Reborn Daughter Bad

Chapter 224 Visiting the Duke’s Mansion
It is the first time a son has grown up to make a request to his parents, which is still related to a major event in life, and it is impossible for parents to ignore it.

In the early morning of the second day, Huo Shoucheng started to move around, inquired about Zi Jian's activities and preferences overtly and secretly, and he knew it well.

Shen Muqiu was not idle either. He went out for the first time in so many years and went straight to the Duke's Mansion.

The Duke's wife was watering the flowers in the yard, when she heard the news of a distinguished guest, she wiped her hands quickly, changed her clothes, and then went to the main hall to meet people.

This is not the first time she saw Shen Muqiu, but it was the first time she saw Shen Muqiu after recovering from illness.

After 13 years, the years seem to have left no traces on her face, her skin is still fair and tender, her eyes are bright, her lips are red and her teeth are white.

If I have to say a difference, it probably has the mature charm of a woman, more dignified and beautiful than when I was young.

"Princess Mu, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and you are still as beautiful and charming as before." Mrs. Guo sincerely admired: "It's not like those of us who work day and night and become old in a blink of an eye."

Shen Muqiu pursed his lips and smiled: "Mrs. Guo Gong is absurd, but Mu Qiu is lucky to marry a good husband, so she has less troubles. But as she gets older, she is no longer as delicate as she was back then."

Mrs. Duke invited her to sit down, and sighed softly: "It's true, woman, if you have a good husband, you will naturally have fewer troubles and grow old slower. Your General Huo treats you very well." That's great, it doesn't look like our master... Hey, don't mention it!"

"Princess Mu, please use tea." The little girl in Tsing Yi offered a tea bowl and stepped aside respectfully.

Shen Muqiu took the tea bowl, skimmed off the flotsam on the tea, and said with a smile: "In order to marry my wife, my lord went south again and again, and even bought a set next to my wife's natal house. The mansion has been lived in for a few months, and for this reason, the old Duke often punished him. This matter has become a good story in Beijing, isn’t the Duke treating his wife very well?"

She purposely opened the conversation because she knew that Mrs. Guo was strong and direct in her feelings.Even after so many years in this circle of wives and concubines, he still has a grudge against the women in the back house of the Duke.

Sure enough, the Duke's wife snorted softly, "He is good to me, and he is not bad to others. Look at the women in the room, no one is worry-free, and it makes people feel bad to look at them every day."

Shen Muqiu smiled without saying a word, flicked the floating powder in the tea bowl again and again, and took a sip of the clear tea lightly.

Mrs. Guogong has been straightforward since she was a child, and she can't hide things in her heart.Shen Muqiu didn't mention the business, but she couldn't help it, and said bluntly: "Master Mu came to our mansion today, isn't it just to chat about family matters?"

Last night, she and her husband discussed about their daughter's marriage. She thought that Huo Tianbei and Zi Jian were both good, but her daughter obviously had her heart on Huo Tianbei. In matters of marriage, she was more inclined to support her daughter's choice.

There is a big difference between having an emotional foundation and not having an emotional foundation.Husband's love is undoubtedly more important than family background.

And the conversation with Shen Muqiu just now made her look forward to Huo Tianbei even more.

Huo Shoucheng has been both civil and military since he was a child. He is majestic and majestic, but also gentle and polite.Needless to say, Shen Muqiu, she is the only daughter of the eldest princess. She was brought up by the eldest princess and taught by herself. When she was young, she was quite famous in the capital, and she was chased by all the sons and daughters.

I heard that the old Duke of the country also liked her very much.However, Shen Muqiu was engaged to Huo Shoucheng early on, and the Duke, who was still the eldest son at that time, pursued her relentlessly, which resulted in two marriages respectively.

It is undeniable that both Huo Shoucheng and Shen Muqiu are the best.Their children will not be so bad if they think about it.It can be seen from hearing Xu Yanxi mention Huo Tianxin frequently after returning from school.

The most important thing is that no matter whether it is the deceased General Huo or Huo Shoucheng, who is now in the limelight, they are all devoted to their first wife and have never taken the initiative to take a concubine.

Old General Huo's first concubine was taken by Mrs. Huo because she had nothing to do.After becoming a great general step by step, due to the instability of the government, the few concubines he had to accept had nothing to do. Only the old lady gave birth to a son and a daughter, each of whom had achieved success.

She had heard about Huo Shoucheng accepting Shen Ruoqiu as his concubine. Apart from sighing secretly that Shen Muqiu was too soft-hearted, she also understood that Huo Shoucheng had no other choice at that time.

With elders leading by example, Huo Tianbei should also be a dedicated person.Of course, Mrs. Guo is not willing to part with her only biological daughter who weeps in the back house every day, guarding her empty boudoir alone.Rather than marrying Zi Jian, the fifth prince who may be called the future emperor, she hopes that her daughter can be relaxed and happy.

Unfortunately, men and women think differently after all.The Duke's consideration is based on the family.

The Duke of the state is an idle job, with only status and no real power. Although he can be hereditary, he will eventually become weaker and weaker if he loses his status. Who knows what will happen in two or three generations?
If the daughter can marry the prince who has the opportunity to be in power in the future, it will definitely be of great help to the brothers.Even if Zi Jian cannot be called the heir to the throne, at least he will be a prince.No matter how bad it is, he is also the king of the county, in charge of a side of water and soil.

Only with real power can we help our natal family.Such a good opportunity, how could the Lord be willing to give up.

After discussing all night, the couple who had never had a quarrel broke up.Mrs. Duke was annoyed that her husband didn't consider her daughter, so she didn't say a word to him until this morning.

In fact, she also knew in her heart that her daughter's marriage was not up to her alone.After all, the Duke is the head of the family in the Duke's Mansion, and he can let her do small things on weekdays, but when it comes to big things, his opinion is the most important.

After thinking hard for a long time, I decided to take a look at the general's mansion first.If Huo Tianbei cared enough about his daughter, and if the General's Mansion showed enough sincerity in asking Xu Yanxi to marry him, she would not mind cooperating with the other party to seek her daughter's lifetime happiness.

Such a straightforward question seemed a little impatient, but it seemed that he was rushing to marry his daughter off.

But he didn't expect that it was because of his impatience that he got Shen Muqiu's favor.

As a mother, nothing is more important than the happiness of your children.Looking at the meaning of Mrs. Guogong, it should be that she knows that the two children are in love with each other and expressed her support.

In this way, it will be much easier to handle.
