Wangfu little dumb wife

Chapter 490 Can I know the reason behind it? (1 more)
After Xue Yan admitted his mistake, he remained silent, turning a deaf ear to his grandfather's reprimand.

He only came back once or twice a year, and his grandfather would never feel happy when he saw him, but if he didn't do well, he would immediately be scolded.

Seeing Xue Shangshu's face blushing, Zhao Xi stopped him and said, "The third young master is still a child, so there's nothing wrong with being naughty. Besides, children of this age are prone to rebellion. If you reprimand them too much, it may backfire. Since Xue Shangshu is a grandfather, why don't you treat him like that?" Have more patience?"

"What Your Highness said is true." Xue Shangshu responded to Zhao Xi's words, secretly slanting his eyes at Xue Yan, intending to tell him to leave quickly and not to embarrass himself here.

Xue Yan picked up his kick ball and walked slowly along the veranda.

Zhao Xi glanced at the young man's thin back, and quickly looked back.

Xue Shangshu asked: "His Royal Highness is here, I don't know why?"

"I talked with Yun Liulang alone in the teahouse that day about the dissolution of the engagement. Xue Shangshu must have known about it, so why not gather everyone together today and explain it clearly," said Zhao Xi.

When he heard that the engagement was about to be terminated, Xue Shangshu's expression was not very good, "On the day my family Erlang died, His Highness offered to let Huan'er into the palace. It has only been less than half a year now. Does Your Highness want to go back on his word?"

Hearing this, Zhao Xi suddenly stopped and turned his head, looking at Xue Shangshu, "Could it be that Xue Yun and his family didn't discuss it in advance?"

Xue Shangshu was dumb for a moment, then shook his head, "The old minister only learned that the Yun family was arbitrarily advocating to divorce the marriage after he came down to the government that day. Huan'er is from Xue's family, how could it be the grandparent's family's turn to intervene in the marriage, this must be spread, Wouldn't it make people laugh out loud?"

At this time, a sneer suddenly came from the other end of the veranda, "The dignified second-rank Shangshu, the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and the elder of the cabinet have ignored the grandchildren of their direct relatives for many years. Forget it, I also took the initiative to send my granddaughter to be a concubine, there is no need to spread this matter, I don’t know how many people’s teeth have been laughed out of the public, Xue Shangshu is not afraid, will my sister and brother-in-law feel uneasy if there are dead souls under the spring?"

The person who came was Yunhuai, dressed in white with a cloud pattern, which was particularly eye-catching against the backdrop of the garden full of flowers, stones and trees.

The muscles at the corners of Xue Shangshu's mouth trembled, and his brows frowned, "Yunhuai, in front of His Highness, please pay attention to your identity and wording!"

As soon as the two met, the air seemed to thunder and thunder invisibly. Zhao Xi, an outsider, could clearly feel the strong hostility towards each other. He said: "Yun Liulang is right, even if I entered the palace as a side concubine, but I ended up being a concubine after all. I didn't think carefully at the time and caused trouble for Miss Xue. The most important thing right now is to find a way to dissolve the engagement, so that Miss Xue can marry another family in the future. To be a dignified wife is what I would like to see."

After Zhao Xi had spoken, Xue Shangshu naturally couldn't refute anything, so he gave Yun Huai a sneaky look, and they walked towards the hall.

Yun Huai instructed the maid who was guarding the door, "Go and invite the Fourth Miss."

Not long after they were seated, Xue Yinhuan came, and Xue Yan was with her.

Xue Yan had just been reprimanded by his grandfather, so he didn't dare to show his face, and kept trying to hide behind Xue Yinhuan.

Seeing this, Yun Huai yelled softly, "What are you hiding for? A manly man, sit up straight, there is nothing to be ashamed of, come here."

Only then did Xue Yan move away, and walked towards the position next to his little uncle.

Yun Huai said again: "Look up, chest out!"

Xue Yan dared not refuse.

Xue Shangshu felt very humiliated when his grandson obeyed Yun Huai's words in front of the eldest prince. His eyes hurt a lot, and he said to Xue Yinhuan with a somber face, "Come and sit down, too."

Seeing Xue Yinhuan take his seat obediently, Xue Shangshu felt better in his heart, and then sent all the servants out, "Now that everyone is here, if you have anything to say, Your Highness, you might as well just say it."

Zhao Xi turned sideways and faced Xue Yinhuan, "Miss Xue, on the day your father's accident happened, I made an impulsive decision to let you enter the palace, which caused a bad influence on you. I didn't think carefully about this matter. I’m here to apologize to you.”

In fact, what he wanted to promise at the time was the position of concubine, but later his father and concubine mother disagreed no matter what, and he had no way to violate it, which led to the current situation.

Xue Yin welcomed Zhao Xi's gaze, and his mind was in a trance for a moment.

She is no longer an ignorant and ignorant little girl, and soon she wants to understand the reason that pulls her emotions these days.

Since when did I have feelings for him that I shouldn't have?

Xue Yinhuan thought, probably the seeds were planted on the night of Shangyuan Festival.

At that time, the streets and alleys of the entire capital were filled with all kinds of lanterns, and the streets and squares were very lively, except for the Shangshu Mansion, which was cold and lonely because it had just left the funeral.

He came at that time, covered in moonlight, with warm yellow lights and gentle brows, and told her that he would always take care of her.

Hearing such a promise at the most vulnerable time, no matter how hard and cold the heart is, it will inevitably be touched.

"It's okay." She moved the corners of her lips and slowly moved her gaze back.

Zhao Xidao: "If you have no objection, I will tell the outside world that we two are incompatible and cannot get married."

Xue Yinhuan lowered his eyebrows and nodded, "It's up to you to decide, I don't care."

"I'll add makeup to you when you get married."

Zhao Xi's voice continued, Xue Yinhuan only nodded without saying a word.

Xue Yan, who was sitting opposite Yun Huai, took advantage of the adults talking and called her in a low voice, "Sister, sister..."

When Xue Yinhuan heard this, he first glanced at his grandfather and uncle, seeing that they were not paying attention to him, then looked at Xue Yan, and asked with his mouth, "What are you doing?"

Xue Yan said: "You are clearly unhappy, why did you agree to terminate the engagement?"

Before Xue Yinhuan said anything, Yun Huai turned his head and asked Xue Yan, "What did you mutter about?"

Xue Yan immediately said with a sneer: "No, it's nothing."

Yun Huai glanced at his sitting posture, frowned lightly, "Straighten your back, hold your belly in!"

Xue Yan immediately sat upright, and dared not whisper to her sister again.

The little uncle reprimanded him no less than his grandfather on weekdays, but he knew that the little uncle was the one who loved and blamed him deeply, and the grandfather had more or less disgust and dislike for the two siblings.

This dislike stems from his aunt, Yun Mi.

……

Even if Xue Shangshu was angry again, the engagement was still broken in the end.

Everyone walked out of the hall one after another.

Mrs. Xie has been waiting outside and didn't dare to come in to disturb her. She finally saw her father-in-law. She hurried forward, bowed to several people and looked at Xue Shangshu, "Father, Huan'er's wedding..."

Xue Shangshu snorted coldly, "The Yun family dared to come to meddle blatantly, and you still ask me what to do? Go find Yun Liulang!"

Mrs. Xie had no choice but to turn her gaze to Yun Huai who was at the side.

Yun Huai ignored her, said something to Zhao Xi, and the two walked forward.

Mrs. Xie opened her mouth, still unwilling to give up, and wanted to ask Xue Yinhuan.

Xue Yinhuan said expressionlessly: "My grandparents' family will arrange my marriage, so I don't need my mother to worry about it."

Xie choked.

When Xue Yinhuan's sister and brother walked away, she said bitterly: "Father, this Yun family is too arrogant, are you just letting it go like this?"

Xue Shangshu was dissatisfied with Yun's family not for a day or two, but he didn't allow a young woman to point fingers, so when he heard Mrs. Xie say this, Xue Shangshu's writing was not good, "Do your own thing well, it's not your business. It's best not to ask too much, the head of the second house is not here, and all the sons and daughters have followed the grandparents' house, you, a foreign woman, might as well worry about yourself first."

Mrs. Xie was stunned. Xue Shangshu left for a long time and she still stood where she was, her heavily made-up face was pale.

-

Yunhuai and Zhao Xi were led by Xue Yinhuan to the Guanjing Pavilion.

The viewing pavilion in Shangshu Mansion is very large. Standing on the second floor and opening the windows, you can see four different scenery in four directions.

Yun Huai stood by the window and blew the cool breeze for a while. In the past 16 years, he has never had a day as happy as today.

Turning his head, he ordered Xue Yinhuan to bring two jars of wine, "Let me see if your craftsmanship has improved over the years."

Xue Yinhuan was a little embarrassed, she still had some wine, and it wasn't that she didn't want to give it to them to drink, but Zhao Xi obviously didn't like it in the palace that day, and she was afraid that he wouldn't be able to drink it.

Seeing her standing still, Yun Huai asked, "No more wine?"

"Yes, there is wine." Xue Yinhuan faltered and took a deep breath, "I'm afraid His Highness won't be used to it."

Zhao Xi immediately realized that Xue Yinhuan was thinking about his reaction when he brought him wine and snacks that day, thought about it, and explained: "I am now taking over the affairs of the yamen, unless it is necessary, I hardly drink alcohol on weekdays, for fear of making mistakes , I tasted the wine you sent that day, and it tasted mellow in my throat, and the craftsmanship is good."

Regardless of whether it was perfunctory or not, at least Xue Yinhuan was relieved, she nodded, "Then you wait a moment, I'll get the wine."

Xue Yan didn't want to leave any embarrassment, so he hurriedly followed Xue Yinhuan, "Sister, wait for me, I'll go too."

After the pair of siblings walked away, Zhao Xi stood up, walked to the window and stood side by side with Yun Huai, and asked, "How do you plan to arrange her?"

Yun Huai said with a smile: "There are outstanding people in the south of the Yangtze River, there is always someone who can catch her eyes."

Zhao Xi nodded, "I can feel that your insistence on breaking the engagement and not wanting her to be a concubine is only one reason, and more importantly, you don't want me to accept her because of guilt. Can I know the reason behind this?" reason?"
