Marry a Duke

Chapter 133: Sudden Proposal

Mingyue had already made a big fuss and didn't even allow the Huo family to come to her house.

Prince Shou has passed away for several years. It is too late and too strange for the Huo family to come and claim the relationship with a token of love just now.

Princess Shou had seen the token, and it was indeed originally owned by Prince Shou. Prince Shou had also mentioned the engagement with the Huo family once.

Huo Long was once a former subordinate of Prince Shou, and later went to Huzhou to serve as a lieutenant general. His power has gradually grown in recent years.

But the Shouwang Mansion is no longer as good as it used to be.

"Mom, I will never marry someone with the last name Huo. I don't believe dad would arrange such a marriage for me. Even if the Huo family was his old subordinate, I am his biological daughter, his only daughter. How could he treat me like this?" Mingyue felt like her world was about to fall.

Over the years, although her father was not around, she was always surrounded by people who loved and cared for her, and most of them indulged her in everything.

But now her mother actually told her that this marriage might be true.

If it is true, the Shouwang Mansion cannot be a villain who breaks its promise. She is the only bloodline of the Shouwang Mansion, so she has to marry.

"Mingyue, mother will definitely get to the bottom of this matter, so don't worry." Princess Shou was no longer able to comfort Mingyue.

Mingyue cried for a long time. If the marriage was not cancelled, she would run away from home.

She didn't like being engaged too early at all.

She had seen the man named Huo Nanfeng. He was big and strong, with a big mouth that looked like it could eat people. She had never seen anyone so uglier in her life.

Even if she was asked to marry a man like that, she would never do it even if she risked her life.

Princess Shou was in a dilemma. She couldn't bear to let her daughter suffer, but the promise Prince Shou made was broken, and he couldn't rest in peace even in his grave.

Yuan Xin and Wei Xuan rushed to Prince Shou's Mansion.

Fu Ran is here too.

It has to be said that she was rebellious. Yuan Xin was trying to provoke her with her eyes. She was impulsive and blurted out that she wanted to come too. After all, she and Mingyue were old acquaintances.

Although we haven't met many times, at least we have talked.

Wei Xuan did not object, and Yuan Xin had even less objection, so she got on the carriage and followed.

I didn't bring Wuyou with me on this trip, so I don't know what the situation is in Prince Shou's Mansion.

As soon as he entered the Prince Shou's Mansion, he heard Mingyue's crying. Fu Ran also heard some words related to this matter. If anyone else were Mingyue, they would definitely not be happy.

Yuan Xin seemed more and more anxious. He led Wei Xuan forward and called him "Second Brother Wei".

Fu Ran was not in a hurry and followed them slowly.

Mingyue cried in her yard until her voice became hoarse. Princess Shou didn't know how to persuade her. She felt sorry for her daughter, but she also had to consider her husband's promise. She was in a dilemma.

"Aunt." Yuan Xin called out from afar when she saw Princess Shou.

When Princess Shou saw her, her expression relaxed: "Yuan Xin, you are here, come and comfort Mingyue. She has been crying for a long time. If she continues like this, her body will not be able to bear it."

When Princess Shou saw Wei Xuan and Fu Ran behind Yuan Xin, she was stunned.

Why didn't anyone tell her that Wei Xuan and his wife would be coming?

"Why are the Duke of Wei and his wife here?" She stood up to greet them.

"Princess Shou, you don't have to be polite. I have heard about the Huo family. Why don't you tell me in detail about what the prince mentioned about the Huo family?" Wei Xuan said.

Princess Shou immediately asked them to take a seat and had the servants serve tea.

And comfort the moon.

"When your brother Xuan comes, he will definitely find a way to cancel this marriage for you."

Princess Shou could have swallowed her pride and canceled the marriage, but she was only saving her own face, not the face of the late Prince Shou.

When Mingyue saw Wei Xuan, she stopped crying.

With red eyes, he looked at Wei Xuan pitifully.

"Brother Xuan, I will never marry that member of the Huo family who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. If the Huo family does not cancel the engagement, I will kill Huo Nanfeng. As long as he is dead, no one can force me to get married." Mingyue said.

Princess Shou was terrified when she heard this.

"Don't talk nonsense, kid."

"I'm not talking nonsense." Mingyue was very serious.

Fu Ran didn't say much throughout the whole process, but she could see that Mingyue's attitude was very serious. She felt that it was still feasible. If the Huo family relied on the promise made by the late Prince Shou and forced Mingyue to marry into the Huo family, regardless of whether Mingyue was willing or not, this marriage would be coercion.

"I think what Princess Mingyue said makes some sense. Why does the Huo family suddenly want to arrange this marriage? Is there something else in the Shou Palace besides Mingyue herself that the Huo family can covet?"

Everything is abnormal and there must be a demon.

Why did the Huo family come at this time instead of earlier or later?

This node is also the key.

Mingyue was originally beside Yuanxin. After hearing Furan's words, she immediately walked to her side and nodded heavily.

"Yes, I think so too." She held Fu Ran's hand, as if she had finally found someone who could understand her.

Princess Shou looked worried.

"The Shouwang Mansion has long been inferior to its past and has gradually declined. This must be the truth. Mingyue cannot inherit the title. Once Mingyue gets married, the Shouwang Mansion will probably be taken back."

Princess Shou said dejectedly.

"Although Mingyue will not inherit the title, she is a princess and has a high status. If the Huo family marries the princess, they will be the son-in-law of the Shou King. Although the Shou King has passed away, his reputation remains."

Fu Ran felt that Mingyue was innocent and naive, and he really didn't want her marriage to be out of her control.

She had experienced that a marriage without one's own will was really exhausting.

"Huo Long now holds great power in Huzhou. Although Huo Nanfeng is a bastard, he is well-known. He married Mingyue to curry favor with the powerful, but - he shouldn't think of currying favor with the powerful now." Wei Xuan analyzed calmly.

Over the years, Princess Shou has met many men, and many of them have come to her to propose marriage, but Princess Shou is very picky. She once saw someone she liked and even wanted to arrange a marriage with, but she found that the other person had problems with his character.

Princess Shou decisively gave up the marriage.

Her daughter must definitely marry this rare good man in the world instead of having to compromise.

"Mingyue, don't worry. With Brother Wei's help, you will be able to cancel the engagement smoothly." Yuan Xin also walked to her side and comforted her.

Mingyue looked at Wei Xuan eagerly.

Now, she can only rely on Wei Xuan.

"Brother Xuan, you must help me."

"Don't worry, I will get to the bottom of this matter. The Huo family is extending this hand, they must want to ask for something, I want to see what they want." Wei Xuan frowned slightly when he thought about the people related to the Huo family. It seems that this matter is not simple.

"Since you don't want to get married, I will go to the Huo family tomorrow to cancel the engagement for you." Wei Xuan glanced at Princess Shou and said, "This is what our parents said. Please go with Xiu Ning."

Princess Shou nodded.

"If Xiu Ning can handle this matter properly, he will be a great benefactor to my mother and me. No matter what method you have, I will agree with it."
