Chapter 250 Don’t Flatter Her
Jiang Shangxian poked his head out again, his eyes a little dazed. "Wu Niang is absolutely right! The three superiors are the pillars of our Tang Dynasty, the backbone of the country. If people knew about this, they would definitely criticize the behavior of our officials. If the upper echelons follow suit, it would damage the morale of our country..."
As she spoke, she pulled Li Xueyan's arm and said, "Forget it. We have known each other for a while. I think the three superiors just had some evil thoughts for a moment. We adults don't remember the mistakes of villains. Let's just keep this matter between us. Don't make it public and damage the dignity of our Celestial Empire."
Li Xueyan received her signal and immediately followed, nodding to Yanxia, who was standing aside as a backdrop, with the air of a good daughter of the royal family who served the country and the people. "Auntie, what you said makes sense. Yanxia, you must remember this. This matter must not be made public. It is not easy for our Tang Dynasty to be where it is today. His Majesty is busy with state affairs day and night. Although we are women, we cannot hinder His Majesty. Let's leave it at that for today. Let's go!"
The two of them talked back and forth, one saying something reasonable, the other saying something very right, directly pressing the three of them on the pillar of shame for eavesdropping. Not to mention that Cui Bianxu's forehead was throbbing with veins, even the good-tempered Wang Mingqian and Zhao Shan could hardly control their self-cultivation.
Zhao Shan flicked his folding fan, blocking half of his way, and said something sarcastic as if he was watching a show: "Brother Cui, my sister-in-law's clever words are really shocking. Brother Cui is blessed."
Damn it! Jiang Shangxian wanted to cry but had no tears. What's wrong with this guy? Can't he have a little more judgment? What sister-in-law? She's not even married yet! Wuuuuu!
Wang Mingqian didn't say anything, but he moved his feet slightly and stood up straight to block the way to the other side. The two of them blocked the door tightly. Not to mention two people, even Zhao Shan alone could block the way of Li Xueyan, who was obsessed with love.
Jiang Shangxian followed Li Xueyan with his head down. He bumped into her back after taking only two steps. When he looked up, he saw that her face was flushed and she took two steps back shyly, not daring to look at Zhao Shan who was very close to her.
Ouch! What's wrong with this kid! Jiang Shangxian clutched his wrist inwardly, feeling extremely distressed: What a great opportunity! Just throw him into his arms, use some strength, Zhao Shan is a weakling, just throw him to the ground and touch him twice, wouldn't that be a good opportunity!
If you were a little more shameless, you could take this opportunity to finalize the marriage!
Oh! It hurts!
Jiang Shangxian, who had mastered the art of diverting attention, was secretly muttering in her heart. Cui Bianxu, who was standing next to her, was staring at the top of her head with a gaze that was almost forming rays. Yanxia, who was walking at the end, quickly raised her head, dared to just take a glance, and then quickly lowered her head again. When the kings of hell are fighting, the best thing for them, the little ghosts, is to become invisible.
He teaches his son in public and his wife in private. With so many people around, what if Aunt Jiang gets scared? Wang Mingqian felt a little uncomfortable and was about to speak up when he heard Cui Yi's serious tone and frown as he spoke, "But someone is gossiping behind your back? Who said you were of humble origin?"
The four people who were waiting for the storm looked up at him at the same time with incredible expressions - was this the point?
Even Jiang Shangxian, who had been trying to ignore the gaze on his head, didn't expect that his focus was on this. After being stunned for a second, he immediately took the opportunity to back down, "No, it's just the truth. My family is just ordinary people..."
"Nonsense! This world is supported by the people. Don't abandon yourselves like this in the future."
He can look down on others, but others cannot look down on his future wife!
Perhaps he felt that his words were too blunt, so he slowed down his tone again: "Your Majesty's reward, if there is, it will be icing on the cake, if not, it will be fine, there is no need for you to be so..."
He wanted to say that there was no need to curry favor with the Wu girl, she was just a fifth-rank talent, huh.
Never mind, it was also her rare ambition, all for herself. Cui Bianxu suppressed the corners of her mouth that were about to turn up, looked at Zhao Shan and Wang Mingqian with a cold face, and her eyes jumped between the two of them, as if it was extremely difficult to make a decision. Finally, seeing Li Xueyan beside her, she decided to go with Wang Mingqian!
"Wang Hui, I told you not to interrupt the young ladies' gossip, but you insisted on coming over. Don't you understand the principle of not listening to what is not appropriate?"
Wang Mingqian: ???
Cui Bianxu flung the pot aside and strode out, pulling the stunned Zhao Shan along with him. "Didn't you say you were hungry? Hurry up, what are you dawdling about?"
Wang Mingqian pressed the sword hanging on his waist again and again before he resisted the urge to draw it. He used his last bit of manners to salute and say goodbye to Li Xueyan and Jiang Shangxian. His lips were pursed so hard that the color was almost invisible. He turned around and quickly followed.
Li Xueyan looked at their backs and murmured, "Aunt Jiang, are you really going to marry him?"
Yanxia's expression was exactly the same as hers, but her words were different: "Wu Niang, after all, you are Cui's husband..."
Jiang Shangxian had a smile on his face, and he happily closed their mouths one by one: "He's fine."
Although she didn't know how much Cui Bianxu and the others heard, she could tell that Cui Bianxu thought he was trying to please Wu Meiniang in order to get Li Shimin's reward to make up for his lack of background, so that he could save face when getting engaged.
Cui Bianxu's brain was indeed pretty good this time, as he had guessed half of it. Although rich families marry their daughters off, and poor families marry their daughters-in-law, in this marriage she was marrying into a wealthy family, so if possible, she would naturally want to gain more bargaining chips for herself. As for the mission, I'm afraid no normal person would have thought that there would be such a thing.
"Yanxia, you go and keep an eye on the place outside. If anyone else comes, you have to stop them no matter what. Even if you can't stop them, you have to find a way to remind them." Li Xueyan quickly learned the principle of learning from one's mistakes. Fearing that Cui Bianxu and the others would make a surprise attack again, she sent Yanxia outside to guard the door.
After watching Yanxia close the door again, the two of them sat down to talk. Both of them were still a little frightened, so how could they continue with the previous topic?
Li Xueyan patted her chest in regret. "Was I a little too aggressive just now? Would Zhao Shan think I was too sharp-tongued?"
Seeing her tears were about to fall, Jiang Shangxian poured her a glass of water and comforted her, "If he likes you, then you are naturally perfect in his eyes. It's not easy for women, so what's the harm in saying a few words to protect yourself? Besides, you just did it for me, so next time, let Cui Yi make up for it."
"But he doesn't like me." Li Xueyan's voice was muffled, and the baby fat on her face looked lonely: "If he liked me, he would have come to my house to propose marriage a long time ago, just like Cui Yi..."
God knows how shocked she was when she heard that Cui Bianxu actually went to the Jiang family to propose marriage. After the shock, she was filled with indescribable envy. Originally, the two girls were both craving for the handsome man, but now the other person has overtaken her and is ahead.
