famous concubine

Chapter 435
He frowned and walked silently in the direction of the household department.But he always felt that someone was following him behind him, but when he wanted to turn around to find out the follower, he couldn't see anything, there was nothing behind him, let alone a person, not even a shadow.

He walked all the way, and this feeling was always with him; after a few downs, he began to doubt his original firm idea. Maybe he hadn't had a good rest recently, and he probably really had hallucinations.

But this situation lasted for a while, and it didn't change.Dongfangxian lived in a tense mood day after day, and his temper became more gloomy and irritable.

This day was already the third time in less than ten days that he ran into Censor Zhongcheng on the way.

Dongfang Xian returned to the mansion with a gloomy face. Knowing that he hadn't had a good rest recently, his wife made him some soothing soup.

"Xian'er, you've been very emaciated recently, did you encounter any trouble in the household department?"

"I'm fine, mother, you don't have to worry; if you have time, go to Qixiang Garden to see Wu'er." Dongfang Xian buried his head and drank the soup. Hearing his wife's question, he frowned slightly, and habitually perfunctory his wife .

"Hey, Xian'er, Wu'er is already like this...Mother can only rely on you from now on, you have to be good and nothing will happen to you." Madam suddenly sighed for some reason, thinking about that half-crazy woman. The half-foolish daughter felt panicked, "If you feel unhappy about something, why don't you find a time to ask Miss Geng's family to go out for fun?"

"Relieve the suffocation in your heart, and increase the relationship between the two of you; in my opinion, in the future, you should be transferred from the household department and work elsewhere. Maybe you can flex your muscles when you go to other places..." The wife looked at Dongfang Xian kindly, with a sense of concern and sincerity.

She thought that Dongfang Xian's recent depression and unhappiness were simply due to his unsuccessful career.

Listening to her nagging, Dongfang Xian was originally a little impatient; but after listening for a while, his heart suddenly brightened. These days, because of that incident, he has forgotten that there is still the Geng Mansion and Geng Yannuan He hasn't forgotten his original intention of trying to get close to Geng Yannuan, and now it seems that it's time to use this card.

"Mother, you should pick a time to visit the Geng Mansion." Dongfang Xian thought for a while, clenched his fists, as if he had made up his mind, "It's time to discuss with the Geng Mansion and arrange my marriage with Yan Nuan. "

When Madam heard this, she was pleasantly surprised and said joyfully, "Xian'er? Are you serious? Mother thought you were bothered recently and didn't even think about getting married."

"Mother, you're so excited, I'm also at the age to get married." Dongfang Xian smiled dryly, "Yan Nuan and I agree, marry her home as soon as possible, and I will feel at ease as soon as possible."

An Xin's name is righteous and smooth, with the help of Geng Yuan's power in the Ministry of Officials.

The madam didn't know what he was hiding in his heart, only when he had figured it out, he talked happily for a while, and then left the Fuzhi courtyard.

The next day, Madam actively asked people to prepare grand gifts, and then visited Geng Yuan and his wife in Geng's residence.

Dongfang Xian originally thought that when he returned home in the evening, he would definitely hear good news from his wife.

However, he unexpectedly discovered that things deviated from his original estimate again.

"Xian'er." Seeing him coming back, Madam concealed a hesitant expression on her face, "Mother wants to tell you..."

Seeing her hesitant look, Dongfang Xian felt chills immediately, and said in a somewhat anxious voice, "Mother, just tell me what's going on, do you still need to hesitate to talk to your son?"

"Xian'er, I went to Geng's Mansion early this morning." Madam gave him a helpless look, then stepped into the room, sat down by the low couch, drank two more sips of tea to moisten her throat, and then said slowly : "Madam Geng's meaning..."

Seeing this, Dongfang Xian also walked into the room, sat down opposite her, glanced at the table casually from the corner of his eyes, picked up another cup of tea on the table, and drank the whole cup of tea with a grunt.

He suppressed his irritability, and said, "Mother, you don't mean that Mrs. Geng doesn't agree with my marriage with Yan Nuan, do you?"

The madam shook her head, but her expression was still displeased, she glanced at Dongfang Xian, and said, "That's not true, but when my mother left today, I found out that Mrs. Geng's body is not very cheerful recently; I secretly mentioned you to Mrs. Geng." When marrying Yan Nuan, she used the excuse of the old man, saying that she was afraid that the wedding would offend the old man; from what she said, it seemed that she was not very willing to marry Yan Nuan so soon."

When Dongfang Xian heard this, his triangular eyes showed a bit of coldness and gloom for a moment.

He clenched his fists and pounded on the table silently. After a while, he slowly said: "Will you offend the old man when you hold a wedding? It's just nonsense. She is clearly evading, and she is brooding over Geng Qi's poisoning incident. "

Madam moved her lips, glanced at Dongfang Xian, and then lowered her eyelids helplessly.

Even if Mrs. Geng really cared about Geng Qi's affairs and refused to let Geng Yannuan marry into the Dongfang Mansion at this time, it was reasonable, and she couldn't say anything about them, after all, what happened that time was their fault.

As for the matter of Geng Qi... Madam thought quietly for a while, looked at Dongfang Xian with a gloomy face, and then said again after a long while: "Xian'er, since this matter cannot be rushed, let's wait for a while and wait for Mrs. Geng to recover. It's so neat, mother will go to Geng's mansion and mention it to them again."

Dongfang Xian propped his forehead, nodded indifferently, and said, "Well, let's do it that way."

Since the Geng Mansion's road is temporarily blocked, he has no choice but to think of another way.

He couldn't let himself be trapped in a stalemate.

The madam watched his face fluctuate in silence, and couldn't hide her worry for a moment: "Xian'er, don't worry, the marriage of our two families has been agreed long ago, Madam Geng can only evade at most, and she dare not break the contract." .”

"Well, since you like it, mother will definitely let Miss Geng marry you." Madam thought that he was unhappy because he couldn't marry Geng Yannuan as soon as possible.

Dongfang Xian glanced at her indifferently, nodded symbolically, and didn't bother with this topic any more.

"Mother, Su Lian has lived in our house for a while, right?" Dongfang Xian's eyes flickered, as if he had thought of something else, "She is not young anymore, it seems that mother also needs to bother to make arrangements for her. Just do it."

Madam was stunned when she heard the words, then she seemed to understand something, she turned her eyes, looked at Dongfang Xian, and said with a bit of inquiry: "Xian'er means... to get Su Lian to marry into the Prince's Mansion as soon as possible?"

"Mother, I believe that Uncle and the others will be happy to see this matter come to pass." Dongfang Xian looked at his wife noncommittally, with determination in his usual tone.

Madam thought for a while before saying: "Well, I was too busy a few days ago; I haven't entered the palace to visit the empress for quite a while."
