his eyes became clear again.
Song Chengxuan said, "Mrs. Tai agreed."
His hand loosened slightly, and the tightness in her chest immediately disappeared, and she couldn't help but take a long breath.
"When I, the elder of the Song family, arrive in the capital, I will bring Baoshan to accept the lottery and discuss the wedding date with the wife." His voice was lower than before, and he looked at her carefully with his head lowered.
Xu Qinghuan's face turned red, so everything went well, but the emotions Song Chengxuan showed just now were very complicated. She looked into his eyes with confusion, and there was a slight ripple there. "What did you say to your grandmother?"
"It's nothing," Song Chengxuan stretched out his hand to smooth Xu Qinghuan's temples, "I promise Mrs. Tai will treat you well."
Xu Qinghuan was startled, "That's all?"
"That's all," Song Chengxuan said, looking in the direction of Mrs. Xu's yard, "Mrs. Xu talked to me a few more words and mentioned the past... those are all in the past."
Xu Qinghuan understood what Song Chengxuan meant: "Thank you."
"Don't thank me," Song Chengxuan said, "The Marquis was not the one who framed my father, nor did he deliberately set up a trap for the Wei Palace under the late emperor's instructions. Too many people died back then, and I hope more
More people survived, so the Xu family does not owe anything to the Wei Palace."
"Sorry," Xu Qinghuan gently held Song Chengxuan's hand, "many things cannot be said right or wrong, and there is no absolute answer. When my father asked Prince Wei to take charge of the overall situation, he said he would protect Prince Wei, but he failed to do it.
, since you have made a promise, you should not back down.
My father will feel guilty for this for the rest of his life."
Song Chengxuan said, "The road ahead is bumpy, and something like this may happen again."
Xu Qinghuan smiled, "I once told Mr. Song that if I marry you, I will wholeheartedly plan for you, advance and retreat with you, and we will be linked to life and death from now on.
If we can't live together, we hope to die together."
Song Chengxuan closed his fingers and held her tightly.
…
In Mrs. Xu’s room.
Mrs. Xu sat on the chair, as if Prince Wei was still standing there and had not left.
"Madam," Yang's mother brought the tea to Mrs. Xu, "I've already said it, isn't it great? You don't have to worry anymore. As you said, no one else would be able to tell you the ins and outs in detail.
, I can only lie and say that the eldest lady is not in good health, and I will have to think about how to reconcile it in the future. If the other party hears the reason and refuses to agree to the marriage, the eldest lady's reputation will also be damaged."
This is the reason why Mrs. Xu has never discussed marriage for Qing Huan.
Mrs. Xu sighed deeply.
Yang's mother said, "Think of the best in everything. Since the prince has agreed, he will treat the eldest daughter well. If he can't do it in time, you can question him again."
That being said, there is nothing so easy.
However, Song Chengxuan's words just now still shocked her.
The Crown Prince of Wei had just promised her here that even if Qing Huan could not get pregnant, he would have step-heirs from the clan's descendants and would never take concubines.
Although the promise is made now and then, if the prince of Wei becomes a big deal and wants to sit in that position, if he doesn't take a concubine, he will just go with the wind, but now that he can say this, it can be considered as a sincerity.
Mother Yang heard some words while she was outside, and her eyes were already wet. She wiped them with her sleeves and said, "Mrs. Madam, you should be happy. The bad things are over. Everything will be good in the future. Now everything is settled.
Calculate the time, our family will have a happy event soon."
"It's so fast," Mrs. Xu stretched out her hand and gestured, "When I carried Qing Huan to the palace that day, she was just a little older, and now she is getting married.
It seems I can’t keep her.”
After Mrs. Xu finished speaking, she stood up and said, "Let's go. Don't keep everyone waiting. Tonight, we will take care of them."
"That's right." Mother Yang helped Mrs. Xu move forward.
Mrs. Xu took two steps, looked at the crutch in her hand, picked it up and handed it to Mother Yang, "Put it away, you won't need it anymore."
Mother Yang responded with a smile.
Mrs. Xu walked out of the house, and the red lantern seemed to light up the entire Anyihou Mansion.
A full moon hung above their heads, as if paying special attention to them.
Mrs. Xu rushed over with people, "Madam... how... is this... going on?"
"It's time for you to get busy," Mrs. Xu said. "You can't be careless in preparing for the wedding, especially since Qing Huan is going to marry far away. She needs to bring more things and have more manpower. I have to personally select a few good men for her."
Mrs. Xu said and walked forward. Mrs. Xu stood there and looked at Mrs. Tai's back. Does Mrs. Xu mean that she agreed to marry the Song family?
