MTL - Court Marriage-Chapter 92 Fanwai: Can't marry? (superior)

On September 18, the eighth year of Qianwu's reign, the birthday of the eldest miss and the eldest son of the Qiao family's Dongfu, but the atmosphere in the whole house was very heavy, and no guests were invited to drink, because the mistress of the Dongfu, Mrs. Yang, was seriously ill. , things are a little bit worse now.

"How is Madam now? Wasn't it already stable when I entered the palace, why is it suddenly bad?"

After receiving the notification from his family in the afternoon, Qiao Yingxuan hurried back as soon as it was time for the next duty. When he walked into the bedroom and saw the maid in the back room greeted him, he walked over and asked in a low voice.

Since the autumn of the fourth year of Qianwu, Yang Yingmo has had difficulty giving birth to her third son, Qiao Minli, and her body is completely unable to conceive again. For this reason, Yang Yingmo is very worried and sensitive. After all, her parents' family is not on good terms with her husband's family, so she is afraid of making her husband's family dislike it. , I was worried that Qiao Yingxuan would take a concubine and a maid for his children, so he was really nervous and sad for a while, but for Qiao Yingxuan to have these three sons and one daughter is already a great blessing, so I can only be grateful to Yang Yingmo. There will be a little bit of disgust, and the old lady also feels pity for her, so under the careful care of her family, Yang Yingmo slowly recovered her spirits.

It's a pity that the body of the confinement confinement can't be fully recovered. After all, the root cause of physical weakness and easy disease has fallen. This is not a cold after the autumn cold this year.

"Go back to my lord, my wife had already subsided with a fever yesterday. In the afternoon, my maiden's wife came... I took Miss Yang Wu and talked to my wife for a while. After they left, my wife kept wiping away her tears. The medicine doesn't go away either, and I won't be able to get up this afternoon."

The girl who answered the question was taken by Yang Yingmo after she entered Beijing. After Yang Yingmo's original dowry maids were all released, she was the most trusted by Yang Yingmo, and she was also the most loyal to Yang Yingmo, so she mentioned Yang Yingmo's story at this time. The mother and sister couldn't help but show some resentment in their expressions.

"They... Forget it, I'll go in and see Madam."

Hearing Qi'er mentioning his mother-in-law, Qiao Yingxuan could not help frowning slightly, then turned and entered the back room.

Although he can understand the Yang family's concerns, isn't it just to add to her trouble by talking to the patient at this time?

"Madam, don't get up, take a good rest."

As soon as she walked into the bedroom full of medicine smells, Qiao Yingxuan saw Yang Yingmo holding her arms and wanted to get up, and hurriedly walked over to support her shoulders, but seeing Yang Yingmo shaking her head and insisting on getting up, she had to let Qier cushion her behind her. He supported her with thick pillows and cushions, and then helped her to lean, and carefully covered her with the quilt.

"Master..."

There was a morbid flush on her pale face, Yang Yingmo looked at Qiao Yingxuan's gentle actions in front of her, and remembered her mother's worries and bitterness. Tears filled her red and swollen eyes.

"Don't cry, if you don't relax and take good care of it, how is your body doing?"

Taking the handkerchief that Qi'er handed over to wipe Yang Yingmo's tears, Qiao Yingxuan couldn't help feeling sorry for her when she saw her fragile and aggrieved appearance.

They have been married for ten years, and maybe they have no love for each other, but the family and dependence that have been with each other for ten years is already very deep, and no matter what Yang Yingmo thinks of their Qiao family, they have never lost her as a daughter-in-law, As a wife and mother, Qiao Yingxuan also sincerely hopes that she will get better and continue to live a good life under her protection.

"Xianggong, Yiyue and his four siblings are the lifeblood of the concubine, and the concubine really can't worry about them, even if it is to make the concubine feel at ease, Xianggong, you...you agree."

With effort, she raised her hand to cover Qiao Yingxuan's hand, Yang Yingmo was really reluctant, but as her mother said, the Qiao family is now in good health, and if she really goes, the family who wants to marry Qiao Yingxuan will There is too much to go, there is a saying that if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. If Qiao Yingxuan married someone who was taller than he was born in the future, then how should his children live in this family? like…

"Madam, don't say these unlucky words. Even if there is such a day, I, Qiao Yingxuan, will never marry another woman in my life, and I will not let the children suffer in the slightest!"

Qiao Yingxuan held her thin and weak hand in the palm of his hand, looked into her eyes and made a sincere promise.

Since he can't marry the person he loves, then he will never get married again for the rest of his life, and that person can resist not marrying a concubine all the time, so what's the pressure on him?

Besides, the older brother and the third younger brother in the family have great futures, so you don't need to worry about yourself. You are a martial artist. How can you be as important as your beloved one?

"Master, you..."

Hearing that Qiao Yingxuan made such a promise, Yang Yingmo couldn't help looking at him in shock and blankness. Her heart was filled with joy and sorrow for a while, and her tears couldn't stop rolling down. She just felt that she could have such a husband in her life. It's worth it, but I regret being reserved and saving face in the past. I always feel that he Xiwuyanwen is a rude person, and he refuses to take the initiative to show affection to him. I really owe him a lot.

"So, Madam, since you can't bear the children, take good care of them by yourself. Don't ask me to marry your concubine."

Seeing that Yang Yingmo was crying and smiling, and the person seemed to be a little more energetic than before, Qiao Yingxuan was secretly relieved, and asked Qi'er to take good care of Yang Yingmo, then turned and left to go to her grandmother's place to be safe.

When Qiao Yingxuan arrived in the old lady's yard, the old lady was instructing the maids to set up the hall. Although Yang Yingmo's illness did not give the great-grandchildren a birthday party, it was still important to invite the family to have a meal together, while Qiao Yingze and Zhang Lin and the others hadn't come because they were on duty, but Qiao Minyan and the others, who were studying in the Gong family together, came directly after school.

"The children can play by themselves first, Ying Xuan, come in with your grandmother."

Asking the maid to follow her with four-year-old Qiao Minli in her arms, the old lady went back to her room with Qiao Yingxuan's help, sat down on the couch in the outer room, and put the well-behaved Qiao Minli in her arms. , and then asked the maids to retreat.

Unlike the shy and delicate eldest son Qiao Minren and the lively and clever second son Qiao Minyi, the third son Qiao Minli is quiet and extremely intelligent, and it may be because of dystocia. As a child, and because of Yang Yingmo's poor health, he has been raised in front of the old lady, but he has really become the apex of the old lady.

"Ying Xuan, listen to the in-law's wife, you are going to refuse to marry the fifth young lady of the Yang family to fill in the house. Grandma wants to ask, what are your thoughts?"

Greeting Qiao Yingxuan to sit beside her, the old lady looked at his increasingly valiant and bright face, and patted the back of his hand lovingly.

Although the old lady also cherished Yang Yingmo and hoped that she would get better, but after all, it was about her grandson's future. In ancient times, men married their sister-in-law to fill in the house, so that they were not afraid of the children being wronged, and they could continue the relationship of in-laws, so it was almost a practice. Now that Qiao Yingxuan directly refused, there must be a reason.

When the lady of the Yang family came to visit yesterday, the old lady also saw the fifth girl with her own eyes. Although she was only fifteen years old this year, she was thirteen years younger than Qiao Yingxuan, but she was handsome and had a quiet and docile temperament. She was raised since childhood. The one who is beside the first-mother, looks close to the same. , so no matter from which point of view, she is the best candidate for Qiao Yingxuan's succession.

"Grandmother, the granddaughter-in-law is still talking about these things. It seems a little too ruthless. Even if she is really unfortunate, the grandson will mourning for her for a year, and the matter of marrying and filling the house will not be too late."

Qiao Yingxuan was able to promise Yang Yingmo that she would not marry again, but she couldn't say it directly in front of the old lady, for fear that the old family would not accept the decision, so she could only delay it as much as possible, and then slowly get her understanding later.

"You can wait for three or five years. The girl can't do it. That girl's grandmother looks pretty good, but if you really don't want to marry the Yang family, the grandmother will make it clear for you. It's nothing to complain about yourself. Don't delay the marriage of other girls."

Although the old lady is almost seventy, she is still shrewd. She can't see that Qiao Yingxuan is shirking, and she can't help but wonder if he has someone in his heart, otherwise the Yang family would not have just tried to ask him what he meant. Rejected without hesitation.

If the Yang family hadn't seen his attitude so resolute, they thought that he was dissatisfied with the Yang family, and would not have let Mrs. Yang come to test it like this, which would have made Yang Yingmo very sad.

"Grandmother, grandson really doesn't want to marry the Yang family anymore, so I'll trouble grandmother to push for grandson."

When Qiao Yingxuan heard the words, he quickly climbed up the pole. Anyway, he didn't like the Yang family at first. At first, he was so cold to his own family. They are so willing to let a fifteen-year-old girl be a stepmother to their nine-year-old children.

"Good grandson, tell your grandmother honestly, do you have someone in your heart? Grandma doesn't ask you to marry Gaozhi, just for the sake of the children, and you have to cherish your reputation."

The old lady looked at Qiao Yingxuan's eyes and probed his words. You must know who the girls from good families don't hide deeply these days. She is afraid that some bad reputation will affect the marriage. Therefore, if it is a woman that Qiao Yingxuan likes, there are ten reasons. It wouldn't be of a serious background. If it was a safe one, Qiao Yingxuan could accept him as a concubine, but it was absolutely impossible to marry or fill a house.

"Grandma... don't worry, I can't marry him."

Qiao Yingxuan reflexively wanted to deny it, but looking at the old lady's loving face, he couldn't bear to deceive her with more lies, so he could only pass it on with a wry smile.

"Can't get married? You don't like a married woman... Could it be a man?"

Qiao Yingxuan's words surprised the old lady. The first thing she thought was that Qiao Yingxuan liked someone else's daughter-in-law, but then she thought that her grandson was not such a willful person, so she immediately rejected this speculation, and then thought that it might be Man, her heart was beating fast, and she felt a little dizzy.

"Grandma, grandma, don't get excited, don't get excited."

Seeing this, Qiao Yingxuan hurriedly took care of the old lady, and secretly wondered why she couldn't bear it so much, but the good brother said that the old lady had "high blood pressure", so you must not be angry.

"Ying Xuan, tell your grandmother, are you..."

The old lady filtered through Qiao Yingxuan's close friends. The first thing that popped out of her mind was the one who had the highest status and who had not married so far. Combined with Qiao Yingxuan's phrase 'can't marry', the old lady caught Qiao Yingxuan with a little trembling. Hand, in his palm wrote a word 'loyalty'.

"grandmother…"

Qiao Yingxuan's eyes turned red, holding the old lady's hand and nodding, neither shaking his head nor shaking his head, he really wanted to punch himself hard, and honestly continue to hide it, so why not talk nonsense about those who don't have it?

"Water, water... You bastard, who is that person, you dare to provoke, you are playing with fire!"

The old lady panted heavily and stretched out her hand to the couch. After Qiao Yingxuan brought her the water, she hurriedly took two sips. Seeing Qiao Yingxuan, she became angry and slapped him on the back twice, only to see him red. With her eyes pitiful, she didn't dare to move. The old lady couldn't help but soften her heart again. She pointed at Qiao Yingxuan angrily but was reluctant to fight again.

She is not that unreasonable, otherwise she would not have let her eldest grandson marry a man to fill the house, but unexpectedly, the second grandson is not as good as it is. If it spreads out, not to mention how Qiao Yingxuan will be viewed by others, will the royal family really want to be with him? There is a saying that the prestige of heaven is unpredictable, and the prestige of His Royal Highness is also extraordinary!

"Old Ancestor, don't hit Daddy, don't hit Daddy, Li'er touch, Daddy doesn't hurt, doesn't hurt..."

Xiao Minli, who was frightened by the two, hugged the old lady's beating arm with tears in her eyes. After seeing the old lady's hand, she turned around and hugged Qiao Yingxuan's shoulders, touching and blowing on his back childishly.

Although he didn't understand how his father made his ancestors angry, he couldn't bear to be beaten by his father, he was about to cry, it must be painful.
