Mrs. Xue was sitting in the hall, looking at Xue Qiu, who was already a Marquis, she was very happy, but she was also a little regretful, that is, Xue Qiu has not been engaged yet, so she decided to ask Qiu'er what she really thinks, "Qiu'er, Your sister's marriage is coming soon. What are you going to do about your marriage?"

Knowing that his mother would still ask this question, Xue Qiu was silent for a while and said in a low voice, "I want to marry her!"

Mrs. Xue was not angry at all. She knew the answer would be like this. She looked at Xue Qiu and said calmly: "But what will those people outside say about you? What about the Xue family? You are now the Marquis of Zhennan granted by the emperor, What do you want the emperor to think of you?"

Xue Qiu looked at Mrs. Xue, without thinking of compromising and retreating, and said: "I really don't care, what do others think of me? Maybe I feel sorry for the Xue family, but mother——I don't want to let myself regret it for the rest of my life!"

Mrs. Xue was a little tired, leaned her head on her left hand, and sighed: "Do you still remember that water girl?"

Xue Qiu nodded, he naturally remembered the bold girl Shui Linglong, but he didn't know what his mother said about her,

"She is Princess Linglong, the only daughter of King Beijing. Mother can tell that she likes you very much. Although her reputation is not very good outside, mother likes her very much. She is very good. After you left, in the past three years she She often comes to our house, she is already nineteen, but she is not married yet, she must be waiting for you." Speaking of Shui Linglong, Mrs. Xue is really satisfied, if only she could be her daughter-in-law.

Xue Qiu frowned. At first he thought that Shui Linglong was really a strange woman, but he didn't expect that after three years, she was still unmarried, and she was really waiting for me?Xue Qiu shook his head, with clear eyes, and said, "Mother, you should understand me! This may be the only time my son didn't listen to you."

Mrs. Xue knew that she couldn't persuade Xue Qiu, so she just asked: "Then how are you going to marry her? Why marry her? With your status as a righteous brother?"

Xue Qiu didn't know what to do, so he bowed his head in silence and said after a long time: "I'll go and ask the emperor to marry us!"

Mrs. Xue sat up straight suddenly, with sharp eyes, she asked sternly: "Could it be that you, the Marquis of Zhennan, don't want it anymore? How could the emperor agree? Do you want to fight against the scholars of the world?"

This series of questions didn't deter Xue Qiu, but he didn't want his mother to be angry and hurt her body. She lowered her eyes and made it difficult for people to see her expression clearly, so she asked softly, "Mother, do you think your son will care about this Marquis of Zhennan? Son I only care about you, my son took the imperial examination for his sister, and he sent troops to leave Beijing because he listened to your mother and wanted to let go of this relationship."

Xue Qiu seemed to be muttering to himself, with his head lowered, his voice was very soft and ethereal, as if it came from afar, making it hard to hear clearly, "I never thought about what I want, and I don't know what I want. Why do I exist in this world? But when I saw her for the first time, I realized that maybe my existence was for her. You said we were impossible, I thought about escaping, I thought about listening to your words and giving up, but I really can't do it"

These words were like a knife piercing into Mrs. Xue's heart, and her heart felt very painful, very painful.

Mrs. Xue did not speak, and looked at Xue Qiu. She never knew what Xue Qiu thought in his heart. She never thought that Xue Qiu did all this for her and Qin'er. She never asked Xue Qiu if he would do it all.

"Mother! Let brother marry sister Lin!" Xue Baoqin and Lihua ran in with rain and said.

Xue Baoqin had been standing outside the door, listening to the conversation inside, and when she heard the back, she couldn't help crying, and ran in to say this.

Xue Qiu looked up at Xue Baoqin, and smiled with a twist of his mouth.

Seeing her brother's bright smile, Xue Baoqin felt sour, and said to Mrs. Xue: "Mother, brother knows what he is doing. If even we are against it, who else can brother rely on?"

Mrs. Xue didn't speak, but just looked at the bright smile on Xue Qiu's face.

"Mother, even if my elder brother doesn't become the Marquis of Zhennan or an official, what does that matter? At worst, we go back to Jinling!" Xue Baoqin continued seeing her mother's resolute gaze while not speaking.

Mrs. Xue's expression remained unchanged, she just asked, "Qiu'er, have you really decided?"

Xue Qiu looked at Mrs. Xue, feeling guilty in his heart, but still suppressed the guilt, nodded and said, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, mother!"

"Don't blame you! This is fate! Even if I agree, you may not be together, you have to know this." Mrs. Xue waved her hand lightly, but she was thinking of Xue Qiu and Lin Daiyu in her heart. Worried about things, is it really possible to be together?

Xue Qiu nodded, he knew very well how difficult the road ahead was, but he still had to go on, "Mother, this son knows!"

Mrs. Xue didn't speak any more, but she was smiling wryly in her heart, knowing why she still did that?

They were silent and didn't speak for a while. They all knew in their hearts how difficult this road was.

Mrs. Xue thought for a while, and then said softly: "Go to Jia's mansion tomorrow! Look at these few rains, it seems that her illness will recur."

Xue Qiu's heart warmed up. He knew that his mother took Daiyu's matter to heart because of his own reasons, and his voice trembled, "Thank you, mother!"

Mrs. Xue walked up to Xue Qiu, reached out and stroked Xue Qiu's head, and said softly, "Thank you for what? You are my son, and you must know that everything I do is for your own good!"

"I know, I've always known!" Xue Qiu said quickly, he knew in his heart that his mother was doing it for his own good, and didn't want to hurt himself, so he wanted to let go, and he disagreed with this matter.

Xue Baoqin looked at the two of them and said, "Brother, you will be with Sister Lin!"

"Yes, I will!" Xue Qiu nodded, he believed that he would be with Daiyu, definitely.

Mrs. Xue looked at her two children with a smile on her face, and said: "Qin'er's marriage is coming soon, and your uncle's family will soon come to the capital. In the blink of an eye, you will all grow up, and I will grow old too!"

Xue Baoqin came to Mrs. Xue's side in a few steps, hugged Mrs. Xue's right arm with both hands, and said with a smile: "Where, why is mother old? Mother is still waiting to hold her grandson and watch her brother's child get married and start a business."

Mrs. Xue scratched Xue Baoqin's nose and said with a smile: "Don't you want to hug your grandson?"

"Mother!" Xue Baoqin stomped her feet, lowered her head, and squirmed angrily.

Listening to his sister's words, Xue Qiu couldn't help wondering if he and Daiyu would have children of their own?Our two children?

Thinking of this, a happy smile appeared on Xue Qiu's face.

Turning his head and looking at the dark sky outside the door, the clouds were dense, the wind was blowing all the time, and the branches were rustling, but Xue Qiu's heart sank, the sky was about to change, and it might rain again.
