Chapter 283: Reply
Listening to Princess Xian's words, Princess Xian's heart chuckled, and she hurriedly shook her head.
"Mother, don't misunderstand what I mean, in my heart, Sister Chu is naturally a very rare good child." The princess of King Xian hurriedly explained. "Besides, as an aunt, I also watched her grow up when I was a child, and I know that she is good in appearance and personality. It's just that she and Brother Yu are two years apart, and she hasn't heard her mother talk about such a plan in the past, so her daughter-in-law is indeed a little surprised. β
Princess Xian moved her body, and Princess Xian subconsciously sat back.
"What you said is also true, Sister Chu and Brother Yu are two years apart. Brother Yu has been sent to study abroad by you in the past few years, Sister Chu is innocent and cute, I can't think of the two of them on weekdays. Princess Xian smiled and said. I know what you mean, although Sister Chu has been raised in front of Duansu since she was a child, she is not Duansu's biological daughter in the end. And Sister Chu was indeed raised by Duan Sujiao to be a little naΓ―ve, but Brother Yu is not your eldest son, if he really marries a girl with a temperament like Sister Chu, the house is not easy to mess up. β
"It's the daughter-in-law who thinks narrowly." As a mother, the princess of King Xian must have to go through a lot of consideration when dealing with her own son's marriage.
As an elder in the family, she watched Sister Chu grow up and knew that Sister Chu was delicate and likable. But the love for Sister Chu in her heart does not mean that she hopes that Sister Chu will marry Brother Yu.
"I won't say much, but the benefits of marrying Sister Chu, you can also think about it yourself when you go back today." Princess Xian glanced at her and said. "No matter what, Duan Su is regarded as Sister Chu'er's biological daughter, Brother Lan, as Sister Chu's own brother, you all know what he has to do now. Princess Zhaoyue and Sister Chu also get along very well, you should have heard Duansu's words today. Now the families who are thinking about Sister Chu are not one or two, but our Xianwang Mansion is taking the lead. If you figure it out, choose one day for our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to go to the Zhenguo Mansion to explore Duansu's style. β
After hearing this, the princess of King Xian reacted.
Yes, with the current situation of the Duan family's father and son, Sister Chu's marriage choice has gone up a few steps.
Besides, a while ago, the prince of Zhenguo Mansion made a fuss in the house, and the prince of Zhenguo was useless, and even this time even the power of the prince of Zhenguo was taken away.
Many people speculate that there must be a room for the son of the prince of Zhenguo, Duan Chengwen and Duan Shaolan, father and son, the father has a smooth career, not to mention that the son has become a concubine, and he has also inherited the connections and resources of the prince of Zhenguo, and the lord of Duansu County also gave birth to a son-in-law, maybe one day, when the position of the prince of Zhenguo is unstable, the second room will naturally take the position.
"The daughter-in-law understands her mother's hard work, so I will go back and discuss this matter with the son." The princess of King Xian suddenly came to her senses, but when she thought of Xiao Yayun's temper that she would rather bend, she couldn't help but turn around and say to Princess Xian. "But Brother Yu'er's stubborn mother knows, if he doesn't agree to this matter, I'm afraid that even me and Shizi won't be able to be his master."
"It's okay, you can go and discuss this matter with the prince with confidence." Princess Xian remembered Xiao Yuyun's eyes looking at Sister Chu today, and said with confidence. "Your brother promises not to disagree."
"Mother means ......," Princess Xianwang said with a smile as her mind turned. Okay, Mother, then I'll go back. β
"Well, go ahead. You've had a busy day, so go back and rest early. β
After Xiao Xuan and Duan Shaolan returned to the princess's mansion, the two washed up separately, and when Xiao Xuan put Brother Min to sleep, she asked the nurse to carry Brother Min out.
"Today I met the third son of the son of King Xian." The nurse went out with the sleeping Brother Min in her arms, and Xiao Xuan walked behind Duan Shaolan and put her hands on his shoulders. "I felt born when I saw him, I heard your grandmother say that he was sent out of the imperial capital to study early?"
"You're talking about my uncle's cousin." Duan Shaolan and Duan Chengwen rushed to the Xianwang Mansion after he was on duty today, he was poured a lot of wine by several cousins of the Xianwang Mansion, and now the strength of the wine has not completely eased up, after listening to Xiao Xuan's question, he reacted for a long time before he came back to his senses and answered Xiao Xuan. "Among the cousins and cousins in King Xian's mansion, he studied the hardest and had the best talent, so after discussing with his uncle, his grandfather decided to send him to study in the best academy in Dazhao. The college is strictly managed, and only 10 days of family leave is allowed to the middle school students a year, so when he comes from studying abroad, Cousin Yu rarely comes back. However, Cousin Yu should participate in the scientific examination this year, and if he can win the first place in one fell swoop this time, Cousin Xu Yu will stay in the imperial capital for a long time. After all, Cousin Yu is not young, and his grandmother and eldest aunt are also looking at the marriage for him. β
"Oh, that's right." Xiao Xuan lowered his body and said. "When I saw him today, he was a good man of good character and conversation. But I look at him and seems to have some meaning for our sister Chu, isn't my mother looking at other people for Sister Chu now? Didn't my mother think about the Xianwang Mansion and the kiss? β
"Huh?" Hearing Xiao Xuan suddenly mention Sister Chu's marriage, Duan Shaolan's drunkenness suddenly dissipated a lot, he raised his hand and rubbed his eyes and said. "My eldest aunt has a very good background, and several cousins and cousins from my eldest aunt are very promising. Mother had thought that it would be best to marry an uncle or aunt with Sister Chu's temperament, although Cousin Yu was about the same age as Sister Chu, but her mother knew that her eldest aunt's vision was high, so she didn't have the intention of letting Sister Chu marry Cousin You. Why do you say that Cousin Yu likes Sister Chu? β
"Because I have such eyes that can see." Xiao Xuan hugged Duan Shaolan's neck and said with a smile. "Cousin Yu accompanied Sister Chu and Brother Bin and they came in, but her eyes never left Sister Chu's body for a while."
"Ahh At this moment, Duan Shaolan was completely sober, and he immediately turned his head to look at Xiao Xuan. "Really?!"
"What I say can be false?" Xiao Xuan let go of his hand, took two steps back and said. "What are you so surprised about, your eldest aunt's vision is high, and Sister Chu is not so bad. Now that the situation in the Zhenguo Mansion is there, everyone can see it, and my father and yours are getting better and better, and she still has a sister-in-law like me. β
"Sister Chu is my younger sister, so I naturally know that she is not bad." Duan Shaolan said helplessly. "......"
"I think this marriage is good, I'll find out Sister Chu's tone another day." Xiao Xuan turned around and walked to the bed, saying as he walked.
Xiao Xuan originally thought that he would take the time to go to the Zhenguo Mansion in a few days, but he didn't expect that on the evening of the second day, Duan Shaolan returned from duty and brought her a letter from the Jiangnan Jinqi Wei Dark Pavilion.
When Duan Shaolan returned to the house, Xiao Xuan was watching Lu Lin and someone to accompany Brother Min to play in front of her. Duan Shaolan waved the letter in his hand at Xiao Xuan and said the word Jiangnan to her.
"You guys take Brother Min down to play for a while." Xiao Xuan immediately remembered, and hurriedly said to Lu Lin and the nurse. "There's no one to serve in the house for the time being, so you all go down."
As soon as Xiao Xuan spoke, the kung fu people in the room dispersed after a while, leaving only Xiao Xuan and Duan Shaolan as husband and wife.
"Here you go." Duan Shaolan handed the letter in his hand to Xiao Xuan and said. "I just received the letter, look at it."
Xiao Xuan took the letter, and twisted the envelope with his fingers, and the contents were still a little thick. Xiao Xuan's heart immediately hung up, and he looked up at Duan Shaolan.
"Open it, no matter what happens, you have to face it." Duan Shaolan pointed outside and comforted her. "Besides, the one who always stays in our house is not the solution to the problem."
Xiao Xuan had to tear open the seal of the envelope and pull out the few pieces of paper that were folded inside.
She unfolded the letter and quickly skimmed through the contents at a glance. The former colleagues entrusted by Duan Shaolan are really worthy of being Jinqiwei, and the content on the paper not only clearly writes Yue Ying's identity and origin. They even found the town where the Yue family lives now and found out what the Yue family is doing now.
Yue Ying's identity is indeed not fake, she is indeed the daughter of a criminal minister, her mother died early due to illness, and her father died of illness shortly after being imprisoned for the previous Jiangnan official salt case, leaving only her and a pair of young brothers and sisters to rely on each other.
But Duan Shaolan's colleagues secretly visited Yue's house but found that Yue Ying's young brother and sister were also missing, and only a few old servants were left in the Yue family to guard the old house left by Yue Ying's mother before her death. They also heard from neighbors that in the days before and after Yue Ying left the house, some strange men with foreign accents appeared around Yue's house.
Xiao Xuan read the letter and subconsciously looked at Duan Shaolan.
"What's wrong?" Duan Shaolan has been receiving the letter since he received it, and he has not read the contents of the letter. "Is there really something wrong with the origin of that one?"
"It's probably eight or nine." Xiao Xuan sighed and stuffed the letter in his hand into Duan Shaolan's hand. "I'm worried about what, what should I do with her now?"
Duan Shaolan took the letter smoothly and simply skimmed through the contents of the letter.
"It seems that someone has kidnapped her brother and sister to blackmail her to get close to King Yi."
"Yes, the first time I saw her, with my understanding of the sixth brother, I know that the sixth brother likes that kind of woman." Xiao Xuan sighed.
