Huo Jiwen regretted coming to pay his respects today.
He thought that as long as he greeted his mother for lunch with his mother and he coaxed her well, what happened yesterday would be unmasked.
Who knew his mother would stare at her.
Huo Jiwen didn't want to leave the Duke's Mansion, as Ling Qiao said, if the family really separated, it would be difficult for him to come back and inherit the Duke's Mansion.
Moreover, the Duke's Mansion was originally his, so why should he move out?
But he dared not tell the truth in front of his own mother.
He pulled out a smile and said, "Mother, yesterday I was too impulsive to speak out."
"You are only my son, who will take care of you after I move out?"
Qingyou raised her eyebrows, "Then you are really filial. I was dizzy from your anger yesterday, and now my head still hurts, and I haven't seen you greet me."
Huo Jiwen choked, he really forgot about it.
He smiled embarrassingly, "I was just about to ask, so you said it first."
Qingyou laughed ironically, making Huo Jiwen even more embarrassed.
He changed the subject and said, "Mother, my son hasn't eaten with you for a long time, let's have lunch with you today."
Qingyou sneered, "You know it's been a long time since you've had dinner with me!"
"If you don't have anything to do, you can either rape or steal. I dare not let you, a dutiful son, accompany you. You should go and accompany your little wife."
Huo Jiwen: "..." His mother's words are getting worse and worse.
He said helplessly: "Mother, don't make fun of me, you are the most important thing in my heart."
He was going to listen to Ling Qiao's persuasion to win his mother's heart back.
Qingyou looked at him with a half-smile and said: "It turns out that I am the most important thing in your heart! Then I don't like that foxy girl, so you can send her back to Shi's house today."
She knew exactly what the idea of the barbecued pork buns was.
This is how Yuanshen was once coaxed by him, and gradually handed over the housekeeping power.
It is useless to use this method on her now.
She was absolutely disgusted that the char siu bao didn't want to come to this yard again.
Sure enough, the smile on Huo Jiwen's face froze.
"Mother, Ling Qiao and I consummated our marriage last night. If we send her back to Shi's house, it will really force her to death."
Qingyou sneered, "Since the house is consummated, it's okay not to give it away, just let him be your roommate."
"With such a lowly status and such an innocuous reputation, being a roommate is just flattering her."
Huo Jiwen: "..." Is this going to be a problem?
"Mother, I used to marry Ling Qiao in eight sedan chairs before. If this becomes a common room, our Duke's Mansion will be ridiculed by outsiders."
Qingyou said indifferently: "It's okay, anyway, the two of you are already the biggest joke in the capital, so don't worry about it."
Huo Jiwen: "..." So heartbroken, so heartbroken, so aggrieved.
He really didn't want to stay any longer, so he made an excuse, "Mother, I suddenly remembered that Master asked me to go to the Imperial College."
"I'll come and see you tomorrow."
After finishing speaking, he quickly left, for fear of being run over by his own mother again.
Seeing the char siew buns slip away depressed and aggrieved, Qingyou was in a good mood and ate two bowls of rice for lunch.
Huo Jiwen didn't go back to the yard, but went out of the house directly.
He didn't go to the Imperial College either, but was going to invite a few family members who were usually on good terms to come out for dinner. …
Who knows that none of them came. When the attendants went to look for them, they all made excuses to say something was wrong.
Huo Jiwen's mood was even worse.
He ordered a jar of wine and drank it alone in the private room.
If one or two had something to do, it would be normal, but all four of them said something to do, so he didn't believe it was such a coincidence.
One person didn't say anything was wrong, but asked the attendant to pass a message to him, saying that the family was not going to come out.
What does it mean?
Because he is not the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion, or because he has no mother to preside over his marriage, so they started to alienate him?
The more I think about Huo Jiwen, the more depressed I become. This kind of thing would never happen before.
When he was the son of the world, these people were not only on call, but also responded to every call.
While drinking wine in depression, there was a knock on the door of the private room.
The attendant opened it, Huo Jiwen looked and saw the fourth prince standing at the door.
He stood up unexpectedly, "Fourth cousin."
He has always had a good relationship with the fourth prince, so he directly called him cousin.
The fourth prince said with a smile: "I came here for dinner, and I heard that you were there, so I came to have a look."
He scanned the private room and found that there was only Huo Jiwen in it, and said again: "How about I join you at the table, and I am also alone."
In fact, he made people stare at the Duke's mansion, and when he found Huo Jiwen out to eat alone, he came over.
Huo Jiwen could see that the fourth prince should have something to say, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's just have a drink."
The fourth prince entered the private room, and the two chatted while drinking.
After chatting for a while, the fourth prince looked at Huo Jiwen and asked, "Didn't you just get married? But I see you look gloomy, what's the matter?"
Huo Jiwen didn't say anything about his friend not coming, he sighed and said: "It's not my mother yet, she still doesn't accept my wife."
The fourth prince gave him a sympathetic look, "Auntie is indeed too stubborn, you even married someone in and still don't accept it."
"Not only did she not go out to entertain guests when you got married, I heard that she even hinted at the visiting wives."
"So on the day you got married, many people didn't go in for the banquet."
He came here today to remind Huo Jiwen on purpose.
Huo Jiwen really didn't know about this, "What did my mother hint to those ladies?"
The fourth prince looked at him in surprise, "You don't know?"
Then he smiled embarrassingly and said, "Just pretend that I didn't say anything just now."
Huo Jiwen was even more curious when he saw how the fourth prince hesitated to speak.
"Fourth cousin, don't just talk halfway, tell me quickly."
The fourth prince said helplessly: "Actually, it's nothing, but my aunt and those wives hinted that you will not be allowed to inherit the Duke's Mansion in the future, even if you become a dude, it doesn't matter, anyway, I won't care about you in the future. "
Huo Jiwen's face changed, "I don't inherit the Duke's Mansion, who else can? My mother is joking."
The fourth prince looked at Huo Jiwen with more sympathy, "Cousin, you are not the only direct descendant of your Duke's Mansion."
Hearing what he said, Huo Jiwen suddenly remembered that there was another Huo Xi.
In the past, Huo Xi was too low-key, and chose to take the imperial examination to become a scholar, so he didn't pay much attention to the other party.
"You mean my uncle?"
"I'm my mother's own son. She shouldn't let my uncle inherit the Duke's mansion in my place."
"Besides, she is a woman, she can't be the master and replace the heir of the duke's mansion."
Although he said so, he felt a sense of panic.
The fourth prince said meaningfully: "Although you are your own, your uncle was also raised by your aunt as a son."
"Auntie is different from other wives. Others are not qualified to replace the heir of the Duke's Mansion, but Auntie can still do it if she wants to."
He pointed to the sky, "The empress dowager and father love aunt so much, when the time comes, they will definitely follow her wishes."
His aunt was indeed not qualified to change the heir, but his father did!
