After an unknown amount of time, Mei Min, who was sad and desperate, raised her head and asked in disbelief: "Can I only choose between Li Jin and Gao Xian?"
Mrs. Li looked at her daughter who still refused to give up, and really wanted to slap her twice. But when she saw the dark blue under her daughter's eyes and her listless look, she knew that she had suffered enough.
.
So she said calmly: "Yes."
Mei Min lowered her head, remained silent, clenched her fists and said, "What will happen to Li Jin?"
Mrs. Li's brows moved slightly, and she couldn't help but think of the cute way her nephew threw himself into her arms when he was a child. At that time, she had a good relationship with her sister-in-law, and she often took the children to play together.
However, as the husband's official position rose, his mother's family asked the upright husband to do things. When the husband was unwilling, their relationship gradually became estranged.
In those years, it was not that she was not sad, but when she thought that family relationships were based on interests first, she felt that it was okay not to.
In this way, the relationship between her and her relatives once reached the point where they could no longer even see each other.
But no matter who hurt her daughter, she would never let it go.
Mrs. Li took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and said seriously: "If you choose to marry Li Jin, then he will live in the shadow of the power of our Mei family for the rest of his life. I will let him know that without you, the Li family will never be the same."
Everything will disappear, including his life!"
"If you choose Gao Xian, then Gao Xian will kill him, and my mother will act like she doesn't know anything, let alone let anyone in the Li family know."
Mei Min was slightly taken aback. She didn't expect that her mother would be willing to do so for her.
In the dark, she seemed to feel a deep regret, that she knew it was too late.
If it could have been earlier, even earlier... maybe everything would be different.
It's a pity... Destiny never gives people a chance to make a new choice. This is the cruel reality.
Mei Min lowered her head and said resignedly: "I choose to marry Gao Xian."
"But... I don't want to talk about that."
Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her daughter had made the right choice. She pursed her lips and said, "It doesn't matter, mother will tell you."
"Don't worry, mother will not let Gao Xian look down on you. If he really dares, your father and I will tear him down from his current position even if we fight to the death."
Mei Min's expression moved slightly, and she asked doubtfully: "I heard from the maids that the emperor asked him to replace Lu Yunhong's position? Didn't his father also instigate him?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Li sneered: "I'm just helping with government affairs. What's his replacement? What should he replace? Lu Yunhong married Wang Xiu, the legitimate daughter of the Wang family, the emperor's junior sister, and the eldest princess's handkerchief."
"You have to remember that one day Lu Yunhong loses to Wang Xiu. Even if he is in a high position, he will be surrounded by enemies on all sides."
"Not to mention, now Gao Xian, he hasn't gained all your father's connections and power, how dare he be frivolous?"
Mei Min looked at her mother's serious expression and nodded in understanding. She was actually a little confused. She hoped that after marrying Gao Xian, Gao Xian would soar into the sky and completely suppress Lu Yunhong, and prevent Lu Yunhong from being involved with the Wang family.
Have a chance to see her jokes.
But she knew very well in her heart that Gao Xian couldn't do it. Not only his ability, but also the power he had now could not be compared with Lu Yunhong.
In fact, whether Gao Xian marries him or not, it cannot change the fact that he is a member of the Mei family. Marrying her will only make this matter more and more natural.
But now, she can only marry Gao Xian, because he is the only one who doesn't seem to insult her status.
"Mom, please settle this matter as soon as possible. I'm a little scared." Mei Min said in a panic.
Mrs. Li knew that her daughter was frightened, so she patted her hand and said: "Don't be afraid, Gao Xian has come to see your father today, and he will definitely take the opportunity to mention your marriage to him. When your father comes to ask me,
I just go with the flow."
There was a little light in Mei Min's eyes, and she asked: "Is it true?"
In order to reassure her daughter, Mrs. Li said confidently: "Of course."
Finally, Mei Min felt relieved and murmured: "That's good."
Mrs. Li seemed to sigh when she saw this, and looked at her daughter with eyes full of pity.
At the same time, I hate Li Jin very much. If it weren't for him, how could my daughter become like this?
This revenge must be avenged, but the top priority, as my daughter said, is to settle her marriage with Gao Xian as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Li immediately went to find her husband.
But when her husband saw her coming, he didn't say anything, he just kept exaggerating his filial piety.
Mrs. Li became impatient and asked, "He didn't mention his marriage to Xiao Min?"
Hearing this, Taishi Mei showed a little embarrassment on his face, and even said angrily: "How many times did Gao Xian ask for help, but you didn't agree. Now that he doesn't speak up, you are anxious instead?"
Mrs. Li also said angrily: "What do you know? I just went to see Xiao Min and she agreed to the marriage."
Master Mei was immediately surprised and said, "Really?"
Mrs. Li said: "This is still false. It's not like you don't know your daughter. How rare this is. I'm afraid she will regret it!"
Master Mei immediately said happily: "This is great, I will tell Gao Xian when he comes."
Mrs. Li said: "You'd better wait for him to come out of the palace and call him over. Make a decision about the marriage first to avoid any unexpected changes."
Master Mei nodded and said happily: "That's fine, that's fine."
Mrs. Li was relieved when her husband agreed. No matter how capable Gao Xian was, it was all taught by her husband. She did not believe that her husband could not persuade Gao Xian.
…
In the suburbs, Xu Xiao was shocked when he received the news from the capital.
He was wondering whether to tell Lu Yunhong that the emperor asked Gao Xian to help him handle his government affairs.
Just when he was hesitant and worried and walked out, Yao Yu happened to come in. Seeing him like this, she asked, "What's the matter?"
After hearing this, Xu Xiao told Yao Yu what happened in the capital.
Hearing this, Yao Yu said directly: "What kind of big deal is this? Mr. Lu is probably hoping that someone will take his seat, right?"
Xu Xiao was suddenly enlightened and suddenly laughed and said: "I am really obsessed with this. I am actually worried that Mr. Lu will feel depressed."
Yao Yu said: "He is disappointed because Mrs. Lu ignored him. What does this mean?"
"Go quickly, maybe he will be so happy that he wants to give us extra food as soon as you finish talking."
Xu Xiao thought, could it be like this?
With a curious attitude, he told Lu Yunhong the whole thing.
As a result, Lu Yunhong immediately said: "This is great, we can play for another half month before going back."
"Go down and tell them that we will cook roast chicken tonight and prepare some good wine. I want to have a good time."
At the end, he said regretfully: "Oh, really, why didn't the emperor give him my position as well?"
Xu Xiao: "..."
By the way, since when did Yao Yu know Lu Yunhong better than him?
