[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

While the Shun'an Marquis's Mansion was unable to take care of itself, the entire Anguo Duke's Mansion was also in dire straits.

"Have you heard? It's said outside that our Fifth Young Master has fallen in love with the Princess of Anyang County!"

"Really? Why would the Fifth Young Master like the Princess of Anyang County?"

"Of course not. I was serving in the garden that day and saw it clearly. The Fifth Young Master's eyes never left the County Lady from beginning to end."

"Wow, is the Fifth Young Master really going to marry the Princess of Anyang County?"

"The Princess of Anyang is not an easy person to get along with. What should we do if she really marries in?"

"That's right. He's a ruthless character who dares not even give face to Princess Lingchuan and the Third Prince! Can we still have a good life in the future?"

"Not only that, I heard that Princess Anyang also likes to beat people! Previously, she beat three noble ladies in public at the flower banquet at Shun'an Marquis's Mansion. Even the niece of the imperial concubine was beaten!"

"Ah! The county lady likes to beat people!?? Wuuwuwu, please bless me, Lord Buddha, please don't let the fifth young master really marry the county lady!"

……

In just a few days, the servants of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion began to feel uneasy and anxious.

Old Madam Zheng naturally heard the rumors outside and saw the unrest of the servants in the mansion, so she decided to cut the Gordian knot and finalize Xu Changping's marriage.

"The academy is closed today, is Xiaowu at home?"

Old Madam Zheng called her second daughter-in-law, Liu, to the main room early in the morning.

"Yes." Liu replied quickly.

"That's good. Call him over quickly. He must give an explanation today. We can't let him get away with it so easily." Madam Zheng looked serious.

"Mother, did you ask Xiaowu to come here for his marriage?" Liu asked hesitantly.

Madam Zheng glanced at Liu with dissatisfaction, "What else could it be for? People are saying that your son has fallen in love with Princess Anyang."

Liu looked at Madam Zheng's unhappy expression, hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Mother, if Xiaowu really likes that Princess Anyang, why don't we help him?"

Madam Zheng glared at Liu with hatred, "Do you really want the Princess of Anyang as your daughter-in-law?"

Liu was the one who opposed it most fiercely at the beginning, but now she is also the one who is the fastest to relax. She is really a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

On the contrary, she, although she had thought that marrying a county lady was nothing, at most she could be trained well after entering the house, but when the time came, she was the one who could not accept it the most.

Now the mansion is in chaos with just a little disturbance. She can imagine that if the lady from Anyang County really marries in, the Duke's mansion will definitely be in chaos.

Liu moved her lips and finally said reluctantly, "I don't want it. But if Xiaowu likes it, I can bear it. At worst, when the county lady comes into the family, I will give in to her and worship her as a bodhisattva. As long as she can make Xiaowu live happily in the future, even if I have to respect her as my mother-in-law, I am happy."

Upon hearing this, Madam Zheng became unhappy and shouted angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Mrs. Liu was not afraid of Madam Zheng. She said to herself, "Xiaowu's life is ruined. If he can't even get a marriage that satisfies him, I, I feel sorry for him! Wuuuu..." As she spoke, Mrs. Liu started crying again.

Old Madam Zheng sighed, it was all because of Wang’s words “Xiaowu only has one good leg”!

Originally, Liu was very excited and wanted to find a daughter-in-law for her son that she would be satisfied with. However, because of Wang's reminder, Liu completely changed her mind.

Now, as long as her son likes it, no one can stop him.

"Oh, forget it. Don't cry anymore. I promise you, as long as Xiaowu likes it, no matter who it is, I won't stop him. Is that okay?" Old Madam Zheng compromised.

"Really?!" Mrs. Liu wiped her tears and looked at Mrs. Zheng in surprise. After receiving a positive answer, she said happily, "Then mother, I will go and call Xiaowu right away."

Having said that, he quickly walked out the door.

Seeing Liu walking away, Old Madam Zheng couldn't help but shook her head. She wanted to remind her to just ask a little maid to go, but she swallowed the words back.

A quarter of an hour later, Liu came back with Xu Changping.

After entering the door, without waiting for Xu Changping to salute, Madam Zheng waved her hand and said, "Don't salute, come and sit down."

"Thank you for your consideration, Grandma."

Xu Changping bowed respectfully and then walked to the seat next to Liu and sat down.

"I wonder why my grandmother asked me to come here?"

When his mother Liu went to call him before, she was very mysterious and only said that it was a good thing that would make his wish come true. She didn't say anything else and just urged him to come to the main room.

At this moment, he was still a little confused.

Madam Zheng didn't beat around the bush and said straight to the point: "It's been several days since the Pinming Banquet. It's time to finalize your marriage."

Xu Changping was startled, then said calmly: "Everything is up to grandma and mother."

Before Madam Zheng could say anything, Madam Liu spoke up anxiously, "How can we make the decision on such a matter? You are the one marrying a wife, so of course you have to marry someone you like! This is the person who will accompany you for the rest of your life!"

Madam Zheng looked at Liu helplessly, shook her head, and added: "Your mother and I have already discussed this matter. As long as it is your choice, no matter who it is, we will agree."

Xu Changping looked at Madam Zheng hesitantly, then at Liu, and finally said, "Forget it. Grandmother and mother will decide on this matter."

Seeing Xu Changping's expression, Liu couldn't help herself and blurted out, "What can't you say? Aren't you attracted to the Princess of Anyang? Your grandmother and I both agree on this!"

Xu Changping's eyes were smiling, but his face showed shock. He asked in disbelief, "Even if the person I like is the Princess of Anyang County, is it okay?"

"Okay!" Liu said affirmatively.

Old Madam Zheng also nodded at Xu Changping to show her agreement.

"Even if the county princess has a bad reputation and is not tolerated by many aristocratic families in the capital, is it okay?" Xu Changping asked again.

"Okay!" Liu's tone was still affirmative.

Madam Zheng nodded again.

"Even if marrying the county princess means endless troubles, and perhaps even unrest in the mansion, which is incompatible with the low-key and restrained style of our Anguo Mansion, is it okay?" Xu Changping asked for the third time.

The responses he received were still affirmative from Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zheng.

At this point, Xu Changping finally smiled after a long time.

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zheng also smiled with relief. After so many years, this was the first time that Xiaowu laughed so happily.

However, the next moment, the two were dumbfounded.

Then Xu Changping said with a smile: "In that case, please ask grandmother and mother to send someone to Shun'an Marquis's Mansion to propose marriage."

What!!??

What did they hear???

Where did Xiaowu talk about going to propose marriage? ? ?

Shunan Marquis Mansion!! ? ?

The Shun'an Marquis' Mansion has only one concubine daughter, the fifth child, named Yun Shu!

On the day of the banquet, I stood beside Princess Anyang...

Wait, could it be that the person Xiao Wu was watching from beginning to end that day was not Princess Anyang at all, but Miss Yun Wu who was beside Princess Anyang? ? ?

Madam Zheng and Mrs. Liu looked at each other, and suddenly the truth came to them.
