If his daughter, who is as beautiful as a flower, falls into the hands of the security forces who are more ferocious than the bandits, the fate is obvious. He finally understands his daughter's original difficulties and knows that her daughter will never return to the Xu family compound in Zhujiajiao.

.

Of course Xu Haitao knew his father's attitude. A woman's death is a small thing, but a breach of integrity is a big deal. Her granddaughter has lost her innocence. From her grandfather's point of view, it would be better to die.

Later, he heard that Xu Yunyuan was now the concubine of the eldest young master Chen Tianhua and had an illegitimate son. Mr. Xu was even more worried about his granddaughter returning home.

"General Chen, I am Xu Chengzhou, the steward of the Xu Mansion. My husband and wife are waiting for you in the west wing of the east courtyard, general. Please." The chief steward of the Xu Mansion came to the car and cupped his hands.

This is the Xu Family Manor in Zhujiajiao. The butler did not mention the eldest lady at all, and they met in the east courtyard and west wing, which is where distinguished guests are informally received.

"Okay then, please lead the way, butler."

While talking, Chen Tianhua took Xu Yunyuan's arm and got out of the carriage. When he saw the woman covered in white gauze in front of him, the butler Xu Chengzhou was standing there. If this wasn't the young lady he had grown up watching, who was it?

Haven't seen him for eight whole years.

"Uncle Xu, I haven't seen you for many years, how are you?" Xu Yunyuan said first.

"well…"

Xu Chengzhou's face instantly turned pale, his lips trembled, and it took a lot of effort to utter two words, and then he turned around and bowed.

He cannot acknowledge the eldest lady in public, and he can do whatever he wants in private. Otherwise, it will ruin the Xu family's family tradition, and he will be punished by the patriarch.

Silently all the way, the group of people walked silently to the west wing of the east courtyard. Many clan members and maids and servants were peeping and whispering to each other.

When he arrived at the door of the west wing of the east courtyard, Xu Chengzhou stopped and said, "Master, General Chen has arrived..." the butler said loudly outside the door.

"Let them in!" came the voice of an adult man, accompanied by several vibratos caused by nervous coughing.

"The master and his wife are waiting for you inside. General Chen, please come in." Xu Chengzhou said softly to Chen Tianhua, glancing at Xu Yunyuan by the way.

"Thank you, Butler." Chen Tianhua cupped his hands, turned around, stepped forward and pushed the door open to enter the inner room.

Xu Yunyuan bowed to Xu Chengzhou, then followed Chen Tianhua into the inner room and closed the door smoothly.

The room inside the house is small and elegantly decorated, with famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, celadon vases at the four corners, and a rosewood screen.

There is a pair of high-backed sandalwood Taishi chairs in the middle of the room, and a sandalwood tea table in the middle. There are no guest seats or benches in the room. Obviously this is not a place to receive guests, but a place to call servants or scold descendants.

Sitting on the left and right Taishi chairs were a man and a woman.

The man should be in his fifties, with a little white hair on his temples, fair skin with little blood, thin body, wearing a wide silk Zen robe, and a pair of slender eyes that are still very bright, giving him the impression of being shrewd and capable.

The woman is forty-six or seventeen years old. Although her years have passed, her charm is still there. She is dressed luxuriously, with her hair combed on her temples and gold hairpins. She wears a white cross-collared wide-sleeved undershirt and a plain long skirt.

Seeing Chen Tianhua push the door open and come in, they all looked at this famous talent in surprise.

Chen Tianhua could naturally guess that one was Xu Yunyuan's biological father Xu Haitao, and the other noble lady was her biological mother Xi.

He took a step forward, knelt on the ground, stretched out his hands, and kowtowed: "Junior Tianhua pays homage to uncle and aunt Xu, and wishes the two elders a long life!"

Chen Tianhua had thought about it. When he entered this room, it would be more appropriate for him to treat him as an uncle and nephew as a junior.

"Father, mother, my filial daughter kowtows to my two elders." As soon as Xu Yunyuan entered the room, she lifted up her white headscarf, knelt on the ground in tears, and kowtowed three times.

"Oh General Chen, this can't be done. I'm going to hurt Xu. Please get up quickly!" Xu Haitao stood up quickly and took two steps forward to help Chen Tianhua up with both hands.

Here, Mrs. Xi and Xu Yunyuan were holding their heads and crying. I don't know if they were crying with joy or something else.

Xu Haitao's arrangement was painstaking. Faced with this third-rank official of the Qing Dynasty, a general with military power, but also his daughter's actual husband and his unrecognized son-in-law, he didn't know how to deal with it at first.

The chief butler Xu Chengzhou was clever and suggested that it would be more appropriate to receive him in the west wing of the east courtyard.

"General Chen sacrificed his life to rescue our little daughter Xu Yunyuan back then. He was the savior of our Xu family. I would like to express my gratitude to Xu." As he said this, Xu Haitao made a deep bow.

"Oh, Uncle Xu has embarrassed this junior. These past events of the past are not worth mentioning. It is the ethics of this junior to act bravely when facing justice. Moreover, a marriage was born because of this. This is destiny."

Chen Tianhua was clever and not timid, and his beautiful words also introduced the topic, which made Xu Haitao and his wife happy to listen to it.

"General Chen paid a sudden visit to Xu. Please tell me what you want." Although Xu Haitao asked knowingly, his words were as they should be, and the transition was very natural and appropriate.

"Uncles and aunts, my junior Tianhua and Yun'er regretted meeting each other so late. They fell in love secretly and made a private life-long commitment. This is against elegance. This responsibility lies with this junior and has nothing to do with Yun'er. Now this junior has made an agreement with his family and decided to

Ming Media is marrying Yun'er as his side wife, I ask the two elders for your permission!"

Xu Haitao and Xi looked at each other and said pleasantly:

"General Chen can officially marry Yun'er as his wife, and finally sees that his daughter has a good home. As her parents, of course he is very happy, but you can tell that some of the rituals of a matchmaker's marriage may be reduced, such as the wedding ceremony.

The place is on Xiangshan Road in the French Concession in Shanghai. On the wedding day, it is probably not appropriate for the Xu family’s parents to show up, so they should go back and not bow to the Xu family’s ancestral hall.”

Obviously, Xu Haitao and the others had already thought of countermeasures.

The garden villa on Xiangshan Road in the French Concession is indeed the property of the Xu family, but it is not the legal residence of the Xu family. Marrying out of the Plum Garden in Zhujiajiao is the right way.

On the wedding day, the Xu family's parents did not show up, did not kowtow to the Xu family's ancestors when they returned home, etc. This is equivalent to the fact that the Xu family still did not publicly acknowledge Xu Yunyuan's return, and instead handled it in a low-key manner.

It's okay to say whether this is okay, but it's just too unfair to Xu Yunyuan and his son Chen Mingjie. He especially doesn't want Xiaojie to be scolded as an illegitimate child by others behind his back in the future.

Chen Tianhua is a person who strives for perfection. If there is a glimmer of hope, he will never give up.

He worriedly turned his head and glanced at Xu Yunyuan beside him, and sure enough, she had lowered her head, tears falling like broken beads, her body was shaking slightly, and it took a lot of perseverance to restrain herself from crying.

"Uncle and aunt, I still want to meet Mr. Xu, Yun'er's grandfather, in person. I want to state my reasons in person and ask my uncle and aunt for their permission." Chen Tianhua cupped his hands and said firmly.

Xu Haitao looked at Chen Tianhua's resolute expression and was deeply moved. He said:

"General Chen, it's lunch time now, and the old man must still be eating. After the meal, he will take a nap. When he wakes up, Xu will report to his father again, and then he can meet with the general. According to Chen's opinion, he will take a nap
