Chapter 158 The Little Queen Whose Wife Was Taken Away by the King (25)
Kan Qingwu remained silent and didn't say a word.
Huo Tingye knew in his heart that breaking off the engagement was not something Qingwu could easily decide on her own.
but......
Qingwu must have realized that An Huaiyuan was definitely not a man worthy of entrusting her life to.
And he, Huo Tingye, will overcome all difficulties and obstacles.
——Marry Qingwu as his wife.
Huo Tingye softened his tone and said softly, "Awu, you don't have to worry about anything. Just let me handle everything. I will never let you suffer even the slightest bit of gossip."
At the end, he gazed deeply into Qingwu's clear yet confused eyes, and added: "As long as you are willing."
Even if you don't want to—
She must marry him too.
Perhaps it was because the emotion in the man's eyes was too sincere, or perhaps it was because of the fledgling complex in this extremely critical situation.
Huo Tingye saved her twice.
But more importantly, it was because Rong Jinxiu had mentioned that Huo Tingye would be second only to the emperor in the future.
Qingwu finally nodded slightly, almost imperceptibly.
Huo Tingye was instantly ecstatic.
He could hardly contain his excitement, and his heart was beating violently with excitement.
“Plop, plop—”
He bent down slightly and picked up Princess Qingwu gently and quickly.
Qingwu didn't expect Huo Tingye to suddenly do this. When she was suddenly picked up, her cheeks turned red with shame and her face was full of surprise.
Huo Tingye raised his eyes, and without paying any attention to An Huaiyuan who was standing there speechless, he carefully placed Qingwu on the back of his beloved horse.
He pulled up a corner of the red cloak to cover Qingwu's beautiful face, while also protecting her firmly in his broad and warm arms.
With a light shout, he spurred his horse and galloped towards the Ning'an Marquis Mansion.
Along the way, Huo Tingye couldn't control his expression at all, his smile became more and more unbridled, and in the end——
Huo Tingye had to reach out and rub his face, which was a little stiff from smiling, and tried hard to restore himself to his usual indifferent and aloof look, with a sense of majesty without anger.
Finally, when they arrived at the gate of Ning'an Marquis Mansion, Huo Tingye took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, reached out and gently knocked on the heavy door.
Qingwu stood quietly aside, with her head slightly lowered and her face covered by a veil. One could vaguely see a barely perceptible curve at the corner of her lips.
......
?
What?
Hearing what Huo Tingye said, Ningyuan Hou, his wife, and Rong Jinxiu were all shocked and turned to look at him in disbelief.
Huo Tingye's face was as calm as water, seemingly indifferent, but his deep eyes revealed extreme seriousness and earnestness.
He looked directly at Ning Yuanhou with a determined gaze and said solemnly, "Uncle Ning, I have long been in love with your daughter Qingwu. I have come here to ask for your approval of this marriage."
"I wish to marry Awu. I hope Uncle Ning can convey this to the Duke's Mansion and arrange for Awu and An Huaiyuan to break off their engagement as soon as possible."
???
In stark contrast to An Huaiyuan, a son of an aristocratic family who enjoyed wealth and glory by relying on his hereditary title, Huo Tingye relied on his own abilities, went through countless life and death tests, and truly made a name for himself, becoming the awe-inspiring god of war of Daxia.
It took so many hardships and obstacles to achieve such great military achievements, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Not only that, he holds a large number of troops and has tremendous power. It can be said that if Huo Tingye were not loyal, it would not be difficult for him to rebel if he had any rebellious thoughts in his heart.
It is precisely because Huo Tingye possesses such powerful strength, coupled with his heart that is always loyal to the royal family, that the current emperor values him very much.
Therefore, in the entire Daxia, no family dared to provoke the Huo family easily.
For Qingwu, if she could successfully marry into the Duke's Mansion, at least she could be guaranteed a comfortable life, and their Marquis' Mansion could also take care of her.
But if she chose to marry Huo Tingye, facing Huo Tingye's strong personality, even if Ning Anhou and others wanted to protect her, they would probably be unable to do so.
Feeling the resistance from Ning'an Hou, Huo Tingye frowned slightly, but soon regained his composure.
He just clasped his fists slightly and explained what had just happened in an orderly manner.
——It focuses on describing An Huaiyuan’s cowardly behavior of being unable to bear the heavy responsibility and even having to hide behind Qingwu when encountering danger.
Such a timid and irresponsible person is simply not capable of shouldering the responsibility of protecting Qingwu.
If Qingwu were to leave the rest of her life to him, once something happened, he would probably hesitate and become a coward in the end.
How could he be worthy of being Qingwu's husband?
Ning Yuanhou was furious after hearing this. He looked at his precious daughter with heartache and his eyes were full of pity.
His beautiful daughter almost...
The look in Ningyuan Hou's eyes when he looked at Huo Tingye at this moment was no longer full of retreat as before, but a bit more gentle and grateful.
"Thank you, General, for your help. If it weren't for you, I would have been in great trouble today." Ning Yuanhou bowed in thanks.
Huo Tingye avoided this gift.
"My Lord, you are too kind. I should do my utmost to protect my future wife. That's why I came here today to ask for a status from you, My Lord." Huo Tingye brought the topic back to the top priority.
"Awu is weak and needs the protection of a great hero. An Huaiyuan is not worthy of her."
Ningyuan Hou hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke, "I have many concerns. How can the general ensure that none of these things will happen?"
"Things are unpredictable. Even if I say directly that what the Marquis is worried about will not happen, I am afraid that the Marquis will not believe it. I also know that Awu is the most precious treasure in the hearts of the Marquis and his wife. She is doted on in the Ning family."
"But for me, I can solemnly promise here that as long as Qingwu marries into my Huo family, I will let her enjoy the same love and protection, and will never let her suffer any grievances." Speaking of Qingwu, Huo Tingye's eyes were warm.
"My mother also likes her very much and will definitely love her as her own daughter. I am even more so. From the first moment I saw Awu, I may have been moved by her."
"Back in the temple, I accidentally lifted Awu's veil and wanted to take responsibility for it. But Awu was already engaged at that time, and my wife and Awu were not willing."
What? There's such a thing?
Hearing this, Ning Yuanhou was stunned and subconsciously turned to look at the lady beside him.
Madam Ning was seen frowning slightly, lost in thought.
As a woman who has experienced marriage, she sees things more deeply.
At this moment, she clearly felt the sincere affection in Huo Tingye's eyes. That kind of deep affection could not be presented by disguise.
Even she, who is over fifty years old, couldn't help but be moved by it.
