Chapter 433: Help Big Brother
This is the capital, unlike the northwest where you can ride horses anywhere.
That’s not possible here. You have to take a carriage.
Xue Hou Mansion.
Looking at Xue Jinsong, whose veins were popping out of anger, Chu Shiheng felt helpless.
But even though he is a prince, it is difficult for him to interfere in such matters.
"Father, please forgive me for not obeying your order!" Xue Zhonggui knelt on the ground and said stubbornly.
Xue Jinsong: “…” He had heard this sentence no less than ten times in the past two days and was already tired of it.
"Young people's marriages have always been decided by their elders. When will it be your turn to make your own decisions? Besides, can your parents really harm you?"
"But I have a woman I like, and I believe she is the best woman." Xue Zhonggui answered without thinking.
Hearing this, Xue Zhonglan immediately knelt down and said without thinking: "Father, Mother, please help my brother, she and..."
"I have fulfilled his wish, but who will fulfill mine?" Xue Jinsong asked in return.
After finishing speaking, he continued:
"And you, don't think you can get away with this. You'd better not be like your brother, making your own decisions and irritating us by saying you have someone you like."
Xue Zhonglan: “…”
"Father......"
"Enough, what else do you want to say?" Xue Jinsong interrupted Xue Zhonggui directly.
However, just as he finished speaking, Xue Zhonglan fell to her knees with a thud, shouting, "Father, please help me!"
Hearing this, Xue Jinsong jumped up and asked in disbelief, "What did you say?"
It's not that he wants to act like this, but he knows his daughter.
It was obvious that her behavior was not a good thing.
Sure enough, just as he finished speaking, he heard his daughter say, "Daughter...Daughter also has a crush on someone."
"What did you say? Say it again?" Xue Jinsong said gritting his teeth.
That would have been fine, but Le Jiayun also deliberately gave a look to the servants around her, indicating that they should not tell this to anyone.
Only after getting the servant's nod did Le Jiayun feel relieved.
"Zhonglan, Zhonglan, what did you just say? Talk to your mother. You have always been the most obedient. Don't..."
"mother......"
This was what Yu Mengqing saw when she came in.
The brother and sister knelt on the ground at the same time, looking stubborn.
Seeing this, Yu Mengqing couldn't help but feel curious, what could be going on?
According to her understanding, Xue Zhonglan has always been obedient. Not only Xue Zhonglan, but Xue Zhonggui is also a filial son who never disobeys his elders.
What's more, they now have military merits. Now that both the brother and the sister have military merits, the family should be happy.
But now, why is it like this?
"Mengqing..." Xue Zhonglan was the first to see Yu Mengqing and quickly called out to her.
For some reason, she felt that Yu Mengqing had a way to solve this problem for the two of them.
"What's going on?" Yu Mengqing asked curiously.
Seeing Xue Zhonglan crying, Yu Mengqing felt bad too.
It seems that this matter is really not a small one.
But she couldn't understand what could have happened to force the two siblings to become like this.
This was totally different from what she had imagined.
"Princess Chu, come, come, sit here!" Le Jiayun was still quite polite when she saw Yu Mengqing.
What a joke, how could she not be polite?
You know, this person is now a favorite of the emperor.
And now, in the entire capital, who doesn’t know her?
It is indeed an honor for their Xue Hou Mansion that she can enter his mansion.
Seeing this, Xue Zhonggui and Xue Zhonglan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
With Yu Mengqing's help, this matter should not be difficult to resolve.
"Princess Chu, please judge for yourself. Zhonggui just went to the border and came back to tell us he has a crush. That's fine, but when I asked him to take that girl as a concubine, he said no. Isn't he deliberately trying to make things difficult for us as parents?"
As soon as Yu Mengqing sat down, Le Jiayun complained to her.
Upon hearing this, Yu Mengqing raised her eyebrows.
She thought she probably knew what was going on.
Come to think of it, Guo Peiying's status is a good match for Xue Zhonggui.
If Guo Zhaochuang knew that his daughter was marrying into Marquis Xue's mansion as a concubine, he would probably fight with Xue Jinsong directly.
But Yu Mengqing was very curious about what kind of family Xue Jinsong was that Xue Zhonggui had found. How could he be so powerful that he wanted Guo Peiying to be his concubine?
Just as I was about to ask, I heard Le Jiayun's voice again.
"It's fine if Zhonggui is like this. After all, he's a boy and can't take much of a loss. But I never thought that Zhonglan would also..."
Le Jiayun had nothing to hide from Yu Mengqing.
She knew that her daughter had always regarded Yu Mengqing as a good friend.
Not to mention that they have been together in the frontier for so many years, even when they were still in the capital, the daughter often mentioned Yu Mengqing.
Moreover, when they were at the border, their daughter had written to them many times, telling them about her and Yu Mengqing.
Therefore, it was not only Xue Zhonglan who felt like she had seen a savior when she saw Yu Mengqing.
The same is true for Le Jiayun.
"Zhonglan? How is Zhonglan?" Yu Mengqing asked curiously.
"She said...she said, oh, she said she has a crush on someone. Just tell me, how could a girl like her say such shameless things?"
Le Jiayun said this with a look of disappointment.
After hearing this, Yu Mengqing finally understood.
It turned out that Xue Jinsong and his wife had already verbally arranged a marriage for the brother and sister.
When I think about how engagements in ancient times were always decided by parents, it was really rare for people to make their own decisions and freely fall in love.
Moreover, the people here have always valued friendship and commitment.
Many engagements are based on verbal promises made by both parties.
In this way, the red line is successfully drawn.
Just thinking of Guo Yalun and his sister, Yu Mengqing certainly didn't want to see these people separated like this.
Curious, Yu Mengqing finally spoke up, "I wonder which daughter Madam Xue is betrothed to?"
The question was naturally about Xue Zhonggui's marriage.
As for Xue Zhonglan, Yu Mengqing really couldn't say.
Even Yu Mengqing herself was shocked. She didn't expect that Xue Zhonglan would say such words in a hurry.
