Chapter 625: Scolding and Crying (Conscientious and Lonely Brother Rewarding and Changing)
Yang Hong stood in front of Yuan Shu's tomb, sighing, tears flowing down his thin face, wetting his clothes.
"Alas, highway, I'm sorry for you."
Yuan Yao stood aside, silent, looking a little wooden, at least not as excited as Yang Hong wanted to see. Yang Hong was even more sad. Although Yuan Yao is not as sloppy as Yuan Shu and not as jumpy as Yang Xiu, he is not a wooden person either. In just one year, he has become so reticent that he is naturally inseparable from what happened to him. And the cause of all this is his Yang Hong's negligence, and he has an unshirkable responsibility.
Now, Yang Biao has given him a chance to make up for all his mistakes.
"Don't be afraid, kid." Yang Hong lightly pressed Yuan Yao's shoulder. "Nanyang is just the first step, everything that your father should leave you, we have to take it back one by one. With the support of the court and your uncle, you don't have to be afraid of anyone. β
Yuan Yao flashed slightly, Yang Hong's palm slipped down, and his heart sank. He turned to Yuan Yao, bent down, and looked directly into Yuan Yao's eyes.
"You...... Afraid? β
Yuan Yao raised his head and met Yang Hong's gaze, the corners of his mouth crooked. "The court remembers me now? Then General Sun asked for my father's advice, why did the imperial court drag on for so long, and finally had to help them with Todin to succeed? I, the fourth and third duke of the Yuan family, were slaughtered by Dong Zhuo dozens of times, I am the only grandson of my eldest father, shouldn't I inherit my eldest father's title? β
Yang Hong sighed. "Child, this matter is more complicated than you think, one sentence or two sentences are not clear, when we are free, we will talk slowly, I will tell you everything, okay?"
"What better place to be?" Yuan Yao looked at Yuan Shu's tombstone. "I think Aung must have wanted to know why."
Yang Hong's eyes shrunk, and his brows furrowed even tighter. Yuan Yao was very resentful, not only did he not mean to cooperate with him, but he was also aggressive. Was this his own idea, or did Sun Ce put pressure on him through Yuan Quan? A woman is a woman, there is no distinction between right and wrong, the severity is unknown, and it is not allowed to pay for big things. At the beginning, Yuan Shu entrusted the future affairs to Sun Ce, thinking that Yuan Yao was dead. I was attached to Sun Ce before, and that was because I had no strength, so I had to act cheaply. Now that Yuan Yao is safe and sound, and with the support of the imperial court, it is a good opportunity to regain Yuan Shu's inheritance, why is she still helping Sun Ce?
Could it be that she married Sun Ce and forgot what her surname was?
The more Yang Hong thought about it, the more angry he became. When Yuan Shu died, he was by Yuan Shu's side, and he could hear it clearly, Yuan Shu only entrusted Sun Ce with Yuan Heng, not including Yuan Quan, and when Sun Ce didn't understand, Yuan Shu specially corrected it. Now Yuan Quan is married to Sun Ce, and he is willing to be a concubine, what is going on, is it considered to be a violation of Yuan Shu's last order, and he is not ashamed?
Yang Hong sneered, pulled Yuan Yao, turned around and came to Yuan Quan, and looked at Yuan Quan with angry eyes. "Mrs. Yuan, I don't know something, dare to ask Mrs. to solve my doubts."
Yuan Quan remained silent. "Please Yang Changshi speak up."
"When General Yuan died of the world, I was by his side, and I heard it clearly, General Yuan wanted General Sun to marry Ah Heng, but was it wrong?"
"Yang Changshi has a very good memory, not bad at all."
"Then how could you marry Sun Ce and be a concubine?"
Yuan Quan raised her eyebrows slightly. "This ...... Disobeyed his father's will? β
"General Yuan really didn't say that you can't marry Sun Ce, but you were born in the Yuan family of the fourth generation and the third duke, and your family is noble, how can you be a concubine? Besides, you had already married Huang Yi on the orders of your parents at that time, why did you suddenly marry Sun Ce? β
"Yang Changshi has lived in seclusion in the mountains for too long, don't you know that Huang Yi and Liu Xun betrayed their father's will? Should I, though I be a woman, follow the traitors and make enemies of my father's appointed heirs, my brother, and my sister? β
"I didn't say that you can't reconcile with Huang Yi, but there are countless heroes in the world, why do you want to marry Sun Ce as a concubine, where is the Yuan family?"
Yuan Quan didn't answer Yang Hong immediately, she laughed silently, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, slightly sarcastic, but there was an indescribable vicissitudes in her eyes. "Yang Changshi is now opening his mouth to the Yuan family, closing his mouth to the fourth and third dukes, dozens of my Yuan family were brutally killed, General Sun has repeatedly asked to move the bones and move back to Ruyang for burial, why hasn't anyone in the court stood up to support? The Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes, the protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials all over the world, why didn't anyone think of any of them? β
Yang Hong was silent, but his face was a little hot.
"That's right, the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, the family is noble, but who stipulates that the daughter of the Yuan family cannot be a concubine? When my sister and brother were displaced, there was nowhere to go, and even the Yuan family's closest relatives refused to accept it, it was General Sun who ran for us and regarded me as a relative, I was grateful to him, and I was willing to serve a broom, why not? I heard that the old monarch is in trouble, and there are people with lofty ideals who have become slaves, so what happened to me, a woman, marrying General Sun as a concubine? β
Yang Hong's face was red and his ears were red. Although Yuan Quan's words did not point directly at him, they poked his heart every word. He is also a former official of the Yuan family, but not only did he fail to fulfill the righteousness of Yuan Shu, but Sun Ce was busy before and after, and he asked for Yuan Shu's advice, and asked for the burial of the remains of dozens of Yuan family, Yuan Quan married Sun Ce as a concubine in order to repay his kindness, not to mention that Yang Hong was also responsible for this matter, if he could support Yuan Quan's sisters at that time and prevent them from being helpless, Yuan Quan would not have made such a decision.
Yang Hong was already full of guilt for Yuan Shu and Yuan Yao in his heart, but now he added another one, he was so depressed that he was in no mood to ask Yuan Quan, so he turned around and dragged his heavy steps, returned to Yuan Shu's tomb step by step, slowly knelt on the ground, and cried loudly.
"Highway, I'm sorry for you......"
Yang Xiu blinked his eyes and secretly admired. This Yuan Quan is too good to say, and Yang Hong is speechless, but Yang Hong is so guilty that he cried. This is still her mercy, and she did not directly point out that Yang Hong violated the righteousness of the old officials, otherwise Yang Hong would not have committed suicide.
Yuan Quan glanced at Yang Xiu lightly and motioned him to take care of Yang Hong and not let him do stupid things. Yang Xiu understood and rushed to Yuan Shu's tomb to accompany him. Yuan Shu took Yuan Yao and Yuan Heng into the carriage, closed the door, looked at Yang Hong who was still crying in the distance through the window, was silent for a moment, turned to Yuan Yao and said, "Brother, have you ever thought about what kind of person you want to be in the future?" β
Yuan Yao didn't know why, and tilted his head. "Sister, what did you say?"
"For example, you are now the Marquis of Anguo Pavilion with 1,100 households in the city, have you ever thought about increasing the number of lords in the future, or even being crowned king?"
Yuan Yao was taken aback. "Sister, what are you talking about, how can I be crowned king?" He was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Are you saying that Congbo established the Yuan clan and made me king?" This...... It's unlikely......"
"I'm not talking about him. If he ascends the throne as the emperor, don't say that he is crowned king, I am afraid that even this Anguo Pavilion Marquis may not be able to keep it. β
Yuan Yao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood. "You mean General Sun? That's impossible, how can anyone with a different surname be crowned a king. Emperor Gao has the alliance of white horses, not meritorious, not Liu Buwang......"
Yuan Quan laughed and glared at Yuan Yao. "His surname is Liu, can he manage the affairs of the Sun family? You're really stupid at reading. β
Yuan Yao touched his head embarrassedly, laughed twice, leaned in front of Yuan Quan, and whispered, "Sister, could it be...... My brother-in-law promised you that he would sit in the world in the future and make me king? β
Yuan Quan smiled silently, neither affirming nor denying, his eyes were like autumn water, and his expression was confused.
