Chapter 248: Transaction
Although the expression on Mrs. Wang's face was quite calm, her eyes showed a little weakness, and the words in her mouth were somewhat cheeky: "Your father is busy dealing with the affairs of the court every day, and your second uncle has been seriously ill recently, and your father has to take care of the second room, as well as your niece's entanglement with the Zhang family, he must also be asked." He's so busy, how can I bother him with the affairs of the inner house? What's more, at that time, the matter on your side was urgent, and there was no delay. If I wait until your father is idle and then go to him to discuss how to deal with Zhao Shuo's trouble of divorcing his wife, I'm afraid the daylilies will be cold!"
Xiao Wang only looked at his mother in a daze, and his expression did not look like he believed it. The biological daughter is about to be divorced, and it is still Zhao Shuoxiu, whom the Wang family once had high hopes for, is this just a matter of the inner house? Moreover, the authority of the father, Lord Wang, has been greatly reduced in the court in recent months, and there are still many things to be busy with? The second master Wang is seriously ill, but he has been avoiding everyone in the long house, and even the little Wang family, a foreign daughter, has heard of this, so why is the eldest master Wang not available? As for the fact that the Zhang family is going to divorce the eldest nephew, it is still in a stalemate, because the Chinese New Year has passed, and both sides have stopped a little. At this time, is it true that Master Wang can't spare time to help a group of daughters?!
Mother was lying! She was deliberately hiding it from her father!
Xiao Wang immediately came to this conclusion, and she suddenly panicked: "Mother, since my father doesn't know the truth about my pregnancy, then ...... Will he ...... Don't agree with this method?" she cooperated and pretended to be pregnant because she trusted her parents' judgment. But if this plan is not approved by Master Wang, it may not be a good idea, and she should not be taken to the ditch by her mother!
A trace of chagrin flashed on Mrs. Wang's face, but she still comforted her daughter and said, "It's okay, your father just knew a little bit late." He'll find a way to cover it up for you. You don't have to worry, just leave it to your father. ”
Xiao Wang wanted to cry without tears: "Mother! Please stop making arbitrary claims in the future! This time it really scared me." If you encounter something difficult in the future, you should ask your father first!"
"Got it, got it. Mrs. Wang said casually.
Xiao Wang had to complain again: "Why didn't you tell your father the truth?!" My father loves me the most, and he expects Zhao Shuo to get ahead, and he will never let him divorce me." If my father had heard the news, he would have put everything down and come to my aid. Why do you have to hide it from him?!"
Mrs. Wang laughed dryly, but did not answer.
Mother Du, who was standing on the side, knew it. In order to save her daughter's marriage, Mrs. Wang let her daughter use her own collection of secret medicines. The prescription for this medicine was used in her early years. After Master Wang misunderstood that she was really pregnant, he was mismarried by his ex-wife's son and sister-in-law, so he treated the former coldly and expelled the latter. But once he sees that his wife has drugs in her hands that make people fake pregnancies and miscarriages, won't he think of the turmoil of the past? If he guesses the truth, what will he think of his current wife? If he has a disgust for Mrs. Wang, how will Mrs. Wang defend herself?
Mrs. Wang concealed the truth from her husband and only deduced that her daughter was really pregnant, which is really reasonable. Later, she didn't expect that there would be a poisoning of the concubine in Zhao Shuo's mansion, which implicated Xiao Wang's family, forcing Xiao Wang's family to ask her parents for help again. And this time, without knowing it, Xiao Wang revealed his tone to Master Wang, and Master Wang turned his head and questioned his wife. Even if Mrs. Wang wanted to hide it again, she didn't dare to deceive anymore, so she had to deduce that after her daughter was framed by Lan Xue once, she specially ordered someone to collect this kind of medicine, just in case. As for whether Master Wang really believes it, no one knows.
At this moment, Master Wang was negotiating with Zhao Shuo in the study.
He didn't say so many clichés and went around so many circles, and from the very beginning, he said to Zhao Shuo bluntly: "Shizi, it is impossible for a little girl to be unfavorable to the concubine." If it is a son, the identity of the concubine is far more valuable than the concubine, even if the prince prefers the concubine, the court will only pass the title of the prince to the head of the concubine, and the concubine of the prince will not hinder the little girl. Not to mention that before Zhao Qi, the prince also had an eldest son, Zhao Mo. No matter how confused the little girl is, there is no need to get along with a concubine who will not hinder her parent-child future. Maybe the prince will think that the little girl used to be young and vigorous and easy to be confused, but now that she has been married for more than two years, she is becoming more and more stable, and after being taught by the prince, she will not even be confused about the importance of things. I, as a father, might as well confess to the son of the world, if I say that the youngest daughter has given birth to an heir for the son, then I will see that the eldest son of the son of the world is not pleasing to the eye and intends to cause harm - then I believe it. But if she was just pregnant, she was impatient to attack a concubine?
Zhao Shuo's face is a little unsightly, he now thinks that he is highly valued by the emperor, and the crown prince is also very kind and friendly to him, his current status is no longer comparable to when he first entered Beijing. In the past, he had a place where he needed to rely on the Wang family, and Lord Wang was arrogant to him, he could bear it, and it was all for the future. But now that the Wang family is about to decline, and it is even possible that the whole family will be convicted, but he, the emperor's own nephew, is in the limelight, and the eldest master Wang is still putting his father-in-law in front of him, unceremoniously belittling his own flesh and blood, and saying that the little Wang family may look at his eldest son unpleasantly and deliberately harm him...... This is clearly relying on the old and selling the old, and he didn't take him seriously!
He does have a deep dissatisfaction with his eldest son Zhao Mo now, because Zhao Mo used to be quite obedient, but now he is becoming more and more stubborn, and after going to Jiangnan, he has repeatedly violated his father's instructions, and even helped the prince return to the court safely! In this way, he didn't take his father to heart at all, and it could even be said that he ruined his father's plan! However, Zhao Mo was not ashamed of this at all, and after receiving many letters from his father, he also pretended to be deaf and dumb, ignoring the hints in his father's letters. Zhao Shuo's stomach was already full of resentment towards his eldest son, and when Zhao Mo returned to Beijing, he had to teach him a good lesson. However......
This is his son, and he takes it for granted how he teaches. What are the Wang family and the little Wang family? Dare to take it like this, and openly say in front of him that they want to get rid of Zhao Mo?!
Zhao Shuo sneered, glanced at Master Wang, and said slowly: "Father-in-law is serious. Those unreliable rumors outside are just rumors spread by ignorant women and children, so why should my father-in-law care too much? I have never said that my wife hurt Brother Qi. It is true that Brother Qi was poisoned, but it was because the cook had asked Aunt Lan to punish her because she had made a mistake, so she was resentful and wanted to take revenge in this way. The cook had committed suicide, and her husband and children had fled. I have asked the Shuntian Mansion to search for them everywhere and make sure that they are apprehended. The matter has been settled and has nothing to do with Madame. Father-in-law, please comfort Mrs. and let Mrs. raise the baby with peace of mind. She doesn't have to pay attention to the trivial matters outside. If there is anything, wait until she gives birth to a child. ”
Master Wang's heart sank, knowing that Zhao Shuo's words were just to appease himself, but in fact, he didn't believe his previous words at all. Even if that statement is reasonable, anyone thinks it is the right answer, but if Zhao Shuo's heart is biased, he will think that it is false, and Master Wang can't help it.
Master Wang closed his eyes, and once again secretly hated his wife and daughter for not worrying, and he had assassinated Zhao Shuo's heirs in one more way, so that he could not defend himself now. However, the concubine that Zhao Shuo left in Liaodong Liaowang Mansion died in a daze, and Mrs. Wang and Xiao Wang insisted that it was not their hands, and the appointment was just a coincidence, but it was also counted on their heads. With the death of this concubine, how could Zhao Shuo believe that Xiao Wang's family would look at his concubine rationally, and would not be unfavorable to them because they could not hinder their future?
Master Wang gritted his teeth and decided to give up his rational justification, and only used a bait to attract Zhao Shuo, so that he would not abandon the Wang family at this critical juncture.
He solemnly said to Zhao Shuo: "The prince may not believe my words, but I once mentioned something to the little girl, and the prince may have a different opinion after knowing it." ”
Zhao Shuo raised his eyebrows and smiled nonchalantly: "Oh, what's the matter? Actually, my father-in-law doesn't need to say it anymore, I really don't have ......."
"The prince has recovered from his illness, and now he is still listening to the government, but I am afraid that the prince really has no hope of entering the royal family as the heir. Master Wang interrupted him without waiting for him to finish, "But the hopelessness of the son does not mean that the heirs of the son of the world are hopeless." There is no need for a step-prince in the palace, and it may not be that there will be no step-emperor and grandson. ”
Zhao Shuo was originally upset that Master Wang interrupted his words, but he was quickly attracted by his later words, and asked nervously, "What does father-in-law mean by this?!"
When Lord Wang saw his expression, his heart was relieved, and his tone slowed down slightly: "As I said, the crown prince is still listening to the government, as long as he is in good health before taking over the throne, there will be no more step-princes in the palace." However, the crown prince has been ill and weak for many years, and the eldest grandson of the East Palace Emperor died early, and no second imperial grandson has been born so far. If the crown prince has a difficult heir in the future, then sooner or later he will mention the matter of succession. ”
He looked at Zhao Shuo with a deep gaze: "The prince is now friendly with the East Palace, and the East Palace has no siblings beside him, in terms of bloodline, the son of the world and the East Palace are extremely close." If the East Palace really wants to have a succession, it will most likely be selected from the close clan palace, right? The eldest son was originally the one who inherited the title of the family business, and it was impossible for him to succeed him. And the birth mother of the concubine is too low, and she can't take it. But if there is more than one sister-in-law...... Don't you think it's a great thing for everyone?"
Zhao Shuo held his breath for a while, until his chest was a little painful, then he took a few deep breaths and calmed down a little: "Father-in-law is planning to let this child in Madame's womb ......" He paused, and a hint of mockery appeared on his lips, "I'm afraid that the emperor is not very happy, right?"
With the attitude of the emperor and the crown prince towards the Wang family more and more now, the son with the blood of the Wang family is of course impossible for the emperor and the prince to take a fancy to.
Master Wang understood what Zhao Shuo meant, and just smiled: "The little girl's heirs don't have that blessing, and it's good to stay in the palace to inherit the family business." It's just that when the time comes, I will ask the prince to have more mercy on the little girl and the child born to her. Our Wang family is in a bad situation now, if they can no longer shelter their mother and son, all they can hope for is the son. ”
Is this a deal with him? The Wang family also has a royal concubine in the palace, who is considered to be a high-ranking concubine, and has to be valued by the queen mother. If you really want to succeed the emperor's grandson, this princess may be a help. Not to mention the hundred-legged insects of the Wang family, dead but not stiff, those protégés are old......
Zhao Shuo hesitated for a moment, and he began to feel that maybe the Wang family was still of some use.
