"Sir, someone just sent your letter from Fengcheng Post Station."
"Letter? What letter?"
On the morning of August 21st, Situ Luoyun, who had just returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion from the palace after court, had just entered the main hall in the front yard when the housekeeper Lao Xu hurried forward to report.
"Your Excellency, this letter was sent a few days ago from Fufeng County, Wuyang Prefecture, Qiandeng Province. It has been placed on the desk in your study. And, and..."
"And what?" Situ Luoyun couldn't stand the housekeeper's hesitant look.
"And the words written on the envelope look... look like the handwriting of the young master."
While Situ Luoyun wasn't looking, Old Xu wiped the sweat from her forehead. For the past three years, the topic of the eldest young master, Situ Xuanye, had been a taboo in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she was afraid of angering her master.
Situ Luoyun's eyes widened slightly when she heard this, and her hand reaching for the teacup paused as she looked towards the door with a complicated expression. She wondered when her Xuanye would return.
"Go and get the letter."
"Yes, sir."
Old Xu quickly went to the study in the backyard to get the letter, handed it to Situ Luoyun, and then left the main hall and waited outside the door.
After Situ Luoyun took the letter, she saw the six words "Personally from the Prime Minister" on it. It was indeed written in the handwriting she was very familiar with. It was indeed her eldest son Situ Xuanye.
This was the second time Xuanye had taken the initiative to write a letter to her since he ran away from home three years ago. Situ Luoyun's hands trembled slightly as he held the letter.
In order to prevent her son from marrying Xiahou Yu, Situ Luoyun went to great lengths, even openly and covertly encouraging Situ Xuanye to leave the prime minister's residence and stay away from the capital. Unfortunately, the two guards she sent to protect her son were killed by bandits.
For three years, Xuanye hadn't written back since then, except for a single letter he'd sent back to report his safety. To avoid anyone in the Xiahou Mansion noticing, Situ Luoyun rarely contacted Situ Xuanye, only knowing that he was living in seclusion in a remote village called Huaqiao Village in Fufeng County.
"Mother, your Excellency, I, your unfilial son, Xuanye, have something to report.
Three years ago, after Xuanye left the capital, he came to Huaqiao Village in Baishui Town, Fufeng County, Wuyang Prefecture, Qiandeng Province by chance. He fainted from hunger at the entrance of the village and was picked up by Hua Qingcheng who was passing by.
From then on, the unfilial son Xuanye changed his name to Situ Ye and became Hua Qingcheng's nominal second husband. Xuanye originally just wanted to live in seclusion here by borrowing her husband's identity, but he fell in love with Hua Qingcheng in his daily interactions and became her husband not long ago.
Xuanye and Hua Qingcheng will arrive in the capital soon. Then he will return to the Prime Minister's residence to apologize to his mother. Signed: "Respectfully submitted by the unfilial son Xuanye."
Although there were only a few words on this thin piece of paper, the words contained so much information. The more Situ Luoyun read, the more shocked she became. Before she knew it, the letter in her hand had quietly slipped to the ground, and her once deep and sharp eyes suddenly dimmed.
In a trance, Situ Luoyun suddenly felt a little confused, and didn't know whether his decision to let his son run away from home was right or wrong.
However, rather than letting his son marry a scumbag like Xiahou Yu, marrying him to a peasant woman does not seem so unacceptable.
only……
What the hell is this second husband?
These three short words deeply hurt Situ Luoyun's heart.
Although her son Situ Xuanye was not a stunningly handsome man, he was still the eldest son of the prime minister's family. Now he had fallen into the countryside and became the husband of a village woman. What was even more terrible was that he was the woman's second husband!
Situ Luoyun suddenly doubted whether he had seen it wrongly, so he leaned over to pick up the letter on the ground and read it again from beginning to end. After checking again and again, he found that it was indeed written as "Er Fu Lang".
Situ Luoyun felt as if struck by lightning, which meant that her son was indeed the concubine of a country woman!
She really didn't know whether to be angry or annoyed. She didn't know what kind of country woman could be so capable that she could make her arrogant son willingly become her second husband.
Never mind, children and grandchildren have their own blessings.
Situ Luoyun thought for a long time, and finally could only sigh slightly.
At worst, after meeting the man, if he is indeed a good person, she can marry Xuanye as a concubine. If he is not a good person, then she will do whatever it takes to stop this evil relationship...
"Sir, are you worried about national affairs?"
Just as Situ Luoyun's thoughts were drifting, Yuwen Tianqi, dressed in gorgeous clothes and adorned with pearls and jade, walked in from the main door of the hall with a tray holding a bowl of bird's nest porridge.
"Your Excellency was in a hurry when he got up early to attend court, and he hasn't had breakfast yet. Let's have a bowl of bird's nest porridge to warm our stomachs first."
Yuwen Tianqi placed the bird's nest porridge on the table, picked up a bowl from the tray and filled it eight-tenths full, placed it in front of Situ Luoyun, and considerately placed the spoon in the bowl.
Situ Luoyun looked at the carefully prepared bird's nest porridge on the table, and her heart softened slightly. She naturally loved her first husband the most, but when she thought about him actually going behind her back to accept the marriage proposal from the Pingxi Prince's Mansion, Situ Luoyun's anger flared up.
Situ Xuanye was Situ Luoyun's first child, and naturally, she doted on him. Thinking about how they lived a life of luxury at home, while her Xuanye endured countless hardships outside, wondering if he had enough to eat, Situ Luoyun suddenly lost her appetite.
"Retreat."
Since Xuanye would be returning soon, Situ Luoyun felt that the three-year feud with her ex-husband should finally come to an end. After all, they were husband and wife, and they couldn't treat each other like enemies forever. However, if he didn't realize the mistakes he had made, she could only wait until he repented.
