For the death of her own daughter Hong Yuying, Zhuge Rou had been taking it to her own heart. In the past, when Hong Manor had important things to discuss, Zhuge Rou would always be present. Tonight she was not invited to attend the meeting though something was to be discussed, Zhuge Rou had an inkling of what was going on in her heart.
"How did you come to rely on my father and I at the beginning? Now my father is in trouble at the moment, you would just hit him when he is down. Hong Fang, you say, do you treat me fairly?" Zhuge Rou became unrelenting.
Hong Fang was upset. He looked up at Zhuge Rou.
Zhuge Rou looked gaunt. Her eyes were still moist and swollen because of the funeral in the daytime, and her face was no longer glammed in delicate makeup as usual. Zhuge Rou at this time looked just like a shrew who shouted abuses in the street.
Hong Fang could not help but think about Ye Yufeng he met when he went to the court this morning.
Although Ye Lingyue was dead, she made a great achievement.
After she killed the Demon Wolf, the black mist on the Xi Xia Plain also disappeared. Also she controlled the illness on Xi Xia Plain previously, so she made a great achievement.
As soon as Xia Houqi returned to the capital of Da Xia, he asked the Emperor for a reward to Ye Lingyue. The Emperor of Xia, in recognition of her extraordinary achievements, attended her funeral in person. He also conferred on Ye Huangyu as the first rank imperial mandate lady. Also he promised in person that once Ye Lingyue’s funeral period passed, he will preside over the marriage between her and Nie Feng in person.
Ye Huangyu kept calm in the court, without much joy.
After accepting the imperial title, she stood by the side of Nie Feng. The two people stood together. The man seemed a gifted youth and the woman was beautiful. So unprecedentedly matched they were!
In the court, even the officials who spurred them secretly previously, in these days, also changed their words, saying that the two were a match made in heaven.
Thinking of Ye Huangyu, and having a look at Zhuge Rou in front of him who was like a crazy woman, Hong Fang seemed disappointed in his eyes.
For the first time in years, a heart as stiff as a stone, began to feel suffering in some way.
What had he lost and what had he gained after all?
"Hong Fang, say something anyhow!" Zhuge Rou became angrier seeing Hong Fang was indifferent.
"Mother, don't embarrass my father. We are just discussing the matter of grandpa. Neither my father nor I will give up my grandpa. Hong Manor definitely is not an ungrateful one. Don't forget that grandpa is an Eight Cauldron Alchemist. " Hong Mingyue grabbed her mother and comforted her.
The words of the Hong Mingyue fell in the ears of Hong Qingyun and Hong Fang. The father and son became clear in their heart.
That was right! Though Zhuge lost the identity of rouge elder cultivator of Sky Armour Sect, he was still an Eight Cauldron Alchemist, a very good alchemist good at refining.
He was still useful to Hong Manor.
"Rou, I know you are so grieved about Yuying's death as to disturb your temperament. How can I give up my father-in-law? He is your kinsfolk, also he is mine. Just during this period, in capital of Xia, the heat is on. Especially after the sixth prince was established as crown prince, he has been suppressing Hong Manor. At this time, if we provoke Sky Armour Sect again, we will only be defeated at both front and back. My father and I have already discussed about it, and we intend to send my father-in-law to the villa house at the park in the southwest of Hong Manor. When his injury got recovered, and the trend of event of Sky Armour Sect was gone, we would invite him to come back, and then he may join in Hong Manor with the identity of a guest in Hong Manor.
Hong Fang and Zhuge Rou had been husband and wife for so many years. Even if now he had had a sense of boredom, he was still gentle on the surface.
After hearing this, Zhuge Rou felt relieved at once.
When her father deviated from Sky Armour Sect, she lost her backer.
In addition, the bitch Ye Huangyu met Hong Fang frequently in the court now and she was worried that Hong Fang would cease to be faithful.
Seeing his tone now, Zhuge Rou felt a little relieved anyway.
"I knew you wouldn't be so unkind, my Lord. " Zhuge Rou restored to be normal, and she sat aside being held by Hong Fang.
Hong Qingyun saw all this in his eyes and he disliked this daughter-in-law much more in his heart. Just having a look at the granddaughter Hong Mingyue by his side, his clouded complexion turned a little better in some way.
Hong Qingyun cleared his throat, letting the mass go down first, leaving Hong Mingyue alone beside.
He also saw that Hong Mingyue had been dispirited since she came back from North Qing.
This granddaughter of his was clever and gifted since she was young. Hong Qingyun had never seen her like this before.
"Mingyue, the Valley owner Childe Luo came to find me yesterday. He wanted to propose marriage to Hong Manor. "
As Hong Fang thought, the present Hong Manor, though looked the same as before, enjoying an established position, but in essence, it had been on the wane.
In particular, Xia Houqi became the prince, and the health of Emperor of Xia went from bad to worse. No one knew when Xia Houqi would succeed to the throne.
Xia Houqi was deeply in love with Ye Lingyue, and he also hated the guts of Hong Manor’s. The first thing he did after he enthroned, was to deal with Hong Manor.
Therefore, before Xia Houqi turned strong enough, Hong Manor must make plans as soon as possible.
In Hong Qingyun’s eyes, a haze flashed away.
"Grandpa, Mingyue is still young, I don't want to get married so early. " Hong Mingyue felt a shock in her heart. Although she had had psychological preparation much earlier, Hong Mingyue did not expect that Luo Song’s motion was so fast that he directly proposed to grandpa unexpectedly.
After coming back from the Star Cave, Hong Mingyue hated Luo Song even more. Not to mention marrying him, it was very uncomfortable to meet him.
"Mingyue, you have always been a clever child. Grandpa asks you, and you tell me the truth, have you got someone you like?" Hong Qingyun sighed.
How was it possible that he couldn’t see that Hong Mingyue did not like Luo Song at all.
The man Luo Song, except for his impressive identity, had no merit at all.
His own granddaughter was the best of the best. She could have deserved a better man, but... Hong Qingyun remembered the Dan medicine Luo Song showed to him.
It was Ninth Realm Reincarnation Dan pill! Luo Song said that as long as Hong Qingyun was willing to marry Hong Mingyue to him, he would give the Ninth Realm Reincarnation Dan pill to Hong Qingyun as a betrothal present.
Hong Qingyun had stucked in Reincarnation Channel Five more than a decade. He dreamed to make a breakthrough to step into the Supernatural Power Realm.
Once stepping into the Supernatural Power Realm, the awkward situation for Hong Manor at present, would be completely broken.
What was the matter with the secular imperial power? He could even kill the Emperor of Xia and Xia Houqi and claim himself as the emperor.
"Grandpa, I... " Hong Mingyue clenched her teeth. For a moment, she did not know what to say.
Her heart, unconsciously drifted away.
How could she tell her grandfather that the man she liked was a thousand times better than Luo Song.
That man as beautiful as flowing light and color, as cool as the snow peak, never taking anyone into his own eyes, was within sight but beyond reach.
Her so-called like, was destined to be a secret crush without any result.
Hong Mingyue did not tell grandpa about it finally.
"Grandpa, Mingyue doesn't like anyone. I know that Luo Song owns Ninth Realm Reincarnation Dan pill in his hand, which is of great benefit to Grandpa's cultivation. For the benefit of Hong Manor, for Grandpa, Mingyue is willing to marry Luo Song. " Said Hong Mingyue faintly, as if what she was talking about were someone else's marriage.
