Chapter 144: Cannon Fodder Gold Targeted by Slaves 27

"Miss, did you want to write a letter to your father-in-law just now? Do you want to go back to Weiguo?"
His tone was gentle, but it made Yun Wu feel inexplicably cold.
It was as if as long as she said she wanted to go back to Weiguo, he would pounce on her and eat her up like a cake.
and many more……
"Who are you calling father-in-law?"
Yun Wu's fair cheeks flushed and she looked at Xiao Rongjing in disbelief.
"Young lady is my queen, and your father is my father-in-law, who is also the father-in-law of my Xiao country."
"But I haven't agreed yet?"
Yun Wu looked at the shameless man and said angrily, but Xiao Rongjing didn't care at all. Instead, he held her slender white hand and kissed the back of her hand.
"I will always be your slave, and I will always put you first. Please marry me..."
"You...let go of my hand first."
Yun Wu spoke with an evasive look in her eyes, because Xiao Rongjing kept rubbing the palm of her hand, which made her feel itchy and uncomfortable.
Xiao Rongjing was afraid that she would really dislike him and return to Weiguo, and he was also afraid that he would do something even more despicable in order to keep Yun Wu.
He carefully held Yun Wu's hand and let her soft palm rest on his cheek.
"You bought me back with your own hands, so you can't abandon me, let alone leave me..."
The young emperor in dragon robe half-knelt before her, pious and humble.
"I just want the lady..."
Yun Wu's heart was moved. Xiao Rongjing looked so aggrieved and pitiful, as if he would die if she didn't agree to marry him.
The pampered young lady who had been living a life of luxury for many years never lowered herself to others. She looked away awkwardly and slightly opened her pink lips.
"Then... then I will stay and be the queen reluctantly."
Yun Wu's voice was soft and tender. She blushed as she looked at Xiao Rongjing's eyes that suddenly became somewhat delighted. Then she added fiercely:
"I just think being a queen is very impressive, I don't like you at all! Don't overthink it."
Her cheeks were rosy, her voice was soft, and her aggressive look didn't look ferocious at all.
Xiao Rongjing felt that he would have to revolve around the young lady for the rest of his life.
The young lady was the most hypocritical. She must like him, even though he couldn't hear her say it in person yet.
But it doesn’t matter, the lady just needs to stand where she is and he can take the initiative to walk towards her.
Yun Wu still had to write a letter to the Prime Minister father just to let him know that she was safe. She was afraid that her father would worry about her safety in Weiguo.
Xiao Rongjing sat beside her and accompanied her in writing the letter, but he did not tell the young lady.
Before she came to Xiao State, he wrote a secret letter to Prime Minister Yun, beginning with the title "Father-in-law" and writing a letter of more than ten pages.

An uninvited guest arrived at the Prime Minister's residence of Wei State.
In the main hall, Prime Minister Yun was sitting opposite Wei Congyu who had arrived unexpectedly.
"Master Yun, is Awu really going to marry Xiao Rongjing?"
Wei Congyu's usually gentle and handsome face showed a hint of gnashing teeth.
In comparison, Prime Minister Yun seemed much calmer.
"Emperor Xiao has issued an imperial decree. The enthronement ceremony will be held soon. What does Your Highness want to say?"
"Lord Yun is the Prime Minister of our Wei State, the head of all officials, but now he is going to be the father-in-law of the enemy country. Lord Yun, aren't you afraid?"
Wei Congyu said with a slightly frowned brow, his tone containing a hint of threat and intimidation.
"I have served in the court for decades, and my loyalty is evident to all. If Your Majesty is concerned about this, I will resign. However..."
Unexpectedly, Prime Minister Yun was so calm and composed that he even had time to take a sip of tea.
"Your Highness, don't forget. Xiao Guo's intention is that as long as the Yun family is there in Wei Guo, they will not attack. Only when I live well can Wei Guo live well."
"Is Lord Yun threatening me?"
Wei Congyu frowned and said with displeasure, but he saw Prime Minister Yun sitting opposite him stroking his beard and said calmly:
"Ah, yes, yes, your highness is right."
What else could Wei Congyu say? His punches felt like hitting cotton.
He failed to achieve his goal, so he had to return to the palace with a gloomy face, and his mother called him over.
"Cong Yu, it is not feasible to take advantage of the Yun family's power now, but fortunately, it is not too late now."
The empress, who is already middle-aged, is painstakingly planning her next move. The emperor has been ill again recently, and it seems that his health is getting worse.
She originally wanted to ask Emperor Wei to remove Prime Minister Yun from his post because Yun Wu was going to become the Queen of the Xiao Kingdom. After all, his status was different now, and she could also take the opportunity to support officials who supported Wei Congyu to replace the position of Prime Minister.
However, she was rejected by Emperor Wei, who instead reprimanded her, saying that women in the harem were not allowed to interfere in government affairs. Emperor Wei trusted Prime Minister Yun very much, and the Queen had no idea where to start.
"Cong Yu, you should get married sooner now. Since the young lady of the Yun family is unsuccessful, you can just marry your cousin as your principal wife. The Liang family will definitely assist you wholeheartedly."
"Mother..."
Wei Congyu frowned slightly. Liang Yue was his cousin, but he had no romantic feelings for her. His mother tried her best to bring them together in order to hold all the power in the palace in her own hands in the future.
If he hadn't felt anything in the past, it wouldn't matter who he married, it was all for power. But after learning that Awu was going to marry someone else, he no longer felt that it was okay to marry anyone.
Wei Congyu and Awu grew up together, and he often stayed around Awu. Everyone else thought that Awu would be his crown princess in the future.
He had always thought so, because Awu had a good family background, could help him, and was beautiful and delicate, so such a woman was worthy of the position of Crown Princess.
But now he thinks that he was wrong, because he approached Awu with the intention of getting her and then abandoning her.
Wei Congyu thought of Xiao Rongjing, the lowly slave who used to follow Awu and wore servant's clothes. At that time, he felt that he was not to be feared.
But unexpectedly, Xiao Rongjing got the beauty. He must be very happy now...

Xiao Rongjing, who was far away in the Xiao Kingdom's palace, was indeed very happy because he could finally...
It was now night time, candles were lit in the hall, and the air was filled with steam and smoke.
Yun Wu’s cheeks were rosy in the bathtub, and her round and white shoulders were exposed.
She was afraid that her black hair would come into contact with water, so she tied it up loosely. Some of the fallen hair was wet and stuck to her snow-white skin.
Yun Wu's cheeks were flushed red, and she looked at Xiao Rongjing, who was standing behind the screen not far away, with shame and anger.
She had just taken off her clothes and entered the bathtub to bathe, and then she habitually called Chun Xing to come in and serve her. She did the same thing in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
It turned out that the person who came in was not Chun Xing, but Xiao Rongjing!
"How did you get in? Get out!"
The delicate young lady was blushing and wanted to chase him out. Xiao Rongjing, who was standing next to the screen, was wearing dark clothes and had a handsome face. His eyes were staring straight at Yun Wu.
The edge of the bathtub was not high. He looked at the snow-white ball huddled on the edge, covering its delicate body. Its skin was so white and tender, even more beautiful than the snow in winter.
He had thought about this scenario countless times in his mind, so he wouldn't have a nosebleed.
He and the young lady are husband and wife now, well, this is right.
