Facing Liu Shirui who suddenly barged in, the old lady looked outside the house in confusion. She didn't know how her granddaughter could appear here at this time.
Aunt Zhou also gave the old lady a helpless look outside the house. She didn't know why her young lady appeared, but it was obvious that she couldn't stop Liu Shirui, so she had to let her in.
Taking a deep breath, the old lady knew that she might not be able to achieve what she wanted today, but she still wanted to fight for it.
"Rui'er, I let Zhou Wenbin separate from you for your own good. Zi Heng has returned to the Hou Mansion now. Next, we will work hard and strive to get Zi Heng into the Hou Mansion's family tree as soon as possible. We will raise Zi Heng well and prosper in the future. Our Hou Mansion still needs Zi Heng. He has the blood of the Hou Mansion. In the future, the title of Marquis Xingyong will have to be inherited by him. Otherwise, if your affairs are exposed, not only will you not end well, but the Hou Mansion will also suffer from you. Ziheng will also be criticized, and his whole life will be ruined, do you understand?"
Liu Shirui also changed her mind after hearing this, but when she thought of separating herself from Zhou Lang, she was unwilling to say anything: "Old lady, no matter what you say, I don't want to be separated from Zhou Lang and be married by you. I have already felt sorry for Zhou Lang by giving it to Zhang Yuhang, and there is no way I can agree to this matter."
Seeing the woman he loved so much defending himself, Zhou Wenbin squeezed Liu Shirui's hand tightly, as if to cheer himself up, and then stood up bravely: "Old lady, Ruier and I will not do the same. If you don’t want to separate, regarding Ziheng’s affairs and the future affairs between Rui’er and I, I have a method, please listen to it before making a decision, okay?”
The old lady also gave up. In this situation, her granddaughter has been brainwashed by Zhou Wenbin. She really can't even care about her granddaughter because of this matter. Otherwise, before Dao Ziheng grows up, if she is no longer here, who will Come and protect the future of your great-grandson.
Inheriting the title of the Marquis and passing on the family line has become her biggest obsession now.
Sighing: "Just tell me, I'll see if you have any good ideas."
Zhou Wenbin let go of Liu Shirui's hand, bowed his hand to the old lady, and then said: "Old lady, there is no direct bloodline in the Marquis Mansion, and there is no suitable heir to inherit the title of the Marquis Mansion even within the collateral line. Because Rui'er left me with Lian'er, after a doctor's diagnosis, it is no longer possible to give birth to an heir in this life."
"That is to say, Zi Heng is the only bloodline in the Hou family now. This is also the reason why Old Lady you are willing to come to me today to ask me to leave Rui'er, because you are worried that it will affect Zi Heng's future in the future, and you are also worried that Rui'er and I will continue to work together. Sooner or later someone will find out if this continues, and by then it will be too late to do anything, is Xiaosheng right?"
When the old lady heard this, she carefully looked at Zhou Wenbin's appearance at the moment, with a hint of sharpness in her eyes.
"Keep talking, I'm listening."
"So what I'm saying is that instead of living in secrecy like this, let's try another way."
Liu Shirui asked curiously: "Mr. Zhou, what are you going to do?"
"I want to use Zi Heng as an excuse to say that I am Zi Heng's father. I was ill before and in order not to delay Zi Heng's survival, I said that I died of illness. However, I was treated by a doctor. After being cured, I found my way to the capital. , after many inquiries, I found out that Ziheng was kindly taken in by the Hou Mansion, and came to recognize each other. You guys should cooperate with each other and find me an errand in the Hou Mansion. I can prepare for the imperial examination at the same time. This can also avoid Rui'er and I. Even though we are separated, we can still reunite with Zi Heng Lian'er's family."
The old lady laughed angrily and shouted loudly: "What a joke, you have a wonderful idea. Not only can your family be reunited, but you can also enjoy all the glory and wealth in our prince's mansion. But have you ever thought that your family is happy and happy, and that Yuhang What? What should he do?"
Zhou Wenbin didn't feel any emotion in his heart. He knew that it would not be so easy to convince the old lady. This was originally the argument he prepared for Liu Shirui, but today the old lady came to the door in person, how could he miss this perfect opportunity to enter the Hou Mansion.
"Old lady, to be honest with Zhang Yuhang, he is very innocent. I also know that what I did is a bit sorry for him, but my entry into the Hou Mansion is also an opportunity for him. I will find a suitable reason then. , let him make peace with Rui'er, otherwise Rui'er can't have children now, will he never be his own child in this life?"
"The most important thing is that although Xiaosheng has done nothing in the past four years, he has unexpectedly gained the attention of King Kang. In the future, when I enter the Marquis Mansion, I will join Prince Kang's line. I will not say that I will rise to the top, but I will protect Zi Heng. , it is still possible to recreate the momentum of our Xingyong Marquis Mansion in the future."
King Kang.
Not only was the old lady surprised, but Liu Shirui, who was standing aside at the moment, was also a little curious. How did he get in touch with King Kang?
The current Zhou Dynasty has been established for more than 600 years, and the Wu family has always been the most noble royal family.
Although His Majesty has seven princes today, the late Emperor only favored the Queen, who only had two sons.
One is the current His Majesty, King Wu Chengan of Zhou, and the other is His Majesty's younger brother, King Kang Wu Hongyi.
"How do you know His Highness Prince Kang? Are you sure Prince Kang will help you?" Obviously the old lady has been moved by Zhou Wenbin's words. If you can really catch up with Prince Kang's line, then Xingyong Hou Mansion will also A rising tide will lift all boats.
Zhou Wenbin looked at the old lady's expression and tone and knew that she had made the right bet this time. For such an old man, especially an old man who has experienced tremendous changes in the Hou Mansion, the inheritance and glory of the Hou Mansion have become what she cares about most. It is also the thing I cherish the most. Whether it can be accomplished now depends on myself.
"Although I have no reputation in the past few years, I don't dare to become ordinary. In the past, I often recited poems and arguments with my former friends to lay the foundation for my future political career. I also inevitably went to some romantic places and elegant gatherings. Previously, Rui In addition to daily expenses and buying books, most of the gold and silver given by my son were spent here."
"But fortunately, God has tempered me, and one of my poems was favored by His Highness Prince Kang. After that, I not only often discussed world affairs with His Highness Prince Kang, but also talked about estimates. I also got His Highness Prince Kang's promise. If I go to high school this time, His Highness Prince Kang is willing to give me I arrange a good job for me to be a good person, and even if I don't have high school, he is willing to promote me as a filial and upright official, so that I can express my desire for revenge."
Seeing this, Liu Shirui walked directly to the old lady and knelt down and kowtowed: "Old lady, this is the best result. As for Zhang Yuhang, don't worry. I will find a suitable Huanghua for him when he gets back. My daughter, wait for Zhou Lang to settle down and make peace with him, and then let him and the girl live a good life. Then everyone will have face, and they will not offend the Marquis of Yongchang. And only in this way, we are happy Only Yonghou Mansion has a future."
