When the subject of marriage was mentioned, Huo Yirong became angry and said angrily to Huo Shenghao...

"Dad, my innocence has been ruined by the few bastards Huo Bingbing gave birth to. What reputation do I have now?"

"I don't care. She will be responsible for this matter to the end. Go to Prince Zhan's Mansion and tell her to tell her to ask the prince to marry me as his concubine."

Huo Shenghao: "!!!."

Facing his eldest daughter, he expressed a headache. Doesn't she know that Huo Bingbing is different today from five years ago? It was not that easy to handle anymore, so he frowned and said...

"Rong'er, what's your situation? You know in your heart that you are not worthy of Prince Zhan, but you can still ask the Prince to find a young talent in the court."

"Or isn't Zhao Qingming, the eldest young master of Shangshu Mansion, very nice? Hasn't he always been interested in you?"

Although Zhao Shangshu did not agree with this marriage and disliked Huo Yirong for being a bitch in Yihongyuan and being slept with by many men, as long as Zhao Qingming was willing to marry Huo Yirong, there was nothing he could do about it.

"No, I don't want it. I don't want anyone except the prince." Unexpectedly, his proposal was rejected by Huo Yirong, and she even complained to him. If he hadn't insisted on marrying Huo Bingbing to the prince, she would have been Princess Zhan. Even if I don't, I won't end up in this situation.

Anyway, all her misfortunes were caused by Huo Shenghao.

Huo Shenghao was so angry at Huo Yirong that he couldn't bear it any longer. He simply waved his hand and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, do whatever you like. I'm old and can't control you anymore."

"Just, can you save some face for the Taiwei Mansion and stop going out to seduce the old man all the time?"

"Don't forget, even if your innocence is ruined, you are still the eldest lady of the Taiwei Mansion. Save some face for yourself, the Taiwei Mansion, and your father, okay?"

Huo Yirong said that she didn't want to, but every time she went out, those people always pointed at her behind her back. Sometimes they said she was an old girl who couldn't get married, and sometimes they said she was a bitch who could be ridden by thousands of people. She I couldn't bear this insult and felt extremely depressed.

Later, by chance, she met Mr. Zhuang. Although Mr. Zhuang was older, he was generous to her and humorous. Being with him made her feel particularly happy and made her forget all the pain.

Therefore, she went out to eat with Mr. Zhuang every now and then.

Every time he comes back, Mr. Zhuang gives her many gifts.

Mr. Zhuang is a wealthy family in the capital. He has numerous properties and many shops. He has no worries about food and drink. The only drawback is that he has many wives and concubines at home. It is said that his aunt alone has more than 20 houses and several wives.

Perhaps it is for this reason that he is eloquent and especially good at pleasing women.

"You don't have to worry about my affairs." Huo Yirong said the next sentence and took the maid back to the room angrily.

Early the next morning.

While Huo Yirong was still sleeping, the maid came to report that Zhao Qingming was here, bringing with him a matchmaker and many gifts from the betrothal.

Huo Yirong was wearing white obscene clothes with disheveled hair. She sat up from the bed and yawned. She was sleeping soundly when someone woke her up. She looked very impatient and asked...

"Propose marriage?"

"Yes." The maid lowered her head and said respectfully: "Master Zhao said that today is the eldest lady's birthday, so he specially chose this meaningful day to propose marriage. I also wish the eldest lady a happy birthday."

"My birthday?" Huo Yirong was stunned for a moment. In the past, her mother prepared a birthday party for her every year. Now that she is dead, no one remembers her birthday.

If Zhao Qingming hadn't come here today, she would have forgotten even herself.

The maid nodded and said cautiously...

"Slave, count the days. When Madam was here, it was indeed this time of year to hold a birthday banquet for the eldest lady. It was really lively at that time. Madams and ladies from the upper class in the capital would come to the Taiwei Mansion to congratulate the eldest lady. And It’s not as deserted as it is now.”

Huo Yirong thought of the glorious days in the past and felt depressed. He raised his hands and said...

"Xiaohong, come here and change my clothes."

"Yes." The maid agreed, picked up a pink skirt and asked...

"Miss, today is your birthday, why don't you wear this new pink dress to look festive."

"It also means that starting from today, the eldest lady will have no more bad luck. From now on, she will live happily and smoothly every day."

Hearing this, Huo Yirong felt instantly happy and said, "Well, okay, just wear this pink skirt. From today on, all the unhappy things in the past are gone."

She changed her clothes, washed herself, and put on exquisite makeup before going to the lobby to see Zhao Qingming.

hall.

The delicate-looking Zhao Qingming, along with a book boy and a fat matchmaker, sat waiting with gifts in hand.

"Mr. Zhao, have tea." The butler enthusiastically served hot tea and snacks. The master had ordered that as long as Mr. Zhao comes, he will be well served. What's more, he is here to propose marriage today.

After all, the eldest lady's reputation is not good now. It's hard for someone to marry her. Of course, she can't let go of such a good opportunity, so she said...

"Mr. Zhao, please wait a moment. I have sent someone to invite the master and the eldest lady over."

Zhao Qingming picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, nodded, and said...

"Well, okay, don't worry."

He heard that Huo Yirong and Mr. Zhuang went to a restaurant for dinner yesterday. The two behaved intimately, which made him feel uncomfortable, so he took advantage of her birthday to bring the matchmaker to the Taiwei Mansion to propose marriage.

At this moment, Huo Shenghao hurriedly walked out and said with a smile on his face...

"Mr. Zhao, I heard that you came over today to propose marriage to Rong'er?"

He was worrying about Huo Yirong's life-long affairs, and when he heard that Zhao Qingming was willing to marry her, he couldn't help but wish for it.

Zhao Qingming was a little nervous and stood up quickly and said...

"Yes, I wonder if Lord Taiwei would be willing to betroth Rong'er to me?"

Huo Shenghao was an old fox. He didn't agree or disagree, he just said with a smile...

"Mr. Zhao, both Taiwei's Mansion and Shangshu Mansion are from official families. We are well-matched as we say. In addition, you and Rong'er grew up together as childhood sweethearts. The two of you are in love with each other. If I say that I don't agree, it will be very embarrassing. It’s so unkind, hehehe…”

The implication is that he agreed to get married.

Zhao Qingming was very happy and asked the matchmaker to exchange birth dates and engagement gifts between the two of them.

The matchmaker was very skilled at doing this kind of thing. It took less than half an hour to get it all done. When Huo Yirong came out, the matchmaker had already left.

Only Huo Shenghao was chatting with Zhao Qingming.

"Mr. Zhao, does your father know about your engagement to Rong'er?"

When Zhao Qingming heard this, an unnatural look flashed across his face. Huo Shenghao knew what was going on at a glance. This boy must have secretly brought the matchmaker to the Taiwei's mansion behind Zhao Shangshu's back to hire him.

However, the deal was done, he didn't care so much, Huo Yirong was still going to marry Huo Yirong no matter what.

"Sir Taiwei, don't worry. I will definitely convince my father to accept Rong'er. After all, a girl as good as Rong'er is hard to find even with a lantern. If I can marry her, that's me. blessing."

Facing Zhao Qingming's answer, Huo Shenghao was very satisfied and said...

"Well, that's very good. Anyway, I don't want Rong'er to suffer in the past. You must handle this matter well."

While they were talking, Huo Yirong walked in with her maid, twisting her waist, and said delicately...

"Dad, what are you telling Mr. Zhao? Why are you so happy?"

Huo Shenghao didn't hide anything, so he told her about the engagement just now, and said...

"Rong'er, now that you have a fiancé, you should go out less in the future and stay in the mansion to be married. This will save others from making irresponsible remarks and saying that our Taiwei mansion has no tutors."
