In the Xu Garden, in the Snow Lady's room, laughter came out from time to time.

A family of three sat around the table, this meal was eaten for a long time, Jiang Chengze's cup of tea continued cup after cup, his eyes skimmed to Yumo from time to time, as if he had made a lot of determination, put down the teacup in his hand, sighed, stared at Mrs. Xue on his side, and slowly spoke after a while: "Mo'er, Daddy has something to discuss with you!" ”

After finishing speaking, he still stared at Mrs. Xue, and a trace of shame flashed in his eyes.

"Daddy has something to say, Mo'er listen!" Yumo didn't notice anything wrong, still smiling, and broke a few petals of the orange peeled above his hand and put them in the hands of Jiang Chengze and Mrs. Xue.

Jiang Chengze put the orange petal in his hand on the table, and after a little hesitation, a low and hoarse voice came again: "Mo'er is willing to marry the prince as a good di?" ”

As soon as he said this, Yumo's heart sank suddenly, he lowered his head and tugged at the corners of his sleeves tightly, Mu Mu shook his head, and the smile in his eyes quickly disappeared.

She couldn't understand what he meant, she had been divorced by the crown prince three years earlier, when he was so angry that he blamed her for everything, and even imprisoned her in the palace for three years.

Now I know that she cares about King Qin, but she came to ask her what about the prince Liangdi? The more she thought about it, the more confused she felt, and the few oranges she was holding in her hand were all squeezed by her, and her face turned pale: "Why did Daddy say this?" Mo'er is unknown. ”

The smile on Mrs. Xue's face gradually faded, her eyes were full of suspicion, and a bad premonition rose from her heart. His thoughts are deep, and a little woman like her can guess it, but this matter is related to Mo'er's life, how can she do nothing?

Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Jiang Chengze knew seven or eight things in his heart, but this matter was not trivial, and he must not be soft-hearted for a while because they were displeased.

At present, although he is the head of a hundred officials, and his position in the court is unshakable, but once the crown prince ascends the throne as emperor in the future, what his official career will be and what the future of the Jiang family will be, but the emperor will have the final say.

Jiang Chengze thought twice in his heart, and slowly raised his head and frowned: "Mo'er, the prince intends to marry you and Yuxi into the East Palace." Because of your identity, you can only succumb to the rain and be named Liangdi. But the prince and his father promised that after entering the palace, all the expenses of your sisters will be determined by the concubine position, and you will not be wronged. In the future, when the crown prince ascends the throne, he will also guarantee that Mo'er will be the concubine, so that it will really glorify the lintel of my Jiang family......"

They sat at the same table, but she felt as if she was thousands of miles away from the person in front of her, and his voice was getting farther and farther away, vague and inaudible, until Madame Xue urgently shouted: "Mo'er? Mo'er, what's wrong with you? ”

Her eyes froze, and she slowly came to her senses.

Jiang Chengze looked at her expectantly, and then looked at Mrs. Xue beside him, but she had a sad face, her thin lips trembled slightly, her eyes were slightly red, and she held her shoulders tightly.

His words sounded far away, but the words went straight to her heart and lungs like sharp arrows, so that she could not ignore them, let alone ignore them.

Therefore, she didn't understand until this moment that whether it was her mother's happiness or hers, it was under her father's control. All she had done before had been in vain.

Jiang Chengze saw that she came back to her senses, and continued to ask: "What does Mo'er think about this matter?" ”

Hehe, ridiculous! It's ridiculous! He had accepted the prince's promise, but now he remembered to ask her opinion, what did it matter what she thought? It's just a word from him, and she wants to marry into the East Palace obediently, knowing that she doesn't want to do a thousand things in her heart, but she still has to ask her how she is? She thought that she would rather die in the Prime Minister's Mansion than marry the prince, but could she say this? If she said it, what about your old man, Daddy?

Yumo raised his eyebrows, his eyes were full of disappointment, he clenched his palms, and looked at him lightly: "What does Daddy want to hear from Mo'er?" said that the father is really capable, and he can let the daughter of the concubine who was divorced marry into the East Palace and glorify the court? Or is it that Daddy should be really ruthless, knowing who Mo'er cares about, but still turning a blind eye to it, ignoring Mo'er's intentions, and only caring about his own future? Or maybe my father was far-sighted, and knew that the most reassuring thing in Mo'er's heart was his mother, so that Mo'er was willing to marry the prince, he did not hesitate to offend his wife, and moved back to Xuyuan to make my mother happy......"

The more she spoke, the colder her face became, the palms of her curled hands were already soaked with cold sweat, and there was a chill and faint anger in her tone.

"Mo'er, don't say it!" Madame Snow had never seen her look so indifferent, and her heart ached slightly, and tears in her eyes interrupted her.

Jiang Chengze, who was on the side, was already pale, gritted his teeth, got up and clenched his fists and hit the table hard, the leftovers of cold tea on the table were scattered in an instant, and the plates and cups were shattered.

"Evil obstacles! What a hindrance! Thanks to the prince's refusal to give up, and now he looks at you differently, and is willing to marry you into the East Palace on your sister's wedding day with the gift of the crown princess, what a great honor it is! If you don't know how to be grateful, how can you still say such rebellious words? Thinking about the grounding in the past few years, you haven't learned anything in "Women's Training". Today, I will teach you how to behave as a woman! As he spoke, his face turned red, the green tendons on his forehead protruded, and his right hand was raised, seeing that a palm was about to fall on Yumo's face, but Mrs. Xue rushed forward to block it.

"Xiangye is angry! Mo'er is still young, and it is common sense that she can't understand many things, and she asks Xiangye to give her more time, and she will slowly figure it out. Mrs. Xue was dedicated to protecting her daughter, for fear that Jiang Chengze would hurt her in anger, and her legs were weak, and she knelt beside him, tugging at his sleeves and begging.

Yumo He had ever seen his mother begging others on her knees like this, even how arrogant Mrs. Ping of Furong Garden was back then, bullying their mother and daughter, she couldn't make her mother too soft. But now she is willing to grovel and beg her husband, just to help her block that palm.

She looked indifferently at the man in the shirt in front of her, he was the man who loved her the most in the world, no matter how rude and willful she was in the past, he never scolded half a sentence, just smiled.

Today, everything is in ashes.

Although the palm did not fall on her face in the end, the wound in her heart was difficult to heal.

She couldn't imagine what he would have done to her if it weren't for her mother's begging. Imprisoned in a firewood room? Waiting for the fifth day of the ninth month to arrive, stuff her into the prince's sedan chair?

She lowered her head and let the tears drip on the pink embroidered shoes, and the lilac flowers on the upper of the shoes were soaked into deep purple by the tears, revealing a deep sadness.

"Look at her! If nothing else, the decree of marriage will arrive tomorrow. Remember to dress her up well, don't lose the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion! Jiang Chengze brushed away Mrs. Xue's hand and walked out of the room, leaving only this cold explanation.
