Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 194

It was already the afternoon of the second day when the news of Xiao Wenqing's miscarriage reached Prime Minister Ling's ears. He was very shocked and sent someone to send a message to his wife, asking her to take better care of his daughter-in-law.When Ling Yuxuan returned home in the evening, he immediately called Ling Yuxuan to his study to comfort him.

"Father, Wenqing Xiaochan is in a very bad mood. My son is worried that she will fall in love with her, and I hope to take her to live in that house in the west of the city for a while. Do you think it's okay?" Ling Yuxuan cupped his hands to test his father.The big house in the west of the city was rewarded to him by the emperor when he made some meritorious service.He went to see it once. Although the house was not comparable to the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was still a big house with five entrances and a garden.The capital is very expensive, and ordinary officials cannot afford this kind of house.

"You mean, you want to move out?" Prime Minister Ling's eyes flashed, his face sank like water.

"Father, the boy is just taking Wenqing out for a while, so as not to worry Wenqing." Ling Yuxuan explained politely.

"Yuxuan, your third brother is still living in the mansion as a concubine. You are my concubine, how can you move out? Doesn't this make others laugh at our Ling family?" Prime Minister Ling said displeased.If all the children and grandchildren move out, there will only be a couple of old couples and a few concubines who are also aging in the huge prime minister's mansion.The house is deserted and lifeless!

"Father, my son has already established a business, but he has always been under your protection, father. I don't know if he can really support his own family in the future." Ling Yuxuan said.If he can also get his father's support this time, Wen Qing will be able to break away from her mother-in-law's control.

"Is that so..." Prime Minister Ling twisted his beard and thought about it.

Finding that his father was really considering his own opinion, Ling Yuxuan, who was just probing, suddenly gained some confidence, and continued: "Father, Wen Qing is my wife, and I very much hope that she can grow into a qualified headed mistress." If the mother does not delegate power, Wen Qing, like the third sister-in-law, can only be a submissive little daughter-in-law.

"Well, I know what you're thinking, it's just..." Prime Minister Ling paused, and said, "Your mother has always been in charge of the rear house affairs, and she doesn't want to let me go and I can't talk about her. As for you moving out Note, that is not in line with common sense, and I cannot allow it."

"Father, since it is inconvenient for the child to move out, please allow the child to come to Fushouyuan's future daily expenses and servant employment, so that Wenqing can handle all the internal affairs of the Fushouyuan alone." Ling Yuxuan cupped his hands, "I really want to Try to live without the protection of your parents' wings." Some of the old people in his courtyard were specially equipped for him by his father, and some were sold to the prime minister's house and the contract was in the hands of his mother.He will keep the ones specially equipped by his father for him, and he wants to take this opportunity to kick them all back to his mother.

Prime Minister Ling thought for a while, then nodded and said, "That's fine. I'll talk to your mother. From now on, you will bear all the expenses of the Fushouyuan, and you and Wen Qing will be the masters of the servants' employment." It seems that they are still a family.

"Boy, thank you father for your support." Ling Yuxuan said happily.With his father's permission, he went a little too far, and his mother couldn't press him with "unfilial piety".

Prime Minister Ling sighed, "You know your mother has a heart problem, so you should be more considerate of her." Although he didn't care about the affairs of the inner house, he paid more attention to his youngest son than any other son of his.It's not that he doesn't know that his wife hates the youngest son, but there are some things that cannot be said.

"Boy knows." Ling Yuxuan said with a serious face.He wasn't sure if his father knew that his mother was responsible for Wenqing's miscarriage.If he knew, how would his father deal with this matter?At most, it was just a reprimand. Could it be that the father punished the mother to kneel in the ancestral hall or divorced her for the grandson who didn't even have a shape?

"Yuxuan, I have an idea that can relieve your mother's distress, and I've always wanted to tell you." Prime Minister Ling said pleasantly, with a hint of discussion in his words.

"Father, please tell me." Ling Yuxuan said.

"Yuxuan, I have often dreamed about your elder brother in the past two years." Prime Minister Ling sighed, "He has passed away for 24 years in a blink of an eye."

"Father..." Ling Yuxuan said in surprise.What does father want to say?
"Your elder brother died young, leaving no man and half woman behind. After a hundred years from your mother and me, no one will remember him anymore." Prime Minister Ling showed sadness.A man always has a special affection for his first son, especially if he is a legitimate son who can inherit the family business.Back then, he asked the prince's teacher to enlighten the eldest son, personally wrote copybooks for the eldest son, taught him how to write hand in hand, and would correct the essays for him no matter how busy he was with business.He spent countless efforts on his eldest son, but unfortunately... oh...

"Father, elder brother's spirit card has always been placed in my Ling family's ancestral hall, so naturally my descendants and I will worship him in the future." Ling Yuxuan said puzzled.

"Hey, Yuxuan, as a father, let's just say it straight. As a father, I want to give your elder brother a adoptive son, so as to continue the incense of your elder brother's lineage, and let your elder brother have descendants to worship in the world." Prime Minister Ling said seriously.
