Dressed as the mistress of the Hou family, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

Chapter 2

The carriage of the Marquis Mansion came to a slow stop. Bai Ji and Su Zi got out of the carriage first and carefully helped them down.

In front of the door of the Shangshu Mansion, Xie Shuer was huddled in the arms of a maid, crying with tears in her eyes, complaining that her engagement with the youngest son of the Shangshu family was a waste of money.
"Thank you!"

There was an angry shout from behind, and Xie Shuer paused, turned around in disbelief, and saw her mother standing not far away, "Mother, mother?"

Bai and Su Zi had long separated their wives from the common people, leaving an open space for Fang Xu to stand, for fear that someone without eyesight might hurt their wives.

Fang Xu stood in an excellent position, which not only allowed Xie Shuer to see her expression more directly, but also allowed the people watching to see clearly, and also gave an explanation to the Shangshu Mansion.

Killing three birds with one stone, wonderful!Fang Xu gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.

Xie Shuer wanted to use public opinion to force the two families to break off the engagement, but Fang Xu refused to let her do so.

Seeing Fang Xu, Xie Shuer's attitude of wanting to show her sincerity to death became more restrained. Her eyebrows were lowered and her eyes were a little erratic. She didn't dare to look at Fang Xu's dark eyes, "Mother, why are you here?"

Fang Xu's face was hurt, his hand pressed on his chest, and his steps were a little sloppy, "Shu'er, your parents have raised you for many years, is this how you repay the Marquis? You are doing this, making your mother very sad."

Seeing the madam suddenly acting, the two maids behind her were shocked and speechless.

Even though she was on the carriage, Madam still acted like a normal person and ate all the refreshments placed in the carriage. Even the pastry residue was cleaned up before getting off the carriage.

Can a person's mood change so quickly?

When Xie Shuer heard Fang Xu's words, she felt guilty for a moment and retreated. At the same time, Pei Heng's handsome face appeared in her mind, which made her lose her last trace of reason. "Mom, it's useless to talk more. Anyway, I will definitely I want to be with Pei Lang!"

"Absurd!" Fang Xu shook his body, his face turned pale, and he pointed at Xie Shu'er, whose hand was shaking uncontrollably, "Evil girl! It's really unfortunate for our family!"

Xie Shuer cried miserably, as if Fang Xu had crashed to death in front of the door if she refused. "My daughter knows that she is unfilial, so she begs her mother to agree. When her daughter marries Pei Lang as his wife, she will definitely be filial to her with Pei Lang." you!"

With such a sincere look, Fang Xu couldn't help but want to give her a thumbs up. Her acting skills were so good that they were as good as Hollywood!

Fang Xu looked pitiful, raised his chin slightly, and looked helplessly at the sky, tears falling from the corners of his eyes, "Master Marquis, it is my fault to teach my daughter to be like this! How can I have the face to see you after a hundred years?" ah--"

Fang Xu was afraid that Xie Shuer's cry was not loud enough and the people nearby would not be able to hear her.

As long as Xie Shuer performs steadily, she will definitely be able to pick herself up.

Fang Xu's performance was sincere, as if she was a loving mother whose heart was broken by her daughter. Many onlookers around her were attracted to the show, and some even cried with Fang Xu.

"Mrs. Marquis Yongcheng is truly a loving mother. I am truly impressed that my daughter did such a disgraceful thing to the family without even a single curse."

Seeing the emotions of the people around him, Fang Xu let go of his hand that was secretly holding his thigh.

Fang Xu calmly glanced at the Shangshu Mansion, whose door was still closed, and was secretly speechless.

As expected of a veteran who has been involved in official circles, they can still pretend that nothing happened, as if they can't hear the noise outside.

"Shu'er, if you find a good marriage by yourself, why would your mother stop you?" Fang Xu seemed to be crying until he could no longer hold on to Su Zi's hand, breathing unsteadily, "But the Pei Heng you love has a humble family background. He is also a mediocre idiot, how can such a man be compared with the master of a scholar?"

As soon as these words came out, a fire broke out on the spot. The people were shocked by the criteria for choosing a mate for the legitimate daughter of the Hou family, and they started talking a lot.

"Mother, how could you insult Pei Lang like this!" Xie Shuer took a few steps back with a pale face, and fell to the side. Fortunately, she was supported by the maid, so that she did not fall to the ground.After standing still, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, his voice was a bit shrill, "Pei Lang is not a mediocre idiot, he is a scholar with great promise!"

Amidst the noise, the door behind Xie Shuer slowly opened a crack.

Cui Shangshu, dressed in regular clothes, walked out surrounded by servants and looked at Xie Shuer with leisurely time.

Fang Xu didn't miss the ridicule that slipped through his eyes, but she had no intention of making the decision for Xie Shuer.

"Mrs. Marquis Yongcheng is here in person and it is really rude not to greet her from afar." Cui Shangshu nodded slightly towards Fang Xu to show respect, "Since Marquis Yongcheng died for his country, I have been grieving hard. I am afraid of touching the scene and hurting my feelings, so I have never come to visit. I visited Madam, Madam, don’t be surprised.”

Fang Xu pretended to be weak and bowed lightly, "Your Excellency, the Minister, still remembers the great achievements of the Marquis. It is because it gives me enough face. To have a close friend like you, the Lord Marquis must be very happy in heaven." !”

Just pretend to be a wolf with a big tail, as if no one can do it.

Cui Shangshu was frightened by Fang Xu's sincere speech. He froze in place. After he reacted, he coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment and said, "Madam, you are so complimentary. It's just a farce today."

This obvious temptation was to ask her to give her an idea.

Right now, you must make this bad old man believe that you are on his side.

Fang Xu wiped his tears with his handkerchief, his eyes were red, "Sir, if you have anything to say, just say it. I really can't take care of this evil girl anymore!"

Upon hearing this, Cui Shangshu had some considerations in his heart, and his cloudy eyes were fixed on Xie Shu'er.

“Ms. Shaking his head, he lectured him like an elder in the family, "This is really not the case."

"Master Cui, my daughter came here rashly this time because of the engagement between the two houses."

"The engagement was made by your father and me before he was alive. The orders of your parents are written in black and white. Now that Marquis Yongcheng has died for his country, if I accept the promise and regret the engagement, wouldn't I be an unjust person? It will also make others think that I, Shangshufu, are easy to bully. Take care of it!" Cui Shangshu interrupted her, his turbid eyes flashed with a cold light, already unhappy.

If it weren't for the fact that Marquis Yongcheng had some meritorious deeds, he would have disapproved of this stupid young lady from the Marquis's house!

How could such a woman be worthy of her own youngest son?

Naturally, this relationship must be withdrawn, but it cannot be done by Shangshu Mansion!

"I"

"Shu'er!"

A male voice sounded from the crowd, like thunder on the ground, attracting everyone's attention. Xie Shuer's eyes also lit up. Her whole person became much more alive, and she still looked like she was looking for death and survival.

Fang Xu looked along the source of the sound and saw the appearance of the man. He was not tall and had an average build. He only had a face that could be seen. He was wearing linen clothes that had been washed until they turned white and had three or four patches on them. He frowned and frowned. Wrinkled, walking towards this side angrily.

"Pei Lang!" When Xie Shuer saw him, tears fell down her cheeks. She took two steps in the direction of Pei Heng, crying silently, as if everyone in the capital had failed her.

"She is just a weak woman, why do you force her like this?" Pei Heng walked quickly onto the bluestone platform and stood in front of Xie Shu'er, protecting her like an old hen protecting its calf.

Xie Shuer hid behind Pei Heng and looked at the two people opposite him timidly, as if Fang Xu and Cui Shangshu were some man-eating beasts.
