Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 325 Unforgettable Love (1)
After speaking, she ran out, but when she reached the door, she was stopped by the rough envoy who was guarding outside.

"Presumptuous! Let me go out quickly, I'm going to see my father, no, I want to go to the palace to meet His Majesty, and let His Majesty take it back." Su Qingxue shouted.

At this time, Su Yao, the British Duke, was standing not far from the small courtyard. Hearing Su Qingxue's words, his expression did not change at all. The previous love seemed to have disappeared all of a sudden.And his appearance, compared to a few months ago, looked much older and tired, and he was no longer as vigorous as before.

"Watch Second Miss closely, don't let her run out!" After Su Yao finished speaking, she sighed slightly: "It's really a wrong step, wrong step, now, our mansion can't stand the trouble. "

Speaking of which, His Majesty's imperial decree for bestowing marriage should also be issued. I hope that Marquis Changwu's reaction will not be too big, and he will not be alienated from their British government because of this matter, because he is forced to do so. Besides, he He has already given him both daughters, what else does he want?
The next day, the imperial decree of granting marriage was promulgated, causing an uproar.

No one expected that His Majesty would promulgate such an imperial decree for bestowing marriage.

He even asked the Duke of England's second daughter to marry Chang Wuhou as a sequel.It is really unexpected to hear that the imperial decree was requested by the British Duke.

However, if you think about it carefully, you don't think it's impossible.

After all, the British government has begun to show signs of decline, and it needs the support of a strong in-law. Moreover, Changwuhou's mansion is their in-law, and Xiao Su's family is dead. Why should they look far away?
Originally, when the wife died, the man had to guard for a year.But later on, many men did not advocate men to guard their wives, and some people would even be ridiculed if they really guarded their wives for a year. Therefore, there are even fewer guards, unless the man really has deep affection for his wife.This is true for the original spouse, let alone the second wife, so no one has any opinion on Chang Wuhou marrying another so soon, not to mention, it is the will of the Holy Majesty.

Some people even secretly speculated that if the rumors about Mrs. Chu were true, and she was really the former Mrs. Changwuhou, then was it because His Majesty felt guilty for taking away Changwuhou's wife, that he sent himself His cousin was rationed to Marquis Changwu?
Although this is just a wild guess, and many people think it is unreliable, but because this kind of guessing is too satisfying for people's gossip psychology, they don't care whether it is the truth or not. In private, this kind of guessing takes a kind of The unbelievable speed is spreading in the capital, maybe it won't be long before some unofficial histories or novels will be published, but the content is definitely far from the truth.

To outsiders, this imperial decree, apart from being surprised, just added some talk and gossip, but to Changwuhou Mansion, it was nothing less than a bolt from the blue.

This day happened to be Xiu Mu, and when the imperial decree of marriage arrived, Huo Yuan was also in the mansion.

After receiving the imperial edict, everyone including Huo Yuan was dumbfounded.

Mrs. Chang Wu Hou looked at Tao Shi aside with dull eyes and said, "What does this edict say? I can't hear well, so I didn't understand it."

Tao's expression was also a little blank. Hearing Mrs. Tai's question, she subconsciously said: "My daughter-in-law seems to have heard that His Majesty has given a marriage to Lord Marquis and the second daughter of the Duke of England."

After hearing this, Madam Marquis of Changwu murmured: "The second daughter of the British prince...the second daughter of the British prince..."

Then, as if she had just realized it, she took a breath and immediately denied: "This is impossible, you must have heard it wrong."

Tao Shi couldn't believe his ears and nodded in a daze, and said, "Maybe it's my daughter-in-law who heard it wrong."

Mrs. Changwu Houtai breathed a sigh of relief.She knew it was impossible.

Unfortunately, the next moment, someone broke her self-deception.

After the father-in-law passing the decree left, the second wife Hong couldn't help shouting exaggeratedly: "Old lady, third sibling, what should we do? Su Qingxue is so unruly and self-willed, and doesn't know how to behave. Isn't it going to make a fuss in the mansion, and she is a troublemaker, how can our Hou mansion withstand her tossing again and again?"

When Madam Changwuhou heard that Su Qingxue was really going to marry, she almost didn't come up.

If Su Wan had just "died" and the title of Baoling county lord had not been deprived, this kind of imperial decree for granting marriage had been promulgated, Mrs. Changwu Houtai would have been ecstatic, but unfortunately, she is still avoiding the mess of the British government now. It's too late, why would you take the initiative to get married with them?Not to mention being such a troublemaker, a broom star.

You know, Su Qingxue has already defeated such a big British government, how can their Changwuhou's residence be spared?

The more Mrs. Changwu Houtai thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved, and the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. She couldn't say that the marriage gift was not good, otherwise, she would be disrespectful to the emperor. Her old face turned red, and she clutched her chest and gasped for breath. .

In addition to Mrs. Changwuhou and the others, several concubines of Changwuhou, as well as their children, were also shocked and disturbed, especially Huo Lingyun, whose mood was extremely complicated. She knew Su Qingxue's temperament better than anyone else. Well, if she gets married, don't expect her to take care of her and her brother.

But this edict stimulated them far less than Huo Yuan.

Since Huo Yuan received the imperial edict, he has not spoken, and his expression is very calm.

After a while, he let out a little breath, and walked out directly with the imperial decree.

"Master Hou, what are you going to do?" Even though Mrs. Changwu Houtai suffered a great blow and was depressed, she still paid attention to Huo Yuan, because she knew better than others that Huo Yuan cared about Xiao Su's family. , fearing that he would be overly stimulated, impulsive, and do something irreversible.

Huo Yuan said without looking back: "I'll go into the palace."

With that said, let people go to prepare the horse.

"Stop! Don't go!" Mrs. Changwu Hou Tai was shocked and hurriedly stopped her loudly.

But Huo Yuan would not listen to her, he had already gone far.

"It's over, it's over, it's really over now." Mrs. Chang Wuhou couldn't help but stomped her feet fiercely when her eyes turned black, and she passed out again.

Because of receiving the order just now, Huo Yuan was wearing an official uniform, so he didn't need to change, he got on his horse and ran towards the palace.

This time, he couldn't take it anymore, and he was going to ask His Majesty for clarification.

He must refuse the marriage, even if he is convicted because of it, he will not hesitate to do so.

He will not continue to be silent.

Palace, Palace of Diligence.

In the open room of the front hall, there are horizontal thrones, screens, imperial cases, palace fans and other objects. Emperor Xiande sat behind the imperial case. He had just finished approving a memorial when he saw the little eunuch outside the hall and came in to report: I report to Your Majesty, Marquis Changwu, please see me."
