Chapter 4238 4240 [Hidden merit and fame]
After returning to Shuiyue An, Xiang Nan formally proposed to Haitang, and Haitang happily agreed.
She and Xiang Nan grew up together and were childhood sweethearts. Later, they lived and died together and experienced the most cruel test.
For Haitang, Xiang Nan is not only a friend, a partner, but also a relative. There is no more suitable candidate than him.
Lu Huanong was very happy about his son''s engagement to Haitang.
She had been hoping that her son would put aside his hatred and find a good girl to get married and have children for future generations. Now that her dream has finally come true, how could she not be happy?
After the engagement, Xiang Nan began to prepare for the marriage in the next few months.
In order to avoid affecting his mother''s Qing Dynasty, Xiang Nan built another house next to Shuiyue Temple.
For him, building a house is not difficult at all. Whether it is laying the foundation, cutting wood, or laying stones, it is all easy for him.
??And Haitang is also a handy person. She sews clothes and quilts with Lu Huanong and prepares for the wedding. Her life is fulfilling and satisfying.
…
Coming to the twelfth lunar month, the new house has been built.
Xiang Nan and Haitang were also officially married.
They are not planning to invite guests to their wedding this time, not even Duan Tianya and Cheng Shifei.
On the one hand, Duan Tianya and Piaoxu''s family have returned to Snake Island, and it will take at least a month to return to the Central Plains from Snake Island and then to Shuiyue An.
And within this month, nothing may happen. Now that he has washed his hands and retired from the world, there is no point in getting him into trouble again.
On the one hand, Cheng Shifei is now a prince-in-law, while he and Haitang are now commoners. As the saying goes, people with different principles should not conspire with each other. Since they have retired to seclusion, they can no longer have anything to do with the court.
Therefore, in the first month of the first month, when the two officially got married, no one was invited except Xiang Nan, Haitang, and Lu Huanong.
After simply finishing the wedding banquet, Xiang Nan and Haitang entered the bridal chamber.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart.
"It''s mother..." Xiang Nan was stunned for a moment, then thought of it, rushed out of the bridal chamber and came to the nunnery of Shuiyue Temple, and then blocked the dagger that Lu Huanong was thrusting into his heart with a knife.
Hearing a clang sound, the dagger was inserted into the sword and was blocked.
Lu Huanong was startled, and turned around to see Xiang Nan.
At this time, Haitang also used Qinggong to rush over. She couldn''t help being surprised when she saw Lu Huanong holding a dagger in his hand and looking like he was about to commit suicide.
“Mother-in-law, what’s wrong?” she asked quickly, “Why are you doing this?”
“Injustice!” Lu Huanong sighed, “Son, don’t stop me. In fact, you don’t know that I was the murderer of your father back then.”
"What?" Haitang was shocked. She didn''t expect that her mother-in-law actually killed her father-in-law!
?Yida has always wanted to avenge his father in those years, and for this reason, he did not hesitate to practice the ruthless slash of ruthlessness, righteousness, relatives and love.
?But now his father-killing enemy is his mother. How can he accept this and how can he deal with it?
"Mother, actually I already know about this." Xiang Nan waved his hand.
"What?" Lu Huanong was equally surprised when he heard what he said. "Yes, I checked my father''s body and there was a dagger stuck in his back, which he forged for you back then." Xiang Nan explained, "So I knew at that time that it was no one else who killed my father. It''s you."
"So you already knew it, so why didn''t you tell me? Why didn''t you kill me to avenge your father?" Lu Huanong asked again.
"Because I know you have your own reasons." Xiang Nan explained, "In order to practice Xiong Dao Tian Xia and the three swords of Abi Dao, my father became obsessed and disowned his relatives. In order to prevent him from continuing to make mistakes, you killed your relatives righteously. "
“You know everything?” Lu Huanong said in surprise.
?She originally didn''t want to tell anyone about this, but she didn''t expect that her son actually knew about it.
"I saw the files in the secret sect room of Hulong Villa. It turns out that Shenhou had already investigated clearly." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "Mom, I can''t blame you for what happened to my father.
Since his death, you have been fasting, chanting Buddha''s name, and sincerely repenting these years. I think your father''s spirit in heaven will forgive you. Why don''t you just stop dying and continue to live and watch Haitang and I have children and spread our wings? "
“Yidao, do you really think your father won’t blame me?” Lu Huanong heard what he said and asked.
“It must be so. My father practiced Xiong Da Tian Xia and the Three Swords of A Bi Dao. He became obsessed with it, disowned his relatives, and killed many people he didn’t want to kill. He is no longer him.
By killing him, you are helping him escape. How could your father blame you? Xiang Nan advised.
"Yes, mother-in-law, you killed people to save others, so don''t have such a big psychological burden." Haitang also advised.
After hearing what they all said, Lu Huanong hesitated for a moment and finally put down the dagger in his hand, "Okay, then I will continue to live and watch you have children and spread your branches. In this way, when I get to the underworld, I will Your father also gave an explanation."
Xiang Nan nodded.
…
For the next time, Xiang Nan lived an ordinary and peaceful life with Haitang and his mother Lu Huanong.
Because they are protected by the magic barrier, they don’t have to worry about being disturbed.
? And they don’t have to worry about food and clothing. After all, not counting the treasures Xiang Nan took out from the palace and Dongchang, his salary alone in these years is tens of thousands of taels.
?They occasionally go out to the mountains for purchasing, and the income from purchasing is enough to ensure their food and clothing.
Every time they go out of the mountains, they will hear some news.
?For example, after Emperor Zhengde was restored to power, he made great efforts to govern. Not only did he completely eliminate the eunuchs in various places, he also punished a group of corrupt officials who had great resentment among the people, winning the support of the common people.
?For example, the four secret agents of Heaven, Earth, Xuanhuang and Hulong Villa were cancelled, and the villa now rewards the Prince Consort, Cheng Shifei, as his residence. But Cheng Shifei had no interest in being an official. He often traveled around the world with his wife, Princess Yunluo, fighting injustices. There are many legends about them in the world...
For example, Emperor Masanori knew about the conspiracy between Shenhou and General Tokugawa, sent good generals and soldiers to attack the Japanese pirates along the coast, and cut off economic and trade exchanges with the Fuso Kingdom, causing the Fuso Kingdom to suffer heavy losses.
??Another example is the richest man in the world, Wan Sanqian. Because he funded the rebellion of Tiedan Shenhou, the emperor liquidated him after his restoration. In the end, Wan Sanqian bought his own life with five million taels of silver, one million taels of gold, and ten ships of rare treasures...
After hearing the news, Xiang Nan and Haitang were very happy.
Emperor Zhengde had such a change, and their hard work in rescuing him that day was not in vain. It was also worth the money.
"It seems that the emperor is a good emperor." Xiang Nan smiled at Haitang.
"The First Under Heaven" is not a real history. The Zhengde Emperor in the history books is indeed a faint emperor, but the emperor in the world of "The First Under Heaven" is still a wise emperor.
