The queen is tea-smooth and charming, and she wins the house fight by lying down

Chapter 14 He wants to marry, and he will bear the consequences at his own risk

"Although the Duke's family is of high status, the eldest daughter was also pampered when she grew up. She cannot lose face after getting married, so I specially sent you my most precious treasure. I said I wanted to give it to you a long time ago, please take a look and see if you like it..."

Facing the enthusiastic, loving and chattering Nanny Han, Yue Xihua suddenly said, "Nanny Han, I want to see my grandmother."

Nanny Han paused, her face became a little stiff, and she said, "Miss, please don't embarrass me..."

With one sentence, the warmth in the girl's eyes disappeared.

Yue Xianhua stopped talking and the atmosphere became cold.

Nanny Han coughed lightly, pretending not to notice, and urged enthusiastically: "Miss, you haven't read it yet? Open it first and see if you like it. This is all from the old lady's heart."

Yue Xianhua pursed her pink lips and raised her hand to open the box.

A priceless headdress was quietly placed in the box. At a glance, she remembered that this was the one her grandmother had promised to give her when she got married.

I thought I would never have it in this lifetime, but who would have thought that after so many twists and turns, it would eventually end up in her hands.

Seeing that Yue Huahua's expression was slightly moved, Nanny Han immediately struck while the iron was hot and said something suggestive:
"The eldest lady is very smart. Do you understand what the old lady means?"

The thin and slender white fingers suddenly tightened, and Yue Luhua said nothing.

Nanny Han was a little anxious, but she didn't show it on her face. She still spoke in a gentle and smiling tone, as if she was a caring elder who was giving gentle guidance:

"Young lady, you know that from childhood to adulthood, the old lady loves you the most. Even though she is bedridden now, she is still concerned about your marriage, fearing that something might go wrong.

In addition to bringing gifts, I also have a message for the young lady.

The old lady asked the old servant to tell the eldest daughter that the Duke's Mansion was a good family. After marrying there, the eldest daughter would belong to the Duke's Mansion. She should always abide by her duties as a daughter-in-law, support her husband and raise her children, and take good care of her new family. She should never be distracted by the affairs of her natal family.

The old lady said that you will always be her granddaughter. This headdress is her token of her love. I wish you a safe and happy marriage and a long life with your husband."

After saying that, she smiled and waited patiently for the girl's response.

After a long while, the girl bowed her head and replied, "Please rest assured, grandma. I understand."

It is precisely because I understood that I was completely disappointed.

If she still had a glimmer of hope before this, it was completely annihilated at this moment.

"I'm a little tired, so I won't ask Madam to come in."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Han was about to say something, but when she met the girl's clear eyes, she suddenly became speechless.

Finally, he could only take a step back and said, "Miss, you should have a good rest. The wedding is coming soon, so don't get too tired."

Yue Xianhua curled the corner of her mouth indifferently. She had been locked in the room and couldn't take a step out. How could she be tired?
Perhaps knowing that there was something wrong with her words, Nanny Han shut her mouth.

The door was closed, and Yunzhi was holding the jewelry box with an excited and happy expression:
"Look, young lady, the old lady has you in her heart! When you marry her, you will have the support of the Marquisate, and no one will be able to bully you..."

"Wrong." Yue Yanhua interrupted her.

Yunzhi was stunned: "Ah?"

"What kind of status does the Duke's Mansion have? Why didn't they marry a truly noble lady and chose me instead?"

The girl glanced at the box that the little girl was holding tightly in her arms, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of her mouth:
"If I really marry him, how will I cope when my true identity is exposed? Should I die to atone for my crime?"

She said the last sentence in a joking tone, but Yunzhi was dizzy when she heard it:

"How, how could this happen?"

"That's it." Yue Huahua's voice was soft and pleasant.

She knew better than anyone what her grandmother meant by sending her the headdress: once she married into the Duke's Mansion, her life and death would no longer have anything to do with the Marquis' Mansion. And she no longer owed the Marquis' Mansion anything.

She looked away from the box, gave Yunzhi a beautiful smile, and said lightly: "You know, according to the laws of Daqi, marriage fraud is a criminal offense." "What!"

Yunzhi's hands shook and she almost dropped the box.

She was about to cry: "But, but, the Second Young Master knew the young lady's background from the beginning."

The smile on Yue Huahua's face faded slightly.

Yes, the only thing she couldn't figure out was:

Xiao Yan clearly knew it, so why did he still come to propose marriage?
Even if it was to avoid Princess Anyang, she shouldn't have been chosen...

"Miss, you..."

"Find the 'Pine and Crane Longevity Picture' that I embroidered and send it to grandma."

Yunzhi was about to say a few words to comfort her young lady when she was interrupted.

She was a little confused. Weren't they just talking about the young lady's marriage? Why did they suddenly turn to embroidery?

However, the girl in front of him had already put away her confused and sad expression, fluttered her long eyelashes, and spoke lightly:
"My second aunt prepared such a great gift for me, I should return the favor."

*
"This is from the eldest lady. She said she was afraid she would miss the old lady's birthday, so she had to send the gift in advance. I wish the old lady a long life and good health."

"This child, despite all the things we did to her, still thought about me. Our love for her was not in vain."

Looking at the delicate, exquisite and lifelike painting of pine and crane in front of her, Mrs. Yue's eyes were filled with emotion.

"I wonder how much thought this child put into embroidering this picture..."

As she spoke, the old lady couldn't help but well up in tears when she thought of the days when she was sitting in his arms.

Although the old marquis on the side did not speak, his expression was somewhat complicated.

Suddenly, just as the maid was comforting the old lady, the old Marquis of Yong'an spoke: "Someone, go and call Wu!"

Mrs. Wu, who was in the room getting angry at her husband for the mountain of betrothal gifts, was suddenly "invited" and suddenly became a little flustered.

"I wonder what my father-in-law wants me to do?"

*
Yue Xianhua: "When grandfather sees that 'birthday gift', he will remember my good deeds. He will not blame himself, but others. If nothing unexpected happens, my second aunt will not have an easy time in the next few days."

As expected, it wasn’t long before word spread that “the Second Lady prayed for the Old Lady’s safety, and personally went to the ancestral hall to kneel and pray for blessings for half a month, eating vegetarian food and worshipping Buddha. She was not allowed to leave.”

Yue Xianhua received the news, but was not very happy.

Yunzhi on the side thought for a long time and finally said:
"If, if marrying the Second Young Master is really so dangerous, can you not marry him?"

Yue Hua raised his eyes to look at her with a smile in his eyes: "Marry her. Why not? He wants to marry her, so he has to bear the consequences himself."

Actually, there was another meaning behind the headgear her grandmother gave her, which was to let her fight for a future with her own abilities.

Even though she is a fake legitimate daughter, her years of upbringing are not fake.

As long as she can capture her husband, even if he is exposed, she will not be doomed.

But unfortunately, she will be disappointed.

She really doesn't want to stay in Chang'an anymore.

As long as there is a chance, she will leave without any regrets.
