Chapter 1230: Marry Now (2)
"Oh~ Mom!" Hu Xiaoxiong threw herself into her mother's arms and acted like a spoiled child, "He likes me, he really likes me, aren't you happy for your daughter?"
"Be happy, be happy. Someone really likes you. Of course I'm happy." Mother Hu said with a smile, hugging Hu Xiaoxiong. "Oh, my little bear has found his ideal husband. Time flies. When you were born, you were only as big as your father's palm. Now you are getting married."
"Mom, when will Dad come back? Please ask someone to find Dad. Yi Chen said he will send someone to propose marriage soon!" Hu Xiaoxiong said excitedly, holding Hu's mother's hand and shaking it. "Look at my brother, he is married and sticks to his sister-in-law all day long. You have a father too, but I am the only one who sees you two being so affectionate every day. How pitiful I am..."
"Is this why you want to get married?" Hu's mother was helpless. She hooked her daughter's nose and said angrily.
"No, I just always wanted to find a husband who dotes on his wife like daddy does. How did you fall in love with daddy?" Hu Xiaoxiong asked curiously, "Dad is so strong and fierce, why did you agree to marry him?"
"Your father only looks fierce, but he is very considerate to me." Mother Hu gently pinched her daughter's face and recalled the past.
"At that time, your father and your grandfather were summoned to the main city by the late emperor. In consideration of the fact that the Hu family had fought with the late family for many years and had made great contributions, the emperor granted them the surname Hu. Your father and his family were originally Hu people, and the surname Hu made the Hu family steal the limelight in the main city. The Hu family was also a favorite of the late emperor. At that time, your father was a young man, and many girls wanted to marry into the Hu family." Hu's mother said slowly.
"It's just that whenever your father appears in public, he looks so vicious, and this makes those girls who want to marry into the Hu family back off." Hu's mother chuckled, remembering that when she first saw Hu Chao, the girls were scared and retreated wherever he went.
"Then how did mom and dad know each other?" Hu Xiaoxiong asked in surprise. As for her father's face, she could only say that there was no one scarier than his.
"I was accompanying my eldest sister at that time. Your father's appearance frightened the other girls. When the girls and their companions retreated, I was unfortunately knocked to the ground and was almost trampled by them. It was your father who rushed over and picked me up. Otherwise, I might have been trampled." Mother Hu's face flushed as she recalled how Hu Chao heroically saved the damsel in distress.
At that time, he was like a hero descending from the sky and saving her from despair.
"What happened next?" Hu Xiaoxiong's eyes lit up.
"How could that happen? Your father saved me, but I was just a concubine's daughter. Given your father's status, he should marry a legitimate daughter. Even if he did, I could only be a concubine." Mother Hu sighed softly.
Back then, she had no power to control her own destiny. Her fate was held in the hands of her stepmother, and who she married was entirely decided by her stepmother.
"Then how did Dad marry you?" Hu Xiaoxiong was even more curious. "You were in the backyard and couldn't go out, so how did Dad and you get together?"
"Later, the late emperor granted a marriage to the Hu family and asked your father to pick a girl from the Wu family to marry. Who would have known that your father actually moved directly into the Wu family, saying that he wanted to have more contact with the girls from the Wu family before choosing one." Mother Hu couldn't help laughing when she said this.
No one had ever dared to act as recklessly as Hu Chao. He thought he was choosing a wife, but no one dared to choose like this. Unfortunately, the Hu family was favored at that time, and the late emperor actually agreed to this ridiculous request and gave Hu Chao a month.
