Chapter 522 Good luck lies behind

Pei Shaorong was relieved to hear her say that.

"That's it. What's the difficulty? But does the Duke Chengguo's Mansion really plan to propose marriage? By the way, I also heard something. I heard that the youngest son of the Hu family made a fool of himself last night! Is it true?" Pei Shaorong was bored and started gossiping.

Xiaoqing started gossiping in her ear early this morning.

Life in the palace was monotonous and boring, and everyone's favorite thing to do was to stare outside the palace to see if there was anything interesting that they could share.

Well, last night’s incident caused quite a stir, so it reached the palace early this morning and she also heard about it.

The reason why she took it to heart was because she knew that the Geng family almost became relatives with the Hu family, and the young lady of the Geng family almost got married with the young master of the Hu family.

Now that the Chengguo Mansion is interested in marriage with the Geng family, she will naturally pay more attention to it.

"It's true. There's a big commotion outside now. I heard that Lord Hu fainted from anger last night!" Xu Muhua was quite gloating.

Pei Shaorong couldn't help laughing, "No wonder I heard that Lord Hu didn't attend court today and asked for sick leave. I guess he lost face. Sorry."

"That's not the case! If he dares to come to court, I'll make sure people don't scold him to death!"

Mr. Hu had offended many people on a daily basis, and now it was his own family's turn to be embarrassed. This made his usual righteous words seem hypocritical and ridiculous.

You have time to blame others, but no time to teach your own children well.

Especially a few days ago, Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Geng were close. Although nothing concrete had been reported, those who understood understood. It was because everyone understood that they now ridiculed and despised the Hu family even more.

You are covered in shit, and you want to touch other people's bodies without washing yourself clean. How mean!

"Fortunately, the Geng family saw through their true colors in time. Otherwise, the marriage would have been settled, and now such a scandal would have happened, and Miss Geng's reputation would have been ruined."

"That's right! It proves that Miss Geng is a blessed person, and there is more good fortune to come!"

Pei Shaorong teased, "Yes, yes, yes! If the Geng family and your Xu family can really get engaged, she will be your sister-in-law in the future. Isn't that a blessing! Your own eldest brother is praising himself. Aren't you ashamed!"

"Why should I be ashamed? This is the truth! Didn't you praise brother Huaiyuan as well? In a few years, it will be time for brother Huaiyuan to get married, right? You and your aunt can start looking for the right person now and take your time."

After all, people can pretend for a while, but not forever. It is too late to observe whether a person is upright when it is time to discuss marriage.

Pei Shaorong smiled and said, "Huaiyuan is still young, there is no rush. But your Xu family, your eldest brother is planning to get married now, and your younger brother will be married soon, right? Your younger brother is older than Huaiyuan!"

Xu Muhua was stunned for a moment, then slapped his forehead, "Oh, I didn't even notice it if you didn't mention it! Yes, Anan will also be getting married in a few years!"

It’s time to get ready!
Once these troublesome things were resolved, she would have some free time and energy to look for a good girl. When Anan grew up and it was time for her to get married, she would quickly ask her mother to go and propose marriage!
Of course, if Anan looks down on others, or if others look down on him, there is no need to force it, otherwise it would be terrible if they become a pair of resentful couple.

"I'll take you to the warehouse now. See for yourself if there's anything suitable. Just take it!" Pei Shaorong said.

"Then I won't be polite. If the prince says something bad about me, you have to speak up for me."

"How could the prince say anything bad about you? He is not such a petty person."

"That's hard to say! Maybe he doesn't like me taking things from the East Palace back to Duke Cheng's Mansion to save face?"

Pei Shaorong was amused. "Don't talk nonsense. How can the prince be so stingy? No matter what you say, she is still his concubine. If he dares to be dissatisfied, I will scold him without you saying anything." "Okay, Rong, I feel relieved when you say that."

Of course there are a lot of good things in the East Palace’s warehouse, which makes people dazzled.

Xu Muhua couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the life of rich people is so luxurious that ordinary people can't imagine it.

There are a lot of good things in the warehouse, everything you need.

It's just that you have to give enough face when proposing marriage, but not too much, after all, there will be a big wedding later. If you praise the Geng family too much at the beginning, there is no guarantee that the Geng family will not take advantage of you in the future.

Finally, she picked out a few items that were not too excessive, which could show her status but were not too grand and precious.

Pei Shaorong did not go in with her, but waited outside. She had seen the storehouse not long after she married into the Eastern Palace, so she really had no curiosity.

After all, they are your own things, who has the time to think about them every day?

Seeing that she came out not long after entering, she was a little surprised, "You picked it so quickly?"

"It doesn't take long to pick out a gift!"

Pei Shaorong also took a look at the gift she had chosen and nodded secretly. She felt that it was reasonable to give it when proposing marriage, and no one could find fault with it. Giving something too expensive would make people feel that the Duke Cheng was being pushy.

Xu Muhua handed the selected gift to Wu'er and asked her to hold it.

"Arong, if everything is ok, I will go back first."

"Well, go back. I don't have to worry too much about your grandmother. I heard from the prince last night that the emperor has ordered the imperial physician to do his best. If you need anything, just go to the imperial pharmacy. With the imperial physician here, your grandmother will definitely be out of danger."

Hearing this, Xu Muhua sneered in his heart.

This is the time to pretend!

But his face was full of gratitude: "With your words, I feel relieved. Next time I go to pay my respects to you, I will kneel down and thank you!"

Xu Muhua and Pei Shaorong waved their hands and prepared to return to their Yichun Palace.

But a person was walking towards them. When he got closer, they recognized him at a glance. He was someone from the Queen's palace.

"This servant greets the Crown Princess, Concubine Xu."

Pei Shaorong raised her hand, "Why did Aunt Pinghua come to the East Palace at this time? Is there something important?"

"Crown Princess, the Queen heard about the old lady of Duke Cheng's Mansion and specially asked me to come and invite Concubine Xu to Changchun Palace for a visit."

What this means is that the Queen wants to ask about the old lady of Duke Chengguo's Mansion.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Madam. I'll go there with my aunt right away."

Wu'er had no choice but to hand the things to Xiaoqing first, and went to Changchun Palace with Xu Muhua.

On the way to Changchun Palace, Xu Muhua's thoughts turned over countless times. Thinking of what her father said before returning to the East Palace, she had a rough guess in her mind, and her heart calmed down.
