After Wu Mingju came back, Su Yue quietly told him about Xu Mu's proposal.

Wu Mingju heard this and looked at his wife, but he stopped talking.

Su Yue knew what he was going to say, it was nothing more than Xu Mu people. Zhao Zhao was good at marrying him. She advised her not to take the things of the past too much. After so long, everyone had long decided that Zhao Zhao was the blood of the Wu family. But what if? Su Yue gave birth to four children, but she loved her daughter the most, and it had nothing to do with who the child’s father was, because her daughter was in danger, so she had to worry more.

"You go and persuade Zhaozhao, she will listen to you."

Rejecting Xu Mu would soon hurt her daughter's heart again, and Su Yue's chest was not feeling well.

When Wu Mingju saw that his wife was sad, he didn't dare to persuade her anymore. He sighed and went to find her daughter. Of course, he did not mention Xu Mu, but only said that Tai'an was busy with business and had to go back tomorrow.

"Then Dad will go back by himself, my mother will live in the capital, and Dad will come back after his work." Zhao Zhao pouted and acted coquettishly.

"No, there are people in the capital who are ulterior motives, I'm not at ease." Wu Mingju couldn't stand his daughter acting coquettishly, and was afraid that he would compromise if he said too much, so he stood up calmly, "It's up, you guys help the girl pack up and set off tomorrow morning." After scanning the two big maids in the room, Wu Mingju left quickly.

Zhao Zhao chased after two steps, stopped, and his little face was pale.

It’s all his fault that he didn’t come to propose marriage. He came early, so that his parents wouldn’t rush to leave.

I blame Xu Mu, Zhao Zhao couldn't sleep at night, and I also blamed myself for knowing that he was stupid, so why did he tease him?

The next day, the Wu family and his group left Beijing.

Ningxiang led the children to see him off. Zhaozhao didn't see Xu Mu. The light in his eyes instantly faded. He got on the carriage. She looked out quietly, but never saw Xu Mu. Zhaozhao was very sad. She didn't understand whether Xu Mu misunderstood that she didn't like him and gave up. Whether Xu Mu actually did not have to do it.

Zhao Zhao wanted to cry a little when she thought of the man walking through the long temple road with her on her back.

Su Yue looked around and saw that her daughter was obviously very sad but she still pretended to be the same as usual. She felt so distressed, but her daughter was really not suitable for Xu Mu, so she told Xu Mu last night that he would not have to come here today. Since there is no result, it is better to have short pain than long pain.

Several carriages were getting further and further away.

Xu Mu was riding a horse and hid in a small wood outside the city. He looked at the slowly moving carriage, feeling lost.

This winter came very early, and in mid-October, it snowed heavily.

After going down court, Xiao Luo called Xiao Nan and Xu Mu and returned to Chongzheng Hall together.

"Xu Mu, why do I think you are not very happy recently?" Xiao Luo sat on the warm couch, holding a tea bowl, and said in a chat, "Did you see the prince get married? You are not saying you are a uncle yet, and you are anxious? So are your sister and brother-in-law? Why don't you help you arrange a good marriage? Why don't I give you a good marriage?"

When he heard the dazzling sound, Xiao Nan looked at his father strangely, not understanding why he suddenly wanted to be a matchmaker.

Xu Mu forced himself to smile and lowered his head and said, "The emperor blamed my sister and brother-in-law for mistakes. They kept urging me, but I haven't thought about settle down yet."

Xiao Luo nodded and let him go down.

After Xu Mu left, Xiao Luo sat cross-legged on the couch and signaled his son to sit opposite the low table and to play chess with his son.

Xiao Nan didn't think much about the father and son playing chess in the capital.

Halfway through the chess game, Xiao Luo asked his son to the chess game: "Xu Mu has been depressed recently, do you know why?"

Xiao Nan's heart moved.

Xu Mu was unhappy, of course he saw it. He asked, Guoer asked, and they also asked their adoptive mother when they visited the Hou Mansion, but no one knew what Xu Mu was thinking. The father suddenly mentioned this. Could it be that he knew the inside story?

Xiao Nan looked at the father opposite and whispered: "Please give me some advice."

Xiao Luo nodded and told his son what he knew while playing chess. A big maid next to Zhaozhao was his secret guard who inserted it into it. The secret guards were just guessing about Xu Mu and Zhaozhao, and there was no conclusive evidence, but according to Xu Mu's performance after Zhaozhao left, Xiao Luo could guess it.

That Su Yue was indeed a smart person, knowing what kind of life would be more suitable for her daughter, rather than blindly greedy for wealth and prosperity.

Xiao Nan frowned, "Father, Wu is in peace. If she has the desire to retaliate, she will definitely match Zhaozhao and Xu Mu..."

"I know." Xiao Luo raised his head and looked back at his son, "After this, I am sure that Su Yue will no longer have any trouble. Now I tell you that it is to give you a chance to be kind to Xu Mu. If you don't care about your past grudges, he will be grateful to you. At the same time, he will understand that our royal people don't know anything, so as to give him a warning, so that he will not be fond of being favored and going the wrong way in the future."

He promoted the Lu family for his son's sake, but over the years, he witnessed his son's importance to the Lu family with his own eyes. Xiao Luo had to warn his son that no matter how much he valued the Lu family, the king was the king, and the minister was the minister.

Xiao Nan was silent for a long time, nodded, "Don't worry, Father, I understand."

Xiao Luo smiled with satisfaction.

Xiao Nan returned to the East Palace and asked someone to invite Xu Mu over.

"The prince is looking for me?" Two quarters of an hour later, Xu Mu came, still tall, but the person lost weight.

There were only two of them in the study, and Xiao Nan did not go around with him. He sat at the desk and looked at him coldly, "Zhao Zhao is fifteen, but my uncle is not in a hurry at all. Would he rather marry someone else than risk the danger of harming her and tell me the truth. Please help you achieve your wish?"

Xu Muru was struck by lightning and looked at him in disbelief.

Xiao Nan lowered his eyes and looked cold. This was the first time he showed Xu Mu this way he was so resistant to others.

Xu Mu looked at him, and his heart was full of trouble. Su Yue and Niang committed the crime of deceiving the king. Although he was close to Xiao Nan, he knew that being with the king was like a tiger and did not dare to act emotionally. If Su Yue Zhaozhao was implicated, he could not make up for them even if he died. As Xiao Nan said, he had even decided to give up.

But now Xiao Nan knows.

Xu Mu was frightened and he knelt down, "Crown Prince, Zhaozhao and Guoer are like sisters. Please let them go for Guoer's sake, is it okay?"

Xiao Nan's face looked even more ugly, staring at him and sarcastically: "So in your heart, I am the kind of ruthless person. I can even punish my childhood playmates, wife and sisters, and uncle's sweetheart?"

Xu Mu finally thought about the taste and was overjoyed, "Don't you blame them?"

Xiao Nan threw the book in his hand towards him and walked out with a slight face.

Yes, he wouldn't call him Uncle Xu Mu, but just like he didn't call him adoptive father and father, he still regarded Xu Mu as his uncle in his heart, and did not call him uncle, mainly because the two were of similar age and he couldn't call him, but Xu Mu was fine. He really regarded him as the prince and didn't tell him such a big thing.

"Crown Prince, don't leave!" Xu Mu chased after him, wanting to ask for a letter of approval.

Xiao Nan ignored it and walked faster and faster.

Xu Mu was so anxious that he suddenly thought of Xiao Nan's sarcasm just now. At that time, Xiao Nan called him his uncle.

This time, Xu Mu really understood. He rushed up a few times, hugged Xiao Nan's shoulder and turned around, and rubbed his head with a smile: "Good Anan, it's my uncle who is petty, okay, since you don't object to me marrying Zhaozhao as your aunt, will I give me a day off tomorrow?"

"Get out!" Xiao Nan said with dissatisfaction with him touching his head and shouted with a calm face.

Xu Mu laughed, hugged him hard, let go and lowered his head in his ear and said, "Thank you, my good nephew."

After saying that, he ran out excitedly. He was going back to Tai'an and went to the Wu family to propose marriage.

Xiao Nan walked to the door of the study and looked at his companion and uncle who was running away. He suddenly missed his childhood.

Some people can only be kings and ministers, while others would rather not be kings than be relatives.

~

Tai'an Mansion and Wu's family were bored and leaning against the warm couch, without any interest in doing anything.

Did Xu Mu really give up that piece of dead wood?

She waited for him for two more months. If he didn't show up again the New Year, she wouldn't wait and choose another man to marry.

"Girl, girl, uncle is here!"

Her maid suddenly ran over and said excitedly.

Zhao Zhao's eyes lit up, and he was about to go down as he put down the book. He was halfway up and lay down again, pretending to ask, "Which uncle is this?"

"Miss is really good at joking. Are you just an uncle?" the maid said with a smile.

Zhao Zhao glared at him, thinking about it, and was curious about what Xu Mu came here this time. He put on his shoes and did not allow the maid to follow him. She secretly went to the front yard by herself. Unexpectedly, she turned the corridor and happened to see Xu Mu step out of the main hall. She saw him, and Xu Mu also saw her, and stood there in surprise, staring at her blankly.

Zhao Zhao was both ashamed and annoyed, turned around and left.

Xu Mu came back to his senses. The person he was thinking about day and night was right in front of him. He was not willing to let her run away and chased after her.

"What are you doing when you are blocking me? Get out of the way." Zhao Zhao glared at the man who was blocking him and said angrily.

"I'm here to propose marriage." Xu Mu panted, not tired of chasing her, but rushed from the capital without stopping, tired.

"Tiyebaiti, I won't marry you." Zhao Zhao was upset that he came too late and made her sad for too long. Although she was secretly happy, she still choked him.

Xu Mu was not in a hurry this time, and looked at her with a bit of ambition and smiled, "Your mother has promised me, the matchmaker's words from her parents' orders, Zhao Zhao, you have to marry if you don't marry."

"My mother, did she agree?" Zhao Zhao was too shocked. How long has Xu Mu been here? My mother agreed so soon? My father has not come back from his business yet. My mother really likes Xu Mu so much, and she doesn't even discuss it when she pretends to discuss it with her father?

Xu Mu nodded and looked at her with great satisfaction.

She didn't understand that this marriage was hard to come by, and Xu Mu didn't want her to understand. He wanted her to be happy forever and be his wife of the Xu family happily.

With Xiao Nan's consent, Su Yue also agreed. Xu Mu and Zhaozhao's marriage went very smoothly. Xu Mu had always had a house in the capital, but he was used to living in his brother-in-law's house. Now he was about to get married. Xu Mu finally moved back to his house and ordered someone to renovate it. In April of the following year, he would marry Zhaozhao and pass the family.

The daughter got married, and Su Yue was accompanied by Wu Mingju to a wilderness in the suburbs.

There was a tomb in clothing and there was no handwriting on the tombstone.

Su Yue knelt in front of the tombstone, burning paper one by one, the breeze swept away the curling smoke and floated into the sky. Su Yue followed the wisp of blue smoke at the top, and her red lips gently twitched.
