Chapter 1230: Meet You Again When Flowers Fall (3)
"Ah?" Huo Xiaoye was extremely happy because he could marry his sweetheart.
But he also knew that everything had to be done according to etiquette. He was still thinking about preparing the betrothal gifts when he heard the news that his father-in-law was coming to Yongzhou.
He had been complaining that the marriage was progressing too fast, but this person suddenly "moved forward" a big step. He was so happy that he almost lost his mind, with a silly smile on his face.
Let’s not talk about what Huo Xiaoye is thinking for now!
Along with the documents announcing Du Ruoheng's return to secular life, an imperial edict conferring the title of county lord on her was also sent to the Du family in Huanzhou.
This was something Princess Fu'an specifically requested for her junior sister. The medicine made by Du Ruoheng over the years has played a very important role in the army, and she has saved all the credit for Du Ruoheng!
When Du Ruoheng became a monk, Xuan Qingzi said that he, his last disciple, would return to secular life and get married in the future.
So in addition to the imperial edict of the county lord, Princess Fu'an also specially prepared a considerable dowry for her junior sister.
Of course, these properties will not be handed over to her junior sister until Du Ruoheng's marriage is settled, and they will be registered in full accordance with the law. This dowry belongs entirely to Du Ruoheng and will become the basis for her to get married.
Princess Fu'an's love for her junior sister shocked many people in Huanzhou.
Actually it was Mrs. Wei.
After the two families broke off the engagement, she originally wanted to wait for the storm to die down and then take advantage of the situation.
After all, even though Du Ruoheng may not marry, the other younger generations of the Du family will eventually get married. With her affairs weighing on them, the marriage will probably be difficult.
Unexpectedly, Du Ruoheng left home and became a Taoist priest. Moreover, because he had both a great doctor and a royal princess behind him, the Du family's reputation was not damaged at all, but reached an unprecedented height because of Du Ruoheng.
But she would still gossip privately with those around her: "What's the point of having such a good reputation? She is already a Taoist priest. She can't get married and will not have children. This is how her life will be. She is not a royal princess. She can still get married even if she becomes a Taoist priest."
Some people agreed with her words, but over time, many people had to take those health pills, and those who had a good relationship with her before gradually stopped interacting with the Wei family.
Moreover, the gossips she had said about Du Ruoheng had even reached General Wei at the border. After her husband wrote a letter severely reprimanding her, Mrs. Wei no longer dared to say such things - Du Ruoheng's medicine was also very important to the Wei family army.
But even so, Mrs. Wei was still proud. Even if her son did not marry a noble lady from an aristocratic family as his wife, at least he was an official now, and he also had a son and a daughter.
Now, knowing that Du Ruoheng had returned to secular life and was even named a county lady, her old problem of being "confused by anger" came back.
The servants around her felt a tingling sensation on their scalps when they saw their master lying on the bed, holding her chest and crying “Ouch, ouch”.
Mrs. Wei is not a person with a good temper. She has been "lying down" since she heard the news about Du Ruoheng, and she is dissatisfied with everything. This Nanny Yu has been slapped twice.
"Water...water!" Madam Wei felt heartburn, so she shouted for water. However, as soon as she got the cup, she threw it away. "How can I drink it when it's so hot? Are you trying to scald me to death?"
Nanny Yu signaled another maid to bring more cold water.

"It's autumn now, and you're still giving me such cold water. What are you doing? Give me this dead girl..." Mrs. Wei still didn't drink the water and started scolding.
When Nanny Yu saw this, she understood that her master didn't want to drink water at all, but was clearly looking for an excuse to vent her anger on someone.
Seeing the trembling girl, she felt sorry for her and quickly interrupted Madam Wei: "Master, I know what you are worried about. I have a suggestion. I wonder if you would like to hear it!"
"What good words can an old hag like you say?" Madam Wei said contemptuously. "Well, I'm free anyway. If you say something good, I'll let this girl go. If not, I'll kill you too."
Nanny Yu had been with Madam Wei for many years and knew her quite well, so she said, "Hasn't Madam always been interested in the young master getting married? Now is the best opportunity!"
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Wei frowned.
Yu Ma continued to deceive: "Madam, think about it! Even though Miss Du has returned to secular life and become a county lady, so what? She is already twenty-five years old. When she was a Taoist priest, she didn't think about marriage, but now..."
"You mean!" Madam Wei jumped up from the bed with a start. "Yes! She is 25 years old, not young anymore. She will always be remarried. After all, my Yanshan and she are childhood sweethearts. Besides, Li Yuemei is dead. Without this obstacle, they..."
As if her Ren and Du meridians had been opened, Madam Wei suddenly became more energetic and even asked Yu Ma to get the list of gifts that had been given for the betrothal many years ago: "The girl from the Du family is now the county lady, so I'm afraid the betrothal gifts will have to be even more generous."
