Second marriage to the regent

Chapter 4 Acceptance
"Want to enter the Marquis' Mansion? You are wishful thinking!"

As the sound of crutches hitting the ground was heard, everyone followed the sound and looked panicked.

I saw an old lady who was nearly fifty years old. She was wearing Buddhist beads in one hand and holding a walking stick in the other. She was dressed in simple clothes. Although she was old, she was still full of energy.

Ye quickly stepped back from her seat to give up her seat, and took a peek at Su Junxi who was supporting the old lady. Seeing that her face was still expressionless, she felt a little undecided.

"Mother, sit down."

Things have developed out of control, and Ye can't let this matter spread even if she is reluctant.

Just looking at the old lady, it was a little hard to say.

"Just now, Xi'er and I heard it at the door. Old lady, I no longer have the mind to care about this. Our house has always been made by the mistress, and only Xi'er has the final say on this matter."

Bai was a little shocked and raised her head in panic, but she met Su Junxi's eyes that scrutinized her. She just glanced at her lightly, and she felt cold.

She looked at Tang Zhili and saw that the man who had said sweetly yesterday that he would take her into the Marquis' Mansion was now like a wooden head and said nothing.

Looking at the two people standing in the middle of the hall, with all their little moves visible, Su Junxi suddenly felt a little ridiculous.

After all, she was the sweetheart she had liked for many years. In her previous life, she was greedy for beauty and was impressed by his talent. How many women were willing to go through fire and water, but she came out on top in this competition.

It's a pity that for him, I am just a tool to stabilize his position and help him climb up.

Since ancient times, men have been passionate about love. Women in this feudal era have suffered a lot, and there is no way out after marrying as a wife.

She originally thought that she would be like her mother, meeting a good husband who loved her, respecting each other as guests, and growing old together. The hope that was repeatedly ignited gradually disappeared as he dealt with betrayal again and again.

Now, he actually tried to get her to agree to take a concubine.

This man... simply sucks.

Tang Zhili was waiting for Su Junxi to speak. He was sure that Su Junxi would agree to him taking a concubine. With her affection for him over the years, he was confident.

But that person made no move.

He couldn't stand her innate arrogance the most, so he said bravely:

"Grandma, your grandson is unfilial. But the child is innocent. You can't let the mother and son live alone, without enough food and clothing, without warmth, while others look on coldly."

The old lady glanced at him: "You can take a concubine if you want, but you need the mistress's nod!"

Tang Zhili frowned angrily, but he did not dare to be disrespectful to his grandmother.

Bai looked at Su Junxi in horror. She never expected that the old lady would value Su Junxi with such a dead face so much.

The dignified Marquis of Jing'an Mansion actually still acts based on the look of a woman, so cowardly!
When her eyes were filled with tears again, she looked at Tang Zhili with tearful eyes.

Seeing her pitiful and frail look, Tang Zhili's heart almost broke. For all these years, he had been unwilling to face Su's dead face and couldn't bring out the slightest interest. However, Bai's was different. She was so fragile. The adoration in her eyes made him feel alive and like a man.

"Grandma, my grandson must marry! Tomorrow, my grandson will take the two of them back to the Marquis Mansion!"

"How dare you!" The old lady banged her cane on the ground angrily.

"Grandma, please calm down." Su Junxi tried her best to comfort the old lady, and then said: "If this Bai family comes into the Hou family as a concubine, it will definitely make people laugh. But this child is the flesh and blood of the Hou family after all. , How can I deny it?"

"In my grandson's opinion, it's better to take Jun'er back to the house first. As for Bai, it's not right for the child to be without his mother, so just stay and take care of the child."

The old lady was silent for a moment, then asked with a skeptical tone: "Are you willing?"

Su Junxi smiled slightly and said sensibly: "I am the mistress of the house. I have been married into the Hou Mansion for many years and have nothing to do. Now that I have an additional child, the house can be more lively." Tang Zhili finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was indeed the most popular. Someone who knows her clearly.

"It's just that my granddaughter-in-law also has something to ask for."

"Just say it."

Su Junxi said: "Today, the Marquis suddenly brought back the Bai family, breaking the promise he made to his granddaughter-in-law. If this happens again, my grandson-daughter-in-law will make peace with her."

"No!"

Ye interrupted her.

Su Junxi pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Why not?"

Why not?Naturally, they are afraid that they will lose the big tree of Anguo Gongfu as a support. If the Su family is gone, the Tang family, above the imperial court, will once again experience tragedy and be helpless.

"This..." The old lady also felt that something was wrong, but after all, this matter had wronged Su Junxi, so she changed the subject and said: "You are the mistress of the house, and the prince's mansion will naturally be inherited by the legitimate son, so there is no need to worry about anything else."

The old lady thought that Su Junxi was afraid that the Bai family's children would inherit the Hou family.

Su Junxi sneered and said, "Grandma, the Marquis and I will never have children."

Ye's big man, his jaw almost dislocated in shock, said tremblingly: "Why...why?"

Bai was secretly happy, it turned out that her belly was not what she wanted!

"My daughter-in-law has consulted the imperial doctor. She is unable to have children. I'm afraid she will not be able to continue her work in the Marquis's residence." Su Junxi said.

Tang Zhili had a cold face. He had never touched Su Junxi since they got married, so whether her words were true or false remained to be verified.

The old lady knew that she had gone to see the Queen Mother, so she probably just wanted to see her body, so she said nothing more: "In that case, let's take the two of them into the house first, and then make a decision on the rest!"

Su Junxi's infertility is a big deal to the Hou family. If there is no legitimate son to continue the family tradition, their Tang family will be at an end for their generation.

Thinking of this, the light in Ye's eyes dimmed a lot. She could never leave the responsibility of continuing her career to Su Junxi.

Looking at a room full of people with different expressions, Su Junxi sneered in her heart. It turned out that just saying "infertile" could make her lose her status in everyone's hearts.

"Mother..." Ye finally couldn't hold back and spoke.

"That's enough!" The old lady knew what Ye wanted to say, but since Su Junxi was still in the front hall, she impatiently tapped the ground with her cane: "That's it for today, old lady, I'm tired too."

Then he was about to stand up and leave. Su Junxi was about to step forward to help her, but was rejected by the old lady: "Old lady, I'm quite agile and I don't need help."

"Grandma, walk slowly." Su Junxi retracted her hand in embarrassment.

Mrs. Bai twisted her handkerchief and saw Su Junxi's embarrassing scene. She couldn't hide the pride in her eyes. How about being the mistress of the house?What about the legitimate daughter of Duke An Guo?It’s not even a chicken that can’t lay eggs!What should I use to fight her?

She was jealous of Su Junxi's background, but at the same time she pitied Su Junxi for not being qualified to be a mother, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly.

This scene happened to be captured by Su Junxi. Bai shrank her neck with some guilt and immediately lowered her head.

Tang Zhili held Bai's shoulders and helped her stand up. Bai fell into his arms and cast a victorious look at Su Junxi.

Su Junxi still looked calm, which made her feel a little more angry.
