Li Xiuzhu was a little disappointed with Su Chengcheng. Although it is virtue for a woman to have no talent, this is somewhat silly.
"First, you can want to know and ask, but you can't question."
"First of all, we are our own people and a family."
"Second, you can spot that woman's lies if you think about it carefully, but you were led by the nose the whole time."
"Even if you really don't understand, you can ask us first instead of making subjective assumptions."
Su Chengcheng looked at Li Xiuzhu blankly, then looked at his mother and asked, "Did she lie?"
Suru put a hand on her forehead and sighed: "Cheng Cheng, didn't you notice?"
"The woman named Mingyue said that she and Xiuzhu had a private life plan a year ago, but when they met her in person, they didn't recognize Xiuzhu."
Yes, just for this point, Nalan Mingyue's lies are self-defeating.
At this moment, Su Chengcheng suddenly realized that he had wronged Li Xiuzhu, and he felt guilty in his heart.
"I'm sorry, brother Xiuzhu, I was wrong."
"Yeah." Li Xiuzhu didn't comfort him, just responded and continued: "Think about it carefully, what are you going to do if I really do this?"
"If you can't stand by me unconditionally, you should just be my sister."
Su Chengcheng felt extremely uncomfortable at this moment, but he did not refute.
Anyway, it was a foregone conclusion, so she started to think about it.
When the carriage arrived at the Marquis Mansion, Li Xiuzhu did not rush to take anyone in. Instead, he told Old Ma: "Old Ma, go to the city gate and see whose carriage has entered in front of our carriage."
"Go ahead and check three to five cars."
Lao Ma also heard what Li Xiuzhu said just now, although he didn't really hear it.
So although Lao Ma didn't understand, he still nodded in agreement.
"Yes, uncle, I'll go check it out right now."
Li Xiuzhu then looked at Suru and Su Chengcheng.
"Let's go in."
When Su Chengcheng heard this, he suddenly said: "Brother Xiuzhu."
"Um?"
Su Chengcheng raised his head, looked at Li Xiuzhu seriously and said, "Brother Xiuzhu, I have thought clearly, Cheng Cheng is indeed wrong."
"From my brother's perspective, I can't stand it if the person I love and love the most doubts me."
"And even if I did something wrong, I still want the people who love me to stand by my side, instead of standing on the other side's side and hurting me."
"First help the relatives and then help with the care. This is the feeling of home."
Li Xiuzhu nodded happily.
"Go in, Yunshuang, Baguio, Nongyue and Yuehua are waiting for you."
The former of these four people had a good relationship with Su Chengcheng, and the latter also shook hands with Su Chengcheng and got along well.
"Uh-huh!"
As soon as the three of them entered the yard, Fu Yunshuang and the others saw the three of them in the front yard.
Yunshuang: "Sister Cheng Cheng, are you okay?"
Nong Yue: "Cheng Cheng, welcome home."
Baguio: “I’m slimmer and look better.”
Fu Yuehua: "This will be your home from now on."
Although the other women did not speak, they all nodded in greeting.
At this moment, Su Chengcheng felt unprecedented warmth.
Li Xiuzhu looked at it and smiled: "Why are we all in the front yard? What if we can't come back today?"
Fu Yunshuang smiled when he heard this.
"We all feel that my brother-in-law will come back, and we are not just waiting, we are playing cards."
"It's better to fight than to fight here. I can see Sister Cheng Cheng earlier here."
"By the way, brother-in-law and sister Cheng Cheng, you haven't eaten yet. I've asked someone to reserve the ingredients and you can eat them right away."
Hearing this, Li Xiuzhu joked: "Yun Shuang is really becoming more and more like a housekeeper."
"Don't mention it. We set out early in the morning and it's been three hours and I'm still really hungry."
At the same time, the imperial study room
The imperial study room was a bit lively at this time. Not only was the prince there, but also three of the six ministers, plus the prime minister Fu Wenhan, and Lieutenant Gao.
"The envoy from Silla arrived in Beijing half an hour ago."
"According to the spies' report, my princess is also here. What do you think of this matter?"
Several people looked at each other, and Fu Wenhan thought for a while and said first: "It seems that Silla is not just a simple surrender, otherwise a princess should not be allowed to come."
At this time, Tian Yi, the Minister of War, shook his head, stepped forward and said, "According to the spies' report, we have killed all three adult princes of the King of Silla, and the only surviving youngest son is under ten years old."
"Accepting surrender is a big event, but the words of the envoy are not enough to reflect the dignity, so it is normal for the princess to come."
Sun Jingyang, the Minister of Rites, stepped forward and said: "Master Tian's analysis is reasonable, but we must also make other preparations."
"If the other party wants to marry, who should they choose for marriage, your Majesty or the prince?"
"How much should the bride price be given and how should it be given?"
"Everyone knows that Silla is experiencing natural and man-made disasters, and what they want is certainly not small, so I feel that the possibility of marriage is very high."
Li Kuo nodded after hearing this.
"Then let's just assume that the other party is planning to get married, so that we can be prepared."
"Prince, do you think we should get married?"
After hearing this, Li Chengze took a step forward and said calmly: "My son feels that the marriage depends on whether the father intends to keep Silla."
Li Kuo's expression changed, and he was very satisfied with this answer.
"Oh, tell me what you think."
Li Chengze was not stupid at all. As the emperor's successor, he was qualified in everything except Lord Rabbit. Hearing this, he said: "Silla is just hanging on to its last breath."
"At this time, Silla was less than half of its heyday, and it was even still under the shadow of natural disasters."
"Perhaps your lords are a little dissatisfied. You think that if Silla has killed nearly two-thirds of its people and captured them, it will definitely be able to have enough food."
"But this is not the case. When we captured the Silla women, we burned all the food and grass that could be burned, and the cattle and sheep were also driven back."
"Silla's local area is pretty much the same, not to mention the meager supply of food and supplies. In their base camp, food supplies are not abundant."
"Secondly, although our army attacked the Silla King's Castle, it did not suffer any losses near the King's Castle."
"So they must still be in difficulty now, and it's a disaster year."
"If my father doesn't want to keep Silla, then refuse to marry, refuse to surrender, and capture Silla in the spring."
"Father, this is all I have in mind."
Li Kuo nodded with satisfaction and said, "What you said is right, but it's not that comprehensive."
"Taking Silla may not be as easy as we think."
"As the saying goes, a sad soldier must win. Your brother-in-law, Champion Hou Yi, fought too hard and was absolutely unstoppable."
"If we attack Silla again, they will think that we don't want male prisoners, but only kill and conquer."
"If we can capture Silla by then, there will definitely be a lot of casualties. I'm afraid there will be unusual movements around Da Zhou."
As he spoke, Li Kuo looked at the ministers below and asked, "What do you think?"
Fu Wenhan heard this and said: "Your Majesty is wise, and the prince's analysis is also very accurate."
