In the Duke Ding's Mansion

After seeing off his father-in-law who came to deliver the message, Song Yu turned around and faced the questioning eyes of the whole family.

"Brother, you...the emperor doesn't like the marriage, is this what you asked for?"

Song Ji spoke hesitantly, frowning at the elder brother who was not smiling at the moment. Is Miss An Si really a queen of the country? Is his elder brother, who has always only had business in his heart, really tempted?

No one should ask for this imperial edict of marriage but Song Yu. He is a person who has always been upright and strict, but this happened.

It wasn't just Song Ji who speculated like this, others also had the same suspicion.

"I mean, brother and sister-in-law, you haven't even asked for a marriage decree for her, right? What will happen to brothers Yuan Bin and Yuan Yao if you do this?" Pangzi sneered. What was she talking about? Men in this world

Who doesn't love beauty, even my eldest brother.

"Brother, this is indeed inappropriate." Mrs. Liu also frowned. Brothers Yuan Bin and Yuan Yao are older and more sensible, especially Yuan Bin, who is already twelve years old and will be an adult in two years.

Everyone who should understand understands that the eldest brother values ​​the fourth young lady of the An family so much that the two children may have a grudge in their hearts.

"Dad, you are not allowed to like that An Ruoyu, I don't want her to be our mother!"

Before Song Yuanyao could explain, he was already jumping around and shouting, relying on his young age and the favor of his grandmother. At the age of seven, he already knew that he was going to have a new mother, but he hated that his father preferred the new mother.

Of the pitifully few memories, his deceased mother was the one who loved him best and most.

"Father, my brother is still young and ignorant. Don't blame him." The moment Song Yu frowned, Song Yuanbin stepped forward and protected his brother behind him, "But my son also wants to know what Miss An Si is.

How wonderful that my father loves it so much."

"Yuan Bin! You have grown up and are sensible, why are you still as willful and ignorant as your brother?" Song Yu frowned, wasn't he good before?

When the little fat boy Song Yuanyao saw his brother being scolded, he immediately ran out and rushed towards his father. He pushed his father hard with his short hands, his face turned red, "Don't scold your brother for that bad woman, daddy is bad! I will never do it again."

I like daddy!"

"Song Yuanyao!"

Seeing his troubled little son, Song Yu had a headache. After Bai's death, he had no earthly education for him, and his mother pampered him too much, and now he is so ignorant.

"Hmph! I hate daddy!" Song Yu shouted louder than the fat man. He snorted and turned around and ran away angrily.

"younger brother!"

The wrinkles between Song Yu's eyebrows deepened as he watched the two brothers run away.

"Okay, the imperial edict has been issued. Let's all go back."

Facing everyone's doubts, Song Yu didn't explain too much, he just drove everyone away with a cold face.

Only the old lady turned around and sat down on the stool, looking at the son who had always made her proud and said: "Yu'er, what exactly do you want to do? Just like Ji'er said, this doesn't seem like something you would do.

But you did it anyway, did something happen?"

"Mom still understands my son."

He handed the imperial edict to He Shun, took a sip of hot tea, and then looked at the old lady, "This imperial edict is the amulet I asked for Miss An Si. With this imperial edict, Princess Pingning does not dare to be too blatant. This wife

It must be Miss An Si."

Hearing this, the old lady immediately frowned. Before she could speak, Song Yu continued: "At the same time, it is also to calm the emperor's heart."

"What? Your Majesty doesn't trust our Duke Dingguo anymore?"

Her mood was like a waterfall, rising and falling, but the word "emperor" made the old lady's thoughts freeze for a moment, and she looked at her son in surprise.

Song Yu shook his head and put down the tea cup, "It's not distrust, but fear."

"how come!"

The old lady clapped her hand on the table and leaned forward with a look of urgency, "Our Duke Dingguo is very loyal to the emperor, and you three brothers have always been conscientious in running errands and did not dare to slack off at all. We have not even sent anyone to the harem.

Why would the emperor be afraid!"

"Our Duke Dingguo Mansion has had four Dukes of Dingguo so far. Each Duke of Dingguo is an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs. I don't know how many families in the capital have risen and fallen. Old families are constantly declining and new families are rising. We are Dingguo Dukes.

However, the Duke’s Mansion has been standing firmly until now.”

"I hold a high position in the court, my second brother is also a powerful official outside, and my third brother has become an official even though he has not made any great achievements. The Bai family is from the Xinglin family, my second brother and sister are from imperial merchants, and my third brother and sister's father is also a civil servant. We

Duke Dingguo has been in a high position for too long, so long that there is no need to send his daughter to the palace."

"I understand!" The old lady closed her eyes deeply, her eyes that were no longer clear were full of wisdom, "The emperor needs a capable minister but does not need a perfect minister."

Suddenly the old lady froze and looked at her son with wide eyes, "In the past I wanted to renew my relationship with you, but you were always neither salty nor shy. That's why Princess Pingning made trouble to you three times and four times and you didn't care. That's why. Then

……That……"

The old lady's lips trembled and she spoke with difficulty, "Is this the reason why you want to marry Miss An Si now?"

The old lady's eyes suddenly turned red. She was such an excellent son! What kind of good woman was unworthy of her, but now she was wronged like this!

Thinking like this, the old lady's expression became visibly sluggish, her energy and spirit seemed to have been drained away in an instant, as if she had aged ten years all of a sudden.

"Mother!" Song Yu exclaimed, stood up and supported her mother worriedly, "Mother is not my mother. Of course I have such scruples about marrying Miss An Si, but more importantly, I really have a crush on her."

He gently followed his mother's back and said slowly: "I have had someone check her out. Although she is of low birth and a bit weak, she has a gentle and filial temperament, and has a charming appearance. The most important thing is that there is no problem with her conduct. Son

She is also satisfied with her. When her son reaches this age and reaches his current position, he will no longer wrong himself."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Really?" The old lady held her son's hand and looked at him expectantly. The prosperity of the family was indeed important, but she also cared about her son's happiness.

"Really!" Holding his mother's hand, Song Yu nodded, with a smile on his lips.

It is true that he should not marry another wife of noble birth, but that does not mean that he can accept any woman. When he rescued Miss An Si from the water that day, her weak and boneless body lay in his arms.

, he was obviously not a young boy who had never tasted female sex, but at that moment his cold and hard heart softened, and he felt pity for that little lump.

What was unexpected was the kiss that followed, which was not really a kiss. This was the first time in his life that he had been so embarrassed by someone. He would never forget this woman in his life.

"Okay! Okay! Okay!"

Seeing her son's obviously moved expression, she said three good words in a row. The old lady's energy came back in an instant, and she smiled brightly, "Just take your fancy! Yuan Bin and Yuan Bin

Don't worry about Yao, I will have a good talk with them, promise mother, don't wrong yourself again."

…

After the marriage decree was given, everything changed. Jewelry, clothes, fabrics and other goodies were delivered to An Ruoyu's yard like a flowing stream.

That's right, it's the courtyard. Now she no longer needs to squeeze into the same courtyard with the second and third ladies, but has a separate courtyard that belongs to her alone.

An Hong and Wang were so generous in taking action. They were so generous that she hugged those good things and laughed every day, and there was no room for them in her new yard.

The most important thing is An Hong's attitude, which represents the attitude of the entire An family. An Ruoyu suddenly became the rarest and most valuable person in the entire An family. The eldest lady of the An family, An Ruo, became the concubine of the eldest son of the Xuanping Marquis.

Ying even went back to her parents' home accompanied by her husband.

On the second day after the imperial edict was issued, just after a sumptuous and somewhat extravagant breakfast, a servant came to report that the eldest lady and uncle-in-law were back, and that the eldest lady came to visit.

When An Ruoyu met this eldest sister, she understood. No wonder her eldest sister was favored by Prince Xuanping. She was really a vixen-like woman, and she really looked like the best at charming men.

The most conspicuous thing about an awl face is the pair of fox-like eyes, which seem to be enchanting all the time. It is obvious that the face is not the best, but the sexy and seductive temperament is really a stunner in the world. No wonder

He was able to seduce the Crown Prince Xuanping into accompanying a noble concubine back to her parents' home.

"The fourth sister is indeed beautiful and fragrant. She is a lucky person at first glance."

After entering the room, An Ruoying covered her mouth and smiled, as if water was flowing in her narrow fox eyes.
