Chapter 373: An Uneasy Situation
On the third day of the second lunar month, the regent went out and returned to Zhaojing, and that night he sent someone to Shaofu to spread the word, saying that he invited Shao Wanyun to think of his father and invited Shaojiang to go over for dinner together.
Shaojiang knew that this was just an excuse for the regent to use Shao Wanyun as an excuse, and he must have something to do, but despite this, Shaojiang still went.
The palace had already prepared a table of sumptuous dishes, and the regent greeted him with a smile, and he couldn't see anything unusual, Huo Yuchu and Shao Wanyun were also by his side.
Everyone sat down, and the regent was laughing and talking with Shaojiang at the beginning, saying some inconsequential things, and then talking about the floods in the south, Shao Wanyun sat aside and listened, and did not interject.
When the dinner came to an end, the regent spoke, "Brother Shao, I went back to Zhaojing today, and I heard some gossip, I know that the prince and you are not on good terms, but it will not make things difficult for the dog and Wanyun, right?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces were different, especially Shao Wanyun, who was already difficult to see.
Those gossips Shao Wanyun knew what it was, but the matter between her and Dieyi was known to the prince a while ago, and Dieyi was the prince's person, so some ugly gossip spread. The most feared rumor is that the speaker has no intention and the listener has a heart, if everyone really believes those words that catch the wind and catch the shadows, then Shao Wanyun is now the daughter-in-law of the regent, where is she going?
Shao Wanyun, who had been silent, couldn't stop talking at the moment, and immediately wanted to speak, but Huo Yuchu took the lead, "Father, hearing is false, you can't be gullible and gossip." I am still married to Wanyun, how can Wanyun's friendship with me be fake? ”
Shaojiang also said solemnly, "Regent, you and I have been brothers for so many years, don't you believe me?" ”
The regent sighed, everyone misunderstood what he meant, and waved his hand, "Brother Shao, you and I are brothers from birth to death, how can I not believe you?" I mean, what is he doing this for? You and I both know who he is, what does it have to do with him when the dog marries your beloved daughter? Could it be that you don't want you and me to have two surnames? But he has known the relationship between you and me a long time ago, if he is afraid that the power of you and me will expand day by day, then he should take action against you and me, why bother the two children? In the face of the situation, they are all insignificant people. ”
The regent has seen the clues, he and Shaojiang have been brotherly for ten years, and he naturally won't say anything too ugly, but what he wants today is a fact. Until now, Shao Jiang couldn't hide it, and replied helplessly, "It's that Shao Wanyun was ignorant before, and he fell in love with one of the prince's subordinates." ”
Immediately, the regent understood everything, and all the doubts in his mind were solved. However, this embarrassed Shao Wanyun, she got up, bowed to the regent, and said, "Father, it was indeed Shao Wanyun who was stupid before. But Wanyun didn't mean to hide it, Wanyun sincerely wanted to marry her husband, but Wanyun also knew her own mistakes, if her father minded this, Wanyun was willing to let you get rid of this marriage contract and find another good woman to be her daughter-in-law. ”
When Sher Zhengwen heard this, he immediately became anxious, "Wanyun, do you know what you're talking about?" ”
Shao Wanyun looked at Huo Yuchu in embarrassment, her face was a little sad, but things couldn't be changed, she had nothing else to do. The Yin family and the Shao family are both high-ranking officials, and the two marriages involve too much and everything she can't control.
Huo Yuchu immediately got up and resolutely said to the regent, "Father, it's rare for a son to like a woman, and a son will not marry Wanyun in this life." ”
Shao Wanyun raised her eyes slightly, looking at Huo Yuchu at this moment with her residual eyes, the anxiety and sincerity on her face made her heart warm.
The regent frowned, and waved his hand towards Shao Wanyun and Huo Yuchu, "Who said that I was going to be exempted from this marriage, don't worry, you two children, sit down first." ”
Huo Yuchu was only at this time, the two of them took their seats, and the regent said to Shaojiang, "Brother Shao, since this is the case, we can't sit still." ”
Shaojiang raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, "What does it mean according to the regent?" ”
The regent pondered for a moment and replied, "You and I both know the prince's temper, and since he has the intention of hindering, he will definitely turn the world upside down. ”
Shaojiang thought about it carefully, there is indeed this possibility, and then he will lose all his face, but he is afraid that the situation will be difficult to control.
Shaojiang immediately asked, "What is the regent's plan?" ”
The regent sat there and said, "As long as we do something without the prince, by the time he knows, the wood will be done." ”
Shaojiang nodded approvingly, pondered for a long time, and said, "It just so happens that a few months ago, the imperial court obtained a few pieces of land in Minli, and no one has been idle to take care of it. ”
After hearing this, the regent thought about it carefully, nodded and said, "This plan is feasible, the prince has always wanted to take over these places, he will not refuse, let's take advantage of the days when he leaves Zhaojing, and quickly get things done." As for the palace, I will find a way, there are my people in the palace. ”
Shaojiang bowed slightly, "Okay, tomorrow morning, I will start Your Majesty." Time is not much, so we have to hurry. ”
The regent breathed a sigh of relief when he felt the pressure, "Brother Shao, don't worry, you and I have joined forces, when have you ever been defeated?" ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and each drank the wine in his glass.
After dinner, Shao Wanyun followed Shaojiang out of the palace.
When he got into the carriage, Shaojiang's tone was a little dissatisfied, "Wanyun, do you know the horror of the prince at the moment?" ”
Shao Wanyun was silent, sitting there with an embarrassed face, she was just a simple and ignorant lady at the beginning, and now she knows the mystery.
After a long time, Shaojiang said again, "This family business is based on the friendship between my father and the regent for decades, otherwise it will definitely be over." You provoked someone who shouldn't be provoked, as long as it was something that his prince wanted to trouble, which mansion do you think would dare to marry you? ”
This Shao Wanyun has long realized that the Regent Mansion married her at the risk of the prince's hatred in the future, which shows how deep the friendship between the Yin family and the Shao family is, and it is even more suspicious to know how much Huo Yuchu loves her. The more this is the case, the more Shao Wanyun regrets not being at the beginning, if she had understood this earlier, how could it be like that?
Shao Wanyun bit her lip with difficulty, closed her eyes sadly, took a deep breath and slowly spit it out, she expected that in this troubled world, just because of the existence of the prince, she must be overcoming obstacles.
And the reason why Shaojiang will be in the same stream with the regent is mostly because of the treason of the spoon, after all, he does not know the true fact of Shao Ziqing's treason, but the Shao family has been implicated a lot, and the general trend is inevitable, and he has no choice.
