Wangfu little dumb wife

Chapter 489 The Horoscope Conflicts (2 More)
Because of living in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River all year round, Yunhuai can't adapt to the dry heat of the capital. Even after a few days, he still feels uncomfortable all over, so he went back to the house and lay down for a while.

When Xue Shangshu went to the office, the butler really asked someone to knock on Yunhuai's door.

Yun Huai sat up, rubbed his aching temples, went outside and opened the door.

It was a young servant who delivered the message, with a respectful attitude, "The grandfather is back, please come over to the uncle."

Yun Huai hummed softly, closed the door and followed the boy.

Xue Shangshu was sitting in the main courtyard drinking tea, when he saw Yunhuai, his expression was neither salty nor dull, so he asked him to sit.

Yun Huai glanced at Xue Shangshu, the corners of his lips drooped obviously.

Just like the day Yunhuai first came, even if the two of them didn't say anything, they could instantly lower the air pressure in the room.

The boy left after delivering the servants. There were no other servants in the main room, only Yunhuai and Xue Shangshu were left.

Xue Shangshu is the host after all, and if he doesn't wait to see Yunhuai, he will lose his grace in front of the guests, and speak first, "I just returned to the house, and the butler said that my uncle has something to look for, I don't know what is the matter?"

Yun Huai raised his eyes with a half-smile, "About Huan'er's marriage, I have already talked to His Royal Highness alone, the engagement has been cancelled, and the two of them will marry each other in the future, it will have nothing to do with it."

Xue Shangshu's old face darkened, "Why didn't anyone notify me in advance?"

He always thought that Yunhuai came to the capital purely to send Xue Yan off, but he never thought that the Yun family would play Yue Zu as a substitute!
Yun Huai smiled sarcastically, "When you decided to send Huan'er to be a concubine, didn't you inform our family?"

Xue Shangshu's chest kept rising and falling. He was not angry that Xue Yinhuan would miss something because he couldn't marry the eldest prince. Originally, he didn't intend to let Xue Yinhuan marry for the benefit. He just couldn't accept it. My in-laws are in my eyes.

Angry to the extreme, Xue Shangshu glared and said, "Yun Huai, don't forget that Huan'er's surname is Xue, not Yun!"

Yun Huai's tone remained unchanged, "No one cares about her all these years, what's the use of her surname Xue? It's just an empty name."

Before Xue Shangshu got angry, he continued: "The engagement with the eldest prince is cancelled. Regarding her future marriage, the Yun family has already found a good husband-in-law for her, so I don't need to bother Lord Shangshu to worry about it."

Xue Shangshu frowned, and after a while, he laughed, "Are you going to let her marry a poor boy with no family or background?"

"The Yun family really doesn't have the ability to find a royal relative to be her husband." Yun Huai raised her lips, "But I can guarantee that no matter who she marries, Huan'er will be a good lady, and she won't be judged by everyone. Overwhelming concubine."

Throughout the conversation, the main room was filled with a chilling smell of gunpowder.

Yun Huai is 19 years old this year, this is the first time for him to come to Xue's house, and naturally it is also the first time to meet Xue Shangshu, but the two have hated each other for 16 years.

Regarding Xue Yinhuan's marriage, the Yun family's attitude was very firm, they didn't want Xue Yinhuan to stay alone in the capital, and wanted to marry her to Jiangnan.

Xue Shangshu naturally disagreed, saying that Xue Yinhuan is the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion's concubine, with the surname Xue on her head, her marriage should be decided by Xue's parents, and outsiders should not be allowed to intervene.

When Yun Huai heard the word "outsider", he immediately sneered, "Miss Qionghua of your mansion didn't consider herself an outsider when she went to Yun's house, I just learned from her and made use of it."

Hearing him mention the past, Xue Shangshu was furious, "Shut up!"

The atmosphere in the room was deadlocked, and neither of them would give in.

At this moment, Xue Yinhuan's stepmother, Mrs. Xie, came in from the outside, and shouted at his father and father from a long distance away, "I heard that Yinhuan's marriage has changed, what's going on?"

While speaking, he quietly stared at Yunhuai.

No wonder her eyelids kept twitching in the past two days. Sure enough, nothing good happened when the Yun family came. Xue Yinhuan and the First Prince were both settled and came here to disrupt the situation. Is the Yun family born to have trouble with the Xue family?
Xue Shangshu was furious, when he heard Xie's voice, he reprimanded coldly, "It's none of your business here, get out!"

Xie was stunned, "Father, I am concerned about the girl's marriage."

Xue Shangshu raised his old eyes and looked over, unable to hide his anger.

Mrs. Xie was so frightened that she trembled a few times, quickly put away the chatterbox, and resigned angrily.

As soon as Mrs. Xie left, the atmosphere in the room became tense again.

After a long time, Yun Huai suggested, "Since Lord Shangshu refuses to give in, why not let Huaner decide for herself, whether to stay in the capital or go to Jiangnan, she has the final say."

Xue Shangshu snorted angrily, "Who knows what you have told her these past few days, let her make a decision, and she will not agree to follow you?"

Yun Huai smiled, "If Master Shangshu cared for her on weekdays, how could she follow me, my little uncle who hasn't seen each other for several years, instead of thinking about the relationship between you grandparents and grandchildren? Automatically choose to stay in the capital to honor you?"

Xue Shangshu choked, his old face turned blue.

……

A quarter of an hour later, Xue Yinhuan was invited to Xue Shang Academy.

Feeling that the atmosphere was not right when entering the room, Xue Yinhuan lowered his head, "Grandfather, little uncle, you came to me, what's the matter?"

Xue Shangshu looked at her for a moment, then asked, "Huan'er, if your engagement with His Highness is broken, would you like to stay in the capital, or would you like to follow your uncle to Jiangnan?"

When Xue Shangshu asked, Xue Yinhuan immediately guessed what they were talking about before he came.

To Xue Yinhuan, the question of whether to stay in the capital or go to Jiangnan was a bit sudden.

For a moment, she couldn't make up her mind, "Grandfather, can you allow me to think about it again?"

Xue Shangshu nodded and didn't force her, "Then you should think about it carefully and make a decision after thinking it through, so as not to regret it forever in the future."

Xue Yinhuan glanced at Yun Huai, seeing that the little uncle had no emotion on his face, and obviously agreed to give her time to think about it, so she bowed and left.

Xue Yan didn't know when he came with him. He was outside the courtyard. When he saw Xue Yinhuan coming out, he hurriedly asked, "How is Sister? Did grandfather and uncle make things difficult for you?"

Xue Yinhuan shook her head, looking at her younger brother, her eyes would involuntarily soften, "Ah Yan, do you want my sister to go to Jiangnan to accompany you?"

When Xue Yan heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, "Sister, is it really possible?"

Xue Yinhuan said: "If I marry to Jiangnan, I will be able to see you often in the future."

"Okay, okay!" Xue Yan was so excited that he almost jumped up, "If sister also goes to Jiangnan, with my little uncle around, no one will dare to bully you from now on."

Xue Yin smiled happily, but felt a little lonely in his heart.

Although, she herself couldn't explain why she had such a subtle feeling.

……

After returning to the palace, Zhao Xi went to see Emperor Guangxi and told him that Xue Yinhuan's maternal ancestral family intended to dissolve the engagement.

Emperor Guangxi almost thought he heard it wrong, "What, that girl's maternal ancestral home?"

Zhao Xi nodded and said yes.

It was the first time for Emperor Guangxi to encounter such a situation, "Isn't Xue Yinhuan the daughter of the Xue family? How could it be the turn of her grandparents' family to take the lead in the marriage?"

Zhao Xi didn't know how the two families negotiated, but at the teahouse, he clearly felt that Yun Huai was very resistant to him marrying Xue Yinhuan because of guilt. A single word can ignite the opponent's anger immediately.

"Xi'er, what do you think?" Emperor Guangxi asked.

Although he didn't like Xue Yinhuan very much, it was about the eldest son's marriage, so he had to ask a few more questions as a father.

"Twisted melons are not sweet." Zhao Xi said frankly: "Besides, I can't give her the position of first wife. Since the Yun family is determined not to let her enter the palace, then, let's dissolve the engagement. Anyway, it's just a verbal promise of marriage. Go through the process and cancel it at this time, the impact will not be too great."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Let the rumors out to the outside world, saying that Miss Xue and I are incompatible with each other, and we cannot form a good relationship."

……

It was just Zhao Xi's unilateral idea to make a fuss about using horoscopes, and he had to ask Xue's opinion for details. Looking for an opportunity, he went to the Minister's Mansion.

It happened that Xue Shangshu Xiumu heard that the eldest prince was coming, so he came out to greet him in person.

Xue Yan was playing cuju with a few boys in the front yard, and accidentally kicked the cuju flying. When he chased him out, one of them didn't stop and hit the eldest prince.

Xue Shangshu immediately darkened his face and reprimanded him, "You are too old to be reckless, why don't you hurry up and make amends to Your Highness!"

It was only then that Xue Yan learned that the handsome young man in front of him was his sister's fiancé, the eldest prince Zhao Xi.

He pursed his lips, knelt down on his knees, and kowtowed to Zhao Xi to make amends.

Thinking that this person actually asked his sister to be his concubine, Xue Yan's voice was somewhat perfunctory.

Xue Shangshu heard that he admitted his mistake and had a bad attitude, so he reprimanded him again.

That way of acting was too strict, not like Xue Yan's real grandfather at all.

Zhao Xi listened and squinted his eyes.
