Chapter 180, Dying Request
The most important thing for a woman is her appearance, at that time, Su Ximei still felt a little sorry for Su Xizhu in her heart, who knew that now Su Xizhu has become so beautiful, and she will be the first beauty in Shengjing in a year or two.
Su Xizhu, who is not lacking in such appearance and talent, is the successor room of Han Zhan, and after a long time, how can Han Zhan not like it? When the time comes, his wife and young son are in his arms, and it will be difficult for Han Zhan not to be partial. In a few years, who will remember that she Su Ximei is Han Zhan's wife?
At this moment, Su Ximei regretted it, she wanted to follow her mother's words, saying that she didn't need Su Xizhu to be her steproom, but her reason gradually returned.
"Mother, now there is no way out, I have mentioned this matter to my husband several times, the last time my husband couldn't stand my begging and didn't deny it, I'm afraid I have decided to consider Sister Zhu, what do I want to say about my husband now?
Besides, we can't explain to our grandmother, we have done so much before and now we are talking back, and we will really offend our grandmother when the time comes, so what should we do when Brother Hao has something? ”
Now the cost of repentance is too high, and the husband's mother's family will be offended, Su Ximei shook her head, now she can only go all the way to the dark, besides, Sister Zhu is the person of her mother's family, and there are more ways to control her than outsiders.
"Then what about your mother-in-law, who don't agree?" The Zhang family is not giving up, she has to kill the offended people in the third room.
"The husband's side has been loosened, and besides, we can't fool grandmother." Su Ximei shook her head, she didn't have much time, she didn't have time to plan for her carefully, so when Han Zhan remarried someone she didn't know, it might as well be Su Xizhu.
Su Xilan was not in the mood to wander around the Dingguo Mansion, so she went to the guest room to rest under the leadership of the maid, Su Xiju originally accompanied Su Xizhu, but after Zhang and Su Ximei finished talking, they asked Sister Ju to accompany Su Ximei, after all, they are sisters, and Zhang wants them to get along more in the remaining time.
Su Xizhu was wandering in the garden alone, she found that it was very easy for her to come to the Dingguo Mansion alone, and just as she was thinking about it, she heard someone calling her from behind.
"Big sister?" Su Xizhu turned around and saw Xiao Zhengtai Han Xingchen who came to see him last time.
"Oh my God, you can recognize me? It's amazing. Su Xizhu squatted down and touched Han Xingchen's little head, Han Xingchen lowered his head a little shyly, but he still couldn't help but look at Su Xizhu secretly, the big eyes flickered and cute.
Su Xizhu pinched Han Xingchen's little face with a strange aunt's smile, Han Xingchen is already three years old, maybe it was Su Xizhu's words last time that worked, this time Su Xizhu obviously found that Han Xingchen spoke a lot more neatly, and Su Xizhu, who spoke milkily, suddenly felt that it was not so unacceptable to be his stepmother.
"It turns out that our little star has already started reading? What are you reading? ”
"The Three Character Classics taught by the Master." Han Xingchen likes this big sister who is willing to talk to him gently, although the big sister is a little different from the last time I saw her, the taste has not changed, it is warm and fragrant.
"Then Xiao Xingchen can carry some for the big sister?"
"Well, at the beginning of man, nature is good." Han Xingchen's two little hands were cared about behind, although some of the sounds were not very accurate, but he memorized the entire "Three Character Sutra".
"Wow, Xiao Xingchen is amazing." Su Xizhu applauded, this kid can memorize the three-character scripture just after enlightenment, is he really a little prodigy?
Han Zhan was the first at the age of fifteen or sixteen, this child is probably following his father, and heredity is really a magical thing.
Han Xingchen seems to be rarely praised, so Su Xizhu's praise made his little face red, Su Xizhu pulled Han Xingchen to chat while walking, and soon the nurse who took care of Han Xingchen came, and Han Xingchen could only reluctantly say goodbye to Su Xizhu.
Su Xizhu returned to the guest room and waited for the eldest aunt to leave with them, sure enough, it didn't take long for the eldest aunt to leave with them, Su Xizhu looked back at Su Ximei's yard, she didn't say a word to Su Ximei alone this time.
Su Ximei lay on the bed after Zhang and the others left, not knowing what she was thinking, but suddenly began to cough violently.
"Young lady? Quick, call the house doctor. Seeing that Su Ximei was coughing, Lian Xiang couldn't breathe and called the house doctor in a hurry, and the house doctor only symbolically prescribed some tonic medicine after Su Ximei came to diagnose her, telling her to worry less.
In the evening, Han Zhan heard that his mother-in-law brought Su Xizhu sisters to see Su Ximei, and then Su Ximei asked the government doctor not long after, Han Zhan thought that it was someone from the Hou Mansion of Annan who urged Su Ximei, and Su Ximei was in a hurry to aggravate her condition.
Of course, Han Zhan also heard that Su Xizhu had something to play with Han Xingchen today, it seems that Su Xizhu really likes Han Xingchen, Han Zhan thought about the last time he saw the two of them, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, maybe when Sister Zhu marries, he can raise Xingchen for her.
"Sister Mei, I heard that you called the house doctor again today?" Han Zhan looked at Su Ximei's pale face and couldn't say anything in his heart, since he knew that Su Ximei had made those means behind him, Han Zhan's pity for Su Ximei was much lighter.
"It's nothing, and the doctor said it's not a big deal." Su Ximei didn't want to say more, could it be that Han Zhan knew that she was sick because she was worried that Su Xizhu would take her place in the future?
"Sister Mei, I agree to your request, I will marry the third sister as a step-room in the future, and I will go and say to my mother, you can recuperate with peace of mind."
If Su Ximei was relieved after hearing Han Zhan say this before, but today when she saw Su Xizhu and heard Han Zhan say this, a suspicion came to her heart.
"Husband, did you see Sister Zhu today?"
"No, I just came back? What's wrong? Han Zhan looked at Su Ximei puzzled, could it be that he agreed that Su Ximei was still unwilling? What happened to the Hou Mansion of Annan?
"It's nothing, the husband is really happy to be able to agree to the concubine." Han Zhan felt that Su Ximei's tone was strange, but before he could think about it, he was shocked by Su Ximei's next words.
"Husband, will you promise me?"
"Impossible, Sister Mei, how can you have such a request?"
Han Zhan looked at Su Ximei with a cold face, Su Ximei couldn't say it, she was still thinking about whether to talk to Han Zhan about it, but today she made up her mind.
"Husband, the concubine begs you, and it's not been long, can you treat it as our mother and son?" Su Ximei grabbed Han Zhan's hand and prayed.
"Sister Mei, you're tired, rest." Han Zhan tore off Su Ximei's hand and turned to leave, behind him was Su Ximei's repeated coughing.
Han Zhan has not seen Su Ximei since the last time Han Zhan and Su Ximei broke up, firstly, she didn't want to give Su Ximei the illusion that he would agree with her idea, and secondly, because Han Zhan has been really busy recently.
After the matter of Concubine Yu and King Jin was known to Emperor Sheng He, although Emperor Sheng He belittled King Jin and set up the queen, it did not hurt the queen's family, after all, as long as the queen's maiden family still stands, King Jin will always have a chance.
Concubine Yu died of illness not long after that incident, and a concubine passed away, and everyone was a little suspicious of the emperor not sealing it, but finding a reason to bury it with a seven-grade talent, but the Xu family didn't say anything, let alone others.
The queen is now bent on recovering her position in Emperor Shenghe's heart for King Jin, so she didn't take action to deal with An Guifei and the initiator Shuguifei, but it didn't affect her to let her mother make trouble for the An family and the Han family, and the An family and Han Zhan tacitly dealt with the Zhou family at the same time this time.
I heard that the Zhou family did not ask Queen Zhou's brother to be a prince in order to make Queen Zhou become the queen smoothly, and the throne of the opposite sex of the Zhou family came to an end in the generation of Queen Zhou's father.
But Emperor Sheng He let the Zhou family take charge of the Ministry of Officials in order to compensate Empress Zhou, and now it is Empress Zhou's elder brother Zhou Shang who has succeeded his father as the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and the Zhou family has been deeply rooted in these years.
Han Zhan once admired the old lady of the Zhou family very much, and it was not possible for anyone to make up his mind to give up the hereditary throne, but at that time, the Zhou family seemed to be a strong man with a broken wrist, but he was not born after death.
After all, the first emperor intended to clean up the king of the opposite sex at that time, and the first to bear the brunt at that time was the Zhou family, and the Zhou family would only do so if they understood it, and the grandfather of Han Zhan now has more of a good reputation, and there are not many people with real power.
Moreover, the current head of the Zhou family, that is, Zhou Shang, has been happy with literature and not martial arts since he was a child, and he has not been able to control the strength of the army, but has become fashionable in the ministry.
The Zhou family handed over the position of the emperor to the emperor and let the concubine of the Zhou family be the queen, which seems to be uneconomical, but many of the old lady Zhou's subordinates are in the army, and the relationship will not be estranged for a short time.
As long as King Jin can succeed to the throne smoothly, it is worth it for the Zhou family to do this, otherwise Emperor Sheng He may be worried that his relatives are too strong, maybe the Zhou family has decided the route to take since the emperor who was still the prince at the time favored Concubine An to support the An family.
The Zhou family has successfully helped the King of Jin and the Queen stabilize their hands and feet over the years under the control of the old king of the opposite sex, so even if the King of Jin is not talented, he is still the most popular candidate for the crown prince, and now the King of Jin himself has been caught, so where will the Han family and the An family let go?
Han Zhan used all his thoughts outside to reduce his attention to the house, so when he received the news that Su Ximei was going to die, he was still a little stunned for a while, although he had long known that Su Ximei would not last long, but Han Zhan was still a little sad when this day came.
Although he and Su Ximei did not have Qin Se and Ming, Su Ximei was his wife after all, and she still had a certain status in Han Zhan's heart, so in the face of Su Ximei's pleading, who was dying, Han Zhan finally nodded and agreed, Su Ximei looked out the window again, and Han Zhan knew that she was looking at Han Haochen.
"Don't worry, Brother Hao is my eldest son, I will take good care of him, as for what you say, I will do it, Sister Mei, this is the last thing I will do for you."
After getting Han Zhan's assurance, Su Ximei closed her eyes with peace of mind, she knew that her request had consumed the last trace of Han Zhan's friendship for her, but Su Ximei did not regret it.
