There are some things that you can think about in your mind, after all, it is human nature, but it is a different matter if you say it out loud.
The fact that the daughter-in-law would say this here shows that she truly feels it is a pity. If she reveals this thought in the future, she will make enemies for the Pang family.
Although the old Duke Ping may not have had such thoughts in his mind, the fact is the fact. The fact is that Xiao Heng not only did not die, but he also turned the situation around beautifully. The Yunnan Rebellion did not start overnight, and everyone knew that there must be traitors causing the rebellion, but no one had ever found out so many people.
But Xiao Heng was able to do so. This time, he directly killed more than a hundred people. In addition, he must have other evidence in his hands. It is said that he has gone straight to Qujing.
With such good luck and ability, the old Duke Ping was well aware of it. If he really wanted to compete with Xiao Heng for this position, he would have to do the same as King Zhuang and others before, and put all his wealth into a fight. But he had no idea whether he could win.
There is no other reason, it's just that the name is not right and the words are not reasonable.
If Xiao Heng did not exist, everyone would be a bastard prince, and they could and must fight for it.
But it just happened that Xiao Heng was the grandson of Queen Hu, and he was the legitimate eldest grandson, which was righteous in terms of etiquette and law. In particular, he had done a lot of practical things. Now, with his military achievements in Yunnan, how could anyone compete with him for that position
The wife of Duke Pingguo was a smart person. She immediately said solemnly, "It was my daughter-in-law who overstepped her authority. I will never do it again." She admitted her fault. Seeing that her father-in-law also looked solemn, she thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty also mentioned something. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince are of similar age. They have talked about marriage many times before, but it never came to fruition. Now, our family should make preparations."
When this matter was mentioned, Duke Ping was silent for a long time.
If we follow the previous thinking, we should naturally match the child in our family with the fifth prince. After all, marriage between close relatives is a good thing.
But now, it's different.
As long as Xiao Heng can return safely from Yunnan, the ceremony of enthroning the Crown Prince will definitely be held, and the position of crown prince will be his in the future, it is a foregone conclusion.
Then, if the Crown Prince's Consort could be from the Pang family, it would naturally be in the best interest of the Pang family. After all, the Fifth Prince is their grandson no matter what, so they don't mind this marriage, so it is natural for them to have a good relationship with the Crown Prince.
He sat still for a while, raised his eyebrows and said, "Let me think about it again."
The wife of Duke Pingguo said no more, bowed respectfully and left. After a long sigh, she called her trusted housekeeper and told her, "Go to the Su and He families and send gifts. Tell them that we are happy to hear that Master Bo is fine. Also, send someone to the Yongning Princess's mansion to say hello to the princess on my behalf."
At this time, the threshold of the Yongding Marquis's Mansion was almost broken.
In Xiao Heng's memorial, he clearly mentioned the contributions of Su Rong and Tang Yuan, saying that they were extremely brave and had killed many enemies. Any discerning person could see from this evaluation that after this trip, these two would undoubtedly become the Crown Prince's confidants.
The group of people who had mocked the Su family for being all dead were the first to come and give gifts, especially Huang Zhengqing. He beat up his own son, then brought his son over to kneel and kowtow to Old Lady Su before leaving.
Old Mrs. Su was too impatient to see the rest of the people, so she sent them away by Master Su San.
Master Su San was also in high spirits because of the good news. He had already understood that the family could not survive by relying on internal strife. Now that Su Rong was fine and had made great contributions, he was also happy. He handled the concerns of various people in a safe manner and did not promise anything randomly. Then he came back and told Mrs. Su the purpose of everyone's visit.
Old Madam Su was also overjoyed. She had been waiting for news with all her might, and finally received such good news. She was now overwhelmed with joy. Seeing that her third son now had his own way of doing things, she said with confidence, "You don't need to ask me about these things anymore. You can make the decision yourself. I will have to rely on you for more family matters in the future."
Even if Su Rong is the uncle, looking at Su Rong's behavior, he will not be able to avoid leading troops outside in the future, so the family naturally needs a man to take care of it.
The people from the Wang family also arrived very quickly. This time, it was Mrs. Wang who came by herself. Mr. Wang was talking to Mr. Su San outside, so Mrs. Wang went into the inner courtyard with Mrs. Wang Wu. She bowed to Mrs. Su first, and then she couldn't stop her tears from falling: "Madam, I really am... To be honest, after hearing the news, I really didn't sleep a wink the whole night, for fear that I was dreaming! I'm glad that Rong Ge'er is okay, I'm glad that he is okay..."
Mrs. Wang Wu was also happy for Wang Yuerong.
She had seen how worried Mrs. Wang had been these days. As a mother herself, Mrs. Wang Wu could understand Mrs. Wang's feelings very well. Seeing this, she hurriedly said, "Don't say those things now. Fortunately, Uncle is blessed. He is fine. This is a great blessing. People say that those who survive a great disaster will have good fortune in the future. Everything will go smoothly in the future."
Now Mrs. Wang Wu's words touched everyone's heart. Mrs. Wang Da immediately nodded with tears in her eyes and a smile: "Yes, that's right. From now on, it will be a good life!"
After crying at Old Lady Su's place, Mrs. Wang naturally had something to say to her daughter in private, so she went to her daughter's yard with her daughter. As soon as they sat down, Mrs. Wang held her daughter's hand and said, "Fortunately, you held on..."
Otherwise, if he really returned to the Wang family, although everything is still in time now, I am afraid that the Su family will also have a grudge.
Wang Yuerong was filled with joy, she just choked up and said: "I just thought, no matter what, I must wait for the result. Fortunately, he did not let me down, he promised me that he would never let me down."
Mrs. Wang couldn't help but lose her mind when she looked at her daughter. She originally chose this marriage because Su Rong's legs and feet were healed, and his martial arts were outstanding. He also had a ready-made title. To be honest, there was naturally affection, but people of their age and status naturally saw more of the friendship between the two families. But now, looking at her daughter's face, she stroked her daughter's face with trembling hands: "Yes, you did the right thing. People should always think about affection. This is the affection between you two. You trust him and he trusts you. This is really the best."
Wang Yuerong couldn't help crying with joy.
There was joy in the capital. The Crown Prince was safe and sound, which eased the anger of the entire capital.
