Pei Ji was nearly shocked to death by these words, but he calmed himself down and said, "Mom, Huanhuan is the only woman I want to marry in this life. She is the only one I will marry in the future. Please stop imagining things."
Seeing his serious expression, Mrs. Huo realized she had spoken out of turn. Yes, how could she not understand her son? Since Akang had already decided on Huanhuan, there must be no room in his eyes or heart for any other woman. It was her, as a mother, who was too suspicious.
"Since you also want to marry Huanhuan, what are you waiting for? Don't use the demon bug as an excuse. The right thing to do is to marry her as soon as possible. Tomorrow I will send a letter to my mother-in-law and come to discuss your marriage with her."
Mrs. Huo did not allow for rejection and was obviously determined to complete the marriage between Pei Ji and Xue Huan.
Pei Ji was silent for a moment, and agreed seemingly reluctantly, but he was actually secretly delighted in his heart.
"What? Auntie wants to invite my mother to come and discuss our marriage?"
That night, Pei Jiye visited Xue Huan's boudoir and told her about this.
Xue Huan reacted a little strongly after hearing this.
But knowing that Pei Ji did not confess that he did not want to get married so early, but used the magic insect as an excuse, she could not blame him.
Pei Ji lowered his eyes with a lonely look on his face, "Hanhuan, don't you really want to marry me?"
Xue Huan's heart softened when she saw his pitiful look. She held his face and said, "It's not that I don't want to marry you, it's that I don't want to get married so early. I'm not even seventeen yet."
She is still a young girl in her prime. Once she gets married, won’t she become a married woman?
The thought of this made her feel sick.
Pei Ji held her in his arms and said coaxingly, "Actually, you're already seventeen at the beginning of the year, eighteen in lunar age, you're not young anymore. We can get engaged first and then get married when the time comes. How about that?"
In short, get the person first.
Seeing Xue Huan's hesitation, Pei Ji placed his head on her shoulder and rubbed it coquettishly, "Han Huan, we will get married sooner or later. If we do it sooner, my mother and aunt will feel more at ease, don't you think?"
He also moved Mrs. Huo and Mrs. Xue out.
Xue Huan's inner defenses collapsed a little again.
Pei Ji kissed her on the neck and used his charm, "If Huanhuan agrees, I'll let you do whatever you want tonight, okay?"
How could Xue Huan bear it when such a stunningly handsome man whispered such ambiguous words in her ear?
"really?"
"Yeah." Pei Ji nodded while suppressing his embarrassment. There was a layer of water in his eyes, making him look even more beautiful.
Usually in front of outsiders, Pei Ji is arrogant, cold, and inviolable. However, when in front of Xue Huan, he naturally unlocks another look that is more likely to gain sympathy.
Sure enough, Xue Huan looked at him and was obviously ready to make a move.
"You said it, don't regret it later." Xue Huan pounced on Pei Ji with an evil smile on her face, like a female bully who was robbing a handsome man.
Pei Ji fell obediently on the bed with secret expectation.
But he soon regretted it.
"Let me make it clear first. No matter what I do to you, you are not allowed to resist, otherwise I will tie you up."
Pei Ji's Adam's apple rolled, and he said, "Okay." His voice was already a little hoarse.
Although Xue Huan usually talks a lot, she becomes timid when it comes to actual combat. How could she really do anything to Pei Ji?
The reason why she was so excited was that she finally had a chance to perform her magic.
Yes, she treated Pei Ji as a training subject that came to her doorstep.
It has been quite some time since she followed Zi Gu to learn the art of charm. It is time to test how far she has come.
In order to prevent the noise in the room from being leaked, Xue Huan brought Pei Ji to the bedroom in the space, and then cast a charm on him with confidence.
That night, Pei Ji was in a state of extreme torture, being tortured to death by Xue Huan, the annoying little goblin.
The next day, Mrs. Huo looked at her son, whose eyes were dark blue, and couldn't help asking, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"
It's not just that he didn't sleep well. His spirit remained highly excited the whole night, but he naturally couldn't tell his mother about this.
Pei Ji said "hmm" lightly.
At the Xue family's side, Xue's mother received a visiting card sent by Mrs. Huo early in the morning. After reading the content of the card, she was confused and shocked. In the card, Mrs. Huo claimed to be Akang's mother. Akang was the prince, oh no, now he is the regent. Then his mother, isn't she the legendary Queen Huo who was burned to death?
Could it be that Empress Huo is not actually dead?
Xue's mother called Xue Huan into her room and handed her the post, "Han Huan, take a look."
Xue Huan already knew about this and wasn't surprised, but she still had to put on a show of surprise. "Aunt Huo has said she wanted to visit you a long time ago, but she couldn't show up before, so she had to hold back. Now, even if she's recognized, it won't matter, so she sent you the invitation."
"Aunt Huo? Have you met this Mrs. Huo before?"
Xue Huan took her mother's arm and told her how Pei Ji had taken her to meet his parents. At the end, she said a little uncomfortably, "Mom, you won't blame me for hiding this from you, will you?"
Xue's mother poked her head lightly with her finger, "Who do you think mother is? Madam Huo fled the palace and lived in seclusion in Fengchi. It's only natural that she doesn't reveal her identity."
Thinking of Mrs. Huo coming to visit, she couldn't help but feel a little panicked, because she was once the queen mother of a country.
"Mrs. Huo is coming to our house. What do you think mother should do?"
Xue Huan chuckled, "Mom, Aunt Huo is very gentle and easy to get along with. She's not arrogant at all. Just put your heart at ease and treat her as a close friend visiting. There's no need to prepare anything special."
"How can that be? Although our family is not a wealthy one, we must still observe the proper etiquette. Tell me more about Madam Huo so that I can have a better understanding of the matter."
Xue Huan told everything she knew about the Huo family.
After hearing her talk about the specific details of their interactions, Xue's mother finally believed what she had said about Mrs. Huo being gentle and easy to get along with, and she was no longer as nervous and fearful about Mrs. Huo's visit as she had been at the beginning.
But we still have to prepare what needs to be prepared.
Xue's mother immediately wrote a reply, saying that she was free the next day and that Mrs. Huo could come to her house. After she came out, she gave it to the person who came to deliver the visiting card.
As for today, she has to clean up the house.
On this day, Xue's mother took her three children and several servants to clean up the entire house inside and out.
In fact, Xue's mother is a very clean person and usually keeps the house very tidy, but after this cleaning, the entire Xue house became even cleaner.
Among them, Xue Huan contributed the most. Cleansing skills are not very useful at times like this.
In addition to sweeping the house, Xue's mother also specially changed the furnishings in the house and rearranged the potted plants on the steps.
Finally, the most important thing comes.
When guests come to visit, you have to prepare a list of tea, snacks and dishes in advance, and prepare the ingredients in advance.
Xue Huan felt that her mother was making it too grand, but if it could make her feel more at ease, she would not dissuade her.
