Chapter 77
In the east courtyard, Mrs. Jiang is trying her best to persuade Mrs. Feng:
"We are getting married, not enmity. I remember you said that the daughter-in-law of the Song family was engaged to be married, and her parents were reluctant to let her get married so early and only stayed for two more years. Now that something like this has happened, they want to exchange her for marriage. This marriage
Can it be good?"
"I..." Ms. Feng knew she was in the wrong, but she was unwilling to give up. "Her grandfather proposed the matter of marriage and her parents' orders. Her parents agreed, and His Majesty also acquiesced. Once it is done, she is willing to get it.
Marry, you have to marry even if you don’t want to.
It's not like we forced her, if you want to hate her, just hate her parents and that shameless sister."
"But she lives with Sanlang!" Mrs. Feng's persistence towards the daughter of the noble family made Mrs. Jiang a little anxious, "The young couple has closed their doors, how do you know if they are doing well? Is Sanlang gentle and considerate to Sanlang?
Is it going well?"
"Why doesn't it go well? I, Saburo, are a great man. How many heads have I killed while riding on the battlefield in my youth? Can she, a little girl, fly into the sky in his hands?" Feng was quite confident about this.
Mrs. Jiang: "..."
I held my forehead and walked a few steps, but it didn't work. My heart felt a little blocked.
In fact, the Marquis, her, and the two concubines all knew what the holy intention was, but it was difficult for Feng to accept it. Whenever she heard her guessing the royal intention, Feng became extremely irritable and refused to say anything.
Mrs. Jiang knew that talking too much about this matter would cause internal conflicts, which would be detrimental to the Marquis.
However, as a mistress, she could not just watch Feng lead the wolf into the house. Hard confrontation would not work, it was related to the lifelong happiness of the child, and Feng would rather fall out with her or even the Marquis than stick to her own opinion.
Since she values her children, her only plan is to first tell the prince and Saburo about their interests, and then let them persuade her.
"This matter is related to Sanlang's happiness. Should..." Halfway through her words, Jiang unexpectedly saw the crown prince and Sanlang coming together. She was overjoyed and asked, "Prince, Changjia, what are you doing here? But your father
woke up?"
"Mother, Er Niang," the two brothers saluted the two elders, and the prince said, "I haven't woken up yet, but the medical officers are here, so don't worry, mother. By the way, A Zhao is here, do you want mother to go and have a look? Just rely on force.
Xi is alone, and my son is afraid that he will not be able to control her."
Something happened in the mansion, and when the capital attracted the attention of the whole world, no wise assassin would choose to attack the mansion at this time. However, my father asked his soldiers to surround the palace, and the lieutenants also felt like they were facing a formidable enemy. Since yesterday,
It's so late that I don't dare to relax.
He guessed that it was probably not someone else that his parents wanted to guard against, but...
"Ah? I'll go take a look." Sure enough, as soon as Mrs. Jiang heard her daughter coming, she said quickly, "Then you two talk to your grandma, and I'll go and see Azhao."
She said hello to Mrs. Feng, and when she turned around, she took a deep look at the Crown Prince and saw him nodding slightly before leaving with peace of mind.
As soon as Mrs. Jiang left, Sanlang knelt down in front of Mrs. Feng:
"Auntie, my son is unfilial and I will never marry that Song girl!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Feng yelled angrily.
She was about to persuade her son to come, but she was attacked by an army, and she suddenly became furious.
"Who is the Song family? Even a little orphan girl looks down on my Hou family, let alone their legitimate daughter?" Bei Yueli raised his head angrily and said bluntly, "Auntie, my father was so angry at the Song family last night that he vomited blood.
If someone raises his hand and throws out a legitimate daughter, can he get over it?
Do you want the world to know that she must be the daughter of the Song family in our Marquis's house? Apart from the Song family's daughter, will my dignified third son of the Marquis' family not be able to marry a real wife? Am I so cowardly and incompetent in the eyes of my mother-in-law?
"
"No, I..." She did it for his own good.
Her son's sobs and accusations made Mrs. Feng's heart clench tightly. Just as she was about to explain, the crown prince also knelt down, which shocked her.
"Auntie," Prince Hou called her in private for the first time since the adoption, "my son went to the hearing last night, and that maid never left my side. The prince's mansion is about to be overthrown, and it is as dangerous as eggs. Such heart-wrenching words are obvious to the world." Everyone is aware of the plight of our government, how long will you continue to cover your eyes and deceive yourself and others?
It's easy to stop outside thieves, but it's hard to guard against domestic thieves. The Song family's daughter has a dirty character. Running away from marriage will only hurt her face. If the family thieves frame her... Auntie, are you willing to watch your son and your grandchildren die?"
The crown prince's mother-in-law's call made Mrs. Feng extremely sad.
Sanlang's stubbornness made her brain hurt, but Erlang's words pierced her heart.
"No," Mrs. Feng sat down in front of the steps, staring blankly at her two sons kneeling side by side, and muttered, "He is your uncle..."
He is not the father, he will not do it.
…
In the North Courtyard, in the dormitory of Dingyuan Marquis, except for the two concubines accompanying him, Yuan Zhao was the only one. Her father was still awake and could not move his eyelids. Zhuo Ji told her gently that before the Marquis passed out, Don't disturb her.
A loving father's heart makes people cry.
Mrs. Jiang ordered that when she comes over, they should persuade her to stay here peacefully so that the Marquis can see her filial piety for the first time when he wakes up, and he will be in a good mood.
Yuan Zhao: "..."
She knew that her father loved her. However, her father's love was as deep as a mountain and was unspoken. There must be something fishy about being so deliberate this time. Instead of waiting in vain, it would be better for her to go out and bring bad luck to the Song family.
The imperial court refused to severely punish the Song family. As a woman, she should vent her anger on behalf of her father and brother.
The brothers are adults and cannot do anything; she is different, she is young, and based on the concept that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, even if she gets into trouble, she will be let off lightly.
He, the Song family, was so hypocritical and unreasonable that he had the nerve to care about a child like her?
Even if he holds on to her, His Majesty will intercede on her behalf and give her a few chances, just a few times is enough for her to make trouble. Just so that the powerful people in the capital can open their eyes and see clearly, how can she be in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion? Bullying?
"I'm going to talk to my mother about something." Yuan Zhao stood up calmly.
Zhuo Ji and Lan Ji believed it was true. Anyway, the medical officers were guarding the side room next door and would come over if there was any movement. Her little child couldn't help here.
He nodded slightly and let her leave.
Yuan Zhao looked calm. As soon as he walked out of his father's bedroom, he saw Ji Wu coming in with a cup of medicine.
"Princess? I remember that my mistress asked you to stay here, where are you going?" he asked in surprise.
Mrs. Zhuo, Mrs. Lan are too easy to deceive, right? Let her go so easily? Tsk tsk~.
"I'm going to talk to my mother about something and I'll be back soon." Yuan Zhao said without raising his head.
"No," Ji Wu held the medicine and stopped her, "The mistress is discussing something important with Mrs. Feng, and it's not a good time for you to go over now. Why don't you, Princess, wait patiently while your subordinates go and report..."
After saying that, he casually wanted to hand the medicine cup tray to her.
How could Yuan Zhao be fooled? He sidestepped and said smartly:
"No need, I can go there myself!"
If Yuan Zhao were an ordinary girl, Ji Wu could stop her even if she was holding a cauldron. Unfortunately, she was not. She was agile and practiced diligently. She might not be able to beat him, but she could still hide.
After a few dodges, she had already rushed out of the inner room. Ji Wu, holding the medicine, helplessly watched her disappear at the door.
Alas, fortunately Mr. Hou had the foresight and was prepared in advance.
Outside, Yuan Zhao jumped out and took a look. Only Wu Xi and Qi Ge were left outside the house, and the others were nowhere to be seen.
"Princess." Wu Xi stepped forward to greet her.
Yuan Zhao nodded towards her, without asking her where the rest of the people had gone, and said directly to Brother Qi:
"Brother Qi, I have something to go back to Huatong Courtyard. I'll be here soon. Please stay here and take care of me."
"Okay, let's go." Qilang is a simple boy.
Wu Xi: "..."
