The blackened marquis insists that the husband should be more valuable than the son!

Xue Mingyue didn't understand how the words turned to this point.

...at the beginning of the year?

She blinked her eyes and quickly went through the old princess's words in her mind, wondering about Xie Lang's purpose in asking the other party to say these words. However, before she could figure it out, old princess Cen slowly said again:

"I urged him a few years ago. At his age, he has no intention of having sex and there is no one in the backyard. A grandmother will naturally be anxious."

In fact, even if Xie Lang didn't say it at the time, she would have started looking for a wife for him.

It's just that her grandson has been very independent since he was a child. Before he nodded in agreement, Princess Cen could only look at each other secretly. If she really made a decision for him rashly, I'm afraid he would also cancel the engagement. .

Princess Cen twisted the Buddhist beads on her wrist and said with a smile: "I really had a headache at that time. I don't know how many hairs I have turned gray because of this. Who knew that he suddenly changed his mind at the beginning of the year? I asked him if he was interested in it." Which girl he married, but he didn’t tell me.”

"He only said that he had his own arrangements for this matter and asked me not to interfere."

This is more like Xie Lang's style of doing things.

Xue Mingyue was choked when she heard this, and couldn't help but clicked her tongue in her heart. I dare to believe that this guy's temper is still as good as ever.

However, the martial arts competition takes place in July and August, so more than half a year has passed since the beginning of the year.

What has Xie Lang been doing these past six months?

With his status as Marquis of Dingyuan, which noble girl could he not marry? There is no need for multiple military qualifications.

... Thinking of the painting he found yesterday, a guess suddenly appeared in Xue Mingyue's mind. She raised her eyes and looked over, with a slight twitch in her mouth: "Grandma doesn't want to say that I am the one the Marquis wants to marry, right?"

Princess Cen looked at her with a smile.

This reaction is equivalent to acknowledging that the person is indeed her.

Xue Mingyue's face was full of doubts. Even though she had already speculated, she still felt that the result was quite outrageous and ridiculous.

Before that incident happened, she had never even met the young marquis, who was famous all over the capital. Even if she later married into the marquis' mansion, she never expected that this husband would really respect her and love her.

After two lifetimes, she had already figured it out.

But now he told her that Xie Lang had wanted to marry her for a long time. Is this possible?

No one else would believe this.

Xue Mingyue tightened her grip on the stove, curled her lips, shrugged her shoulders, and said nonchalantly: "You don't have to make up for the Marquis. We all know what's going on between us, so there's really no need to make up stories for him."

This is not how Nuwa mended the sky.

When Princess Cen heard this, she couldn't help but smile, shook her head and said, "At that time, I didn't know it was you he was talking about."

"But I wonder if you still remember that there were so many invitations to invite you to banquets in the past six months? Parties such as flower viewing banquets, polo matches, and meandering water bottles, you were all asked to go by name."

Xue Mingyue was stunned for a moment and met her eyes.

The tone of these words was so firm that Xue Mingyue subconsciously recalled whether this was the case at the time, only to realize that it was indeed the case.

After a moment, she shook her head: "Most of these banquets have invited girls of the right age from various families in the capital. It's not just me. It's just a post..."

"Posts are no longer sent to Mr. Lin like before."

Princess Cen completed her words and smiled faintly: "That's because I also wanted to know who the girl Jinglan was interested in, so I chatted with the ladies when I went to the palace for a banquet."

Xue Mingyue's eyelids twitched slightly: "..."

At that time, Xue Xujun and Mrs. Lin were already choosing a marriage for her, but suddenly there were so many invitations. She thought that these two people finally couldn't hold it anymore and wanted to take her to show off their wealth to other people's homes.

Although it's not nice to say this, she was indeed faced with the situation of being 'sold' at that time.

Every time I go to a banquet, I feel terrified, for fear that someone will pull me closer to take a look.

Unfortunately, these invitations were turned down even if they could not be returned. Eight times out of ten, they had to go to the appointment. Even the excuse of pretending to be sick was not available. Who said that almost all the girls of the right age in the capital were invited?

She could only rack her brains to behave appropriately.

If you perform too well, you will be noticed. If you perform too poorly, you will be noticed. Only mediocrity will not be noticed.

The matter of daring to love was actually promoted by Princess Cen behind the scenes.

Xue Mingyue asked with some difficulty: "Then how did you guess that the person the Marquis was talking about was me?" She tried her best not to stand out. It could be said that she was invisible to everyone. How did they discover her?

Unexpectedly, Princess Cen smiled and shook her head.

"I didn't find it."

"??"

Perhaps the confusion on her face was too genuine. Princess Cen explained: "I have been looking for him for half a year and I have guessed all the people Jinglan can come into contact with on weekdays, but they are not the people he said they were."

Because of this, she also doubted whether he was lying to her.

Until, Xie Lang won the first place in the martial arts competition on his own.

"After he returned home that day, he found me and told me that he wanted to ask me to clean up Zhuangzi in the suburbs for summer vacation as a banquet place, and arrange the guests who came to congratulate him on winning the martial arts championship here."

"It was also on that day that he said he would like to find a matchmaker to visit him in a few days."

Xie Lang finally spoke out, which was a good thing.

Thinking of this, the smile on Old Princess Cen's face faded. This matter is not a secret in the mansion. Everyone knows that the master of the Hou Mansion is planning to consider marriage. The future hostess will appear at the banquet. Among women.

But what I didn't expect was that Bai Zhenzhen would go all out to drug him and frame him.

Suddenly a good thing turned into a bad thing.

Xue Mingyue's pupils shrank slightly and she tightened her fingers on the stove. Even now, she still felt unreal. She didn't feel like having a pie hit her head at all. She just felt ridiculous: How could it be?

It can be seen from Xie Lang's attitude towards her that he actually doesn't care about her, so how is this possible?

Her mind was confused for a moment.

The experiences of the first half of her life were hurriedly passed through in her mind. From the time she married into Dingyuan Marquis Mansion to the time when Xie Lang was convicted and exiled to Northern Xinjiang, it lasted nearly three years. Xie Lang was not very fond of her. Don't ask.

How could he marry her just because he liked her?

Wasn't the information revealed by Old Princess Cen just to explain this to her?

But if one wants to say that Xie Lang has ulterior motives for her, the Xue family seems to have nothing worthy of his plot. It is true that Xue Xujun is the minister of the Ministry of Rites, but the Xue family's family background is not good, and this generation has just changed families.

The Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is a distinguished family, and no matter how you look at it, it is the Xue family that has the upper hand.

Besides liking her, what other reason could Xie Lang have for wanting to marry her?

Xue Mingyue pursed her lips. Even though she was in a warm room, she still felt her hands and feet were cold. There were so many things that she couldn't figure out, so many that she didn't even have a clue and couldn't start.

"I know you have a lot of resentment towards Jinglan in your heart, but it's not like he doesn't take you into consideration."

Princess Cen sighed: "His Majesty has been trying to take over the Dingyuan Army for his own use over the years, suppressing Jinglan everywhere, especially this year. He can only focus on the army."

That's why the situation in Fuzhong was ignored.
