Chapter 328: Night Reflection Ann Extra (Part Four)

Chapter 328: Night Reflection Ann Extra (Part Four)
Mother has always loved the Phoenix Empress, otherwise she wouldn't have been helping the Crown Princess all these years. When the Phoenix Empress was driven to the point of smashing into a pillar and blood splattered everywhere by the Third Imperial Princess, one can imagine the deep hatred in my mother's heart.
Mother wished to skin and pull the tendons of the three imperial princesses!
For mother, although she had a connection but no fate with the Phoenix Empress, as long as she could watch the Phoenix Empress from afar, she would be satisfied. But the Phoenix Empress died, and her small wish could never be fulfilled again.
Looking at my mother who is already in tears, I am deeply moved. It turns out that my stepmother does have love – she just gave it all to others.
Dear stepmother, love you for a lifetime.
Mother has made up her mind to sacrifice everything. She wants to avenge the Phoenix Queen and remove obstacles for the Crown Princess.
I don't know how I returned to my residence. I can't understand the feeling in my heart. How can I tell father that mother does have a heart, but it belongs to someone else.
This makes Daddy, who has always deeply loved Mommy, wonder how to deal with himself. Daddy has always believed that Mommy will notice him sooner or later.
Since I was young, Daddy told me that Mommy didn't come to see me because she was busy. Mommy is a great hero who is a general protecting the peace and well-being of the people of Huangqing Country at the border.
Dad always tells me about the scene when he first met my mother, and every time he tells it, he has a happy and sweet expression on his face.
Dad says he loves my mother, no matter which man she has in her heart, he will always love my mother. Dad says that one day, when my mother turns around, she will be able to see him.
I thought that my mother's rejection would temporarily discourage the Third Empress from considering me as her husband, but unexpectedly, the next morning during court, the Third Empress issued an edict to marry me as her husband.
The third princess is gambling on whether her mother will defy the imperial edict in front of the civil and military officials. Although she cannot forcefully seize common men, in the situation where imperial power is supreme, defying the imperial edict will result in execution.
The three princesses are truly cunning and deceitful to the extreme.
Mother stood in the center of the hall, amidst the civil and military officials on both sides. She stood upright, and spoke out yesterday's words word by word.
"Yesterday, I have already made it very clear to the three princesses that my son is not worthy of them. I humbly ask the three princesses to find another suitable match. Why do the three princesses insist on holding onto my son? Now, in front of all the civil and military officials, you issue an imperial decree. Do the three princesses truly think that I dare not refuse? Perhaps the intention of the three princesses is to make me refuse so that they can punish me for disrespect!"
The Third Princess shouted angrily, "Shut up!"
Perhaps the Third Princess didn't expect her mother to speak these words so calmly. She underestimated her mother's determination and underestimated her mother's feelings for the Phoenix Queen.
"What? Princess Sanhuang still won’t let this humble servant speak? If you dare to do something, don't be afraid of being exposed! There are plenty of men more outstanding than my son in this world. Why does Princess Sanhuang insist on targeting my son? Isn't it just to suppress me? Everyone present knows this in their hearts!" Mother continued coldly, without leaving any room for compromise. She came today with the determination to risk everything.
"Bring someone, lock Marquis Hou in the dungeon!" The third princess was filled with anger.
"Mother still managed to let out a cold laugh," Heh! "
"Mother was locked in the dungeon, and my sisters went to seek help from everyone, but everyone wanted to protect themselves, no one was willing to save mother. My sisters have not rested much in the past few days, they have become emaciated and thin."
Mother was imprisoned, and elder sister stepped forward to take charge of the situation.
I cannot just sit back and watch mother suffer. I want to rescue her, and the only thing I can do is to beg the third imperial princess. But once I go, I will never be able to come back, and even if I die, it won't be a clean death anymore.
I want to see Siro before I come clean and clear of any wrongdoing.
I'm afraid that when I die, I won't even have the right to think of her.
"Sister, let me go and beg for the Three Princess for you." I said to my sister as I entered the front hall.
长姐还没开口说什么，我就感觉一阵风袭来，二姐的巴掌眼看就要扇在我的脸上。
“二姐，不要冲动，六弟也是迫不得已。”三姐握住二姐的手腕说道。
Second Sister gave me a cold, icy stare. "Mother was locked up in prison because of you, just to prevent any connection between our Hou Mansion and the Third Princess. But you, you still want to go and beg that Third Princess. You have completely disgraced our Hou Mansion!"
"Okay, Ermei, Liudi is innocent. It's just a struggle for power, and Liudi got caught up in it unintentionally. Stop scolding him," the eldest sister finished and turned to me, earnestly and seriously telling me, "Liudi, I know what you're thinking, but do you think it will work? The Third Princess wants the military power of our marquis house. It's not something a single man like you can resolve. Even if you offer yourself on a plate, you'll just end up being played with for nothing and also become material for the Third Princess to mock our mother. Do you understand?"
"Big sister, I'm sorry, it was my carelessness." The words of big sister touched me deeply. In the power struggle, I am just a insignificant ant, easily crushed underfoot and then becoming someone else's capital to show off.
The second sister snorted and said, "Hmph, knowing your mistake is nearly enough. Let me tell you, stop thinking about useless things. It not only won't solve the problem but also bring disgrace to our Hou Mansion."
"Second sister, I'm sorry." I looked at second sister guiltily. I know that although second sister is sometimes harsh with me, she, just like first sister and third sister, always has the best interests of the entire Hou Mansion and me in mind.
"Forget it, I won't argue with you. You should go back to your yard and rest. Don't leave your yard during this time," Second sister said.
"Understood."
Just as I was about to leave, I heard the butler announce that a guest had arrived, claiming to be a friend of Third sister.
I thought since there were guests coming, I should avoid them, but my third sister called me before I could leave.
"Sixth brother, don't leave yet. Let me introduce you to my friend," my third sister said with a smile.
Second Sister glared at Third Sister and said, "Third Sister, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but it's better not to bring your questionable friends to the house, let alone introduce them to our younger brother. How can you, as an older sister, let our younger brother meet those improper women!"
Big sister also disagreed and looked at third sister, "Third sister, no messing around."
"Oh, big sister, second sister, you can rest assured, I used to make those friends because I was young and ignorant. I am grown up now, how could I still make friends like that? You can trust me, my friends this time are absolutely reliable. I want to introduce them to sixth brother, maybe they can protect him temporarily."
"Are you sure?" Second sister looked at third sister skeptically.
Third sister reassured, "Hmm, yes, I'm absolutely sure this time."
As I wondered when third sister's preference in making friends had changed, I saw the person she had been yearning for walking towards us.
"I apologize for visiting suddenly and causing any inconvenience. Please forgive me," the little girl said apologetically, with her fists clenched.
"Oh, Ruoxi, you're too polite. It's not a bother at all. I'm more than happy that you all came," the third sister said happily, holding the little girl's hand.
I just found out that the little girl's name is Ruoxi.
The eldest sister and the second sister looked confusedly at Ruoxi, who acted like an adult.
The third sister happily pulled Ruoxi over to the eldest sister and the second sister, "Eldest sister, second sister, this is my good friend Ruoxi, and that is Ruoxi's niece Siro."
