Chapter 40: My brother only wants her in this life

After Xiao Chengnian left.

The emperor took the tea handed to him by Eunuch Huang and asked casually,

"Huang Zhongsheng, do you know how old this Su Taifu's adopted daughter is and whether she is married?"

As soon as this word comes out,

Xiao Heng was stunned at first, then turned around and looked at him quietly.

The emperor smiled heartily when he saw that he had indeed reacted.

"Hahaha, good, good! You kid!"

Happy said,

"You're already quite old, and there hasn't been a woman in your family for years. The Queen Mother and I have tried to arrange marriages for you many times, but you've always refused. People say you're a homosexual, and I was worried if it was true."

"Now that I see that you seem to be very interested in this adopted daughter of the Su family, it seems that those rumors outside are just rumors. I am relieved."

Xiao Heng straightened his body and looked away.

The emperor pondered for a moment, then continued,

"Teacher Su is highly talented and well-behaved. I believe his daughter will be no less well-educated. If you like her, I will decree that she be given to you as a concubine."

As he said this, he raised his hand and prepared to draft an edict.

Xiao Heng refused outright, "No."

The emperor frowned in confusion.

"Don't you like her?"

Xiao Heng said in a deep voice,

"She can't be a concubine."

The emperor's brow furrowed even deeper.

Can’t be a concubine?

Does he want to take her as a concubine?

Although she was an adopted daughter, the Grand Tutor was also an important official in the court. Even if he was the regent, it would not be right for him to take her as a concubine.

Xiao Heng met the emperor's doubtful eyes, his face calm but his eyes were extremely firm, and he said seriously,

"I only want her in this life."

Before the emperor could recover from the shock of this sentence, he continued,

"She will only be my brother's wife, so she cannot be a concubine."

Seeing his determined and serious expression, the emperor was startled at first, then fell silent.

After a long moment, he said solemnly, "She is just an adopted daughter. Granting you as a concubine is already a great honor for her."

Xiao Heng is his biological brother, and part of the poison in his body was also to protect him from disaster when they fought for the throne. Over the years, he has always trusted him and entrusted him with important tasks, hoping that he can assist the prince in the future.

The Regent Princess is of noble status, and having an adopted daughter is really inappropriate.

Xiao Heng remained unmoved and said firmly, "I have no other requests except her as my wife. If you, my Royal Highness, feel that the position of Regent Princess is not suitable for her, you can remove me from the position of Regent."

The emperor frowned, with some anger on his face.

"you!……"

He knew Xiao Heng's character best.

On second thought,

Fortunately, Taifu Su is also someone he values, and it would be beneficial for the two of them to work together to assist the prince in the future.

Forget it, he doesn’t care anymore, as long as he likes women.

He sighed and said, "Never mind, it's up to you."

Xiao Heng's brows relaxed, and he said simply, "Since that's the case, then my royal brother should draft the decree immediately!"

The emperor snorted coldly.

Brat! The monster is good at climbing trees.

He then had someone grind ink to write the imperial decree granting the marriage, stamped it with the seal, and threw it to him.

Xiao Heng opened it and carefully read the decree on it, with a slight smile on his lips.

He put away the imperial edict, stood up and saluted, saying, "Thank you, my Royal Brother. I have something else to ask. Please do not spread the news of the marriage for the time being. I will decide when to read the imperial edict."

The emperor frowned.

What does this guy mean?

It seemed that he had no intention of explaining himself.

He nodded unhappily and waved his hand to tell him to leave.

Xiao Heng raised his eyes slightly, put away the imperial edict, and strode out of the imperial study in a leisurely manner.

.......

Wutongju

As soon as Xuanshuang came back, she saw Su Yuejian preparing dinner with the maids in the kitchen.

She frowned slightly.

During the time she spent with Su Yuejian, she discovered that she was completely different from other noble ladies.

In private, she doesn't have the temper of a lady at all.

She also cooked and ate with the maids around her, and read and played together.

The way they get along isn't like master and servant, but more like sisters.

Su Yuejian's ears twitched, and he turned around to see her in the dark in the yard.

Su Yuejian told Yuzhu and Yinxin that she was a little tired today and wanted to stay quiet for a while.

He turned around and went back into the house alone with the prepared dinner.

The two of them did not suspect anything.

After she closed the door and sat down, Xuanshuang appeared.

Report to her about Qiao's whereabouts today.

"After Qiao left home today, he immediately went to the south of the city, but he didn't go to a pawnshop, but to a private residence."

"The owner of the private residence is surnamed Feng, Feng Wei."

Su Yuejian frowned slightly.

She thought back to her previous life and realized she had never heard of the name Feng Wei.

"I asked around, and I found out Feng Wei is quite famous in that area. He used to be a porter at the docks, but about fifteen years ago he suddenly made a fortune and became a wealthy tycoon overnight."

"Feng Wei lost his wife at a young age, and he has only one son, Feng Qingsheng, who was born to his late wife."

Su Yue frowned when she saw this single man and single woman.

Her pupils widened, as if she had guessed something.

What Xuanshuang said next confirmed her thoughts.

Neighbors often saw horse-drawn carriages entering the Feng family's house through the back door.

It seems that Qiao and Feng Wei have had an affair for a long time.

Feng Wei only knew how to eat, drink and enjoy himself every day. Apart from the small pawnshop, he had no other legitimate business, but his family was well-fed and had a constant source of income.

Upon hearing this, Su Yuejian's face instantly turned cold, and her beautiful eyes were filled with anger.

With anger on his face and a cold smile on his face,

"What a nice Qiao Wanyun! She's so kind! She actually uses our Su family's money to support a man!"

The girl had a smile on her face, but Xuanshuang felt cold all over.

For the first time, she felt that Su Yuejian was very similar to the prince, which made her feel afraid.

She spoke softly, "There is one more thing. Feng Wei's late wife was none other than Xue Qingqing, the daughter of Xue Hong, the former owner of Xue's Pawnshop."

"Xue Qingqing?"

"Yes, the Feng and Xue families are old friends. The two were betrothed when they were young. Later, the Feng family fell into decline, and the Xue family moved from Pingquan to Kyoto. However, Xue Hong still married his daughter to Feng Wei. He has been supporting the family for many years after Xue Qingqing's death. After Xue Hong's death, Feng Wei took over the Xue's Pawnshop."

Su Yuejian nodded.

But I always feel like something is strange, but I can’t put my finger on it.

She was lost in thought, her eyes sweeping across the dinner on the table.

Suddenly he raised his hand and slapped his forehead.

"Oops, I almost forgot!"

She stood up and pulled Xuanshuang over, pressed her into her seat, and placed the dishes and chopsticks in front of her.

"I forgot you haven't eaten anything today."

Xuanshuang didn't move at all, watching her pick up food for herself.

"I made all of this, and I guarantee it tastes a thousand times better than those in restaurants out there!"

The girl said with a smile,

"You said before that you didn't have any favorite food. I guess you haven't tasted my cooking yet. Give it a try, you'll definitely like it!"

Without waiting for Xuanshuang to refuse, he stuffed the chopsticks into her hand.

"Eat quickly, and then go out with me."

Xuanshuang met her sparkling eyes, and his brows twitched slightly.

As if possessed, he took the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.

She is indeed not a glutton.

In her eyes, no matter how delicious the food is, it is just a tool to fill the stomach.

But for some reason, today's meal seemed particularly delicious.

Then Su Yuejian turned around and went out to tell Yinxin and Yuzhu.

She had to go out for something important tonight, so she asked them to guard the yard and not allow anyone to enter her room.

After Xuanshuang finished her meal, she saw Su Yuejian coming out of the inner room wearing men's clothes and a mask.

Xuan Shuang looked at her doubtfully

Su Yuejian smiled slyly.

"Let's go!"
