Chapter 42: Old Taijun Xiao's Deadline is Approaching!
Half a month later, the Xiao Mansion has always been quiet, and the scorching summer sun seems to be unable to penetrate this heavy sadness.
In the green bamboo garden, the wind is blowing fiercely tonight!
An old woman who described her as withered was lying quietly on the bed, still not sleepy when she arrived.
The silver threads, which were originally meticulously combed, were a little scattered, and the eyes that were bright in the past were also a little hollow.
The eyes are blue and black, and his face is pale, as if he is about to die!
This is the generation of female generals who dominated the world decades ago, and now they are like ordinary women, waiting for death.
His eldest son, Xiao Daoyuan, died on the battlefield with his wife ten years ago, and his bones have not been found. Only the eldest son Xiao Wenqing was left to be a proton in Kyoto, the second son Xiao Wenge served in the army, and the youngest daughter Xiao Wenjun stayed alone in Lanling.
His second son-in-law, Xiao Daocheng, the second master, is an official outside, and he is indifferent to the Xiao family, and even with his own family, he rarely moves around.
The concubine Xiao Sanye Xiao Daoshan's family of five, in just a few months, all died in Huangquan, and the only Xiao Shurou left behind also said goodbye to the Xiao family after Xiao Wenhe's funeral, and went to Nanyang alone, without any news.
Looking at the old grandmother in front of her, Xiao Wenjun felt a pain in her heart, and the tears that were about to flow out were forced back into her eyes. She took the decoction handed by Mama Zhao, picked up the spoon and fed it to the person on the bed.
"No matter how much medicine you drink, it's useless." The old lady gently pushed away the medicine bowl, "Wenjun, grandmother's deadline is approaching, there are some things that should be told to you, cough cough ......"
Xiao Wenjun caressed the old lady and smoothed her out, but he didn't say a word.
"What you've been doing these months has made my grandmother's heart feel like a mirror. Although Sanfang is not my own child, it is also the bloodline of the Xiao family, they were sorry for you a lot before, but now everyone in this room is almost dead, your anger can be eliminated? ”
"Grandmother, granddaughter is not angry, I just took back what I should have taken!"
"Your mother's dowry has also been taken back a lot, so I advise you not to pursue it further. Right now you're too weak to know how strong your opponent is, don't put yourself in it! ”
"Don't bully young people into poverty! Does the grandmother know who her granddaughter's opponent is? ”
The old lady looked at her solemnly, "I won't tell you, it's for your good!" ”
"Grandmother, I only took back half of the dowry left by my mother, in fact, I have already found some eyebrows." Xiao Wenjun said quietly: "It's the second uncle, do you say yes?" ”
After speaking, Xiao Wenjun stared at the old lady and found that her face did not change in the slightest. In fact, Xiao Wenjun didn't find any evidence, he just wanted to deceive the old lady, but he didn't expect Jiang to be old and spicy!
"If my granddaughter doesn't check, will the other party let me go?"
"How can I comfort my parents' souls in heaven?"
"Grandmother, is this the Xiao family you want?"
The old lady waved his hand and said, "That's it." ”
The old lady motioned for Xiao Wenjun to sit on the edge of the bed, leaned on Xiao Wenjun's body with her upper body, and continued.
"Originally, I thought that you were soft and unsuitable for survival in a complex family, so I agreed to the family business of the third prince Yu Wenyao, and you can be regarded as having something to rely on."
"The biological mother of the third prince has a low status, and he is a humble gentleman, with a noble character, cautious in words and deeds, and more importantly, he never participates in the battle for succession. Indeed, it is a good match for you. ”
Yu Wenyao? Is it a good match?
Xiao Wenjun sneered in his heart, when she was down, he descended on him like the sun in the sky, and after marrying her, he regained the glory of the Xiao family in the past.
It's just that the Xiao family is a pawn he uses to pave the way, and this good is just a plan he painstakingly managed, he came in a hurry and went faster! Less than half a year after she ascended to the throne, she and the Xiao family both fell into the abyss, and even their children were destroyed together.
"Grandmother, granddaughter's marriage, make your own decisions!" Xiao Wenjun's tone was gentle, but after listening carefully, there was a murderous aura!
The old lady turned her head sideways and looked at Xiao Wenjun, unable to speak for a long time.
The old lady understood what Xiao Wenjun meant and sighed. "Is it because of Wang Jiuyuan?"
"Grandmother, how do you know?" Xiao Wenjun's heart was shocked, and he blurted out what he was thinking.
"That kid often climbs over the wall to your yard in the middle of the night, but fortunately he didn't do anything out of the ordinary, otherwise he would have been shot as a hedgehog."
"My granddaughter didn't think about being with Wang Jiuyuan." After speaking, Xiao Wenjun felt a pain in his heart, Yu Wenyao did not die for a day, and he was not worthy of feelings.
The old lady ignored Xiao Wenjun's answer and continued: "The Wang family is quite complicated, the forces are intertwined, and the Wang family supports the five princes. ”
"Now that Your Majesty's Holy Body is not safe, the dispute between the five princes and the eldest prince is becoming more and more acute! Have you ever considered that if the five princes are defeated, the royal family will definitely fall into a catastrophe, or the third prince is more reliable. ”
Xiao Wenjun said in his heart: Yu Wenyao is really scheming and has deceived everyone in the world! In the previous life, the eldest prince and the fifth prince fell into the hands of Yu Wenyao one after another.
On the eve of ascending the throne, these two people knelt at Yu Wenyao and begged for mercy at their feet, where did they have the courage to be the son of heaven?
"Grandmother, granddaughter's marriage, make your own decisions!" Xiao Wenjun's attitude was resolute, without the slightest hesitation!
The old lady sat up straight, her eyes regained a little brilliance, and she glanced Xiao Wenjun up and down, "Divorce is not a trivial matter, this is a slap in the face of His Majesty, if you are not careful, you will be killed!" ”
"When your father was fighting on the battlefield, he single-handedly rescued a person, who was in the military department. If you bring a token to him, he will definitely help him and win the opportunity to face the saint! ”
After speaking, he waved his hand and asked Mama Zhao to take out a box and put it aside.
"Grandmother, so you're ready!" The tears in Xiao Wenjun's eyes could no longer be controlled, she never thought that her grandmother would be so open-minded in the matter of divorce.
However, Xiao Wenjun, who is a reincarnated person, knows that this military department Shangshu has long been seized by Yu Wenyao and has become the biggest contributor to Yu Wenyao's success, and this person is inseparable from the death of his parents!
"You're my granddaughter, how can I not know your mind?"
Xiao Wenjun nodded vigorously, unable to bear to tell his grandmother the truth.
"Even if you want to get out of the marriage, you have to be restrained when you get to Kyoto!" The old lady's expression was complicated, "Your current temperament, since the accident that day, it seems to be a different person." ”
"What does Grandmother think, Wen Jun is like this now, how is it?" Xiao Wenjun looked at the old lady's eyes and looked at her fixedly.
After a long time, the old lady slowly showed a smile, and his spirit seemed to be much better, "Resolute and decisive, you belong to the momentum of the Xiao family." ”
"Thank you grandmother for your compliment."
The old lady laughed three times, "Mama Zhao, take my armor!" ”
