At this moment, Xu Chaoqian understood why Xu Rongrong insisted on getting married in Zhuxiang Yayuan.

It wasn't that she thought it was troublesome to move back and forth, nor that the location of Xu's house was inconvenient, nor was she afraid of causing trouble to her father as a whole.

What she wants is the power to dominate everything.

In Zhuxiang Yayuan, everyone must follow her rules.

This is her home court, because the people in charge of her affairs here are the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Rites, and Mrs. Shangshu...

And he was just her biological father in name only.

So, when Xu Rongrong leaned down to say goodbye under the guidance of Xi Niang, he gritted his back teeth and said: "Hello, you are very kind..."

Xu Rongrong, who was wearing a happy face, smiled brightly: "Thank you very much, father."

"The Xu family is your backing, and your father is the one who can make decisions for you." Xu Chaoqian lowered his voice and said dullly.

"My daughter does not dare to ask for anything, and she has never asked for anything." Xu Rongrong's voice was neither slow nor urgent. "Today's bow is to thank my father for his kindness in life. After this bow, the kindness between my daughter and the Xu Mansion ends here."

Xu Chaoqian was so angry that he was shaking all over: "You...you...do you think that by marrying into the Marquis's house, you no longer need to support your father?"

This is the first confrontation between the Xu family's father and daughter.

Xu Chaoqian never expected that the eldest daughter, who had no protection from her biological mother and was weak and could be bullied, would tear off all her masks in front of everyone on today's occasion, even in front of her future husband? !

Wasn't she worried that Marquis Weiyuan would break off the engagement on the spot with her appearance?

It turns out that he thought too much.

Because as soon as he finished speaking, he heard Mu Rong say indifferently: "My father-in-law is wrong. In addition to being the eldest daughter of Xu Mansion, Rong Rong is also the lord of Ping'an County personally named by His Majesty. Everything about the county lord Whatever she does, the royal family will support her."

Xu Chaoqian: "..."

Before he could think of how to refute, the guests outside were divided into two rows——

The reward from the palace has arrived.

The prince and his wife sang in front of the hall with the reward from the empress: "Xu Rongrong, the Lord of Ping'an County, is gentle, courteous and thrifty. He has given two sets of gold and jade heads and faces, one night-bright pearl, one bunch of seven-dyed incense, and ten pieces of Shu embroidery and Su embroidery..."

After that, the six-carrying box carved with golden phoenixes was placed in front of the hall.

This is not over yet, His Majesty's reward follows closely.

Eunuch Yao personally came forward holding a gold and jade box: "Your Majesty has granted you a place in Jiangnan Grain House and a place in Beiyuan Summer Manor..."

Contained in the box are the land deeds of two Zhuangzi properties.

The rewards in the palace are precious, but the people who come to reward them represent dignity.

Being able to have the leading eunuch around the emperor come out of the palace to award the reward in person is enough to show that the palace is interested in this marriage, and it also verifies what Mu Rong said just now that there are people supporting her.

Xu Chao knelt down to receive the reward. When he raised his head, his face had fallen.

His eyes swept through the crowd. His son, whom he wanted to promote to the powerful, had now been squeezed into a corner, and no one cared about him.

Joy played, and Xu Rongrong bid farewell to Zhuxiang Yayuan accompanied by Mu Rong.

The moment she stepped out of the threshold, beside her was his deep voice: "Rongrong, come with me."

……

The wedding sedan landed in front of the gate of Weiyuan Hou Mansion.

Mu Rong's warm palm wrapped her little hand, and he carefully led her across the brazier and into the gate of Weiyuan Hou Mansion.

In her previous life, she was carried into the side door on a small sedan.

There was no grand ceremony, no one even greeted.

In this life, he will not let the situation in his previous life happen again!

The wedding hall of the Hou Mansion was decorated with great excitement, and all the members of the clan who had just gone with Mu Rong to welcome the bride were surrounding the wedding hall.

Under the auspices of the Ministry of Etiquette, Xu Rongrong finished the ceremony in a confused and confused manner.

Then she was led into the bridal chamber by Xiniang in a confused and confused state.

"The County Lord, please sit here for a while. The Marquis will be here soon." There was an indescribable ambiguity in Xiniang's tone.

Soon, she, Wen Yaoluoshu, master and servant were the only three people left in the room.

"The phoenix crown is so heavy, can the young lady still bear it?" Wen Yao asked with some distress.

"Yeah." After a day of pushing, Xu Rongrong's neck was already stiff.

"Why don't you take it off and take a rest first?" Luo Shu suggested in a low voice, "It won't be too late to put it on again when the Marquis comes."

"You idiot..." Wen Yao glared at her, "How could you even come up with such a bad idea?"

"Then what should we do!" Luo Shu pouted.

"The slave is helping the young lady hold the phoenix crown. Would you like to rest for a while and then have something to eat?" Wen Yao asked Xu Rongrong in a low voice.

"No need..." Xu Rongrong waved her hand, "I'm not so squeamish."

Just as he was speaking, the door was opened.

Xu Rongrong was covered with a scarf and didn't know who was coming. She only heard Luo Shu's slightly surprised voice: "Master Hou?"

Xu Rongrong was startled when he heard this: Shouldn't he be taking care of the clan nobles at the moment? Why are he here now?

Mu Rong's footsteps slowly stopped beside her: "Isn't your neck sore?"

Before Xu Rongrong could answer, the next moment Xipa was picked apart by a steelyard.

Her bright eyes met Mu Rong's smiling eyes.

This kind of stare made her feel a little dazed.

Mu Rong turned around and looked at Wen Yao and Luo Shu: "You two have worked hard today. Let's go down and have a rest first."

"But Miss..." Wen Yao whispered.

"I will take care of it myself."

Wen Yao wanted to say something else, but Luo Shu pulled his sleeve.

So the two girls withdrew.

There were only two of them left in the room, and Xu Rongrong couldn't help but become cautious.

She didn't know where to put her eyes, so she simply lowered her head.

The next moment, she felt a lightness on her head.

He took off the phoenix crown and held it upright in his hands.

Xu Rongrong was a little confused: "How can Mr. Hou be so skilled?"

Mu Rong smiled and said: "Of course you need to be more skilled to serve my wife."

Xu Rongrong blushed at what he said. This was not the first time she had seen Mu Rong's scorching gaze, but it never made her feel as uneasy as it did today.

She subconsciously grasped the brocade quilt under her body.

Mu Rong was afraid of scaring her, so he took a step back and said, "I've been hungry all day. Do you want some snacks?"

Xu Rongrong glanced at the four-color pastries on the table and nodded.

She was indeed hungry.

Mu Rong turned around and brought it for her. Xu Rongrong picked up a piece of red bean cake and took a bite.

It's sweet and glutinous, and instantly delicious.

There was a trace of bean paste on the corner of her mouth, and Mu Rong subconsciously raised his hand to wipe it away for her.

But when the fingertips touched her cheek, it seemed as if she was stuck, and she couldn't bear to leave anymore.

Xu Rongrong looked up at him with some confusion: "Master Hou?"

Looking at the person who was thinking about him day and night, and listening to this sweet whisper, Mu Rong couldn't bear it any longer.

He lowered his head and kissed her deeply.

The red bean cake in Xu Rongrong's hand slipped, and she was overwhelmed by the sudden passion and fell on the bed, letting him devour it unscrupulously.
