Get out of your vicious mother's house, and make a fortune with your husband to become a prince
Chapter 343 Return to Xue Mansion
Xue Zhong said with emotion: "Qing'er, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"
After all, Xue Zhong and Xue Qing knew each other the earliest, and her feelings towards Xue Zhong were more complicated. Their relationship was like that of friends before, and now he is the biological grandfather of this body.
Alas, I can’t deceive myself with that kind of intimacy that comes from the heart.
Xue Qing stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Grandfather."
Xue Zhong felt his nose sore when he heard Xue Qing calling him grandfather. He tried to calm down and said, "Good boy, good boy!"
Madam Wang looked at Xue Qing with tenderness in her eyes. "Qing'er, no matter what happens in the future, our family will never be separated again."
Xue Qing was also infected by the atmosphere at home at this time. She could feel the love and warmth of her family.
Perhaps this is what the original owner has always hoped for.
Xue He said: "Qing'er, I feel so ashamed of you all these years."
Xue Qing said: "Father, since I was born in the Xue family, I must put the safety of the Xue family first."
Xue Zhong and Xue He felt even more guilty when they heard Xue Qing's words.
At that time, she was just a newborn baby, and she made the decision to protect the Xue family for him.
The little person suffered so much.
The family sat together and talked a lot.
Xue Qing shared his life in Shilibao and recalled every detail of the past.
The family had their first reunion dinner together. Mrs. Wang had a smile in her eyes. She looked at the family and couldn't help but sighed: "Qing'er, you still have two brothers, but they are both in the frontier. Maybe they will come back during the Chinese New Year this year, and you can see them. They will love you very much."
Xue Qing suddenly remembered that he had met his second brother during the New Moon Festival!
She could call the old lady and the old king grandmother and grandfather, but she was not able to call Mrs. Wang mother. It would take some time.
Xue Qing smiled slightly: "A few months ago, I went to Xinyue and met Xue Jing"
When everyone heard this, they were really surprised and all looked at Xue Qing.
Seeing everyone's curious eyes, Xue Qing continued, "I didn't expect that he was my second brother. No wonder I felt so close to him when I first met him. It turns out that everything was destined!"
When Mrs. Wang heard this, her face lit up with joy and she couldn't help asking, "How is your second brother? Is he okay?"
Xue Qing comforted her and said, "Brother, it's amazing! It's also very good, don't worry"
Mrs. Wang smiled happily and finished her dinner happily.
Xue He and Wang Jingyao returned to their own yard.
Madam Wang put away her smile and said to Xue He, "My dear, your own daughter is indeed different. I finally understand the feeling of being connected to my daughter."
After saying that, he sighed again: "But why doesn't this child call me mother?"
Xue He put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Madam, we have to understand the child. After all, she has been traumatized by calling her father and mother since she was a child. Some scars need to be healed bit by bit."
The couple fell asleep in anticipation.
Xue Qing returned to the Lotus Villa. This time, Jiang Yi was directly arranged by the housekeeper to live in the east wing of the Lotus Villa. The nanny and Xiaoqing who originally lived in the east wing were arranged to live in the west wing.
The emperor heard from the guards that Xia Xueqing's personal maid had also returned to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion and moved into the Lotus Villa.
After thinking for a moment, he asked the secret guards to continue monitoring the Lotus Cottage's every move.
Wu Yu arranged Xia Xuelian in a secret room in the general's mansion.
He originally wanted to kill her outright, but thinking that he would need her as Xue Qing's substitute later, he spared her life.
Ever since the emperor met Xue Qing that day, he seemed like a different person and his temperament changed drastically.
He asked someone to sleep with him every day, as if he was trying to find a little comfort in this endless desire.
When he went to court the next day, the emperor was in low spirits and his face was full of fatigue that he could hardly hide.
With day after day of indulgence, the emperor quickly became thinner and lost his former majesty and glory.
The eldest prince Zhou Qian took the opportunity to play the role of a filial son and continuously presented beautiful women to the emperor.
Seeing the emperor becoming more and more immersed in beauty, Zhou Qian's mouth corners slightly raised, and he secretly planned his own plan in his heart.
"Father, these women were carefully selected for you, just to make you feel comfortable and happy." Zhou Qian said respectfully.
The emperor raised his eyes slightly, looked at the beauty in front of him, and showed a tired smile: "My son is thoughtful."
As the days passed, the emperor's health deteriorated. One night, when he was very awake, an inexplicable fear surged in his heart.
He knew that he did not have much time left, so he made a will.
"I have worked hard all my life, and now my time is up. I pass my throne to my eldest son, Zhou Qian. I hope he can inherit my ambition and govern the country well." The emperor wrote weakly.
Afterwards, the imperial edict was kept by Li Jun.
As a result, a month later, the emperor suddenly died.
Eunuch Li Zhun issued an edict with trembling hands: "The emperor has passed away. Here is his will. The eldest prince Zhou Qian will inherit the throne."
Although the other princes were dissatisfied, they started shouting.
"Why should he inherit the throne? We don't accept it!"
"Father must have been blinded by someone."
But they soon discovered that their power had already been secretly defeated by the eldest prince.
Zhou Qian had already set up a tight net and had taken control of the situation before they could react.
Zhou Qian, wearing a dragon robe, ascended the throne and looked at the people below with cold eyes.
"My father's last will is here. Who dares to disobey? I will govern the country well and live up to my father's expectations." Zhou Qian's voice was majestic and firm.
The other princes could only bow their heads helplessly and accept this established fact.
In the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, Xue He would come to his father Xue Zhong's study after the morning court every day. Of course, Xia Xueqing would also come here and tell them about the emperor's situation one by one.
Xue He looked solemn as he slowly recounted the changes in the palace.
"Father, son, the emperor has become more and more obsessed with beauty recently, and his health is getting worse and worse. He is also listless in the court, which is worrying," Xue He sighed.
Xia Xueqing just listened silently, but her mind was full of thoughts.
She secretly wondered whether the emperor would recognize Wu Yu. After all, Wu Yu was his biological son and the only son of the late queen.
However, until the death knell sounded, Wu Yu was not recognized by the emperor.
With the announcement of the eldest prince's accession to the throne, a bloody storm broke out in the capital.
There were always some ministers whose homes had inexplicable fires, and no one in the family was spared.
Later, some corrupt officials were uncovered. The lightest punishment was exile to the frontier, while the whole family of those guilty of serious crimes was beheaded.
The Xue family, the Duke of Zhenguo, has always been very peaceful, as if they were outside the storm.
A month later, the capital finally calmed down. On this day, the emperor summoned Xue He to the palace to discuss marrying Xia Xueqing and making her the queen.
Xue He nodded his head and agreed, and went back to discuss the marriage with his father, but his heart was full of worries.
After returning home, Xue He immediately called Xue Qing to Xue Zhong's study.
The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren sat together and began to discuss how to deal with the situation.
Xue Qing frowned slightly and said, "Grandfather, I don't want to marry him. He is a cruel man. If our Xue family marries the royal family, I'm afraid that our Xue family..."
How could the Emperor allow the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to restore its former glory? The late Emperor did everything he could to suppress the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion because the Imperial Master calculated that a legitimate daughter born into the Xue family would affect the fortunes of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so he forced the Duke of Zhenguo Xue Zhong to kill the newly born Xia Xueqing.
However, Xia Xueqing was the daughter that the Xue family had longed for, so how could they bear to kill her? Afterwards, Xue Zhong took the initiative to hand over the military seal of the Xue family army.
Afterwards, he asked Gao Yi to give Xue Qing to a farmer's family, while he himself traveled around.
Although Xue He was the successor to the Duke, he had no real power and it was just an idle position.
Xue Zhong nodded and said, "Qing'er is right. We cannot marry into the royal family. Otherwise, it will only accelerate the demise of our Xue family."
Xue He said: "The emperor suddenly brought up this matter, which was unexpected. What should we do?"
Xue Qing thought for a moment and said, "We can ask someone to invite Wu Yu over to discuss countermeasures together."
Xue He thought it made sense, so he sent someone to invite Wu Yu. Half an hour later, Wu Yu arrived at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and entered Xue Zhong's study.
The four of them sat together in a solemn atmosphere.
Wu Yu spoke first with a gloomy face: "I won't let Qing'er marry him!" Then he looked at Xue Qing.
Xue Qing looked at Wu Yu at the same time, and there was a hint of ambiguity in their glances.
Xue Qing then said firmly: "I have a plan. Let Xia Xuelian continue to pretend to be Xia Xueqing and marry the emperor."
Wu Yu was slightly stunned, then agreed: "This method is feasible! Xia Xuelian has always longed for wealth and glory, she will definitely agree."
The same was true for Xue Zhong and Xue He. They had already seen through the clues when Xia Xuelian was impersonating her.
After they finished talking, Xue Qing changed into men's clothes, disguised himself as Wu Yu's personal servant and followed him back to the general's mansion.
Xue Qing followed Wu Yu to the general's mansion and met Xia Xuelian in the dungeon.
When Xia Xuelian saw Xue Qing, there was fear and hatred in her eyes.
Xue Qing looked at Xia Xuelian and said calmly: "Xia Xuelian, Zhou Qian has ascended the throne as emperor."
After saying this, looking at her reaction, Xia Xuelian looked ferocious: "You bitch, it's all your fault. The eldest prince was originally in love with me. It's all your fault. Why don't you just die!"
Xue Qing looked at Xia Xuelian who was going crazy, shook his head, and ignored her extreme words.
Instead, he said, "Now there is an opportunity in front of you. I ask you, are you willing to continue to marry Zhou Qian as Xia Xueqing and be crowned as the queen?"
Xia Xuelian stared at Xue Qing in shock, her heart filled with surprise and joy.
She never expected there would be such an opportunity.
"Really? Can I really become the queen?" Xia Xuelian asked excitedly.
Xue Qing nodded and said, "That's right, but you have to agree to some conditions of mine."
Xia Xuelian quickly said, "I agree to any condition."
Xue Qing said: "Just remember that it was the late emperor who asked you to pretend to be me and enter the Xue family."
Xia Xuelian thought for a moment and said, "However, my appearance is very different from yours. How can I deceive the Great Emperor?"
Xue Qing looked at her and thought she was not too stupid: "Don't worry about this, I have my own way, you just need to be obedient."
Xia Xuelian hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.
After Xue Qing reached an agreement with her, he fed her a pill.
After that, Xia Xuelian looked more and more like Xue Qing.
After coming out of the general's mansion, Xia Xueqing took a little maid and got on the carriage and returned to the Zhenguo Mansion.
From then on, the old lady in Zhufeng Courtyard had a personal maid by her side, while the eldest daughter, Xia Xueqing, never left the house, waiting to get married.
The officials of the Imperial Household Department were so busy that they were running around, as they were now faced with the most important matter for the new emperor, which was to marry the queen, a daughter of the Xue family.
After discussion, two months later, on the first day of the twelfth lunar month, the emperor and Xia Xueqing got married.
Everyone in the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion and the General's Mansion were busy preparing for this grand wedding.
Xue Qing and Wu Yu were observing everything in secret to ensure the smooth progress of the plan.
They knew that this wedding would determine the fate of many people, and they had to handle it carefully without making any mistakes.
Xue He directly sent Xia Xuelian's former personal maids Xiaoqing and Li Ma Ma back to her.
When Xia Xuelian saw Xiaoqing and Nanny Li, she felt a complicated emotion in her heart.
After all, she was now wearing Xue Qing's face. After thinking about it, she decided to tell the truth to the two of them. After all, she had to have someone she could trust around her in the future.
Now she could only trust them.
So he called the two of them into the room for a secret talk.
The master and his servants were talking in the room.
Xia Xuelian looked at Xiaoqing and Nanny Li and said, "Xiaoqing, Nanny Li, I didn't expect that we would meet again."
Xiaoqing and Nanny Li looked at each other, somewhat confused. After all, they had only met the real eldest daughter of the Xue family once.
Xia Xuelian thought about having to face Xia Xueqing's face now, and a trace of hatred flashed through her heart, but she was helpless.
So he said to them, "Xiaoqing, it's me. Can't you hear my voice?"
Only then did the two of them realize that this was the lady from before!
But why does the appearance really...
Xiao Qing said with red eyes: "Miss, is it really you?"
Xia Xuelian knew that Xiaoqing recognized her, and she choked up and said, "It's me, Xiaoqing."
Madam Li said with tears in her eyes: "Miss, it's really you, I'm glad you're back, I'm glad you're back!"
The two knelt on the ground, and Xiaoqing continued, "We have been worried about you. Now you are back and have become the queen."
Nanny Li also nodded and said, "Yes, Miss. This is your blessing. We will definitely serve you well."
Xia Xuelian raised her chin slightly and said, "You must be more loyal in the future. I will not treat you unfairly."
Xiaoqing and Li Ma nodded in agreement. After a while, they came out with red eyes.
They knew that this time, they would follow Xia Xuelian into the palace as dowry maids, and this time the two of them would also fly to the branches and become phoenixes.
After finishing his official business every day, Zhou Qian would carefully inquire about the actions of the secret guards of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
He was full of anticipation for this wedding. After all, he would have a goddess as his queen in the future, which was something his ancestors had never had. He was the emperor chosen by God.
At the same time, I felt a little uneasy for some reason.
