Chapter 231 Aunt...Sister...Qing'er understood, but the sadness came on its own.
I managed to hold back my tears in the tent with great difficulty, but once I got outside, I couldn't hold them back any longer.
Tears rolled in like a raging mountain torrent.
Her aunt clutched her shoulders distressedly and said soothingly, "Qing'er, my precious Qing'er, please don't be too sad about this."
"As for men, there are many in the world. If the old ones don't go, the new ones will come. Besides, you haven't gotten married yet. You are a serious young lady. You will have plenty of opportunities to find a good man in the future."
"Besides, since this is an imperial decree granting marriage, even if Huo Zong had a hundred guts, he would not disobey the imperial decree and not marry that woman for your sake."
"Think about it, if he really did that, how would he live with his conscience? If our whole family were implicated, how would he cope with it?"
How could Qing'er not know these things?
How could he bear the consequences of disobeying the imperial edict? So Qing'er could understand, but she couldn't help but feel sad, and she couldn't pretend that this had never happened.
She sobbed, not wanting to worry her aunt and sister.
With a trembling voice, she slowly said, "Auntie... Sister... Qing'er understands, but this sadness has come on its own. Maybe, maybe it will get better after some time."
The more this happened, the more distressed my aunt felt.
He started to mutter in annoyance.
"So...what is this Princess Buhui? Who exactly is she? And it was actually the prince who personally wrote a letter, specifically asking General Huo to marry her? How does this make sense?"
"By the way, Mianmian, didn't you just say that Princess Buhui was marrying..."
When my aunt said this, she suddenly remembered something, opened her eyes wide, and looked at Ruan Mian suddenly.
"Mianmian!! Could this Nabuhui be the one who disturbed her relationship with the Crown Prince in Xingjia? Ruan Jiao?!"
Hearing the name Ruan Jiao, Qing'er also looked over in surprise.
Ruan Mian nodded, but before he could explain, Yu Sun suddenly walked over quickly and whispered to them.
"Madam Ruan, General Hu Lie and his men have arrived at the barracks. You should leave as soon as possible, or they might find you vulnerable and make things difficult for you."
After saying that, he did not forget to say something for Huo Zong.
"General Huo was actually reluctant about this, but it was difficult to disobey the emperor's order. At first, General Huo even wanted to decline the offer in front of all the officials in the court, but the emperor got furious. That's why the general had to consider the reputation of the capital."
"Someone even publicly suggested that General Huo's beloved was a fugitive. This was a disguised threat to the General. He must accept the matter. Otherwise, Miss Qing'er would be in danger."
"So the general has a lot of grievances to share. I hope Miss Qing'er will not blame the general. This is God's will. Ordinary people like us cannot stop it."
If he hadn't said it, Ruan Mian and the others wouldn't have known that Huo Zong had taken such a great risk to resist.
But the more this happened, the more Qing'er's tears flowed.
It was not until there was a noise outside the military camp that Ruan Mian took her aunt and Qing'er and left the place from the side to avoid causing any trouble and bringing trouble to General Huo.
But just as they walked out of the camp, a familiar voice was heard.
The woman called out politely, "Father, why doesn't General Huo come to greet us?"
Upon hearing this, Auntie and Qing'er turned around to see that the woman, dressed in gorgeous clothes and looking so noble, actually looked exactly like the deceased Ruan Jiao!
Qing'er froze and subconsciously looked at Ruan Mian.
Ruan Mian just hushed them and took them to a hidden place nearby.
Qing'er couldn't help herself. "Sister! Why is Ruan Jiao here? Wasn't she already dead? The female corpse we found earlier was clearly wearing her clothes, and even Lady Wang from the Bo Mansion identified the body!"
Ruan Mian said calmly: "It is obvious that the female corpse was not her."
Hearing this, Qing'er frowned, and before she could speak, Ruan Mian looked at her aunt.
"Aunt, you and Qing'er go back to the house first. I have something to do here."
Knowing that nothing would happen to her, the aunt immediately cooperated and took Qing'er away, but Qing'er was worried about her.
"Sister! You'll be in danger if you're here alone. If it's really Ruan Jiao, she's now a princess. If she knew you were here, she would definitely..."
"Qing'er, why are you still worried about your sister's strength? If we stay here, we will only hinder her. Don't worry, come back with your aunt!"
"Your sister will definitely take care of General Huo's matter for you."
After watching the two of them leave, Ruan Mian turned and walked into the military camp and found a familiar soldier.
At the same time, Ruan Jiao came to the main tent as Nabuhui.
Seeing the big and strong Huo Zong and the dilapidated and dirty tent, Ruan Jiao felt disgusted.
He whispered to his father, "Father, do I really want to marry into a place like this? It's dirty and smelly, where is it suitable for living?"
When General Hu Lie heard this, his face darkened and a strange emotion arose in his heart.
"How can a place for marching and fighting compare to a well-maintained mansion?"
Ruan Jiao suddenly realized that Hu Lie was also a general, and the conditions in the camp on weekdays were similar to those at this time.
So he quickly changed his attitude and nodded in agreement: "Father is right. We are all doing this for the people and for the country."
But in reality, wherever her eyes wandered, she was not satisfied. In fact, marrying here was not her original intention.
After suffering such a great injustice in Xingjia last time, she thought she could take the opportunity to propose to marry a prince of a royal family or other noble status.
But General Hu Lie personally asked to marry Huo Zong.
When asked, he said that Huo Zong was young and brave, and was very close to Lanqiang. The old couple had finally found their daughter, and the closer she was to him, the better.
If I really have to marry someone who lives thousands of miles away, I don’t know if I will have the chance to see you again for the rest of my life.
Ruan Jiao had no room to refute, as the revised letter had already been sent out.
She could only console herself in the opposite way. This Huo Zong was a great general after all, holding a powerful fist. If she could marry him, no one in the entire Wu Heng would be superior to her.
By then, won’t the people in the Ruan Mansion have to bow down to me and submit to me?
So she agreed to come, but Huo Zong was big and strong, how could he have the elegance of a gentleman?
Even...
Her gaze suddenly stopped at the tall and elegant young man standing behind Huo Zong, who was covered in armor.
Although they both wore armor, the young man was handsome and elegant.
Suddenly her pupils tightened slightly, and her eyes would occasionally linger on the young man.
Even what Huo Zong said beside her, she didn't hear at all.
It was not until she settled down in the tent temporarily that she sent the people around her to inquire about the man's identity.
Not long after, the new maid came over and told her, "Princess, that young man's name is Yu Sun, and he is the youngest tutor beside General Huo."
