Chapter 93 The sly old father
After having lunch with the Hua family, mother and son, Xiao Bi said goodbye and left.
About half an hour later, Hua Hou came back.
As soon as he stepped into the door, he saw a smile on his wife's face that he had not seen for several days.
"What good thing has happened to Madam?" Hua Hou asked as he took off his outer clothes.
Mrs. Hua smiled and said: "It is true that the bell must be tied by someone who can untie it. When Xiaojiu came, our Qinghan's heart was opened. We just ate half a bowl more for lunch than usual."
Hua Hou said: "I have said before that Qing Han is not so fragile. He just hasn't turned around for a while.
It's just pitiful that Madam is so devoted to her mother that she felt sad for a long time."
Mrs. Hua pinched his arm: "It sounds like you don't care about being a father! Who couldn't sleep for two nights in a row, tossing and turning like pancakes, it's so annoying!"
Hua Hou clasped his hands and begged for mercy: "Oh, it's all my husband's fault. If I can't sleep again from now on, madam, just kick me out."
Mrs. Hua handed his clothes to the maid aside and snorted coldly: "The Marquis and the Queen Mother have been chatting for so long. What did they talk about?"
Hua Hou waved his hands with a solemn expression, and the maids quickly retreated.
Without waiting for Mrs. Hua to ask, he pulled her into the inner room: "Madam, don't be anxious, sit down first."
"What's the matter? What happened?" Mrs. Hua couldn't help but keep asking.
Hua Hou said in a deep voice: "The Queen Mother wants to refer Xiaohan to Prince Rong."
"Don't even think about it!" Mrs. Hua was furious and pushed the table out of place.
"It's because of her that my whole life, Menghan, has been ruined. She still refuses to give up and sets her sights on Xiaohan again!"
Hua Hou put his arms around her shoulders: "Madam, please listen to me. The Queen Mother just has such an idea, and everything can still be discussed."
Mrs. Hua brushed his hand away: "Discuss, discuss, it's the same thing again! She said the same thing back then, but before we even had time to discuss a word, the imperial edict came after us!
No matter how stupid I am, I will never fall down twice in the same place!
Go and tell her right away, it’s enough to endure some hardships once!
Xiaohan will never get married, so we will raise her for the rest of her life. We will never let them control her again, and we will never marry into the royal family again!"
Hua Hou sighed: "Actually, Prince Rong also has this intention. He has quite a friendship with me. That kid Wei Yuan is considered very good among the royal family's children."
Mrs. Hua raised her eyebrows: "I heard what you said, do you agree?"
Her eyes were fixed on Hua Hou, as if if he dared to nod his head, she would immediately pounce on him and bite him.
Hua Hou secretly took a breath.
Madam is nearly fifty years old, but her temper is stronger than when she was young. If you are not careful, you will suffer disaster!
He bit the bullet and said: "Madam, there is a big difference between Prince Rong and Your Majesty. I heard some colleagues who were officials in the North say that Prince Rong's son studied very hard and practiced martial arts.
It's bitterly cold in the north, so every year he uses his savings to purchase a large amount of materials and donates them to the poor people..."
Mrs. Hua laughed and said: "So what? Even if he is the most kind person in the world, I don't care about him!
If you don’t believe me, ask Xiaohan if she is happy to be the crown prince!”
"lady……"
Mrs. Hua walked to the door and opened it: "Here comes someone!"
A faint smile flashed across Hua Hou's eyes.
Soon a maid ran over and asked, "What are your orders, madam?"
"Go and call Miss Three, hurry up!"
"Yes." The maid ran away in a hurry.
Mrs. Hua glared at Hua Hou fiercely: "From now on, you are not allowed to speak!"
Hua Hou touched his nose and sat back on the chair obediently.
The couple were in a stalemate, and the room was so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard.
Not long after, Hua Xiaohan arrived.
She sent the maid away and gently closed the door.
"Mom, daddy, what do you want from me?"
Mrs. Hua glanced at Hua Hou: "You tell Xiaohan."
Hua Hou put on a smile and waved: "Come and sit."
Hua Xiaohan was full of suspicion and slowly sat down next to him: "What does daddy want to say?"
Hua Hou said: "It's like this. Today the Queen Mother is discussing with my father and wants to find a marriage between you and Prince Rong."
"I don't want it!" Hua Xiaohan jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
Mrs. Hua sneered and said: "What do you think? I'll tell you that Xiaohan doesn't care about being the Crown Prince's concubine!"
"Xiaohan..." Hua Hou looked at his daughter.
"Dad, I don't like Wei Yuan, and he doesn't like me either. Go and tell the Queen Mother that I will never agree to this marriage!" Hua Xiaohan's little face was already covered with tears.
"Xiaohan, she is your cousin aunt, and she is the most noble woman in Wei Dynasty."
"Mom, do you hear what daddy is saying?" Hua Xiaohan threw herself into Mrs. Hua's arms.
Mrs. Hua bit her lower lip hard: "Xiaohan, your father is right, she is the Queen Mother of Wei.
Being able to discuss things with us gives us face, and we must never confront her head-on.
There is only one way now, before she has decreed the marriage, settle your marriage first.
I don’t believe it, she can really push us to a dead end!”
Hua Xiaohan's heart beat faster and faster.
She originally wanted to find out Huan Ji's feelings first, and then confess to her parents.
With the love her parents have shown her for so many years, she will definitely be able to fulfill her wish.
Who could have imagined that things would change so drastically, it caught her completely off guard.
What should she do?
Hua Hou sighed again: "I was thinking about this problem on the way back. But choosing a son-in-law is not about buying things, as long as you have enough money.
This is a major event related to Xiaohan’s life..."
Mrs. Hua clenched her fist vigorously: "It's so abominable... We have helped her so much over the past decades, but she always wants my life..."
Hua Hou grinned, why didn't Madam cooperate at all?
Hua Xiaohan shed tears and knelt on the ground with a pop.
"Dad, mother, I want to marry Huan Ji!"
"What?!" Mrs. Hua exclaimed.
Hua Xiaohan said categorically: "I like Huan Ji, and I will not marry anyone but him in this life!"
Hua Hou almost couldn't hold on, so he quickly covered it up with his wide sleeves.
"Well... Xiaohan, your mother has already settled the matter with you about the Huan family.
What's more, that guy Huan Ji didn't express that he liked you and wanted to marry you.
We are women, so we should not be too proactive.
If he doesn't want to, then..."
"He dares!" Hua Xiaohan spent almost all the courage in his life on this moment: "He hugged me twice, he has to be responsible for me, right?"
Mrs. Hua was almost furious.
The so-called she knew about it the first time was just a misunderstanding and didn't count at all.
But the second time?
When was that?
"Xiaohan, please speak clearly to me!"
Hua Hou's mouth opened wide.
