One hundred and fifty-four chapters forcibly betrothed
This is not the first time that Hongfu Nu has bumped into Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang. Last time, Princess Pingyang told Li Xiu his name, and then the two returned from the bamboo forest together. Although they didn't say anything between them, the ambiguous attitude can be seen at a glance by anyone with a discerning eye.
At that time, Hongfu Nu was anxious to tell Li Xiu about Li Jing’s family affairs, so she didn’t pursue it too much. However, she didn’t expect that when she met them this time, the two of them were playing in the water in the stream. Princess Pingyang was wet all over. Judging from their situation, they were like a young man and woman in love.
"I didn't expect the princess to be here too. I want to talk to Xiu'er about some family matters!" Hong Fu Nu calmed down and said. Last time she had reminded Li Xiu not to have any other relationship with Princess Pingyang. Unfortunately, it seems that her reminder has not worked at all.
Princess Pingyang was ashamed of shame, and Hong Funu's words immediately made her find an excuse to leave. She was about to stand up and say goodbye to leave, but at this time Li Xiu suddenly said, "No need, there are no outsiders here, so my mother can just say anything!"
Hearing Li Xiu's words, Princess Pingyang was not leaving, nor was she not leaving. She could only look at Li Xiu with help, but Li Xiu smiled at her and told her not to rush to leave. First, he did, as he said, there was nothing to hide from Princess Pingyang, and secondly, it was the most important. Princess Pingyang is now soaked, and there are many guards brought by Li Chengdao outside. If they were allowed to see it, wouldn't they suffer?
Hongfu Nu saw Li Xiu insisting on letting Princess Pingyang stay here, which made her sigh again. However, just now, when she saw the relationship between Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang, this matter was inseparable from her, so it was a good thing to talk about it in person.
Thinking of this, Hongfu Nu nodded immediately, so Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang came to the grass by the stream with her to sit down and talk. Li Chengdao originally wanted to hear it, but Li Xiu rushed to the guards. What's the fun of the child?
Princess Pingyang sat down next to Li Xiu with some anxiety. Li Xiu's biological mother died early, and there was only Hong Funu, a legitimate mother. This made Princess Pingyang suddenly feel like an ugly daughter-in-law saw her parents-in-law. No matter how she did it, she felt that she was wrong, and she had no place to put her hands and feet. After sitting down, she kept blushing and lowered her head, not even daring to say a word.
If it were in the past, Hong Fu Nu would have never dreamed that Princess Pingyang, who was heroic on the battlefield, would have such a young daughter, and would never have thought that she might become her daughter-in-law. Unfortunately, God will make people confused, and her relationship with Chai Shao was entangled. Li Xiu's marriage was also a mess. Now the real big trouble is coming.
Thinking of this, Hong Fu Nu suddenly sighed and said to Li Xiu: "Xu'er, your marriage has been settled!"
"What... what's settled?" Li Xiu was stunned when he heard Hong Funu's words, and his face was unclear. Princess Pingyang raised her head in surprise when she heard this, and her eyes were a little unbelievable.
"Oh, Pei Ju came to the door today and insisted on deciding the marriage between you and his daughter. This matter was proposed by your father at the beginning and could not be refused at all, so he had to agree in the end. Moreover, Pei Ju urged him very urgently. Today he proposed the day of getting married and asked your father to send the bride gift. When I came, the person who gave the bride gift had already set off. Now he probably had already delivered the bride gift to Pei Mansion." Hong Fu sighed again. She originally wanted to stop it, but she couldn't stop it. She had no choice but to come and notify Li Xiu first.
"Why, why did he decide my marriage?" Li Xiu couldn't help but yelled angrily when he heard this. He thought that after he had a falling out with Li Jing last time, he would not have to pay attention to the matter there, but he didn't expect that Li Jing would actually make a marriage for him again, which was simply ignorant.
"Xu'er, don't blame your father. We took the initiative to bring up this marriage, and the old fox Pei Ju kept squeezing your father. He is a person who is particularly concerned about face and has no way to refuse. In the end, he can only agree." Hong Funu persuaded helplessly again.
"Hmph, after the last incident, I have broken up with him. Let him solve the marriage he promised. Anyway, I will never marry Pei Ju's daughter!" Li Xiu said firmly, especially Princess Pingyang is still by his side, so he cannot hesitate about this matter.
Princess Pingyang's heart was messy after hearing that Li Jing had been engaged to Li Xiu, and she didn't know how to react. Her face turned pale. However, when she suddenly heard Li Xiu's refusal, she finally felt a little relieved. She looked at Li Xiu with some excitement, and Li Xiu gave her a reassuring smile.
The little movements of Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang were seen by Hong Fu Nu, which made her even more embarrassed. However, she still tried hard to defend her husband and said, "Xu'er, your father actually doesn't want to agree to the marriage with the Pei family. He even proposed to let your brother marry Pei Ju's daughter instead. However, Pei Ju didn't agree at all and appointed you to be their son-in-law. And he also said that the marriage would not be worrying about us. The Pei family would handle it. It seems that he was going to force his daughter to you."
"This old fox!" Li Xiu couldn't help but curse Pei Ju when he heard this, but this did not become his reason for understanding Li Jing. In order to prevent his face from being damaged, he didn't care about Li Xiu's happiness in his life. From a point of view, he didn't care about Li Xiu's son at all, which made it even more difficult for Li Xiu to forgive him.
"Mother, I don't care what he promised others. Anyway, I am me. I will decide my marriage myself. No one can force me to marry a woman I don't like!" Li Xiu said firmly again.
Hongfu Nu knew that Li Xiu would not surrender, and there was a Princess Pingyang next to him who was ambiguous with him, which made it even more impossible for him to marry the woman from the Pei family. So Hongfu Nu did not intend to persuade him, but Li Xiu had to know some things so that he would not deepen his misunderstanding of Li Jing.
Thinking of this, Hong Fu Nu said to Li Xiu with a serious look on her face: "Xu'er, this matter is no longer something you agree with or not. Judging from the attitude of the old fox Pei Ju towards this matter, he may force you to marry his daughter. Your father and I can't stop you. What should you do then?"
