Red makeup against the world

Chapter 725 Mother's Heart
Only when the distance between the two of them and other officials was further increased, Yao Shangshu lowered his voice and said, "For what happened yesterday, the old man apologized to the madam on behalf of the young girl."

Wu Zhengxiang nodded, accepting it calmly.Apparently Yao Shangshu didn't want to mess around and stand up for his daughter.Come to think of it, for a dignified second-rank official, no matter how much you dote on her, she is still just a woman.

How could he come to offend the current Wu family, who is deeply favored by the emperor, for the sake of his daughter?
"Master Shangshu, Wu has a few words that I have to say." Wu Zhengxiang said.

Yao Shangshu twitched his beard and smiled, and said: "General, don't be in a hurry, let's talk after listening to the old man. Maybe we mean the same thing."

Wu Zhengxiang glanced at him sideways, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and asked, "Will you?"

Inexplicably, Yao Shangshu read the danger from his smile, he really is a person with a dangerous reputation.Gathering his mind, he said repeatedly: "Yes, yes!"

"Zhiyue is young, and she is my old man. She has always been spoiled. However, her marriage cannot be decided by her. Please rest assured, Commander Wu, we will arrange another marriage for her, and will not bring you trouble."

Wu Zhengxiang nodded, it would be great if he had this intention.There is no need to use those methods that were originally thought out, and it saves some energy.

"How long?" he asked.

Yao Shangshu was taken aback for a moment before realizing that he was asking about the time for the marriage.With a wry smile, he said, "Half a year!"

Seeing Wu Zhengxiang's brows wrinkled, he hastily explained: "She has just reached the age of Ji. Originally, Madam wanted to keep her for a few more years, but she never found a suitable marriage. General, you know that even if it is a low marriage, It is not easy to find a suitable school in Beijing.”

This is the truth, Wu Zhengxiang pondered for a moment and said: "Then I dare to ask my lord, how can I guarantee that she will not have any accidents in this half a year?"

Accident is just a euphemism, it's actually posted because she was worried about Yao Zhiyue regardless of the occasion.

Hearing these words, Yao Shangshu's face became hot, but he was powerless to refute.As a father, he was ashamed of Yao Zhiyue's behavior and angry at Wu Zhengxiang's dismissiveness.

No matter how wrong Yao Zhiyue was, she was also his daughter whom he loved dearly for more than ten years.But being so disgusted by the man in front of him!Even with his city, he still showed his displeasure on his face.

After calming down, Yao Shangshu asked back: "Could it be that the old man's guarantee is not enough to rely on?"

Wu Zhengxiang suddenly stood still, looked at him and said, "Of course Wu believes in Lord Shangshu." The subtext was that he didn't trust Yao Zhiyue and Mrs. Shangshu.

"Since the general is so worried, the old man will take care of the little girl. Until she gets married, she can't even step out of the house!" Yao Shangshu looked slightly annoyed, and asked, "How about this?"

Wu Zhengxiang smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is indeed a trustworthy person, and he promises a thousand gold. I hope you will forgive me if I said something disrespectful just now."

This kid, was he testing himself?No wonder he was able to achieve such a high position at a young age, and he really has two ways.

Yao Shangshu's displeasure faded away, and he said with a smile: "You and I are officials in the same palace, so we should tolerate each other."

No matter how slow the two walked, they still reached the Duanmen while talking.After checking the badge and leaving the palace, the two said goodbye at the Duanmen.

Before he could make a move, he had already solved this matter.Feeling happy, Wu Zhengxiang rode his horse towards Xiaoqiwei Yamen.

According to the news sent back yesterday, Master Lin's whereabouts have been gradually grasped, and the time for him to go to Jiangnan Road is getting closer and closer.

He wanted to spend a few more days, hand over all the official duties at hand, and spend a few days with Xu Wanzhen to have a good time before leaving Beijing.

……

Shangshu Mansion, backyard, inside Yao Zhiyue's boudoir.

"Zhiyue, you just give up on this idea. Neither me nor your father approve of you marrying into the Wu family as a common wife." Mrs. Yao sat on the huanghuali high-backed chair with a cold and stern tone.

In the room was only Hong Feng, a confidant maid serving Mrs. Yao, and Mrs. Yao's maid in charge was guarding the door. Yao Zhiyue's maids were sent far away into the yard.

Yao Zhiyue looked at her in disbelief, and asked hesitantly, "Mother, what happened? Why did you..."

Why did your attitude change so much, why did you talk to me like this?

Since she was sensible, it was the first time that Mrs. Yao used such a tone and expression towards her.Yao Zhiyue was a little bewildered at this time, and didn't know how to deal with it.

Madam Yao's expression was indifferent, she sat still and said: "Nothing happened. I just want to tell you not to think about him anymore. I will choose another marriage for you and we will get married within half a year."

"Mother..." Hearing the firmness of her tone, Yao Zhiyue's wide-open beautiful eyes burst into tears, which fell to the ground like chaotic pearls.

"Yue'er knows that you love me the most. Why are you willing to treat me like this?" Yao Zhiyue still couldn't believe it, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "It's my father, it must be my father, right?"

Seeing her so sad, Mrs. Yao felt a great pain in her heart.But since knowing her husband's plan, Mrs. Yao has made up her mind that she must let Yao Zhiyue leave the vortex of seizing the heir.

If we don't arrange a marriage for her as soon as possible, Mrs. Yao believes that once any opportunity arises, the aloof Master Shang Shu will not mind using Yao Zhiyue as a pawn.

After all, she was the child she grew up in the palm of her hand, Madam Yao didn't want to see her marriage become Yao Shangshu's tool.

But these reasons cannot be stated in words.Mrs. Yao hardened her heart: "He is just a concubine of the Duke's Mansion, and he is not qualified to marry you as a common wife. From today on, you will stay in this courtyard, and you are not allowed to go out without my permission."

"What?" Yao Zhiyue asked with tears: "Mother, are you going to put me under house arrest? What did I do wrong? I just like someone. Not to mention a flat wife, even a concubine, as long as I can see him every day , I am also willing."

Her words successfully aroused Mrs. Yao's anger, she stood up and shouted: "You! For a man, you are willing to be so low. Where will you leave us, and where will you leave the Yao family? You only think about yourself. Didn't think about half a point for me?!"

After being drink by her, Yao Zhiyue was so frightened that she stopped crying and looked at her mother in a daze.

Since she was a child, she has been the center of the family, and she has what she wants.No one taught her to be considerate of others and consider their feelings.

Her selfishness stems from a habit of more than ten years and is rooted deep in her soul.Speaking of which, Mrs. Yao, who doted on her like this, should bear the main responsibility.

After being stunned for a while, Yao Zhiyue came to her senses and yelled like crazy: "No! I don't want to marry someone else. I'll just twist my hair to be my sister-in-law. I won't marry even if I die!"

Talking and walking around the house.Sharp-eyed spotted the sewing basket under the window, rushed over to pick up the embroidery scissors, and made a gesture of cutting her own hair.
