"Get out! Get out of here!"
"Get out!"
Clang...
A large vase fell and shattered onto the ground.
Several maids and old women were walking out of Shouning Hall in pain, holding the broken pieces of a vase.
A maid in a green skirt had her hand cut by a fragment, and another maid in a gray dress quickly took a handkerchief to bandage it for her.
The maid who was cut was bandaged and just looked up, she saw Shen Yuyao and her group walking towards the door of Shouning Hall.
The maid was surprised and was about to shout, but Shen Yuyao covered her mouth.
Shen Yuyao tiptoed to the door of Shouning Hall and saw her mother Zhang sitting on a soft chair, holding her headband, with her eyes closed, looking in great pain.
Next to her, a woman in red military uniform, who was only a few years older than her, was smashing the bottles and jars of Shouyongtang.
Shen Yuyao wanted to give her parents a surprise, so she didn't let the doorman know. Her mother didn't know that her eldest daughter, whom she had been thinking about so much, was standing at the door of Shouning Hall at this moment.
Shen Yuyao's father, Duke Shen Ao, stood with his back to the door, his hands behind his back, shaking his head like a rattle.
Shen Ao only had one wife, Zhang, and all his children were born to her. His backyard had always been peaceful, but now, in this situation, he really didn't know how to deal with it.
Just out of sight, out of mind!
Xia Xiaoxian's eyes were wide open, and her chubby little hands covered her mouth tightly.
Seeing this, Xia Yu and Monk Daoyan could only stand by the door, their heads spinning and eyes looking around.
Pretend not to see it!
“Bang!”
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"I was married to the Duke's Mansion by the Emperor. Why should I be a concubine?" The woman was extremely strong and smashed a vase that was half a person's height with one hand.
"Before leaving the capital, the Empress issued a special decree that I would only be his concubine!"
The woman pointed at the Duke's back and said, "Chen Ao, I don't believe you dare to disobey my order!"
"presumptuous!"
Shen Yuyao finally couldn't help it and stepped into Shouning Hall.
"Even if the emperor grants the marriage, how dare you disobey your mother-in-law and father-in-law like this!" Shen Yuyao grabbed the woman's hand as she was about to throw something.
"Could it be that the Emperor and the Empress also taught you these?"
Shen Yuyao spoke righteously.
Xia Yu and Dao Yan were already applauding and cheering for Shen Yuyao in their hearts.
Xia Xiaoxian was unequivocal, "Mom, that's great!"
"Who are you?" The woman in red looked at Shen Yuyao arrogantly. She was half a head taller than Shen Yuyao.
"Yaoyao!"
"Yaoyao!"
Shen Ao and his wife exclaimed together, their faces full of excitement and excitement, and the Duke's wife's eyes suddenly turned red.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became quiet, and the woman in red stopped smashing things. Instead, she sat down on a chair, waiting to eat melons.
Shen Yuyao was dressed in men's clothes. The woman in red guessed that Shen Yuyao was probably the son of the Duke and his concubine.
Now that her son has returned, can Zhang still say that the Duke will only marry Zhang in this life?
"Shen Yuyao greets father and mother." Shen Yuyao knelt down and performed the ceremony of worship.
"Yaoyao!" The Duke's wife quickly helped her daughter up, hugged Shen Yuyao's shoulders, and cried softly.
After living for decades, the Duke's wife felt that she was really wronged today.
Duke Shen Ao also had an old face, which turned red, and he was muttering.
"Look, what is the emperor going to do?"
"Dad, which brother did the emperor arrange a marriage for?"
When Shen Yuyao said this, Shen Ao's face turned even redder, his lips trembled, and he couldn't speak.
The Duke's wife looked at Chen Ao resentfully and kept sobbing.
Instead, the woman in red burst into crazy laughter, "Hahaha, good son, come here and call me mother!"
When Shen Yuyao heard this, her face darkened.
Could it be that he was arranging a marriage for his father?
The emperor is really sick!
Seriously ill!
[My mother is going berserk! It’s all over.]
[Mother, although the woman's words may be harsh, she is indeed your mother, yes, my dear!]
"My Lord, he has decided to marry this concubine. The Emperor is waiting to catch the Duke's family in trouble."
[This woman is deeply loved by the Empress and the Emperor, and both imperial decrees and imperial decrees have been issued.]
[Refusing to marry is a serious crime of disobeying the imperial order, and the Duke's Mansion cannot afford it.]
[This woman's surname was Xie, her maiden name was Cuihua. She fought in many battles, achieving numerous military feats.]
She was born with supernatural strength, skilled in wielding a pair of heavy hammers weighing over 100 kilograms, and possessed the courage of ten thousand men.
"To be honest, this woman is worth marrying. If the war breaks out in the west and the Emperor wants to ask the Duke to come out and fight, she will lend a helping hand on the battlefield."
[The Duke was surrounded by the enemy, and it was she who carried him out of the pile of dead bodies.]
[Xie Cuihua's fate is clearly recorded in the Three Lives Book: she was beaten to death by the current emperor.]
【Oh, what a dilemma. 】
While Shen Yuyao was listening to Xiao Xianbao's thoughts, she began to look carefully at the woman in red.
She was wearing a red military uniform, but had her hair combed into a bun. Although her face was not pretty, she looked heroic, just like the female general in the painting.
Xie Cuihua originally thought that Shen Yuyao would turn against her on the spot when she heard her provocative words, and the two of them would then have a fight, and she could also let the Duke see how good her martial arts were.
Maybe the Duke can marry her as his concubine.
Xie Cuihua was very fond of Duke Shen Ao, the great hero she had admired since childhood.
She begged hard for five years, and when she was already in her twenties, the emperor and the empress finally gave in and issued an imperial decree to marry her to Chen Ao as his co-wife!
Xie Cuihua has an impatient temper.
As soon as she received the imperial edict, she ran alone, broke three horses, and traveled day and night to reach the Duke of Haozhou's mansion.
Before entering the mansion, Xie Cuihua specially made a woman's bun.
She just wanted Shen Ao to know that marrying him meant she truly loved him!
It is not what the world sees, just to get close to the Duke's Mansion and become the Duke's wife.
She knew that Shen Ao had only four sons, and the one entering the mansion now was not one of them.
Since he is the son of a concubine, he can probably share the same hatred with her. Xie Cuihua wants to see how Shen Yuyao will respond.
But at this time, Shen Yuyao's face was gloomy and uncertain. She didn't speak or move. No one knew what she was thinking.
laugh!
Xie Cuihua sneered in her heart. It seemed that Mr. Shen in front of her was also weak and cowardly, and could not make up his mind.
The atmosphere in Shouning Hall was very awkward. Everyone was thinking about their own things and no one broke the silence.
Xia Yu could only walk into Shouning Hall from the side of the door with an embarrassed look on his face.
"The son-in-law greets his father-in-law!"
Xia Yu bowed.
Only then did Shen Ao and his wife see clearly that it was the prince who was accompanying his daughter back to the Duke's Mansion.
He knelt down and saluted: "This old minister greets Prince Ning."
"Your Majesty, may your Majesty be blessed with good health and happiness!"
He turned around and saluted Shen Yuyao and Xia Xiaoxian:
"This old minister pays homage to Her Majesty Princess Ning and Princess Xiaoxian!"
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to the Princess. May the young Princess live long and long."
Shen Yuyao knew that the Duke was always cautious and attached great importance to etiquette, so she could only reluctantly accept the gift from her parents.
