Chapter 279 Wen Yao decides to expose Yuan Jingzhou
Wen Yao didn't expect that even Cui Han would be interested in the northwest trade route, and the repercussions would be so great. She felt heavy in her heart. She felt that this matter was too simple.
He separated from Yi Junyue and went directly to Prince Jing's Mansion to discuss matters with Yuan Rui.
Although unmarried couples should not meet before marriage, Wen Yao and Yuan Rui have experienced so much that they don't care much about the complicated customs, and no one said anything when Wen Yao came to the palace.
It's just that this time Wen Yao just walked in and bumped into Yuan Jingzhou who was about to go out.
Yuan Jingzhou's face darkened visibly, and he opened his mouth to reprimand her: "You are a young lady waiting to be married. You are not yet married, but do you know the etiquette, justice and shame?
You should really send a few nuns to teach you, if you get in, the palace will be completely embarrassed by you."
Wen Yao was not a good-tempered person to begin with. Anger rushed to the top of her head. She took a deep breath to suppress it and saluted: "I've met Prince Jing. Prince Jing is well."
King Jing saw that she still knew etiquette, and his expression softened, thinking that she was sensible.
Before he could speak, Wen Yao stood up and looked up into his eyes, saying: "Prince Jing, please forgive me for being rude. You are also familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, you are knowledgeable, you open your mouth politely, and you shut up to save face."
, they all thought that Prince Jing was a gentleman.
So gentle and talented, I would like to ask the prince whether it is in line with etiquette and law to keep a foreign wife and have illegitimate children? Doesn't it look very respectable to outsiders? "
Yuan Jingzhou's expression changed drastically, and his heart was filled with turmoil, "You, what did you say?"
Wen Yao said coldly: "I just asked the prince for advice, why is the prince so surprised?
I think Wen Yao has a good character, and it doesn't matter if he has shortcomings in small matters. No one is perfect, and everything has its own authority. I came today for important matters, not for a private meeting. Why is it so unacceptable to the prince?
Where is the target?
What did I do wrong? Your Majesty, teach me well and I will listen. But when I open my mouth, it means reprimanding and humiliating me. Wen Yao doesn't agree with it, and I can't respect you.
Wen Yao bids her farewell. Your Majesty, please reflect on yourself."
Wen Yao walked around him and was about to go in. Yuan Jingzhou was not willing to let her go. "Stop, please make your words clear. You are not allowed to leave."
Wen Yao asked innocently: "What are you talking about? I made it very clear. I came here on important matters and to find Huahua. Is it possible that the prince wants to stop me from communicating with Huahua?"
We are close friends, so is it against etiquette to talk when we meet?"
Yuan Jingzhou said with a dark face, "You know that's not what I asked."
"Then which one are you asking about? You should make it clear. If you don't tell me, how will I know? After all, no one is the roundworm in your stomach!"
Yuan Jingzhou gritted his teeth and said, "Raise an illegitimate child."
"oh……"
Wen Yao suddenly realized: "Well, I'm not talking about you. Don't get me wrong. The neighbors near my home usually think that he is a good husband and a good father. They all praise him as a gentleman and a moral model. Who would have thought that one day when the outside room brought someone
The children came to the door, but their jaws dropped!
It can be seen that this person knows others but not their hearts. Is it interesting to talk about this kind of thing where everyone is doing one thing before others and another is behind others? I don’t know where he got the face to teach others, but he can’t stand upright himself. No, retribution will come quickly.
God still has eyes."
Yuan Jingzhou was even more sure that Wen Yao knew something, and there was murderous intent in his eyes. Wen Yao took two steps back in fear: "Prince Jing, your eyes are so scary, it scared me."
Yuan Jingzhou said: "Don't say something nonsense. If you want to live a good life, be careful in your words and deeds. Do you remember it?"
"Haha... I'm sorry, Wen Yao is very talented and has little knowledge. I really can't remember it, but Wen Yao only knows how to be a human being. You respect me an inch, and I respect people an inch. But if anyone tries to push the envelope, the rabbit will bite people when it's angry.
!”
"Okay, you are very good. You are quite timid at a young age."
Yuan Jingzhou wanted to strangle Wen Yao to death right now, and he would never let her marry into the family.
Wen Yao: "Compared to that bastard who keeps an outsider, Wen Yao's courage is really not that big. Instead of worrying about others, it's better to think about yourself.
What else does the prince have to teach you? I’m going to go play with Huahua and say goodbye.”
Wen Yao turned around and left, and she could feel Yuan Jingzhou's sinister eyes on her back. This time she had offended him.
But Wen Yao couldn't help it anymore. He himself misbehaved and always lectured others, and he looked down on himself deep down. In this case, Wen Yao tore off his outer sheepskin and let him know what he was.
Before she entered the inner house, Yuanhua came out to greet her: "Why have you been gone for so long? I've been waiting for you for a long time. Is there something wrong?"
"It's a little bit, but not big. Let's go in and ask, when will Yuan Rui come back?"
Yuanhua said: "I just came back in the evening. I am very busy. My salary has been forfeited. I have no money and I still have to work. If I were him, I would definitely be paddling. Why would I work so hard?"
Wen Yao only found it funny: "Is it free to co-operate with the emperor to grant you the title of county lord? I also got a township lord, isn't this a grace? If we want to raise our title, we have to rely on Yuan Rui
Meritorious service?
Isn’t he doing it all for us?”
Yuanhua thought it was true. He didn't even care about beating King Xuan. The emperor did something very benevolent and righteous this time.
"Let's go have tea. I'll send someone to find Xiao Rui."
"Okay, let's go visit the princess first. Is grandma at home?"
It is unreasonable to come home and not visit the elders. Wen Yao must go and say hello.
"My mother is doing embroidery at home, and my grandmother is not here. She went to Jokhang Temple to offer incense, and my grandfather went with her."
When it comes to who misses General Han the most, the old princess is definitely one of them, and the old prince is also one, but he scolds him more, and even though everyone is dead, his old wife still misses him. This old boy is very insidious.
A lifelong love rival.
Wen Yao looked at Princess Jing's gentle smile and felt heartbroken. Why didn't the prince cherish such a good princess?
"Princess, I came to see you. Are you feeling better recently?"
Princess Jing held her hand, she liked her no matter what, and said: "It's much better. If you marry me in, I will be better off. You came just in time. I packed some jewelry and was about to send someone to deliver it to you."
.”
Wen Yao quickly declined: "I already have a lot of money in my warehouse, so you should leave it to Huahua as your dowry."
Princess Jing said disgustedly: "Do you think she looks like someone who wears those jewelry? I don't know if I can see her get married in this life. Don't worry, she is indispensable. Yaoyao, you dress up beautifully first, I
I also like it when I look at it.”
"I don't dare to refuse the gift from my elders. Just accept it, Yaoyao. My mother has wanted a well-behaved and considerate daughter since she was a child. But in the end, raising me is like raising a tomboy. She treats you as a daughter. You just satisfy her by dressing up her daughter."
What’s on your mind.”
Wen Yao had no choice but to accept it with a smile, and Princess Jing asked her to drink tea and snacks again, and asked her many questions. Until Yuan Rui came back, she was reluctant to let her go.
Yuanhua smiled and said: "Mom, it's time to return the person to my brother. It's not easy to meet him."
Princess Jing was angry, "You talk a lot of weird things and you are thin-skinned. You will be embarrassed. You go and chat. You can stay for dinner later. I will let the kitchen cook your favorite dishes."
Wen Yao readily agreed. Princess Jing was also lonely and wanted her children to accompany her and have a lively meal.
Yuanhua left them some alone space. Yuan Rui held her hand and couldn't bear to let go: "Yaoyao, thank you for coming to see me. How did you know that I missed you?"
Wen Yao: "..."
My love words are getting smoother and smoother, I just open my mouth and come,
"Who wants to see you? I have something important to tell you, so be serious."
Yuan Rui, who was getting serious, straightened his posture and said, "Okay, you say it, I'll listen."
If you are willing to let go of your gentle hand, you will be able to act like a serious person.
Wen Yao couldn't break free, so she had to let him hold her and said, "Have you heard about the business road opening in the northwest?"
Yuan Rui frowned: "I heard that the DPRK and China are generally not very optimistic about it. I also want to find an opportunity to tell you that it is not suitable to get involved in this matter, as it will offend many people."
Wen Yao said: "Why? Isn't it good to open up trade routes and increase taxes if China's treasury is empty? Has anyone's interest been affected?"
Yuan Rui said: "The military generals group has controlled the entire northwest line for many years. As a result, they can no longer receive high caravan protection fees. The water here is very deep. You don't understand."
Wen Yao was silent, she really didn't understand.
It was really difficult to do something practical. Wen Yao was a little frustrated: "Well, luckily I didn't start. I give up."
Yuan Rui comforted her: "I know you mean well. You are more worried about the country and the people than many people in the court, and want to do something good. I will help you pay attention. If there is a time to do something, I will definitely let you do it.
"
Wen Yao waved his hand: "I'm not an official, so I don't care whether this matter succeeds or not. I just want Wen Zhao to have a chance to make meritorious deeds and be valued by the emperor.
He is still young and will have many opportunities in the future. You should take more care of him. I am worried that he will be framed."
Yuan Rui obliged: "If you don't tell me, I can do it. Wen Zhao is also my brother-in-law. Now he only needs to teach the emperor's grandson well, which will be a great contribution.
Alas, many things in the DPRK and China are difficult to recover from and cannot be accomplished by one's own abilities."
"I see."
After the business was finished, Yuan Rui asked her: "I heard from my servants that you had a quarrel with your father at the gate?"
Wen Yao looked at him deeply: "Yuan Rui, if you find that your father has done something bad, what will you do?"
"Then it depends on how bad these things are. Yaoyao, I know you must know something. You are worried about me so you won't tell me, but I hope you believe me. No matter what happens, I want to be with you.
You face it together."
Wen Yao's heart was filled with tears. Yuan Rui was better than she thought and cared more about herself. She decided to completely reveal Yuan Jingzhou's true face. He did not deserve the respect Yuan Rui and Yuan Zha had for him.
"I'll take you to a place, see it with your own eyes, listen with your own ears, and then make a decision. Everything I say is useless."
"good."
Yuan Rui intuitively knew that this truth would be cruel, but no matter what, he had to face it instead of escaping from it.
