The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

"What about Sister Lang?"

Fang Youhuai was a little nervous, especially since he was about to arrive in the capital.

He couldn't help but look at his eldest brother. Over the years, the younger generations of the Fang family have all centered around Fang Youming, huddling together to form the strongest fortress.

Fang Youming pulled the reins, and the distracted horse tilted its head a little in pain, but continued on its way obediently.

"When the time comes to meet His Majesty, Sixth Uncle will report the truth. The Fang family can no longer withstand the storm."

Now, they return to Beijing with their achievements, and there is a hidden story behind what happened back then.

Before my grandfather passed away, he left a last letter with him, in which he explained everything about my eldest sister and the others.

Although they did not reveal the relationship between Xuan Yu and their family at the border, it was inevitable that someone with ulterior motives would find out.

No matter what, the girls who are away from home must be brought back.

It's impossible that the family is getting better but they can't even go home.

Things went unexpectedly smoothly. When Fang Youming returned home, he was still shocked.

The same goes for Uncle Fang Liu, who was traveling with us.

The two returned home in silence. Everyone at home, young and old, was waiting for them. Seeing their expressions, they thought something had gone wrong.

He Jiajing, the oldest one, was sitting in the main seat, and the other sisters-in-law were sitting next to her.

"No matter how His Majesty punishes our Fang family, at least you should tell us. The worst outcome is exile. We've already experienced it once, so there's nothing to be afraid of."

Following closely was Fang's fifth aunt Dong Wenqing. She was a little nervous and her eyes were red.

That year, in addition to Lang Jie'er, her little daughter was also sent away.

When she was born, she took one look and was taken away.

She was so young that she didn't even get a sip of milk.

Thinking that her daughter was still outside, she wanted to drive to pick her up immediately.

However, Dong Wenqing looked at his sixth brother and then at Fang Youming.

"You Ming, what does His Majesty say?"

Fang Youming and his sixth uncle looked at each other before he started talking about what was happening in the palace.

Back then, the Fang family took the blame for the incident, and later on, they did a lot for the Emperor of Chu at the border.

The Emperor of Chu remembered all of this, so after the Fang family returned to the capital, the Emperor of Chu generously reinstated Fang Huaiji, the sixth son of the Fang family, to his original position as Junior Secretary.

The rest of the Fang family, except Fang Huaiji, were all in local areas and did not hold important official positions.

Perhaps because the official position was too low, the Emperor of Chu simply ignored it.

However, it is also a great joy that Fang Huaiji can be reinstated.

All the property that was confiscated that year was returned.

Most of the things should still be there, and if there are any missing, just use silver to make up for them.

"There will be an imperial decree from the palace after these..."

"What about Sister Lang and Xiao Zhu?"

Dong Wenqing couldn't wait to interrupt Fang Youming. Her eyes and heart were now filled with her child.

Fang Youming didn't know if it was because he was a little excited, but his face turned red.

"Your Majesty didn't say anything to Langjie'er and Xiaozhu'er. After reading Grandfather's letter, he only said..."

"They said they had issued an imperial decree, ordering Sister Lang to return to the capital to prepare for her wedding."

After hearing the first sentence, the faces of the Fang family, young and old, were filled with joy, but they were confused when they heard the next sentence.

"What are you preparing for marriage?"

"Your Majesty, please arrange for the Fang family to marry into the Duan Marquisate and marry the unmarried young General Duan."

Everyone in the Fang family knows who General Duan is.

Not to mention how shocked the Fang family was, the Duan Hou Mansion was also in an uproar.

Lu came back from the palace. She received the imperial concubine's order to enter the palace yesterday, but she never expected that it was about Kang Ge'er's marriage.

Song Shengfu had known about this for a long time. Of course, it was Kang Ge'er who told her secretly.

The purpose is to let his grandmother help him when the time comes and say more good things about him in front of his mother.

Unlike the imagined Lu's quarrel, she was calm instead, as if she had accepted the matter.

Even Duan Jingzong was only slightly dissatisfied when he heard about this, but after all, it was the marriage granted by His Majesty, so he did not dare to complain.

She only privately reminded Mrs. Lu that if her daughter-in-law behaved inappropriately, she would need to be well educated so that she could become a qualified mistress of a wealthy family.

Song Shengfu still remembered Kang Ge'er's instructions, so after several days, when she saw that there was no movement from Lu, she called her over.

The leaves of the walnut tree have fallen, and the trunk is bare.

There were tables and chairs in the yard. Song Shengfu was leaning on a recliner, covered with a thick fox fur blanket.

"You've changed a lot over the years. You seem to have grown more mature, but it also makes me feel a little sad."

Lu has become more and more taciturn in recent years, staying in his own small Buddhist temple all day long.

As she sat there, an ancient and quiet scent lingered around her.

"Mother, my daughter-in-law is almost sixty years old and still doesn't understand things. She's too old to be sensible."

Lu laughed when she heard her mother's words. It was a kind of happiness to hear an elder say that she was sensible at this age.

Song Shengfu looked at her. She was obviously only fifty-six or fifty-seven, but she insisted on saying that she was about to be sixty.

She still remembers the old days when once a woman was eighteen, she would always be eighteen.

"Mother, I know what you want to say. You always say that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I did so much in the past just for Kang Ge'er's good. Now that I think about it, my concern has led me astray. I actually took so many wrong paths and almost hurt him."

Lu sighed and looked at the few dead leaves swaying on the branches.

"Your Majesty granting this marriage is a great blessing. I've made inquiries these past few days. The girl is a medical student who graduated from the Women's School. Everyone who knows her says she's a good girl, so I'm sure they'll all say this girl is not bad either."

"Kang Ge'er is a military commander now. There's still no result with Mo Sheng, so he might have to go to the battlefield in the future. If the girl marries and has children, she can stay in the mansion to give Kang Ge'er more children. If a war breaks out and she's still not pregnant, she can go to the border with Kang Ge'er, so she'll have someone to take care of her."

Mrs. Lu kept talking, and it turned out that she had already thought about Kang Ge'er's marriage arrangements.

"Kang'er is not young anymore, he's 24 years old, and Xuan'er is even younger than him, and he already has two children."

"Don't you think that girl's family background is too low?"

Song Shengfu had seen the noble ladies that Lu had chosen for Kang Ge'er before, and each of them had an excellent status.

It is impossible to say that she is not unwilling at all. Mrs. Lu definitely wants to find a wife for Kang Ge'er who has all the qualities.

Can……

Given the current situation of the Duan Hou Mansion, marrying another member of a prominent family would probably only attract the wind.

Song Shengfu looked at Lu and sighed in her heart, she was indeed a noble lady who was raised with great care, and she had all the vision and sharpness that she should have.

"I know what you're thinking. Even if I leave, I'll be relieved."

Lu almost dropped the teacup in her hand and stopped talking with an anxious look on her face.

"Mother, you're fine, why are you saying this?"

The elderly in my family are old, and I am most afraid of them saying these words.

The fear is that what I say will come true.
