Chapter 146 The Marriage Letter Appears (Nine)
While Yu Zhi was drinking wine and eating roast leg of lamb at the Prince's Mansion, Wen Jiuxiao was copying hard in the Northeast Camp. After finally copying the cut paper, he went to find Yu Zhi, but she was nowhere to be seen.
Only Yu Guangxian was sitting in the room alone.
"I have met my father-in-law." Wen Jiuxiao saluted respectfully.
Yu Guangxian, who was smiling and pouring himself a drink, faded the smile on his face, "If you are not a relative or a friend, please don't shout nonsense, Mr. Xiaowen."
Wen Jiuxiao still insisted on finishing the ceremony and stood aside, saying: "As long as my father-in-law nods, my son-in-law will invite someone to come to propose marriage tomorrow."
As for who to invite, he had already thought about it. Isn't the Fifth Prince a ready-made candidate? There is no one in the entire Northeast who is more valuable than him.
"What if I don't nod?" Yu Guangxian poured himself another glass of wine and held it in his hand without drinking.
Wen Jiuxiao was silent and said, "My son-in-law is sincere to Zhizhi. I ask my father-in-law to make it happen."
"What if I don't succeed?" Yu Guangxian looked at Wen Jiuxiao, no matter how he looked at him, he didn't like it. This brat was cold even when asking for help, and wouldn't even say a word of softening. He didn't even wink. Didn't you see that he was drinking? Want to marry him?
My daughter, you should pour the wine!
"Also, are you the one who called me Zhizhi? Mr. Xiaowen, you should know how harsh this world is to women, so don't ruin her reputation."
Wen Jiuxiao was silent again. He had dealt with murderers and suspects a lot. He really didn't know how to deal with his father-in-law. As for pleasing his father-in-law, he felt that he might not be good at it.
"I beg your father-in-law for your blessing. My son-in-law will definitely treat Zhizhi and Zhouzhou well in the future." Wen Jiuxiao said sincerely and gave another gift.
Yu Guangxian glanced at him sideways, and this time he used the word "Qiu", which was an improvement. However, who doesn't know how to say nice things? The key is whether he can do it. Yu Guangxian believed that what he said at this moment was true, and for Zhizhi's
The emotions are real, but Wu'anhou Mansion is too complicated.
The prince is weak and has only one daughter. If he never has a son, the inheritance of Wu'an Hou's house will be a dispute. Wu'an Hou also favors the concubine. Although Wen Jiuxiao, the legitimate second son, is young and promising, Yu Guangxian still doesn't want to
The daughter is involved in the quagmire of the family.
His Zhi Zhi is smart, but she is too upright, and she lived a simple life before. How could she have seen the tricks of women in the backyards of wealthy families? They all look weak, but their hearts are crueler than anyone else. It’s not that he looks down on his own daughter.
, Zhizhi is really no match for them.
Zhizhi... Thinking of his daughter who had never lived a good life since she was a child, Yu Guangxian suddenly sighed.
If we talk about people alone, Master Xiaowen and Zhi Zhiduo are a perfect couple. They also have a child named Zhouzhou. How happy will be the life of a family of three?
But Mr. Xiaowen was born into a noble family and had parents. How did Zhizhi end up living outside in the first place? Wasn't it because he was not from the right family? Didn't the Marquis think that Zhizhi was from a lowly family?
"You asked me to grant you permission, but have you ever thought about your family? No matter what the reasons are, in the eyes of outsiders, Zhi Zhi gave birth to a child out of wedlock. She claimed to be a widow to protect Zhou Zhou.
"Zhizhi is my daughter, and I don't dislike her. But what about your family? Can your parents allow such a Zhizhi to enter the house? If this matter is revealed after you get married, it will be a stain on you and be criticized by your political opponents. You
Can you protect Zhizhi, mother and son? Will you regret it?"
"Yes! I can!" Wen Jiuxiao replied without hesitation, "Zhizhi is my son-in-law's wife, she is not a stain on me. As for my son-in-law's parents, they can decide on their own marriage, and they will agree.
"
"Young man, think carefully before speaking, and don't be so impulsive." Yu Guangxian smiled and did not take his words seriously.
"My son-in-law has thought about it very clearly. He has been thinking about it for five years." Wen Jiuxiao said the last sentence very softly, but it still fell into Yu Guangxian's ears. He raised his eyebrows, wondering whether it was okay or not.
Then he heard Jiuxiao say again: "Zhizhi is not an unmarried son, Zhouzhou is a legitimate son, the eldest son of my son-in-law Zhenger Ba Jing."
"Oh?" Yu Guangxian was surprised, "What do you mean?"
Wen Jiuxiao glanced at him, turned around and shouted: "Qingfeng."
Qingfeng, who had been waiting outside for a long time, immediately came in and said, "Third Master, what you want." He respectfully presented the brocade box he held in his hand, and then respectfully asked Yu Guangxian for his blessing before retreating.
Yu Guangxian stared at the brocade box in Wen Jiuxiao's hand. He opened the brocade box, took out something and handed it to him, "Father-in-law, please take a look."
Yu Guangxian took it suspiciously, unfolded it and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Marriage certificate?! You and Zhizhi... are they fake?"
Yu Guangxian's first reaction was that the marriage certificate was faked by Wen Jiuxiao. How else could he explain it?
"Really! There is a government seal. Father-in-law, look carefully. If you don't believe it, you can go to Jingzhao Mansion to check."
Yu Guangxian stared carefully and saw that the marriage certificate was indeed stamped with the seal of the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen, and the date was exactly five years ago.
"So, you and Zhizhi were married five years ago? So..." So he is his serious daughter-in-law?
Yu Guangxian still didn't believe it. Zhizhi would not lie to him, but the marriage certificate was true. Yu Guangxian thought of another possibility, "Zhizhi...Does Zhizhi know about the marriage certificate?"
Wen Jiuxiao shook his head, "She doesn't know. My son-in-law hasn't found the right opportunity to tell her yet."
Wen Jiuxiao looked calm, but Yu Guangxian looked at him with very complicated emotions. Five years ago... that is to say, after Zhizhi fell off the cliff, he married Zhizhi when everyone thought Zhizhi was dead!
If Zhizhi was not his daughter, Yu Guangxian would have said Wen Jiuxiao was stupid! But this young man was stupid because of his daughter, and Yu Guangxian could not say a word.
He looked at Wen Jiuxiao who was kneeling on the ground begging him to grant her permission. What could he do? "Get up first. I'll think about it." He also had to ask Zhizhi what he meant. He was also afraid that his daughter would miss her lover.
Wen Jiuxiao's face flashed with joy, and she felt relieved. Although she didn't agree directly, she just wanted to consider it. Didn't Zhizhi also say she would consider it before? Didn't she agree later?
When Yu Guangxian saw the joy on Wen Jiuxiao's face, he suddenly felt that it was very annoying. If Zhizhi really married this brat, wouldn't his eldest grandson be gone? The legacy of Lao Yu's family...
Yu Guangxian felt uncomfortable in his heart. Whenever he was unhappy, he would drag Wen Jiuxiao to drink.
Do you dare not drink the wine that your father-in-law asked you to drink? Even though Wen Jiuxiao had a good capacity for drinking, he got drunk in the end.
The drunk Wen Jiuxiao didn't act like a drunkard. He pulled Yu Guangxian's sleeve and kept shouting, "Zhizhi, Zhizhi!"
Yu Guangxian's face turned dark. It took a lot of effort for Qingfeng to pry his third master's hand away, but he didn't even dare to look at Yu Guangxian's face.
Hey, my third master! You have offended my father-in-law terribly. I hope you won’t regret it when you wake up tomorrow.
