After Xu Zhongran cleaned up, he came back to see Mrs. Tai. Mrs. Tai spoke a lot to Xu Zhongran, and finally said with a sad face: "Zhongran, I know you are wronged. But if the Xu family cannot inherit the title, it will decline."
Xu Zhongran¡¯s face was stiff: ¡°My grandmother also wants me to leave the clan and marry Princess Wenwan.¡±
The madam shook her head and said: "No, there is no need to leave the clan. Princess Wenwan deliberately used this method, just to test your determination. It is not that you really want to leave the clan. I have also dealt with Princess Wenwan, and Princess Wenwan is not so cold. A cold-hearted person. Otherwise, he would not have cut off the father-daughter relationship with the fifth master of the Hei family and arranged his old age properly. "
Xu Zhongran suddenly looked up at his grandmother, Mrs. Xu. Mrs. Xu can also be regarded as a successful person. Back then, when he befriended the fifth prince, Master Xu almost beat him to death. It was Mrs. Xu who protected him. Said he had grown up and had his own ideas. Although he knew that his grandmother wanted to leave a way out for the Xu family. But, he's still grateful. At least in this family, his grandmother still cares about him. My sister is living well at her grandmother's place.
Mrs. Xu looked at Xu Zhongran lovingly: "My grandson, only by enduring thousands of things can you become a great person. Back then, if Princess Wen Wan couldn't bear the reputation of being framed by the Xian Concubine (Wen Wan didn't care at all), she would have long ago Dead. But she endured it. So now she has become a powerful princess. Grandson, as long as you can endure this, the Xu family will prosper again. "
Xu Zhongran looked at the Madam blankly, "Grandma, do you know what consequences I will bear if I agree? Princess Wenwan is a woman. And she was already your princess back then. She was the niece of the emperor at that time. Those reputations are very important to her. She is not in the way. But I am different. If I bear the reputation of abandoning my ancestors for glory and wealth, my life will be over."
The madam paused. But the Xu family can't go on like this. Otherwise, you will definitely fail. "Zhong Ran. As long as the princess sees your sincerity, she won't really let you leave the clan."
Xu Zhongran¡¯s heart suddenly turned cold. Both hands. He pinched the flesh in the center of his palm tightly. Drenched with blood. His heart was bleeding too. However, he quickly restrained himself, sighed slightly, bit his head and said: "Grandma, for the sake of the Xu family, I am willing to agree. However, even if I leave the clan, the princess will marry me. But I am no longer Xu Naturally, members of the Xu family cannot inherit the title. If I leave the family, it will have no effect on the Xu family. "
Mrs. Xu¡¯s lips moved for a long time. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said: "Then you can also let your brother Xijue. The Xu family, Xijue. Although it is the last one now, there are still decades to go. If your father plans well, he will get better and better. It¡¯s better than what we have now.¡±
Xu Zhongran wanted to look up to the sky and scream, but he restrained himself. His expression returned to calm, he shook his head and said, "Even if I agree to leave the clan, the princess will marry me. But the princess will never help the Xu family seize the title."
There was suspicion in Mrs. Tai's eyes: "Why is this? How can you be so sure? Zhongran, grandma also knows that this will make you feel wronged. But dozens of people in the Xu family can get out of the current predicament." There is nothing the madam can do. When the Xu family rebelled, although the emperor did not kill anyone, all property was confiscated. Although the court later symbolically returned some property, the Xu family had been defeated, and even the marriages of their descendants were in question. If the Xu family is to remain like this, it will be completely defeated. Forget it if I didn¡¯t have the chance in the past. But now that she had this opportunity, how could she give it up? Although she knew that her grandson was wronged, she wanted to do it for the Xu family. I also endured the grievances. No matter how important the grandson is, it is more important than going to the Xu family.
Xu Zhongran has experienced a lot in these years. My emotions have long since been calmed down. His expression was sad: "Grandma, Princess Wenwan will not marry me. She did this to make her grandson miss her. Back then, my father broke up his affair with the second wife because of Princess Wenwan. I didn't want to The reputation of the Luo family was damaged. So, my father wanted to kill Princess Wenwan and almost choked her to death. Grandma, how could I marry the princess? I will also help the Xu family regain their title.¡±
Mrs. Tai's face suddenly turned pale, she grabbed Xu Zhongran's hand and said, "Are you telling the truth? Didn't you deceive grandma?" Mr. Xu just said to her back then, and he scolded Wen Wan. Later, he wanted to stop Wen Wan's mouth so that the Xu family would not become the laughing stock in the capital. That¡¯s why he sent so many belongings. She didn't know that her son, her son almost killed Wen Wan.
Xu Zhongran smiled bitterly: "This is what the princess said personally. If it were not true, the princess would not be able to joke about such a thing. It's just that after so many years, the princess does not hold a grudge. But let the princess "
Before Xu Zhongran finished speaking, the lady fainted.
Mr. Xu saw his wife fainted and thought she was forced to faint. Beat Xu ZhongranHe was locked up in the house and ordered not to send food or water. Let him sober up.
In the middle of the night, Xu Zhongran¡¯s sister secretly brought him food. He hid his tears and said: "Brother, you must never promise your grandmother and father. If you promise them, your whole life will be ruined even if your mother is buried in the ground and can't rest in peace. Brother, we can't reach the level of the princess, so we will It¡¯s pretty good to live your life now. Brother, you must not agree to them.¡±
When Xu Zhongran heard his sister's words, his cold heart finally felt warm. He smiled and comforted: "It's okay, I can get through it. It's okay, it will be over soon."
After Mrs. Tai woke up, she asked Mr. Xu what the truth was about what happened back then. Mr. Xu panicked immediately. Although she still said the same thing, she finally believed Xu Zhongran's words. She forced Mr. Xu to divorce Luo Shi. If Mr. Xu refused to divorce Luo Shi, she would beat him to death.
Mr. Xu will not stop Luo until he dies. The madam was so angry that she fainted again. Mrs. Xu comforted her for a long time, but it was of no use.
Wen Wanzheng took a peeled longan from the crystal plate and ate it. Three days passed. No news.
Xia Ying is very sorry. Wen Wan looked at her like this, as if he wanted her to agree quickly, and laughed: "I knew Xu Zhongran would not agree. He is an ambitious man, and he also knows how to calculate. How could he give up because of me? own future and bear such eternal infamy.¡±
Xia Ying shook his head: "Then he can see that the princess is playing tricks on him."
But Wen Wan said for the first time: "How do you know that I am playing tricks on him? If he can really bear this reputation, I will really be tempted to marry him. Unfortunately, Xu Zhongran only said it brightly on the surface. Really? Thinking that women are all fools, he pounces on them after saying a few nice words, and is so grateful that he only cares about his sincerity. "
Xia Ying was stunned, she thought Wen Wan was just playing tricks on Xu Zhongran!
Xia Yao felt a sudden change in her heart: "Princess, in fact, the Xu family has two attitudes towards this matter. One group approves Xu Zhongran's marriage, and the other disapproves."
Wen Wan ate another longan and asked someone to take it down: "How can you agree with the law? How can you not agree with the law?"
Xia Ying smiled and said: "Those who agree say that as long as Xu Zhongran enters the princess's mansion, the title of the Xu family will definitely be restored. Those who don't agree say that even if he enters the princess's mansion, he will no longer be a member of the Xu family. So. The princess¡¯s temperament will not help the Xu family regain their title.¡±
Wen Wan was a little surprised: "Oh? Do you agree?" No, I really agree. If there was such a big fuss, she wouldn't get married. These people are crazy.
??
She said with a gentle smile: "Then what?" This was what she had expected. For Master Xu, if he marries her, he can get his title back. If Mr. Xu regains his title, he won't have to worry about the glory and wealth in the rest of his life. Sacrifice of a son is nothing. Anyway, he has many sons, so he is not worried about not having any sons. He is only worried that his life is not stable now.
Xia Yao said: "Xu Zhongran refused and was beaten." While the group was talking, they heard the housekeeper say that there was a letter from Xu Zhongran.
Wen Wanyang opened it and read it. Xu Zhongran said in the letter that he had given up. I'm sorry, but he really means it. However, the price was too heavy and he couldn't bear it.
"If Xu Zhongran really left the clan, he would never be able to hold his head high in front of the world for the rest of his life. His whole life was ruined. He didn't have the courage to use this to take the opportunity that Wen Wan might give him.
Xu Zhongran knew that Wen Wan's move was very poisonous. I have to accept the rebuke of the world, but I don't deserve it. I am really not enough. He doesn't have the ability to break the trap set by Wen Wan. Instead, it made him see clearly how hypocritical and cruel his family was. The last remaining feeling of his was torn into pieces.
Wenwan took the letter and read it herself. Sighed slightly. Life is not easy for anyone. It's not easy for her, and neither is Xu Zhongran. Wen Wan asked Xia Ying to burn Xu Zhongran's letter.
Xia Yao breathed out a sigh of relief. Xia Yao knows her gentle temperament very well. If you follow the gentle selection method, you will never get married in this life. Fortunately, they got married by chance. Fortunately, General Bai could satisfy all the princess's perverted requirements, and most importantly, the princess had to marry Bai Shinian, and there was no room for the princess to refute. Xia Yao thought that Wen Wan's body was almost healed now. It seems that we have to find a way to get General Bai back.
Xia Yao is an activist and asked the imperial doctor privately. I know that Wenwan will be at the end of this year at the earliest and early next year at the latest. Xia Yao also began to think about what should be doneWhy let Bai Shinian come back? (To be continued)
