Chapter Ninety-Five: Pleading
The sun was shining, but Xie Qingning's room was unspeakably dull.
Xie Qingning raised his head slightly, and looked at the girl who walked in with Xue Hongchen in surprise, her face was covered with a face scarf, although she couldn't see the real appearance, but she could see a little bit of Wu's breath from the gentle big eyes and delicate forehead, she was somewhat similar to Wu Fuyu.
"Little boy, I'm really sorry to bother you today, but we are also desperate to make this decision, and I hope that Gongzi will not blame. Of course, if Childe listens to our intentions and still refuses to help, we have nothing to say, just ask Childe to help hide it, and don't bother the third lady. Today's Xue Hongchen is full of worries, which is completely opposite to yesterday's free and easy, as if he has changed people.
If it weren't for the incident that Xie Qingning found out last night, which made her wary of Xue Hongchen, I am afraid that she would really be deceived by him today and let him be dragged onto the thief ship.
Therefore, she just asked lightly, "I'm sorry, I didn't understand what Brother Tai meant, and also, who is the third young lady that Your Excellency is referring to?" Could it be the third lady of the Wu family? Shouldn't today be the day for the Wu family to recruit sons-in-law? If you really want to help the third lady, you should actively respond to the battle, win the ring competition, and become the rightful son-in-law of the Wu Mansion, why do you need to come to me for help? ”
Hearing this, Xue Hongchen's complexion changed slightly, but the woman sitting next to him had slightly red eyes, as if she wanted to cry.
Xie Qingning is still dressed as a woman today, so it is not good to look at a girl many times, so she can only sigh, deliberately pick up the teacup in front of her and take a sip, waiting for the other party to speak.
After a while, Xue Hongchen carefully looked around, and determined that this courtyard was very remote, and there were Zheng and smoke and rain guards outside the door, so he said in a deep voice, "Let me introduce you, this is indeed the third miss of the Wu family, and the reason why I entered the Wu Mansion as an elder of the guest secretary is also because of the accidental encounter with the third miss outside Dangyang City ten years ago." ”
It turned out that Xue Hongchen and the third lady of the Wu family, Miaozhen, did see each other ten years ago, in order to pursue My Fair Lady, Xue Hongchen gave up a carefree life of casual cultivation, and resolutely joined the Wu family and became a guest elder.
However, Xue Hongchen originally thought that they were in love with each other, and they had their own determination to give up everything tied to the Wu family, and they would eventually become a family member and realize a good story in the world.
Unexpectedly, his relationship with Wu Miaozhen was opposed by the whole clan, not for anything else, but because the head of the Wu family had no son, and the eldest daughter and second daughter both married into the other two immortal cultivation families in Nanzhou City, perfectly tying the Wu family with the Qu family and the Kuang family together, one glory and one loss. The two daughters are married well, and the young daughter naturally wants to stay in the Wu family, just waiting to accept the family's century-old inheritance in the future.
A person like Xue Hongchen who doesn't have any foundation and family strength, of course Wu Fusheng can't look down on it, and the most important thing is that his Tianzi is not very good, he is almost forty years old, he seems to be young, but in fact, his cultivation is only in the late stage of Yudan, and there is no sign of breakthrough for ten years, I am afraid that I don't know when and what month he will be able to reach the realm of Yuan Ying. This congenital disadvantage completely excluded him from the Wu family, and he was almost no longer the object of consideration, but Wu Miaozhen did not marry him, and he rebelled against the family many times, which made Wu Fusheng more and more disgusted.
The Wu family's recruitment of sons-in-law, to put it bluntly, is to dispel Xue Hongchen's wishful thinking, so that Wu Miaozhen obediently accepts the family's arrangement, and the person they are appointed to be a side branch disciple of the Yueyang Jin family, if the marriage can be successful, the Wu family will reach an alliance with the Jin family again, which will only make their future status and glory more stable, and form a terrifying force in the entire Nanzhou.
Hearing this, Xie Qingning finally understood why the Wu family rose so fast, and dared to love the glory obtained by selling her daughter, which really made her despised.
can be thought of at a deeper level, the Ye clan will send people to Dangyang, I am afraid that it is worried that the immortal cultivation families in Nanzhou will form a line and form a force that is difficult to balance. Could this be the real purpose of the Six Princes' trip?
Xie Qingning was silent for a long time after listening to the story before asking, "What do you want me to do?" ”
Hearing this, Xue Hongchen and Wu Miaozhen were overjoyed, and suddenly they both got up and knelt down in front of the table.
"What is this?" Xie Qingning hurriedly got up and got out of the way, and asked unhappily.
"Childe, if you are willing to help us this time, you will be our life-saving benefactor, the great kindness is unforgettable, if you have any requirements, we will do our best to achieve it." This time, it was not Xue Hongchen who promised, but Wu Miaozhen, who had been silent.
Xie Qingning thought for a moment before asking, "Third Miss, have you thought clearly?" If it is according to your father's wishes, you only need to complete this marriage, and you can enjoy the glory and wealth of your life, on the contrary, you may be rejected by the family, expelled from the Yang or light, and you may be hunted down by the Wu family and the Jin family, do you really regret it? ”
The young lady of the Wu family raised her head suddenly, her eyes were extremely resolute and said, "I don't seek glory and wealth in this life, nor do I seek fame in the world, I just want to live with my beloved, share my white head, and hope that my son will be fulfilled." ”
These words made Xie Qingning's heart slightly shocked, she never thought that a young lady raised in the boudoir would have such insight and thoughts, if she didn't live again, I am afraid it would not be possible to do Wu Miaozhen, she would rather give up the entire Wu family than tie the knot with Xue Hongchen, it is really speechless.
However, she remembered the secret she overheard last night, the agreement reached between the six princes and Xue Hongchen, after all, she did not agree immediately, but said, "I still need to consider this matter, after all, it is a major matter related to the Wu family, I am just a passerby, there is no need to provoke such a big matter, otherwise the third lady will go back first, and there are still some things I want to say to Xue Gongzi." ”
Wu Miaozhen was stunned for a moment before turning her head to look at Xue Hongchen, who smiled at her slightly, with a warm luster in her eyes, which was extremely reassuring.
After she got up to say goodbye, Xie Qingning did not help Xue Hongchen to get up, but sneered and said, "I think Xue Gongzi is not a casual cultivator, but more suitable for being a businessman." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Xue Hongchen was confused when he heard it, and couldn't help but ask.
Xie Qingning slowly sat back at the table, looked at him fixedly, and said, "Your Excellency not only stole the third young lady's heart, but also came up with this trick of Li Dai Taozhuang, but you want me to win the champion, and then exchange identities with you on the wedding night, so as to achieve your purpose of cooking raw rice and ripe rice, and force the Wu family to recognize your uncle's identity?" But have you ever thought that if I don't get the throne of the Lord? Or even if your goal is achieved, the head of the Wu family still refuses to agree, and instead kills you on the spot? ”
"Childe is really smart, in fact, I haven't thought about this," Xue Hongchen pondered for a while before answering, "It's just that the situation is urgent, and I don't have any other way, and I just hope to be able to stay with Miaozhen for the rest of my life." Besides, I also laid a back road, as long as the raw rice is cooked and cooked, naturally someone will make the decision for us and force the Wu family to agree, which will not bother the son. As for the matter of the ring, although it is mainly based on martial arts, the last level is a literary exam, and the question is from Miaozhen, so naturally only your Excellency knows the answer, so you don't have to worry. ”
