Chapter 413

Lan Xin hurriedly said beside Xie Yun’s ear, “Master, why don’t you agree to the fifth miss? If you can’t marry the fifth miss, then Miss Nichang can’t enter the Xie family’s surname, Xie. Besides, doesn’t the fifth miss still have a child in her belly?”

Xie Yun listened to Qiao Ruoyi’s complaints and Lan Xin’s persuasion, but in the end, she agreed.

Fortunately, Luo Wei was married into the Qiao family, so Nichang followed the Qiao family’s surname.

If her surname was not luo, why would she care so much?

Xie Yun went to the Qiao family’s house to discuss the marriage with an yuanhou. An yuanhou naturally put on airs.

Back when he and Qiao lui came to the Qiao family’s house, Xie Yun looked down on the Qiao family’s daughter. Naturally, he had to teach Xie Yun a good lesson this time.

Xie Yun was patient. He was not afraid that an Yuan Hou would not agree. When an Yuan Hou took Qiao, Xie Yun smiled and said, “Ruoyi is more than two months pregnant. In order to avoid being criticized in the future, the marriage has to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.”

An Yuan Hou was furious. He did not have any intention to teach Xie Yun a lesson. He only proposed the marriage as soon as possible.

The Qiao family could not afford to lose face a second time.

The wedding was set a month later, the day after the double ninth day. On the tenth day of the ninth month, Liu Li left in a hurry.

When the Qiao and Xie family’s wedding was set, Chang ‘an felt that it was a matter of course. However, a group of declining aristocratic families began to cry. They thought that the Xie family still had hope of reviving the aristocratic families.

Now, their last hope had been extinguished.

Xie Yun marrying her step-daughter as the mistress could be considered to have broken the aristocratic families’emPhasis on bloodline for thousands of years. It also completely tore apart the possibility of those aristocratic families thinking that there was still a chance of prosperity.

After the palace banquet was held during the mid-autumn Festival.

Lu Chen and Qiao Jinniang brought Lu Xi, Lu Ang, and the infant princess to the Qiao family.

Qiao Jinniang came to see Old Madam Qiao today. Old Madam Qiao was old and had been coughing non-stop since autumn. She did not enter the palace today.

Seeing Qiao Jinniang arrive, Old Madam Qiao wanted to get down and pay her respects, but was stopped by Qiao Jinniang. “Grandmother, we specially came out of the palace to visit you. There’s no need to pay our respects.”

Lu Xi and Lu ang obediently walked up to old madam Qiao and called her great-grandmother.

Old Madam Qiao coughed weakly and said, “His Highness the Crown Prince is already a young boy. Ahem, ahem, that’s great, that’s great. Now that the Qiao family’s children and grandchildren have settled down, even if I die, I’ll still have the face to see your grandfather.”

Qiao jinniang said, “Grandmother, take good care of your body. Grandfather will surely hope that you can live a long life in heaven.”

Old Madam Qiao sighed and said, “I almost forgot what your grandfather looked like. If we met underground, he would definitely not dare to recognize me as an old woman.”

“Grandmother is still beautiful.”

Old Madam Qiao smiled. “He must have been mesmerized by those female demons underground.”

Qiao Jinniang listened to Old Madam Qiao’s words and thought that grandmother and grandfather must have had a very good relationship back then. It was a pity that grandfather died young. When he died, he was only in his early thirties.

Old Madam Qiao held Qiao Jinniang’s hand and said, “Empress, cough cough, grandmother knows that the Qiao family has let you down. Grandmother has one more thing to ask of you… forget it, forget it, forget it.”

Qiao jinniang said, “Grandmother, if there’s anything you want to say, just say it. If I can’t do it, I naturally won’t agree to grandmother’s request, nor will I blame you. If I can do it, I will definitely help grandmother.”

Old Madam Qiao sighed and said, “If there is one person in my life that I have let down, it would be Qiao Ruoyi’s birth mother, Aunt Hu…”

“Back then, the Qiao family suffered successive defeats. The saliva of the common people almost drowned our Qiao family. Many servants in the manor fled for their lives, but Aunt Hu remained loyal to the Qiao family. However, I have let her down.”.

Over the years, I actually knew how the Qian family bullied aunt Hu. However, I never stood up for Aunt Hu and ruoyi. Firstly, Aunt Hu was after all a servant’s concubine, and the Qian family still had a cousin in the Hou Manor.

Secondly, as a mother, it was not good for me to interfere in the matters of the Hou Manor’s backyard when there was a marquis and a wife.

“Alas, I should have allowed her to marry and set her free back then. It wouldn’t have caused her to be miserable for the rest of her life.”

Qiao Jinniang also felt that the old madam was at fault. However, at this moment, she could only console her, “Grandmother also has grandmother’s difficulties.”

Old Madam Qiao coughed twice and said, “Last year, when Ruoyi was seriously ill and unconscious, I said that if she could wake up, I would definitely personally request an imperial decree for the Hu clan. Cough Cough, empress, I know that I have let down your mother… alas.”

Qiao jinniang said, “Qiao ruoyi is now an official of the imperial court. It is within the rules to request an imperial decree for her biological mother.”

Old madam Qiao said, “Actually, when she first entered the officialdom, she had wanted to request an imperial decree for Hu, but was suppressed by the Marquis. Although this matter is within the rules, if it were to be spread out, Xiao’er would definitely be laughed at. “Also, I’m afraid that it would cause people to criticize the empress.”

Qiao jinniang said, “That’s not how it is said. Since we are a family, why should we care about what outsiders say? There are rules to follow if we are to get an imperial decree for our birth mother.

As for mother, as long as she continues to be filial to her mother in the future, she will naturally not be criticized by others. There are a lot of rumors outside, wouldn’t it be very tiring to have to worry about everything?

“I will speak to His Majesty about this matter and have his majesty bestow an imperial order on Aunt Hu.”

Qiao Jinniang left Old Madam Qiao’s courtyard and went into the hall.

Today, the Qiao family was complete. Apart from Qiao Ruofeng and his wife who were in the south of the ridge, even Qiao Ruoyin and his wife, Qiao Ruoyun, had come to the Qiao family.

They had originally come for the mid-autumn Festival, and also because the old madam was seriously ill, they had come to see the old madam for the last time.

When they heard that Qiao Ruoyi’s marriage was approaching, they planned to stay until the marriage and then leave Chang ‘an.

Qiao ruoyi was still pregnant and vomiting. With her weak appearance, it was obvious that she was pregnant.

Qiao Jinniang invited Zheng Xiao to a side room. Although she had promised the old madam, she still had to inform Zheng Xiao about the imperial decree.

When Zheng Xiao heard this.., he replied frankly, “I’m not afraid of being laughed at. All these years, so many things have happened. The Hu family has always respected me, and Ruoyi is filial. This imperial decree position was earned by Ruoyi herself. If you don’t mind, I naturally don’t mind either.

“Just as your grandmother said, when the wall of the Qiao residence fell, everyone pushed it down. The Hu family stayed loyally in the Qiao family and gave up her wonderful marriage. They gave up on your muddle-headed and blind father. It’s time to give her an imperial decree.”

When Qiao Jinniang heard Zheng Xiao scolding an yuanhou, she did not say a word.

After returning to the palace, Qiao Jinniang told Lu Chen about this matter. Lu Chen agreed, “This can be considered as adding makeup to Qiao Ruoyi.”

Qiao jinniang said, “How can you be so stingy with adding makeup? An imperial decree is not enough. As an elder sister, I can’t be stingy. No matter what, I have to add makeup to a manor and add ten thousand taels of silver.”

As soon as Qiao Jinniang said this, she heard Little Weiyang burst into tears.

Qiao Jinniang hurriedly picked up her daughter and coaxed, “What’s Wrong?”

Lu Chen said, “Maybe she can’t bear to part with this silver?”

Qiao Jinniang glared at Lu Chen. “She’s only been a few months. How can she not bear to part with it?”
