Chapter 119 The Irritated Villain’s Beloved (14)
There is more than one thing that makes Shangshufu anxious.
Liu Xuanzhi told his father that yesterday the Duke of Zhen came to the palace to request an annulment of the engagement, and his uncle accidentally broke into Concubine Shu's palace. He didn't know what he bumped into, but he had been handed over to the Ministry of Punishment.
"What about the marriage? Don't let the marriage be called off just like that?" That's not possible. Liu Yuanqing is well aware of her daughter's concerns and also knows that she is considering the future of the Liu family and cannot call off the marriage.
Once the engagement is broken off, the stupid nephew will not be able to find a wife.
Liu Xuanzhi: "Father, the marriage has been cancelled. My uncle has been sent to the Ministry of Punishment. As for my sister, there is no news yet."
Liu Xuanzhi felt that something was strange. With his sister's level of alertness, it was impossible that no news would spread.
The reason why he only returned now was because he had been waiting for news about his sister. Unfortunately, he waited for a long time and still had no results.
The palace servants in my sister's palace were stunned. Liu Xuanzhi suspected that someone was colluding with the harem and deliberately blocked the news.
As the Minister of Household Affairs, Liu Yuanqing had no right to interfere with the Ministry of Justice's determination of the case.
But the person who was arrested was his younger brother. How could Liu Yuanqing sit still?
Liu Yuanqing was still anxious and troubled, so the housekeeper reported that Mrs. Liu was visiting.
The father and son looked at each other, and Liu Xuanzhi bowed his hands and said, "Father, let mother go. We can understand aunt's mood now. You can come up with something. I will go to mother to inform her. Mother knows what to do."
Liu Yuanqing was very happy to have such a beloved son.
After patting his son on the shoulder, Liu Yuanqing arranged for someone to deliver a letter to the Minister of Punishment.
Regardless of whether he can be saved or not, he must at least do a good job on the surface so that others cannot catch his fault.
The relationship between the two brothers is not good, at least Liu Yuanqing needs this younger brother to do things for him.
In the officialdom, there are certain things that Liu Yuanqing needs to help him.
With the help of his younger brother, Liu Yuanqing solved a lot of troubles. Now that his younger brother is in trouble, Liu Yuanqing will not stand idly by.
Zhen Guo Gongfu.
Contrary to the gloomy atmosphere of the Liu family, Bai Xingzhou wanted the whole world to celebrate his daughter.
The father and daughter worked hard to turn around Bai Qingzhi's reputation, and broke off the engagement with the Liu family. Bai Xingzhou could sleep peacefully.
"Hang it here, hang one there, and buy a few pots of peonies tomorrow. Peonies are noble, and our government should add some nobility to the palace."
The butler directed his men to hang up the lanterns.
For such a happy event, it is natural to hang up lanterns and give the house a new atmosphere.
With his hands behind his back, Bai Xingzhou walked slowly around the yard, making a few remarks at any time to let his servants decorate the mansion.
Today is different from the past. He is back and there is a happy event in the house. Bai Xingzhou wants everyone to add to the joy.
"Dad," Bai Qingzhi trotted all the way to Bai Xingzhou's side, took Bai Xingzhou's arm and said coquettishly, "There's no need to spend so much money. A few days ago I..."
"You mean this bracelet?" Bai Xingzhou took the bracelet out of his sleeve. It was the jade bracelet that was taken to the pawn shop to be pawned.
Pawn shops don't dare to accept royal things.
If you collect it and can't get it out, you might as well hand it over.
It was just a bracelet, but Bai Xingzhou was not afraid of it being exposed. What he was afraid of was the palace's blame. Feishuang had just left, and Bai Xingzhou entered the pawn shop.
"Dad, I was wrong."
He was sincere in admitting his mistake and Bai Xingzhou did not care about it.
There is no need to worry about these mistakes between father and daughter.
Any step in the plan may go wrong. My daughter took the bracelet to the pawn shop just to create public opinion.
Now that the situation in the capital has reversed, Bai Xingzhou will start looking for a son-in-law.
On the Nanhuai side, they hope that their son-in-law will be from Nanhuai, hoping to continue the Nanhuai royal bloodline.
However, his wife has been dead for many years. Apart from paying homage and sweeping the grave every year, Bai Xingzhou does not want his daughter to interact with Nan Huai, so as not to cause too much sadness.
The child has never interacted with Nanhuai since she was a child. Now that she is asked to go back to Nanhuai, Bai Xingzhou is afraid that her daughter will not be accustomed to life.
Compared with the Yuan Kingdom, the weather in Nanhuai is hot and not as pleasant as the Yuan Kingdom. She is not familiar with the place and except for her uncle's family, who else can her daughter rely on when she arrives in Nanhuai?
In Yuan Kingdom, at least I have him to protect me.
Nuo Da's Zhenguo Palace is her backer.
"In June, your uncle said that he will come to Yuan Kingdom to live for half a month. Then you must get along well with your cousin, and don't do what you did before."
Cousin? Bai Qingzhi rolled her eyes, and the system started to educate Bai Qingzhi about this person in her mind.
Bai Qingzhi's mother is the princess of Nanhuai County, and her uncle is a member of the Nanhuai royal family.
A member of the royal family who can leave Nanhuai at will is probably an idle prince who does not have much real power in his hands.
Or have no rights at all.
[Host, this cousin is someone you can win over. Although my uncle has no power, the heirs of the Nanhuai royal family are withering now, and none of his sons are qualified to be emperor]
Judging from the bloodline, my cousin is of Nanhuai royal blood, and his father is a prince, so he does have a chance to ascend to the throne.
"I know, I will treat him well and won't bully him." Bai Qingzhi was too happy to catch up with her about hugging her thighs. How could she bully others?
After receiving his daughter's affirmative answer, Bai Xingzhou ordered the kitchen to prepare lunch. He would take his daughter out of the city in the afternoon.
Although the destination was not mentioned, Bai Qingzhi immediately understood that today was the key because of her system.
Wei Jiayu's coffin has been returned to the capital. Because it had been kept in Wutou Mountain for a long time, Wei Changyuan had to invite eminent monks to liberate his sister.
The father and daughter's destination today is the temple where the eminent monk practices.
The temple is located outside the capital, southwest.
The carriage arrived outside the temple in a swaying manner. The next section required walking. Bai Xingzhou broke off a branch for his daughter. The mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk to avoid falling injuries.
The carriage stopped halfway up the mountain. It was not impossible for anyone to ride up the steep hillside. One had to have both skill and luck. Otherwise, if one rolled down the cliff, his life would be lost and no one would know.
"Dad, what are we doing here? If we want to drink tea and talk, why don't we come over tomorrow?" There is plenty of time, and drinking ten pots is not a problem.
There are mostly vegetarian dishes in the temple, but Bai Qingzhi is really greedy. She is afraid that Bai Xingzhou will not stay overnight and she won't be able to eat what she wants.
"Go and talk to the abbot about something. There is a study in the temple. Someone will show you the way later. You can stay there and read. We will leave after we finish talking about the matter."
It seemed that they were not going to stay overnight. Bai Qingzhi was thinking about the vegetarian dishes, and her stomach growled twice symbolically.
The temple is hidden in a deep mountain, and there are not many pilgrims. Perhaps it is because of the strong sun in the afternoon. When the monk saw a visitor, he clasped his hands and asked why.
After announcing himself to his home, Bai Xingzhou presented the greeting card. The monk ordered a disciple to lead the father and daughter to a side room to rest.
The abbot is not an ordinary monk. If you want to have a heart-to-heart talk with the abbot, you need a greeting card.
The monk returned soon, and Bai Xingzhou followed him away. The monk took Bai Qingzhi to the study, saying that it was arranged by the Duke of Zhen.
I can't eat vegetarian food, so I can only read books.
Bai Qingzhi picked a book at random and sat cross-legged.
Birds were chirping outside the window, and Bai Qingzhi couldn't calm down at all. She was thinking about vegetarian dishes. She ate one less chicken drumstick at noon, and now she is hungry.
It's impossible to have chicken legs, and I don't know if there's anything delicious in the temple kitchen. I might as well dig some wild vegetables to satisfy my craving.
