The next morning, Mrs. Gong came to Xu Zining's room, and said straight to the point: "Miss Xu, how are you thinking these days?"

He helped Mrs. Gong to sit down on the chair, and then poured her a cup of tea. Xu Zining sat down next to her. The sky has not rested well: "Old lady, I have made up my mind, I am willing to marry the second son as my wife."

"Are you really thinking about it?" Although Xu Zining was expected to agree, her straightforwardness still surprised Mrs. Gong: "No regrets?"

"I object!"

Before Xu Zining said anything, a crisp voice suddenly sounded, and then a young woman in a green dress rushed from the inner room to the two of them.

Staring at the young woman who suddenly appeared, Mrs. Gong wore a kind smile on her face, and the sullenness in her eyes was fleeting: "Miss Xu, who is this girl?"

"Back to the old lady, she is my distant cousin Li Xue, I sent someone to send a letter to my father saying that I am going to get married, but my father injured his leg when he went to the mountain to collect medicine a few days ago, so I asked my cousin to come to the wedding instead. "Xu Zining explained softly, then turned to look at Li Xue: "Cousin, this is the old lady."

Seeing the pleading gaze from his cousin, Li Xue saluted to the old lady Gong and said: "Li Xue has seen the old lady." The delicate face was always full of anger and depression.

After giving Li Xue a wink, Xu Zining looked at Madam Gong and said apologetically, "My cousin grew up in the mountains. She has always been outspoken but pure in nature. She doesn't understand the rules of the palace. Please forgive me, Madam."

"It's okay." Madam Gong's smile did not change, but her eyes kept staring at Li Xue: "Miss Li, tell me why you object to this marriage?"

Li Xue didn't have the timidity and fear she should have after knowing that the person in front of her is the old lady of the palace. Instead, she said angrily: "We know that our family is poor, so we have never dreamed of clinging to any rich family, let alone for the sake of it." Wealthy marry into a wealthy family and become small;

The cousin sent a letter saying that he wanted to get married. The uncle thought that the other party was an ordinary person, thinking that it was time for the cousin to get married, so he didn't object, and asked me to attend the wedding for him;

I didn't know until I got here that it turned out that my cousin was married to the palace, but she was actually married to a ghost. How can we accept this?If it spreads out, won't the folks point to our backbone and scold us for selling girls for glory and destroying our conscience? "

"cousin......"

Seeing Mrs. Gong's faltering smile and deep eyes, Xu Zining hastily tugged on Li Xue's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Cousin, stop talking."

"Why didn't you say it?" Li Xue patted Xu Zining's hand away, looked at Mrs. Gong who was pursing her lips tightly, then looked at Xu Zining and asked, "cousin, did they force you to do this? Don't be afraid, Even if you risk your life, my cousin will protect you and seek justice for you, I don't believe that there is no justice and king's law in this world?"

"The old lady didn't force me, I did it voluntarily." Xu Zining said eagerly, fearing that his cousin's impulsiveness would cause trouble.

Hearing this, Li Xue stared at Xu Zining with wide eyes, and asked in disbelief, "What did you say?"

"I said this is all voluntary on my own, and has nothing to do with others." Xu Zining said firmly, "For more than a year, the old lady has treated me very well, loving and loving her like a granddaughter. I can't bear to leave the old lady."

"Even if the old lady treats you well, you can't sacrifice your life's happiness just to repay your kindness!" Li Xue scolded angrily, "Don't forget, you are the only one, but you want to marry a... How will you survive the long, countless days and nights in the future?"

Looking at Mrs. Gong, Xu Zining's light tone revealed firmness: "I will always take care of the old lady filially, and provide for the old lady until the end of her life."

Mrs. Gong, who had been quietly watching the two quarreling endlessly, had a smile on her face when she heard the words, and she was secretly proud that she was right about Xu Zining.

"What about your father? Don't you care about your father?"

"My father..."

Xu Zining's beautiful face was slightly sad and remorseful, and a layer of mist gradually appeared in his eyes. After a while, he bowed to Li Xueying: "My father will ask my cousin to take care of me, please tell my father, and tell my son Rather than being filial, I ask father Quan to be... Quan to pretend that I don't have a daughter like me."

"You..." Li Xue was furious when she heard that, she blushed and pointed at Xu Zining's nose and scolded, "Zining, when did you become so greedy for vanity? For the sake of the palace's glory and wealth, you even got married Even if you don't recognize your father, are you still human?"

Xu Zining lowered his head and said nothing, but tightly grasped the precious silk handkerchief with his hands on his knees, as if he was about to tear the silk handkerchief into pieces.

Mrs. Gong is very satisfied with Xu Zining's actions. In her opinion, as long as she can achieve her goal, even close relatives can resolutely give up.

But obviously, Xu Zining still needs a lot of experience, if he can't be cold-hearted and heartless, Xu Zining is not worthy to be her pawn.

"Okay, okay, since you have made up your mind to want glory and wealth and not relatives, let's make a clean break. I will tell uncle, as if I don't have your daughter, and I don't have your cousin!" After finishing speaking, Li Xuefeng rushed into the inner room , After a while, he rushed out with a small wooden box in his arms: "This is the dowry my uncle prepared for my daughter. I will take it back and return it to my uncle. As for your wedding, I don't need to attend it. Farewell!"

"Wait!"

Following Mrs. Gong's order, Li Xue who had just rushed to the door was stopped by Xiangcui and the others in time.

Li Xue was stunned, and then desperately wanted to rush out, but Xiang Cui and the four of them were stuck side by side at the door and couldn't get out, so she had to give up, turned around, and glared at Mrs. Gong: "What do you want to do?"

Xu Zining also immediately raised his head, looked at his cousin who was frowning and angry, and suddenly got up and walked to the old lady Gong and knelt down: "Old lady, cousin... Li Xue has always been irritable and reckless when speaking and doing things. They have nothing to do with her, and Zining is about to marry the second son as his wife. Zining doesn't want any unlucky things to happen on this happy day. Let her go."

"Zining, get up quickly." Reaching out to help Xu Zining, seeing the anxiety and worry in her eyes, Mrs. Gong was quite unhappy, but she said kindly on her face, "Don't worry about Zining. The girl just asked her to attend the wedding between you and Xiong'er, and after the wedding is over, she will naturally send someone to send Miss Li back."

Seeing that Xu Zining opened his mouth to say something, Mrs. Gong said solemnly: "Don't worry, although you have broken away from her, the visitor is a guest, if outsiders know that the palace has driven the guests away, what face does the palace have to stand in the world? Zi Ning said, is this the reason?"

"It's because Zining didn't think carefully, thank you for the old lady's teaching." Xu Zining lowered his head in shame.

"Good boy, in the future, I will slowly teach you how to be the head of the palace." The smile on Madam Gong's face became more and more amiable: "Miss Li is a guest, so it's inappropriate to live here again, how about it, from now on From now on, I will move to the guest room, and I will send two maids to serve Miss Li, so you can prepare for the wedding with peace of mind."

Xu Zining nodded: "Zi Ning obeys the old lady's arrangements."

Instructing Xiangcui and Xianghuan to take Li Xue to the guest room, Mrs. Gong took a meaningful look at the wooden box in Li Xue's arms. Xiangcui and Xianghuan immediately understood it. Shouting and running away, He Xianghuan took Li Xue away.

Over here, Mrs. Gong took Xu Zining's hand and sat down beside her, staring straight into her eyes and asked, "Zining, I know that you are wronged by marrying Xiong'er, I promise you that you can think about it again."

"Thanks to the old lady's great love, Zi Ning is very grateful, and he should do his best to be filial to the old lady."

"No regrets?"

"I don't regret it!" Xu Zining's brows revealed determination and determination.

"You are really a good granddaughter-in-law." Patting the back of Xu Zining's hand, Madam Gong said lovingly: "From now on, you are the second young lady of the palace, and will soon be the head of the palace, and in the future, you will be the queen of a country." , whoever dares to disrespect you, I will never forgive you!"

Although he tried his best to appear calm, Xu Zining still showed a trace of excitement on his face: "Zi Ning will definitely live up to the old lady's love and cultivation."

"Very good." Mrs. Gong nodded in satisfaction.

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Zining asked cautiously: "Madam, when will the wedding be held?"

"Is Zining in a hurry?"

Hearing the embarrassment in the old lady's tone, Xu Zining's beautiful face suddenly flushed with a little blush, as charming as Mu Yu's peach blossom, and said coquettishly: "Old lady..."

"Okay, getting married is a good thing, nothing to be shy about." Mrs. Gong said with a smile, "I have already chosen a date, which is the second day of May."

"Today is April 27th, and there are only five days until the second day of May. Will the time be tighter?" Xu Zining asked cautiously.

Mrs. Gong waved her hand: "It's okay. The Wang's family has a big business, so it's no problem to hold a wedding, and since the day Xiong'er went to learn art from a teacher, I have started to prepare dowry gifts for him, and now there are sixty boxes. I will not wrong you."

"Does the lord agree?" Xu Zining carefully observed the old lady's reaction.

After hearing this, Mrs. Gong's expression changed slightly, revealing a hint of anger.

She exhausted all kinds of methods and even forced her to die, but her son still did not return to the palace, let alone handle the funeral affairs for Xiong'er, enter his name in the family tree and be buried in the ancestral grave. If it is not recognized, it will be impossible for her to obtain the right to rule Jiuyuan County in a legitimate way.

no!No one can hinder her plan!
