126 Family Misfortune
Princess Qing wanted so much that she wanted to slap this old guy to death!
Why does everyone say that he is a promising young man? !
"Since Prince Qing likes them, I will grant them a marriage today!" Pei Yuning said happily.
Prince Qing and his wife immediately expressed their gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for granting us this marriage!"
…
Mansion of Duke Xu.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Xu Huasong stopped.
Xu Huaili, who was following behind, naturally didn't move at all.
Xu Huasong turned back suddenly with a cold look.
“Bang!!”
A slap came with full force and landed directly on Xu Huaili's face!
Xu Huaili accepted the slap calmly and quietly, but his face immediately became red and swollen, but his eyes did not move at all.
Seeing this, Xu Huasong's face darkened and he slapped him again!
The servants were so frightened that they kept silent and knelt on the ground, not daring to look up, for fear that the anger would be directed at them at any time.
Xu Huaili felt a burning pain on both sides of his face. It was obvious that his grandfather was ruthless and left no room for mercy.
He numbly raised his head to face his grandfather's anger. He knew this was inevitable, but he also didn't want to be a tool for family marriage.
The look was full of coldness and stubbornness, and the meaning was obvious.
Xu Huasong suddenly laughed, but stopped laughing in an instant.
"You simply don't know your place!" Xu Huasong uttered sarcastically in silence.
Don’t you know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is?
Maybe...
At this moment, Xu Huaili felt extremely peaceful, so peaceful that it was terrifying.
Xu Huasong didn't want to see him again, so he said coldly, "Go kneel in the ancestral hall! Don't get up without my order!"
"Yes." Xu Huaili lowered his head and replied in a hoarse voice.
Xu Huasong turned around and left. This was the first time he hit him, and also the first time he did not give him any face in front of so many people.
Because he deserves it!
In order to disobey His Majesty's marriage order, she actually came up with the bad idea of marrying a tablet? !
It's a joke!
Hearing the news, Liu Ruomei walked quickly but not in a panic. Seeing her son's bad face, she just asked, "Go back first."
Xu Huaili's eyes moved, and then he shook his head, "My grandfather asked me to go to the ancestral hall to be punished."
Liu Ruomei frowned. She didn't expect that her father-in-law would punish her son so severely this time.
But she couldn't say anything.
Liu Ruomei had no choice but to nod and gave up asking him what happened.
"Go ahead."
Xu Huaili lowered his head and said, "Son, I'll take my leave."
As soon as Xu Huaili left, Liu Rumei went to her mother-in-law's yard.
I want to know what happened to make my father-in-law so angry!
The eldest uncle of the Xu family, Xu Jixian, holds an idle position of the fifth rank in the court. He usually likes romance, calligraphy, painting, and flower appreciation.
He pays little attention to household chores and does not care much about the upbringing of his children.
Today, I was suddenly called together by my father.
When Xu Jixian arrived, he found his wife Liu Ruomei was there too. He paused and walked in as if nothing had happened.
Liu Ruomei and Xu Jixian have an average relationship as a couple, and she is also very cold towards Xu Jixian.
Usually he went to the study or his aunt's place at will.
Old Mrs. Xu asked her husband, "What happened? I heard that you asked Huaili to kneel in the ancestral hall?"
Xu Huasong had calmed down a lot at this moment and drank some tea to calm down.
"Ha..." Xu Huasong sneered, "Your good grandson, you really opened my eyes today."
Xu Jixian frowned, "Huai Li? Isn't he always the most stable one?"
Liu Ruomei didn't say anything, but she realized that what happened today must be no small matter.
"Your Majesty originally wanted to grant him a marriage today." Xu Huasong said in a calm voice.
Old Madam Xu was surprised. "Marriage by appointment? Which girl?"
"Princess Jiayi."
"Princess Jiayi?" Old Mrs. Xu frowned, but after thinking about it carefully, there was nothing wrong with it.
She had also met Princess Jiayi. She was not arrogant and was a good girl.
Everyone present had different thoughts, especially Liu Rumei, who had a strange feeling in her heart.
She knew what her son was thinking, as she had told him about the girl from the Xiao family before.
He rarely refused and seemed satisfied.
Old Madam Xu said, "The marriage is granted by His Majesty, and it is not ordinary to receive the imperial decree of marriage."
It would be great if my grandson could be so successful.
Xu Huasong's face darkened, his expression unclear, "In order to shirk his majesty's marriage, he said he wanted to marry the daughter of a teacher in Huaizhou."
Which teacher? How come he hasn't heard of it? Besides, he only stayed in Huaizhou for a month when he was young, so why did he have to marry someone else's daughter?
After hearing what her father-in-law said, Liu Rumei was even more confused.
If his son refused because of the girl from the Xiao family, he could understand that. But why did his father-in-law say that it was because of the daughter of a teacher in Huaizhou?
Liu Ruo pursed her eyebrows and looked a little more confused, but she didn't say anything.
Just listen quietly to what happens next.
Xu Jixian thought it was no big deal. "If he doesn't want to marry Princess Jiayi, then let him be. Why should father make such a fuss?"
Xu Huasong did not have a good face for his son who had no ambition to make progress. He just thought that it was amazing that he could abide by the law.
Xu Huasong's face was gloomy, and he revealed another shocking news, "He said that the girl had passed away, and he wanted to marry her tablet and observe mourning for her for three years."
“Bang!”
Old Mrs. Xu's face changed drastically, she grabbed the armrest with her hand, and the teacup fell to the ground!
"What!!???" Xu Jixian was shocked.
Liu Ruomei's face also turned ugly at this moment. She didn't expect that it was because of this reason.
I can understand my father-in-law's behavior.
After all, what his son did was too unbelievable.
She originally wanted to marry her son to the third daughter of the Xiao family, which would be better than him being entangled with Li Yunran all day long.
She didn't like Li Yunran and would not agree to have her as her daughter-in-law.
Although Li Yunran is somewhat similar to the third young lady of the Xiao family, it is only in their faces.
They are totally not on the same level.
"He's such a bastard!" Old Mrs. Xu couldn't help but scold her grandson.
He is the most promising one in his life, how could he marry a tablet and become a widower? !
"He has grown too powerful and dared to contradict Your Majesty. Without Your Majesty's mercy, does he think he can come back safe and sound?" Xu Huasong was also furious. He had always believed that his grandson was the hope of the Duke's Mansion in the future.
I also had high expectations for him, but I didn't expect that he would want to give up his future just because of his children's love affair!
Marrying a Jiayi is not a big deal, but he just does what he wants and doesn't care about the family's honor or disgrace at all.
"This time he made a promise in front of Your Majesty that even if he didn't marry the girl, he would still observe mourning for her for three years. Your Majesty agreed." After Xu Huasong said this, all his strength seemed to be exhausted.
He sighed deeply, "What a misfortune for my family..."
Old Mrs. Xu was so shocked that she couldn't catch her breath. Her eyes went dark and she fainted.
Xu Jixian was horrified and hurried to support the person, "Mother!"
Liu Ruomei calmly ordered the servants, "Go get the palace doctor!"
