During the time that Mr. Zhao was in Licheng, he did not hear for the first time that the daughter of the prime minister's family was engaged. Such a big event would definitely spread in the capital. How could there be no news at all? It was only before he came back that he heard that
This news. Of course, he was also worried that the person Yue'er was going to marry was His Highness King Mo.
Of course, there was no reason for his mother to lie to him. After all, his mother didn't know that he was coming back. Yue'er wanted to join the royal family, but in the end he failed. He thought His Highness King Mo would marry Yue'er as a concubine, but in the end, His Highness King Mo didn't.
Do this.
But before he left, he had already made a decision. No matter what Yue'er chose, it had nothing to do with him.
Because of his mother's dissuasion, he liked his cousin so much, but he could only stay by her side silently. He knew his cousin's wish, but he still hoped that his cousin would change his mind. He had done so many things, but his cousin didn't even look at him.
.At that time, he knew that he should no longer worry about his cousin.
His mother thought he went to Licheng to train himself because of his cousin. So, when he heard that his cousin was engaged, she was worried that she would be sad.
In fact, he had already given up after the Prime Minister's Mansion designed the girl next to his cousin.
He once wrote a letter to his cousin in Licheng. In the letter, he had told his cousin the truth, but he was worried whether his cousin would believe him.
After returning from a trip to Licheng, he didn't want to see his cousin as much as before. On the contrary, in the past few days, his mind was filled with the image of Miss Yun He. Mr. Zhao gave a bitter smile, knowing that even if he had this idea, An Linghou would not
Will agree.
However, Mrs. Zhao saw it and thought that Mr. Zhao's wry smile was because of Yue'er.
Therefore, Mrs. Zhao advised: "Bin'er, there are many good girls. Since your cousin is engaged, don't worry about it anymore. My mother also wanted to encourage you before. If you don't want to, why not come back to the capital.
"
"Mom, I have my own plan. Don't worry, I won't be sad about my cousin. I just thought of other things, so don't take it to heart." Mr. Zhao comforted her.
"My child, is it really okay with you? You have loved your cousin so much since you were a child, and it's all your mother's fault that made you so unsatisfied." Mrs. Zhao said.
"Mom, I won't let you down in the future, but I have a wish, and that is to treat Xu'er well," Mr. Zhao said.
Mrs. Zhao saw that Mr. Zhao was so serious, so she nodded and said, "I have thought a lot these days, and I have done a lot wrong in the past. When he comes back, I will treat him well."
"Is what mother said true?" Mr. Zhao asked.
Mrs. Zhao said: "Why am I lying to you? I wronged his mother before, but now you two brothers work together to take care of the business. I was thinking too superficially, thinking about the Zhao family's
The business is all yours. Now I have figured it out, as long as you can do business seriously, I will be satisfied."
"Mother, I have made you worry these years." Mr. Zhao said.
Mrs. Zhao couldn't react for a moment, because Mr. Zhao had never said such a thing before. In the past, she hoped that Mr. Zhao could focus on doing business. If not, she could go to the shop and learn from the shopkeeper. But
Not only did Young Master Zhao reject her proposal, he also thought she was too long-winded. Today, she asked Young Master Zhao to concentrate on doing business, but Young Master Zhao made her worry.
This child went to Licheng, why did he become different after he came back?
So, Mrs. Zhao continued to test herself and said, "I know you sent away all the women in the backyard. You won't bring women back home casually in the future, right?"
She had seen the women Mr. Zhao left in the backyard before, and they all looked similar to Yue'er. She knew that her son's heart was full of Yue'er, but at that time she also knew that she could not marry Yue'er, so she could only marry Yue'er.
Let your son be as he pleases.
In fact, there is no need to worry about Young Master Zhao’s marriage. The matchmaker will also cross the threshold of the Zhao family. However, Young Master Zhao’s reputation has not been very good in recent years, so who would not think of sending their daughter to the Zhao family? There is more than one young master in the Zhao family. If
The second young master is trying his best, and maybe the second young master will succeed him as the head of the Zhao family in the future. Therefore, no matchmaker has been willing to come to the door to negotiate with him in these years.
Mrs. Zhao has worried a lot over the years, so
She was worried that the head of the Zhao family would fall on the second young master. That woman had already stolen the master's heart, and she was worried that even her son would be taken away.
Ever since Mr. Zhao went to Licheng, she had been worried every day, worried that Mr. Zhao would cause trouble in Licheng. Gradually, she began to reflect on herself, and realized that what she had done before was too much.
"I have already made arrangements for those girls, so mother doesn't have to worry about them. In the future, I will not take girls back casually. I will marry a girl I like to be my wife," Mr. Zhao said.
"Have you really given up? Don't think that mother doesn't know anything. Do you think I can't see the looks of those girls?" Mrs. Zhao said.
"Of course I know my mother can see it, and it's because of this that you allow me to do this." Mr. Zhao said.
"Since your father promised you to stay for the New Year, why not bring Xu'er back as well." Mrs. Zhao said.
"Mother, I need to go back to Licheng. I still have some things to deal with, and then I will bring Xu'er back with me." Mr. Zhao said.
"Okay, you go back and deal with it first. After you bring Xu'er back, don't leave again." Mrs. Zhao said.
"Mother, the reason why the Zhao family's business has no problems is entirely because of the Prime Minister. In the future, I will still travel around, maybe I will continue to open a shop in other places and start from scratch. I am not doing this for others, but for Zhao
Home. This time I also tried to open a shop in Licheng, and it felt pretty good." Mr. Zhao said.
"You opened a shop in Licheng?" Mrs. Zhao asked.
She had seen this son since she was a child. She thought that his son really knew nothing about business except that he was not interested in doing business. What surprised her was that his son actually knew that the Zhao family's business had been relying on the Prime Minister's family all these years.
Support. It turns out that her son is different from what she thought. He just doesn’t want to take care of business, and it’s not that he doesn’t understand anything. When she heard that her son had opened a shop of his own in Licheng, she still couldn’t believe it.
"I opened a rouge shop, and I will continue to open it in the capital and other places in the future." Mr. Zhao said.
"After a trip to Licheng, things are really different when I come back. I should have listened to your father earlier and sent you to Licheng." Mrs. Zhao said.
Because he didn't want to waste time, Mr. Zhao said goodbye to Mr. Zhao and got on the carriage to leave the capital. However, the news of his return to the capital still reached Yue'er's ears.
"Mom, do you think my cousin will come over and cause trouble when he hears the news that I'm getting married?" Yue'er said worriedly.
"Don't worry, I have already told the doorkeeper that if the person who comes is Mr. Zhao, he must be stopped and not let in," the lady said.
"My cousin has been in Licheng for so long and only wrote me a letter. If it had been before, the gift would have been delivered even if he didn't come back." Yue'er said in despair.
"No one was sent to deliver anything to you this time in Licheng? It's strange to say that I heard that he had come back a long time ago, but he didn't even enter the house. Logically speaking, if it had been in the past, he would have arrived on the first day after he came back.
The Prime Minister's Mansion is here to visit you," the lady said.
"Yes, even if my cousin is in the capital and I haven't seen him for a long time, he will still send something to the Prime Minister's Mansion," Yue'er said.
"By the way, is there nothing special about the letter he wrote to you?" the lady asked.
"It's nothing special. He just told me about Xia'er specifically. What he meant was that he had never touched Xia'er. He was just acting that day. Because he took medicine for Xia'er, there would be bruises on his body after he woke up.
Yue'er said with a blushing face.
"Is what he said true?" said the lady.
"Of course I don't know. The situation at that time was clear at a glance. Do I need to say anything?" Yue'er said.
"Leave this matter to me," the lady said.
"Yes, mother." Yue'er said.
"But why did he tell you the truth? If what he said was true, why did he bring Xia'er back to the house in the first place?" the lady said.
"Could it be that you lied to me?" Yue'er asked.
"He doesn't have the guts to lie to you. I think he told the truth because he was worried that you would be angry," the lady said.
"What happened last time was an accident. My mother and I never thought that things would turn out like that." Yue'er said.
"Don't worry about this matter, I will take care of it. However, if it is true, you must tell Xia'er." Madam said.
"I thought my mother wasn't going to tell her?" Yue'er said.
"No, you must tell her, she will appreciate you even more." said the lady.
"I understand, mother." Yue'er said.
"If Bin'er really comes here to cause trouble, send Xia'er to Zhao's house. Anyway, there are many women in his backyard, and this one is not missing," the lady said.
"Mom, my cousin sent all those concubines away," Yue'er said.
"It's good to send her away. I heard that he found those women just like you. It's really terrible. My sister-in-law really lets Bin'er do whatever he wants," the lady said.
"Cousin should wait until the Chinese New Year before going back this time, right?" Yue'er said.
"Are you worried that he will come?" said the lady.
"Even if you arrange for someone to block it outside so that the Crown Prince's people can see it, it's still not good. Mother, why don't you invite your cousin in, and I will have a good talk with him." Yue'er said.
"That's good, it will save the prince from worrying too much," the lady said.
"It's a pity that His Highness King Mo is unwilling to marry me, otherwise I will definitely become the queen of Nanzhao. Mother, are you disappointed in me?" Yue'er said.
"Mom, if you are not disappointed, even if you marry the prince, you will become a princess in the future," the lady said.
"Mom, I'm going back to my room first." Yue'er said.
"You can keep Xia'er first," the lady said.
"Okay." Yue'er said.
After reaching the door, Yue'er said to Xia'er who was accompanying her: "Xia'er, you stay here first, Madam has something else to give you."
"yes."
After Yue'er left the house, Xia'er entered the house.
The lady said to Xia'er: "Xia'er, your lady told me that she received a letter from Bin'er."
After hearing this, Xia Er was shaken and worried that his wife would send him to Zhao's house.
When the lady saw that Xia'er didn't speak, she continued: "The letter also specifically mentioned Xia'er. Bin'er meant that what happened that day was all a misunderstanding, and you are still intact."
Xia'er was very surprised when she heard this, and said with a slightly trembling voice: "Madam, are you telling the truth?"
"Of course it's true. I plan to let Aunt Zhang test your body. What do you think?" the lady asked.
Xia'er nodded quickly and said, "Of course I am willing to undergo a physical examination to protect my innocence."
