The fourth master put his hands in his sleeves and leaned lazily on the back of the chair. There was not much blood on his lips, and there were some bruises under his eyes. It seemed that he had not slept all night, so that a blue vein appeared slightly above his nose. He looked at Yuwen
Hao said: "You can just go back and snatch those around the necks of Xuelang and Duobao."
Yu Wenhao said angrily: "What do you think this prince is? Is this prince going to compete with a dog for a red envelope?"
The Fourth Master raised his eyebrows slightly, with a look of surprise in his bright eyes, "You, the majestic prince, look down on a dog?"
Yu Wenhao snorted, "Are you serious? I want to have a good relationship with you. If you are joking, I won't think it's funny."
The fourth master sighed softly, with a trace of helplessness appearing on his beautiful face, "That's all, what do I care about with you? I felt a breath in my heart and couldn't release it, so I rushed to you. It's my fault.
"
Yu Wenhao sat down and frowned, "If you don't want to marry Ling'er, I will do it for you."
"Why don't I want to marry her?" Fourth Master was surprised again.
"Isn't it because of your marriage?"
The fourth master shook his head gently, "That girl is suitable, but you can't assign me outside like this. Now everyone in the capital knows that I am a slut, and I will do anything to get high in the royal family, and I have lost the face of a businessman."
.From now on, when my fourth master is doing business, I am afraid he will have to listen to a few jokes."
Yuan Qingling's eyebrows twitched suddenly, and she hurriedly said: "You're celebrating the New Year, why are you talking about this? I won't mention it."
Yu Wenhao looked at him suspiciously, "What do you mean? Who assigned you? Why are you being said like this outside?"
"Ever since the day the wedding was finalized, there have been rumors circulating outside. Haven't you heard about it?"
Yu Wenhao shook his head and looked at Yuan Qingling. When he saw her eyes dodge, he said: "I don't know, what is going on?"
Yuan Qingling could only pretend to be innocent, "I don't know either."
Yu Wenhao stood up, "You guys sit down first, I'll go find Tang Yang."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Yuan Qingling looked at Fourth Master, "Master, I know you are unhappy, but today is the Chinese New Year, can't we wait for two days before talking about it?"
Fourth Master snorted, "If I'm not happy, no one can be happy."
He shook his sleeves and said coldly: "What the Su family said is too unpleasant. Fourth Master, my reputation has been ruined by them for many years. If I don't find someone to suppress them, do you really think that I am easy to bully?"
?Besides, it’s just that I’m being used by the emperor, what is it about the Su family that wants to use me too?”
Yuan Qingling remembered that Princess Anfeng said that he actually knew everything in his heart. Now that it was true, he said: "Don't take it too seriously. What outsiders say, just let them say whatever they want. How can you control them if they have a mouth?"
…”
Fourth Master interrupted her, "Why can't you care? They say I don't care about other people. They say I can't do it. They can tell the truth, but they can't organize it. Fourth Master, I haven't done anything, so no one can put it in my head."
superior."
This was the first time Yuan Qingling saw Fourth Master really angry.
It was also the first time I saw a serious expression on his face.
In the past, I only thought that Fourth Master was easy to fool, but that was not the case at all. He was bright in his heart, but when he could pretend to be deaf and dumb, he would let you make trouble, but when the bottom line was reached, he would still show his attitude.
"My personal reputation doesn't matter, but the reputation of the firm and the reputation of the merchant cannot be insulted by them like this. This is a matter of industry. Since I became the son-in-law of the emperor as a merchant, I represent the merchants of the world.
"As a human being, sometimes you can be confused, but sometimes you have to stay awake and vigilant, especially when many people have their interests tied to you."
Yuan Qingling looked at him blankly and said softly: "Master is right."
The fourth master calmed down and said: "Besides, I don't know how the palace will deal with this matter, but the prince should know that he must break up with the Su family and not get even the slightest bit of dirty water, otherwise it will happen."
If it hurts him, why should people's words be feared? It's because people's words can affect the overall situation and people's hearts."
Yuan Qingling nodded silently. She actually knew what the Fourth Master meant. He wanted Lao Wu to cut ties with the Su family, and his ultimate goal was to cut ties with Concubine Xian.
However, it is easy for outsiders to tell the truth. How can a mother and her son cut off their relationship?
The fourth master stood up and said angrily: "You made me very angry."
He walked out and called out, "Snacks, let's go. Grandpa will take you to eat snacks and bring Snow Wolf." How can we relieve our worries? Only Snow Wolf!
One call and a hundred responses!
Half an hour later, Yu Wenhao came back with a gloomy face. He brought a cloak in his hand and put it on Yuan Qingling. "It's cold here, why don't you go back and sit down? Someone should come over to pay New Year's greetings in a while."
Today, Lao Liu, his wife and Lao Qi should be coming.
He avoided talking about what had just happened.
Yuan Qingling didn't even ask.
"Okay!" Yuan Qingling held his hand and stood up. The couple returned to Xiaoyue Pavilion. After a while, they heard reports from outside that King Huai and his wife and King Qi were coming.
Rong Yue will definitely come because Fourth Master is here.
They are all members of the family, and there is no too polite reception. They are chatting in the Nuan Pavilion.
However, King Qi is the kind of person who refuses to open or lift any pot. He said: "Fifth brother, the people outside have been talking very unpleasantly these past two days. Have you heard it? The fourth master is
…Anyway, it’s the same thing you did to the fifth sister-in-law at the princess mansion.”
King Qi was used to not blocking his mouth, but he couldn't say those words.
Rong Yue's eyes were cold, "It was reported by someone from the Su family. I have already ordered someone to investigate."
"Which Su family?" King Qi was startled.
"Which one else? Concubine Xian's natal family." Rong Yue said, glancing at Yu Wenhao, "There are some words that I would like to say. I don't know what Concubine Xian is going to do. The marriage has already been decided. It's ruined."
Wouldn't destroying the Fourth Master's reputation also ruin the princess's reputation? She was specifically trying to make things difficult for her own children. When Su Dahe went to find people from the Lenglang Clan to assassinate the Crown Princess, it was her order. Now there are still killers she found in the world.
Well, if she hadn't been stopped by the people from the Lenglang Clan, the Crown Princess would have lost her life, so what on earth was she asking for?"
"Rong Yue!" King Huai scolded lightly.
Yu Wenhao's eyes suddenly became terrifying.
He held the armrests of the chair with both hands, his thumbs were half-deep in them, and veins appeared on the backs of his hands.
If it had been speculation all along and she had been blaming it on Su Dahe because she cared about the relationship between mother and child, even all her evil deeds when Lao Yuan was giving birth could be justified as impulse. At this moment, everything outside and what Rong Yue said
, he really can’t lie to himself anymore.
Rong Yue knew that she had made a mistake, but since she had said it, she might as well continue: "The prince cannot always rely on the Lenglangmen to protect the prince. What if something goes wrong? In the end, we must prevent this situation. Outsiders covet the prince.
It’s just the concubine’s head. What does it matter if her own people have been like this? Now the virtuous concubine is counting on people from the Su family to do things for her. Without the Su family to help her, she has only evil thoughts and cannot act on them. But the emperor thinks that the queen mother is also Su.
For the sake of filial piety, the family members will not punish harshly. Prince, please make your own decision. Someone must bear the blame for unfilial piety."
