The eldest son of the concubine, Xu Yanqing, was the eldest son of the younger generation in Xu Family. If he had not been married all this time, it would have been difficult for his younger brothers and sisters to get married first.

For this matter, the Madame Jiang had always wanted to blame Xu Yanzhu for not marrying her.

But what she did not know was that although Xu Yanqing was not married, and Xu Yanzhu was not married, she did not have any intention of betrothing her.

After all, it was very rare to see a girl that had yet to be engaged at the age of eighteen.

At this time, Xu Mingyuan received the Madame Ye's hint and hurriedly looked at him, saying: ”Mother, your son has returned this time with another happy occasion that I'm sure you are aware of.”

After the Old Madame Xu heard Xu Mingyuan's joyful words, she only raised her eyes and glanced at him.

Seeing Old Madame Xu's reaction, Xu Ming Yuan's heart skipped a beat. He immediately remembered this important matter, and did not ask for her mother's opinion first.

However, this matter was not something he could decide.

Thinking up to here, Xu Mingyuan braced himself and continued to look at Old Madame Xu: ”Empress's family has a grandnephew granddaughter who is around the same age as Yan Qing. She explained everything clearly and bestowed the marriage to Yan Qing, ordering her Xu Family to marry a new wife within this year.”

It wasn't wrong for Xu Mingyuan to push this matter to the empress.

However, because of her status as a Madame Ye, if they did not agree, the Queen would not decree the marriage.

When Xu Mingyuan's voice fell, and the others had yet to respond, Madame Jiang first looked at everyone in the courtyard in shock.

She hadn't thought that the empress would set her sights on Yan Qing in the main house.

You have to know, the empress came from the mountain Yin Madame Hu, which was an aristocratic family, and was not something that their Xu Family could compare to.

She only had to think for a moment to know who the niece of the empress was.

Thinking up to here, the Madame Jiang opened her mouth as she snickered, ”Could it be that even at the age of eighteen, Madame Hu has not …”

”Madame Jiang!” Before Madame Jiang could finish speaking, she was interrupted by the Old Madame Xu.

Only after hearing Old Madame Xu interrupt her voice did Madame Jiang come to her senses. The Empress and the mountain yin Madame Hu were still standing behind this Madame Hu woman, and they were not someone she could look down upon.

Seeing that Madame Jiang finally did not speak, she looked up and glanced at Xu Yanqing, and finally said: ”This matter, does Yanqing wish to do so?”

Xu Yanqing didn't expect that her grandmother would directly ask her about it when both her parents were around.

After being stunned for a moment, he stood up and bowed to Old Madame Xu, ”Grandmother, this grandson is willing.”

After all, since he had married the Mountain Heaven Madame Hu girl, he would be able to gain a great deal of strength and his path to the government would be much smoother in the future.

Seeing Xu Yanqing nod and admit it, Old Madame Xu sighed, ”I didn't expect that even after so many years, my Xu Family was still unable to escape from such a mess.”

Hearing the Old Madame Xu's emotional words, the Madame Ye was just about to open her mouth to refute, but she was suddenly interrupted by the Madame Jiang who had figured out what was going on.

”Sister-in-law is truly willing, Madame Hu women are not easy to marry, if not careful, she would push the Xu Family to the top of the imperial court!”

Just as Madame Jiang finished speaking with jealousy, Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu in confusion.

Seeing her husband frown slightly, she shook his arm worriedly and asked softly, ”Hubby, what do you mean by that, Second Sister-in-law?”

Dong Shu's voice was low, adding on to the fact that everyone in the hall was attracted by Xu Yanqing's proposal to marry a Madame Hu woman, no one paid any attention to her.

After Xu Shiqiu heard Dong Shu's voice, he instantly regained his senses. Looking at her, he thought for a moment, then said, ”The crown prince that the empress gave died young, and the empress has no son at this time. His Madame Hu is related to our Xu Family, so this matter is not simple.”

Xu Shiqiu didn't know if Young Girl would understand after he gave such a simple explanation, but he didn't know that Dong Shu would ask him. He only wanted to divert his attention.

Seeing that Xu Shiqiu was no longer frowning, Dong Shu felt satisfied.

She did not understand much, but she did not speak, and only smiled with satisfaction at Xu Shiqiu.

Seeing Young Girl smile, Xu Shiqiu realized what she meant after being stunned for a moment.

Resisting the urge to laugh, he nodded at her before continuing to look at his big brother and second brother's family.

She looked at her brother and sister-in-law's expressions and instantly became flustered. Just as she was about to proudly speak up again, Old Madame Xu suddenly spoke up to stop her, ”Do you think that Xu Family can stay out of this? You have a way to keep my Xu Family out of the picture? ”

Old Madame Xu was stunned for a moment. She looked at the old granny in confusion, but seeing that she was no longer looking at her, she quickly shut her mouth and did not speak again.

Old Madame Xu's words were not wrong. Her daughter had married into Fifth Prince, so regardless of whether Xu Yanqing had married the Mountain girl or not, their Xu Family would not escape this matter.

However, if they did not have the empress's bestowal of marriage and did not have the mountain yin Madame Hu marriage, their Xu Family could still be kept a low profile for at least a few years.

But now that they had been bestowed a marriage, the Xu Family was immediately placed in front of the few princes.

Old Madame Xu clearly understood this matter and let out a long sigh.

Afterwards, she shifted her gaze from Madame Jiang to Xu Mingyuan and Madame Ye who were seated on the other side.

”Since this marriage was arranged by the empress and is also a Madame Hu woman, you should head back to the capital early to prepare this matter.”

When Old Madame Xu's words fell, the Xu Family Room immediately let out a sigh of relief.

After all, even though this matter was bestowed upon her by the empress, if the Old Madame Xu wasn't satisfied, then it wouldn't be good to give the Madame Hu girl a look in the future.

Fortunately Old Madame Xu understood the crux of the matter and she did not stop him.
