In the next few days, Xia Shuanghan recuperated in Qingfeng Courtyard with peace of mind according to the requirements of Lu Guogong and Imperial Doctor Di, except for going to Xiaoxiang Garden at sunrise every day to practice boxing, Xia Shuanghan was closed for the rest of the time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 During the period of recuperation, several of Lu Shaoyun's sisters-in-law and sisters, as well as his sisters, and even Mrs. Shizi, the mistress of the Guogong Mansion, and Lu Shaoyun's aunt all visited Xia Shuanghan in Qingfeng Courtyard.

Facing this familiar face in her previous life, Xia Shuanghan did not feel resentment or anger, but only felt deep relief: Fortunately, she doesn't have to marry into the Dingguo Mansion in this life, and she doesn't have to deal with these women who know people and faces, and if she wants to call her mother in this life, she would rather find a rope to hang herself.

"Mother, I don't want that ugly monster to be my fifth sister-in-law!" In the Shanlan Courtyard of the main courtyard of the Guogong Mansion, the youngest child of Mrs. Shizi, the eleven-year-old eighth lady of the Guogong Mansion, Lu Ruqian, was pouting with a small mouth and a look of displeasure, "The fifth brother is dignified and has a bright future, why do you want to marry an ugly monster from a small family as a daughter-in-law?" And she's a seventeen-year-old girl! I really don't know what my grandfather thinks. ”

"Honorable Miss Eight, it's good that you know this in your heart, but it's not okay to say it so bluntly." Mama Gui, the most powerful woman beside Mrs. Shizi, smiled and dissuaded: "There are no outsiders in this Shanlan Courtyard, and it doesn't matter if Miss Eight talks about it here, but if this word reaches the ears of Grandpa Guo, Miss Eight will be disciplined." ”

"I know that." Lu Ruqian pouted impatiently and said, "I'm not a child anymore, I still understand these truths." It was only because I was here with my mother that I opened up to talk about it. ”

"Yes, yes, it's the slave who talks a lot." As the right-hand man of Mrs. Shizi, and once worked as an errand by the side of the Queen Mother, Mama Gui always has a little face to speak in front of many young masters and ladies in the Guogong Mansion.

"Qian'er, have you completed all the homework assigned to you today?" Mrs. Xu, who was leaning on the beauty couch, raised her hand and rubbed her sore forehead, and said majestically: "Don't look at the fact that I went to Qingfeng Courtyard with a few sisters today, and I don't have to practice the piano when I come back. ”

"Yes, Mother." Lu Ruqian drooped her head dissatisfiedly and retreated as she said. After a while, the sound of a ding-dong piano sounded in the courtyard of Chaolu.

"Madam, what Miss Eighth said is yes, the matter between the Xia family and the fifth young master must be solved in a way, and it can't be delayed any longer." After Lu Ruqian left the house, Mama Gui, who was standing behind Mrs. Xu, rubbed the acupuncture points on Xu's head and said: "This time the matter is almost well known, according to the temperament of the grandfather of the country, it must be ******** recognized this family matter, and he will let the fifth young master marry the Xia family into the door." The fifth young master and the Naxia clan are not young, and it is estimated that they will get married before the end of this year, and if the lady does not start to prepare, I am afraid that she will be passive. ”

"Can I still not know this?" Xia closed his eyes and sighed leisurely and said: "A few years ago, Tingxuan has been at the border, and I think that if he has an accident, whether he is paralyzed or disabled, it is always good to have a daughter-in-law to take care of him. After all, the Xia family is not from a high background, which is convenient for me to handle, and I can't make any waves in the Guogong Mansion. Even if there is a case, Ting Xuan ......" Xu paused when he said this, skipped the unlucky word and continued: "Let the Xia family come in and raise a child under his knees, Ting Xuan will have it in the future, and he will not need to rely on the incense of his nephews." But now, Ting Xuan has not only come back well, but also made military achievements at the border pass, and he was the prince's companion for seven years before joining the army, and the prince's position has been very stable over the years. Tingxuan's future development is simply unlimited, how can a woman like Xia's be worthy of my son Tingxuan? ”

"Isn't it, such an outstanding son as the fifth young master, what kind of noble girl in Beijing should he marry?" Mama Gui echoed Xu's words and said, "It's just that the Xia family is an uneducated Hu person, and this time he was disfigured for other men." A woman who has been engaged to a marriage contract since childhood and a foreign man who is not her fiancé are not clear, is this something that everyone has done? If a woman who does not abide by the way of a woman, if such a well-educated woman enters the gate of the Guogong Mansion, isn't it insulting and slapping the lady's face! ”

"Hey, it's a pity, Ting Xuan wants to do such a foolish thing and bring the Xia clan back to the house." Xu frowned dissatisfiedly and sighed: "I don't want to think that Grandpa Guo decided this marriage back then. The traveling doctor of the Xia family saved Grandpa Guo, not my son Tingxuan, and my father-in-law wanted to repay his kindness, so he should have married his daughter before Xia Hanlin got married. If your daughter doesn't marry, she has to put my son in it, what is the reason? ”

"When the marriage contract was set, my husband persuaded me, saying that Xia Hanlin was young and promising, and he fell into Tanhua in his twenties, and when Tingxuan got married, the Xia family should also change, and it can be regarded as the right family, but now? Isn't the Xia family still on the stage? Over the years, I have been using the excuse that Tingxuan is at the border, not when I am talking about marriage, so I have never mentioned to others that he has already made a marriage contract. My idea is that if he can return after a few years, I can still think of a way to withdraw this marriage that few people know about, and then find a good daughter-in-law for Tingxuan. Ke Tingxuan, who is not angry, came out on the night of the Lantern Festival, and spread out all the things that I had deliberately concealed for so many years, and now I still want to dissolve the marriage contract, but I am afraid it will be even more difficult. ”

"Madam, don't be discouraged, there will definitely be room for maneuver in the affairs of the fifth young master." Mama Gui's words softly soothed her master.

"Having said that, it is not easy to leave no traces and make my father-in-law not suspicious. Hey, it's no wonder that I was busy preparing for the New Year years ago, and Tingxuan went home for the first time in so many years to reunite with me and the master, and I was overjoyed for a while, so I didn't think of the Xia family. If I had done it a few months ago, why would I have all these troubles now? Xu Shi said and picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip and said, "Fortunately, this fire in Dongshi didn't cause anything to Xia Hanlin." If Xia Hanlin has three longs and two shorts, then this marriage really can't be dissolved. With his father-in-law's personality, he will let Ting Xuan help the Xia family deal with the funeral, not to mention, and secondly, he is afraid that he will have to let Ting Xuan marry the Xia family into the door in a hundred days. At that point, I really have less room to maneuver. ”

In fact, as Xu said, when Xia Shuanghan lost his father and younger brother in his previous life, and he was forced to take care of the funeral alone, Lu Guogong did send his eldest granddaughter-in-law and Lu Shaoyun to the Xia family to help one or two. After Xia Jingzhi entered the soil and became peaceful, Lu Guogong did not want the descendants of his benefactor to be helpless to live outside, and proposed to let Xia Shuanghan and Lu Shaoyun get married in a hurry within 100 days. During the preparations for the marriage, Mrs. Xu, the prince of the world, did not think of doing something in secret, so that this family affair could not be successful. It's a pity that Lu Xiaoqing paid too much attention to this marriage, and he kept a close eye on all links, and the time before Xia Shuanghan entered the door was too tight, and the Xu family couldn't find a chance to start, so he had to compromise.

Of course, even if Xia Shuanghan entered the door, the Xu family never planned to give up her original insistence, and she finally let Xia Shuanghan leave the Guogong Mansion as she wished, and let her son marry the daughter-in-law she liked. But was she really happy with everything in the end? Not really. After Xia Shuanghan died, Lu Shaoyun took her coffin and asked her to go to the border alone, and she died alone, and she didn't leave a son and a half daughter after her death. simply used his own actions to tell his mother, what is retribution!

Just when the wife of the prince Xu and her confidant grandmother were discussing how to solve Xia Shuanghan without leaving a trace, Lu Xiaoqing, the Duke of Dingguo, was not idle, he was thinking about how to let Xia Shuanghan marry into the Guogong Mansion.
