Because these words were equivalent to urging her to "finalize the marriage as soon as possible", and they were done in the presence of a maid, so the meaning was extraordinary - of course, the close relationship between the female secretary and the master of Gewufang
, it should be said that it has long been a semi-open secret in Changxia Palace and Zichen Pavilion. Now, there is no need to pay special attention to the expectant eyes of everyone.
Wu Zhen looked slightly flustered. It took him a moment to calm down, and he shook his head in confusion.
"Well, maybe I will disappoint my sister..."
"What?" Wu Yan's hand holding the wine shook violently. "How dare that boy start chaos and end up giving up?"
"No, no, the young master didn't do anything." Wu Zhen quickly shook his head and explained. "It's just that maybe I'm overthinking, but the young master seems to be avoiding me lately, intentionally or unintentionally..."
"...Did something happen between you two?" Wu Yan asked with a frown.
"No, I think the problem is not with me and the young master..."
Wu Zhen shook his head when asked, and then pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time. Just when Wu Yan couldn't help but want to urge, Wu Zhen raised his head with awareness, and first looked at Barbara and others next to him.
Then it falls on Wu Yan.
"Sister, something was wrong with the young master after he came back from Zichen Pavilion. Did something happen?"
Although the form of the female secretary's words was a question, the tone was an unquestionable affirmation.
◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇
"Sister, what happened between you and Gu Chen?"
It's not that he never thought about being asked like this. After all, Wu Yan never thought about hiding it from Wu Zhen.
The younger sister fell in love with the young man, but the elder sister slept with the young man first. If this kind of relationship were placed on the daughters of the princes in the Central Plains countries who spend all their time in front of and under the moon, there might be a chance that it would turn into a drama that involves fighting for love and jealousy.
, the entangled drama of sisters’ tragic love and national sorrow and family hatred.
However, for the two sisters who, after their younger brother died and were besieged on all sides, worked together to prop up the Wu family business, the option of "jealousy" was outweighed from the beginning by the practical need to protect the family and prosper the country.
In reality, that person was Li Yang's indispensable pillar, and Wu Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with her choice at that time. When she confessed Gu Chen's bad situation to Wu Zhen at that time, the latter was compared to being taken away by Hengdao.
When the anger of love comes, it gives birth to more fear.
"Young master, it's the same as Shang at that time..."
Wu Zhen's voice was trembling when he said this.
Gongzi Shang is the younger brother of Wu Zhen and Wu Yan, and he is also the target of their love and education. The death of Gongzi Shang is not only the beginning of the war in Liyang, but also an indelible pain in their hearts for both of them.
From the moment he refused the recommendation to study abroad, Gu Chen has almost been regarded as one of the family members by the Wu sisters. The death of the Wu family's middle son Shang, and Li Yanggong's retirement, is like the possibility that "Gu Chen will follow in their footsteps one after another."
For the two sisters, this is not a groundless delusion, but a fearful fate that often makes their scalps numb.
"I actually didn't notice at all..."
Wu Zhen gasped and wanted to drink some water to calm down, but found that he couldn't hold the water glass.
"Don't force it. After all, I was much more panicked than you were when the accident happened."
Wu Yan exhaled comfort. At this point, there is no need for redundant words. As long as the two sisters who share weal and woe exchange glances, they can feel the lingering wavering and fear in each other's hearts.
"yes……"
Wu Zhen was comforted by his sister for a long time before he managed to collect his emotions.
Although she had considered various possibilities before coming here, she also planned to accept the reality resignedly. However, the answer Wu Yan gave was far beyond her expectation, which made Wu Zhen shaken violently. The female secretary reflected on herself in shame.
Have you ever thought about understanding the man, and at the same time be grateful to the sister who saved your boss?
"I'm sorry, I seem to have been causing trouble to my sister... It's Shang's business, it's also Young Master's business..." Wu Zhen lowered his head to his sister.
"What are you talking about? You have helped me countless times, have I ever thanked you?" Wu Yanhao waved his hand happily, and discussed with Wu Zhen to resolve the entanglement in her heart. "Anyway, this time is over.
I will make it clear to that person. From now on, if you should get married, you should get married, and if you should have children, you should have children..."
"That's not possible!" Wu Zhen raised his head and categorically denied. "Since my sister has slept...with the young master, it should be my sister who marries him!"
"Should I marry her? Tell me, what are you talking about?" Wu Yan blushed and refuted. "That guy is not the type I admire at all. He is as thin as a bamboo pole...Although, there are times when he is brave, but I
You are already 26 or 7, wouldn't it be strange to marry again? So don't worry about me, just get married as soon as possible."
"In order of eldest child, the elder sister should marry first." Wu Zhen insisted half-step wrongly. "And if the elder sister is pregnant with the young master's child, how should she tell her father?"
"Oh..." Wu Yan was immediately speechless.
For the young Wu family, if Wu Yan is pregnant with a child, regardless of male or female, it will definitely be a treasure of the family. It is impossible to abort it, but to be born, one must be famous and worthy. Unless the Wu family wants to become the laughing stock of the world.
, otherwise Wu Yan would not be able to refute his sister's proposition no matter how unwilling he was.
Just as the two sisters were arguing in distress, Barbara, the female clerk next to them, suddenly intervened.
"In this case, your true highness, your highness, just marry him together?"
"What……"
The lady in charge and the talented lady Shuli looked at the tall and strong Southern barbarian female official in astonishment, as if they had been punched.
Generally speaking, it is taboo for a retainer to interfere in the household affairs of the lord, but Barbara is a veteran retainer who has served the Wu family since he was the Duke of Li Yang, and was also the nanny who took care of Wu Zhen and Wu Yan since he was a child. She is basically half a member of the Wu clan.
He has the privilege of speaking out and admonishing the two princesses.
But even so, this remonstrance was so radical that the other old maids looked vaguely uneasy, but Barbara continued speaking nonchalantly.
"Speaking of which, our uncle is not a worry-free person. He just came back from the desert and was busy complaining about mirages. It makes people worried all day long. It would be too pitiful to leave it to the care of His Highness. What if something happens to our uncle again one day?
What should we do if something like this happens if His Highness Yan is not here?"
This extremely possible description made Wu Zhen and Wu Yan shudder at the same time.
"Hey, to be honest, in order to help the two highnesses arrange their marriage, Aunt Ba has met a lot of young talents, but I can't find a good-tempered and affectionate master like my uncle even with a lantern.
Oh? If you don’t seize the opportunity, if you miss this village, you won’t have this store.”
