Wu Chao wanted to laugh inexplicably - should he go in now and remind his two grandfathers to speak louder so that his family, Zhao Zhao, could eavesdrop?
Xu Mingyi relied on his ears to be confident enough, and he could get a general idea by concentrating his attention.
"...Back then, my second son came to see me several times for this purpose, but you always had a tough attitude and left no room for mercy! The two children are very happy with each other, but you had to interfere with them and beat them up!"
"Am I standing in the way?" King Dingnan sneered: "...You, the father, never took a breath from the beginning to the end, how could I know that you were interested in this marriage!"
If you want your son to marry his daughter, you still keep squinting at him all the time. Is this the attitude you should have if you want to get married?
At that time, he only thought that this old man was unwilling to agree - even the Xu family did not agree. If he agreed to Xu Yun, wouldn't it bring disgrace to the Wu family!
"If I hadn't agreed, I would have broken my boy's legs long ago. How could I have given him a chance to embarrass himself in front of you?!" Duke Zhen Guo was a little annoyed: "If you just relax secretly, I will too."
I can get people to come to propose marriage!"
His sworn enemy was determined to object and would not leave any room for his son. If he rushed to the door to discuss marriage, wouldn't he be sending his face to the door to be beaten?
Throughout the ages, which family did not first take a breath in secret when discussing marriage? But this old guy named Wu always blocked his breath!
Under such circumstances, in order to save face, he would of course give the second son a hard lesson and not allow him to enter the Wu family again - but this was all for another time!
"I thought you didn't mean it, but the second thing is that this marriage has many disadvantages. My Wu family is not terrible, but your Xu family is afraid that it will cause jealousy! How can I let go of it under such circumstances?"
"The marriage has not been successful, and there is no less fear! What's more, the method was negotiated by people! In the end, you only care about your own majesty and planning, when have you ever thought about the children? Otherwise, you wouldn't have acted on the back foot.
According to the decree, the little girl was sent to the palace!"
"How do you know that the decree must be made by me -" King Dingnan said angrily, "I was just thinking about it back then, but my daughter insisted on it and made the choice on her own!"
The Duke of Zhen frowned.
He didn't know this...
Wu Chao outside the wall was very surprised when he heard this.
What surprised him was not the many misunderstandings and twists and turns of this old incident, but... his grandfather had always disdainful of explaining his actions and never talked much about right and wrong, but this was very different to the Duke of Zhen.
Xu Mingyi also realized this and thought it was a good sign.
It is undeniable that her grandfather was really good at irritating people, but King Dingnan chose to tell these old secrets at this time, not necessarily because he was provoked——
I'm really angry. I could just get up and leave. Why sit still and continue to be angry?
Therefore, she guessed that the reason why King Dingnan said this was to resolve the misunderstanding in the past...
To clear up the misunderstanding, Mr. Wu was also very unforgiving, and then said with a sneer: "If you want to blame, I can only blame your Xu family's son for being too affectionate, so that's why
We are in a state of despair, but all the sons and daughters of our Wu family have the overall situation in mind, and they all put the family’s business first!”
"..." Wu Chao sighed slightly after hearing this.
This shows that the reason for such incompatibility cannot be entirely blamed on one person...
——He never knew that his grandfather had such a shy side.
"Yes, you, the Wu family, are concerned about the big picture, and you only pretend to be serious! My Xu family only knows the love between children! We are not worthy of being in-laws with your Wu family!" The Duke of Zhenguo sneered heavily: "In that case, then your grandson - no
, your precious grandson no longer has to think about marrying a girl from my Xu family!"
"You..." King Dingnan's tone obviously weakened: "Don't mess around and mix things up!"
"Oh, I, the Xu family, would never dare to climb up to your mansion——"
"..." Wu Chao was frightened when he heard this. He really didn't expect that the fire would actually burn him.
Suddenly, I regretted having facilitated this meeting...
"Angry words, angry words..." Xu Mingyi comforted: "You can't take it seriously."
Grandfather is deliberately using the marriage to influence King Nan...
Xu Mingyi listened for a while longer, until there was a sound of a chair being pulled out forcefully. It was obviously her grandfather standing up, and she immediately stood up as well.
But because he moved too quickly, his forehead hit the boy's chin.
Wu Chao hurriedly went to check her forehead: "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt." Xu Mingyi couldn't care less and hurriedly took his hand off and hurried back to the back hall along the corridor.
As soon as the two of them stepped into the hall, they heard the sound of the tearoom door being pushed open violently.
"Your grandfather is mentally ill, and he is seriously ill. No matter what kind of medicine you have, just give it to him as soon as possible!" When the Duke of Zhen saw Wu Chao, he said in a deep voice.
The old man was obviously angry, Wu Chao nodded subconsciously: "Yes..."
King Dingnan, who followed him out, glanced at his grandson coldly.
yes?
Wu Chao coughed lightly: ...No.
Out of instinct, without thinking.
"Zhaozhao, let's go!" Duke Zhenguo was furious, and his whole body seemed to be on fire. Wherever he went, he lit a large area on fire.
That's why Xu Mingyi dared to pull his sleeves and whispered to him: "Grandpa, please wait."
Then, he saluted King Dingnan and said, "I wonder if this junior could invite Mr. Wu to go and talk alone?"
Duke Zhen Guo snorted coldly: "What can you say to a stubborn person like him?"
King Dingnan didn't even glance at him. He only looked at the serious-looking little girl. After a moment, he nodded vaguely.
The two of them left the back hall one after another, walked down the stone steps, and slowly arrived at the pavilion in the backyard.
Seeing the old man stop, Xu Mingyi also stopped and first raised his hand to give a deep salute.
The ceremony she performed was not the ordinary girl's blessing ceremony, but she held her hands and gave a ceremony. Perhaps because her temperament was not weak, making such an action did not make people feel any sense of violation.
"My grandfather has an impatient temper, and his words and deeds may be inappropriate in many ways. I hope that Mr. Wu will not take it to heart."
King Dingnan said without comment: "Isn't it true that Miss Xu invited me to talk to me alone just to make my grandfather apologize?"
This is something an ordinary and sensible girl would do.
Xu Mingyi first said "yes" and then said: "But besides that, I have a few other things I want to say."
King Dingnan looked at the girl and silently motioned for her to speak.
"In the final analysis, what my grandfather and His Highness Prince Yan want is to achieve great things together. The current situation for our Xu family and Prince Yan's Mansion is that if we don't advance, we will retreat. We must make a choice. As for the plans we have made, the younger generation also
I don’t think it was a reckless move, but after thinking carefully, there are indeed many people and things that need to be protected——”
Under the pale moonlight, the little girl's hazy eyebrows had a firm look on her face: "The Queen, who entered the palace to seek employment and has been by the side of tigers and wolves for many years, should save—"
"Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu, who have been held hostage in Beijing for many years, need to be rescued."
"The people of the world, who have been under tyranny for a long time, should also be saved."
"In the eyes of the younger generation and others, these are all people who should not be abandoned. If we continue to delay blindly and wait and see, as long as there is a slight mistake, these people will be the first to become pawns and they are destined to pay the price. people."
The girl's tone was not serious, but every word seemed to carry a heavy weight.
"Mr. Wu's plans are all for the sake of the reputation of his descendants. His Royal Highness King Yan is aware of these efforts, and so is Wu Shisun. However, there are few things in the world that can have the best of both worlds. The so-called careful planning, if the timing is not grasped properly, Or maybe it’s hard to find everything - if you want too much, you will have more scruples and constraints. The current situation is difficult, and there is still no chance of winning with all your strength. If there are many limitations that limit your hands and feet, this so-called "have both" is not possible. Wouldn’t it actually become the biggest obstacle?”
This old man wanted to give Prince Yan and his son a good reputation from the beginning to the end. Little did he know that once this idea became an obsession, it would be a sharp blade, with the tip of the blade pointing towards him without knowing it.
Listening to what the girl said, King Dingnan did not speak, nor could he show any emotion or anger.
Xu Mingyi then said: "On the other hand, if you are willing to let go of this obsession temporarily, maybe there will be a bright future, and things will turn around -"
King Dingnan’s eyes moved slightly.
The little girl’s words were not casual remarks…
"I wonder if Wu Shisun mentioned to you that the late emperor died of an old illness, but there was actually something else going on?"
King Dingnan's expression changed slightly: "I never——"
Is there an inside story behind the death of the late emperor?
There were many people who doubted this matter, and he was no exception, but the key was that he heard the little girl's affirmative tone...
"Wu Shisun and I just learned about this not long ago -" Xu Mingyi then learned from Qiao Bingying about the many suspicious aspects of the late emperor's death, as well as the confirmation from Ji Xiu, and the relationship between him and Ji Xiu. The transaction was briefly discussed.
"This junior has made an agreement with Minister Ji. As soon as Xia Tingzhen dies, he will reveal all the truth about the past."
Ji Xiu...
King Dingnan asked: "Why did Ji Xiu insist on putting Xia Tingzhen to death at this time?"
He just felt that there were a lot of strange things inside. How could Ji Xiu agree to such a big event so easily? There could be some fraud involved.
The old man's thoughts were cautious and sober, and Xu Mingyi could not save the trouble, so he said: "The second son Ji Xiu did not die in the hands of the enemy, but in the emperor's conspiracy against His Highness King Yan. Later, the emperor and Xia Tingzhen used this matter to instigate exploitation. Ji Xiu, not long ago, His Royal Highness King Yan came to Beijing. Ji Xiu met his former servant in private and already knew the whole truth——"
King Dingnan finally understood.
I see.
In this case, it makes sense that Ji Xiu hated Xia Tingzhen's death and refused to care about the emperor anymore.
But--
"How do you know that after removing Xia Tingzhen for him, he will definitely agree?" With the answer to the previous question, when he asked this question again, King Dingnan no longer had any doubts in his heart, but was more just curious.
I'm curious how this little girl arranged the whole thing. There is a prerequisite for the so-called transaction, that is, you must be sure enough to control the other party without leaving room for the other party to regret.
Otherwise, once the other party takes the initiative, the transaction will easily lose money.
"Ji Xiu has an only daughter, and I promised to protect her no matter what."
A faint smile flashed in King Dingnan's eyes, and he nodded slightly.
Except for the truth about the death of the late emperor, this whole matter is not a big deal, nor is it impeccable.
But what he saw in it was hope.
These children have been on their own for some time...
From discovering that Qiao Bingying was alive to taking him out of the palace, his Wu family's daughter and his two children contributed to this.
And then there is this unraveling, step by step methodical planning to the present day——
Xia Tingzhen has also been forced into a desperate situation.
And he has never participated in these things from beginning to end.
This was one of the things the little girl used to persuade him. From a small perspective, he knew what these two children were doing, and there must be far more than that.
Frankly speaking, when he was such a young boy, his thoughts, concerns and actions were far inferior to those of these children...
Perhaps, he can no longer judge A Yuan based on his character at this age.
Before that, he had never thought that the girl from the Xu family whom his grandson mentioned would be such a girl——
As a young man with a new love, he had certainly thought that the girl A Yuan liked must not only be beautiful, but also have other redeeming features. But now that he saw her, he realized that his thinking was still too superficial.
This is not a girl who needs to be protected by A Yuan, but a girl who can stand side by side with A Yuan, move forward together, and even give A Yuan a hand...
Not only his ability, but also his few words, it can be seen that his knowledge and mind are not inferior to those of men.
He never imagined that the old man would actually raise such an unusual granddaughter-in-law for him - the old man was somewhat useful.
Mr. Wu has unilaterally changed his title in his mind.
Since the title has been changed, I have to show my sincerity as an elder: "What Miss Xu just said, I will consider it carefully——"
Xu Mingyi calmed down and saluted the old man again, with a hint of joy in his tone: "Thank you, Mr. Wu, junior!"
A girl's gratitude is not for herself.
It's more like doing it for the people she just mentioned who "should be saved".
Among them are people from all over the world, as well as his Wu family...
"After I think about it, no matter what decision I make, I will ask A Yuan to inform Miss Xu." The tone of the old man's words no longer sounded like he was dealing with a boudoir girl.
Xu Mingyi agreed.
If King Dingnan is willing to consider it, that is the best start.
King Dingnan said: "It's getting late, go back." - Take your terrible grandfather with you.
"Yes, I will take my leave, junior." Xu Mingyi saluted and left.
Seeing his granddaughter returning to the back hall, the Duke of Zhen urged her: "Let's go home."
Wu Chao said: "I will send the Duke to you."
"No need, I know the way!" Duke Zhenguo's voice was high-pitched, and it didn't sound like he was talking to the young man.
"..." Wu Chao was in a complicated mood.
The Duke of Guo is openly "beating the cow across the mountain".
"I will go back with my grandfather first -" Xu Mingyi was just about to say a word to Wu Chao when his grandfather grabbed his arm and took him away.
She had no choice but to wave to Wu Chao.
Wu Chao nodded in return and sighed silently, a little sadly.
He is not afraid of being angered, as long as it does not seriously influence him to marry a wife.
