Chapter 421: Dressed as a Widow Without a Man (37)
Chapter 421: Dressed as a Widow Without a Man (37)
In the end, the emperor was of no avail and rewarded Shuangshuang with some gold and silver utensils and gave her the promised land deed.
Shuangshuang saw the title deed of the imperial farm and asked the emperor seriously.
"Excuse me, Your Majesty, have all the people in this imperial manor been evacuated?"
"Of course there are some of the original servants here, but that's okay. Doesn't your farm need people to manage it anyway?"
“That’s different, those servants are yours, not mine.
What if they don’t listen to me?
So you should send someone to call them back."
"That's fine."
Then he ordered the eunuch beside him, "Send someone to inform them to go to another imperial farm."
After both of them left, the emperor looked at Xu Dashan helplessly.
"Lord Xu, you've seen it too, she's made up her mind.
Let me choose a wife for you to manage the harem for you."
"No, sir, thank you for your consideration.
It’s just that I have already done something wrong and I can’t make the same mistake again.
Otherwise, I'm afraid there will really be no connection between her and me anymore."
"But the problem is that now she wants to draw a line between herself and you."
“Yes, but if I said that I was with that woman before, it was unintentional and it was understandable.
But if he marries again, it is intentional.
Then I’m afraid the three of them will never forgive me in this lifetime.”
At this time, the Queen interjected, "Marquis Zhongyi, don't blame me for being nosy.
I can see the character of your ex-wife, I'm afraid she won't come back to you.
You might as well listen to the emperor and marry again, there will still be time to give birth to another prince."
"No, thank you Your Majesty and Your Majesty for your concern. I will take my leave now."
After he left, the emperor asked the queen, "You can really see that he is not one to turn back."
"I mentioned it to her, and she immediately told me a lot.
And she is so capable, she raised two children so well by herself.
My son became a juren at a young age, and his future is promising.
With such a personality, why would she come back to him?
The emperor finally sighed deeply.
"Well, it was me who caused him trouble. He was trying to save me when his brain was injured.
I have always wanted to go and pick up his wife and children in person, but at that time I had just ascended the throne and it was difficult for me to handle the court alone, so I did not let them go.
He thought of asking his confidant to pick the person up so that the couple could be reunited.
But he never expected that it would become part of someone else's scheme against him."
The queen said nothing more. The marriage between her and the emperor was originally arranged according to an arrangement.
Later, when he ascended the throne, he had three thousand beauties in his harem, and the relationship between the two of them was just to maintain face.
She managed the harem and handled all these complicated matters for the emperor, and the emperor gave her basic respect.
Three years passed in a flash. Two years ago, Shuangshuang presented sweet potatoes to the emperor through Duan Ruicheng.
After the emperor tested it, he sent his confidants to supervise it personally and distributed it to the people in various counties and cities.
As for Xujia Village, since they are local households, they have planted sweet potatoes in every household under the introduction of the Qi family.
So I think even if a natural disaster comes, they won't starve.
Sure enough, the sudden appearance of sweet potatoes helped the people to fill their stomachs after this natural disaster.
The most important thing is that the sweet potato is very drought-resistant, which gives hope to the people in drought-stricken areas.
Thus, this natural disaster was overcome quietly and quietly.
The common people were all grateful for having a good emperor, and they thought that God had sent people to help him early on.
Xu Zhexing took part in this year's imperial examination and was chosen by the emperor as the third place winner.
He became a new noble in the court, and many old aristocratic families wanted to marry into his family.
After all, he is the definite heir to the Marquis of Loyalty Mansion. If she really marries him, she will be a marquis' wife of the highest rank.
But her personality is directly proportional to her grades.
There were shameless people who deliberately framed him, trying to make him take responsibility, but he didn't play by the rules at all.
If someone sent his own daughter to her bed, he would strip her naked.
It was placed outside the family's house for everyone to see.
As for whether his daughter was dead or alive, it had nothing to do with him at all.
There was a woman who jumped into the water in front of him and wanted him to save her.
He simply took a pole and, on the surface, asked her to grab it and pull her up, but in fact he secretly used force to push the girl's head into the water.
Until someone thought that it had been successful and ran over to check.
He then gave the bamboo pole to the man, saying that he had no strength in his hands and the woman who fell into the water was too fat.
I feel so sorry for not being able to rescue her.
After several times, everyone realized that it was not easy to plot against him.
Gradually, everyone gave up the idea, and those who really wanted to get married would ask someone to hint to both of them.
Shuangshuang would inquire about the girl through both open and covert means, and only if she found out that the girl was indeed a good person would she mention it to her son.
As for whether their son is willing or not, both of them will not get involved.
It was not until Xu Zhexing was 22 years old that he was married to the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenyuan who accompanied her father back to Beijing to report on his work. The story of the beauty saving the hero was finally settled.
After the rich girl got engaged to Xu Zhexing, she boasted about it to her best friend.
How bravely he had saved Xu Zhexing.
Her close friends who had been in the capital all looked at her with strange expressions.
I really don't know how to tell her that your fiancé is actually quite skilled.
No one was optimistic about this couple, thinking that Xu Zhexing had a hot temper and his wife lacked the chastity of a girl.
But unexpectedly, after they got married, they lived in harmony and were very loving.
On the surface, the eldest lady seems to be in charge of all the family affairs, but in fact, no one knows that the eldest lady is under the control of the sinister official.
And Bonnie didn't know when, but she fell in love with Duan Ruichen's son.
Looking at the young master of the Duan family with panda eyes kneeling in front of her, Shuangshuang was speechless.
I really want to ask, what exactly did he see in Bonnie?
I get beaten up by him from time to time, but we actually developed feelings for each other?
Shuangshuang gave half of all the shares in the cooperation between herself and Duan Ruichen to Baoni as a dowry.
With this dowry, he will not only have money to spend in the Duan family, but also have confidence.
Shuangshuang lived a very comfortable life, except that Xu Dashan would show up in front of him from time to time to annoy him.
Therefore, when the daughter-in-law came home, all the family belongings were handed over to her.
But he couldn't wait to drive his carriage out and wander around the world.
Five years later, I received a letter from Bonnie saying that she was finally pregnant and missed her mother.
Shuangshuang then rode back to the capital at full speed.
After all, giving birth to a child for a woman in this dynasty was like going through the gates of hell, so she stayed by her side to feel at ease.
When the child was born at the end of the month, Shuangshuang was ready to leave Beijing again, but she met Xu Dashan who was riding a horse and blocked her way.
At this moment, the look in Xu Dashan's eyes when he looked at her was completely different from before. Although there was guilt and a desire to remarry her in his eyes before, there was no such deep love between husband and wife.
But this time it was different. The look in his eyes when he looked at Shuangshuang was full of sorrow.
He called out softly, "Wife, do you really not want me anymore?"
Shuangshuang answered directly and whipped his horse.
"You were the one who didn't want me first, stop confusing right and wrong in front of me!"
This time, neither of them came back until Xu Dashan died.
Before his death, he submitted a memorial to appoint Xu Zhexing as the heir apparent of the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness.
