Chapter 337 Our Boy

The eldest wife of the Hou Mansion, Mrs. Zhang, is the mother of Xiao Tuo and Xiao Xiao.

Hearing the old man's order, Mrs. Zhang shook her head lightly, "Why do you need to sprinkle salt on the wound?"

Lord Hou looked at her calmly, "You have always been sensible, so I don't need the old man to explain why, it is related to the wealth and lives of hundreds of people in our Xiao family, even though we have kept a low profile and restrained our edge these years, the emperor still fears us , now that the princess has learned the truth, if she goes to find Xiao Xiao, will Xiao Xiao be able to resist it?"

He looked around, lowered his voice and said: "The emperor is just sick, he hasn't died yet!"

Mrs. Zhang was silent. Yes, Xiao Xiao had no ability to resist the princess, but if the princess said a soft word in front of him, he would even give her his life.

Once the two get entangled, there will be endless troubles.

Especially in these years, the power of the princess has become more and more astonishing. Behind her are the Prince Regent, Prince An, Prince Li, the Chen family, and the Hu family. Most importantly, they have strong financial resources. How could the emperor let Xiao Xiao marry her?

Once the two misunderstandings are resolved and they are together again, no one can stop them, how will the emperor treat the Xiao family?

Mrs. Zhang came to the gate of the princess mansion with all kinds of helplessness and grief.

She got out of the carriage and put on a smiling face. The concierge heard that it was the wife of the Hou Mansion, so she went to report first, and then came out to lead Mrs. Zhang in.

When Mrs. Zhang saw Zhuang Zhuang, her heart ached slightly. The princess who used to be a high-spirited princess had become so pale and thin now.

"Ms. Zhang sees the princess!" Mrs. Zhang saluted politely.

"Ma'am, you don't need to be too polite. Sit down." Zhuang Zhuang looked at Mrs. Zhang calmly. She almost became his mother-in-law.

Almost!

Mrs. Zhang thanked her softly. After sitting down, she looked at Zhuang Zhuang and said, "Princess's complexion is a little bad, please take care of yourself."

"I'm fine, Mrs. Xie is concerned." Zhuang Zhuang looked at her, "Madam is here today, what's the matter?"

The people of the Xiao family have not been in touch with her for many years, Zhuang Zhuang was very surprised to come today, but he felt that her intentions for coming were not good.

Mrs. Zhang hesitated for a moment, and could hardly bear to say what Master Hou had ordered.

Zhuang Zhuang said indifferently: "Madam, if you have something to say, just say it."

Mrs. Zhang smiled, "Nothing special, just remembering that the Xiao family and the princess mansion are also related by marriage. Qingqiu is the princess's maid. Since entering the mansion, she has strictly abided by women's morals, worked hard at the family affairs, and managed the general's mansion in a leak-proof manner. The concubine came here specially to thank the princess for her teaching."

After hearing this, Zhuang Zhuang smiled softly, with a cold smile, "You don't have to thank me, it's her luck!"

Mrs. Zhang didn't speak, her throat seemed to be blocked by a ball of cotton wool, she couldn't swallow or spit out, it was extremely uncomfortable.

Qionghua is a strong tempered person, she said angrily: "I dare say that your coming today will make things worse, why bother? The princess had a friendship with his wife in the past, so there is no need to hurt people like this. The affairs of your Xiao family have nothing to do with the princess mansion, so there is no need to blabber." Come to thank the princess."

Mrs. Zhang was ashamed, "Princess, forgive me, my concubine... hey, that's all, I think the princess understands what I mean. Although my concubine's actions are selfish, they are forced to do so. I hope the princess can understand."

Zhuang Zhuang stretched out his hand, rubbed the center of his brows, and said tiredly: "Yes, everyone has a last resort, everyone has their own difficulties, go, madam, Xiao Xiao and I ended eleven years ago, go back Tell Hou Ye, don't worry, I won't hurt the Xiao family, and I'm not the girl who put love above all else eleven years ago, and knows what to do and what not to do."

Mrs. Zhang felt very uncomfortable when she heard that, in front of Zhuang Zhuang, she felt very despicable.

She had no face to see Zhuang Zhuang again, and got up to leave.

Naturally, Xiao Xiao was also warned by Lord Hou. Xiao Xiao didn't say a word the whole time, but at the end, he said, "Grandson knows how to do it."

After he left, he didn't know where he could go. The Hou Mansion didn't want to go back, and the General's Mansion didn't want to go back. From his grandfather's mouth, he knew that Zhuang Zhuang had already learned what happened back then, but so what? Eleven years ago we couldn't be together, but now we can?

He came to Juxianju, found a private room to get drunk, and drank five catties of spirits by himself. He lay down on the table and drank until he felt nothing in his heart.

In his dizziness, he seemed to hear someone walking in, and someone sat down gently, right beside him.

There was someone hugging him, talking in his ear, he couldn't hear what he said, but he was nostalgic for this tenderness, this long-lost tenderness.

Just like the first time he hugged Zhuangzhuang and kissed her, he was so desperate, how much he wanted to find himself.

They can't go back, they don't have the courage and innocence of the past.

"Strong!" He chewed the name between his lips and teeth, feeling the hot tears on the face of the person holding him.

Zhuang Zhuang did indeed come, when the dark guards found him, she came.

She hugged him, she had no other extravagant thoughts, she just hoped that she would remember this feeling, she had forgotten for a long time, this feeling of skin-to-skin contact.

He finally regained his focus and looked at her.

Zhuang Zhuang backed away and looked at him with a smile, "I know you're here, so I'll come and talk."

Xiao Xiao was dizzy, not sure if it was because of her smile.

He stretched out his hand, brushed his rough fingertips across her cheeks, wiped away the tears, and murmured: "In my heart, a person is like a baby, why do other people hurt like this?"

Zhuang Zhuang laughed with tears in his eyes, "Look at you, you are so stupid!"

"Ever since I entered the palace, you have called me stupid, but now that I think about it, I'm probably really stupid!" He laughed childishly, with drunkenness and pain in his eyes, "It's just such a foolish person, You have been reading for so many years, aren't you even more stupid?"

Zhuang Zhuang smiled even more, "Yeah, not all the way, we can't go together."

"Yes!" He looked at her stupidly, reluctant to take his eyes away.

"Do you still remember? Once we went out of the palace to catch a temple fair and were dispersed by the crowd. How did you find me?"

Xiao Xiao smiled, "Remember, I stood on the tower with a torch, and then lit the fireworks, and you came towards the fireworks. I looked down and saw you, sliding along the row of red lanterns hanging on the tower Go down and land in front of you."

"Yeah, at that moment you fell from the sky, so beautiful!" Zhuang Zhuang stretched out his hand, stroking his Weiran eyebrows and eyes, her face was full of smiles, sweet but bitter.

It was also at that moment that she decided in her heart that she would not marry unless he was the only one.

I hope that time will always freeze on that night.

She poured out a glass of wine and drank it herself. The wine was so bitter that she trembled all over.

They were like this, talking about the past, but finally found out that in the days when they were young together, they had already fallen in love with each other and swore to be together for a lifetime.

He was stupid, she was stupid, it was a childhood sweetheart created by nature, but it couldn't end well.

Zhuang Zhuang finally put his hand on his lips, and said almost inaudibly: "Xiao Xiao, if there is a next life, I am not a royal daughter, and you are not a general boy, maybe we can have a good result."

Xiao Xiao's handsome eyebrows were misty, "Yes, I just want to be an ordinary person, get married, have children, and have a smooth life."

Zhuang Zhuang stood up with a smile on his eyebrows, "I'm leaving."

Xiao Xiao stood up, leaned against the table, and watched her turn around in three steps, disappearing from his sight and disappearing from his life.
