Chapter 943: The Young Marquis's Broken-Engagement Wife (Extra 1)
The Xu Family in Secluded City (Part 1)
"Have you heard? The shopkeeper Luoyue of Anyuetang is getting married!" Several women who often get medicine at Anyuetang gathered together to chat.
"I know, I know. I heard he's a wealthy businessman from the capital!"
"Don't look at the fact that the son of the Xu family is almost thirty, but he's still a first-time bride!"
Someone said worriedly, "Hey! Thirty years old and still unmarried, there won't be any problems, right? Shopkeeper Luoyue is a very kind person, often giving free medical treatment and medicine to people like us. Shouldn't we give her a heads up?"
"No thanks!" Shangguan Ruojin, who happened to be eating wontons at a nearby stall, said with a smile, "On behalf of my Luoyue, I would like to thank you all for your concern."
She knew that these women didn't actually have much ill intentions, they were probably just used to gossiping.
Now that they were caught red-handed, they all lowered their heads in embarrassment and wanted to leave.
"Don't leave in such a hurry!" Shangguan Ruojin paid for the wontons and stood up, saying, "Actually, before Luoyue and I came to Youcheng, we lived in the capital. This young master of the Xu family and she can be considered childhood sweethearts.
We knew each other when we were less than ten years old, but we never broke the window paper. When we left the capital, we were in such a hurry.
He didn't have time to greet her, but he was a lovestruck man and waited for Luoyue for many years without getting married.
"Wow! He is such a loyal and righteous man!" After hearing Shangguan Ruojin's introduction, several people began to praise the young master of the Xu family.
Shangguan Ruojin continued, "Aunties, there are too many people who don't know about these things, and it's inconvenient for us to explain them one by one. If you encounter such people in the future, please help my Luoyue explain a little.
It's not easy for these two lovers to finally get married, so I'm sorry to bother you all."
"Of course. Shopkeeper Luoyue is such a good person, he deserves such a good marriage!" These people said sincerely.
The aunts were quite good at spreading information. In less than two days, Youcheng knew about the "love story" between Luoyue and the young master of the Xu family.
"Miss, what did you tell them?" Luo Yue said a little embarrassedly after returning from the clinic that night, "The auntie who came to get medicine today told me to be nice to Ah Xu, saying that he had been waiting for me for many years."
Shangguan Ruojin didn't hide anything and told them about her previous encounters with these people. At the end, she concluded, "Don't thank me. I just think they don't know much about your Ah Xu's situation, so I'm trying to spread the word for you."
"Miss..." Luoyue looked like she was complaining, but she couldn't help feeling sweet in her heart.
Yes! My sweetheart had been waiting for me for many years, and luckily they finally got together.
Although Huo Xu is no longer in the world, there is only the Xu family, who have a clean background, a wealthy family, and moved from the capital to Youcheng. He is Xu Jia, the eldest son of the Xu family.
It turned out that after the Huo family was ransacked, the Huo family's chief steward, who had bought Huo Xu as his son, changed his appearance and used his real name, Xu Hong, because he had reached the age and had completed his mission.
He bought Hui'er and her son, who were supposed to be exiled together. Thinking that his adopted son died in Youcheng, he planned to bring his "wife and children" to pay tribute to his adopted son before making any plans.
As a result, as soon as he arrived in Youcheng, Xu Hong fell ill due to excessive fatigue from the journey.
It was really a coincidence that when Xu Hong went to the clinic for medical treatment, he happened to see his "deceased" adopted son helping Luoyue.
"You...you! You evil son!" Although Xu Hong had been a rootless person for a long time, he attached great importance to family. Moreover, his adopted son was already a husband and a father, but now he was with Luoyue. Of course, he was very angry.
Seeing that Xu Hong was about to hit Huo Xu, Hui'er, who had come with Xu Hong to see the doctor, knelt down and said, "Dad, don't hit him. You actually misunderstood."
Afterwards, several people found a quiet room and explained the whole story.
"Is that child the flesh and blood of the Huo family, the Marquis of Yongning?" Xu Hong asked in disbelief, "You've been married for several years, and you haven't slept together?"
Hui Er couldn't help but kowtow to Xu Hong again and said, "It was Brother Xu who saved me back then, otherwise I would have been beaten to death. Originally, after you saved me, I was going to tell you,
But you said you wanted to come to Youcheng to pay your respects to him, and I was afraid you wouldn't want to bring me along, so I didn't tell you. Brother Xu is the savior of me and my child, and it's only right that I come to pay my respects to him."
Luoyue was also listening on the side. She noticed from the beginning that there was something wrong with Huo Xu's expression. He was obviously getting more and more excited. When Huier finished speaking, she finally understood Huo Xu's joy - her true self finally became clear at this moment.
After hearing this, Xu Hong was immediately discouraged: Oh! The grandson I have loved for several years is not my own.
Perhaps he was too excited and blurted out what was in his heart without realizing it.
Huo Xu and Luo Yue looked at each other, then looked away.
Otherwise, they can be husband and wife!
This idea is not only synchronized but also in sync, because what they all think in their hearts is: Even if he is my (Huo Xu) child, he is not your biological grandson. Your son is an adopted son, and you bought him!
Of course, this cannot be said in front of Xu Hong!
