The son-in-law is too shy

The emperor kept his promise, and Emperor Wen drafted the imperial edict after returning from Fengyi Palace, and ordered his close servant Jiang Yun to go to Xu Mansion to call for it as soon as the morning passed.

Naturally, Jiang Yun didn't dare to be negligent, so he came to Xu's house with people and the imperial decree the next morning.

Xu Huai'an was in the house, writing on the rice paper, and soon a bamboo forest appeared vividly on the paper.

But at this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, Xu Huai'an raised his head, and was surprised to see Hongtao standing there panting.

"Sister Tao'er, what happened?"

Xu Huai'an looked at her and asked, "Why is there such a hurry?"

"It's not good, Second Young Master."

Hongtao breathed a sigh of relief, but said hastily: "Someone is coming from the palace, and I want you to receive the imperial edict!"

Hearing this, Xu Huai'an was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect to come so soon.

"Second Young Master, what's the matter with you? Are you alright?" Seeing Xu Huai'an frozen in place, Hong Tao couldn't help asking worriedly, thinking he was afraid of something.

Xu Huai'an regained his senses, bent his lips and smiled lightly: "Sister Tao'er, don't worry, let me go and take a look."

Xu Huai'an put down the pen and paper, straightened his clothes and went out, Heart quickly followed.

When the two came to the front hall, they found that almost everyone in the Xu family had appeared in the front hall, and they saw subtle changes in their expressions.

Especially Xu Yitang, whose face was livid, could see that he was very angry at the moment.

Looking at Shen Mengyun again, he looked at Xu Huai'an worriedly, his eyes full of inquiry.

Xu Huai'an nodded slightly at her, then looked at the people led by Jiang Yun approaching and bowed his hands, "The grassroots Xu Huai'an has seen the father-in-law."

Seeing such a handsome young man, Jiang Yun frowned, no wonder the heart-wrenching Li Qiushuang fell in love with him, his appearance alone was not bad.

"Second son, hurry up and give up the courtesy, don't hurt the old slave." Jiang Yun stepped forward to help him up with a smile, then looked at Xu Yitang and said: "Master Xiangguo really gave birth to a good son."

Xu Yitang asked with a straight face, "I wonder what Eunuch Jiang is going to announce?"

Jiang Yun knew about the relationship between the father and son from the crown prince a long time ago, and he smiled without changing his expression: "Naturally, it's a good thing, it's a great thing, the old slave will congratulate Lord Xiangguo and the second son first."

Xu Yitang frowned, but when he was about to speak, Jiang Yun took the imperial edict from the side, and said loudly: "Xu Huaian accepts the edict!"

Hearing this, Xu Huai'an and everyone in the Xu family immediately knelt down and bowed their heads, waiting for Jiang Yun's reading.

"By God's blessing, my emperor's edict said that today there is Xu Huai'an, the second son of the Xu family, who is both talented and beautiful, gentle and polite, and understands the general sense of propriety. He has not met Princess Ningyang for a long time. Today, I have issued a sacred metaphor and bestowed marriage to Princess Ningyang." , I hope you will not forget your original aspirations, and go forward and back with Princess Ningyang to support each other, this is yours!"

"Second Young Master, accept the order." Jiang Yun looked at Xu Huai'an and smiled.

Xu Huaian was about to speak, but Xu Yitang suddenly shouted.

"and many more!"

Everyone couldn't help looking at the head of the Xu family, Jiang Yun looked at Xu Yitang and said with a smile: "Master Xiangguo, what else do you want to ask?"

Xu Yitang actually got up, cupped his hands at Jiang Yun and said: "Please go back and tell the emperor, the old minister accepts the emperor's wishes, but this marriage, please allow the old minister to refuse, the youngest son is stubborn, I am afraid he is not worthy of Princess Ningyang, please take it back."

Hearing this, Xu Huai'an gave a wry smile in his heart, but there was no emotion on his face.

Jiang Yun was not in a hurry, he just smiled and said, "Master Xiangguo, is he trying to resist the order?"

Xu Yitang's face froze, his tone became weaker by three points: "No, it's just that the engagement is really abrupt, I hope Eunuch will tell the emperor, please think twice!"

Jiang Yun heard the words and said with a smile: "The emperor guessed that you would refuse, no, I asked the old slave to give you a message, the emperor said, let's not meddle in the children's affairs, as long as they are two It's fine if Qing Xiangyue agrees, don't you think so? Second Young Master?"

Jiang Yun spoke beautifully, one sentence blocked Xu Yitang's next words, and left the decision to Xu Huai'an.

Xu Huaian knew that she had no right to refuse, and Li Qiushuang had her most fatal weakness.

She has no choice, even if she will suffer Xu Yitang's cold reception in the future.

She kowtowed heavily to Jiang Yun, her voice clear to everyone's ears.

"Grassman, thank you for accepting the decree!"

Jiang Yun smiled kindly, Xu Yitang's complexion changed drastically, and Shen Mengyun's complexion was pale.

Xu Huaian knew that this time, she had no way out.

Sending Jiang Yun away, Xu Yitang pointed at Xu Huai'an who was still kneeling on the ground and yelled, without any scholarly air.

"You bastard, you really turned against you?! How can I, Xu Yitang, have such a vain son like you! If you don't teach you a good lesson today, I don't think you know the heights of heaven and earth! Come on! Take the family law Come!"

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed drastically.

Xu Huaiyuan was in a hurry. In the past, Xu Yitang was so angry with Xu Huaian that he would kneel down at the ancestral hall. When did he beat Xu Huaian?Xu Huaian's body is weak, if Xu Yitang really makes a move.Still angry, he had to beat Xu Huai'an to death.

He hastily stepped forward and stopped Xu Yitang: "Father, absolutely not!"

"Why are you stopping me, today I will kill this traitor!" Xu Yitang was furious.

"Father, no, the third brother is now appointed by the emperor, if father kills and injures the third brother, how can we explain to the emperor? When the emperor gets angry, we can't afford it." Xu Huaiyuan said hastily .

Immediately he said to Xu Huai'an: "What are you still doing here, why don't you go back and clean up."

Xu Huai'an kowtowed heavily to Xu Yitang when he heard the words, got up, did not look at anyone, and left silently.

After Xu Huai'an left, Xu Huaiyuan quickly supported Xu Yitang to sit down, and said kindly: "Father, don't be angry, don't get angry, the third brother doesn't mean it, this marriage appointed by the emperor, we have to marry."

Xu Yitang breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "No, I have to go to the palace to see the emperor!"

"Father!" Seeing Xu Yitang being so stubborn, Xu Huaiyuan couldn't help but raise his voice a bit: "Why are you so stubborn, if you offend Shengyan, what will happen to our Xu family?!"

Hearing this, Xu Yitang lowered his eyes and sighed deeply: "This is fate."

"Father?" Xu Huaiyuan looked at Xu Yitang suspiciously.

"That's all." At this moment Xu Yitang seemed to have aged a lot.

"Let him go."

Xu Huai'an returned to his room, looked at the imperial decree in his hand and couldn't help laughing bitterly.

Shen Mengyun saw this scene when she came, and she was a little distressed, so she knocked on the door lightly.

Xu Huai'an came back to his senses, turned his head to see Shen Mengyun, put down the edict and said, "Mother, why are you here?"

"Come and see you." Shen Mengyun closed the door and sat in front of Xu Huai'an.

"Mother is worried." Xu Huai'an narrowed his eyes and said.

Shen Mengyun shook her head: "Huai'an, tell mother, why did you accept this imperial decree, you forgot about you..."

"My identity?" Xu Huaian looked at Shen Mengyun, she smiled wryly and shook her head, "Mother, I haven't forgotten."

"Then you..." Shen Mengyun looked at Xu Huai'an in astonishment.

"Princess...the princess knows my true identity." Xu Huai'an said sadly.

"What?!" Shen Mengyun was shocked: "Then why does she still want you?"

"Because she doesn't want to get married." Xu Huaian said: "So she found me, we are only in a contractual relationship, she will not tell anyone my identity, on the contrary, she will help me cover up, and will help me after two years leave."

"But, why did she..." Shen Mengyun was still puzzled: "Why didn't she really find someone to marry?"

Xu Huaian shook his head: "I don't know, but mother, I have no choice. If I refuse, then my identity will bring disaster to our family!"

Shen Mengyun's face turned pale, and after a while he said: "Mother is afraid, mother is afraid..."

"Mother." Xu Huai'an held Shen Mengyun's hand, his eyes were gentle but reassuring.

"Don't worry, I believe in the princess, and I will not do anything that breaks my promise."

Hearing what Xu Huai'an said, Shen Mengyun could only sigh deeply, and then took out a black jade pendant from his bosom, engraved with the word Langxuan.

"This jade pendant has been with mother for many years. Mother originally planned to make you a dowry after you regained your identity, but now who wants to... Hey, let's not talk about this, you put this jade pendant away, and you should ask for safety."

Shen Mengyun handed the jade pendant to Xu Huai'an and told him to hold it tightly, then added: "It must be put away, don't lose it."

Xu Huai'an was a little puzzled, but seeing Shen Mengyun's solemn expression, he had no choice but to swallow the question, nodded obediently and said: "Don't worry, mother, I will definitely keep it safe."

Hearing this, a little smile appeared on Shen Mengyun's face, and then he said: "Mother is sorry for you, Huai'an, do you blame mother?"

Xu Huai'an shook his head when he heard the words: "I don't blame you, I know you must have difficulties."

"Hey." Shen Mengyun sighed, and then said: "Don't blame your father, you also know that your father doesn't like you having an affair with the court, he blames you for scolding you, mother knows you are wronged, but you must Don't blame him for hating him, okay?"

Xu Huaian felt a little sad, he knew that Xu Yitang treated Shen Mengyun well, and also knew that Shen Mengyun hurt his body when she gave birth to her, that's why his father was dissatisfied with her, and she knew it too.

"Mother, don't worry, I don't blame father." Xu Huai'an said calmly.

"That's good, that's good." Shen Mengyun murmured.

Sending Shen Mengyun away, Xu Huai'an rubbed his eyebrows wearily.

Up to now, we can only take one step at a time.

The fact that the emperor bestowed marriage to the second son of the Xu family spread like wildfire, which reminded many people that there was another second son in the Xu family.

Emperor Wen ordered Si Tianjian to calculate the auspicious day, and the two married in the middle of May.

Qiu Guogong's mansion.

Qiu Yuqing stared at the boy who was kneeling on the ground: "Are you telling the truth?! That sick son-in-law is going to become a son-in-law?!"

The boy said tremblingly: "Miss Hui, it is true, it has already spread in the capital."

Qiu Yuqing stomped her feet angrily: "What a sick child! He married someone else! No, I have to ask him to understand!"

With that said, he was about to walk outside the mansion.

"Qing'er, where are you going?!" When Qiu Changqing, the eldest son of Qiu's family, walked in, he saw Qiu Yuqing walking out aggressively.

"Go and find out about the sick man!" Qiu Yuqing said bluntly.

Qiu Changqing frowned: "Nonsense, why are you looking for him?"

Qiu Yuqing was dissatisfied: "Ask him if he wants to marry the princess whose husband died!"

After saying that, he wanted to bypass Qiu Changqing and go out.

Qiu Changqing frowned even more, he stopped Qiu Yuqing.

"You are not allowed to go!"

Qiu Yuqing stared at Qiu Changqing and said, "Brother, why are you stopping me!"

"Do you know who is the woman in white that you met with Xu Huai'an on the boat that day?" Qiu Changqing didn't answer, but asked instead.

"Brother, why do you ask this? Who is she and what does it matter to me? You are just a doctor." Qiu Yuqing didn't care.

Qiu Changqing secretly thought that Qiu Yuqing is really a careless master, and his tone was cold: "That woman is the current Third Highness, Princess Ningyang, who has a marriage contract with Xu Huai'an!"

Qiu Yuqing's face turned pale instantly.
