Chapter 352 Marriage
After all, it was a dilapidated house, and there was nothing to clean up, so after simply tidying up, the two of them moved into a new house.
Xiao He couldn't stay outside for too long, and immediately returned to the palace.
"Dowry ......" Xiao He sat at the table, hesitated, bought a house for the two of them, and there was not much money left in his house, if he took out the silver in the casino at this time, it would inevitably arouse the suspicion of others.
Mu Churan walked in in a hurry, and when he saw Xiao He in a daze, he went up and yelled at her: "Xiao He, I don't know when you have such courage!" I actually made a family affair in private! β
Xiao He was stunned for an instant, how could he know? Obviously, he does everything in private, is it possible that even if he is out of the palace for such a short time, he will find someone to follow him?
"Your Majesty, did you send someone to follow me?"
"Do you still need me to follow you? You go and look at the streets and alleys, who doesn't know? Mu Churan angrily punched the table in front of Xiao He, "Xiao He! Haven't I been good enough for you? Are you in such a hurry to get married? β
"Your Majesty, the minister has reached the age when he should marry, why can't he find a family for himself?" Compared with Mu Churan's irritability, Xiao He in front of him seemed extremely calm, and even looked a little indifferent.
Mu Churan stepped forward and hugged Xiao He in his arms, "Xiao He, you tell me that this is all a lie, you won't marry, will you?" β
"No," Xiao He calmly pushed away the person in front of him, "The minister's wedding date has not yet been set, and when the engagement date is due, he will naturally send an invitation to the emperor, and I hope that the emperor can appreciate his face when the time comes......"
"Say no more!" Mu Churan pushed Xiao He away fiercely, "I thought you would understand, you are all over the world, how can you not even understand what I mean?" Are you playing dumb? β
"Your Majesty, Yin's people are simple, but they are not to the point where they can accept men falling in love with each other, the emperor is the king of a country, and I still hope that you can focus on the overall situation."
"Are you just afraid of those gossip?"
Xiao He had already turned his back and no longer looked at the somewhat painful eyes of the person in front of him.
I'm not afraid of other people's gossip, even if I'm really a man, if I don't have a grudge against you, I will definitely take this step towards you without hesitation, I'm not afraid of rumors, but you......
Xiao He left Mu Churan's study without looking back, and returned to his own house, although he was promoted, Xiao He still insisted on not moving to a bigger house.
The vicissitudes of the courtyard are completely different from the scene outside, it's time to get married, and it's time to clean up the yard.
Xiao He squatted down and pulled the weeds in front of him, Xiao He didn't know why he said such a thing, maybe it was because Mu Churan was too excited today, or maybe he had set up a family affair and felt that he could really cut off the connection between himself and Mu Churan, perhaps, this was the bargaining chip for him to dare to say this today.
Obviously, he had figured it out in his heart, but his eyes couldn't help but be sour, and tears crossed Xiao He's face and fell on the grass in front of him drop by drop.
Xiao He seemed to vent his anger, and kept pulling up the grass in front of him and throwing it aside.
A pair of feet suddenly appeared in front of him, Xiao He looked up, and saw Duan Heng, the king of An, who he hadn't seen for a long time.
"The prime minister of the dynasty actually squatted in the yard to pull weeds?" Duan Heng's words are still so easy, if he can, he really wants to live like him, relaxed. Xiao He wiped the tears on his face with his hand, and the mud on his hand left several mud marks on his face.
Duan Heng looked at her crying and felt a little distressed, "What's wrong?" Duan Heng no longer has a shadow guard in his hands, and it is completely impossible to know what is going on in the palace, but he knows that there are rumors in the market that Xiao He, the prime minister of the dynasty, wants to marry the daughter of an ordinary family.
Xiao He buried his head in his knees and did not answer Duan Heng's question.
"Oh, I know, it must be rumors in the market that you are going to get married, so you thought that you couldn't marry, so you cried urgently?" Duan Heng originally wanted to make a joke with her to make her happy, but the person in front of him suddenly stopped crying, wiped the tears off his face, and looked up at him, "It's not a rumor, I am indeed engaged and ready to marry a girl from the Bai family......"
This time, even Duan Heng was taken aback.
How can a woman marry?
"What are you thinking? Aren't you afraid that your identity will be revealed? Duan Heng dragged Xiao He into the back room, pressed him on a chair and asked her.
"I'm crazy, I'm really crazy...... "crazy enough to fall in love with the enemy who killed his parents......
β¦β¦
The wedding date was soon set, and Xiao He, out of helplessness, still embezzled a part of the silver taels from the casino, reorganized the yard, and gave a dowry to the Bai family.
I sent out all the invitations early, but Mu Churan's copy was still tightly held in his hands, and he couldn't send it, if he sent someone else to send it, I was afraid that Mu Churan would send the fire on others, according to the current situation, only Duan Heng was the most suitable to send the invitation.
"Can you help me with this?" Xiao He took the invitation card and asked the person in front of him.
Duan Heng brushed the broken hair from his sideburns with his hand, "You really gave me a good errand." "Since Su Xin's incident, Xiao He has never taken the initiative to talk to him, and now he called himself over for this matter.
"He's not going to be angry with you." Xiao He knew in his heart that the king of a country would not do anything out of the ordinary for himself, not to mention, he was facing King An.
Seeing Duan Heng go out, Xiao He no longer had the strength, closed his eyes, and regarded it as a ridiculous dream, after waking up from the dream, Mu Churan was still his enemy.
Ten miles of red makeup, it's ridiculous, Xiao He is wearing a bright red wedding dress, marrying a woman, Xiao He himself wants to laugh, Tie Xin is quietly observing in the dark, even if his martial arts are lost, Tie Xin still has a special ability to protect Xiao He.
Bai Mei walked into the main hall wearing a bright red wedding dress, through the half-hidden hijab, Xiao He could clearly see the smile on Bai Mei's face, as long as he worshipped, Mu Churan had no reason to keep herself by his side, as long as the line was drawn, after a long time, she would definitely be able to forget Mu Churan.
"Worship heaven and earth."
Xiao He took the red silk in the matchmaker's hand and bent down deeply towards the door.
As long as you take this step, you will definitely be able to be ruthless......
"Two worship the high hall."
Xiao He and Bai Mei turned around and bowed deeply to Bai Mei's mother.
In any case, Mu Churan is his enemy, and cutting through the chaos quickly is undoubtedly the best ending.
"Husband and wife ......" Before the matchmaker's words were finished, she was interrupted by a dart flying from outside the door, and the direction of the dart was towards Bai Mei, if Xiao He didn't catch it, I am afraid that Bai Mei's eyes would be wasted.
Xiao He quickly grabbed the flying dart, and blood flowed out of her fingers in an instant.
"Ahh
"Xiao He!" Duan Heng took a step forward, looked at her bloodstained hand, and took out the dart, there was not much flesh on her hand, and the person who threw out the dart was so powerful that just catching it, the wound was already deep and bone-intelligible.
"The emperor has arrivedβ" The shrill voice was accompanied by a sharp drag, and the ministers who were originally sitting in the hall knelt down one after another, "See the emperor." β
Xiao He was no exception, ignoring his blood-stained hands, as usual, he lifted his robe and knelt down.
"Bold Xiao He! You are guilty! Mu Churan had an indifferent expression on his face, and asked Xiao He coldly.
Duan Heng subconsciously looked at the dart just now, the pure steel one was Mu Churan's usual hidden weapon. It was he who sent the darts!
"I don't know." Xiao He knelt on the ground, the blood on his hand was still flowing, and it fell on the brick floor along the outline of his hand, and the bright red blood dripped on the ground, which made Mu Churan feel a little distressed, this stupid person, why should he pick it up with his hands, just wave it away, and he won't be so seriously injured.
Mu Churan raised his head and didn't look at Xiao He, and continued ruthlessly, "This is the account book handed over to me by your housekeeper, and it is recorded that your Xiao Mansion's family property is only one thousand taels in total, how did you spend a thousand taels of silver to buy a house for the Bai family's mother and daughter, and then spend so much money to hold a wedding banquet?" β
Since ancient times, kings have been suspicious, and the corrupt officials under Mu Churan embezzle hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year, not to mention hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, why did they suddenly investigate their own family property of one thousand taels today, "The minister has some ancestral property in his hands, which was left by my father to marry us, and today the minister used this silver to buy this family business." β
"Your father's ancestral property," Mu Churan threw the account book in his hand fiercely, the force was not well controlled, and it smashed directly on Xiao He's body, and he didn't hide! It's this trick again, do you think I'll be soft-hearted in this way!
"Why is it not recorded in the ledger, why are you so slow to tell where your father came from? Just because you are your father's ancestral property, do you think I will believe it? β
"The emperor is the Son of Heaven, the emperor's thoughts must be right, if the emperor insists that the money is the proceeds of Xiao's corruption, the lower officials have nothing to say."
"You ......" Mu Churan was extremely angry with him, and couldn't think of anything to refute her for a while.
"Someone! Bring the Prime Minister back and wait for the fate! β
"Your Majesty!" Duan Heng hurriedly stood up and wanted to ask for mercy, "The matter hasn't been clarified yet, so you can't lock up Lord Xiao." Although he knew that Mu Churan's purpose was not to cure Xiao He's sin.
"I do things, when will it be His Royal Highness An's turn to judge right and wrong!"
Several guards stepped forward and took Xiao He out, Xiao He's blood was left on the ground, oozing a blood-colored handprint, looking so sad.
