Lu family's daughter-in-law

Chapter 222
After Wu Mingju came back, Su Yue quietly told him about Xu Mu's marriage proposal.

Wu Mingju listened and looked at his wife, hesitant to speak.

Su Yue knew what he was going to say, and it was nothing more than that Xu Mu was a good person, and it was good for Zhao Zhao to marry him. She advised her not to take things too seriously. After so long, everyone already believed that Zhao Zhao was the blood of the Wu family.But what if?Su Yue gave birth to four children, but she loved her daughter the most, and it didn't matter who the father was, because her daughter was in danger, so she had to worry more.

"Go and persuade Zhaozhao, she listens to you."

Rejecting Xu Mu will soon hurt her daughter's heart again, and Suyue's chest feels uncomfortable.

Seeing that his wife was sad, Wu Mingju didn't dare to persuade her any more. He sighed and went to find his daughter. Of course, he didn't mention Xu Mu. He only said that Tai'an was busy with business and had to go back tomorrow.

"Then daddy will go back by himself, my mother and we live in the capital, daddy will come back after he's busy." Zhao Zhao pouted coquettishly.

"No, there are people in the capital with ulterior motives, so I don't worry." Wu Mingju couldn't stand his daughter's acting like a baby, and was afraid that he would compromise if she said too much, so he stood up with a sullen face, "That's it, you guys help the girl pack up and leave tomorrow morning." After glancing at the two maidservants in the room, Wu Mingju left quickly.

Zhao Zhao chased after two steps, then stopped slowly, with downcast eyes.

It's all his fault that he didn't come to propose marriage. If he comes earlier, parents won't leave in a hurry.

He blamed Xu Mu, Zhao Zhao couldn't sleep at night, and he blamed himself a little bit, knowing that he was stupid, why did he play tricks on him?

The Wu family left Beijing the next day.

Ning Xiang led the children to send them off. Zhao Zhao didn't see Xu Mu, and the brilliance in her eyes faded instantly. She got on the carriage and looked out quietly, but she never saw Xu Mu.Zhao Zhao was very sad, not knowing whether Xu Mu misunderstood that she didn't like him and gave up, or whether Xu Mu didn't really want her.

Thinking of the man who was carrying her through the long temple path, Zhaozhao wanted to cry.

Su Yue watched from the side, seeing that her daughter was obviously sad but still pretended to be the same as usual, her heart ached to death, but her daughter and Xu Mu were really not suitable, so she told Xu Mu last night that he didn't have to come today.Since there is no result, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

Several carriages went further and further away.

Xu Mu rode his horse and hid in a small forest outside the city. Looking at the carriage slowly going away, he lost his mind.

Winter came very early this year. In mid-October, there was a heavy snowfall.

After coming down to court, Xiao Luo called Xiao Nan and Xu Mu, and they went back to Chongzheng Hall together.

"Xu Mu, I don't think you are very happy recently?" Xiao Luo sat on the warm couch, holding a tea bowl, chatting authentically, "Did you see that the prince got married, and you, as an uncle, haven't married yet, so I'm anxious ? Your sister and brother-in-law are too, why don't you help me make a fuss, why don't I give you a good marriage?"

Hearing this, Xiao Nan gave his father a weird look, not understanding why he suddenly wanted to be a matchmaker.

Xu Mu forced a smile on his face, lowered his head and said: "The emperor has wrongly blamed my sister and brother-in-law. They keep urging me, but I haven't wanted to settle down yet."

Xiao Luo nodded and let him go down.

After Xu Mu left, Xiao Luo sat cross-legged on the couch, and motioned for his son to sit opposite the low table, and wanted to play chess with him.

Father and son often play chess, Xiao Nan didn't think much about it.

Halfway through the chess game, Xiao Luo asked his son to the chessboard: "Xu Mu has been depressed recently, do you know why?"

Xiao Nan's heart skipped a beat.

Xu Mu was unhappy, of course he could see it, he had asked, Guoer had asked, and the two had asked their adoptive mother when they were guests in the Hou Mansion, but no one knew what was on Xu Mu's mind.Father suddenly brought up this issue, does he know the inside story?

Xiao Nan looked at his father on the opposite side, and said in a low voice, "Please give me some advice."

The son knew everything, Xiao Luo nodded, and told his son what he knew while playing chess.The big maid next to Zhao Zhao was his arrangement. The secret guard who went in, the secret guard was just guessing about the matter between Xu Mu and Zhao Zhao, and there was no conclusive evidence, but Xiao Luo could guess it from Xu Mu's performance after Zhao Zhao left.

That Su Yue is indeed a smart person, knowing what kind of life is more suitable for her daughter, instead of blindly coveting the glory and wealth.

Xiao Nan frowned, "Royal Father, the Wu family is safe and sound, if she has the heart of revenge, she will definitely match Zhao Zhao and Xu Mu..."

"I know." Xiao Luo raised her head and looked back at her son, "After this incident, I am sure that the Wu family will not have any troubles again, and I tell you now, it is to give you a chance to be kind to Xu Mu, and you will fulfill his relationship with Zhaozhao regardless of the past. He will thank you for the marriage, and at the same time, he will also understand that our royal family knows everything, so it can be regarded as a warning to him, so that he will not be spoiled by pampering in the future and go astray."

He promoted the Lu family for his son's sake, but after so many years, seeing with his own eyes how much his son valued the Lu family, Xiao Luo had to warn his son, no matter how much he valued the Lu family, a king is a king, and a minister is a minister.

Xiao Nan was silent, and after a long time, he got up and said, "Father, don't worry, I understand."

Xiao Luo smiled with satisfaction.

Xiao Nan returned to the East Palace and asked someone to invite Xu Mu over.

"The prince is looking for me?" Two quarters of an hour later, Xu Mu came. He was still tall, but he had lost a lot of weight.

There were only the two of them in the study, and Xiao Nan didn't play around with him. He sat at the desk and looked at him coldly, "Zhao Zhao is fifteen, but uncle is not in a hurry. Would you rather she marry someone else than take risks? Tell me the truth about the danger of harming her, please let me help you achieve your wish?"

Xu Muru was struck by lightning and looked at him in disbelief.

Xiao Nan read the book with lowered eyes, his expression was cold, this was the first time he showed such a repulsive look to Xu Mu.

Xu Mu looked at him, his heart was full of ups and downs, Su Yue and his wife committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, although he was close to Xiao Nan, he knew that being with the king was like a tiger, and he dared not act emotionally, in case Su Yue got involved Even if he died, he couldn't make up for them. As Xiao Nan said, he even decided to give up.

But now Xiao Nan knows.

Xu Mu was terrified, he knelt down, "Prince, Zhaozhao and Guoer are sisters, please let them go for Guoer's sake, okay?"

Xiao Nan's face became even uglier, staring at him and asked sarcastically, "So in your heart, I'm the kind of heartless person who can punish even childhood playmates, wives, sisters, and uncle's sweetheart?"

Xu Mu finally thought about Wei'er, overjoyed, "You don't blame them?"

Xiao Nan directly threw the book in his hand towards him, and walked out with a livid face.

Yes, he didn't call Xu Mu uncle a long time ago, but just like he didn't call adoptive father father, he still regarded Xu Mu as his uncle in his heart, and he didn't call him uncle, mainly because the two were similar in age, and he couldn't say it out loud, but Fortunately for Xu Mu, he really treats him like a prince, and doesn't tell him such big things.

"Prince, don't go!" Xu Mu chased after him, wanting to ask for an answer.

Xiao Nan ignored it and walked faster and faster.

Xu Mu was so anxious that he suddenly thought of Xiao Nan's sarcasm just now, when Xiao Nan called him uncle.

This time, Xu Mu really understood, rushed forward with a few strides, hugged Xiao Nan's shoulders and turned around, rubbing his head with a smile: "Good Nan, it's my uncle who is narrow-minded, that's fine, since you don't object to my marriage Zhaozhao is your aunt, give me a day off tomorrow?"

"Get out!" Xiao Nan was dissatisfied with him touching his head, and shouted sullenly.

Xu Mu laughed loudly, hugged him hard, and before letting go, he bowed his head and whispered in his ear: "Thank you, my good nephew."

After finishing speaking, he ran out excitedly. He was going back to Tai'an now to propose marriage to the Wu family.

Xiao Nan walked to the door of the study, looked at his partner and uncle running away, and suddenly felt nostalgic for his childhood.

Some people can only be monarchs and ministers, and some people, he would rather not be a monarch, but also want them to be relatives.

In Tai'an Mansion, Wu's family, Zhao Zhaobai lay bored on the warm couch, not interested in doing anything.

Did Xu Mu really give up on that piece of dead wood?
She waited for him for another two months. If he didn't show up a year ago, she wouldn't wait any longer and pick another man to marry.

"Girl, girl, uncle is here!"

Her eldest maid suddenly ran over, excitedly speaking.

As soon as Zhaozhao's eyes lit up, he put down the book and was about to go down, halfway up his body, lay down again, and pretended to ask, "Which uncle?"

"Girl really knows how to joke, aren't you just an uncle?" the servant girl said with a smile.

Zhaozhao glared at her, she really missed her, and she was also curious to know what Xu Mu came here for this time. She put on her shoes and did not allow the maids to follow her. Step out from the hall.She saw him, and Xu Mu also saw her, and stood there in surprise, just staring at her blankly.

He hurried over but was caught by him, Zhao Zhao was ashamed and annoyed, turned his head and left.

Xu Mu came back to his senses, the person who was thinking about it day and night was right in front of him, who would let her run away, and strode after her.

"What are you doing in front of me? Get out of the way." Zhao Zhao stared angrily at the man standing in front of him.

"I'm here to propose marriage." Xu Mu was out of breath, not tired of chasing her, but tired of rushing here from the capital without stopping.

"It's useless to mention it, I won't marry you." Zhao Zhao was annoyed that he came too late and made her sad for too long, although he was secretly happy, he still choked on him.

Xu Mu was not in a hurry this time, and looked at her with a bit of self-satisfaction and smiled, "Your mother has already promised me, the parents ordered the matchmaker to say, Zhao Zhao, you have to marry if you don't marry."

"My mother, did she agree?" Zhao Zhao was too shocked, how long did it take Xu Mu to come, and her mother agreed so soon?Father hasn't come back from business yet, and mother really likes Xu Mu so much that she doesn't even pretend to discuss it with father?
Xu Mu nodded and looked at her with great satisfaction.

She didn't understand that this marriage was not easy to come by, and Xu Mu didn't want her to understand, he wanted her to be happy forever and be his Xu family's daughter-in-law with peace of mind.

With Xiao Nan's consent, Su Yue also agreed, and the marriage between Xu Mu and Zhao Zhao went very smoothly.Xu Mu had always had a house in the capital, but he was used to living in his brother-in-law's house. Now that he was about to get married, Xu Mu finally moved back to his own house and ordered someone to renovate it. In April of the next year, he married Zhao Zhao.

The daughter got married, Su Yue was accompanied by Wu Mingju, and went to a wilderness in the suburbs.

There stood a clothes tomb, and there was no writing on the tombstone.

Su Yue knelt in front of the tombstone, burning papers one by one, the breeze swept away the curling gray smoke, floating into the sky, Su Yue raised her head, her eyes followed the wisp of green smoke at the top, her red lips fluttered slightly.

Son, my daughter has grown up safely and married a good man who really likes her. May you have a spirit in the sky and bless your daughter with a smooth life. I also hope that you will be reincarnated as soon as possible, enjoy wealth and prosperity again, and live a long life.
