298. Return the token
Wan Ning remembered the large bouquet of flowers that Brother Ziang gave her, and remembered that her room must be full of flowers, so she returned to the Li Mansion early. Sitting next to the vase, in a daze, with a smile on his face from time to time.
Seeing her happy appearance, Yan'er knew that it was time to return the token that the young master gave her. Miss is really, obviously can't let go, and she is still so impulsive. It was the most precious gift she had ever thought of as her life, and she must have regretted it from time to time when she returned it.
She put the jade pendant in front of Wan Ning: "Miss, what do you think this is?" ”
"Why did you give it to me? Why didn't he give it to me himself? ”
"Miss, didn't you think that it was the young master who never left?"
After Wan Ning was taken aback for a moment, she said, "Yan'er, you are really too bold, you don't listen to me, and you actually make your own decisions. It's that you didn't pay him back at all! ”
"Miss Wan, the slave maid naturally listens to you, and listens to what you have in your heart. It's against your heart to really let go of Young Master Gao. ”
Wan Ning picked up the jade pendant, as if admiring a treasure. After a while, she supported her chin with one hand, and her eyes turned to complain: "I'll always be the one who accompanies him all the way, but can't stop him from looking at the scenery, right?" ”
Yan'er kneaded her shoulder a few times and said, "Miss, the young master is sincere to you. As for looking at the scenery, men love to play. ”
"Where he loves to play, he has changed his mind. Yan'er, you always speak for him. ”
"Miss, Yan'er is wholeheartedly thinking about you. Before the master died, he handed you over to the young master. The slave and maid are even more respectful of the master's orders. ”
"If one day, I can't compare to other women, will he not want me?"
"No, it won't. The young master promised the master that he would take care of you for the rest of your life. Miss, don't be cranky. Yan'er rubbed her shoulder, leaned over, and said, "Every time you go back to the house, the people will notify the young master in time." We'll just wait here for him for a while, okay? ”
Wan Ning knew that her mind was being seen through, and her face turned red all of a sudden. "Yan'er!"
Yan'er laughed happily.
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded at the door: "What did you say?" So happy. ”
The two looked over together, and it was Brother Ziang who came.
"Back to the young master, I haven't seen you for one night, and Miss Wan is worried about you. This is not carrying a jade pendant in his arms, and he is still thinking about why people haven't come yet? ”
Wan Ning glanced at her: "Yan'er, you are talking nonsense again." ”
"Why is the slave talking nonsense? It's true that the young lady is holding a jade pendant in her hand, and she can't get rid of it. ”
Wan Ning immediately hid the jade pendant behind her.
"Miss, is it too late for you to hide now?" Yan'er smiled and said, "The slave and maid go out to do other things, and you two will talk slowly." ”
Gao Ziang had a smile on his face, at this time, he had already been moved by Wan Ning. moved a stool, sat in front of Wan Ning, and wrapped her whole body in his arms.
"Brother, I'm very happy today."
"Tell me about it."
"Because the most precious gift is back."
The most precious gift? Gao Ziang pondered for a long time, Wanning should be talking about herself, right? "Silly girl, I've always been there for you, but you always kick me away."
Wan Ning leaned on his shoulder for a long time, found the most comfortable position again, and then said in a low voice: "Brother, I have something to tell you." ”
"Needless to say, I know it all."
Wan Ning was stunned: "What do you know?" ”
Gao Ziang did not answer her.
"Whatever you know, you know is you know, I say yes I say. I don't like the way the two of us look like each other. ”
"Okay, just say it, I'll listen." Gao Ziang responded.
"It was I who revealed to the emperor that my uncle had befriended foreign officials, and the evidence was obtained from the Gao Mansion. Last night, when I was talking to the emperor, he asked me for evidence. I knew that I shouldn't deceive the king, so I gave him the evidence. If the emperor blames my uncle heavily, I will beg the emperor to spare him. ”
Gao Ziang was not surprised, but he was more sure of the guesses and thoughts in his heart, and then a few sighs sounded. After a long time, he asked: "Sister Wan, in addition to returning all the property of the Li family, what else do you want your father to do?" ”
"My uncle did bad things to my father back then, and instructed Zuo Linghong to go to the emperor to list his father's guilt and wronged his father. I don't know if the emperor's mind is swayed by him, but I don't think my uncle should do this. At that time, our two families were already quasi-in-laws, and my sister thought that my uncle should not be like this. ”
"What else?"
"In order to plunder the property of the Li family, my uncle framed my father, which is disrespectful to the deceased. Of course, I hope that my father's reputation will be restored, and I also hope that my uncle can go to my father's grave to apologize, which is also accumulating virtue for my uncle. I now know my father's good intentions, he knows his uncle too well, he had already expected everything before his death, but he couldn't do anything about it. I didn't complain to my uncle, only I cared about me. Or he hopes that the property of the Li family will be assigned to his uncle's name, so that the Gao family will look at the face of the property and treat me better. But how could he not care about his reputation? ”
"Yes, Uncle is great. But we who are alive are to give him justice. Right and wrong, black and white, everything should be clear. Even if the property of the Li family is not assigned to your father's name, our Gao family will be good to you. ”
Hearing her brother say this, Wan Ning was instantly moved and hugged him suddenly.
"I will do my best to convince my father to meet all your requests."
Wan Ning still hugged him tightly: "Brother, am I asking too much?" ”
"Silly girl, how can it be excessive? It's my father who is sorry for the Li family. Even if my father is not sorry for the Li family, you, as the prospective daughter-in-law of the Gao family, have the right to make any request. Otherwise, how can you marry me? ”
Wan Ning let go of him, she stared at the jade pendant that was still in her hand, and said with a little resentment: "Who said I was going to marry you?" Merry young master. ”
"You're remembering something unhappy again."
Wan Ning stroked the jade pendant and said meaningfully: "There are other people in our relationship, just like a woman who has lost her virginity and can never get it back." ”
When Gao Ziang heard this, he laughed.
After a while, Wan Ning helped him up and asked helplessly, "Have you laughed enough?" I'm so sad about it, and you still laugh! ”
"What kind of analogy are you playing?" He grabbed Wan Ning, tapped her forehead lightly with his fingers, and finally said in a serious tone, "This analogy you made is inappropriate. As long as our hearts are together, there is no problem that cannot be solved. ”
"Hmm." Wan Ning hugged him again, "But, brother, I think I should tell my uncle in person." Why don't you say it first? See what his attitude is. Find another opportune moment to explain my request to my uncle. ”
"Okay."
"Brother, you say, what is the emperor going to do with his uncle?"
Gao Ziang sighed lightly: "This, I don't know." ”
"Uncle originally contributed to the imperial court, and your Gao family was also widely implicated. There are Zhou Cairen in the palace, as well as the support of the respected Taifu Xie, and they have to take care of their face. If the emperor wants to reuse you, he will not let the Gao family recover...... Anyway, if he is severely punished, I will definitely intercede. ”
His voice was deep: "Thank you, Wanning. ”
