Chapter 524 Have they all reformed?



Chapter 524 Have they all reformed?

General Xu resigned from his post as general, and will stay in the capital to take care of his old mother and show filial piety. The emperor was not happy at all, but was very angry! He was in a dilemma!

This move of his messed up all his plans!

He hoped to keep him in the capital, so that even if the prince of Chengguo Mansion returned to the barracks, he would not be able to smoothly take over the military power from General Xu!

Now it's good! He, a minister, put him, the emperor, on the fire!

He said that General Xu had a rebellious heart!

When Xu Muhua heard the news in the East Palace, she had a sense of expectation in her heart.

What she could think of, her father could not have thought of.

If the emperor really wants to take action, no one can prevent it. This time, the emperor is determined to keep her father in the capital.

Maybe the emperor had already thought of this plan when he arranged a marriage for her.

He wants both money and face! He

obviously wants to take back the military power by any means necessary, but he doesn't want the ministers and people to say that he is a useless person and leave the reputation of a tyrant.

"Muhua, I heard that your father submitted a petition to resign from the post of general at the court this morning, and will stay in the capital from now on. Congratulations, the family can finally be reunited."

In the side hall, Sun Xuehe, who had not been seen for a long time, said to Xu Muhua with a faint smile.

Pei Shaorong frowned, and a feeling of irritation rose in his heart.

Everyone knows that the reason why the Chengguo Association resigned and stayed in the capital was because the old lady was seriously ill. She knew it but still said this. Was she trying to hurt Muhua's feelings?

Xu Muhua was unmoved, "Yes, my father and mother are in the border and the capital respectively, making them look like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. It's a good thing that we can finally be reunited as husband and wife in the future. We are all very happy. If my grandmother can recover her health next time, it will be a happy occasion for everyone."

Most of what Xu Muhua said was true.

The military power had to be handed over sooner or later. The emperor had forced her to this point, and her father did not take the initiative to stay in the capital, leaving the opportunity to his eldest brother. Next time, maybe their whole family will be finished!

She had expected this result.

But the plan still had to be made!

The smile on Sun Xuehe's face froze for a moment, as if she just realized that what she said just now was a little inappropriate.

She said to save the situation: "The old lady is a blessed person, I think this time will be safe. The Duke will stay in the capital in the future, and the old lady will have a lot of blessings to enjoy!"

"I hope it's as you said!"

After that, Xu Muhua asked curiously: "Why did Xuehe suddenly send a visiting card to Arong? I haven't seen you come out for social events since you got married!"

Sun Xuehe would certainly not admit that she didn't see them because she had resentment in her heart.

They all grew up together, and their backgrounds were not much different. Why did each of them marry so well? At the very least, they could marry a young talent. And she married an old man who was old enough to be her father!

Actually, Xu Muhua was not completely ignorant of Sun Xuehe's affairs.

It was said that although her husband was more than a generation older than her, being older had its advantages, that is, he was very caring! Moreover, his legitimate son was not young anymore, so there was no need for her, the stepmother, to worry about having another child to take the position of the legitimate son.

So he was very happy to pamper his little wife.

In Xu Muhua's opinion, marrying such an old man was indeed very unfair for a young girl in her prime.

But since she looked down on those young people of humble origins and dared not resist to the end, and chose to marry this old man, she should live a good life and stop thinking about nonsense all day long.

After all, she could not change the environment, so she could only accept it and adapt herself.

But Xu Muhua also suspected that with Sun Xuehe's personality, she was probably getting stuck in a rut.

Sure enough, as soon as she asked, Sun Xuehe's brows were instantly filled with sorrow, but she also looked strong. "When I was still a concubine, I was always sad about little things and felt that life was difficult. It was not until I got married that I understood what sadness was."

As she spoke, her tears suddenly flowed down. She quickly tilted her head and wiped them with a handkerchief. "I am a stepmother. The previous one has been in the mansion for many years and has already won the hearts of the people. The servants in the mansion only recognize her. No one takes me seriously and treats me as the mistress."

"As for my stepson, let alone, he didn't even show up the day after I entered the house. But they just said that he was busy studying and that he was still a child and didn't know much, so I shouldn't worry about it. I'm only a few years older than him!"

"My mother-in-law is even more so. She gave me a warning as soon as we met, telling me to learn from the previous one and not be ignorant just because of my young age..."

Xu Muhua didn't dare to believe her words completely, and it was good enough to believe three-quarters.

She thought she could let the little intelligence agents go to find out the situation, so that everything would be clear!

Pei Shaorong did have a gap with Sun Xuehe before, but now after hearing what she said, she couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted.

Xu Muhua rushed to speak before her: "It's difficult for a new bride! Every family has its own problems. But as long as you have a good grasp of Lord Bao, you will definitely be able to gain a firm foothold in the Bao family over time and completely replace the previous one!"

Pei Shaorong was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and said: "What Muhua said makes sense, new brides all get here this way."

Sun Xuehe seemed to have heard what he said, and nodded helplessly: "Yes, it's different after getting married."

Xu Muhua couldn't help but feel a little suspicious when he saw her like this.

Have they all changed their personalities?

Pei Zhen was like this, and now Sun Xuehe is like this too. Can getting married change a person's personality and turn from evil to good?

No, no, no, she was more inclined to believe that they were all holding back some big moves.

Pei Zhen's situation has been figured out, and she is just waiting to use the child to frame Arong.

What about Sun Xuehe? What does she want to do?

It seems that her plan to let her intelligence network keep an eye on the whole city is about to be put on the agenda!

After all, she is someone who is going to do big things, so it is better to make preparations and plans early!

Sun Xuehe sat for half an hour and was ready to leave.

Before leaving, she seemed to hesitate for a moment, and finally looked at Pei Shaorong and said, "Arong, I know that I was too stubborn and misunderstood in the past. I also did a lot of wrong things and said a lot of unpleasant things. But now I understand that you meant well and really wanted to do good for me. It was me who was tactless and didn't know how to appreciate good people."

She also bowed her knees to Pei Shaorong solemnly, "Actually, I came here today to apologize to you. I misunderstood you in the past and wasted your kindness. I hope you won't blame me and can forgive me."

Pei Shaorong was surprised. He didn't expect her to do this.

She quickly helped her up, with mixed feelings, "I'm glad you figured it out. The road is made by people, and now that you have entered the Bao family, just live your life with Master Bao in peace!"
