When Prime Minister Xu saw Xu Haoran coming back, he was confused.
The princess clearly said that Xu Haoran is the person she wants and will not appear again in the future.
Even if he appears again, it will be her county horse, someone who appears with a new identity.
Xu Haoran was completely dead.
What's going on now? He was actually named a loyal general by the emperor. This official position is almost equal to his.
"What?! The emperor gave you Fukang Garden?"
Prime Minister Xu had a look of shock on his face, he couldn't believe that his son had also caught the emperor's eye.
At this moment, Prime Minister Xu was a little confused.
Looking at Xu Haoran, the eldest son, he doubted his decision for the first time.
He devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivating the Youran brothers and sisters, hoping that they would stand out, honor their ancestors, and earn face for him.
But the two brothers and sisters, whom he didn't value, did it easily without relying on him.
Looking at his son's cold expression, Prime Minister Xu finally knew that his son had also left him.
Prime Minister Xu was stunned as he watched his son pass by him expressionlessly.
"master!"
The housekeeper is a sensible person, and he clearly knows that his master was unpopular with both sides, and now he is unpopular with both sides.
Prime Minister Xu was still looking at Xu Haoran's back and murmured: "Butler, have I done anything wrong these years?"
"The brothers and sisters I had high hopes for couldn't hold up the wall one by one, but the brothers and sisters I despised sat in a position where I looked up to them."
"Now Madam and Youran are quarreling every day because of the dowry prepared for the queen, and the brother and sister also ignore the truth."
"What has the truth been doing all these years?"
The prime minister returned to the room as if he had lost his soul, sat on the dressing table and looked at himself in the mirror.
I remembered the scene when I first met those two children’s mothers when I was young.
Rou'er already had a fiancé at that time, and he fell in love with him in order to make her fall in love with him.
He personally led the people to destroy her entire family, and then appeared as a savior. As expected, Rouer fell in love with him.
In the past few years, they had been in love, and he was even more happy for their two children.
But it happened that the scene did not last long, Rou'er still found out that one of the people who killed her family was his subordinate.
As a result, he began to doubt him and even wanted to kill him.
He could forgive her for killing him, but he would never allow her to escape, so he imprisoned her.
This sentence lasted for more than ten years.
He lied to the outside world that she was dead, and then in order to make her jealous, he married Wu, who was helpful to him.
Later, for some reason, everything changed. He began to listen to Wu's words and ignored the two children.
He even regards the two children as bargaining chips, a bargaining chip to force Rou'er, and a stepping stone to ascend to the top.
Now, in retrospect, he was not only wrong in the past ten years, but maybe he was wrong from the beginning.
He shouldn't have brought Rou'er to him in such an extreme way.
An honest pursuit may not make Rou'er fall in love with him.
Wrong, wrong, these things were wrong from the beginning.
Taking out the key to the secret passage, Prime Minister Xu walked in.
When Zhang Yuerou saw the person coming, she immediately put herself on guard and looked at him with vigilance.
Seeing the person he once loved looking at him like a hedgehog, Prime Minister Xu smiled self-deprecatingly.
Sitting outside the cage where she was imprisoned, Prime Minister Xu didn't say anything, just quietly looking at the person he had loved for half his life.
Zhang Yuerou didn't know what he was planning, so she stared at him.
After being locked up here all these years, what she hated most was that he used a pair of children to force her to commit herself to him.
Every touch of this man made her sick.
Seeing her expression, Prime Minister Xu smiled self-deprecatingly again, looking at her with deep affection in his eyes: "Rou'er, if our acquaintance hadn't started like that, would you have fallen in love with me?"
"Are we happy now?"
Mentioning the acquaintance between the two, Zhang Yuerou became emotional: "No, if I had to do it all over again, I would rather go to hell with my family than get to know you, a hypocritical and sanctimonious man."
"What I, Zhang Yuerou, regret most in my life is marrying you!"
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Xu stood up and showed a crazy smile.
"Rou'er, I will never let you go in this life. Since you were wrong from the beginning, let's keep making mistakes."
"Even if I hate you, I won't let you go."
"You lunatic!" Zhang Yuerou held the big iron cage holding her and shouted at the top of her lungs.
Marquis Ouyang accepted the imperial edict with a confused look on his face, looked at the rewards all over the yard, and then looked at his daughter.
Ouyang Zhixia blinked, his focus was not on these things at all: "Father-in-law, you said General Xu is back, right?"
"He's at home now, isn't he?"
Eunuch Li Quan nodded, and then explained that Xu Haoran was now a loyal general, and the emperor had given him the Fukang Garden Mansion.
Then he reminded Mr. Ouyang, which probably meant that General Zhongyi needed to buy a lot of things for his new residence.
Although the emperor wanted to reward Xu Haoran with some money, the title of General Zhongyi was already a high one.
If more money is given, the minister will not be able to justify it, so the extra money means...
Master Ouyang nodded repeatedly to reassure Eunuch Li Quan.
In this way, Eunuch Li Quan went back to resume his duties.
Mrs. Ouyang was overjoyed and called her daughter a blessing, and Xu Haoran was a person who survived the disaster and had a happy future.
The news about Xu Haoran's return was that he was seriously injured and was rescued by a farmer, so his return was delayed.
So Ouyang Zhixia wanted to visit Xu Haoran when her father-in-law left.
"Be more reserved. What do girls look like?" Mrs. Ouyang quickly grabbed her daughter.
Marquis Ouyang also nodded: "You girl, when did you meet the emperor and promised to add makeup to you, but you didn't even say a word, which scared your father and me to death."
For no reason, the father-in-law appeared with an imperial edict, wouldn't he be frightened to death?
Ouyang Zhixia smiled: "I don't know if the emperor is joking or telling the truth."
"Nonsense, the emperor keeps his word, can it be a joke?" Ouyang Houye scolded.
Then he looked at the things in the yard and became happy again: "My son is blessed. When he gets married, he will have the emperor's blessing. How many people will envy him."
"Haoran used a lot of money in Fukangyuan. Madam, please go to the warehouse to see how much money can be used. These royal gifts cannot be spent."
"Okay, okay."
Xu Haoran came back safely. Not only Wu and his daughter were panicked, but also his former good brother, Chen Ziyi.
Xu Haoran looked at the guilty-looking good brother in front of him, his face expressionless, and he didn't feel soft at all for his apology.
"Haoran, I'm really sorry, but the princess wants to hold me hostage, and I can't do anything about it."
Now Haoran is a loyal general with tens of thousands of troops in his hands. Chen Ziyi knows that this is a big help for him to ascend to the throne.
