Chapter 202 I Will Recognize You as My Daughter Today
Chapter 202 Today I will recognize you as my daughter
When Wang Yao saw several people coming, she felt panicked and quickly hid behind Wang Tuo.
She was afraid that Bai Zhancheng would come over and say that he had agreed to their engagement.
If this is the case, what should she do?
She still thinks about being able to be with Yu Xilin in the future!
Bai Zhancheng bowed his hands towards Wang Tuo and said word by word:
"Prime Minister, I know that we have always been at odds with each other, but now because of the marriage, we are like grasshoppers on the same rope. I hope that we can put aside our past grudges and overcome the difficulties together!"
"Huh, let's ignore the past grudges? My good nephew Zhao Xiao still lives with his eyes open, and I haven't settled this debt with you yet! You still want to ignore the past grudges with me? I think it's just wishful thinking!"
Wang Tuo snorted coldly, his tone full of murderous intent.
"The prime minister is joking, how could Mr. Zhao die with his eyes open? He was a hero who fought against the enemy. He sacrificed his life for the country. He died in a worthy and honorable way!"
"Oh, your sophistry excuses will only deceive those ignorant people. Do you think I will believe you?"
"It doesn't matter whether the Prime Minister believes in it or not. What matters is that His Majesty the Emperor believes in it."
A strange smile appeared on Bai Zhancheng's lips.
Wang Tuo's expression changed, and his eyes instantly became sharp:
"In this case, we have nothing to say, General Bai, please come back!"
"Haha, the prime minister is going to issue an eviction order?"
Bai Zhancheng glanced at Wang Tuo contemptuously, then turned around and looked at Wang Yao, saying:
"Since your lord is unwilling to negotiate with me, then I can only wait for my wedding to Miss Wang!"
When Wang Yao heard this, she hurriedly grabbed Wang Tuo's sleeve:
"Dad! Yao'er doesn't want to marry him, dad~~"
Wang Tuo, who was still angry, ignored Wang Yao's pleading.
"It seems that the prime minister is very satisfied with my son-in-law who rides the dragon, hahaha."
Bai Zhancheng smiled proudly, turned around and prepared to leave.
Seeing that Bai Zhancheng was really leaving, Wang Yao became even more anxious:
"General, please stay!"
"Miss Wang, what else can you do?"
Bai Zhancheng stopped and asked coldly.
Wang Yao gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and asked:
"Are you really willing to marry me?"
"I don't want to! But my lord seems to be very satisfied with me."
Bai Zhancheng shrugged, looking indifferent.
Wang Yao choked.
"Since your majesty likes me, then what's the harm in us getting married!"
"A good move is to retreat in order to advance, and play hard to get!"
Zhao Qian's voice suddenly sounded, and then, a handsome man in a green shirt slowly walked out of the house.
When Wang Yao saw Zhao Qian, it was like seeing a savior. She immediately ran over and hugged Zhao Qian's arm, crying:
"Cousin, hurry up and persuade dad for me. General Bai came to discuss with him about breaking off the engagement, but he got angry and issued an eviction order, woo woo woo."
When Zhao Qian heard this, his eyebrows furrowed, and he raised his eyes and glanced at Bai Zhancheng.
Bai Zhancheng also looked back at Zhao Qian. Their eyes met in the air for a few seconds before they separated.
Bai Zhancheng looked back and said indifferently:
"What do you mean now? Do you follow the imperial edict or do we work together to find a way to solve this matter?"
Zhao Qian instinctively thought that Bai Zhancheng had dug a hole for them to jump into, but when he caught a glimpse of Lin Xiao standing next to Bai Zhancheng, his suspicion became uncertain again.
Could it be
Is Bai Zhancheng really here to resolve the marriage issue granted by the emperor?
When Lin Xiao saw Zhao Qian looking at her, she was slightly startled, then smiled brightly.
This smile was like spring flowers blooming, making Zhao Qian's eyes light up instantly.
"Uncle, since they keep saying they are here to solve the problem, why don't we first hear what they can do?"
Zhao Qian's voice is clear and pleasant, with a hint of laziness and charm.
Wang Tuo raised his eyebrows when he heard Zhao Qian's words:
"Okay, let's listen first and see what solutions they can come up with!"
Bai Zhancheng didn't know why Zhao Qian was on his side, so he looked at him suspiciously.
He knew Zhao Qian's character.
Although he is not very old, the city is very deep and cannot be underestimated.
"Master Prime Minister, before solving the problem, can you first read the contents of the imperial edict?"
Lin Xiao stood up and spoke in a calm and gentle tone.
Although Wang Tuo didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Lin Xiao's gourd, he still asked Zhao Qian to take out the imperial edict.
Lin Xiao took a quick look at it, with a knowing smile on his face.
She pointed to the "prime minister's daughter" in the imperial edict and said to everyone:
"These four words are the key to our solution to this matter!"
"What's the meaning?"
Wang Tuo couldn't help but ask.
Zhao Qian also cast a questioning look at Lin Xiao.
"It's very simple. The imperial edict only states that the prime minister's daughter will be given a marriage to General Bai, but it doesn't mention him by name! So, we can use this to make an issue!"
"General Bai and Sister Xiaoyue are in love, and Miss Wang is not willing to marry General Bai. Why doesn't the Prime Minister recognize Sister Xiaoyue as his goddaughter? Then Sister Xiaoyue will marry General Bai as the prime minister's daughter. In this way,
Come, you don’t have to disobey the imperial edict, and your lover can finally get married."
After Lin Xiao finished speaking, everyone fell into silence.
After a while, Wang Tuo took the lead in breaking the silence:
"This is a good idea, but is it feasible?"
"I think it can work!"
Zhao Qian nodded without hesitation.
Wang Yao also felt that this was the best way so far, and she quickly agreed:
"Dad, Yao'er also thinks this method is feasible. Since the imperial edict does not mention names, who stipulates that there can only be one prime minister? I feel that I am somewhat similar to Sister Xiaoyue. Dad, could she be the one you are living in?
Is your biological daughter out there?"
"What nonsense are you talking about! I am deeply in love with your dead mother, how could I have another child?!"
Wang Tuo roared angrily.
He is the prime minister of a country, and the most important thing is his face. How can he allow others to slander his reputation?
Wang Yao shrank her neck after being yelled at and lowered her head in aggrieved manner, but she couldn't help but secretly raise the corners of her mouth.
Zhang Yue and Bai Zhancheng looked at Wang Tuo anxiously, not knowing what choice this man would make.
Seeing that Wang Tuo had not expressed his opinion for a long time, Lin Xiao couldn't help but remind him:
"Prime Minister, what are you still thinking about? Do you hope that Miss Wang will marry and sit on the bench for the rest of her life? By then, you will have ruined Miss Wang's lifelong happiness!"
Wang Tuo was stunned, and he suddenly realized that what Lin Xiao said made sense.
He took a long breath and said to Zhang Yue:
"You and I are very destined. Today I will recognize you as my daughter. Are you willing?"
Zhang Yue's eyes widened in surprise, and it took her a long time to react. She knelt down on the ground and said with great excitement:
"I do!"
"Get up!"
Wang Tuo had a cold attitude and took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Zhang Yue.
"From now on, you are the eldest lady of my Wang family, Wang Pei."
Zhang Yue took the jade pendant excitedly, her eyes were red, and she choked with sobs:
"Thank you! Dad!"
Seeing this, Bai Zhancheng quickly bowed his hand to Wang Tuo and thanked him sincerely.
