Chapter 465 Reversal of Innocence
Su Daya, also known as Su Ruoqing, was very happy every day when she received things brought to her by Huo Bingshuo, including food and toys.
She could feel that Huo Bingshuo treated her seriously and sincerely.
It turns out this is what it feels like to be truly loved and cared for.
Su Daya didn’t realize it before, but she does now.
As she ate the food Huo Bingshuo brought and played with the headdress he gave her, her heart was filled with sweetness and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
In fact, as long as Huo Bingshuo cares about her, she won't care about the rumors outside and will not be afraid at all.
Whatever insignificant people say about her can't hurt her.
And even if she didn't want to stay in Beijing anymore, she could go to Huo Bingshuo's hometown with him.
In his hometown, the northern part of the starry sky, no one knew what was happening in the capital.
Su Daya found that she looked forward to the next day every day, and the bright mood she felt was indescribable.
This is very different from the feeling her family gave her.
Is this what love is?
I like the feeling of palpitations.
Moreover, she is more motivated to do things every day and is willing to learn more.
Even Huo Bingshuo's sister found it incredible when she saw her brother occasionally showing a gentle look.
Her brother, whose face was as cold as ice and never had a smile on it, actually smiled.
"Brother, you are happy because you are going to marry your sister-in-law, right?"
Huo Bingshuo looked at his sister and said without any pretense: "Well, she is very good. She is the kind of woman I could marry with all my heart."
Huo Bingshuo's sister knew what her brother meant when she heard it. She smiled gently and said, "Brother, don't worry. My brother and I will respect my sister-in-law."
"Sister-in-law has become one of our own family members, and we will protect her."
Hearing his sister say this, Huo Bingshuo felt relieved.
Huo Bingshuo married Su Ruoqing because he wanted to treat her well and didn't want her to suffer any grievances.
He wanted her to feel comfortable at home and be able to do what she wanted.
After a moment of silence, Huo Bingshuo said worriedly, "The rumors outside..."
Before Huo Bingshuo could finish, his sister said with a smile, "Brother, do you think my brother and I are so pedantic?"
"The rumors are simply not credible."
"No matter what rumors there are out there, they are useless. I only trust your judgment, brother."
"Besides, what does it matter what others say? As long as we feel good about it, that's fine."
"Also, my younger brother studied at Lulin Academy and met the Su family's Third Madam, also known as Mrs. Shen. He praised her highly, saying that my sister-in-law was taught by Mrs. Shen, and that there would definitely be no problem with her temperament. She would definitely be a good person."
Huo Bingshuo's sister Huo Bingse is fourteen years old and his brother Huo Bingce is twelve years old.
Because his family had no connections, it was only with the help of Guan Lao that Huo Bingce was qualified to enter Lulin Academy.
However, Huo Bingce also passed the entrance examination and had good academic performance, so he was able to enter the academy.
Speaking of this, Huo Bingse also had a smile on his face.
"My brother also said that he learned pinyin from the milk tea shop over there. Although it is a milk tea and dessert shop, it is more like a bookstore where you can read and study."
"Because Miss Shen saved the old dean of Yunting Academy, the relationship between the two academies has eased a lot. The academies have relaxed their rules and allowed students to go down the mountain and hang out in the manor."
“Actually, everyone is reading in Zhuangzi.”
"My brother said that the books there are some that you can't buy outside. Reading them can be enlightening and allow people to learn a lot..."
Huo Bingse said this because he was happy for his younger brother.
Huo Bingshuo had never thought that his younger brother had actually met Mrs. Shen.
Huo Bingshuo was on duty in the palace on weekdays and rarely paid attention to what shops were opened in the capital.
Nor will I go shopping for consumption.
He saved all his salary and was reluctant to spend a penny.
My younger sister helps with household chores at home and also runs a shop left by my parents, which helps cover daily expenses.
In fact, Huo Bingse also had a talent for business. She had saved some money, and some things left by her parents, which she had already arranged for the three brothers and sisters.
The three siblings support each other in life.
Now that he has a sister-in-law, Huo Bingse is happy for her brother.
She could see that her brother was frugal in his daily life and was reluctant to spend a penny, but for his sister-in-law, he was willing to spend anything.
Even though he was such a cold and clumsy person, he would learn to carefully select some things to send to his sister-in-law.
Even Yuan Jinghen was shocked. He asked Huo Bingshuo to come out and ask, "Cousin, is what they say outside true? Are you really engaged to the eldest daughter of the Su family? Are you going through the six rituals to officially get married? Have you set a date?"
Yuan Jinghen heard the rumors outside and didn't believe them. He just wanted to hear it from his cousin in person.
He felt very guilty and worried that he had harmed his cousin.
Huo Bingshuo said seriously: "It's true, it won't change. She will be my wife from now on."
"I heard that you and Miss Yan are also engaged."
The Yuan family also went to Prince Ping's mansion to propose marriage, and Prince Ping agreed.
Although he was the Prince of Ping, he was not valued by the emperor. He only received a salary from the royal family. It sounded good, but he had no real power.
Yuan Jinghen was talented, self-disciplined and capable, so Prince Ping did not make a fuss and agreed.
Yuan Jinghen nodded. He was very happy, but he was worried about Huo Bingshuo.
Huo Bingshuo said, "Thank you, cousin."
Huo Bingshuo bowed to Yuan Jinghen seriously.
Looking at his cousin's serious expression, Yuan Jinghen realized that he really wanted to marry the eldest daughter of the Su family and really thought that woman was good.
In this way, he wouldn't have to say anything else.
…
When everyone in the capital was discussing the matter between the eldest lady of the Su family and Huo Bingshuo in private, and what they said was very unpleasant.
The Lu and Gao families were confiscated for treason and collaborating with the enemy.
All the people from the Lu and Gao families were arrested and all of them were strictly interrogated.
This matter was very serious and caused an uproar.
No one knows why the people from the Lu and Gao families were arrested.
Immediately afterwards, a piece of news came out from the Dali Temple.
That is, the Lu family and the Gao family joined forces to discredit Su Daya, just to force Su Daya to marry into the Lu family or the Gao family, so that they could use Su Daya to negotiate conditions with the Su family to achieve their goal.
After this news spread, the entire capital fell silent.
Just a moment ago, some ladies were mocking Su Daya, also known as Su Ruoqing, at the banquet.
Treat her as a joke after dinner.
The next moment, the Lu and Gao families who framed and defamed Su Ruoqing were raided, which made many people afraid to even mention Su Ruoqing.
"So, everything is a misunderstanding?"
"So Miss Su is actually innocent, it's just because the Lu and Gao families want to marry her?"
"We all misunderstood Miss Su. In fact, Miss Su is not what the rumors say."
"No wonder Huo Bingshuo asked Master Guan to go to the Su family to propose marriage. Master Guan praised Miss Su highly."
After many people understood what was going on, their faces turned pale and blue.
