Chapter 86: Provoking Discord
Langya Wang's Mansion.
Where the outer hall is located, the banquet venue has already been arranged.
Seats have been arranged at the flowing water table, and various delicacies, singing and dancing actors and actresses are also standing nearby, waiting for the guests to come in.
Director Situ Wang has half his hair white and is currently in the hall with his eyes closed.
As his age gradually increases, Director Wang can personally feel that his energy is disappearing little by little.
If it were him when he was young, he would be a hundred times more energetic now, but now he is no longer good.
Old.
Even if he refuses to accept old age, it won't work.
"My lord, the guests in the inner palace have just arrived."
"oh?"
Director Wang didn't even open his eyes.
"Which female family member did Madam call over again?"
Men communicate with each other, and women naturally communicate with each other.
Moreover, when it comes to its importance, communication between women is not much worse than communication between men.
If the wind blows from this pillow, the effect will be infinite.
"The Lord Qi is not a female family member, but a young husband."
Young lady husband?
Director Wang was stunned for a moment.
"Which member of the clan is he?"
The steward thought for a moment and said, "I have never seen that young man before, so I guess he is not the man in the house."
"oh?"
Director Wang opened his sleepy eyes at this time.
"Which husband is he from?"
Your family has not been married to other families recently?
Who does his wife want to see?
"Well... I don't know, I don't know. The husband of the He family came here to pay homage to the lady, and then he sent word that the husband of the young lady had passed."
He Chong?
Director Wang frowned slightly, but still said: "Let her do whatever she wants."
He looked at the sundial at the door and said, "It's almost time. Just ask Da Lang to greet the guests outside."
"yes."
The steward slowly stepped back and went to greet the guests, while Director Wang paid no attention to the young gentleman who entered the inner courtyard.
In fact, even if he wanted to take care of it, he wouldn't have the courage.
He could stay as far away from the tigress in his family as he could.
Little did he know that the young gentleman who had just entered the inner courtyard was the target of his hunting today, Zhao Yue, the young prince of the Zhao family in Tianshui.
....
Zhao Yue followed the maid who led the way and walked all the way from the outer mansion to the inner courtyard. The scenery inside was indeed beautiful, and the various decorations showed the background of a wealthy family. It was indeed beyond the comparison of the Xie family in Chen County.
Even Zhao Yue's manor by the Qingxi River, compared with it, seems to have insufficient foundation and has more attributes of a nouveau riche.
From the outer mansion to the inner courtyard, Zhao Yue did not see any female members of the Wang family, and he felt a little regretful.
But this pityful thought soon dissipated.
Because the inner living room has arrived.
Zhao Yue took off his shoes and entered the inner hall. In the hall, an elderly woman was kneeling on the main seat.
If you say she is an old woman, she has not reached that age yet, but if you say she is a milf, she has indeed passed that age.
Her eyebrows are rather ferocious, making people feel palpitating when looking at her.
This is a trend developed by staying at the top for a long time.
No wonder Director Wang is afraid of this wife, she looks quite scary.
Under the main seat, sat a handsome young man. Needless to say, he was married to the daughter of the Yu family, He Chong, the minister of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
"Junior, please pay homage to Madam."
"Please take a seat."
Cao Shu waved her hand, and a maid immediately came forward and led Zhao Yue to the guest seat on the left.
"Thank you, Madam."
Zhao Yue had only been kneeling down for a short time, and before his buttocks could be straightened, Cao Shu's words came out immediately.
"From what my nephew said, do you know where those outer rooms are located?"
The speech is quite direct.
Zhao Yue smiled softly, nodded, and said: "This news was also sold to me by someone else. I was invited to your mansion today because I wanted to sell this news to Madam."
Cao Shu is direct, and Zhao Yue's words are even more direct and rough than Cao Shu's.
"oh?"
Cao Shu raised her eyebrows. When she looked at the handsome young man, she thought it was someone who came to try to get the Langya Wang family, but now after listening to Zhao Yue's conversation, she understood.
This person definitely didn't come here to try to seduce the Langya Wang family.
Generally, people who come to cling to you are full of benevolence, righteousness, morality, and etiquette. They will definitely not speak as directly as Zhao Yue.
"Which family are you from?"
"This junior is from the Zhao family in Tianshui."
"Tianshui Zhao family!"
Cao Shu thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
"No wonder."
If he was born in the Tianshui Zhao family, it would not be surprising.
Cao Shu looked at Zhao Yue and asked, "What kind of benefits do you want before selling this news to me."
Zhao Yue smiled slightly and said, "I just need a favor, madam."
"A favor?"
Cao Shu was stunned for a moment.
"You come from the Tianshui Zhao family. Even I, a woman, have heard of your name recently, Princess Shang...I understand. It's Aaron who wants to deal with you, so you want something from me?"
Zhao Yue's expression remained unchanged, and he did not hide it, but nodded and admitted.
"What Madam said is true. Coming here today to ask for Madam's help is related to this."
"hehe."
Cao Shu's face suddenly turned gloomy, as if her face was covered with a layer of white frost.
"I'm afraid you heard somewhere that Aaron and I are not at odds with each other, but it's a family matter, and no matter how much benefit you give me, I won't be able to help you."
Cao Shu could still clearly distinguish between right and wrong.
"As expected of a lady of the Wang family."
Zhao Yue clapped his hands and applauded, with no trace of disappointment on his face.
"Madam, don't you want to know that I'm just a white boy, what kind of things does Situ want to do with me? In other words, what kind of things does Situ want to do with this kid?"
Cao Shu frowned and said, "They're just dirty things, so don't mention them."
Dirty things?
Zhao Yue laughed and said: "This dirty thing has something to do with the royal family and the descendants of the Langya Wang family!"
Cao Shu was not a blind person, and she immediately understood the meaning of Zhao Yue's words.
"Is it your Princess Shang's business?"
"Among Princess Shang's family, there is also a Langya Wang family."
"Isn't this good? If a descendant of the Langya Wang family can marry another princess, it would be a great thing."
"If the fourth and fifth sons of your family marry the princess, would you like it, madam?"
As soon as Zhao Yue said these words, the smile on Cao Shu's face disappeared immediately.
"Is the little slave worthy of this?"
Under the name of Director Wang, the fourth man is Wang Xie, and the fifth man is Wang Shao. From Wang Shao and Wang Hui, respectively, they are "big slave" and "little slave". You can vaguely feel that the father has some emotion similar to that of a veteran, or
I don’t care too much, after all, even Wang Tian’s small characters are “Chihu”, which is a hint of one of the dragons, and vaguely reflects Wang Dao’s own small characters “Red Dragon”.
He originally thought that even if he proposed marriage, it would be to the eldest son of another family, or at worst, to the legitimate son-in-law of his concubine Lei.
Can a bastard from this outer chamber be worthy of a princess?
