Chapter 10 Recuperation

To talk about why Lu Xiaoqing was obsessed with making Xia Shuanghan his granddaughter-in-law, at first he really just planned to repay the grace of saving his life. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 As the saying goes, there is no way to repay the grace of saving a life, only to make a promise. Lu Xiaoqing is a man, and it is not applicable to him to make a personal promise, although he once thought about marrying his young daughter to his benefactor's son, but when he visited Xia Jingzhi, Xia Jingzhi was already preparing for his marriage. If Lu Xiaoqing lets his daughter go to beat the mandarin duck with a stick at this time, it is not a marriage, it is a feud! So I had to give up.

What about marrying his own granddaughter to Xia Jingzhi's son? It's not good, Xia Shuanghan's mother damaged her body when she gave birth to her first child, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to get pregnant (so Xia Chaoyang will be eleven years younger than Xia Shuanghan), there is no way, Lu Xiaoqing hit Xia Shuanghan's head with the idea. The glory and wealth, peace and happiness promised to the benefactor's granddaughter for a lifetime are enough to repay the grace of saving lives, right? Lu Xiaoqing obviously thought so, so when Xia Shuanghan was not yet full moon, he specially brought a lobbyist with a lotus tongue to visit Xia's house, and made a marriage contract between Xia Shuanghan and Lu Shaoyun with a strong attitude.

Subsequently, after years of contact and understanding, Dingguo Gong slowly changed his attitude towards Xia Shuanghan. In his mind, Xia Shuanghan is no longer just a granddaughter-in-law who is set to repay his kindness, but a granddaughter-in-law whom he recognizes and thinks that she is indeed compatible with Lu Shaoyun.

Ding Guogong and the deceased Duchess Guogong had five sons and three daughters. The first three sons were bloodied before they got married, and they didn't leave a son and a half daughter. Both daughters died at a young age. Therefore, the Duchess of Guo, who did not want to experience the pain of losing her son again, resolutely let the remaining two sons follow the path of civil officials. As for the grandchildren, the third generation of the Dingguo Mansion is not only Lu Shaoyun, but also all the men are scholars.

Lu Xiaoqing, who was born in the army, was the most reluctant to be red tape, and he was not used to seeing the sour Confucianism of scholars, so he was not very close to his two remaining sons. Lu Xiaoqing always disagrees with the two daughters-in-law from a beautiful family, and the way they teach their granddaughters.

Compared with those granddaughters who only revolve around clothes, jewelry, rouge and gouache all day long, Lu Xiaoqing prefers to see the world under the leadership of his parents and live a chic and casual summer frost. Especially on the night of the Lantern Festival, Xia Shuang Han rushed into the fire to save people, which was quite in line with Lu Xiaoqing's intentions.

"Only such a strong, brave, affectionate and righteous woman can match my favorite grandson!" So, four days after the Lantern Festival, Xia Shuanghan's injuries were stable, and when he planned to leave the Guogong Mansion with his father and younger brother on the second day, Lu Xiaoqing called Xia Jingzhi, Xia Shuanghan and Lu Shaoyun to his study together, ready to talk openly and honestly about the marriage contract between the Lu Xia family.

"Daddy, when you enter Lu Guogong's study, if you talk about my marriage with Lu Wugongzi, can you not ask anything, stand firmly on my side, and fully support all my decisions?" Walking slowly on the way to Lu Xiaoqing's residence, Xixia Courtyard, Xia Shuanghan whispered his request to Xia Jingzhi.

"......" Xia Jingzhi tilted his head to look at his daughter, and after thinking about it for a few seconds, he said: "As long as you make up your mind after careful consideration, and you are willing to bear the corresponding consequences for your words and deeds, Daddy will always support you." ”

"Thank you, Daddy." Xia Shuanghan smiled gratefully at her father's unconditional trust and support, and after Xia Jingzhi withdrew her gaze and looked ahead, she stopped making a sound.

In fact, after waking up from a slumber, Xia Shuanghan had already anticipated the inevitability of this conversation according to his understanding of Lu Xiaoqing in his previous life. She once thought about agreeing with her father in advance on all matters related to this marriage, and when the time came, the father and daughter would go into battle together to refute all the possible reasons for Lu Xiaoqing's "opposition to the dissolution of the marriage contract". But in the end, she didn't do that.

Xia Shuanghan is currently in the Dingguo Mansion, which is equivalent to the territory of the Xu family, the wife of the prince. In the Qingfeng Temple, including the first-class maid Ruixiang, there are eyeliner of Mrs. Shiko everywhere. As the saying goes, the wall has ears, so it is impossible for Xia Shuanghan to tell Xia Jingzhi in Qingfeng Courtyard without scruples, saying that he doesn't want to marry Lu Shaoyun.

According to Xia Shuanghan's previous life, Mrs. Xu has always been a person who protects her shortcomings, her son can't look down on others, but the girl next to her can't look down on her son. Therefore, if Xia Shuanghan's intention to express his unwillingness to marry Lu Shaoyun reached the ears of the Xu family, he didn't know how much trouble he would have to add in the future. Therefore, Xia Shuanghan finally chose to ask for his father's support at the moment before entering the Sunset Courtyard.

As for what Xia Shuanghan wanted to say after entering the Sunset Courtyard, and what attitude she used, she didn't care. Mrs. Shizi didn't have the courage to install someone in her father-in-law's courtyard because Xia Shuanghan knew in her previous life (she couldn't insert it if she wanted to, the servants in the courtyard of Xixia were all Lu Xiaoqing's disabled old subordinates, who acted decently, spoke cautiously, and were only loyal to Lu Xiaoqing alone), Lu Xiaoqing and Lu Shaoyun were not long-tongued people, and there was no possibility of leaking the conversation in the study. Therefore, speaking freely in the sunset courtyard does not have any worries for Xia Shuanghan.

"The reason why I called you all here today is because I believe that you all know everything in your hearts, and I won't beat around the bush." In the study room of Xixia Courtyard, Lu Xiaoqing, the Duke of Dingguo, who was sitting on a chair behind the desk, took the lead in speaking: "Originally, according to the rules of the Han people, Tingxuan and the frost girl had no say in this matter. But after all, the frost girl's mother is from the Rong tribe, and I don't want to let the good relatives become enemies, so it's better to talk openly and honestly with a few people present. ”

In the silent study, Xia Jingzhi sat indifferently in the guest seat on the side, while Xia Shuanghan and Lu Shaoyun stood obediently in front of the desk, straight and silent. They were all waiting for Lu Xiaoqing to continue.

"Frost girl, I believe you should have a clear understanding of what happened on the night of the Lantern Festival in the past few days." After a short silence, Lu Xiaoqing finally began to take a stand. "The fact that Ting Xuan brought you back to my Dingguo Mansion for treatment on the night of the Lantern Festival has been heard by many families living in the west of the city. Therefore, for the sake of your reputation and the reputation of the Dingguo Mansion, I plan to let you and Tingxuan get married before the end of this year, what do you think about this? ”

"Back to Lu Guogong, although Shuang Han is grateful for your kindness, he really can't agree with your statement." After a brief opening remarks, Xia Shuanghan cut straight to the core of the problem.

"First, Lu Wugongzi saved my life that night, which is a favor for me, and I married him, but I am not repaying the favor. The two families of Lu Xia are already very different, and the appearance of Frost and Cold is flawed, no matter how you look at it, I am not a good match for Lu Wugongzi. insisted on promoting this marriage, but it turned into frost and cold, which delayed Lu Wugongzi in vain. ”

"Second, as the saying goes, 'human life is a matter of heaven, and things are in a hurry', Lu Wugongzi's treatment of Shuanghan that night was only because of the urgency of the situation, if you insist on saying that what Lu Wugongzi did hindered the reputation of Shuanghan, it is pure nonsense, and it seems that our Xia family repays grievances with virtue."

"Third, this marriage contract was originally made by you, Grandpa Guo, to repay my grandfather's life-saving grace back then, and now Shuang Han's life is all saved by Lu Wugongzi, one life is worth one life, and the two families of Lu Xia now owe each other no more, so there is really no need to fulfill the marriage contract. To sum up the above three points, Shuanghan believes that dissolving the marriage contract is the most correct choice. Of course, considering that the immediate dissolution of the marriage contract now would be detrimental to the reputation of the Dingguo Mansion. Shuang Han is willing to wait, wait for a year and a half, and after everything is calm on the night of the Lantern Festival, it is not too late to dissolve the marriage contract. It's just that I want to wronged Lu Wugongzi and get married later. ”
