Chapter 402: Isn’t his praise good?
"Master Wei, you are the first person to clearly say that you will not marry again! After all, the news of my choosing a servant has already spread in Fengdu."
"I think Miss Su was forced into a corner and had no other choice! That's why she released the news!"
"Whether you will marry the emperor or not is still a matter of debate. In order to protect you and prevent those noble families from using force against you, His Majesty arranged you to Nanling Prefecture in advance. On the surface, he ordered you to control the flood, but in fact, he asked you to give birth to the child in Nanling Prefecture." Wei Jihua said.
When Su Yueyao heard this, she thought, this person is so insightful! What he said is also profound. Those who can be admitted to the Literary Museum do not have simple minds.
"Are you his Majesty's man? His Majesty and I are having a conflict now! How could she protect me? She sent me out even though I was pregnant, and the eldest prince is still being detained in Fengdu!" Su Yueyao said tentatively.
"The situation between you and His Majesty is nothing more than His Majesty is a bit like a donkey that has been used up. He wants you to win over those noble families and force you to marry a husband, but he is also afraid that you have extra power behind you. But everyone forgets one thing. His Majesty has always wanted to reduce the power of the noble families and strike at them."
"Now that Lady Su is young and beautiful, and she is pregnant, she may be able to give birth in the future. How can those noble families without heirs sit still? Your Majesty, if you are tossed out by various conflicts at this time, those noble families will be more courageous to send people into your backyard."
"..."
"Mr. Wei, you are so good at praising people. Don't praise them anymore in the future!" She is not a pig. Is this how she says she can get pregnant and give birth?
Wei Jihua's face froze. Wasn't his praise good enough?
"Ms. Su, I don't mean anything else. My uncle is a businessman. When the manor was built, it was my uncle who drew the plan and supervised the construction. The land nearby is fertile. By moving the manor, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are gone."
"The dam in Nanshui County can be saved in the end, and the place you chose to temporarily flood is also my uncle's place, so Miss Su really can't consider giving my uncle some benefits?"
"..."
Su Yueyao was angry when she saw Wei Jihua's expression, which showed that he was sure that she would compromise. Then she said with a smile, "Mr. Wei, you are the only one I have ever seen who can analyze things so thoroughly. Aren't you afraid that if I marry you, I can shut up your uncle?"
Wei Jihua was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted and said: "If Miss Su wants to marry me, of course I will marry her. After all, Miss Su is young and beautiful, and she can get pregnant. She may even give birth in the future. It's not a loss for me to marry you!"
Su Yueyao's face turned pale. This guy... doesn't play by the rules!
"Miss Su, do you want to marry me? If you want to marry me, let's go and talk to my uncle?" Wei Jihua wanted to stand up and said.
"Wait, I don't plan to marry you, Mr. Wei, can you tell me what you want for me?"
When Wei Jihua heard Su Yueyao say this, he burst out laughing.
"It seems that Lady Su really has no intention of marrying me, but now my dilemma is only Lady Su can solve it. To be honest, the Fengdu Wei family will let me participate in the selection and enter the palace, but I don't want to enter the palace. My goal is to enter the court as an official, otherwise I would not work hard to be admitted to the Academy of Literature."
"I may not be able to break the dilemma. If you don't want to enter the palace, the only way is to get married. Once you want to participate in the selection, the noble families in Fengdu will not marry you, so you came to Nanling Mansion. I am your only chance?" Su Yueyao said after thinking for a while.
"Yes and no. Your Majesty is treating you like this now. When the noble family sends the young master to your backyard, she will make you the Grand Tutor of the Crown Princess, paving the way for the Crown Princess, and make you completely stand on the side of His Majesty."
"Mr. Wei, how do you know all this? These things haven't happened yet and are not within my consideration, so your plan will fail." Su Yueyao was shocked but did not panic.
"Then let's bet whether I can enter your backyard and become your maid after Lady Su gives birth to the child." Wei Jihua said with a smile.
"Aren't you afraid of being locked up in that yard?" Su Yueyao said speechlessly.
"Didn't Miss Su leave a back door for us to come in and out freely?"
"..."
This guy must have checked everything out! Is he a simple son of a noble family? I don't understand.
"If Lady Su wants to give birth to the child and stay in Nanling Prefecture forever, or wants to leave Nanling Prefecture, she can give up the idea, because His Majesty has secretly sent many people to surround Nanling Prefecture and wait for Lady Su to get out!"
"Ms. Su, each of your husbands is extraordinary, so you'd better be careful not to expose yourself."
"Mr. Wei, it seems you have checked me out very well! Do you think I would marry someone so deep?"
"I didn't ask you to marry me. I just want the title of serving the emperor. My goal is to serve as an official in the court. So, Lady Su, you can rest assured that I can be your helper and will never force you to do anything."
Su Yueyao didn't expect Wei Jihua to say this, and she was thinking about what to do.
"Let's not talk about my affairs for now. Since Lady Su will return to Fengdu after giving birth to the child, when the time comes to select the concubine, it will depend on whether I have the ability to get in."
"Nanling Prefecture is my uncle's territory. Nanling's number one family is the support of all the other families behind it. If you occupy their territory without giving me some benefits, I think it will be difficult for my uncle to give it up!"
"I can agree to arrange a marriage between your uncle's grandson and the child in my belly, but if the two children meet in the future and don't like each other, the marriage will be invalidated." Su Yueyao said after thinking for a while.
"Okay, no problem, let's go out!"
When Su Yueyao came out, she found that the head of the Wei family did not look very good, and the atmosphere in the entire reception room was a bit depressing.
Su Yueyao looked at Gongyang Ruoyu, and Gongyang Ruoyu awkwardly avoided Su Yueyao's sight.
He felt a little embarrassed at the moment. He didn't expect that he, who had never failed before, couldn't even deal with a noble family in the government office. Perhaps he underestimated the eagerness of these noble families to become relatives with Su Yueyao.
"Lady Su, I'm going to stop here today. If you don't agree to my terms, I won't let you have this place."
"Uncle Su Nujun agreed to settle it. The wife of your grandson has been found."
"Ms. Su, really?"
"Well, but if the two children don't like each other in the future, the engagement will be invalid."
"No problem. Who wouldn't like the men of my Wei family? That place will be vacated in two days. Miss Su, I believe in your character, so I won't write a certificate. We'll get engaged after you give birth to the baby." The head of the Wei family said with a smile.
"it is good."
Su Yueyao left the Wei family and asked Gong Yang Ruoyu curiously.
"My lord, when I was away, what did you say that made the head of the Wei family so angry?"
"Ahem...At first I wanted to lure him with money, but I didn't expect that the head of the Wei family would say that I bribed him openly and insulted him with money."
"I tried to persuade him with reason and emotion, and told him the importance of this place. He then said that I looked down on him as a merchant and used the interests of the country to deceive him."
"I also said that if he gave up his place, I would write a memorial praising his generosity. When he heard it, he said I was threatening him with the current emperor."
After hearing this, Su Yueyao laughed out loud. This head of the Wei family is really a person who pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger. He is just like Wei Jihua, deep and scheming. It is obvious that he has thought of everything and is waiting for you to come to him.
Seize the initiative! There is a reason why the Wei family can become the number one family in Nanling Prefecture.
