The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 152 152. Fish Leap

　　What you said is the same as if you didn't say it. If you don't point out who it is by name, there is still a glimmer of hope.

 “Haha, that’s what the father-in-law said.”

"Okay, that slave will leave first and come back to ask for a wedding drink on the wedding day of the princess and the noble prince."

 “It must be certain, father-in-law, walk slowly.”

After the father-in-law left, Wen Jingsong staggered a few steps. Wen Mengsheng next to him stepped forward to support his trembling body and said worriedly.

"Father, save me. If I really become Princess Changlin's consort, won't my son's future be ruined? Besides, no matter how old the princess is, she is enough to be my mother. She wants me to join the family. Being Nao Shizi's consort, my son would rather die."

 At the mention of death, Wen Jingsong's pupils trembled, he took Wen Mengsheng's hand and cursed angrily.

“Young boy, Huangkou, you’re going to die if you encounter something like this. How can you take care of the Wen family in the future?”

Wen Xinglu said nothing. When he looked at Wen Jingsong, he was praying.

Unlike Wen Yuwei, he really cared about his nephew. In terms of ability and talent, he was even better than his son. This spring, he was even expected to be in the top three, but now...

"You two, don't be anxious. Since the princess has not yet announced who her son-in-law will be, there is still room for maneuver on the matter. My father will discuss it with the Duke first before making any plans."

“Father, I’ll go with you!” Wen Mengsheng said anxiously.

Princess Changlin, the **** of plague, would have known that he would hide at home on the Lantern Festival night. If he had to show his face in front of her, it would be like digging a hole for himself.

"No need, just rest at home while you are on the way and wait until I come back."

After speaking, he handed the hot imperial edict into the hands of the steward, ordered him to put it away, and went to the Weiguo Palace alone.

At this moment, Wen Mengsheng finally understood the meaning of Princess Changlin's words last night. Even now, his relationship with Wen Xinglu's cousins ​​was already in jeopardy. The two of them looked at each other with guarded eyes.

 The Palace of the Duke of Wei.

When Wen Jingsong was taken to the study by his servants, he happened to meet Mr. Liang coming to discuss the final details of the marriage with the Wei family.

At this moment, Wen Jingsong didn't care about his face. He knelt down in front of Duke Wei in front of the elder brother of the Wei family and Master Liang, and begged with tears in his eyes, "Master Guo, help me."

Master Wei and Mr. Liang were both a little shocked and didn't know what happened. Only Duke Wei calmly picked up the tea cup at hand and stirred the tea leaves in it bit by bit.

"Master Wen, what do you mean by this? What can my father save you?"

"Master Wei doesn't know something. His Majesty has granted my son a marriage to Princess Changlin. If this is true, wouldn't his future be ruined?"

It is an ironclad law that a prince-in-law is not allowed to serve as an official in the court. It is normal for Wen Jingsong to be worried about this.

He has only one son. If there is no hope of entering the court, there is really no way to survive.

"Father, this..." The elder man of the Wei family usually had a good relationship with Wen Jingsong, but now when his friend was in trouble, he naturally couldn't stand by and watch, so he wanted to plead for him, but unexpectedly, he was interrupted by Duke Wei.

"Lord Wen, your Majesty's decree did not say that the one who granted the marriage was your own son. Isn't there a nephew in the house? The ready-made method is right in front of you, so why bother asking me to come here?"

Wen Jingsong had a good plan. He didn't want to lose his son, but he also wanted to save his nephew. Unfortunately, there is no such good thing in this world, and even if it is, it may not be able to happen to the Wen family. Hearing what Duke Wei said, Wen Jingsong felt very sad, "This method is really good... My nephew has never introduced him to the Duke. He is indeed a rare talent..."

You also wanted to find another way out for him, but was interrupted by Duke Wei, "You are just afraid that he will hold a grudge against you and take revenge on you. But Mr. Wen, there are not many people in the court. What about your opponent? I can handle it, but you can’t?"

“The Duke of the country calmed down, it’s really a pity for my nephew’s talent and ability.”

"You are a soft-hearted person, but it's a pity that the road to court is not easy to navigate. Sometimes a soft-hearted person will be stepped on by others. The marriage grant is a great thing for the Wen family. The Ninth Prince is worried that he will not have the chance to get close to Princess Changlin. Well, if you can persuade your nephew to be the prince-in-law, and let the princess join forces with the Ninth Prince, I hereby guarantee that as long as the Ninth Prince ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, an exception will be made. If he is allowed to become an official in the court, he doesn’t have to start from a small place, how about he directly joins the cabinet?”

Gong Wei did not dissuade him, but he knew that the marriage must be done.

 Compared to Wen Mengsheng, perhaps Wen Xinglu, who wanted to make a way out, could accomplish this better.

The fish leaps over the dragon gate, and he goes to wealth and honor, all in one thought.

After hearing this, Wen Jingsong knelt on the ground limply, thinking about the possibility of this matter.

Mr. Liang was in a cold sweat as he listened. Mr. Wei Guo's skill was really powerful.

Looking at it one day and then dozens of times later, I was really impressed that what was originally a tragic incident turned into great good news.

Before the water in the tea cup even reached the bottom, Wen Jingsong figured it out. After respectfully thanking Duke Wei, he stood up and returned home.

 “Where did we just talk?”

 “Ah, speaking of…”

 In the study, the three of them continued the previous conversation, as if Wen Jingsong had never been there before.

 But at this moment, the Wen family is in a turbulent situation.

After Wen Jingsong told Wen Xinglu exactly what Duke Wei had said, he stumbled a few times, then looked up to the sky and laughed, with tears of despair in his laughter.

 He should have known earlier how his uncle was willing to give up this great future for him, and so was his sister.

When Wen Mengsheng next to him learned that he had a chance to survive, he naturally stood with his father, so he "kindly" consoled him, "My cousin, this method is very good. If you become the prince-in-law, it is just a tactic to hide your strength and bide your time." Your ability will definitely make the princess fall in love with you. What can you not get by then? What's more, Duke Wei has promised that after the Ninth Prince succeeds in his great cause, you can still serve the country, right?"

 “Yes? Then why don’t you go?”

“You! The Duke mentioned it by name, so of course it’s you. Cousin, it’s better to accept your fate.”

Wen Mengsheng had heard a lot about Princess Changlin's romantic affairs. When he thought of the male dominators in her backyard, he felt sick at how he could have wronged himself.

If you don’t want to wrong yourself, you have to wrong others. Since that person is your cousin, it’s no more than that.

With his heart so cold, Wen Xinglu burst into tears. Looking into Wen Jingsong’s eyes, he only had the last bit of hope, “Uncle, do you think so too?”
