Chapter 507 Adopting a Daughter
Huo Yi looked a little solemn. He couldn't help but feel excited when he thought about following such a master to do great things.
When His Highness aspires for the throne, he and his father will be the meritorious officials who have followed the emperor.
"However, during the time when His Highness secretly left the capital on the pretext of illness, many officials could not help but secretly contact Prime Minister Liu and Marquis Yongyi. From the information we have collected, I'm afraid the situation is not good." Huo Yi frowned.
Secretly contacting Prime Minister Liu and Marquis Yongyi is just a sign of his intention to surrender.
The Eighth Prince hasn't fallen yet, but these people are already impatient to retreat. It's simply shameless.
Lu Xiang: "That's fine. It's a good opportunity to discard the dross and keep the essence."
Huo Yi blinked blankly, then suddenly realized and said: "So I'm not afraid of them making a move, I'm just afraid that those people won't make big enough moves. When Your Highness comes back, those officials who secretly contacted Prime Minister Liu and Marquis Yongyi will not be reused by Your Highness."
"Yes." Lu Xiang took a sip of tea and said, "Recently, I have sent people to keep a close eye on Liu Xiang and Xiao Muheng."
Huo Yi nodded: "Yes, Third Miss."
"I'll go back first. If you have any news about His Highness, please tell me as soon as possible." Lu Xiang said.
Huo Yi: "Okay."
Lu Xiang stayed for a while and then left and returned to the Lu Mansion.
The sun was shining brightly, and even the cold winter wind was less biting.
At the gate of Lu Mansion, there was an exquisite and luxurious carriage parked.
Lu Xiang took a curious look and walked towards the mansion. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Manager Du bowing to her with a smile: "Your servant greets the Third Miss."
It looked as if he had been waiting for her here.
Lu Xiang nodded: "Is there anything wrong with Manager Du?"
"Miss Third is very smart. Please move to the main hall. Duke Anguo has been waiting for a long time." Steward Du said with a smile.
Lu Xiang looked at him in confusion: "Duke Anguo is looking for me? What did he say?"
As she spoke, she followed Manager Du to the main hall.
Manager Du walked beside Lu Xiang and replied respectfully, "Miss San, Duke Anguo came to visit the master and the old lady today, saying that he wanted to adopt Miss San as his adopted daughter."
Lu Xiang was stunned: "Ah?"
An Guogong recognized her as his adopted daughter?
this……
She has never had any contact with Duke Anguo.
Why did he suddenly come to the Lu family to adopt her as his adopted daughter?
Seeing Chu Xiang's stunned look, Manager Du smiled so hard that his teeth were showing, thinking that his young lady was stunned by this sudden good news.
Isn't that a good thing?
Duke Anguo.
She holds a large number of troops, her younger sister is the current empress, and she comes from a powerful and distinguished family. It is amazing that the Third Miss was favored by the Duke of Anguo and adopted as his daughter. From now on, the Third Miss can be considered half a daughter of the Duke's Mansion.
"Miss Third, let's go quickly so as not to keep Duke Anguo waiting for too long." General Manager Du said.
Lu Xiang came back to his senses: "Okay."
With doubts, Lu Xiang walked into the main hall.
The old lady sat at the top, and next to her sat the Duke of Anguo.
"Grandma, Dad." Lu Xiang called.
Then he bowed to Duke Anguo and said, "Greetings, Duke Anguo."
The Duke of Anguo is in his early forties this year. He has an elegant and handsome appearance, a pair of sword-like eyebrows, and the brilliance that inadvertently flashes in his eyes makes people dare not underestimate him.
"No need to be polite." He smiled and nodded slightly at Lu Xiang.
Lu Xiang stood in the middle of the hall and heard Lu Youping laughing:
"Xiangxiang, the Duke wants to adopt you as his adopted daughter, and he came to discuss this with me and your grandmother today."
From his proud tone, one might think, if one didn't know, that he was adopted as the son of the Duke of Anguo.
"Of course, the most important thing is that you are willing." The old lady looked at Lu Xiang lovingly and said.
Lu Xiang glanced at the old lady, and then his doubtful eyes fell on the Duke of Anguo: "Can I have a few words with the Duke of Anguo alone?"
Duke Anguo smiled and nodded: "Of course."
Having said that, he stood up and walked out of the hall.
Lu Youping looked at his daughter's actions and his heart suddenly rose to his throat: "Daughter..." This is a great opportunity, don't be stupid.
Lu Xiang ignored Lu Youping, turned around and followed Duke Anguo out.
She chose to ignore her father's thoughts.
Lu Youping looked at the old lady anxiously: "Mother, why did you agree to let her talk to Duke Anguo alone?"
"Why don't you agree?" The old lady drank her tea calmly, glanced at her son, and said, "Don't be so hasty. Duke Anguo suddenly wants to adopt Xiangxiang as his adopted daughter. Xiangxiang wants to ask clearly. What's the problem?"
Not to mention her granddaughter's confusion, she was also puzzled.
The only explanation is probably the Queen's fault.
The queen liked Xiangxiang, so she wanted to give her a better and more honorable status and let Duke Anguo recognize her as her adopted daughter. From then on, Xiangxiang was protected by the Song family.
Moreover, if it was just based on the Lu family's status, the emperor might not agree with her relationship with the Eighth Prince. But if Xiangxiang was still the daughter of the Duke of Anguo, then her status would be a different matter.
Think about it, Song Zhenzhen, she is only the adopted daughter of Duke Anguo, but everyone in the capital recognizes her as the daughter of Duke Anguo.
The only difference is that she has been raised in the Song family since she was a child, and her status is no less noble than that of a biological child.
But then again, Xiangxiang is loved and protected by the Queen, so naturally things won't be bad for her.
Lu Youping choked when he heard what the old lady said.
What's there to ask?
Why does Duke Guan Anguo want to adopt Xiangxiang as his adopted daughter? This is always a good thing.
The Duke of Anguo is in such a high position and has so much power. What if he gets upset if he is asked too many questions?
Lu Youping was so anxious that he wanted to rush out to eavesdrop.
Just as he was about to stand up, the old lady gave him a sharp look and he sat back on the chair, afraid to move.
outside the house.
Duke Anguo walked to a deserted place, turned around and looked at Lu Xiang, and said, "If you have anything to ask, ask."
His voice was deep and had an inherent majesty.
But when facing Lu Xiang, he tried hard to restrain his fierce aura and kept his eyes gentle for fear of scaring the pretty girl in front of him.
Lu Xiang took a deep breath, suppressed the nervousness in her heart, and asked respectfully, "Can I ask why the Duke suddenly wants to take me in as his adopted daughter?"
To put it bluntly, Song Zhenzhen really hates me. Didn't she just turn a deaf ear to me when she went back?
Will Song Zhenzhen agree to the Duke of Anguo's proposal to adopt her as his adopted daughter?
As if he had expected Lu Xiang to ask this, Duke Anguo smiled and said, "The Queen came to me some time ago and mentioned this to me, but because of the war, I was too busy to spare time, so I took advantage of today's free time to come and discuss this with your father and grandmother.
The queen has no children, and it's a rare opportunity for her to have a girl she likes, but unfortunately she can't adopt her as her daughter. You don't know how regretful the queen is, but the eighth prince likes you and wants to marry you, and he came to the queen to ask for it. The queen couldn't bear it, so she gave up the idea. "
After all, a daughter-in-law is also half a daughter, so there is not much difference in calling her mother.
When Lu Xiang heard this, he felt embarrassed and confused.
What was embarrassing was that even Duke Anguo knew about her relationship with Chu Jinyan, and he did it in a joking tone...
What was confusing was that when the Queen Mother wanted to adopt her as her adopted daughter, she even mentioned Chu Jinyan.
