Liu Xiang raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Muheng in surprise.

This man really dares to say it.

"Young man, if you are overconfident, you are arrogant." Liu Xiang looked at Xiao Muheng with a stern face and said.

Xiao Muheng raised his lips and smiled: "In front of the Prime Minister, students dare not be conceited. They just want to be the Prime Minister's right-hand man."

Being the right-hand man of the chief official is not something you can do just by staying in the Hanlin Academy.

Xiao Muheng made no secret of his ambition, because he knew what Liu Xiang wanted.

He has family assets and a promising future. At the moment, he is not as good as those young men from aristocratic families. However, Xiao Muheng thinks that he has a bright future and is just short of a chance to soar into the sky. Previously, he made friends with young men from aristocratic families because he wanted to follow their father's path, but because of

An unexpected meal caused them to hold a grudge.

He has money, but no power. He has been struggling in the capital for the past few months, and if he wants to get ahead, he can only wait until Qiu Wei.

But there are so many students in the world, and if there is no one in the court, even if he is among the top three, he will only be able to spend his whole life in the Hanlin Academy. He does not want to waste this good time.

From Liu Anyao's accident to today, Xiao Muheng thought about it alone at home for a long time before making this decision.

A few days ago, it was based on the attitude of the Liu family. If Liu Anyao was an abandoned son, a decision would be made on Liu Anyao on the second day after the incident. He would either die to save his reputation or be sent to become a monk. But after so many days, Liu Anyao

Still at Liu's house.

Xiao Muheng knew that his opportunity had come.

As long as Prime Minister Liu does not give up Liu Anyao easily, then Liu Anyao will be of great value to him, and by marrying Liu Anyao, whose reputation has been damaged, he is preserving the reputation of the prime minister's house, and Prime Minister Liu will look upon him with special regard.

As for Liu Anyao's current reputation in the capital...

Xiao Muheng tried hard to suppress the disgust in his heart and pretended that he didn't care. When the day comes when he holds great power, no one will dare to make irresponsible remarks behind his back.

In the past, Prime Minister Liu would have looked down upon a son-in-law like him.

Mrs. Liu looked at the handsome young man in front of her, her eyes shining as if she had seen golden pimples. Regardless of whether he was confident or arrogant, it was good if he was willing to marry her daughter to avoid the pain of becoming a monk.

"Master Xiang, why are you hesitating? Just agree."

As long as Yao'er is still the daughter of the prime minister, he will definitely treat Yao'er well in order to firmly climb the big tree of the prime minister.

Liu Xiang glared at Mrs. Liu: "You are the only one who talks too much."

But in my heart, I was also satisfied with Xiao Muheng.

This person knows exactly what he wants, and it is easier for Liu Xiang to use such a person.

"Okay, pick an auspicious day and come and make the appointment." Liu Xiang hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Xiao Muheng's face was filled with joy, and he saluted Mr. Liu and Madam Liu: "Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister and Madam, for your support. Please rest assured that I will not let Ms. Liu suffer any injustice."

Mrs. Liu covered her mouth and smiled softly: "You still call me madam?"

"Mother-in-law." Xiao Muheng immediately called Shanruliu.

"Eh!"

Mrs. Liu looked at Xiao Muzheng, feeling as if her mother-in-law liked her son-in-law more and more the more she looked at him.

Then Xiao Muheng looked at Liu Xiang again: "Father-in-law."

Liu Xiang nodded slightly: "Yes."

His wife cried, made fuss, and hanged herself, unwilling to let her daughter become a monk, so the result was the best of both worlds.

Liu Xiang doesn't care if he loses a daughter, but if he can use his daughter to attract useful people to him, Liu Xiang will naturally not push it out.

After the marriage was finalized, Xiao Muheng said goodbye and left.

Mrs. Liu swept away the previous gloom and stood up to tell her daughter the good news. Before leaving, she did not forget to turn around and tell Prime Minister Liu to be nicer to Xiao Muheng in the future and not to embarrass him.

Liu Xiang waved to Mrs. Liu with an ugly expression.

Go now, you.

Mrs. Liu doesn't care whether Prime Minister Liu has a good or bad attitude towards her. After so many years of marriage, she just needs that the Prime Minister can't leave her no matter what happens. After all, she has Concubine Shu behind her.

"Yao'er, Yao'er..."

Mrs. Liu's brisk voice sounded outside the house, and a flash of anger flashed across Liu Anyao's pretty face, and she kicked down the stool next to her. When Mrs. Liu came in, Liu Anyao said with an angry face: "Mom, you can't wait to

I’m going to die, right? You all can’t see me well, so I’ll just die.”

Mrs. Liu immediately hugged her daughter with heartache: "What nonsense are you talking about? Mom, you are the only daughter. If you die, you will take advantage of those little bitches in the house."

"Then you can still laugh?" These days have been a nightmare in her life. She wants to eat Lu Xiang's flesh, drink Lu Xiang's blood, skin her and cramp her to relieve the hatred in her heart.

Mrs. Liu glanced at the maid serving in the room: "You all get out."

"yes."

Then she pulled Liu Anyao to sit down and coaxed patiently: "Mom, I'm glad that your marriage is settled and you don't have to go to the nunnery to become a monk and suffer."

Liu Anyao was startled and looked at Mrs. Liu in astonishment: "Marriage? You and dad wouldn't just find someone to marry me off, right?"

She was clearly supposed to be married to the Duke Sun, but now she was living in such a state that she could only find someone to marry at random?

Mrs. Liu knew Liu Anyao's worries and hurriedly said: "My family background is a bit different, but the Xiao family has a large business and can be considered a wealthy family..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Anyao jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on: "Businessman? Mother, you actually want me to marry a businessman. I won't marry, I won't marry."

How could a lowly businessman deserve the daughter of her prime minister?

Liu Anyao was so angry that she felt like a fire was burning in her chest.

Mrs. Liu pulled her to sit down: "Listen to what mother has said. Although he is a businessman, he has a reputation and is preparing to participate in this year's Autumn Festival. He does not want to join your father's family, so he came to propose marriage to your father.

It can be seen that he is a man with

Those who are truly talented and learned will definitely pass the imperial examination this time. With your father behind you to protect them, they will definitely be able to rise all the way up. Your status is a bit low now, but in the long run, you will be able to become a first-class wife.

It's possible."

"The young master of the aristocratic family may sound nice now, but he may not have real ability. Mom, to put it bluntly, with the current situation, if the Liu family uses power to force people, even if they allow you to marry into a high family as you wish, you will still be looked down upon and punished after you enter."

People ridicule but

Life is hard for Xiao Muheng. As long as you are the daughter of the Prime Minister, he will not treat you badly in order to rely on your father. When the time comes, you will be the master of the house. With the Liu family as your backing, no one will dare to take it lightly.

Look at you."

Liu Anyao was silent. Although her expression was extremely ugly, she obviously listened to Mrs. Liu's words.

After a while, she asked: "Does he mind if my innocence is ruined by Lu Xiang's scheme?"

"Since he came to ask for marriage, he must have thought clearly. What's more, when you get married, he will know that you are still innocent. He himself also said that you were being plotted. Maybe he guessed the inside story.

At this time, he dares to ask you to marry him without fear of rumors. No matter what his purpose is, my mother will think that he is a responsible person.

Yaoer, if you marry him, you will still be the direct daughter of the prime minister's house, with a noble status, and you will be able to live a smooth life even if you get married. Even if rumors spread again, as long as you are stable, you will always turn around. But if you don't
