Chapter 260: Resolute Will
In fact, there is no need for millet to be entangled, when she came out of the bathtub and just put on her dress, Mrs. Shangshu Huang happened to enter the palace and also learned the news that she had found millet. hurriedly entered Yalanju, and ignored the prince who was standing in the courtyard in pain.
"Xiaomi, my dear daughter, where have you been, scared to death as a mother." Huang rushed into the house, and when he saw Xiaomi, he immediately hugged the person into his arms, and Xiaomi struggled to push it away, but after all, he couldn't bear to do it.
However, Xiaomi also knew in his heart that the possibility of continuing to stay in the Zhong family was very small. What can this poor woman do? She didn't do anything wrong.
"Xiaomi, don't be afraid, if there is really anything, your father will make decisions for you. Let's go home. Huang hugged Xiaomi and cried for a while before letting go and said.
Xiaomi has the heart to say that he can't go back, but if he doesn't go back to Zhong's house, he won't even have a place to stay except for the inn now. If I knew this, I would have bought a house earlier.
Xiaomi thinks that it doesn't matter if you go to Zhong's house first, take a good rest, think about your future plans, and look at the situation before talking about the future. In the seven days of Ruyue Garden, because of Yin Zixuan's actions, she really couldn't calm down and think about things.
In the past few days, she has also checked her feelings for Yin Zixuan by herself, and feels that she has occasionally fantasized about him, and she has felt sorry for him several times because he is such a good man but can't become her own man.
said that he had never been emotionally attracted to him, but he lied to himself, after all, his actual age was not thirteen years old at all. Besides, he's really good. When the two get along day and night, they are so harmonious and happy. That's interesting!
However, who made him a prince, and at the same time an ambitious prince. In this case, even if Xiaomi is moved by him, she doesn't want to fight hard, because she is a self-aware person.
This self-knowledge does not mean that Xiaomi feels unworthy of him, but that he knows that he cannot be compared with the power of the country. So I don't want to make trouble for myself. I thought about it. As long as you keep your heart, you can always get along with him without incident.
didn't think about it, and ended the peaceful relationship between the two. It's not Princess Ouyang, it's Yin Zixuan.
"Xiaomi? Let's go home with my mother. Huang saw that Xiaomi was stunned and greeted in a low voice.
Xiaomi came back to his senses and nodded, and followed Huang out.
"Girl. Let's put this on, my hair is still wet. Be careful not to catch a cold. Ruby found the cloak and chased after him, helping Millet put it on.
"Well, you girl is really interested." Huang couldn't help but praise.
Ruby responds in a panic; "What a slave should do." I don't know why, anyway, after knowing that Xiaomi has no intention of continuing to stay in the Zhong family. When Ruby looked at the woman, she felt a little uncomfortable, not guilty. Still weak-hearted.
Millet was held by Huang's arm and walked out.
In the yard. The people who stood together, including Yin Zixuan. Millet walked past him without pausing or looking at him. Since he rejected him, it is absolutely impossible to tell him, so simply stop mother-in-law.
Yin Zixuan put his hands behind his back and watched the girl leave without looking at him. The fist in his sleeve was clenched tightly, but his heart still did not give up. If you can't even figure out a little girl, what else can you talk about doing big things?
However, now he can't open his mouth to keep it, and he can only wait for the opportunity slowly. Left and right, Xiaomi will not be the princess of Qin. and the marriage contract between her and King Qin or something, all of which will take time to resolve.
Yin Zixuan can be very sure in his heart that if the Zhong family will not stand on Xiaomi's side and help her solve the problem of the marriage contract, then Xiaomi will not treat the Zhong family as its own. With her temperament, no matter how capable Zhong Shangshu is, he can't tame her.
provoked her, but I was afraid that I wouldn't even be able to keep people.
Thinking like this, Yin Zixuan motioned for Fengyu to come over and explained in a low voice. Others couldn't hear it, only saw the wind nodding vigorously.
Besides, when Xiaomi returned to Zhongfu, he didn't go to the study to see Zhong Jiantang first according to Huang's wishes, but went directly back to his residence and went to bed.
Huang didn't dare to say anything, so he whispered a few maidservants outside the door and waited carefully. Then he entered the house again, and sat on the edge of the bed and looked at his daughter, who was lying with his back to him.
"I won't marry King Qin." The man on the bed suddenly said this.
"My mother knows, don't worry, your father is already thinking of a way." Huang responded quickly. "Look at your face, I haven't rested well in the past few days, so I won't disturb you to rest, sleep well, and tell my subordinates if you need anything.
For my mother, I'm going to ask your father how the marriage contract is. After Huang finished speaking, he helped his daughter pull down the quilt, and then left and hurriedly walked to the study.
As soon as I entered the study, I felt that the atmosphere inside was wrong. Her husband and several sons all had gloomy faces.
"Mother, you can't be so used to her. broke into such a big disaster, and she didn't know what was wrong. went to visit King Xuan's mansion, but refused to come back. This time, she disappeared for six or seven days at once, and the family was anxious for her, looking for her everywhere regardless of the gossip outside, but she was fine, and she didn't come to see her father when she came back.
She didn't treat us as family at all, she didn't think of this place as her own home. The second Zhong Weiqi saw that everyone was silent, and couldn't help but speak.
"What the second brother said is very true, I think she is not as good as the seventh brother." The sixth Zhong Weijun also spoke, but his voice was not as loud as the second child, it was obvious that he was angry, but he was also afraid that his mother would be angry.
Huang ignored the words of the two sons and walked directly to her husband to ask; "Master, what does the emperor say about the marriage contract?"
"How so? After the incident in the main hall, I didn't have the opportunity to see the emperor alone, and I asked to see him several times, either to say that the emperor was resting, or that there were too many folds. This kind of thing can no longer be said when you go to court, what do you want me to do? Zhong Jiantang said very irritably.
I thought that my youngest son would not be successful, but fortunately, there were still six obedient ones. It's good now, my daughter has finally been recovered, but it's a big trouble. What Lao Qi did outside was to lose the face of Zhongfu. But what about this precious girl? It's all the trouble that can kill him!
If she was closer to herself, she would make him feel better. However, that girl was not close to him at all, and she looked at him as if she was a stranger, which was what annoyed Zhong Jiantang the most.
It's not that he wants to be honest, he really wants to send someone to Yunling Town to find the people of the Luo family. Do a good job of settling accounts.
"What does your majesty mean by this?" Huang asked anxiously.
"What do you mean? Do you need to ask? The marriage contract between Xiaomi and the sixth prince was set by the emperor. Right now. Xiaomi said that it would be okay if he didn't marry the sixth prince, but King Xuan joined in again. Now, there are rumors everywhere in the capital that the two princes are jealous of our daughter.
The emperor is the most face-saving person. Isn't that a slap in the face? The sixth prince has not followed the court recently, and I don't know what his plans are. I think this matter is in a hurry. Don't worry about that, just take care of your precious girl. Don't let her run out and cause trouble again. Zhong Jiantang tried hard to treat his wife better, but as soon as the words came out. The tone still seemed bad.
"My precious daughter? Isn't it your daughter, sir? If you don't think you can accept it, I'll move out with Xiaomi and live alone. "Huang was already very haggard because of looking for his daughter during this time, and he still felt a little guilty about his husband. Now, when I heard their accusations and complaints about my daughter, I immediately became annoyed.
It's also because I haven't had a good rest lately. In addition, the emotions were too excited at this time, and Huang just finished shouting. fell to the ground in front of him in the dark, but fortunately, there were many people on both sides, and they held on in time. However, the man had already fainted.
There was a mess in the study, calling mother, go to the doctor.
None of this is known to Xiaomi. In the evening, she didn't see Huang coming, and she didn't think much about it. The maidservant cautiously asked her if she wanted to eat, and she nodded. It can't be as decadent as it was in Ruyue Yuan.
You have to cheer up yourself for big things, you should eat, you should drink, otherwise you will have the energy to deal with it.
After returning to Zhongfu, there is also a little benefit, quiet. Except for the Huang family, who came to sit with Xiaomi every day from the second day, no one really bothered him. Zhong Jiantang never came once, and no one from the Zhong family came.
Huang didn't talk about the marriage contract, and Xiaomi didn't ask. Anyway, she also knew that it was useless to be in a hurry, she had to wait for the opportunity.
On the third day after returning to Zhong's house, Huang personally took a letter and handed it to Xiaomi, saying that it was sent by the son-in-law of Master Li's family, and he named him to hand it over to Xiaomi. Xiaomi guessed that it was the situation in Yunling Town.
After opening the letter and reading it briefly, Xiaomi really guessed correctly, it was indeed the situation in Yunling Town. said that it was okay over there, and the people from the government let go of several members of the Luo family, saying that it was a misunderstanding and was arrested by mistake.
The letter also mentioned that Luo Qingshan's youngest daughter also left a letter and ran away from home and is still missing, but it is very strange that the people of the Luo family just looked for it nearby and gave up.
Hehe, it turns out that the girl also ran away from home? It's just that I don't know what she wrote in the letter that can make the Luo family so reassured, just look for it. Or, what is the secret of Xiaohui's running away from home?
At the end of the letter, Li Qiyu said sorry to Xiaomi, saying that the person who was sent out got sick on the way back and delayed the day of return.
Anyway, knowing that the Luo family is indeed fine, one of the few big stones pressed on Xiaomi's heart finally landed. She didn't get her own things right, and she didn't have the time to find out the real reason why Xiaohui ran away from home, no matter what the reason was, it had nothing to do with her, so why bother.
Huang was curious about what was written in the letter, but in order to respect her daughter, she chose to go aside to tidy up Xiaomi's dress. Yu Guang saw Millet fold the letter paper and stuff it back into the letter case, and then walked over.
Xiaomi didn't say it, and she didn't ask. The Huang family now knows very well that if it weren't for this, this daughter's attitude towards herself would be the same as that towards her husband.
"I want to get out and about." Millet looked up and asked Huang.
After confirming that the Luo family was fine, she didn't want to continue to nest in the house. It's time to go out and take a walk, and see if there's a suitable house. This time, she really didn't want to run away.
"Okay, bring more silver, and bring a few more people. When I saw something delicious, I brought some fun back to my mother. Huang was not at ease, but he also knew that he couldn't let her stay at home like this all the time.
When I went out this time, the maid Xiaomi only brought one, and there were six families waiting outside the door. Looking at their posture, it seems that they are all practicing families. Whether they are arranged by Zhong Shangshu to protect themselves or monitor themselves, Xiaomi doesn't care, anyway, the purpose of coming out today is to hang out.
Even if you look at the house by yourself, you don't need to be sneaky.
After taking the carriage to the main street, Millet got out of the car and walked around, she felt that she was in a good mood today, but for some reason, she was not interested in anything. I turned most of the street, but I didn't buy anything.
"Let's go, let's go to Minghu." Millet was bored and said to the coachman when he remembered a place.
"Girl, there's not much to see in that place right now." The maidservant who came with her said cautiously.
"It doesn't matter." Xiaomi said a few words, and the maid quickly shut up and signaled the coachman to hurry up.
Ming Lake, millet has been there in summer, and there are many lotus flowers on the lake, which is very beautiful.
Half an hour later, the carriage arrived at its destination. There are a lot of people here in the summer, and now there are no people to be seen, and there is a row of painting boats and boats parked on the lake, and you can't even see the captain.
As far as the eye can see, there are only dried lotus leaves and the occasional fish swimming up in the lake. The willow branches by the lake are all bare.
When the people in the painting boat saw someone coming over on the shore, some people walked out of the painting boat to see the excitement, and said in their hearts, which lady is this, and she actually came here?
"Go, rent a boat, this girl wants to swim in the lake." Seeing that there was no response from the people following her, Xiaomi had no choice but to open her mouth and order.
As soon as I heard her say this, the people who came with me reacted quickly, and immediately ran over and picked out the most beautiful painting boat, and greeted the people inside. It was done quickly, and I turned around and asked Xiaomi to come over.
The owner of the painting boat was not there, and the steward at the bottom hurriedly came out to entertain Xiaomi. I apologized that because of this season, no one came, so there were no snacks and fruits on the boat, and there were no dancing musicians.
Xiaomi said it was okay and got on the boat. Walk straight to the middle and sit down by the window. Don't look at the fact that there is no business in this season, but the painting boat is cleaned clean, and there is no dust at all.
The captain rowed the oars, and the painting boat left the lake, and at this time, the steward brought melon seeds and peanuts and a few dried fruits, and sent them to the millet, and hurried to boil water, tea has always been there.
On the painting boat parked by the lake, some people are envious, there is still business in this season, what a windfall! Suddenly, with sharp eyes, they saw another group of people coming this way, all on horseback.
Emma, what day is this...... (To be continued)
