Every time I see Xie Minghui, she always looks superior. This is the first time I see her cry.
The two of them bowed to the old lady and sat down in their seats without saying a word.
The old lady was annoyed by Aunt Liu and Xie Minghui's crying. It was they who did something wrong, yet they still had the nerve to cry here.
"You know what you have done. I am saving your face by not telling you. If you continue like this, all three of you should move out. After all, you have your own houses outside, and the family was divided a long time ago."
The third wife, Mrs. Li, was watching the show at first, but when she heard what the old lady said, she immediately couldn't bear to watch the show anymore. If she continued to watch, the anger would burn herself.
"Mother, please don't argue with them. Your daughter-in-law will take them downstairs right away.
Come quickly, help Aunt Liu and the Fourth Young Miss down."
After Li finished speaking, several maids came in, helped Aunt Liu and Xie Minghui up, and carried them out.
When the old lady saw that the person had disappeared, she asked about Xie Yun's health.
"Grandma, I'm fine now. I'm well again."
"That's good. If your father hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known there were people in our house with such vicious thoughts."
"Grandma, don't be angry. Take care of yourself."
"Oh, okay, okay."
After a few more words, everyone retreated when they saw fatigue on the old lady's face.
After leaving, the Duke's wife asked Xie Yun to return to her own courtyard.
When Xie Yun returned home, she took off the hairpins on her head and asked Hongmei to comb her hair into a simple style and put on a hairpin.
Now Xie Yun is not used to wearing too many accessories on her head. Even a few accessories would make her neck tired. She now admires those who wear a lot of accessories on their heads. Even so, they don’t suffer from cervical spondylosis and she has never heard anyone say they are tired.
She also learned from Hongju's words what happened this morning. It turned out that the beans she stepped on were placed there by Xie Minghui in order to harm her, and the idea was from her aunt.
The Duke found out everything and told the old lady. The old lady said she would handle the matter, which is why what happened this morning happened.
After Xie Yun finished everything, they started to have breakfast.
Fortunately, she was not treated harshly by her stepmother, so her breakfast was still very rich.
There were four kinds of noodles, two kinds of porridge, and six mixed vegetables. Xie Yun ate them by the edges, and used a serving chopstick to put the food into a small plate before eating.
This way, the leftovers after she finishes eating can be given to the maids.
Xie Yun was having dinner here, while Qin Minghao had already entered the palace early in the morning.
The emperor was a little surprised to see Qin Minghao coming. His son had always been a silent person because of his illness.
He was even more reluctant to leave the house unless necessary, let alone go out on the street, for he was afraid that someone would bump into him and cause him to have an allergic reaction.
When Qin Minghao saw the emperor, he paid his respects to him first. The emperor asked him to sit down and asked Jinfu to serve him tea.
"What's the matter with you coming here so early today?"
"This son of yours truly has something to ask Father."
"Oh! What is it?"
"Father, I have fallen in love with a girl and would like you to grant me marriage."
The emperor was now even more curious. He had already prepared for the Thirteenth Son to remain a bachelor for his entire life, yet he suddenly came to him to arrange a marriage.
"Whose girl is this? Can you handle your allergies?"
"I also discovered this by accident yesterday. It's Xie Yun, the concubine of the Duke of Zhenguo. I accidentally touched her, but surprisingly, I didn't have an allergic reaction."
"You're really not allergic?"
"Really not"
"Will I have an allergic reaction if I keep touching it for a long time?"
"Ahem, ahem, I'm not allergic."
"How do you know? Did you try?"
"Cough, cough, cough, that..."
"Is there anything I can't tell my father?"
The emperor was even more curious at this time. His son was embarrassed. It was the first time he saw his son shy.
"Father, please don't ask."
"Tell me, I promise not to tell anyone."
"That's actually... I broke into someone's boudoir last night and pressed her acupressure points. I touched her hand to test it, and I wasn't allergic."
"You... aren't you destroying someone's innocence?"
“I know I was wrong.”
"I remember that Xie Yun, the concubine of the Duke's Mansion, hasn't reached the age of marriage yet, right? Isn't it a bit too early to grant her a marriage now? We can wait until she reaches the age of marriage."
"Father, it's getting late. If you were any later, she would have belonged to someone else."
"What's going on?"
"When I asked the secret guards to check on her yesterday, I found out that her stepmother was looking for a partner for her."
The emperor became anxious when he heard this. It had been so many years since his son met a woman who was not allergic. If he couldn't marry her, no one knew whether he would meet one again next time.
"Okay, I'll ask the Duke of Zhenguo to come over and ask him now."
The two chatted for a while and then the Duke of Zhenguo arrived.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
"Thank you, my dear, get up quickly."
When the Duke of Zhenguo stood up, he saw Prince Jing was there too. He was a little puzzled as to why the emperor wanted him here. Then he realized that he had not done anything for a while.
"Thank you, my dear Lord. I remember you have a daughter who is about to come of age."
"Your Majesty, I have a daughter who is about to reach marriage age."
"I won't beat around the bush with you. Prince Jing wants to marry your daughter. What do you think, my dear?"
When the Duke of Zhenguo heard this, he became anxious. Everyone knew that Prince Jing was ill. If his daughter married him, wouldn't that mean she would be a widow?
"Your Majesty's daughter is still young, I would like to keep her for a few more years."
The emperor also knew what the Duke of Zhenguo was thinking. If he didn't know the inside story, he would not let his daughter get married.
Qin Minghao also thought of it, and when he saw the Duke of Zhenguo refuse, he quickly spoke.
"Duke Zhenguo, I sincerely want to marry Miss Xie. Don't worry, I will marry Miss Xie as my princess. I will not let her suffer any grievances. I promise that she will be the only woman in my life."
"Your Majesty, Prince Jing, I'm telling you the truth. Everyone knows that Prince Jing has allergies. I..."
"The Duke of Zhenguo also knows that I get allergic when I touch a woman. I can try it with Miss Xie first. If I'm allergic, I won't force it. If I'm not allergic, I hope the Duke of Zhenguo can consider it."
The Duke of Zhenguo listened to what Prince Jing said and started to think that the emperor was asking him now. If the emperor granted the marriage without asking him, he would not be able to resist.
And Prince Jing's suggestion can also be tried. If he is allergic, he will have a reason to refuse, and then even the emperor will have no way to say anything.
If she wasn't allergic, marrying Prince Jing wouldn't be a bad idea. After all, Prince Jing was allergic to women. That way, there would be fewer women in the backyard, especially since Prince Jing had promised that there would only be one daughter.
If it were really just my daughter, she would be very happy.
"Okay, let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, my daughter won't marry Prince Jing."
"good"
