The Mansion of the Duke of Wei.

After Ji Nanrou came back, she locked herself in the bedroom, and from day to night, no one knocked on the door.

The maid was in a hurry outside the door with the porridge, knocking on the door from time to time to call the young lady, but there was no movement inside.

She had seen several sons passing by nearby, but no one had ever come to care about the young lady. My sister's status in the house seems to be noble, and dignity also means loneliness.

"What's wrong with Rou'er?"

Wei Guogong came to visit after hearing the report from his subordinates, and found that the door of his daughter's room was closed, and only one maid was guarding outside.

The maid hurriedly said: "Back to the master, the young lady has locked herself in the room after seeing Wu Gongzi come back, and it has been several hours." ”

Wei Guogong stepped forward and knocked on the door, "Rou'er, it's Dad." ”

There was still no sound inside.

Wei Guogong didn't get angry after eating the closed door, beckoned to send the maid away, and sighed outside the door: "Rou'er, Dad knows that you are complaining about Dad, this matter should not have pushed you out, but there is no way to do it." ”

"Daddy really wants to marry his daughter to that death row inmate?"

An indignant sentence came from inside the door, and there was a slight sobbing sound in the voice, which showed that the person who spoke was crying.

"Rou'er, this is a delaying tactic, how could Dad marry you to a prisoner, rest assured, Dad has already made arrangements, he can't wait for that time."

As soon as Wei Guogong's voice fell, there was no movement inside.

He raised his hand to hold on to the closed door, and said slowly: "Rou'er, I have wronged you this time, if you are willing to listen to your father, you are a good daughter of your father, and in the future, you will listen to your father whatever you want, everything depends on your will, and your father will never force you again." ”

The door suddenly opened, and Ji Nanrou stood inside the door, looking straight into his father's eyes, "Including the daughter's marriage, it also depends on the daughter?" ”

"Marriage?"

Hearing Ji Nanrou mention this matter, the guilt on Wei Guogong's face immediately disappeared.

"Dad, my daughter is a woman, there is no major event in this life except for marriage, my daughter has never asked her father for anything, and I hope that my father will fulfill this wish." The tears in the corners of Ji Nanrou's eyes had not yet dried, and after speaking, a few more tears rolled down, and she knelt down with the falling teardrops, "Dad, count your daughter begging you, don't use your daughter's marriage as a means to entrap anyone." ”

"Bastard!" Wei Guogong no longer had the previous pleasant face, and his expression was extremely gloomy, "Rou'er, you listen to your father, you are the daughter of the Ji family, since you were born, the reason for marriage is not your own, Dad said to listen to you, referring to those irrelevant things, your marriage is the top priority, Dad will carefully consider it and find you a good family." ”

"The Ye family is the good family that my father refers to?" Ji Nanrou laughed, "He's just a puppet raised by his father, what's so good?" ”

"Ye Zhi's conduct ......"

"Conduct? What kind of character can he have if he can ruthlessly betray a person who has treated him well for several years? I heard that Mei Xiaoren forgave him, and it seems that one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, which is even more difficult to part with than his own brothers. ”

"Shut up!" Wei Guogong reprimanded.

Ji Nanrou said: "What you fancy is only his family background, his family background is more responsive than the military talisman, you want to use your daughter to tie him firmly by your side, so that he can always be used by you!" ”

"Childe."

When Wei Guogong was furious, he heard the voice of a subordinate behind him, and he looked back, and his heart tightened.

Ji Nanrou also saw the person coming, but she didn't feel embarrassed, she was telling the truth, and it was probably providence that Ye Zhi heard it.

Wei Guoping beckoned calmly, "Ye Zhi, come here." ”

Ye Zhi didn't have half of the sadness and anger on his face, and as soon as he came over, he listened to his father-in-law explain to him: "Ye Zhi, what Rou'er said just now ......"

He smiled and arched his hand, "What Miss Ji said is unintentional, the child will not go to his heart, no matter what the relationship between the child and the father-in-law is, the child will be loyal to the father-in-law." ”

Wei Guogong nodded with satisfaction, "Good boy, my father-in-law didn't mistake you. ”

"The child came to his father-in-law to ask how Wu Xian is doing."

"He's promised to keep his mouth shut, thanks to Rou'er." Wei Guogong looked at Ji Nanrou and found that she was still kneeling on the ground, so he ordered, "Get up quickly." ”

In front of outsiders, face is important, Ji Nanrou is no longer obsessed with what to beg for, she gets up expressionlessly, and her demeanor is still dignified.

"Then the child will rest assured, the child will go to Beiying to be on duty, and he will retire first."

Ye Zhi didn't look at anyone from the time she came over to the time she left, not everyone thought that she was better than a fairy, and they flocked to her, and her pretentiousness even made him evil.

When Ye Zhi walked away, Wei Guogong retracted his gaze and said to Ji Nan: "Rou'er, your mind father knows, but you'd better die of this heart, this time Daddy's loss of soldiers is all due to him, Dad will give him a big gift back, don't say that Dad won't allow it, I'm afraid he won't read any more feelings for the same family, let alone like you." ”

Ji Nanrou was shocked: "What is Dad going to do?" ”

"You don't need to know." Wei Guo said nothing, brushed his sleeves and left.

Three days later, Mei Xiaoren tried the murder case in the Shangjing Prefecture Office, and Wu Xian confessed to the crime, saying that he was the only one.

In accordance with the laws of Daning, she sentenced him to capital punishment and handed him over to the Criminal Department for final trial.

The case was closed, and Mei Xiaoren was relieved. In order to reward her for her hard work, the Prime Minister specially invited her to Drunken Immortal Residence for a good meal after she finished trying the case.

Scholars of the Guardian also came to join in the fun.

Wu Xian deserves to be happy, but he can't fast the hearts of scholars. The hot potato that used to be is no longer there, but for the scholar, it can't be treated as if something didn't happen, because no matter whether she sentences Wu Xian to life or death, the scholar Wei is already alone.

Gu Chuyu also paid attention to Wei Shuying, the wine in his hand had not yet been drunk, Wei Shuying had already drunk several glasses in a row, his mouth was happy, and his heart was bitter or sweet, like a person who knows how warm and cold he drinks.

Wei Shuying took another sip of the wine in the glass, put down the wine glass and said: "Xiao Yu'er, Wenhua Hall received the letter of state from Xia Guo before the dispersal of the palace, and before I could send it to you, the monarch of Xia who was shot and wounded by you died, and the new monarch just succeeded to the throne." ”

"And then?"

"According to the rules, we should send an envoy over to congratulate him, don't let the new emperor think that we don't take him seriously, not to mention that now you have internal worries, don't have external troubles."

Gu Chuyu asked directly: "Who do you want to go?" ”

Wei Shuying picked up the folding fan and knocked on herself.

"Do you want to go out for a walk?" Mei Xiaoren asked.

The scholar sighed, "Sort of." ”

"I promise you can, but when you go back to Beijing, you need to help me bring Xiao Xiao's father." Gu Chuyu tilted his head closer to Mei Xiaoren again, and the corners of his lips raised slightly, "The time is just right." ”

Mei Xiaoren smiled, knowing that he was referring to the time when the plum blossoms bloomed this year, it seemed that there was still half a year, but it was almost the same to go back and forth between Xuannan and Shangjing.

Wei Shuying understood what Xiao Yu'er wanted, and couldn't help but knock her head with a folding fan, and replied helplessly: "Okay." ”
