Chapter 133: Yao Junnan's daughter-in-law died
On the official road leading to the southeast, a rush of luxury horses rolled up puffs of dust behind the body, and Blue, who was riding a horse behind the carriage, followed with a lost expression.
Su Muling was lying on Xiao Wenxuan's lap at the moment, listening to him say that King Ping wanted to use him to coerce the emperor to break his arm and give way.
"Ling'er, there is something I ...... I can't help but tell you...... Speaking of which...... I...... Have a bone in one's throat...... Ay! ”
The fact that Xiao Wenxuan was an illegitimate child made King Ping publicize it in public, and I am afraid that everyone in the capital will know about it at this time.
"What's the matter?" So hard to say?
Su Muling stuffed a preserved fruit into his mouth and stared at him curiously.
Xiao Wenxuan stared down at her for a moment, and finally made up his mind to speak: "Ling'er, if my identity is very ...... It's unbearable, will you dislike me, look down on me, or even be unwilling to be my princess again? Xiao Wenxuan's words were unusually unconfident.
Su Muling felt his pain and suffering. She sat up, took one of his hands and put it on her two small hands and stroked it gently, her eyes becoming serious.
"Youan, what's going on? Why do you say that? ”
Xiao Wenxuan smiled bitterly, and the originally charming peach blossom eyes were also eclipsed, which made people feel distressed.
"Ling'er, I'm not the second son of King Ping. I...... I am the mother and the emperor......"
Xiao Wenxuan couldn't go on, seeing Su Muling's shocked eyes, he broke free from Su Muling's hand and turned to face the wall.
For a long time, Su Muling did not move, Xiao Wenxuan closed his eyes, and continued in a hoarse voice:
"If you regret it...... I can ask the emperor to take back the decree and return your freedom. ”
Su Muling was shocked, and she couldn't guess what he was going to say later without Xiao Wenxuan going on. She didn't say anything for a long time thinking about how to comfort him, but unexpectedly, he misunderstood that she disliked his origin.
Su Muling straightened up and twisted Xiao Wenxuan around strongly, holding his lowered head in his arms, and his voice was extremely gentle:
"I love you as a person, regardless of your origin. It doesn't matter if you are a beggar who knows nothing, or the second son of King Ping, or something else, you have to remember: I will always be your wife. My identity was not sealed by the emperor, but given by myself. Don't forget, you are the son-in-law that I am marrying. "Although I wrote a letter of resignation, who saw it?
Xiao Wenxuan listened to her, blushing for himself and ashamed of his narrow-mindedness. He was still buried in her chest and didn't look up, just hugged her tightly.
Telling the long-buried secret in his heart, the stone in Xiao Wenxuan's heart was finally unloaded, and he was no longer worried about it along the way.
He told her about King Ping's desire to use him to coerce the emperor, and Su Muling completely understood why King Ping designed to hunt down Xiao Wenxuan, and locked him up and fed him poison.
It turned out that all this was a scandal of the royal family, and it was basically King Ping venting his anger on the green hat he had worn for more than 20 years.
Su Muling not only did not dislike Xiao Wenxuan's background, but also pitied him even more, no one could choose his own background, Xiao Wenxuan was just a victim
……
Because Su Muling was worried about Su Haoran, Xiao Wenxuan barely stopped on the road, and in less than a month, the car entered Songjiang Mansion.
When his daughter and son-in-law appeared, Su Haoran was so happy that he almost passed this day, not only ordered the kitchen to make a table of his daughter's favorite dishes, but also asked the housekeeper Cao Gui to go to the street to collect fireworks.
Su Muling didn't go home during the New Year, and he wanted to make up for it. But I don't want to think about the fact that it is not a festival now, where will there be fireworks and firecrackers?
Cao Gui was busy on the street with a bitter face, looking around where there was left over for the New Year, running a few streets, asking countless vendors, and really bought some for him.
So that night, the sound of fireworks came from the sky above the Su family, which has always been low-key. The neighbors came out to check one after another, and were surprised to find that it was put by the Su family, who has always disliked the excitement.
On the second day, the Su family came to their grandfather Liu's house with a cart of gifts.
The Liu family, who hadn't seen Su Muling for a long time, naturally pulled Su Muling and asked this and that. They were embarrassed by Su Muling's thrilling experience, and they were glad that she had come back safely without danger.
Maternal ancestor Liu Jinyu was even more worried about Su Muling's marriage.
He stroked his snow-white beard and asked Xiao Wenxuan, who insisted on sitting down, with a smile:
"It stands to reason that the prince's family affairs should not be asked by the old man, but the old man is such a granddaughter, her mother died early, and Ling'er has also reached the peach and plum years this year. Although the emperor has given Ling'er the title of Princess of Ningjun, in the end, we should let us buy it for her and marry her off in style. The prince said yes? ”
Xiao Wenxuan didn't know the old man's thoughts, so he got up and hugged his fists: "My grandfather's thoughts and thoughts are all understood." Ling'er and I share weal and woe, and our hearts can no longer be separated, and I will meet the saint as soon as possible when I return to Beijing this time, and ask the emperor to allow me to handle the marriage. ”
Liu Jinyu happily stepped forward to help him up: "That's good, that's good." Then let's start preparing the dowry now to add makeup to Ling'er, haha! ”
"Grandfather ......" Su Muling, who was blushing when she heard this, turned her head in shame and hid in her eldest aunt's arms.
"Haha, what are you ashamed of, it's not the first time you've married."
The eldest aunt was quick to talk and made everyone laugh.
A couple married twice, which is a rare thing throughout the ages.
"By the way, our Ling'er is now a princess, but it's not as good as the previous time, this time we have to take out our family funds to buy makeup......" The second aunt was holding a male doll that was only 100 days old in her arms, and suddenly said.
"Isn't it, brother-in-law, Ling'er is married, do you want to have a thousand miles of red makeup......"
There are more noble relatives in the commoners' families, and the uncle who usually doesn't smile can't suppress the joy in his heart, and makes a rare joke.
Su Muling's marriage has always been a knot in Su Haoran's heart, and now that he heard Xiao Wenxuan personally say that he was going to prepare for the marriage, he was so happy that there were a few more wrinkles on his face.
"That's nature, Ling'er is the meat of my heart, and I am willing to give her the entire Su family."
"Daddy......"
Su Muling saw that Su Haoran had no scruples when he spoke, and was afraid that Ru Yan would have any ideas, so he hurriedly stopped it with his eyes.
Who knew that Ru Yan smiled nonchalantly and said, "Miss, you don't have to mind my thoughts. You and the master treat me like relatives, if it wasn't for the eldest lady who saved me, I don't know where to suffer. Ru Yan has been treated well by the master and the eldest lady, and I don't dare to expect too much, as long as I can be by the master's side and grow up safely with the two children, I have nothing else to ask for. The eldest lady is the eldest lady's daughter-in-law, and it is not an exaggeration for the lord to marry the eldest lady of the Su family, Ru Yan is not a little displeased. ”
Ru Yan's words made Su Haoran very pleased, and his eyes were full of love when he looked at Ru Yan.
Liu Jinyu and the old lady Zhu were also full of joy when they heard this. I only heard that Su Haoran raised an aunt before, who looked like her daughter Liu. But because Ru Yan is a concubine, she has no chance to follow Su Haoran out to visit relatives, so she has not been seen.
Today, Ru Yan was dragged by Su Mu Lingqiang to follow. When Liu Jinyu and Zhu saw this, they were shocked: there are two people who are so similar in this world, and no one will doubt that they are twins.
But Ru Yan and Liu's portraits are not the same person, and I don't know what Ru Yan's character and conduct are. Liu Jinyu and Zhu only forced down the small waves in their hearts.
Now Ru Yan's words made Zhu's eyes moist, and he remembered his daughter who didn't like to fight. She stretched out her hand to beckon Ru Yan, who was sitting in the corner, to her side, and pulled her to sit down in front of her, with a lot of love in her eyes.
"It's really commendable that Aunt Ru can think like this. Don't worry, Ling'er is a good-hearted person, and she will not treat your children badly in the future. ”
Turning his head to Su Haoran again, he said, "Haoran, I'm old, and I'm nostalgic." In the future, you will often bring Aunt Ru and the child to sit down. ”
Su Haoran knew that the old lady was looking at Ru Yan and missing the Liu family, so he hurriedly agreed.
"Yes."
"By the way, what kind of prince is still in your house now?" Second Uncle Liu Zongyi suddenly asked curiously.
Su Haoran smiled bitterly: "Yes, he wanted to come with him at the beginning, but now he can't go back, fortunately, the Su family is not bad for him, so he should be raised as an extra son." ”
"Brother-in-law, I didn't expect you to be honest, but there are a lot of royal relatives and nobles in the family, you are in our Songjiang Mansion, I'm afraid you can go sideways...... Ha ha! Liu Zongyi teased him.
"Brother-in-law, are you really not going to Donggu Island anymore?" Uncle Liu Zongren felt that it was a pity that he had given up a mountain of gold.
Su Haoran looked at Su Muling, who was bowing his head and whispering to Xiao Wenxuan, and then looked at the brother who was playing in the arms of his second aunt, and the young lady who was asleep in Ru Yan's arms, and his voice was a little softer when he spoke again.
"When I went to sea, I wanted Ling'er and her mother to live a good life, but now Ling'er is also older, and she has You'an as her backer. Ruyan has these two children again, and I don't want to risk earning that dispensable thing. If you earn gold and silver, you have to have a life, right? ”
This time the distress at sea strengthened Su Haoran's determination not to go to sea again.
Liu Baimao, who had been sitting in the distance, didn't interject several times when he wanted to interject, and he simply flashed aside in frustration and sulked himself.
Dong Luzhu, who was more than five months pregnant, saw it, pulled him aside with a smile, and whispered secretly, Liu Baimao's face suddenly showed joy, and there was no haze on his face.
After lunch, the Su family said goodbye. Uncle Liu's second uncle took the juniors to send them to the door.
Dong Luzhu secretly sent a private invitation to Su Muling, asking her to bring Xiao Wenxuan to a small gathering in Juxian Tower at night.
Su Muling readily agreed.
……
Private room on the second floor of Juxian Building.
Su Muling and Xiao Wenxuan, Liu Baimao and Dong Luzhu were very happy to see each other again.
Su Muling caressed Dong Luzhu's stomach and looked at her: "Is it a boy or a girl?" ”
Dong Luzhu stroked his stomach with his hand and smiled happily: "It's a boy." ”
Seeing Su Muling's envy, she pasted Su Muling's ear: "You will have it too." After speaking, he covered his mouth and snickered.
Su Muling's cheeks flushed. She'll have it, but she'll have to have a round house first.
On the other side, Liu Baimao, who had been talking with Xiao Wenxuan, suddenly said a terrifying news: "Have you heard? Yao Junnan's daughter-in-law was killed some time ago. ”
Who? Lu Qiaohui?
He's dead?
