After some thought, Tao Guogong thought.
While everyone was toasting, he winked at Liu Ming and lowered his voice and said, "Master Liu, I have an ulterior motive for this. This kid got wind of it and came to disrupt the situation for us!"
When Liu Ming heard Tao Guogong's words, he frowned at first.
It stands to reason that Duke Tao Guo and Prince Lin have a deep hatred.
Tao Tianming died in the hands of Prince Lin, his body still cold.
It was impossible for him to form an alliance with Prince Lin. In that case, he had misunderstood this old guy.
In order to take revenge, Tao Guogong had to sacrifice his own granddaughter. For such a righteous act, he couldn't cause him any trouble.
Liu Ming quickly settled his attention, with a firm look in his eyes.
"Mr. Liu! Come! To show that you can come to attend my Lord's banquet! My Lord! Let me give you a drink! I wish our cooperation in the future will be happy!"
When Tao Guogong saw Liu Ming thinking, his brows relaxed, so he raised his glass and invited him.
"Okay! Today is the day when Tao Guogong's granddaughter and Prince Lin receive their marriage from the Emperor Daxia. Let's toast them!"
Liu Ming already understood Tao Guogong's intention at this time. In order to prevent his subordinates from continuing to make noise, he stood up and invited everyone to raise a glass of congratulations.
"Congratulations, Prince Lin!"
"Congratulations to Duke Tao!"
"Congratulations……"
Although the people below did not understand, with Liu Ming taking the lead, they all stood up and raised their glasses to congratulate him.
"Thank you everyone!"
When Wang Lin saw this, he also raised a glass of wine and drank with everyone.
"Mr. Tao Guo, it's getting late! I have other things to deal with, so I won't interrupt you any further!"
Liu Ming looked at everyone raising their glasses and drinking together, without any intention of sitting down. He looked directly at Tao Guogong with a trace of apology on his face.
"Master Liu! Then let's discuss it another day!"
Tao Guogong glanced at Wang Lin below without revealing anything, and then looked at Liu Ming.
There is no need to express the implication.
"Okay! Mr. Tao Guogong! Let's take our leave now!"
Liu Ming rushed to Tao Guogong and cupped his hands, then turned and left towards the courtyard.
"Mr. Tao Guo! See you later!"
"Mr. Tao Guogong! Let's meet again another day!"
"My lord! Goodbye!"
"..."
As Liu Ming said goodbye, everyone else also stepped forward to say goodbye.
After Tao Guogong saw Liu Ming leave, everyone began to leave, feeling angry.
Damn it, what a nice banquet, it was ruined by this bastard Wang Lin.
"Prince Lin! I didn't invite you here, so you come so rashly! Don't you understand my Daxia rules?"
Tao Guogong was filled with anger. He silently looked at Wang Lin, who was still eating, and scolded through gritted teeth.
"Master Guo! I don't know what the rules you are talking about are." Wang Lin looked at Duke Tao, then pointed at the gift he brought, and said in a deep voice: "The emperor granted me a marriage before, but you took the initiative to ask for it. I knew nothing about this, so I felt that agreeing was too abrupt. After returning to the house, I thought about it and always felt that it was inappropriate! So I specially prepared gifts and came to go through the ceremony of giving the betrothal gift. Express my feelings!"
Wang Lin spoke out the words he had already thought of in one breath.
His reasons are sufficient.
In one simple sentence, he wiped out the matter of disrupting the situation.
Even if Tao Guogong complained, he could not get angry.
Because, what he said and did was indeed true.
I didn't mess around with him here.
The gifts he brought were worth at least several thousand taels of gold.
This can be considered a large betrothal gift.
"You...this...you..."
After listening to Wang Lin's words, Tao Guogong was speechless. The words he had just thought of for a while could not be answered by Wang Lin's current words.
Don't reach out to hit the smiling man. Wang Lin is here to pay the betrothal gift. If he takes the opportunity to embarrass him, people will laugh if word spreads.
However, if he didn't say anything, he would feel even more aggrieved.
His dinner was quite expensive.
So many people were invited, but they all left without saying a word.
No one else would be happy.
Tao Guogong will definitely suffer the loss of being a mute today.
"Having said that, today, you came so rashly. My grandfather has offended so many people. It is not easy to explain to them!"
Tao Shihan stepped forward and looked at Wang Lin, with a hint of displeasure on her pretty face.
This was also what she meant to test Wang Lin.
I wonder how this guy would answer his question.
"Miss Tao, I think this is nothing! They are all here to congratulate us, so my coming here shouldn't be the icing on the cake. How can I offend them!"
Wang Lin had already heard the meaning of their words.
Faced with Tao Shihan's question, he almost blurted out a sentence.
"Although you are right, they just impeached you today! This is a bit inappropriate. Grandpa hosted a banquet for them to ease our relationship. After all, you are about to become my husband."
Tao Shihan looked at Wang Lin and began to press forward step by step.
"Miss Tao! They impeached me, but I don't think it matters. After all, I only care about the problems of the waterway in the county and did not have time to report to the court! This is my dereliction of duty!" Wang Lin looked at Tao Shihan with a hint of guilt. : "This time, I asked Tao Guogong to spend so much money just to ease our relationship! I'm really ashamed."
Tao Shihan was moved by Wang Lin's words.
His words are truly impeccable.
"Prince Lin! No need to be polite, we will be a family from now on!"
After hearing Wang Lin's words, Tao Guogong waved his hands and laughed loudly.
However, there was a hint of awe in his eyes.
Obviously, he is not as easy to fool as Tao Shihan.
He knows very well that Wang Lin is a difficult person to deal with. These words can be used to deal with an ignorant girl, but to deal with him, he still needs some heat.
However, after all these polite words have been said, no matter how difficult it is, it really cannot be justified.
Finally, Tao Guogong waved his hand and said: "Come here! Clean up! My Lord is tired!"
"Yes! Master!"
"yes!"
"As you command!"
"..."
The maids, guards, and servants all around respectfully accepted orders, and then began to get busy.
Wang Lin saw what Mr. Tao Guo meant, took a step forward, and said respectfully: "Dong Tao! I will leave first!"
"Okay! Prince Lin, please forgive me for sending you far away!"
As soon as Tao Guogong heard Wang Lin say goodbye, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, but he had no intention of seeing him off.
"Prince Lin, please!"
The old housekeeper looked at Wang Lin and waved respectfully.
"Good work!"
Wang Lin was very polite and hurriedly left the Duke's Mansion under the escort of the old housekeeper.
