Chapter 66 Let’s wait and see tomorrow
As night fell, Liang Weiyuan pushed a wheelchair into the room. Huo Jin saw her and raised his hand to ask, "Aren't you worried about the prince?"
Liang Weiyuan's beautiful eyes curved slightly in the candlelight, and the gentle smile on her lips was tinged with a hint of coldness: "My husband, are you asking me if I'm worried that the second wife has gotten on board with the Crown Prince?"
Huo Jin could feel her gaze on his face, like the water flowing through a steep creek, seemingly gentle but with the power to penetrate the rock.
He unconsciously pursed his thin lips under his high nose bridge, waiting for her answer.
"My husband should also know that the prince is very kind but lacks decisiveness." Liang Weiyuan said with a smile and contempt in her voice.
"The Second Branch thought they had found a golden opportunity, but they didn't realize it was like building a building on floating ice. It may look glamorous, but its foundation is actually unstable."
Therefore, when she heard that Huo Siyuan planned to protect the emperor, she was not in a hurry.
"My husband, don't worry too much." Liang Weiyuan's expression suddenly softened, and she spoke soothingly, "When the enemy comes, we will fight them; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. The foundation of this Marquis's mansion is not something that Yu Shi and the Second House can easily disturb."
"At least until my husband wakes up, I will protect the Marquis's Mansion."
As soon as the words fell, Huo Jin felt a sudden shock in his heart.
He wasn't worried.
The prince is kind and benevolent, and in today's prosperous times, he can indeed be called a good crown prince.
But it can only be described as "good".
If an unexpected event or war occurs, the prince lacks decisiveness, which has caused dissatisfaction and discussion among civil and military officials.
He just didn't expect that Liang Weiyuan, who was in the back house, had such a thorough and sharp understanding of the royal situation.
Especially the last words, which were gentle and firm, made him feel warm all over.
"Wife", "very good", Huo Jin saw Cang Jin's knuckles write out these words.
If he could open his eyes, he would definitely be full of admiration for Liang Weiyuan.
Liang Weiyuan was choked by his daughter-in-law's words and paused awkwardly.
It was the first time I heard him call himself that, and it felt strange.
Liang Weiyuan was not used to it. She cleared her cough and called Wei San into the room, asking him to help Huo Jin wash up and get on the bed. Then she turned around and left.
Mei Shu was waiting outside the door. Seeing Liang Weiyuan coming out, he stepped forward and whispered, "Miss, there's some movement in Shou'an Courtyard. I think the old lady will also come out of the courtyard to welcome the second wife tomorrow."
Liang Weiyuan nodded. This was natural. The old lady valued the honor of the Marquisate and would show up regardless of public or private reasons.
"Let's wait and see tomorrow."
The next day, it was already past noon when we received the news that Yu and his companions were about to arrive.
Except for the old lady who was old and resting in the main hall, Liang Weiyuan and Huo Hou were both outside the door.
"My lord, the madam and her convoy are almost here. Leading the way are the cavalry of the Crown Prince's Imperial Guards. What a magnificent sight!" The servant who had gathered the news ran back to report with a smile.
"well!"
Marquis Huo's face suddenly became all smiles, his back straightened up a lot. He was wearing a brand new brocade robe and kept looking towards the street corner, stroking his jade ring impatiently.
Sure enough, not long after, five palace carriages inlaid with gold and painted with lacquer came towards them, surrounded by ceremonial guards. The row of shining ornaments stopped steadily in front of the door.
When the curtain of the first carriage was lifted, Yu was the first to get off. She was wearing a jacket embroidered with gold embroidery, which was so dazzling in the bright sunlight that people could not open their eyes.
She also specially inserted a few red gold hairpins in her hair, and the jade necklaces swayed as she got off the car. Her graceful face was filled with a bright and dazzling smile.
Seeing Marquis Huo's eyes shining, Yu almost couldn't close her mouth, "Oh, Master, I've kept you waiting for a long time."
"Look at how hard our Siyuan has worked. It's all thanks to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who has rewarded us with so many things. That's why we're so slow to come back."
Before he finished speaking, a painful groan was heard from the second carriage.
"Look at my memory. I almost forgot the great contributor to our family."
Yu exclaimed in surprise, covering her mouth with her hands, and hurried forward, "My dear son, you are still injured, be careful!"
As he was speaking, Huo Siyuan was helped out of the car by two servants. The collar of his green brocade robe was open, revealing the snow-white bandages underneath.
His face was pale and slightly sunken. After he came down, he supported his injured shoulder with his hands, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "My son is fine. He just got hurt by the rewards from the palace."
He immediately raised his chin and looked at Marquis Huo with high spirits, "Father, these carriages are filled with rewards from the Crown Prince and His Majesty. When you ask the servants to move them, you must be careful to avoid bumping into anything."
Marquis Huo strode forward and saw the carriage piled high with brocade and jade boxes. His beard trembled with surprise and joy: "Even His Majesty knows about this?"
