Chapter 173: Prevarication

Zhu Youning didn't understand Old Lady Zhu's careful thoughts.

Whether she can see the county lord tomorrow or not, where can she let Zhu Yanfeng come in.

"Brother Feng is well-informed, and he is indeed more suitable than me. It's just that my second uncle also said that it is easy for girls to talk to each other, and the facts have proved that the second uncle's judgment is correct, and I really get along with the county lord. If you let Cousin Feng go this time, the county lord doesn't recognize Cousin Feng, besides, Cousin Feng is a foreign man after all, and the county lord didn't invite him, so it's easy to ease the relationship, if it is unpleasant because of this, I'm afraid it's not good. ”

Zhu Youning's words were reasonable, and Zhu Yanfeng didn't want to get involved in this matter, so he agreed: "Grandfather, grandson thinks that what the ninth sister said is true." It was easy for our family to escape this crisis, and if we made the county lord unhappy because of our grandson's rash going, I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Zhu Huazhang completely disagreed with Zhu Yanfeng's idea.

Zhu Yanfeng is his beloved son, not to mention anything else, but he can afford to describe it in terms of appearance, the age of the county lord and Zhu Yanfeng is also appropriate, if it can become a good thing, this junior's love is agreeable, what can the elder say? Since Zhu Youning and the county lord have inexplicably become friends, why can't such a good springboard be used?

"Aren't you very compatible with the county lord, what do you have to go to the appointment with your cousin?" Zhu Huazhang changed his suspicions, and his smile became a little kinder.

Zhu Youning said with a smile: "I really want to take my cousin with me, if I make an appointment with Li Gongzi this time, I can also take Cousin Feng with me, but I'm afraid that the county lord will not be happy to meet strangers." Besides, 'the words of the master's family are not listening', when persuading the county lord, the second uncle did not dare to let the talented uncle and brother in the family approach, and now if he rashly brings it, in case the county lord is unhappy again, I don't know how to coax people. ”

Zhu Huazhang couldn't imagine that Zhu Youning would use his words just now to block his mouth, and he couldn't help but get angry.

Before the words of reprimand could be spoken, Old Lady Zhu spoke first.

"Well, just go yourself. Our family is now seeking no fault, not merit. It's already good that you don't offend the county lord. The Zhu family is sitting upright, and they are not trying to climb the dragon and the phoenix, so there is no need to catch up so much. Old lady Zhu stood up as she spoke, waved her hand and said, "It's all gone", and went back to rest first.

The people who remained in place looked at each other.

Zhu Youning couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and at this time he could already be sure that Old Lady Zhu just said that, and he must not really want Zhu Yanfeng to go, but to test her attitude. and the county lord suddenly became friends, in the end it is still suspicious.

Zhu Huazhang looked at the back of the old lady Zhu in a daze, this time he was finally able to come back to his senses, just now he was so anxious to plan for Zhu Yanfeng, he must have made his father see the joke.

Zhu Yanfeng turned around with an embarrassed face, hurriedly bowed hands with Zhu Youning and left first.

Zhu Youning adjusted his mood, said goodbye to the second and third uncles with a smile, and left the house to go home.

Standing in front of the gate and taking a deep breath of the cool air of the night, Zhu Youning felt tired and called the thrush and lark who were waiting in the gatehouse to return home.

I thought that the family must have rested at this time, but as soon as I entered the door, I saw that the house was brightly lit, and the bright light was transmitted into the courtyard through the lattice fan pasted with clear paper, and the shadows of the trees in the courtyard and the heroic posture of the stone tables and benches were very long.

"Miss Nine is back!" Xiao Zhangzi said loudly at the door.

As soon as the words fell, Sixteen rushed out of the main house, "Sister, you're back!" Are you okay? ”

"I'm fine." Zhu Youning took her hand and looked at Zhu Huating and Li Tuobei standing in front of the main house.

"Brother Bei, you haven't gone back yet?"

Li Tuobei smiled.

Zhu Huating said: "We have just come back. Come in and talk. ”

Zhu Youning entered the main house for some reason, and was pulled by the Bai family for a good inspection, and then heard the clue from his parents' words.

“…… So you all just got out of here? ”

"yes. It's also thanks to Brother Bei'er's alertness. Zhu Huating still has lingering palpitations, full of disdain and disappointment for the Zhu family's behavior of pushing Zhu Youning out of the top tank.

Zhu Youning said with a smile: "Fortunately, it was a false alarm, I didn't have anything, and the crisis was temporarily resolved." ”

"That's why I'm curious, how did you convince the county lord of Anhe?" Li Tuobei said bluntly: "It's not a secret, I thought you were going to be arrested by the officials, and you were already hiding behind the wall with people, so I was ready to snatch you out as soon as they arrested you." Who knew that you would come out hand in hand like sisters. How the hell do you buy people? ”

Zhu Youning smiled bitterly and said, "Where am I bribing someone, I am threatening her." ”

"Huh?" Li Tuobei was dumbfounded, "Why did you threaten her?" ”

Zhu Youning had no choice but to tell what happened at that time in detail.

Zhu Huating and Bai Shi were already stunned when they heard it. Li Tuobei also had an expression of swallowing a raw egg.

Bai Shi muttered: "So you and the county lord have not become friends at all, but enemies?" ”

Zhu Youning nodded helplessly.

"How can this be done?" Bai Shi was anxious, and cold sweat broke out, "We are small households, the county lord is a relative of the emperor, and now he has become an enemy, if the county lord comes to the door, how can we be good?" ”

Li Tuobei frowned slightly, looked at the Bai family, and then at Zhu Youning, and lowered his eyes and was silent.

Zhu Huating patted Bai's shoulder comfortingly and said, "You don't have to be nervous, Fu Ya'er has her own way to solve it." ”

Bai's tears were about to flow, "Hey, Fu Ya'er is too inconsiderate, people like us have offended the emperor's relatives, if they are deliberately retaliated, won't the family be finished." ”

"The situation at that time was urgent, if Fu Ya'er didn't do anything, she would definitely be pushed out by the old lady to take the blame, and then our family would also suffer. You are a mother, and you should be steady in your worries. Zhu Huating persuaded in a serious voice.

Bai's eyes were hot, tears finally fell, he looked at Zhu Youning, covered his mouth and whimpered and went into the house.

Zhu Huating looked at Bai's back helplessly, then squatted down and hugged Zhu Youning in his arms, patted her back and said: "Dad knows that you are helpless, your mother has always been so emotionally unstable since she gave birth to your younger brother, she is often sad and sad, and it is easy to be sad or angry at a little thing, your mother is scared tonight, don't worry about her, she will understand when she turns around and calms down." ”

Zhu Youning smiled: "I know, my mother is just scared, as long as my father coaxes her." ”

Zhu Huating was amused, hugged Zhu Youning and shook it, "She is an adult, she can't always be so weatherless, let herself be quiet, and Xu will figure it out." Tell your dad first, how do you want to give people an antidote? ”
