When Xie Yuncang transferred the meaning of Emperor Yufeng to his home, there was silence in Shou'an Hall, and everyone else looked at Xie Songhua.
The old lady sighed, "Actually, we have been prepared in our hearts. It is impossible for the fourth girl to marry her until now, so it is impossible for her to marry her, alas!"
Such sighs made the atmosphere in the room more and more.
For a woman, marriage is a big joy, but now no one thinks it is a good thing for Xie Songhua to marry the little prince to be a concubine.
The little prince won’t talk about the person who has happened recently, and everything has happened. The Xie family and the eldest princess’ mansion have been considered a feud. How could the eldest princess’ mansion treat her kindly?
It is precisely because of this that the old lady kept Xie Songhua alone, and the rest of the people also took the leave with tactfulness, and there were only two grandparents and grandchildren in the room.
Seeing that she had been sitting there without saying anything, the old lady felt a little distressed, "Child, just cry if you want to cry! After leaving this door, you will swallow it no matter how uncomfortable it is. This is the emperor's life! It is also your life."
Xie Songhua also felt that she should have cried at this time, but it was strange that she really couldn't cry.
She just felt a little confused. Even though she had analyzed the marriage so thoroughly and clearly before, she still felt confused now, as if suddenly, the matter itself became another.
"The family also knows your grievances, but this is not good for people like us. Many times they can't help themselves. Your father has already fought for it. Who would help outsiders?
What's more, in the eyes of the emperor, the little prince is naturally very good, and he just thinks it is a good friend to you, but our own family knows the suffering here..."
As he was talking, the old lady cried herself first, and Xie Songhua came back to her senses from her thoughts and hurriedly comforted her.
But the old lady suddenly grabbed her hand, "Child, you won't blame the family, do you?"
Xie Songhua was a little nervous when she looked at her eyes. After thinking about it carefully, she shook her head, "Grandma, don't be too careful, I know in my heart that you and my father have tried their best."
So the old lady grabbed her hand and started to mutter, but it was just the original plan of her family about her marriage.
But all these have turned into bubbles. After the old lady finished talking, she said again: "Don't worry, even if you marry, your father will be the second assistant of Daqi and an important minister in the court. They dare not do anything to you.
If you go there, you should think more about your family. This time, it will be bad for you to have a fight with the eldest princess’s house for your sake. Perhaps, when you get married, the current conflicts can be resolved one by one."
Xie Songhua was stunned and looked at the old lady for a long time, only to feel the tip of her tongue astringent.
Even though she knew that things could not turn around, the old lady said this to her for the future of the Xie family. It was her wisdom and rational choice for so many years in the Xie family.
But this could not help but turn too fast. Soon, I had already made up my mind to marry her to the eldest princess's mansion, and... I had already placed her on the seat of the little prince's concubine.
She suddenly remembered Xie Wenyuan's words, perhaps when they went to the Princess's Mansion early this morning, they had already decided on the final plan.
Or, earlier...
Seeing that she didn't say anything, the old lady softened her tone again, "To be honest, I really can't bear to leave it. Your child has suffered so many disasters since childhood. I haven't had two comfortable days when I came to our family. I'm about to get married now.
Don't worry, your dowry will not be missing at home. If your mother doesn't talk about her, I will definitely prepare more for you. You can go back and rest. I will think about it carefully these days. If you have any questions or missing, just make a list and prepare your grandmother for you. If others have them, we four girls will have them."
After all this, what else can I say?
Perhaps at this time, she should have done something miserable as Xie Wenyuan said, but she really couldn't cry and couldn't tell her misery at this time.
So she had to bow and leave.
Everyone in Yanchuntai had already received the news, and no one dared to speak loudly, and just looked at her quietly with his eyes.
Xie Songhua entered the inner room silently and then closed the door.
The rest of the people were locked outside, and they all knew that she was in a bad mood and did not dare to knock on the door, so they were just worried secretly.
They also know the temperament of their girls. Whenever they have something to worry about, they like to be alone.
But now, the lifelong event that concerns the girl is, even a child with a strong mind can be uncomfortable. Who can feel at ease when staying in the house like this?
Therefore, at this moment, no one in Yan Chuntai was in the mood to do things. They just silently guarded Xie Songhua's door, looking at the closed door.
It took most of this time, and when it was dark, everyone finally waited for her door to open from inside.
Seeing their frowning faces, Xie Songhua laughed, "Okay, okay, what a big deal, I'll be worried like this."
Everyone looked at her in surprise. Although the expression on her face had relaxed a lot, those eyes clearly had cried.
This is not an ordinary thing for the maids who serve at Yanchuntai. Even Aunt Lan, who has served for the longest, has never seen Xie Songhua cry.
Seeing their nervous expressions, Xie Songhua sighed softly and simply sat down on the pier beside him, "That's when I didn't turn around for a while, think about what happened when I first came here? I had no one, no money, and this Yanchuntai was empty and didn't look like a serious room.
But aren’t we still living our lives now? The Princess Mansion is indeed a bit unfathomable now. However, even if I marry, I have you, I have the dowry prepared by my family, and the Xie family as my backing. Can’t I stand up again?”
Aunt Lan was filled with heartache, "How can this be the same? The girl's house is still a charmer in her parents' home. When she arrives at her in-laws' home, it is inevitable that people's faces will be looked at everywhere, let alone..."
"Aunt!" Xie Songhua interrupted her, "You must have confidence in me!"
She looked at Aunt Lan very seriously and said softly: "I can."
Everyone knew that this was not said to them, but to herself.
Aunt Lan then turned her face and wiped her tears quietly, and squeezed out a smile, "Miss is right, there was nothing at the beginning, so why don't we come here too! The soldiers come and generals block the water and soil, and life is always borne by people, no matter what they say..."
She seemed to have made up some determination, "I'm with the girl."
After saying that, he looked at Xie Songhua and said again, "I'll go with the girl."
"But..." Xie Songhua looked at her and confirmed again, "Your family..."
"The girl must have chosen a few people in the past, so I will count my family! My man also said that if there were no girls, our family would not have been excluded from that corner now. We were relying on girls, so we should naturally trust the girls more than others."
"And I!" Dingxiang quickly stood up, "I originally bought into the mansion, and I have no support in the mansion. My support is a girl. Wherever the girl goes, I will go!"
After this statement, the others from Yan Chuntai also spoke out to follow Xie Songhua.
This moved and amused her, "Okay, okay, how can it be so fast."
However, seeing that everyone's mood improved a little, Xie Songhua also breathed a sigh of relief.
It is probably related to the fact that she has no family since she was a child. She has no sense of security everywhere, so she always habitually adjusts her state.
When she was young, she lived in the hospital and would move to the place due to the hospital situation from time to time. This experience allowed her to adapt to the environment quickly.
She knew for a long time that many things can not be changed by her own efforts. She did everything she could do, and the rest was to adjust herself.
The same is true now.
Even though she knew that she would be very sad to marry into the eldest princess's mansion, since things could no longer be changed, she could only do her best to do her preparations to the best of her.
The most important thing for her is that she has worked hard to study and study this year. She must take these things with her, but the situation there is unclear. The first step is to pack up these things first and never lose them during the transfer.
I don’t know what kind of psychology it was, but Princess Huimin actually posted a post to invite her.
