Chapter 126: Plea
When Xia Shuanghan returned to Xia's house after separating from Lin Xuran, the hour had already passed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info used Xia Shuanghan, who Xia Jingzhi asked Aunt Fu to keep a warm dinner for her in the hall, and before she could explain to Xia Jingzhi and Xia Chaoyang the reason why she returned to Beijing early, Lu Shijie, the father of Dingguo and Lu Shaoyun, came to the door with gifts.
In response to the Xu family's kidnapping and imprisonment of Xia Chaoyang, what is the attitude of the men of the Lu family, Xia Shuanghan is generally right. And Lu Shijie, who has been in the officialdom for more than 20 years, does not need Xia Jingzhi to explain, and has already understood that Xia Shuanghan's "escape from marriage" last summer must have another hidden meaning.
Lu Shijie, who apologized to Xia Jingzhi on behalf of his wife Xu, finally did not mention the "marriage between Lu Xia's two families", which he couldn't do, but left after leaving the medicines and supplements specially prepared for Xia Chaoyang, and left.
Subsequently, when the eldest young master of the Lu family, who put down the gifts and said goodbye to Chen Juntang with the helpless imperial doctor, stepped out of the gate of the Chen family in the west of the city, in the study of Xia Jingzhi of the Xia family in Shuanghe Lane in the east of the city, Xia Shuanghan's explanation and narration also began.
Putting aside the fact that he and Lu Shaoyun were in love with each other, Xia Shuanghan, who informed his father and younger brother of the entire latent plan and the encirclement and suppression operation, as well as the reason why Dingguo Gong went out of Beijing one by one, basically satisfied Xia Chaoyang's curiosity and asked him not to spread what he heard tonight, and sent him back to the bedroom.
Subsequently, in order to prepare her father in her heart so that she would not be completely overwhelmed when she confronted Su Yixing or King Xiangyang one day in the future, Xia Shuanghan roughly told Su Yixing what she wanted to marry after removing all the details that made her feel embarrassed just by recalling it.
"Su Yixing? Su Shilang of the Criminal Department? Hearing what Xia Shuanghan said, Su Yixing wanted to marry her, Xia Jingzhi was almost completely stunned. He didn't understand why a man like Xiangyang Wang Shizi, who would not have anything to do with his daughter at all, suddenly came up with the idea of marrying Xia Shuanghan.
Subsequently, thinking of the fact that Su Yixing went to Jiuping Iron Mine last year to investigate the case, Xia Jingzhi, who instantly understood what Xia Shuanghan had deliberately concealed from Xia Chaoyang's "how to return to Beijing", finally solved the doubts in his heart.
Xia Shuanghan's rough account of falling into the ice river did not sound dangerous, but Xia Jingzhi knew that it was just a modification made by Xia Shuanghan in order to comfort him and Chaoyang; Xia Shuanghan's general story about Su Yixing's intention to marry her, although it sounded like it was due to the treatment by the glacier, but Xia Jingzhi knew that it was just a deliberate deletion made by Xia Shuanghan who had already made up his mind in his heart and didn't want him to worry about it anymore.
"Frost and cold, after this incident, my father believes that you have indeed grown up." After Xia Shuanghan found Xia Chaoyang back this afternoon, Xia Jingzhi has now accepted the fact that his daughter's mind has fully matured. So, Xia Jingzhi, who had made up his mind to let Xia Shuanghan have full authority to handle his own affairs from now on, smiled a little wistfully.
"Frost and cold, Daddy knows that now you have the ability to take care of your own affairs, and there is no need to ask Daddy's opinion for many things. Therefore, if you don't want to say something to your father, your father will stop asking. It's just that Daddy wants you to remember that one day in the future, when you encounter something beyond your ability and you can't make up your mind and need the guidance of your elders, you can come back to Daddy to discuss. ”
"Daddy, thank you." Xia Shuanghan, who understood the meaning of "whether it is Lu Shaoyun or Su Yixing, you can solve your own life's major matters" from Xia Jingzhi's words, smiled gratefully, "With her father's trust and support, no matter what happens to her daughter in the future, she will definitely hold a rational and calm heart to find the most effective solution." ”
The sound of more drums heralded the end of the hectic March 16. Xia Shuanghan, who slept in her boudoir again after more than half a year, couldn't help but think of Lu Shaoyun who she had always put in her heart in the dead of night.
What happened in the cave after he fell into the deep ditch, what is Lu Shaoyun's current situation, and so on, Xia Shuanghan had already heard Lin Xuran narrate to himself before returning home. Therefore, when Lu Shaoyun returned from the border pass and learned that the marriage contract between the Lu Xia family had been dissolved by her own hands, what kind of reaction he would have, Xia Shuanghan had already predicted it.
is different from Lin Xuran's personal belief in sadness, as the person who knows Lu Shaoyun best in the world, Xia Shuanghan knows that when he returns to Beijing to see her, the emotions he will have definitely do not include sadness and heartache.
Lu Shaoyun and Xia Shuanghan, as two people who are also far more rational than emotional, even if they suddenly encounter something in their lives that they are difficult to accept, they will not lose control of their emotions, so they ignore the people who find out the truth of the matter from the source and find out the corresponding solutions.
Therefore, Xia Shuanghan believes that Lu Shaoyun will have an ecstasy after seeing her who is in good health. And when he learned that the marriage contract between the Queen Mother and Lu Xia's family was dissolved by her, he would eagerly find a way with Lu Xiaoqing to find an effective way to get rid of Pei Huanting completely.
Therefore, Xia Shuanghan believes that her actions of tearing up the marriage certificate and breaking the jade pendant today will not hurt her and Lu Shaoyun's relationship.
It's just that as long as the two of them are stronger than Jin and have a good heart, is it enough? After so many things happened, they still followed the agreement outside the customs at the beginning, and Lu Shaoyun went to the imperial court to ask for instructions, and then became husband and wife, is this really good? In this regard, Xia Shuanghan's answer is no.
If it is said that the past events of his previous life that Lu Shaoyun told her at the beginning, and his sincere dedication to her, were the reasons that moved Xia Shuanghan and induced her to make concessions in the way of marriage. Then, the series of things that the Xu family did after Lu Xiaoqing left Beijing in this life were the fundamental reasons that forced Xia Shuanghan to completely change his attitude and strengthen his original personal position.
Now that the Xu family can go to the Queen Mother to ask for an order, it also means that Lu Shaoyun's deliberate "broken sleeve" misleading has been worn out. Under such circumstances, the Xu family, who was more and more dissatisfied with Xia Shuanghan in his previous life because "Lu Shaoyun was too good to Xia Shuanghan", is even more unlikely to accept a daughter-in-law who "has such a great influence on her son" in this life.
In this way, there is such a mother-in-law who hates herself from the bottom of her heart and presses on it, even if Lu Shaoyun goes to the saint to ask for a decree, Xia Shuanghan can't be optimistic about their future marriage.
After all, according to the tradition of the Rong people, although everyone can make decisions about their own marriage, the aspect of supporting and honoring the elderly is not much different from that of the Han people. Therefore, what if after Xia Shuanghan and Lu Shaoyun got married, the Xu family responded and tossed her every now and then under the guise of illness? Xia Shuanghan can't stand such a nest no matter what.
Therefore, Xia Shuanghan, who had already simulated and predicted the worst outcome in his heart, finally made up his mind: Ting Xuan, sure enough, it is simply impossible for me to accept the Xu family as my mother. Her face, I don't want to see it again in my life! My future child, don't be a grandmother like her! So, either you join the Xia family after settling Pei Huanting's matter, or we will separate and go our separate ways! ”
Like in her previous life, when the conditions of married life could not meet the minimum requirements of Xia Shuanghan, no matter how much she loved Lu Shaoyun, she would not give up her persistence for him.
In today's Xia Shuanghan's eyes, there is no need to have any dealings with the Xu family, and the life of emptiness and grievances has become a necessary condition for her to establish a stable and happy married life. Therefore, if she is still asked to call her mother at Xu's disgusting face in the future, she would rather lose Lu Shaoyun.
In the dim and quiet room, Xia Shuanghan, who was curled up in the quilt and missed Lu Shaoyun, fell asleep after making up his mind and taking a firm position. It's just that at this time, she thinks that her actions today have fundamentally disrupted Su Yixing's plan, but she doesn't know that wanting to get rid of Su Yixing is far from being as simple as she thought.
As Xia Shuanghan's admirer, Su Yixing, who was forced to return her freedom early, was unable to care about her movements after jumping out of the carriage. So, on March 16, Su Yixing, who had returned to the palace for official business, quickly learned about Xia Shuanghan's actions all day long in the carriage returning to Xiangyang Palace.
went straight to Jingzhao Yin Yamen to inquire about his younger brother's situation, and accompanied by Lin Xuran, he made a big fuss about the Dingguo Mansion and brought him back to Xia Chaoyang, tore up the marriage book, smashed the jade pendant and resolutely withdrew from his family, and took Xia Chaoyang straight to Chen's house to visit and condole. These trends are all exactly the same as Su Yixing's prediction at the beginning.
And if there is something really different, then Xia Shuanghan's request to Tolin to convey to the prince should be the only exception.
At the beginning, when Su Yixing heard that Xia Shuanghan had been waiting outside the palace gate for Lin Xuran to enter the East Palace, he thought that Xia Shuanghan should send a message to Lu Shaoyun who was far away at the border pass as soon as possible through His Royal Highness the Prince, so that he could rush back quickly to help him, so he did so.
But then, thinking of the fact that it was impossible for Dingguo Gong, who was out, to no longer have a confidant in Beijing, and Xia Shuanghan's character that it was impossible to leave all the problems and wait for Lu Shaoyun to solve them, Su Yixing understood-Xia Shuanghan didn't need to go to the East Palace specifically to deliver the news.
So, since Xia Shuanghan waiting outside the palace gate is not for Lu Shaoyun's business, the only remaining possibility is her own marriage.
Thinking about this, Su Yixing, without knowing that Xia Shuanghan had a promise from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, although he was hesitant to know whether Ouyang Han would agree to Xia Shuanghan's request, but in order to prevent changes, he finally decided to abandon the original plan and greatly advanced the step of "asking his father to go to the palace to ask for a decree".
"Zhe Chen, that girl from the Xia family, she is really shrewd!" In the main hall of the main courtyard of the Xiangyang Royal Mansion in the west of the city, after going down on this day, Su Chunfeng, who tried to ask the saint for a marriage decree but finally returned empty-handed, had an obvious playful smile on his face. "Do you know that in order not to make you satisfied, she insisted on taking something to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in exchange?"
"I don't know." Because of his father's assistance and understanding in the marriage, Su Yixing, who had already taken the initiative to try to slowly improve the father-son relationship with Su Chunfeng before leaving Beijing last year, was very puzzled, "The saint rejected the request for marriage without even giving you face this time, thinking about it, the chips in Xia Shuanghan's hand are really very weighty." ”
"That's true." Su Chunfeng's subsequent explanation of why the marriage request was rejected can be summarized in the following three points.
First of all, the saint, who had heard the prince tell him about the actions of the hidden trio, knew the fact that Lu Shaoyun's marriage contract with Xia Shuanghan had not expired because of the "escape from marriage" last summer. Therefore, taking advantage of the time when Lu Xiaoqing left Beijing, he entered the palace to ask for the marriage decree of the Queen Mother, which was not recognized by the Holy Lord in essence.
In the face of this kind of "foolish thing that the daughter-in-law did against her father-in-law's instructions", the saint, like the prince, planned to wait for Lu Xiaoqing and Lu Shaoyun to return from the border pass before making a decision. Therefore, even if Xia Shuanghan angrily tears up the marriage book and smashes the token because of the Xu family's behavior of kidnapping Xia Chaoyang, before the marriage between the Lu Xia family is completely concluded, the saint will not arbitrarily issue any marriage decree to make this matter more chaotic.
Secondly, on the night he received Xia Shuanghan's request, the crown prince Ouyang Han truthfully told the saint about Xia Shuanghan's "promise" in exchange for "no marriage". Therefore, considering that the saint needs to fulfill his son's "trustworthiness" and consolidate the loyalty of Lu Shaoyun, who is the prince's right hand, it is impossible for him to forcibly give Su Yixing's fiancée Lu Shaoyun, who has just made meritorious service in the border pass.
Finally, in his spare time, he often talked with Xia Jingzhi about the saint of calligraphy and painting, and he had heard about the spicy things that Xia Shuanghan had done on the street over the years. Xia Shuanghan, as a mixed-race girl who dared to whip people on the street, inherited the fierceness and strength of the Rong people, and the saint also knew about it.
Therefore, in order to prevent the matter of "the holy decree to marry and force the Rong girl to die" from spreading, it was finally used by people with good intentions to shake the friendship that the Rong and Han clans had established with great difficulty, and for the sake of national unity and border stability, the saint would not give marriage to Xia Shuanghan, who did not want to marry Su Yixing at all.
Therefore, to sum up the above three points, Su Yixing, who regarded the "marriage" as a small matter in the eyes of the saint at the beginning, lost the most precious opportunity to marry Xia Shuanghan because of the relationship between underestimating the enemy and arrogance. (To be continued.) )
