Gao Xian came to see his daughter, and what he saw was Wang Xiu talking and laughing with the eldest princess, making his daughter happy. He thought he could leave with peace of mind.
Gao Xian lifted his robe, kowtowed three times to the eldest princess and Wang Xiu on the spot, and said very sincerely: "My little girl has been healed by Mrs. Lu, and the eldest princess has shown her love. Gao Xian has nothing to repay, so I will kowtow to you two."
Wang Xiu quickly asked his servants to help Gao Xian up. Seeing that he had already changed his clothes, he said, "Master Gao is too polite. Are you going back to Beijing?"
Gao Xian nodded and said: "I was in a hurry when I left the capital. Many errands have not been handed over yet, so I need to go back quickly. My little girl has Mrs. Lu to take good care of her, so I don't have any worries anymore."
"When she gets better, I will come and pick her up as soon as possible."
Wang Xiudao: "That's not a hurry. If Mr. Gao is busy, then we will keep you."
"But you are leaving, do others know?"
Gao Xian said: "I will go and say goodbye to the prince, the consort, and Mr. Lu later."
Wang Xiudao: "Senior Gao, please chat with me while I take your highness out for a walk."
Hearing this, Gao Xian quickly turned aside and sent them out.
Before they had gone far, they heard the little girl shout: "Daddy..."
Her voice is waxy and her tone is soft and charming, which shows that she is usually doted on by Gao Xian.
In this way, if her mother was still alive, this would surely be an enviable family of three.
Wang Xiuzheng was thinking this, but after leaving the second door, he unexpectedly heard the eldest princess sighing: "Gao Xian and his first wife can be considered childhood sweethearts. They got married when they were teenagers. Unfortunately... Gao Xian doesn't seem to like her very much."
?”
Wang Xiu was surprised and said: "How did your Highness know?"
The eldest princess said: "A lot of news will naturally come from someone. I didn't pay attention to it before, because Gao Xian is not eye-catching."
"It wasn't until I heard his daughter calling him that I remembered that Gao Xian's first wife had proposed divorce, but Gao Xian did not agree."
"As time went by, the woman became depressed and became ill, so she passed away."
"Poor little girl, she didn't know anything at that time."
Wang Xiu felt that the news was too negative, so she said to the eldest princess: "Then Princess Yanyang..."
The eldest princess shook her head and said calmly: "I will ask someone to investigate and tell her the truth, lest she think I am blocking her."
Wang Xiu nodded, thinking this would be the best. When the time comes, it would be more reasonable and well-founded, and it would be easier to speak.
But she suddenly remembered that Gao Xian had always wanted to marry Mei Min. She wondered if there was any connection. If so, Gao Xian would be too terrible.
He dragged his first wife to death and wanted to marry the junior sister he longed for.
Wang Xiu grabbed the eldest princess's hand in the next moment, but heard the eldest princess say: "Why, are you afraid?"
Wang Xiu slowly let go and shook her head. She said, "I just remembered something. I don't know if it is related?"
The eldest princess said: "I know what you are thinking? Probably not. The person who treated Mrs. Gao Xian at that time was the imperial physician. After all, he was born as a scholar and would not leave such a big clue to others."
"But a woman cannot get the pity of her husband, and the daughter she gives birth to is weak. As time goes by..."
Wang Xiu added: "The most important thing is that she knows that her husband has another woman in his heart, and that woman is strong and domineering, and her temperament in private is not good, so she is worried."
In particular, Mei Min's sharp and extreme temperament was gradually exposed, and Gao Xian must have been disappointed as well.
"Why……"
"If Gao Xian had known what kind of person Mei Min was, he might not have treated his wife like that."
"If his wife didn't have those worries, she would have lived longer."
"pity……"
The eldest princess said: "If you don't like her, you won't be happy even if you try hard. It's just that she pitied the child. I'm afraid Gao Xian feels mostly guilty about that girl."
Wang Xiu thought about it and thought it was right.
Of course, what is even more terrifying is that his first wife died to fulfill his love, just so that he could care more about his daughter? Or, maybe it made him feel that he owed his daughter, and gradually deepened his feelings for her over time, so that her daughter
He can judge who is truly suitable for him.
And that person may not be Mei Min.
Sure enough, many things cannot be dug deeply, otherwise it will be so foggy that everything will look like it is mixed with calculations.
Wang Xiu took the initiative to hold the eldest princess's arm and said deeply: "I know why you like Ji Yunwei, and you can't help yourself, right?"
The eldest princess smiled and did not refute. Instead, her eyes lit up and she said slightly arrogantly: "You are not stupid."
Wang Xiu: "Humph!"
The eldest princess smiled happily: "Humph, you are also very simple. Otherwise, why would Lu Yunhong like it?"
"People like them have seen through people's hearts and are tired of scheming. They want to get out of the quagmire. How can they do it without someone they trust to hold them back?"
Wang Xiudao: "I think Lu Yunhong would never have imagined that his assist was you, right? I want to love him so much now!"
The eldest princess couldn't help laughing and said happily: "Then I have to find a chance to talk to him and let him find a chance to thank me!"
Wang Xiu teased: "I advise you not to go. I'm afraid you don't know. It was he who first noticed that Ji Yunwei liked you, and I didn't even know?"
"Speaking of which, he is also an assist for you and Ji Yunwei!"
The eldest princess's face suddenly burned up. She thought of the wine that Ji Yunwei mentioned about thanking the matchmaker, and it seemed that Lu Yunhong hadn't drank it yet.
But it was so unkind of her to completely forget about it.
The eldest princess asked Wang Xiu: "I still owe Lu Yunhong a meal to thank the matchmaker. Tell me what good wine he likes to drink and what famous dishes he likes to eat. I will prepare them all for him."
Wang Xiu remembered that he got a solid golden arowana last time, and said happily: "No, let's just go to the village and eat whatever we have, and there's no need to be particular about what we drink?"
"Don't worry, I'll prepare everything for you, and I'll make sure he can't make any mistakes at all."
The eldest princess looked at Wang Xiu and said with a smile: "Then I will lend you three cents of color and give him a dyeing workshop."
"Anyway, you and your wife are the ones who benefited, so how can I thank you?"
Wang Xiu thought for a while, and suddenly saw that the hollow sachet worn by the eldest princess was exquisitely carved, so he took it in his hand and played with it: "This is good! I like it very much!"
The eldest princess took one look and said disgustedly: "That's it??"
Wang Xiu nodded: "It's hard to buy a piece of money to buy a good thing, that's it!"
After hearing this, the eldest princess didn't dislike it anymore, so she took it off and put it on for her.
Finally, he whispered in her ear: "I don't blame you for liking it. There is golden osmanthus in it, but there is something else."
Wang Xiu asked: "What else?"
The eldest princess hummed softly: "Mother Lu said that if a man smells it, he will like it very much."
"Tonight... I might be able to take advantage of your Lu Yunhong!"
After the eldest princess finished speaking, she smiled evilly and looked at Wang Xiu with a playful expression.
Wang Xiu, who instantly felt like he had stepped on a thunderbolt: "..."??
