Get married, and again?
Xu Yixing glanced at Siqin and Sihua, both of them looked confused.
"Princess, where did you get this information? Why didn't I know about my father's marriage?"
"How should I know why you don't know? It's all over the capital. General Xu is going to marry the sister of the former Left Vice Minister. It's probably going to happen this year. If you don't know, go back and ask your father."
After the fourth princess finished speaking, she felt bored and jumped away, leaving Xu Yixing stunned.
"The former Left Vice Minister's sister?" Xu Yixing sorted it out for a long time before finally remembering the corresponding person. It turned out to be her.
Zuo Shilang is not the name of an official title. Because his surname is Zuo and he was the former Shilang of the Ministry of Revenue, people got used to calling him that, so it became Zuo Shilang.
Actually, Minister Zuo is Minister Gu's predecessor, that is, Gu Shuang's father's predecessor. His sister is now forty years old, about the same age as his father. She was a widow in her early years. Why does she want to marry his father now?
Hey! This is weird! Why is Dad so at odds with the Ministry of Revenue?
Xu Yixing sat in his seat, his mind racing for a long time, considering the truth of this matter. Gu Shuang had passed away less than a year earlier, so it wasn't logical for them to get married so soon. However, after all, it wasn't their first time, and since they were older, perhaps they didn't have the same formalities as younger children.
But... Dad is really heartless. It's only been half a year and he's already thinking about marrying someone new. No wonder Gu Shuang came home a year after Mom died!
At first, Gu Shuang was proud that Mrs. Bai died early and gave him a chance, but now he never thought that she would repeat the situation of her mother.
No, go home!
Xu Yixing stood up quickly, apologized to the princess, and asked someone to tell Lu Anyuan. Then he hurriedly left the table and went straight to the general's mansion.
When they arrived at the mansion gate, Xu Yixing suddenly saw Ada following them for some unknown reason, riding a horse behind the carriage.
"Why are you here? Does your Highness have something to say?"
"No, it's just that you left in a hurry and didn't explain why. Your Highness was afraid that you might need him, so he asked me to go with you."
"Oh." But you really can't get involved in this matter. This is Dad's personal matter. As a daughter, it would be presumptuous for me to speak up, not to mention that there are other people around. "It's nothing serious. You can go to my house with Siqin Sihua and sit for a while. Dad and I have something to talk about. You don't have to come near."
Xu Yixing jumped out of the car and went straight to his father's study without looking back. As expected, his father did not attend any banquet today and was at home doing something unknown.
Xu Qian was standing at the door of the study. Seeing Xu Yixing's surprised expression, he quickly blocked the door and said, "The Second Miss is back. It's inconvenient for the General to come now. Why don't you come and see her later?"
When Xu Yixing saw this, his first reaction was that his father was hiding someone in the study. He was about to rush in, but after thinking for a long time, he decided to save some face for his father.
"Okay, Uncle Xu, I'll wait in my yard. If Dad is ready, please ask someone to call me." As he turned to leave, he made a gesture with his hand in front of his chest, which was a signal for Ying Jiu.
Although it's not impossible for my dad to remarry, but to keep a mistress in a golden house is too embarrassing, isn't it?
Xu Yi felt uncomfortable while exercising, and kept fanning himself with a handkerchief to cool down. He was still restless even when he went to the yard.
Ying Jiu went and came back, but did not show up. He just talked to her from the beam in mid-air: "The study over there has been dispersed. Three people have left."
"Three?" Xu Yixing nearly choked to death on his saliva. Hiding three people in a golden house? Wouldn't this tire his father to death? "Who are these three people?"
"I don't know. They all look like the military advisors, but I can't recognize them without their uniforms."
"It's not a woman..." Xu Yixing let out a long sigh. I thought, this must be Dad discussing something with an old friend, but I bumped into him. It's a good thing I didn't rush in directly just now, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.
"Second Miss, the master wants to see you." Someone soon came to the courtyard to pass on the message. Xu Yixing straightened her clothes and headdress, calmed herself down, and returned to the study.
"Dad, have a happy Dragon Boat Festival."
"Get up, get up. There's no need to perform such formalities. Isn't there a banquet at Prince Cheng's mansion today? Why are you coming home at this time?" Dad looked energetic and looked three or four years younger. I wonder what good news he had encountered.
Xu Yixing felt more and more suspicious. Could it be that his father was really a teenager again?
"Dad, I heard some rumors at the Dragon Boat Festival today. I wanted to defend you, but without knowing the details, I dare not speak."
Old Man Xu was still smiling, and asked with his eyes squinting, "What kind of rumor is causing my daughter such trouble?"
"Some people say that Dad is going to marry the sister of the former Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Is this true?" Xu Yixing didn't beat around the bush. After asking this question, he looked directly at his father's face.
He just frowned slightly, showing no anger, nor rushing to refute.
"So it's true?" Xu Yixing asked weakly. When he saw his father's expression, he felt bad. This matter was indeed not groundless.
"Yan'er, you ran away from Prince Cheng's banquet to question your father?"
"How could that be!" Xu Yixing half-knelt down, bowed deeply, swallowed the curse words in her heart, and said softly, "It's just that... Mother has only passed away for a little over half a year. If Dad gets married now, I'm afraid everyone will talk about him being heartless. Besides, the Left Minister's sister doesn't seem to be a good match either. I'm just worried about your future."
Dad was quite satisfied with her attitude and raised his hand to signal her to get up.
"Dad's future depends entirely on you and the Seventh Prince."
These words were somewhat blunt, and Xu Yixing felt weak. We are both half dead and can't see tomorrow, so how can we dare to take you with us.
"This is indeed true, but Dad didn't expect it to spread so quickly. I didn't intend to hide it from anyone. Since you already know, then let it be."
How about this? How about this? Xu Yixing was furious. It seemed that his father didn't want to explain to him at all.
"Dad, this isn't right. Where's Yiwen? My brother doesn't know about this, right? Shouldn't we tell him about this?"
"Hmph, you little bastard. You've been away studying for half a year and refused to come back even for the New Year. Aren't you really trying to go against me? Come back if you want!"
"Dad! How could you not tell my brother about such a big thing? He's still a child of our Xu family. And your decision is indeed a bit hasty. Our family doesn't lack a mistress. If you feel that the mansion is empty and there is no one, you can either take in a concubine or buy someone else. Why make such a big fuss?"
Dad is the only one left in the general's mansion now. It's understandable that he wants to find someone to take care of Xu Yixing, but this candidate is not very low-key.
