Chapter 203: Tang Dusk's Affair
"Grandfather, it's true, Qingyuan has seen it with his own eyes, and there can be no mistake." Cheng Qingyuan is very sure that he has been following him, how could there be a mistake.
Old Man Cheng couldn't figure it out in his heart, how Guo Ran was involved with Princess Xiaoyang, Princess Xiaoyang represented turmoil, Guo Ran, this time he did it too much, he didn't think things through, he didn't know what it was like in his heart.
"Don't talk about this matter in the future, don't take this matter to heart, Ah Ran, you don't care, there are some things, I will talk about him well!" Old Man Cheng endured the doubts in his heart, but still did not forget to instruct Cheng Juewen and Cheng Qingyuan.
Even if Guo Ran lives in Chengfu, Jue Wen is also his uncle, and he can't let Jue Wen talk about this matter, it's better to bring it up by himself, that's the best.
"Yes"
Cheng Juewen and Cheng Qingyuan also hurriedly responded, they are not stupid people, what does the old man mean by this, after thinking about it, it will be clear.
"Let's all go down!"
"By the way, Qingyuan, let Yu Xiao send someone over to pick up these poems, there is already a conclusion, or I decided after discussing it with your father." Old Man Cheng touched his mustache again and said proudly.
As soon as the father and son left, Old Man Cheng's face darkened, the connection between Guo Ran and Princess Xiaoyang made him very worried, just with the things that Princess Xiaoyang had caused in Jin Country these days, it was not a worry-free thing.
"It seems that Ah Ran's heart still can't forget those hatreds, what's the use of just conspiring with the tiger, if you trap yourself in, any hatred is just an aftermath, not to mention, what kind of identity is Princess Xiaoyang!" The essence in Old Man Cheng's eyes flashed, he has been smart all his life, how could he not see through Guo Ran's careful thoughts, and talk secretly with Princess Xiaoyang, what else can there be besides the Guo family.
Thinking of the Guo family and Yin'er, he was also full of sadness and pain, how could he blame Guo Ran who watched his mother not torture to death.
"Book marks, go and invite the young master over and say, I have something to do here!" Thinking of Yin'er, he couldn't wait any longer, he must comfort Guo Ran well, if Guo Ran is allowed to go his own way, if something happens, then how can he be worthy of Yin'er, who has died.
Cheng Jueyin is the only daughter of the old man and the old lady, but he is not a person, if he had known that the Guo family was like that, he would have fought for his reputation, and he couldn't let Yin'er fall into the wolf's den in dire straits, as for Guo Ran, he was Yin'er's only concern, and he naturally couldn't let Guo Ran have an accident.
It's just half a cup of tea, Guo Ran arrived at Old Man Cheng's courtyard, Old Man Cheng has already entered the study, he knows that what he is talking about today is extraordinary, so it is naturally safer.
Dressed in a brand-new gold-threaded black dress, the sleeves and corners of the clothes are embroidered with cumbersome swirl patterns, the dark hair is tied with a light cyan jade crown, the black brocade clothes make the whole person's breath more and more cold, delicate and handsome face, with a touch of sorrow on the eyebrows, seventeen or eighteen years old, but there is wisdom and calculation beyond age between the eyebrows, and the pace is brisk. It's just that it comes with a meticulous severity.
"Master, Ran Gongzi has arrived!" The old slave knocked lightly on the door of the study, and only a moment of doubt flashed in his eyes, thinking, wasn't the master still in the courtyard just now? Why did I just invite my cousin over and go to the study!
Even if he wondered in his heart, these were not the things that people like him should take care of.
"Come in!"
Guo Ran pushed the door in, and when he saw Old Man Cheng, he didn't think about it, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "Guo Ran asks his grandfather to be safe, and his grandfather is healthy." ”
"Okay, get up, your mind, grandfather knows, sit by yourself, it's better to be the same as on weekdays." Old Man Cheng waved his hand, he had already reached this age, and he was not obsessed with those who were hypocritical, Guo Ran's filial piety, he was still very pleased in his heart.
Looking at Guo Ran's face that was almost exactly the same as that of his daughter, Old Man Cheng was sad and experienced the pain of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person, and Old Man Cheng naturally didn't want Guo Ran to take any more risks, let alone Guo Ran was hurt in any way.
"Grandfather, what's wrong with you?" Guo Ran was at a loss, Old Man Cheng had never been so out of shape in front of him, and he had no choice.
Old Man Cheng also knew his gaffe, and he didn't know what was wrong with him today, looking at Guo Ran, it was like seeing Yin'er.
"It's okay, I called you over today, I have something to ask you, my grandfather is old, what I hope most is stability, if you ask about something you don't want to mention, my grandfather still wants you to tell me honestly, okay?" Old Man Cheng spoke earnestly, not like he was talking to a junior, with deliberation and longing between his words, he completely let go of his face.
Old man Cheng is only for Guo Ran, just for Guo Ran to live peacefully, those hatreds, even if they disappear, are good.
"Grandfather wants to ask anything, just ask, as long as Guo Ran knows, Guo Ran must know everything." Guo Ran already knew in his heart that there were not many things he didn't want to mention, and the book mark said that Cheng Qingyuan and his uncle had just left, so it should be that one thing.
Regarding that incident, Guo Ran felt that there was nothing to hide, whether the people who had a family knew it, didn't know it, opposed it, or agreed, he wouldn't change it, not to mention that Princess Xiaoyang could help him avenge his hatred, even the life-saving grace could not be forgotten.
"Do you know Princess Xiaoyang?"
"Yes"
Hearing Guo Ran admit it in person, Old Man Cheng still didn't want to hear it, but how could this be changed, it was already an established fact.
"Have you and Princess Xiaoyang met in Fenglu Village, and have you had a secret conversation?"
"Too"
Old Man Cheng took a deep breath, but he didn't expect Guo Ran to answer so simply, which made Old Man Cheng feel uneasy.
Guo Ran actually didn't think about it so much, he only knew that instead of letting Old Man Cheng be suspicious and suspicious, it was better to explain it honestly and clearly, anyway, Old Man Cheng had already made a decision in his heart, otherwise, he wouldn't have hurriedly sent someone to call him over and ask about these things.
"What did you all talk about? Is it related to your grievances with the Guo family? Is it related to your mother's hatred? Is there some kind of cooperation between you? Old Man Cheng's voice became louder and louder, and obviously, his anger was getting heavier and heavier.
Guo Ran still said 'yes' plainly, and there were no other superfluous words.
"You...... It turned out to be true, Ah Ran, do you know how dangerous this is, the Guo family is a relative of the emperor, and the prince's foreign family, how can you shake it? Forget that, your mother doesn't want to see you take the risk! ”
Old Man Cheng's voice was full of helplessness, he didn't want to watch Guo Ran fall into it, about Princess Xiaoyang, he didn't want to say more, it's just that Guo Ran is the bloodline of his only daughter, how can he watch him go to a dead end.
"Grandfather, Ah Ran has decided on something, Ah Ran only hopes to get his grandfather's support, not to obstruct it, my mother is alone in Xishan, and their group of culprits are enjoying the glory and wealth, living in the world lively, there is no such cheap thing in the world, Ah Ran has watched his mother suffer since he was a child*, Guo Ran was incapable in the past, so he could only watch his mother leave me, and now Guo Ran is not a person who everyone can step on, so he naturally wants to avenge his mother."
There was a tremor in his voice, obviously extremely angry and hateful, Guo Ran's scarlet bloody eyes, gritted his teeth and said these words, naturally it was not the same as Cheng Old Man and Cheng Mansion became an obstacle to his revenge, preventing him from asking the Guo family for everything that belonged to him.
"Ah Ran, you have really decided, but how easy is this matter, the queen and the crown prince are stable, and their Guo family is naturally still powerful, how can you take revenge? Ah Ran, listen to my grandfather's advice. Luckily? Old Man Cheng's voice was full of longing, Guo Ran's words shocked him, if Guo Ran's thoughts were true, he also knew that he couldn't persuade him.
Guo Ran didn't speak for a long time, a pair of black eyes looked closely into the distance, where it seemed to be the direction of Xishan, and the light in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
"Grandfather, do you know who did my assassination in Xishan a few days ago? That's the Guo family, I'm willing to let go of the hatred in my heart, and people are not willing to let go of my trouble, the so-called weeding to get rid of the roots, how can they leave me? ”
Guo Ran deliberately ambiguously said that the Jiang family was the Guo family, anyway, the Jiang family was also a member of the Guo family, so there was nothing wrong with saying so, not to mention, that person also wanted to watch himself disappear.
"The Guo family? You...... Is it really the Guo family? Old Man Cheng was very surprised, he didn't know what happened at the beginning, he only knew that Guo Ran was assassinated in Xishan and was saved by the eldest princess of Shaoyang who was passing by Xishan, so he saved this little life, and although he had doubts about those things involved, he didn't have any evidence.
Cheng Juewen and Li Yi didn't tell Old Man Cheng about this matter, but just silently did some tricks behind their backs to make the Guo family famous.
"It's the Guo family, you all think it was the eldest princess of Shaoyang who saved me, but no one knows. The person who saved me was actually Princess Xiaoyang, she and I had the grace to save my life, and it was definitely not for the sake of maternal enmity, and I Guo Ran was also a person on Princess Xiaoyang's side. Guo Ran said righteously and righteously, and also expressed his thoughts.
Old Man Cheng suddenly realized, but he was polite, but he still couldn't understand how Guo Ran's life-saving benefactor changed from the eldest princess of Shaoyang to the princess of Xiaoyang.
Guo Ran clearly informed the old man Cheng of the ins and outs of the matter, from his chance encounter with Princess Xiaoyang in the world, to the conflict between the Guo family and Princess Xiaoyang, and then to the siege of Xishan. The redemption when the head is about to fall to the ground, and the secret talk of Fengluzhuang.
Old Man Cheng is a transparent person, Princess Xiaoyang's words made him thorough, the Guo family is indeed not a good thing, Yin'er was ruined by them, but he didn't want to, he even wanted to ruin Guo Ran, it was really a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs, all of them were black-hearted.
Moreover, the alliance between Princess Xiaoyang and Guo Ran, just by the words Guo Ran said, Old Man Cheng knew that it was not an idle person, and he had such ambitions, but he saw it very thoroughly, and it was not impossible to really have some creation.
"In this case, my grandfather won't embarrass you, it's just that there are some things, you should do and shouldn't do, but you have to find that boundary, and there are some things that you can't do without losing your head, do you clearly understand?" Old Man Cheng suddenly became aggressive, he also figured it out, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and there are some things, even if he wants to stop them, he can't stop them.
"Yes"
Guo Ran made it clear to Old Man Cheng, he has no worries, in the future, he will devote himself to what he said in July, there are many things, he didn't tell Old Man Cheng truthfully, but he knows that Old Man Cheng's brain will not be unintelligible.
July's words, he knew that she was an ambitious person, and when he took that step, the two were already tightly tied together.
July naturally didn't know what happened in Chengfu, and she didn't know that Guo Ran's words to Old Man Cheng today would have a great impact, so that at a later moment, she would subdue Chengjia and Qingyun Academy without much effort.
"Twilight, what happened to Tang Dui, why hasn't the news of Yong'an City been sent yet?" July was a little anxious, there had been no news from Yong'an City for more than ten days, this situation had never happened before, and this time, it had dragged on for so long.
can only explain one problem, that is, Tang Dui has an accident, and even his own people can't send news, how grim the situation should be, Tang Dui, she doesn't have a few people to worry about, and there are only her father and Yang Liuyu, her father is in the palace, and it can be regarded as an island, and the court is full of people from Ning Guogong and Jingyuan Hou, between them, it depends on who is the final winner in this game.
"Princess, there's a letter from Twilight, take a look!" Twilight is also worried in his heart, no matter what, Tang Twilight is also his homeland.
After reading Duyi's letter, July's heart was relieved, and the letter mentioned the situation in Yong'an City, although the battle between Ning Guogong and Jingyuan Hou had entered the most critical white-hot time, but fortunately, Yong'an City was not in chaos, and the situation was still under control.
"It's okay, but this kind of calm won't last long, the bloody storm is about to set off in Yong'an City, what should my father do?" July's biggest worry is Twilight, as the emperor, whether it is the Ning family or the Wu family, if he wants to seize power, the biggest obstacle is Twilight.
If they weren't so ambitious, her father would definitely be safe, but they were ambitious and had been planning for so many years, where would they give up, this time, Tang Du was probably more than lucky, and her father was the same.
"Princess, don't think about it so much, Tang Dui will be fine, the emperor will be fine, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother will bless Tang Dui and the emperor." Jiyu gently wiped the tears from the corners of July's eyes, and comforted July in a soft voice.
In fact, Tang Dui's affairs are really as July thought, or even worse, the Ningguo Mansion and the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion have been fighting wits and courage for many years, and finally the Empress Dowager passed away, they have an opportunity to take advantage of, and they have no last fear, and their desire for that position is even stronger.
This time, Yong'an City was already in complete chaos, not to mention Tang Dui's palace, and Twilight's situation was becoming more and more difficult, but he didn't want to make July sad and sad.
"I hope so, Ji Cheng hopes that nothing will happen, that's our hole card!" July also took Jiyu's words, but she knew very well in her heart that even those people under her could no longer send news, and those things were already unlikely.
She was sad, since she left Tang Dusk, she hadn't already chosen to leave her father alone, her father could agree to let her reconcile, she should have thought of today's result, otherwise how could Twilight, who loves her daughter like her life, tolerate marrying into a bitter cold place like Jin Guo in July.
