Chapter 145 The Little Queen Whose Wife Was Taken Away by the King (11)
"What happened today has truly frightened Madam and Miss. I, Huo, feel deeply ashamed. These villains came for my Huo family. The fact that you two have been innocently implicated is truly my fault."
"But fortunately, Miss Ning remained calm and composed in the face of danger today. Not only did she successfully stabilize the situation, but she also bought our Huo family valuable time to respond. Miss should be credited for this incident."
Upon hearing this, Madam Ning was secretly surprised.
She had to shift her gaze to the man in front of her who gave her a strong sense of oppression from beginning to end. Although the man in front of her was still young, his handsome face was still eye-catching.
However, as the God of War of Great Xia, he exuded an iron-blooded aura forged through years of battle and battle, which inevitably made her, a woman from a prominent family, feel a little bit of fear.
However, what surprised Mrs. Ning was that Huo Tingye's tone was so gentle and soft at this moment, which made her originally anxious heart calm down a little.
Mrs. Ning's face unconsciously revealed her pride in her daughter.
After all, her daughter has always been well-behaved and sensible, and has never caused her too much trouble.
In such a critical situation just now, she, a person who had lived for most of her life, was already frightened, but she did not expect that Qingwu could remain calm and handle it so well.
It should be noted that the Ningyuan Marquisate has always been a staunch royalist and has always been loyal to the current emperor.
However, as time went by, the emperor gradually grew old and weak, and the princes in the court began to fight openly and secretly, all trying to ascend the supreme throne.
Under such a complex and changing situation, the power of Ningyuan Marquis Mansion inevitably declined.
It was for this reason that the Ning family came up with the idea of forming an alliance with the powerful Anguo Mansion, hoping that in this way, they could at least ensure that Qingwu would enjoy a life of wealth and glory.
But then again, no matter how prominent the Anguo Mansion may be, it can never be compared with the Huo family.
You must know that in the eyes of both His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty, the Huo family is a highly respected and sought-after prestigious family.
They were not only close ministers to the emperor, but also held heavy military power and enormous authority.
Even the emperor himself was wary of the powerful military force under his command and did not dare to make any moves easily.
Huo Tingye's abilities and charm since childhood made the Huo family army only recognize Huo Tingye.
If I could get the Huo family's gratitude and approval, what would that mean...
Madam Ning was about to express her gratitude to Huo Tingye humbly, but what Huo Tingye said next made her stunned and at a loss.
"Mrs. Ning." Huo Tingye's voice gradually became deeper and more serious.
He paused briefly, then continued, "There has long been an unwritten rule in this dynasty. Unmarried women must not remove their veils before marriage, let alone reveal their true faces. This is because only their future husbands have the right to remove this veil."
Having said that, he narrowed his eyes slightly and looked deeply at Madam Ning and Qingwu beside her.
"Although the situation was extremely critical just now, I was still able to remove Miss Ning's veil with my own hands. Furthermore, the incident happened suddenly, and I certainly failed to consider the proper etiquette and boundaries between men and women."
"therefore......"
Amidst everyone's dumbfounded and unbelievable expressions, Huo Tingye still had a stern and serious look on his face, and said the following words in a serious tone.
"Mr. Huo is willing to take on this responsibility and marry Miss Ning."
“…”
What?
Mrs. Huo's eyes darkened for a moment.
She knew her son very well. If he didn't really have feelings for her, why would he go through so much trouble to get him to do something like that?
Repeatedly emphasizing that the situation is critical and that we must touch the person?
And let alone the touch just now in a critical situation, if Huo Tingye himself didn't want to -
With his ability and wisdom, he could come up with thousands of ways to rescue Qingwu smoothly without touching the other person.
She said that when she saw the boy looking at the girl just now, there was something wrong with his eyes, he was staring at her.
It's like fighting on the battlefield, seeing the eyes of the prey that is determined to catch it, and not wanting to let go.
But it's a little different.
There is a bit more lingering sadness that makes people blush and heartbeat.
What is this?
The son finally found someone he liked, but it turned out to be a woman who had just been engaged.
Although his Huo family is powerful, there is absolutely no reason for them to snatch someone else's fiancée.
After all, they are not destined to be together...
Thinking of this, Mrs. Huo couldn't help but tremble in her heart. Could it be that the words in the fortune stick she had just drawn really came true?
......'Forcing things will only bring more worries, and rowing against the current will only bring endless suffering'?
Mrs. Huo was thinking about how to smooth things over and resolve the awkward situation, but she saw Qingwu react very quickly. She just bowed slightly and saluted lightly and gracefully.
Qingwu said softly, "General, I would like to thank you for your kindness and for saving me. Your words are too kind. I really cannot bear them."
The beautiful woman bowed gracefully, like a blooming lotus, and the eyes of Huo Tingye, who had a heart as hard as steel, gradually softened.
However, the beauty's next words were like a basin of ice water poured over his head, instantly making Huo Tingye feel like he was falling into an ice cellar.
She only whispered softly, "What I just did was just my duty. After all, it also concerns my own life. I really don't deserve such high praise from the general."
"What's more, the general's words 'responsibility' have made this servant even more uneasy. To be honest, I have already been engaged, and there is absolutely no way I can discuss marriage with General Huo now."
At this point, Qing Wu paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and then continued, "General Huo is a pillar of the country. He is responsible and accountable. This is something everyone knows. But A Wu also does not want to be an irresponsible and treacherous person."
"What happened today was purely accidental. Although there are unwritten rules, the situation was urgent and we had no choice. Awu believes that Awu's future husband will understand the reasons behind this."
After she finished speaking, Qing Wu slowly raised her head, her clear and moving eyes looking directly at Huo Tingye without dodging, and continued: "Marriage is a matter of vital importance to any woman. It concerns the happiness and peace of her life."
"Therefore, Awu must not rashly decide her own lifelong affairs just because of the simple word 'responsibility'. Besides, Awu really can't bear to delay the general because of this..."
Qingwu's voice was as gentle as the gurgling of water, yet it contained a sense of determination, as if every word was spoken from her mouth after careful consideration, clear and firm, leaving no room for doubt.
