The night was as dark as water, and Lin Jue sat in front of the case, meditating by the candlelight. On the case, he had half written a message to attack Guo Xu, and Lin Jue was thinking about the words.
Logically speaking, since Lin Jue had said that he was going to give up his career, there was no need to write this appeal. However, Lin Jue still started to write his appeal after he came back. That was because Lin Jue knew in his heart that he could not give up his career.
Guo Bing's suspicion was actually justifiable. Lin Jue knew that the more he explained to someone like Guo Bing, the more suspicious he would become. So, he simply knocked down the hammer and let Guo Bing reflect on his own. Lin Jue estimated that,
Guo Bing or Guo Kun will definitely come to express their apology. This is because raising an army to attack Guo Xu is the only way for them. The more they respect and condone them, the more arrogant and rude Guo Bing will be. If he allows them
If it continues to develop, it will be difficult to deal with it in the future.
Although Guo Bing said on his lips that he would live in seclusion in the mountains from now on, fishing for fun and ignoring worldly affairs, but that was not what he thought in his heart. Guo Bing and Guo Chong are indeed brothers, and sometimes they don't mean what they say.
The states are very similar. Both brothers have the problem of having too many thoughts and too much suspicion.
The reason why Lin Jue broke out was actually an act. Lin Jue wanted to use this opportunity to stop Guo Bing from interfering in affairs. He wanted to exclude Guo Bing, which he had been doing for the past few days.
Questions to think about. Although Guo Kun is dull and has a bad temper, at least he doesn't think too much like his father and is easier to communicate. What Lin Jue needs is Guo Kun, not Guo Bing. Elimination
After Guo Bing, things will be much easier to handle.
Outside the study, the pine waves could be heard faintly, like the sound of wind and thunder. The night wind blew by, and the candlelight flickered, illuminating Lin Jue's resolute face. Lin Jue pondered for a moment, dipped his pen in ink, and wrote furiously.
, consider deleting it until dawn.
In the early morning, Lin Jue was sitting around with the girls in the back house having breakfast. After staying up all night, Lin Jue's eyes were a little dark. Lu Wu looked at him distressedly and silently added a poached egg to his bowl.
The little princess was not here for some reason, and Lin Jue thought she was still sleeping soundly with Lin Zhan, so he didn't ask anything. But when a mouthful of poached eggs was still in his mouth without chewing and swallowing, Guo Caiwei's figure appeared in front of the hall door.
The girls hurriedly put down their bowls and chopsticks and stood up. Guo Caiwei is the eldest wife of the Lin family, so the girls still have some rules.
"Sister Princess, come and eat quickly. I left two poached eggs for you. Just now I went to call you in your courtyard, but you were not there. My husband said he was hungry, so he ate first." Lu Wu greeted her hurriedly.
The little princess' face was a little solemn. She only glanced at Lu Wu and then slowly came to Lin Jue. Lin Jue looked at her and smiled: "Are you just getting up? Where is Zhan'er?"
The little princess knelt down in front of Lin Jue. Everyone was shocked and looked at each other in astonishment. Lin Jue was also a little surprised and asked quickly: "What's wrong? Why are you kneeling down? Get up quickly."
The little princess bowed her head and said: "Husband, my father made my husband angry because of his careless words. I am his daughter. My father has done something wrong. As his daughter, I will naturally bear the responsibility. Caiwei apologizes to her husband on behalf of her father and asks him to forgive me.
.”
The girls didn't know what was going on and were all surprised and stunned. Lin Jue understood it immediately. It must be that Guo Bing and his son were embarrassed to come to beg for help in person and couldn't bear to look like this, so they invited Guo Caiwei to be a lobbyist early in the morning. Although.
He said that this was also a sign of Guo Bing's submission, but what Lin Jue wanted was not Guo Caiwei's apology, but Guo Bing's promise.
"This is none of your business, why are you getting involved?" Lin Jue frowned.
Guo Caiwei raised her head and said: "Husband, I know what my father said is not pleasant to listen to. He is actually suspicious of me and wastes my time worrying about important things. It is really annoying. I went to the East Courtyard just now, and my father is actually married.
I regret it. My brother was going to come in person, but I was worried about his health. Husband, you are a great man, so don’t mind it. This is a time of shared adversity, and we need to unite as one, right?"
Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "Tell this to the prince. It's not that I don't understand this truth, it's that the prince doesn't understand. As soon as we were out of danger, he already started fighting among himself and was suspicious of me. What else can I plan for big things? Really It’s heartbreaking. You don’t have to beg me, it has nothing to do with you, and I don’t need anyone’s apology. I’d rather be quiet if I don’t seek trouble, and I still want to live a quiet life for a few days.”
Guo Caiwei sighed: "Caiwei knows that I shouldn't talk about this matter. I am definitely not biased towards my father. I know my father better than my daughter. I naturally know that this matter is my father's fault. But... I am always my father's daughter, even if my father doesn't Come to me, I know this, so I can't remain indifferent. There is a rift between my husband and my father, Caiwei... Isn't Caiwei feeling uncomfortable?"
Lin Jue sighed, stretched out his hand to pull Guo Caiwei up, and said in a deep voice: "I know you are in a dilemma, don't worry, I will not fall out with your father. After all, he is a prince and an elder. But this matter is not a trivial matter. If it is not resolved, This matter may lead to a big disaster in the future. I don’t want to work hard for others, only to be stabbed, hurt, and suspected behind my back. It’s not impossible for you to mediate. Go tell your father, and he only needs to promise not to interfere in major affairs from now on. I can continue to plan for big things. From now on, I will only plan big things with my brother, and the prince will go fishing for his own leisure. If he tries to interfere in any matter, or says something in front of your brother, that will affect your brother's decision . Then, I will never do anything thankless for your Guo family's affairs. Also, you go tell your father that I do not necessarily need to use the prince and his son as my banner. Don't forget that Green Dance is the emperor's. Girl, if I want to do something, I can raise a flag and raise an army in the name of the princess. The reason for the princess to avenge the emperor and Concubine Rong is enough. Go and tell your father that he is actually not that important."
Guo Caiwei's face turned pale, and she felt extremely uncomfortable. Today, in front of so many people, what her husband said was really serious. Although she was talking about her father and brother, she obviously had no face. Guo Caiwei really felt sorry for him as her father. What is really helpless is that the palace has already reached this stage, and he is still suspicious of her husband. It is no wonder that her husband is upset. This is really not the right thing to do.
Guo Caiwei also felt a sense of crisis at the same time. Her father's trouble also affected her status in the Lin family. Although her husband is not a ruthless person, if she can't distinguish between good and bad and stands on her father's side, then The husband must have opinions about himself. Today is different from the past. In terms of status, he is the princess of a down-and-out royal palace. You must know that Lin Jue has a daughter of the late emperor, a dignified princess. Logically speaking , the position of the main wife belongs to Lu Wu. I can’t be indiscriminate anymore.
"What your husband said is true. I will go and make it clear to my father right away. My husband treats my father and brother with sincerity, how can I allow them to have random suspicions? If they are stubborn, I will not agree." Guo Caiwei said softly, turned and walked out.
"Sister, let me go with you." Lu Wu stepped forward and took Guo Caiwei's hand. Guo Caiwei felt warm in her heart. Lu Wu is innocent, cute and has a good temper. She saw herself in trouble, so she wanted to accompany her. This
Her intentions are true, but Guo Caiwei is a strong-hearted person. If she wants to set an example for the Lin family, she cannot show weakness or helplessness.
"Thank you, but I'll do it if I go. Don't worry, I'm fine." Guo Caiwei smiled and nodded, took away Lu Wu's hand, and turned around.
After Guo Caiwei left, everyone hurriedly asked why. Lin Jue waved his hand and said, "Nothing."
It’s such a big deal, you don’t have to worry. Get ready after dinner. Today is my big day when I fall to Yangu, and it’s also a big day for the world. Don’t make people laugh, and dress up nicely.”
After breakfast, while Lu Wu and Fang Huanqiu were waiting for Lin Jue to change clothes and comb her hair, Guo Caiwei came back, followed by the haggard young prince Guo Kun.
Lin Jue hurriedly asked: "Brother, why are you here?"
Guo Kun said: "I'm here to apologize on behalf of my father. My father went too far last night. I talked with him all night, and he also woke up. Lin Jue, for my sake, don't worry about this matter."
.Father... Hey, this was all caused by a thief like Guo Xu. If it weren't for him, how could my father be so jealous? After all, it was a lesson learned from the past. My father told me that he was affected by that incident.
impact, so I don’t have to worry too much.”
Lin Jue nodded and said: "Since my brother has spoken, how can I not give him face? But the prince's thoughts are deeply rooted. I am worried that there will be disputes in the future. I am a person who cannot stand being angry. Therefore, I hope that the prince will not be involved in major events in the future.
I want to serve you as my master. From now on, you must come forward. The prince is old, so let him be taken care of by his old man."
Guo Kun nodded and said: "I understand. My father also agreed just now, and he will no longer interfere with the matter of raising the flag to attack. My father said that everything will be done by me, and I will discuss and decide with you if there is anything. No need to ask anymore
It's not easy for my father to make such a statement. Lin Jue, please don't have any grudges in your heart."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "I don't have any grudges. It's just my father-in-law who has grudges. In order to avoid hurting the relationship, either he quits or I quit. That's the only way. Besides, you and the prince are both from the Guo family.
, I can only serve one of you as my master, and it’s right for the prince not to participate, because the future is yours. The prince can’t argue with you. After all, it’s not a matter between you father and son.”
Guo Kun nodded. Lin Jue's words were right. In the final analysis, it was not their father and son's business. If he obeyed his father and the king, he would have no choice but to stay behind. In the end, Lin Jue had not fought for himself to come to the front of the stage.
opportunity. From now on, he will get rid of his father's shadow. Lin Jue doing this is actually good for himself.
"Okay now, the matter is finally settled. Brother, it's not like girls talk too much. If we can't even trust our husband, it would be too disappointing. My husband has done so much for us, and dad is really awesome. I won't say anymore,
This matter is over. From now on, brother, you and your husband must talk to each other frankly and there must be no suspicion. Your husband is an upright gentleman and will never do anything that goes against the ethics of the world. If you cause trouble again
, don’t come to me either, I will definitely stand on your husband’s side.” The little princess said in a deep voice beside her.
Guo Kun said with a smile: "Don't worry, sister, I'm not your father, and I don't have any opinions about Lin Jue. From now on, I will just listen to him."
The little princess nodded and said, "That's pretty much it."
Lin Jue breathed a sigh of relief. Guo Kun's words were sincere. He was not a hypocrite. In recent years, he has changed a lot in Lin Jue's impression. Although he is still a little reckless and conceited, he has matured a lot. As time goes by, he will become more mature.
Steady and sophisticated. Guo Bing, who has lived for more than fifty years, has not been able to achieve this, and has never become mature in his entire life.
"Brother-in-law, can the swearing-in meeting be held today? It's already late." Guo Kun asked the question that concerned him most.
"Let's go, why not? Is this such a big deal vague? Make preparations immediately and take a carriage to the village in a moment. I'll go find Mu Qing to see how the preparations are going." Lin Jue said.
