Chapter 692: They Were Childhood Sweethearts

unded lieutenants standing beside him and reprimanded them loudly:"What are you still standing around for Go after him and see if the strategist needs any help!"Everyone came to their senses and respo...Mo Yunjing is here

Hearing his wife's words, An Le Hou's face stiffened. He had only said that out of frustration; he wouldn't dare to actually say anything harsh to Mo Yun Jing.

But since the words were already spoken, he had to bite the bullet and face his wife.

Thinking this way, An Le Hou slowly turned around. But looking at the empty doorway, he was stunned for a moment, but quickly regained his composure and said to his wife, "My lady, you deceived me again."

Madam Xiao was much happier now, she chuckled lightly, "Who told you to be so stupid You could even be fooled by such a simple lie. Have you lost your memory It was you who told me about Ah Jing's visit to the palace today. How could he possibly be here now"

"Well, I suppose the Duke did forget this,"

Mrs. Xiao reached out and rubbed his forehead, "You're really putting so much force into it. Do you want to actually beat yourself silly"

Mrs. Xiao glared at him impatiently, "Cut that out. Get serious for a minute. I want to talk about something important."

Seeing his wife's expression turn serious, Anle Hou instantly stopped his playful demeanor. "What happened"

"Isn't it your precious daughter You know the man she talks about who is getting close to the Princess of Beijiang"

And the Marquis of Anle frowned, "Who"

"Jiang Qingyang."

"!"

And the Marquis of Anle was taken aback. He wasn't unfamiliar with Jiang Qingyang at all, and he was very clear that Jiang Qingyang and his precious daughter were deeply in love.

It's a pity that these two children are not destined to be together. Their paths won't cross in this lifetime. This is set in stone.

Over the past two years, the name Jiang Qingyang has become a taboo in Anle Houfu. No one is allowed to mention it, especially in front of Xiao Qin.

Mrs. Xiao remembered what Xiao Qin had told her before, and the fire in her heart gradually burned again. She said angrily:

"Jiang Qingyang only reached out to help the Princess of Beijiang, and your precious daughter said that the Princess of Beijiang was too close to other men, making me almost misunderstand her. Today, she even went to lecture her. Who knew that all this was orchestrated by your precious daughter She has completely embarrassed me!"

Though her spirit was fading, Madam Xiao still loved and cared for her daughter deeply. If it weren't for the dire circumstances, she wouldn't have been so angry. Now, she sighed helplessly and said:

"At the end of the day, she still couldn't let go of Jiang Qingyang. But my lord, if word got out that she and Jiang Qingyang met again, we would be in big trouble!"

Anle Hou naturally understood and slightly nodded, "I know. When Qin'er comes back, I'll have a good talk with her."

"Ah Tang was trying to persuade her, but whether she would listen or not is unknown."

At this moment, An Lehou finally realized his wife's intimate address to the Princess of Beijang. He raised an eyebrow:

It seems you are quite pleased with this Princess of Beijang. Now that you've met her, what do you think The rumors about the Princess of Beijang being savage and rude have been circulating widely. Are they true

Mrs. Xiao smiled, "If she were as rumored, do you think I would be so satisfied I wonder who spread the false rumors, making people believe them. Before meeting A Tang, I also believed it a bit. Fortunately, I went to see her myself and learned the truth that rumors are unreliable."

The Marquis of Anle chuckled softly, “So, how do you find the Princess Consort of Beijang”

When it comes to An Xuetang, Mrs. Xiao's mind automatically conjures up her image. She smiled and said, "Seen from afar, she is as radiant as the sun rising over the dawn; up close, she shines like a lotus emerging from green waves."

The Marquis of Anle was instantly surprised. It wasn't easy for his wife to praise someone like this, it seemed that the princess from Beijang was truly exceptional.

After describing her, Mrs. Xiao laughed herself. She truly admired An Xuetang's beauty; in all the world, she hadn't seen many faces as stunning as hers, besides Mo Yunjing's mother.

An Xuetang not only possesses great beauty, but also speaks eloquently with grace and poise. Her every glance carries a sense of carefree ease and composure, a rare air of sophistication seldom found in ordinary women.

"Now I understand. No wonder the usually aloof King of Beijiang could be subdued. It's a pity for Cheng Ru’er, daughter of Minister of Punishment Cheng Yongying. The Emperor had always intended to bestow her upon King of Beijiang."

Since the King of Northern Xinjiang had defied the Imperial Decree so many times, and now that there was still a perfect consort among his father's family, he would naturally not accept Cheng Ru'er.

When it came to Cheng Ru'er, Mrs. Xiao let out a cold snort, disdainfully saying, "That Cheng family heiress is nothing compared to Er Tang. Don't look at Er Tang's humble origins, but in my opinion, she is the only one worthy of standing beside Master Jing."

Listening to his wife's words, Anle Hou became more and more interested in An Xuetang. What kind of excellent woman was she that could make his wife praise her so highly, and moreover, his wife had only met her once.

The rumors about the North Border Princess's bad deeds were spreading like wildfire, to be honest, he almost believed them.

But he didn't expect his wife to bring him different news today. It seemed like he should ask Mo Yunjing to visit him someday. He also wanted to see what kind of woman could make his own wife praise her so highly.

At this moment, An Xuetang, who was being praised, was listening to Ning'er tell her about Jiang Qingyang and Xiao Qin.

Actually, the facts were not as she thought. There was no feud between the Jiang family and the Anle Hou Mansion.

On the contrary, the Jiang family and Anle Houfu have a very good relationship. Jiang Rongwen, the Minister of Rites, is Jiang Qingyang's father. Jiang Rongwen and Anle Hou are actually good brothers, and they often get together to drink and chat.

It was also because of the relationship between Jiang Rongwen and Anle Hou that Jiang Qingyang and Xiao Qin could be considered childhood sweethearts who grew up together. Before Xiao Qin came of age, her relationship with Jiang Qingyang was particularly close.

But all of this changed completely after Xiao Qin came of age.

At the beginning, both the Jiang family and the Anle Houfu were happy about the relationship between the two children and hoped that they would eventually be together. Therefore, they had never opposed the two children getting close.

But the turning point occurred in Xiao Qin's coming-of-age year. After a woman comes of age, she is expected to get married, and Jiang Qingyang had always understood his desire to marry Xiao Qin.

Besides being happy with how Xiao Qin grew up under their care, the Jiang family also planned to propose marriage to the Anle Hou Mansion after she came of age. They wanted to settle the two children's marriage as soon as possible.

Just when the Jiang family had prepared everything and were ready to go to the Anle Hou Mansion to propose marriage, something unexpected happened.

Everything the two families had planned for years had undergone a drastic change.Pavilion guarding the courtyard gate saw An Xuetang return and hurriedly bowed, "Your Highness."They couldn't recognize Mo Yunjing, who was covering his face with a black veil, so both of them were te...
