"Now there is no one close to Wugou to rely on. Although everyone in the house will not bully Wugou, life will not be easy after all. It is all about doing things, and where is it not doing? If you are afraid of gossip, just do things well and do business!
"
This time, Wu Xin no longer spoke as an ordinary junior or son-in-law, but called himself his father, with a more serious look and tone.
Gao Shilian and others were stunned and silent for a moment.
Wu Xin's words seemed a bit like claiming a high position and using power to bully others.
However, it was obviously for the sake of Zhangsun Wujia and caring for the Gao family and Zhangsun Wuji. It was not offensive but rather touching.
Brother Gao Xingyi couldn't help but look at his father Gao Shilian, not daring to make his own decision; Changsun Wuji looked embarrassed. He was the one who loved his sister the most, and he was really worried that Changsun Wuji would be bullied!
This is also one of the main reasons why the Gao family and the Changsun family came out in person this time, and even Mrs. Gao came in person.
Except that the imperial court suddenly changed its mind and wanted to reinstate the high officials and honest officials and redeem the high house for them. They politely came to express their thanks, but they also remembered the eldest grandson Wugao and were deeply afraid that their lack of etiquette would cause the eldest grandson Wugao to be wronged.
It is a pity that Gao Shilian rejected the goodwill of the court and was neither reinstated nor redeemed from the Gao family. If he wanted to be redeemed, he could only rely on his own efforts.
"Mrs. Gao, what do you think of what this junior said? If there is anything wrong, feel free to teach me a lesson and correct me!"
Everyone was silent, Wu Xin simply looked at Mrs. Gao and asked.
Even though Mrs. Gao has gray hair and looks decrepit, she is not an ordinary woman. She has experienced several dynasties and can be regarded as a low-level historical talent.
Mrs. Gao's contribution to the Gao family's persistence to this day is indispensable. It only depends on Gao Shilian. With Gao Shilian's character, it is estimated that the Gao family has long been in despair.
"There is nothing wrong with it. If you are afraid of gossip and refuse to approach those close to you, it is wrong! Do your own thing well. It is better than anything else. If you are really incapable, you will be unable to hold up the wall!"
Mrs. Gao had a smile on her face. She nodded slightly and responded without hesitation, but did not tell Changsun Wuji and others what to do.
"Mrs. Gao is wise and sensible!"
Wu Xin praised respectfully with admiration on his face, paused, and sighed:
"Actually, many things cannot be decided by whether one is willing or not. For example... no matter whether Mr. Gao is willing or not, now that Mr. Gao has been labeled as Wu Guogong, he has no choice but to deny it. If Mr. Gao goes to Zhuyuan County alone to serve as the chief
It is easy to be framed, or at least exploited. This is inevitable, and the younger generation will not be able to sit idly by and ignore it! What do you think, Mrs. Gao?"
"Well……"
Most of the people present were startled and couldn't help but fell into deep thought, including Gao Shilian, Changsun Wuji, Changsun Wugou and others.
Before, they thought that Duke Wu Guo only favored his eldest grandson Wugu, so he took special care of him, but they really didn't expect this.
Now that I think about it, this is really the case. They are already the in-laws of Duke Wu. They are also the in-laws of his wife. It’s okay not to admit it. Wu Guogong’s opponents won’t care about this!
Mrs. Gao still kept her smile, nodded and replied: "Heaven and earth are like a net. The world is like a bigger and more complicated net!"
"What do you mean? Playing charades?"
Wu Xin was helpless and puzzled, and simply pointed it out: "Let's put it this way, you must have heard about the banquet in the Forbidden Palace. As long as I leave the Western Capital, various forces will definitely attack Mr. Gao, at least the Wang family of Taiyuan and
Yu Wenshi will definitely use his methods. Therefore, Mr. Gao and others must leave with me. I also need the help of Mr. Gao, Brother Gao, Brother Wuji and other great talents! Please also ask Mrs. Gao to help me, so as not to make it difficult for me.
, which makes Wu Kuan even more embarrassed!"
After he finished speaking, he stood up solemnly, bowed his hands and asked.
"ah?!"
Everyone was shocked and confused. They didn't expect Duke Wu to say this.
Is this a plan to force yourself?!
However, everyone thought about it calmly and realized that what Duke Wu Guo said was true!
Mrs. Gao, who had always kept a smile and was dignified and composed, frowned slightly and looked at Wu Xin in surprise. She did not expect that Wu Xin would make such a request.
Is this family kidnapping?!
Both Wu Xin and Mrs. Gao know very well that Gao Shilian is a filial person who listens to his mother most. As long as Mrs. Gao nods, Gao Shilian will definitely not refuse.
"Mrs. Gao, I would like to interrupt you..."
The shrewd Wei Gui saluted him and continued: "Originally, I would not and should not lead an army to the Western Capital. This is against the laws of the imperial court. The main reason why I came here is for you, or in other words, for
Wugou, the flight of Hu Si, Minister of the Ministry of War, cannot be ruled out as a deliberate plan by some thoughtful people. In fact, it was the father-in-law who planned it. Besides, my daughter often sees Wugou looking away with tears in her eyes. I really can't bear it!"
Changsun Wugou looked at Wei Gui in surprise. She did miss her grandmother, mother, uncle, brother, etc., but it wasn't that serious!
After thinking for a while, the eldest grandson Wugou looked at Madam Gao and shouted pitifully: "Grandma..."
"this……"
Mrs. Gao was in a dilemma. She didn't want to influence her son's decision, but she couldn't refute what Wu Xin and Wei Gui said, and she couldn't bear to reject her granddaughter.
There was no way, Mrs. Gao had only one granddaughter. Gao Shilian gave birth to all sons, and the eldest grandson Wugou was naturally the most favored. Besides being well-behaved and docile, he was the apple of the family's eye.
It is worth mentioning that, according to what Wu Xin knew in his previous life, Gao Shilian gave birth to all sons, and Gao Shilian was the first person; Changsun Wuji was more powerful and gave birth to twelve sons in a row. There is no record of either daughter, it is said that there is no!
"The law...is nothing more than human feelings! Rules are not omnipotent!" Wu Xin pretended to be helpless and sighed.
Mrs. Gao frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at Gao Shilian and said, "Shilian, please stop pretending to be upright and honest. What Xin'er and Guier said is the truth. The matter has come to this, so accept it. Gao has been doing this for the past few years.
I have been tortured so much by you and I didn’t say anything, but now the Gao family really can’t withstand the strong wind and waves!”
"..."
Gao Shilian's expression froze and his face turned red. He wanted to refute that he was not pretending to be honest and upright, nor had he done anything wrong. After all, he did not dare to refuse his mother, so he bit the bullet and said, "Yes!"
Wu Xin was overjoyed and looked at Changsun Wuji with sparkling eyes...
"This...I...I have made an agreement with Brother Shimin. If you want to do something, you will give priority to Li Tang. This is a gentleman's agreement!"
Changsun Wuji's face changed slightly, he was troubled for a long time, and said slowly.
"Is Brother Wuji's relationship with Li Shimin closer than that with his own sister?"
Wei Gui pretended to be surprised and blurted out in disbelief. He paused and quickly continued: "That's right! Now Li Shimin is also a subordinate of the Duke, and everyone knows it, but now he is sent to Dongdu to handle the follow-up affairs, and
It's just that he didn't come to the Western Capital, so Brother Wuji didn't break the agreement. In addition, there are already rumors that Duke Wu colluded with Duke Tang to plot evil, so in the battle of the Eastern Capital, the Duke's use of Li Tang's people caused a lot of discussion.
The imperial court also attaches great importance to it and is quite suspicious. If Brother Wuji serves Li Tang again, what will other people think? It means that this rumor is completely confirmed. This will not only harm Li Tang, but also harm the father-in-law!"
"This..." Changsun Wugu was startled. He didn't know how to refute for a moment, and it was hard to refute Wei Gui.
In addition to Wei Gui being a peerless beauty, she is also the sister of her biological sister, Mrs. Wu Guogong. It is not easy to argue!
Wu Xin, on the other hand, looked at Wei Gui with a smile on his face.
Why didn't I think of this reason?
Leaving aside the facts, if Wei Gui said this, would Changsun Wuji still go to Li Tang?
