Chapter 298: Uncle, Spare Me
Chapter 298: Uncle, Spare Me
"Or is the prince jealous?" Gu Xiao asked, his chin in his hand.
"Do you want to die?" Xiao Jue looked at him.
"Be polite to me. If I am willing, I think it will be easy to destroy the only bond between you and the county lady." Gu Xiao tilted his head and smiled, then stood up and prepared to leave, feeling very proud.
"Oh, really? Then I can tell my third brother-in-law in the general's mansion in advance that someone has bad intentions towards him. Oh, bad intentions. Do you think he will allow you to get close? Don't go against me with this status, otherwise I will make him disgust you. It is much easier than you destroying the relationship between me and Wen Jiu, isn't it?" Xiao Jue sat there, the attitude of a superior made people want to surrender unconsciously, but who is he, Gu Xiao? He is a veteran of two dynasties.
He stood there, without looking back, leaving behind a sentence: "It all depends on your ability."
"Master, what do you mean? Is he still trying to sow discord between you and the Crown Prince's wife? He, he, is against the Third Young Master Su..." Qingfeng's brain was a little confused when it came into contact with all this gossip.
"Not really. Let's take it one step at a time. And keep his thoughts to yourself. If anyone else knows, you..."
"I understand." Qingfeng closed his mouth tightly.
"Anything else?"
"The Crown Prince's Consort sent over a lot of seafood, and also told the cook the general method of steaming and cooking. Now the Prince is directing them in the kitchen..." Qing Feng lowered his head even more.
Xiao Jue stretched out his hand. Qingfeng didn't understand what the master wanted.
"Bring it here," Xiao Jue said.
"No letters, only seafood." Qinglong came in and bowed, as if watching a joke, and pursed his lips.
"Hey, this prince asked you to pour tea, what are you thinking?"
Qingfeng quickly poured some water and handed it to Xiao Jue.
"If the imperial edict doesn't come down tomorrow, it will be the day after tomorrow. By then..." Xiao Jue took a look, and the two of them immediately put on a flattering expression.
"Green Tiger, Come With Me"
The two of them immediately lost their temper. "Master, I have also made contributions today, please take me with you!" Qingfeng knelt down and hugged Xiao Jue's legs.
"Yes, you can go too." Xiao Jue looked at Qinglong.
Qinglong despised Qingfeng for using such a method, but he also wanted to go out. When he was hesitating and bending his knees, Xiao Jue's voice came over.
"You stay here to keep an eye on the various forces in the capital and cooperate with Zi Yuan." Xiao Jue said and knocked on the secret compartment.
Qinglong stood up straight immediately, almost kneeling down. It was a close call. Ziyuan walked out of the secret passage, and they knelt on one knee and said, "Yes, sir."
Inside the General's Mansion
"..." No one said a word. Su Luobai and Su Yanchen, who had just returned home, saw something was wrong and quickly asked, "What happened?"
Su Jinxiu used his eyes to let them both look over there
"Xi'er, come... Keke?" The two were a little surprised.
"Keke, where have you been these days? Do you know that your aunt is going crazy looking for you?" Su Luobai finished speaking, but still no one said anything.
At this time, the old general and the old lady were drinking tea without talking.
"Father, mother, what happened?" As the eldest son, Su Yanchen always stepped forward to ask what happened at home.
"Oh, let Big Mouth tell you." The old lady didn't raise her eyes and no one knew who she was talking about.
"Mother, could this big mouth be..." After Su Yanchen finished speaking, everyone looked at Su Jinxiu.
"I'm not, uncle, don't look at me, don't look at me" Su Jinxiu said aggrievedly
"You seem to be the only one in our family who likes to talk. Now that you know, just tell me everything." Su Luobai looked at his son and said
"Father, do you see me like this too?"
"Stop talking nonsense and speak." Zhao lost his patience.
"That's right, my elder brother fell in love with a widow, and your nephew married my cousin, it's that simple." Su Jinxiu gave up.
"You are a dog that can't spit out ivory. I will beat you to death." Zhao was so angry that she wanted to beat him to death. What kind of words were these?
"Isn't that right? I just came back from delivering something. I'm taking a break now, but you come back and interrogate me. What does their marriage have to do with me?" Su Jinxiu was dissatisfied.
"What? My cousin has fallen in love with me... He has someone he likes?" Wen Xi diverted his attention appropriately. Even Zhao Keke was surprised. What was going on?
"..." The old general, Su Luobai, and Su Yanchen were even more shocked. They, they, Jin Yu both had girls they liked?
Su Yanchen hurried to Qin's place, and Qin nodded at him, but he did not dare to speak out, because the elders in the family had to make the decision. They did not care, but it did not mean that the two elders did not care.
"It stands to reason that a widow is not qualified to enter my general's mansion." The old general's words put an end to the excitement of Su Yanchen and Qin.
"But our Jin Yu has finally moved on, and we can't stop her. Let Yanchen and you two take charge of the marriage proposal. It's OK as long as she doesn't look down on us, a rude family of generals. Hahaha." The old general was even easier to talk to. Only a few people in the room were happy without knowing the situation. The old general, Su Luobai, Su Yanchen and Wen Xi were all happy.
"Thank you, father. I..." Qin pulled him
"Uncle, grandfather, I don't like you, brother." Su Jinxiu said this at this time, and Su Luobai went up and kicked him
"Shut up!"
"Father, what I said is true. If you don't believe me, ask my aunt and the others."
"Really?" Su Yanchen asked
"Yes, husband, Jiu'er said that she didn't agree, but she wanted to ask for our opinion. If we don't mind her identity, she and Xiu'er will help." Qin looked at Su Yanchen.
"But the emperor issued an edict today that Yu'er has to stay in Ganzhou County for at least another year. It's far away from the capital, and we can't go to visit her. But Jiu'er can help out there. I hope they can get married in a year!" Su Yanchen's beautiful wish was shattered.
"But my future sister-in-law is in Beijing," Su Jinxiu interjected.
Su Yanchen looked at Su Luobai and asked, "Third brother, can I beat him?"
Su Luobai made a gesture of invitation, and immediately heard a wailing voice, "Uncle, spare my life. Xiu'er won't do it anymore. I'm going to say everything at once. Can you let me drink some water?"
Su Yanchen let go of his ear, Su Jinxiu rubbed it, picked up the cup and drank it all, and began to talk nonstop.
Miyazato
Before leaving, Gu Xiao handed Li Zongguan a note, which counted how much dowry the Princess An Ning and Princess Bu Ning of Ganzhou County had sold, as well as the money for Prince Xiao and the General's Mansion, and how much silver was needed to build a private school. The total amount was several million taels of silver, which was not a small amount. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell the emperor.
Emperor Yuan almost vomited blood when he heard this. "The treasury is empty. Where can we get so much money?"
"Your Majesty, it is important to keep your body healthy. Your Majesty, I have something to say but I don't know if I should say it." Li Zongguan knelt on the ground.
"Say, I pardon you."
"Yes, Your Majesty, this matter could have been resolved, but it is because of the Crown Prince that Your Majesty is in this situation, and now the national treasury is empty, so we can only..."
"Say" Emperor Yuan was lying on the bed with a confused mind
"The people who can make the most money for the national treasury are in prison. Now it just happens that they are in urgent need of help."
"Yes, how could I forget them?" Emperor Yuan sat up excitedly, then leaned back on the bed.
