Wishful Things

Chapter 568

Eavesdropping is too small...

Wu Chao wanted to laugh inexplicably—do you want him to go in now and remind the two grandfathers to speak louder so that Zhao Zhao, his family, can eavesdrop?

Xu Mingyi relied on his ears to be strong enough, and with his concentration, he was able to hear the general idea.

"...Back then, my second child came to the door several times to ask for an interview, but you always had a tough attitude and didn't leave any room for it! The two children are in love with each other, but you have to get in the way!"

"Am I being a hindrance?" King Dingnan sneered: "...you, a father, have never breathed a sigh of relief from the beginning to the end, so how do I know that you are interested in this marriage!"

If you want your son to marry his daughter, you still blow your beard and stare at him all day long. Is this the attitude you should have when you want to get married?

He was just an old man back then, but he refused to agree—the Xu family didn't agree. If he agreed to Xu Yun, wouldn't it make his Wu family lose face!

"If I didn't agree, I would have broken my boy's leg long ago, and I would have given him a chance to embarrass himself in front of you?!" Duke Zhen was quite annoyed: "If you let go in secret, I will It can make people come to propose marriage!"

The deadly enemy insisted on objecting, and did not leave any room for his son, if he rushed to the door to discuss marriage, wouldn't he send his face to the door and be beaten?

Throughout the ages, which family has not first made a secret announcement when discussing relatives? But this old bastard surnamed Wu was always blocked!

Under such circumstances, in order to save face, he had to scold the second child severely, and not allow him to enter Wu's house again - but this is all for another day!

"I thought you had no intentions, and secondly, this marriage has many disadvantages. My Wu family has nothing to fear, but your Xu family is afraid that it will attract fear! Under such circumstances, how can I let go?"

"If the marriage is not successful, there is no shortage of fear! What's more, the method was negotiated by others! In the end, you only care about your own majesty and plan, when did you think about the children? According to the will, send the little girl to the palace!"

"How do you know that the decree must be my answer—" Dingnan Wang was very angry, "I was just thinking about it back then, but my daughter insisted on it and made her own choice!"

Lord Zhen frowned.

He didn't know this...

Wu Chao outside the wall was very surprised.

What surprised him was not the many misunderstandings and twists and turns in this old incident, but... his grandfather always disdained to explain things, and never said much about right and wrong, but it was very different to Duke Zhen at this time.

Xu Mingyi also realized this and thought it was a good sign.

It is undeniable that her grandfather was really good at provoking people, but King Dingnan chose to tell these old inside stories at this time, not necessarily because he was provoked——

I'm so angry, I can get up and leave, why bother to sit still and continue to suffer this anger?

Therefore, she reckoned that the reason why King Dingnan said this was probably to solve the misunderstandings of the past...

As for solving the misunderstanding, this old man Wu was also very unforgiving, and then said with a sneer: "If you want to blame, you can only blame your son of the Xu family for being too affectionate. After a fall, all the sons and daughters of my Wu family have the overall situation in mind, and they all put the family's business in the first place!"

"..." Wu Chao sighed slightly.

From this it can be seen that the reason why they don't get along so well can't be entirely blamed on one person...

——He never knew that his grandfather had such a sloppy side.

"Yes, your Wu family has a serious situation, and you pretend to be serious! My Xu family only knows about the love of children! I am not worthy of being in-laws with your Wu family!" Duke Zhen sneered heavily: "In that case, then your grandson—— , your grandson, Jin Gui, 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 confuse it!"

"Heh, I, the Xu family, never dare to climb up to your mansion—"

"..." Wu Chao was terrified when he heard this, he really didn't expect that the fire would burn himself.

Suddenly, I felt a little regretful for making this meeting happen...

"Angry words, angry words..." Xu Mingyi comforted, "It can't be true."

Grandfather is deliberately using the marriage to judge King Dingnan...

Xu Mingyi listened for a while, until there was a sound of vigorously pulling the chair away. It was obviously her grandfather getting up, and she immediately stood up after her in a hurry.

But because he moved too quickly, his forehead hit the boy's jaw.

Wu Chao hurriedly checked her forehead: "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Xu Mingyi didn't care about it, took his hand off in a hurry, and quickly walked back to the back hall along the long corridor.

As soon as the two stepped into the hall, they heard the sound of the door of the tea room being pushed open suddenly.

"Your grandfather is mentally ill, and he is very ill. Regardless of any medicine, give it to him as soon as possible!" Duke Zhen said in a deep voice when he saw Wu Chao.

The old man was obviously angry, Wu Chao subconsciously nodded in response: "Yes..."

Following him, King Dingnan cast a cold glance at his grandson.

yes?

Wu Chao coughed lightly: ...No.

Instinctively, without thinking.

"Zhao Zhao, let's go!" Duke Zhen was furious, his whole body seemed to be on fire, and he could light a large area wherever he went.

Only Xu Mingyi dared to tug on his sleeve, and said to him in a low voice: "Grandfather, just wait."

Then, he bowed to King Dingnan and said, "I wonder if this junior can invite Mrs. Wu to move forward and have a talk alone?"

Lord Zhen snorted coldly: "What can we talk about with a dead-headed person like him!"

King Dingnan didn't even glance at him, he just looked at the little girl with a serious look, and after a while, he nodded slightly with unclear eyes.

Then the two left the back hall one by one, walked down the stone steps, and slowly came to the gazebo in the backyard.

Seeing the old man stop, Xu Mingyi also stopped, first raised his hand and gave a deep salute.

The salute she performed was not a blessing ceremony for an ordinary girl's family, but a salute with her hands, or because her temperament was not weak, making such an action did not make people feel the slightest sense of disobedience.

"The grandfather at home is impatient, and there may be many inappropriate words and deeds. If he is rude and offended, I hope that Mrs. Wu will not take it to heart."

King Dingnan said noncommittally: "Miss Xu invited the old man to talk alone, just to make grandfather pay for it, isn't it?"

This is what an ordinary and sensible girl would do.

Xu Mingyi said "yes" first, and then said: "But apart from that, this junior has a few other words to say."

King Dingnan looked at the girl, and tacitly signaled her to speak.

"What my grandfather and His Royal Highness the King of Yan are asking for is nothing more than accomplishing great things together. For my Xu family and King Yan's mansion, the current situation is that if we do not advance or retreat, we must make a choice. As for the plan set, the younger generation also I don’t think it’s a reckless move, but after careful consideration, there are indeed many people and things that need to be preserved—”

Under the light of the moon, the little girl's hazy eyebrows and eyes were firm: "The empress who entered the palace for business and has been by the side of fierce tigers and wolves for many years, you should save—"

"Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu, who have been held hostage for many years in Beijing, should be rescued."

"The people of the world who have suffered from incompetence and tyranny for a long time should also be saved."

"In the eyes of the juniors and others, these are people who must be abandoned. If you just delay and wait and see, then as long as there is a slight mistake, it is these people who will be the first to become pawns and pay the price." people."

The girl's tone was not heavy, but every word and every sentence seemed to carry a heavy weight.

"Old Master Wu's schemes are all for the sake of the reputation of the younger generations. His Royal Highness Yan King knows this painstakingly, and Wu Shisun also understands it. However, in all things in the world, there is rarely a strategy that can achieve both. The so-called careful planning means that if the timing is not right, Or it’s hard to find everything—the picture is too full, and there will be more scruples and constraints. The current situation is difficult, and there is still no chance of winning if you fight with all your strength. Wouldn't it be the biggest obstacle instead?"

From beginning to end, this old man wanted to make King Yan and his son justified, but he didn't know that once this idea became an obsession, it would be a sharp knife, with the tip of the knife pointing towards him without knowing it.

Listening to what the girl said this time, King Dingnan didn't speak, and he couldn't see any joy or anger.

Xu Mingyi then said: "On the contrary, if you are willing to let go of this obsession for a while, maybe there will be a bright future in the future, and when the road turns around—"

King Dingnan's eyes moved slightly.

The little girl's words are not like casual words...

"I don't know if Wu Shisun mentioned to you that the late emperor died of an old disease, but there is something else going on inside?"

King Dingnan's complexion changed slightly: "I never—"

Is there another story behind the death of the first emperor?

There are not a few people who doubt this matter, and he is no exception, but the key point is that he heard the affirmative tone of the little girl...

"Wu Shisun and I just learned about this matter not long ago—" Xu Mingyi then learned from Qiao Bing the many suspicious aspects of the late emperor's death, as well as the confirmation from Ji Xiu, and the relationship with Ji Xiu. The transaction is roughly said again.

"This junior has made an agreement with Ji Shangshu, and once Xia Tingzhen dies, he will reveal the whole truth."

Ji Xiu...

King Dingnan asked, "Why did Ji Xiu insist on putting Xia Tingzhen to death at this time?"

He just felt that there was a lot of insider information, how could Ji Xiu agree so easily to such an important matter? There is nothing wrong with it.

The old man was cautious and clear-headed, so Xu Mingyi couldn't save trouble, so he said, "Ji Xiu's two sons didn't die at the hands of the enemy, but died in the emperor's conspiracy against His Royal Highness King Yan. Later, the emperor and Xia Tingzhen used this incident to provoke Ji Xiu, not long ago, His Royal Highness King Yan came to Beijing, Ji Xiu met the former servants in private, and knew the whole truth—”

King Dingnan understood just now.

I see.

In this way, Ji Xiu hated Xia Tingzhen's death and refused to care about the emperor, which made sense.

But--

"How do you know that after removing Xia Tingzhen for him, he will definitely agree?" With the answer to the previous question, asking this question now, King Dingnan no longer has any doubts in his heart, and is more just curious.

I am curious about how this little girl arranged the whole thing. The so-called transaction has a prerequisite, that is, there must be enough confidence to control the other party and not leave room for the other party to repent.

Otherwise, once the other party takes the initiative, the transaction will easily lose money.

"Ji Xiu has an only daughter, and the junior promised to take good care of her no matter what."

A faint smile flashed in King Dingnan's eyes, and he nodded slightly.

Apart from the truth about the death of the first emperor, this whole matter is not such a big one, and it is not so brilliant that it is impeccable.

But what he saw in it was hope.

These children, I don't know when they have already taken charge of their own...

From discovering that Qiao Bing was alive to taking him out of the palace, it was due to his daughter of the Wu family and his two children.

And then there is this unraveling, step by step methodical planning to the present——

Xia Tingzhen has also been cornered.

And these things, he never participated in them from the beginning to the end.

And this is something the little girl used to persuade him. From the small to the big, what he didn't know about the things these two children did must be far more than that.

Frankly speaking, when he was such a young man, his thoughts, thoughts and actions were far inferior to those of these children...

Perhaps, he can no longer judge A Yuan with his own mind at his age.

And before that, he never thought that the girl from the Xu family that his grandson was talking about would be such a girl——

With a young mind and a new love, he certainly thought that the girl Ah Yuan likes must not only be outstanding in appearance, but must have other merits, but when he saw it now, he knew that his thinking was 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, walk forward together, and even give A Yuan a hand...

Not only ability, but a few words, it can also be seen that his knowledge and mind are not inferior to men.

He never imagined that the old man had raised such an unusual grand-daughter-in-law for him—the old man was still somewhat useful.

Mr. Wu has unilaterally changed his address in his mind.

And since the title has been changed, the sincerity of being an elder has to be shown: "What Miss Xu said just now, the old man will carefully consider—"

Xu Mingyi settled down slightly, and saluted the old man again, with a hint of joy in his tone: "Thank you, Mrs. Wu, junior!"

Girls' thanks don't seem to be for themselves.

It's more like for the "rescue" people she mentioned just now.

Among them are people from all over the world, as well as his Wu family...

"The old man thinks it over, no matter what the decision is, he will ask Ah Yuan to tell Miss Xu." The tone of the old man's speech no longer seemed to be treating a boudoir girl.

Xu Ming agreed.

King Dingnan's willingness to think about it is the best start.

King Dingnan said: "It's getting late, let's go back."—Take your wretched grandfather with you.

"Yes, this junior will leave." Xu Mingyi saluted and left.

Seeing his granddaughter returning to the back hall, Lord Zhen urged, "Go, go home."

Wu Chao said: "The junior will send the Duke."

"No need, the old man knows the way!" Lord Zhen Guo's voice was high-pitched, as if he was speaking to a young man.

"..." Wu Chao's mood was complicated.

The Duke of the State is clearly "beating cattle across the mountain".

"I'll go back with my grandfather first—" Xu Mingyi was about to speak to Wu Chao when he was taken away by his grandfather's arms.

She had no choice but to wave to Wu Chao.

Wu Chao nodded back and sighed sadly.
