Chapter 50: Replacing the Chess Pieces
"Where did you go this day and night?" Zhao Jingyuan looked deeply at the eldest daughter he had cultivated and asked unhurriedly.
"It's just as Daddy guessed!" Zhao Qianrou bowed slightly, her voice soft and calm.
"Smack~" A slap with anger landed on her left cheek, her head tilted slightly to the right, closed her eyes, and swallowed the bitterness in her heart.
"Heh~ I didn't know that you, who have always been well-behaved and sensible, could do such a foolish thing, but I misjudged you before, but I didn't expect you to still be a thoughtful!
Brave the snow to deliver a letter, and wait for him to return to the city, what are you going to do, my daughter? Didn't you fall in love with Ning Jun's ugly thing? "The candidate who has spent so much effort to cultivate has once disrupted his own deployment, and Zhao Jingyuan is fake when he says that he is not annoyed.
"What if you like it, how can I ever be worthy of him?" A hint of self-deprecation flashed in Zhao Qianrou's eyes, and her mouth was slightly bitter.
"Since you don't like that position, then give it to your sister! You are now eighteen years old, you should have married someone a long time ago, it happened that the Furui Palace's side came to propose marriage for Sima Zhao the day before yesterday, during this time, you should stay at home for me to prepare for his marriage! After Zhao Jingyuan finished speaking, he threw away his sleeves and turned a deaf ear to the screams behind him.
"Daddy~"
Zhao Qianrou shouted in disbelief, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and her body fell backwards and fainted.
In a simple and elegant room in Zhao's Mansion, Zhao Yuling was in front of a red jade and an ink-colored cloak on the table, and Caiyun, a personal maid, suddenly pushed the door and broke in.
"Miss, the eldest lady is back, and she was called to the study by the lord for a lecture, and the lord also said that he wanted to marry the Furui Palace, and he would marry the eldest lady to Sima Zhao, the son-in-law, half a year later!"
"What do you say? My dad is going to marry my sister to that bastard Sima Zhao! That's impossible! When Zhao Yuling first heard the news, he was taken aback for a moment, but quickly reacted and immediately retorted.
Yes, it can't be! Daddy likes his sister so much, and even thinks about pushing his sister to that high position, how can he marry his sister to Sima Zhao, even if he pushes himself out, he will never be a sister!
"Caiyun, you immediately find a way to find out to me clearly, to see if Daddy really plans to marry Furui Wangfu, and if so, who do you plan to marry?" Thinking that his father might marry him to that gentleman, Zhao Yuling was not calm in an instant, and eagerly pushed Caiyun out.
"Okay, miss, slave maid go now!" Caiyun didn't dare to slack off after hearing the meaning of her young lady's words, and immediately ran out.
It didn't take long for her to run back with the news she had just found.
"Miss, I have inquired clearly, it was the master himself who said it, and it is the eldest lady who wants to marry!" After saying that, Caiyun herself was surprised, who is the eldest lady, she is the first daughter in the capital, and she is the existence that all the children of the nobles of the family want to marry, and the lord wants to match her to such a person!
Although her own young lady and eldest lady are a little dirty on weekdays, the eldest lady is still very good, and if she wants to marry a domineering and romantic person like Sima Zhao, Caiyun still doesn't want to see it.
"Have you found out where she has gone for a day and a night? Or what did you do? This news was confirmed, Zhao Yuling couldn't say what it felt like, it stands to reason that her sister was rejected by her father was what she always wanted to see, but at this moment she was not happy at all.
"This ......"
"Ling'er" Caiyun was interrupted by Zhao Jingyuan, who suddenly appeared, before she could speak, she bowed slightly and withdrew, did the master finally notice Miss?
Zhao Jingyuan thought of his other daughter the moment he gave up his eldest daughter Zhao Qianrou, although he spent most of his energy on Zhao Qianrou over the years, but he was not completely ignorant of his youngest daughter Zhao Yuling.
In the past, he didn't care much about it, but after a closer look at it now, he realized that he had lost his eyes at the beginning, and his little daughter's appearance was not only not weaker than that of the eldest daughter, but even worse.
The eldest daughter's appearance is seven or eight points similar to his deceased wife, with a standard goose egg face, delicate willow eyebrows, and her quiet and bright round eyes, quite gentle and atmospheric, in an alienated and indifferent temperament, always giving people a sense of cold fairy.
The youngest daughter has a petite round face, a small and tall nose, and a pair of autumn eyebrows embedded in the big watery eyes, always revealing a sense of delicate and smart, and occasionally a hint of charm.
If Zhao Jingyuan still felt that it was a pity to give up the chess piece of his eldest daughter before, at this moment, after entering the younger daughter's room, this pity was replaced by surprise.
"In the blink of an eye, my Ling'er has grown so big~" Zhao Jingyuan patted the top of Zhao Yuling's head lovingly, and tears flashed in his eyes.
"Dad~" Zhao Yuling's voice was a little choked, if she remembered correctly, this was the first time her father had been so close to her since her mother died, right?
"In the past, it was my father's fault, I valued your sister too much, but I neglected you a lot, do you blame me?" After all, Zhao Jingyuan is a scheming old fox, and naturally knows that after many years of ignoring it, his daughter will inevitably have a grudge in her heart, so she said these words wisely to explore.
"Yuling is inferior to her sister in all aspects, and her sister should be valued by her father!" Although Zhao Yuling had indeed complained before, when he heard his father's words at this moment, the resentment in his heart also dissipated, and he even secretly blamed himself for being too careful.
Although there was a complaint in her daughter's tone, Zhao Jingyuan was relieved that this was obviously excusing herself, and it seemed that it was too late to gain the trust of her younger daughter.
In the next few days, Zhao Jingyuan spent some time chatting with Zhao Yuling about a little interesting things in her childhood, and accompanied her to eat a few times, and the two slowly got closer.
At this time, although Zhao Yuling was a little smart, she never thought that she had been used as a chess piece by her father, she simply thought that her father had finally seen her excellent side, so she was willing to spend time caring for her more, she was completely intoxicated by the beautiful dream that Zhao Jingyuan had woven for her, and she was even more convinced of his words.
General's Palace
"Ahem~Ahem~"
"General, are you awake?" Hearing the sound, the floating light that was guarding outside the bedroom immediately rushed in.
"Ahem~ What about Liu Jiang?" Xu Mengmeng took a sip of the tea handed by Fuguang, and asked, although his voice was hoarse and ugly, he finally lost that indifference.
"It's been handed over to the Criminal Department, by the way, the emperor said that the general has made a contribution to quelling the chaos this time, and promoted you to the general of the auxiliary country of the second grade, and now in addition to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, the soldiers and horses on the side of Yuncheng also belong to the general."
"Does Liu Jiang have anyone who explains who he is?"
"Not yet!"
"Then wait for him to confess, leave him to me, I will kill him with my own hands, in order to sacrifice Qingli and Chibane and the spirit of the two thousand soldiers in the sky!"
"Will ......"
"I'm tired!" Before he finished speaking, Xu Mengmeng waved his hand and closed his eyes lightly.
Seeing this, Fuguang sighed slightly and walked out.
