Heir and wife

Chapter 148

He is not afraid of senior brothers, after all, apart from the relationship between senior and senior brothers, they are still brothers of the same blood.Although the senior brother has never admitted it, there is no slight resemblance in appearance.But with more contact, from some unintentional small actions, he seemed to see the shadow of the old prince.Among the outstanding brothers of his father back then, the one he admired the most was the eldest brother the crown prince.Now even if he wants the throne, he will give it up without hesitation, after all, it should belong to the elder brother.And he was able to become emperor with peace of mind after expelling his nephew, Emperor Anwen, because he had the approval of his senior brother.

But the senior brother has no attachment to the throne, and he can only continue to take care of this mess in the world for a long time.Although he is neither a prince nor an emperor, his brother's instinct to protect his weaknesses is stronger than his.Take Yuan Ke as an example, he is the master who obviously teases the most ruthlessly.But he is him, if others dare to touch Yuan Ke with a finger, he will definitely chase and kill that person to the ends of the earth.

Counting carefully, in the past few years, while his senior brother was wandering outside, he often used the excuse of tempering his mind to send Yuan Ke out on missions.Although he didn't have much malice in himself, he admitted that there was a trace of his own bad taste in it.Now the senior brother came back unexpectedly, but he was really clever.

"Fortunately, I gave that Tianshan snow lotus back then."

In the empty hall, Emperor Cheng Yuan rejoiced as if he was alive after a catastrophe.The meaning of what the little nephew said just now is very obvious, because he sent medicine to save the life of Luo's girl, he will not sue the senior brother.

Tianshan snow lotus is precious, but he has seen it before, but it is just a big white flower that has long wilted.He was not ill and had no disaster, so he didn't expect that the filial piety of his biological mother back then not only allowed him to escape, but also gained the sincere gratitude of his nephew.Although he is grateful that he does not lack a single person, but there is only one little apprentice in his sect, and he still likes this junior very much after teasing.

"I was too busy thinking about my brother's business, but I actually forgot about the business."

Slapping his head down, Emperor Chengyuan looked at the empty main hall, and relaxed his lips into a playful smile again.Seeing the army marching out, the Xu family boy couldn't bear it for a moment.Just at this moment, Xu Shangshu, who might not be sure of his next court, was already sitting in the main hall of Luo Mansion, and personally mentioned the two marriages to his daughter and son-in-law.

What Emperor Cheng Yuan expected was right, the Xu family didn't think of such urgency at all, after all Jiaojiao is not yet ready, there is plenty of time this year and next, when Xingzhi returns from the northwest, it will not be too late to discuss marriage.

What happened yesterday shocked Xu Xingzhi a lot. He wasn't that afraid of Yuan Ke alone, but the way Jiaojiao's cousin looked at Yuan Ke obviously had something different in it.He has liked a girl for many years, and he understands that that is what he has been pursuing.

He couldn't wait any longer, so as soon as he returned to the mansion and reported his military service, he solemnly mentioned the marriage.After all, he was his own grandson, the old lady couldn't help but agree first, and it was inconvenient for others to refute.Thinking about Zuojiao Jiaojiao is his granddaughter, and Kong is not that strict woman, he has always regarded her as his own daughter, and he can't be wronged even if she gets married.

So early this morning, when Xu Shangshu returned home, the whole family gathered together and came to visit.Hearing that the in-laws came to the door, Rong hurriedly took her children and grandchildren to greet them in person. Now the two families are sitting in the main hall, talking about things over the tea brought by the maid.

"Su Niang is still worried about your eldest brother and sister-in-law. They will never let Jiaojiao suffer when they wrong anyone."

The old lady of the Xu family persuaded her daughter, feeling quite puzzled, although Su Niang had her own ideas since she was a child, she is not a person who does not show affection.A match made in heaven, why come to her and push back.

Xu bit her lips tightly, and glanced out of the yard from the corner of her eye.In the garden, Jiaojiao and Mengyao were admiring the flowers and feeding the fish, they didn't know what to say, they quarreled and laughed.Even if you can't see it clearly from a distance, you can still imagine that those big eyes on her face must be vivid at this moment.

Such an innocent daughter should be happy and smooth all her life, why did she have to suffer this incident?

Seeing her hesitation, Kong became anxious: "My sister is afraid that I will treat Jiaojiao harshly. Don't you know me all these years?"

"Of course not?"

"That's why you don't like Xingzhi? I also know that child is a bit soft-tempered, and he is worse than rowing a boat..."

Mrs. Xu hurriedly interrupted her: "Sister-in-law, please don't say that. There are advantages and disadvantages. Xingzhi and Xingzhou are both good. It's just..."

"Su Niang, it's inconvenient to hide the matter now, the in-laws are not outsiders after all."

Standing up on crutches, Mrs. Rong walked up to Mrs. Xu and said kindly, her face full of comfort.

After deliberating over and over again, Mrs. Xu said slowly: "It is because Xingzhi is a good boy that I am so hesitant. Parents, elder brother, and sister-in-law, you all know that something happened to me when I was pregnant with Jiaojiao. The arrow shot from my belly Going straight through, not only almost killed me, Jiaojiao was even more seriously injured. Her lower abdomen was almost pierced. Although Master Hongzhen took great care to save her life, the root cause of the disease has never been removed. She..."

Closing her eyes, Xu quickly said, "She may not be able to conceive for the rest of her life."

"how is this possible!"

Xu Xingzhi bounced up expectantly, his face full of disbelief.How could such a lively cousin be the "Miss Jiao" that my aunt said had fallen to the root of the disease and was weak in the wind?

Before he finished speaking, another voice came from the door.After arguing with my cousin for a long time, when I was thirsty, I planned to sneak into the main room to drink a glass of water, but I never expected to hear these words just as I approached the door.

Luo Weitong clutched his stomach, his expression full of disbelief: "Mother, is this true?"
