Chapter 277: The Temptation Is Too Great
This temptation is too great, not to mention that his father is imprisoned and his life and death are unknown, even if he is the heir of Jinxiuzhuang, he must not watch the hard work of his ancestors for nearly a hundred years be ruined. What's more, he was afraid that if he didn't agree, Li Wangzhen would make a move on Xilingyue, so after weighing it, he was forced to agree to this family business.
Sure enough, a month later, his father was released from prison, and the government returned half of the stolen family assets, and the seal of the ancestral house was also removed. It's just that Liu Pi's rebellion case is widely implicated, and Jinxiuzhuang in various places has been locked up. At that time, the other person was still in Ziqing, but the news of the marriage had been transmitted back to Xichuan, and both his father and Xilingyue knew the inside story.
He was worried about Xilingyue's reaction at the time, and he wanted to explain the matter after returning home, and then slowly think about returning the family matter. Unexpectedly, when he went back, what he got was the news that Xilingyue had run away from home, and she only left a letter to him, saying that she would go out to find a way to overturn the case. He thought that Xilingyue would go to Ziqing, but he didn't expect her to come to Zhenhai, which led to everything that happened next.
The more Xiao Yi thought about it, the more he felt self-blame, and so did Xilingyue. She cried to herself for a long time, and finally cried enough, then she wiped away her tears and raised her head, sobbing and asked, "Brother Yi, do you really like her?" ”
Xiao Yi lowered her eyes and gently stroked her hair: "What do you say?" ”
Xilingyue bit her lower lip: "But...... But at this point, you can't get out of the marriage. ”
Xiao Yi doesn't know? Li Wangzhen's father and daughter helped him a lot, if he divorced at this moment, he would definitely be charged with ingratitude, and with Li Shidao's retribution, the future of the Xiao family may be over. But he didn't want to tell Xiling Yue these words, the Yue'er in his impression should have been carefree, just like the previous seventeen years, growing into a delicate flower under his care.
And now...... He turned his head to look out the window, and could see Li Chengxuan and Li Wangzhen standing on the dock talking......
Xilingyue didn't know his gloomy thoughts, and sobbed again: "Brother Yi, don't worry, I will bear the trouble I caused, and I will never embarrass you." I...... I will definitely make Jinxiuzhuang better. ”
He knew she would, she had always been surrounded by good luck, and now that she met King Fu again, maybe it was really an opportunity.
"Are you really going to Chang'an?" He asked for the last time, but he understood that with the personality of Xiling Yue, the things he decided would never change again.
As he expected, Xiling Yue nodded solemnly: "I don't want you to be unable to raise your head in Ziqing...... I'll try it first, and if it doesn't work, you can try harder; If it becomes ......"
She paused for a moment and said sadly, "If it happens, even if it is my wedding gift to you." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Yi only felt stunned, he didn't expect that this trip to Zhenhai would actually make Xilingyue change, and she actually learned to let go.
However, he was unwilling to let go, as if if she let her enter Beijing, they would be completely separated from each other.
In an instant, he had already decided: "In this case, I will go to Chang'an with you." ”
At the same time, Li Chengxuan and Li Wangzhen also came to the dock one after another.
The latter saw that the former was silent, so he took the initiative to step forward and said with a smile: "The world says that the blessed king is romantic, and he has always believed in the truth. ”
Li Chengxuan turned his head, pretended to be curious and asked with a smile: "Then in the eyes of Mrs. Li, who is this king?" ”
"At least not amorous." Li Wangzhen said, deliberately looking back at the window of the teahouse, where Xiling Yue and Xiao Yijio could be faintly seen
Talking about the figure, she meant something, "The prince has a good eye." ”
Li Chengxuan also glanced back and did not deny it: "Doesn't this just prove that this king is amorous and merciful everywhere?" ”
Li Wangzhen chuckled: "Be merciful everywhere? The prince has a big flaw. ”
"Oh?"
"You have known Xiling Lady for less than a month, and you said that she was pregnant...... If it is really amorous, you should know that a woman will never conceive so quickly, and even if a miracle doctor takes the pulse, it will take at least 40 days to confirm the diagnosis. ”
Li Chengxuan was speechless at once.
Li Wangzhen smiled again: "If it weren't for the tense atmosphere at the time, your little trick would have been debunked a long time ago." It's a pity that although the Xiling lady is clever, she is also an unmarried daughter after all. ”
Li Chengxuan could only reply: "Thank you for reminding me, this king has been taught." ”
Li Wuzhen couldn't help but wonder: "In this way, the prince is clean and self-conscious." ”
As she spoke, she looked back at the teahouse, and by the window on the second floor, the figures of the pair of brothers and sisters were so dazzling and so eye-catching. A thought came to her suddenly, no, maybe not suddenly, in fact she had been brewing all day, or even longer, so long that it had taken root in her heart, and had grown into a poisonous vine that had poisoned her bone marrow.
"If the prince really has a heart, he is willing to help with this." She said it by magic.
Li Chengxuan glanced at her: "Is it to help this king, or to help yourself?" ”
"Mutual benefit." Li Wuzhen did not hide it, "You also know in your heart that with the current identity of the lady of Xiling, it is useless to go to Chang'an." But...... If Jiming becomes my husband, Xiling Lady is my sister-in-law, and her value is naturally different, even if she can't be Princess Fu, there is still a chance to be a side concubine, and my father will try his best to promote it. ”
"Mrs. Li can't help but think too far." Li Chengxuan commented indifferently.
"People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries." Li Wangzhen continued to fight, "How? I can find a good match, and you can also hold a beautiful woman, and everyone takes what they need. ”
"Thank you Mrs. Li for your kindness, this king has received it." Li Chengxuan refused without thinking.
"Lord Wang......" Li Chengxuan waved his hand to stop her from saying: "This king has his own ideas about this matter, and he doesn't bother to bother." ”
Li Wuzhen didn't expect him to refuse, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately regained his smile: "It's okay, I just hope you can understand that Ziqing is willing to marry you and be your backing." ”
Half an hour later, Li Wangzhen and Li Chengxuan parted ways. The former returned to Ziqing by water, and the latter went to Chang'an by land.
Two days later, Xiao Guo met Li Chengxuan and his party in Chuzhou. When Xiao Guo Fu saw Xiao Yi, he was stunned, and sighed again and again: "There are still such peerless characters in the world. ”
He finally didn't say the wrong thing and used the wrong word, even Li Chengxuan was surprised.
After the two roads met, the Chuzhou Thorn Shi sent three more carriages, the regulations, size, and style were exactly the same, but two of them were four, and the other was only two.
"Zhou Li" has clouds: the Son of Heaven drives six horses, the princes drive four, the doctor three, the scholar two, and the Shuren one. There is no doubt that Prince Li Chengxuan and County Duke Guo Zhongting can both ride in a four-horse carriage, while Xilingyue and Xiao Yi can only take a two-horse carriage. This is nothing, but the Chuzhou Assassin heard that the two of them were brother and sister, and thought that they could share a car, so he only sent a carriage.
However, with the current situation, Xilingyue obviously didn't want to ride with Xiao Yi.
