Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1957

Shi Chengxuan was puzzled. Tiema City was his daughter's fiefdom. Wasn't it natural for a father to visit his daughter?

Why did the government block his pass?

He wanted his son to go to the government to inquire about the situation, but he found that it was harder than climbing to the sky to see his son.

He found his daughter-in-law and said, "Please tell Qi'er..."

The daughter-in-law replied, "Father, I can't see my husband either. He is busy..."

What are you busy with? Shi Chengxuan soon found out.

Oh my God, his son has made it!

After being a marquis for a few years, he was conferred the title of "Duke of Heguo" by the current emperor.

The youngest Duke in history has been born!

Oh my god! He, Shi Chengxuan, actually became the father of the Duke! But why couldn't he feel any joy at all?

If mother were still alive, would she dare to believe that their second branch would rise to the top overnight? Shi Chengxuan went to burn incense for his father and mother, and chattered for a long time.

"Father, it's a pity that you passed away so early, otherwise your grandfather, the Duke, would have been so glorious. It must be said that you passed away so hastily! Alas! If you had lived a few more years, you would have witnessed the bright future of our Shi family."

"Mother, you love me, and I am grateful. But I still hate you! It is you who made me live alone until now. I also know that I have my own reasons, but the main responsibility lies with you. In short, I don't want to take the blame, and I can't take it."

"Mother, could you have imagined that our Second Branch would be as prosperous as it is today? I certainly couldn't have imagined it. If there's an afterlife, I, Shi Chengxuan, swear to diligently study the sages' books, seek fame, and honestly propose marriage to the Chu... and Tang families. If she marries me, I will cherish her. If she doesn't, forget it. I don't want to become her enemy..."

"Mother, you have not done anything wrong to me, but you have done something wrong to Tang. In heaven, please keep her safe and sound and don't let her suffer."

"I... Shi Chengxuan, am willing to sacrifice ten years of my life in exchange for Tang's safe return." Shi Chengxuan sighed, "Whether she wants to be the Empress Dowager or Mr. Chu Sheng... Anyway... Wuwuwuwuwu... I hope nothing happens to her."

Shi Chengxuan was so moved by what he said that he burst into tears.

He knelt in the ancestral hall for half a day, chanting to himself and asking his ancestors to bless the Tang family.

When Mrs. Gui met Shi Chengxuan, she saw that his eyes were red and he was avoiding people.

She went back and reported to her mistress, "The master cried like a tearful man. I heard he knelt in the ancestral hall for half a day."

Wei Cailing thought for a moment and said, "Send some nourishing food to father. I'm busy here and can't take care of him."

Mrs. Gui agreed, went to do it, and personally delivered the nourishing meals to Chang Wu.

Chang Wu thanked him repeatedly and sent the meal in. "Master, the mistress still respects you as her father-in-law. I heard that you knelt in the ancestral hall for half a day, and she even sent someone to bring you nourishing food."

Shi Chengxuan felt very comfortable after hearing this. He thought his performance today was worthy of the meal, so he ate it in big mouthfuls.

Someone handed in a card and invited Shi Chengxuan to drink vegetarian wine in the Qionglou Huafang.

That drinking buddy was an old playboy in Beijing, and used to hang out with Shi Chengxuan. Later, Shi Chengxuan was sent to Ganzhou by his daughter, and when he came back, that drinking buddy had a new playmate.

In addition, Shi Yunqi was very strict and would not allow his father to go out to drink and have fun, saying that he could only drink vegetarian food at most, otherwise he would kick him out of the house.

Shi Chengxuan was afraid of being chased away, so he didn't dare to drink wine when he went out. As time went by, his drinking buddy was no longer willing to call him.

Now that they heard that Shi Chengxuan had been promoted to the father of the Duke, his drinking buddies became active again, and they even emphasized that when they went out with Shi Chengxuan today, they would only drink vegetarian food.

But Shi Chengxuan refused angrily, "No, no, no, no, no! Can I be someone he can invite whenever he wants? Humph!"

I used to ignore you, but now you are too high for me. I am the father of the Duke, how can I hang out with a drunkard like you?
