On the wedding night, the villain husband cried and his eyes turned red
Chapter 208 The eldest princess comes to ask for an explanation
"Have you heard? The emperor has granted a marriage to Mr. Xu, and it is Wen Yidi, the eldest son of the Wen family."
"What? The Wen family is a merchant, how can they be worthy of Mr. Xu?"
"I heard they said it was a bride-in-law. Is it okay to be a bride-in-law?"
"It's not okay to marry into a wife. Even if she is a wife, Master Xu is still the daughter-in-law of the Wen family. With the Wen family's plucking attitude, Master Xu will have some worries in the future."
"What are you talking about here? I have found out clearly that it is not a bride-in-law at all. It is Mr. Xu who married Mr. Wen."
"You are just talking nonsense. How can a woman like Mr. Xu marry a man like Mr. Wen?"
"You don't know this, right? Master Xu has made meritorious service in Mengzhou and Hezhou. It is written in the emperor's imperial edict that Master Xu is marrying, not marrying!"
"What? It's marriage, not marriage. Does it mean that if Mr. Xu is willing, can he marry any other man besides Wen Yidi?"
As the imperial edict was sent to the Xu family and the Wen family, the news that Xu Shihuan was about to marry Wen Yidi also spread throughout Yong'an City. This was the first time the people had heard about this woman marrying a man.
Therefore, most of people's attention was focused on how Xu Shihuan should marry Wen Yidi, but they no longer paid attention to the huge gap between their family backgrounds.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, the eldest princess suddenly visited again. Her face had long since lost the peace that she had been eating and practicing Buddhism all year round, and was replaced by anger. Xu Weimin heard the sound and came out to check, and what he saw was this fierce look.
"What's this crazy woman doing here again?"
He muttered in a low voice, but still bravely stepped forward and asked in a pretentious manner:
"Hey! Isn't this the eldest princess of our Wanhua Kingdom? What kind of wind is blowing today to bring you here? I said, looking at the Prime Minister's Mansion today, why is it faintly shining with golden light!"
Who would have thought that the eldest princess would not accept this trick at all. She frowned, as if she saw something dirty, and said angrily:
"Where is that wicked girl in your family? I have something to say to her."
Upon hearing this, Xu Weimin instantly understood that the eldest princess was not happy to let Xu Shihuan marry her son and came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to ask for an explanation. But she didn't want to think about it. This was the Prime Minister's Mansion and the territory of his Xu family. How could Prime Minister Xu allow her to settle a score with her daughter.
"Shihuan was exhausted in Hezhou. It's hard to come back now, so you need to have a good rest. In this way, just tell me what you have to say, and I will pass the message on to you."
"Besides, you are making so much noise, are you afraid that others won't hear you or what? I still want to ask you, if you just entered the Prime Minister's Mansion angrily like this, will the Emperor be suspicious if he finds out?"
Li Jiayi waved his hand helplessly, indicating that he would go into the room to talk about something. As soon as she entered the room, she couldn't hold it in any longer. Once she opened her mouth, she couldn't stop it.
"Don't worry! As I said to the emperor brother, he originally wanted to recognize Wen Yidi as his adopted son, but he didn't agree, so he backed down and asked for the arranged marriage."
"When I came here just now, I also put on a disguise. Even if others saw me, they wouldn't know who I am. It's not like you don't know. I take this matter much more seriously than your family does. I don't want anything to go wrong."
After talking for a long time, Li Jiayi suddenly realized that the topic had gone astray. The purpose of her visit today was not to chat casually with Xu Weimin. So, without thinking too much, she asked directly:
"I came here today just to ask your girl, didn't we agree on getting married? How come your daughter has married my son?"
When this topic was brought up, Xu Weimin thought that what was supposed to come would eventually come. He also didn't expect that Xu Shihuan would handle things like this. From the Xu family's point of view, it is natural for this daughter to be dignified when she marries a man.
But the problem is that the person she married is not a lowly businessman, but also the only son of the eldest princess and the consort, which is a bit unreasonable.
However, he promised Weimin that he could achieve the position of prime minister, and he had not been a vegetarian for so many years. I saw him smiling slightly, showing that he had the situation under control, and said in a deep voice:
"Oh! Whoever marries whomever is married is from our own family. With the relationship between Yue'er and you, are you still worried that we will bully that child? Besides, Shihuan didn't want to do this in the first place. Isn't this right? That’s it for now.”
Obviously, Li Jiayi did not believe what Xu Weimin said. She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then continued to ask:
"You mean, this is what the Emperor meant?"
Hearing this, Xu Weimin understood that Li Jiayi had been tricked, and continued to lie:
"It's not like you don't know that the emperor has always been very wary of the Wen family. If you hadn't said hello in advance this time, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to get married. Don't forget, the emperor doesn't know Wen Yidi's life experience. In our eyes, Wen Yidi is the Wen family."
"So, letting Shi Huan marry Wen Yidi can, on the one hand, help the Wen family's reputation and let businessmen all over the world recognize his identity. On the other hand, it can also stop the Wen family's desire to take advantage. Now that Wen Yidi has married many The family should be clearly distinguished from the Wen family."
Seeing that Li Jiayi's expression softened, Xu Weimin added the final spark:
"Besides, Wen Yidi is your biological flesh and blood. In the final analysis, this matter is still our speculation. There is no concrete evidence. As long as this evidence is not found, Wen Yidi will not recognize it."
"My family, Shihuan, really wants to live a good life with him, so we have to think about the future. Taking this opportunity to draw a clear line with the Wen family, even if Wen Yidi lives up to his identity as a businessman, our Xu family can protect him."
I have to say that every word Xu Weimin said struck a chord in Li Jiayi's heart. She had suffered alone for too long, and finally had hope. Naturally, she didn't want to go back to the past.
However, every night late at night, she couldn't control her random thoughts. Could all this be a trap set by the Wen family? Is it just a coincidence that Wen Yidi looks similar to the consort Pei Yi?
Every time at this time, she would fall into endless pain and have difficulty sleeping all night. And at dawn, she would deceive herself and tell herself that she was overthinking and Wen Yidi was her child.
She began to hate herself, why she had to leave the baby to the wet nurse as soon as it was born. If they get along day and night, she may be able to understand the child better. It's a pity that she has never felt the connection between mother and son that others said.
When Wen Yidi stood in front of her, she was not sure that the child in front of her was her own flesh and blood, nor did she have the courage to admit that he was not her child.
Thinking of this, she sighed and nodded, obviously agreeing with Xu Weimin's statement. At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door behind him. Xu Shihuan seemed to have just woken up, and his voice sounded a little hoarse:
"Father, aunt, what are you two plotting behind closed doors?"
