Chapter 153: Idiot Song Zhangying

Seeing that Guo finally gave in, Song Qingyan ordered, "Jinxin, help Auntie up and give her a seat."

Seeing the Imperial Concubine like this, Guo Yueshao, who was standing by, was even more in awe of her. Even he himself was a little afraid of the Imperial Concubine's aura just now.

My aunt had indeed overstepped her bounds. All the glory and honor that my aunt and uncle had received came from the Dingguo Marquis Mansion.

Although my aunt had always been a domineering person at home, she had always been very kind to me.

So when she saw her aunt being reprimanded by the Imperial Concubine, she felt very distressed, but she did not dare to say anything.

Hearing the Imperial Concubine offering a seat to his aunt, Guo Yueshao hurried forward to help Guo Yu up. When he saw her sit down, he sat down next to Guo Yu.

After what happened just now, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became a little awkward.

Lu Xingwan was also shocked by her mother's majesty just now.

[Wow, it's so cool that my mother makes the decision for my grandmother! ]

[However, one should not judge a person by his appearance. I never thought that Guo Yueshao was such a humble person. She is indeed the daughter that the Guo family has carefully nurtured in the storybook.]

When Song Qingyan heard what Lu Xingwan said, she became curious. Could it be that Guo Yueshao was also mentioned in the storybook?

Naturally, Lu Xingwan couldn't stop thinking about it.

[Guo Ping was originally a student of Cui Wen. In the story, the Cui family was at its peak, and Guo Ping had already joined the Third Prince's school and served him.]

[Guo Yueshao was the one chosen by Cui Wen and Guo Ping to marry the Third Prince.]

[But the Third Prince has such a perverted personality, how could he like a lady from a noble family like Guo Yueshao? He would just keep her as his principal wife at home.]

[What is unexpected is that Guo Yueshao later followed the Third Prince to his death after he committed suicide in prison.]

[My second brother originally wanted to find a way out for her.]

【That's quite a bit of integrity. 】

After hearing Lu Xingwan's thoughts, Song Qingyan looked at Guo Yueshao with even softer eyes. This seemingly weak girl actually had such integrity.

"The moon has grown."

Guo Yueshao looked up at the Imperial Concubine who had spoken, and saw that the corners of her eyes were curved, as if she was smiling, and he could not help but be stunned.

The Royal Concubine is truly stunningly beautiful.

Seeing her like this, Song Qingyan was not annoyed and just stretched out her hand: "Yue Shao, come here."

Pulling Guo Yueshao's hand, he said, "When you were little, you often came to the mansion with your aunt, but as you grew older, you rarely went out."

Guo Yueshao also smiled and said, "To answer your Majesty, Yueshao likes to be quiet. It is thanks to my father and mother that they are willing to let me do what I like at home."

"I also came to the Marquis' Mansion to see my aunt today," Guo Yueshao said, looking in the direction of Guo Yu, "I heard that the Royal Concubine had returned home, and my aunt said that etiquette cannot be abandoned, and I must come to pay my respects to the Empress."

This was just a polite remark. No one knew whether Guo Yueshao liked silence or not.

However, everyone in the aristocratic circle knew that Lord Guo Ping deliberately kept his daughter in the courtyard, rarely seeing people, just waiting for her to soar to the sky.

But Guo Ping had not expected that the Cui family would be destroyed overnight, leaving only the third prince. What kind of waves could he make?

Guo Yu had learned his lesson and was no longer as arrogant as before when he spoke again: "Yue Shao has always been a polite child."

The Guo family is a family of scholars, and Guo Yu has been carefully brought up by the Guo family since childhood. If the old lady had not come to the door in person to propose marriage, the Guo family would definitely not marry their daughter to Song Zhangying.

【I suddenly seem to remember Guo Yu.】

Lu Xingwan's mumbling voice once again entered Song Qingyan's mind.

[My maternal grandfather had a half-brother named Song Zhangying, right? This Guo Yu is Song Zhangying's wife, right?]

As if to get Lu Xingwan's confirmation, Song Qingyan also spoke up immediately: "Why didn't you see your second uncle? Did you go to work at the Ministry of Rites?"

Song Zhangying now works as a Yuanwailang in the Ministry of Rites, which is nothing more than an insignificant position. Some children of noble families hold it in exchange for some nominal positions and salaries. Although it is only a fifth-rank position, which is not high, it is still something to do, and at least people can call him "Sir Song".

When talking about her husband, Guo Yu's face suddenly showed some anger. After being taught a lesson by Marquis Dingguo a few days ago, he was finally able to stay at home and study, take care of affairs, and even report to the Ministry of Rites on time.

But these days, I made some good friends who like to drink and eat together, and started to hang out in places with fireworks and alleys.

But when facing the family of Marquis Dingguo, he still tried to maintain his demeanor: "He just came back home and left in a hurry. I think he had some government affairs."

The Dingguo Marquis family naturally did not want to comment on Song Zhangying. Only Song Qingyan smiled and said, "Second uncle is busy with things outside, but Auntie has to take care of things at home."

Lu Xingwan confirmed what he was thinking, and then continued to recall the fragments in the story.

[Mother, mother, please pay attention to this Song Zhangying. The story says that this person is not that bad, but he is a complete idiot.]

Lu Xingwan became more and more anxious as he spoke, and there was a bit more urgency in his eyes when he looked at his mother. He screamed and tried to pounce on Song Qingyan.

Jin Xin hurriedly took Lu Xingwan from Song Zhuo's arms and walked in front of Song Qingyan.

Zhao joked, "Princess Yong'an is looking for her mother!"

Song Qingyan took Lu Xingwan over with a smile. She knew what Wanwan was worried about, so she patted her back to comfort her: "Don't worry, Wanwan, mother is here!"

Even Lu Xingwan didn't realize that Song Qingyan called herself Wanwan's "mother".

This surprised the other people in the hall.

Even in an ordinary official family like theirs, women would call their mother "mother". The imperial concubine lived deep in the harem, so she should pay more attention to etiquette.

Mrs. Xiao, the marquis' wife, secretly took note of this matter and decided to have a good talk with her daughter about it when no one was around.

Lu Xingwan gradually calmed down in Song Qingyan's arms.

Wei smiled and said, "After all, Zhuo Ge'er is an unmarried boy. It's not safe to hold a child..."

Before Wei could finish speaking, Lu Xingwan stretched out her little hands towards Song Zhuo again, still asking him to hug her.

In Lu Xingwan's eyes, she only felt that Song Zhuo was tall, and his perspective was different from her usual way of looking at things.

Seeing Lu Xingwan like this, everyone in the hall laughed again.

Even the second room's family was integrated into this harmonious atmosphere.

"Look, your majesty, Yong'an seems to understand what I say," Wei said with a smile, "He's quite clever!"

Lu Xingwan never felt that she had any deep feelings for the Dingguo Marquis Mansion. Even facing the ending of her father and mother in the storybook, it was just a story to her.

But after living with them for a few months, she became more and more reluctant to leave her mother.

Just now I thought of what Song Zhangying did to the Dingguo Marquis Mansion in the story, and I couldn't help but feel terrified.
