First Secret Agent in History

After Wei Guogong Duan Bi saw Yun Zhonghe (Ao Yu), his face suddenly showed a little embarrassment.

Nu Langhou Ao Xin said: Yu'er, what are you doing here? Why don't you pay your respects to your father-in-law?

Yun Zhonghe stepped forward and bowed down and said, My son-in-law pays homage to my father-in-law.

Duan Bi, Duke of Wei, smiled heartily and said, My good nephew is well. I am so happy to know that you have returned home safely.

There is something wrong here. He is called a good nephew instead of a good son-in-law.

Nu Lang Hou Ao Xin's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately said: Wei Guogong, what do you mean by this? Does it mean that the engagement we made before does not count, are you going to renege on your word?

Wei Guogong said: Dear brother, come in and chat, come in and chat.

Nu Langhou Ao Xin said: No, let's just talk here.

Wei Guogong Duan Bi said: Brother Ao Xian, of course the marriage contract we made counts. We are all century-old nobles of the Zhou Dynasty. How can the marriage contract not count? It's just that things have changed.

Ao Xin said: What change?

Duan Bi said: Some time ago, it was rumored that nephew Ao Yuxian was seriously ill. Isn't it possible that something unexpected might happen? There will be no news in the next few months, and my daughter is not too young, so we can't let her be delayed forever. But we have You can't ruin this engagement. His Majesty the Emperor just decreed that Ao Ming be adopted as your heir. So I discussed it with your old man and got engaged to my Yingying and your Ao Ming. So we are still In-laws, except that Yingying married Ao Ming, not Ao Yu.

As soon as these words came out, Yun Zhonghe's eyes shrank.

The information clearly stated that in November of the previous year, Duan Bi and Ao Xin made a marriage contract, and the two families were married.

At that time, this marriage shocked the entire Southern Zhou Empire.

Duan Yingying is not only the legitimate daughter of Wei Guogong, but also a famous talented woman in Jiangzhou Prefecture. She is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Those who pursue her are like carps crossing the river.

And who is Ao Yu? Basically, no introduction is needed.

The most useless person in the Southern Zhou Empire, who was killed by thousands of people, and the patron of low-level prostitutes.

This reputation can no longer be described as smelly. Duan Yingying is betrothed to Ao Yu? It cannot be described with toads and swans, nor with flowers stuck on cow dung.

After the news of this engagement came out, countless young heroes were heartbroken and wrote countless painful poems, as if they felt that they had lost their love forever.

There are even many nobles who laugh at Duke Wei in their hearts. You are also a dignified Duke, a top noble. Even if Ao Xin is a powerful official of the empire, others need to please him, but you don't need it, right? Your title is higher than Ao Xin.

Moreover, Duan Yingying is an arrogant and talented woman, so everyone will think that she will resist the marriage.

But she didn't expect that she would accept it quietly, which was totally out of character for her.

But at that time, the fat man Ao Yu felt that he was not worthy of Duan Yingying, so he took the initiative to escape from the marriage.

When Yun Zhonghe read this piece of information, he was really surprised. Duan Yingying was arrogant and arrogant, and her eyes were higher than Xiang's. How could she agree to marry Ao Yu? She probably couldn't even look down on Ao Yu.

But Ao Xin and his wife were very happy at that time.

They think their sons are excellent and extremely good. But in everyone's eyes, Ao Yu is the number one loser. So now that you are not young and your marriage is still not settled, you can't find a small family, right?

I want to find a good match, but I can't find one at all. Even the other women look down on Ao Yu. Now that Wei Guogong is planning to get married, Ao Xin and his wife are of course extremely happy.

Not only can their fat men marry a wife, but they can also marry a daughter-in-law who is first-class in appearance, figure, talent, education, and status. Every parent wants their son to be honorable and marry a good wife.

But Yun Zhonghe was born with a conspiracy theory, so of course he didn't think so.

The reason why Duke Guo of Wei proposed the marriage was actually very heartbreaking.

That is because he felt that Ao Yu would definitely die.

Ao Yu's poor health is not completely a secret in the top aristocratic circles. Many doctors have judged that he will definitely not live long, that is, in the past two years.

Therefore, it was certain to select a young and talented person from the Ao family to adopt as Ao Xin.

Adoption is very common among nobles, and can even be said to be countless.

Not to mention others, Ao Xin himself was adopted. His biological father was Ao Ting, and the previous generation of Nulanghou was Ao Qing. He had three sons in total, so there was no shortage of heirs.

But in a battle with the Kingdom of Daliang, two sons died, leaving only one younger son, Du Miaomiao.

Unexpectedly, the youngest son contracted smallpox and died young.

Therefore, Ao Qing, the Marquis of Nulang in the previous generation, had no heir, so he adopted the most outstanding young man from the clan, namely Ao Xin.

At that time, Ao Xin had already stood out among military generals. In his early twenties, he had been promoted to General Ying Yang based on his military merit.

And now the old man of the Ao family that Duke Wei is talking about is Ao Xin's biological father Ao Ting. He is also the head of the Ao family, and he always has a firm say in the affairs of the family.

Ao Xin usually calls Mr. Ao Ting his eldest father and is absolutely respectful and filial.

It was also Mr. Ao Ting's will that Ao Ming pass to Ao Xin.

This is what Duan Bi, Duke of Wei, valued.

Because Ao Ming is top-notch in terms of talent, reputation, appearance, and bearing.

From every aspect, Ao Ming and Duan Yingying are a match made in heaven.

As long as Ao Yu dies and Ao Ming takes over, Duan Yingying will naturally marry Ao Ming.

Therefore, Wei Guogong was planning for a rainy day. As long as Ao Yu died a year and a half later, Ao Ming and Duan Yingying would come to the church to get married.

Some time ago, Mr. Ao Ting got engaged directly to Duke Wei for Ao Ming and Duan Yingying.

Let's put it this way, the Duke of Wei and his family were absolutely applauded for Ao Yu's death.

Now she finally understood why Duan Yingying didn't resist the marriage, because she knew that Ao Yu would die, and she wanted to marry Ao Ming, a talented and beautiful man, not Ao Yu, a loser.

At this time, Nulanghou Ao Xin felt extremely angry.

Even if he no longer understands the ways of the world and knows how to behave, he still understands the connotation of this.

So heartbreaking!

Your Duke of Wei looked down on our fat son at that time, so you shouldn't propose marriage.

You haven't married yet, but you hope that my fat girl will die soon and then you marry Ao Ming?

Suddenly Ao Xin said angrily: Why didn't I know about Duan Yingying and Ao Ming's engagement?

Wei Guogong said: You were away fighting at that time, focusing on national affairs. How dare you disturb your love for your children? Moreover, you always come to ignore family affairs, and everything is decided by your father. And during that time, our family's Our ancestor was infected with wind and cold and was in critical condition. Yingying grew up under the knee of her grandma, so she was very filial, so she proposed to celebrate her grandma's birthday and help her recover. So the two families decided to get married. As a result, our family When our ancestors were happy, they really recovered.

Yeah?

What a coincidence!

Then why doesn't my wife know? Ao Xin said angrily.

Wei Guogong said: My wife was seriously ill at that time. We were afraid of causing too much irritation to him, so we didn't tell her.

Hahaha... Nulang Hou Ao Xin laughed in anger.

As an important minister of the empire, he was either fighting outside or busy at court all year round.

That is to say, he has just been a little leisurely recently and has been away from home all year round.

Therefore, everything in the family was left to the old man Ao Ting, and of course, his wife took charge of the affairs in the house.

The relationship between his wife and his old man Ao Ting was very tense, and Ao Xin was always caught in the middle.

Of course, the root cause of the bad relationship between Mrs. Nulanghou and Mr. Ao Ting is still because of Ao Yu.

The old man disliked Ao Yu very much and would scold and punish her at every turn. Mrs. Nu Langhou contradicted the old man many times for the sake of her son.

Therefore, the relationship between father-in-law and daughter-in-law is very bad.

Because although Ao Ting is Ao Xin's biological father, he is still an uncle in name, so Mrs. Nu Langhou can barely fight against each other in the mansion.

However, when Ao Yu became seriously ill, Mrs. Nu Langhou was sad all day long, shed tears, and completely let go of family affairs.

Therefore, Mr. Ao Ting took over all the power and insisted on one thing.

Just yesterday, Ao Xin insisted on visiting the old man Ao Ting before eating. But Mrs. Nu Langhou insisted on going after eating, so as not to kneel there and listen to the lecture endlessly.

Ao Xin couldn't defeat his wife, so he took Yun Zhonghe to meet the old man Ao Ting after dinner.

The results of it?

Ao Yu was completely ignored by the old man.

Old man Ao Ting kept lecturing Ao Xin for half an hour.

Now both Yun Zhonghe and Ao Xin can see it.

Letting Ao Ming inherit the title of Marquis of Nulang is the common will of the entire Ao family, and it is also the will of the entire Wei Guogong family.

Moreover, the emperor personally came forward to adopt Ao Ming. On the surface, it was a favor to Ao Xin, but it may not be that Ao family and the Duke of Wei were using their power.

So Ao Ming has a huge backing.

Not only the old man Ao Ting, but also the entire Ao family, as well as the Duke of Wei.

Ao Xin was really chilled.

The Nulang Marquis Mansion was already in decline. It was only because of his fighting and fighting outside that the Ao family achieved its current glory.

Because Ao Xin was not given the title of Duke, all three brothers were granted the title of Count.

How prominent is the Ao family at this time?

So this is how you plotted against me behind my back?

What do you think my son Ao Yu is? Playing like a fool?

You don’t like my son, let’s make it clear! Why do we have to pretend to get married? Then you can't wait for him to die and marry Ao Ming?

It's so heartbreaking.

Farewell! Nulang Hou Ao Xin looked livid and left directly.

Duan Bi, Duke of Wei, said: My parents, please go ahead. You still have to decide the marriage arrangements for the next two children. You are Ming'er's father.

When Duan Bi, Duke of Wei, said this, he glanced at Yun Zhonghe.

The meaning is very clear.

What kind of talent is Ao Ming? What a waste is your biological son Ao Yu? Originally, he was dead and everything was fine, but now he is back.

Just come back and treat it like trash.

Ao Ming is your future, and he can carry forward the Nulang Marquis Mansion.

Nu Langhou Ao Xin ignored it and walked away with a cold face.

…………………………

After Ao Xin left.

When Wei Guogong returned to the inner house, his old mother, the dowager of Wei Guogong's mansion, said, Ao Xin is gone?

He's gone. Wei Guogong said, He's still so incompetent.

The wife of the Duke of Wei said, His son, you didn't let him in, did you?

Wei Guogong said: No.

A woman with a picturesque face next to her smiled and said: Nu Langhou is really naive. Does he really think that I can fall in love with his biological son? If it weren't for Ming Lang, why would our family have a rare marriage with Nulanghou Mansion?

A middle-aged woman next to her said: Isn't it like this? No matter how powerful Ao Xin is, he is just a passing cloud, a nouveau riche in the officialdom. He has not yet come into the eyes of our Duke of Wei, and is just a mere Marquis.

At this time, another cold voice sounded.

Why didn't that good-for-nothing Ao Yu die outside? If he died outside, everyone would be happy, but he came back alive.

………………………………

On the way, Nulanghou Ao Xin’s eyes were red.

How dare he let his son suffer such humiliation!

No, this is not only a shame for his son Ao Yu, but also a shame for his Ao Xin.

I, Ao Xin, don’t know how to be a human being, I only know how to fight, and I don’t form any cliques in the court, but I am a hussar general, are you plotting against me like this?

Yu'er, I'm sorry for you as a father. Ao Xin said: In the past ten years, I have been fighting outside and seldom took care of my family. I have made you and your mother suffer.

Yun Zhonghe smiled and said: I don't think it's anything. I was very surprised at the time. Duan Yingying is arrogant and has eyes higher than her neck. How could she like me?

Ao Xin said: Originally, I thought that there would be nothing wrong with letting Ao Ming inherit the title and you could spend your life happily. Now it seems that this cannot be the case. Your mother is right. If you inherit the title in the future, you can still live happily. Protect yourself. If your title is taken away by someone else, you will be bullied until you have no place to stand after you become a father for a hundred years.

Then, Ao Xin clenched her fist and said, Don't worry, as a father I will never let you suffer injustice in vain. I will seek justice for you.

………………………………

Ao Xin just returned home.

His wife just threw a cup at him.

Ao Xin originally wanted to hide, but the thought of hiding made his wife even more angry. So he stood motionless and let the cup hit his forehead and break.

Mrs. Nu Langhou was stunned and said angrily: Are you stupid? You can't even hide when a cup is thrown at you?

She felt distressed, but she had always been very tough. Even if she felt distressed, she didn't want to talk about it.

Marquis Nulang is away from home all year round, so he feels he owes a lot to his wife and doesn't care about her bad temper.

Moreover, although his wife has a bad temper, she is very virtuous and the relationship between husband and wife is also very good.

After her precious fat son came back, Mrs. Nulanghou recovered immediately and got up from bed, so she naturally heard about the engagement between Ao Ming and Duan Yingying.

Suddenly she was about to explode with rage.

Bullying my son like this?

Bullying my family like this?

What's the meaning? My son Ao Yu is not dead yet, can you, Duan Yingying, be impatient to get engaged to Ao Ming instead?

Ao Xin is not at home, so I can't inform him. Why don't you even inform me, the Marquise's wife?

Ao Ting, you old man, what do you think of me, the wife of the Marquis?

And Wei Guogong, are you in such a hurry? what does it mean?

Several families have long wanted to push Ao Ming to the top?

Don’t forget, the title of Marquis of Nulang belongs to my family, not yours.

It doesn’t belong to your Duke Wei, nor does it belong to your Ao Ting Lao Immortal.

Then she blamed her husband Ao Xin. All day long, he only immerses himself in fighting. He doesn't know how to be a good person, doesn't know how to form a party, and doesn't know how to deal with the world. However, he is still stupid and filial. That's why he is bullied like this?

Ao Xin, I tell you, you should go see your eldest father now, immediately, immediately. Mrs. Nulanghou said: Not only your eldest father, but also your three earl brothers, all of them Everyone should be present. Tell them plainly that our Fatty family is back, so there is no need for an adopted heir. Where did Ao Ming ask him to come from and where to go. No one should worry about this Marquis of Nulang, it is my family Fatty, even if I am destroyed in his hands, I am willing to do so, and I am definitely not willing to take advantage of outsiders. Don’t talk about the family business, and don’t talk about carrying it forward. You can’t even protect your own wife and children. What else are you talking about about the family business?”

Ao Xin, if you don't go today, I will take Pangpang to have a falling out with your eldest father. I don't believe there is no room for reason in this world.

Everything in the family is supported by you outside, and the Ao family has the power it has today. But you are bullied like this. Do you think you are useless? You have been an official in the court for so many years. In addition to fighting, you have also What's going on, you won't form cliques for personal gain? You won't recruit disciples?

Seeing that his wife was going too far away again, Nulanghou Ao felt helpless and said quickly: I'll go, I'll go! Madam, I'll go see the eldest father immediately.

I'll follow you. Madam Nulanghou said.

Don't, don't, said Nulanghou Ao Xin, You have such a bad temper. I'm afraid it will intensify the conflict and do bad things instead.

Then, Nu Langhou Ao Xin took a deep breath, pulled Yun Zhonghe and said, Let's go, follow me.

………………………………

Ao Xin, Marquis of Nu Lang, is really a very simple person. He only cares about fighting and doesn't care about anything else.

He was troubled by the strife and power struggles in the officialdom and the selfishness of the family members.

He is really a person who is very afraid of trouble. It is best to just focus on fighting for the rest of his life and leave him alone for the rest of his life.

On the battlefield, he was decisive and decisive.

But at home, he is really bad at rejecting relatives, especially his eldest father, three brothers, and of course his wife.

So every time his wife quarreled with him, he would listen silently and would not argue.

You can say that this kind of person is simple, or you can say that he has character flaws.

Arrive outside the family ancestral hall.

Ao Xin even took a few nervous breaths. He really couldn't face the next situation.

But for Fatty, his father must step forward.

He was really nervous, though.

Angry and nervous.

Master Marquis, ancestor, please come in. The butler bowed.

Ancestor?

When did the Ao family have an ancestor? Haven't you always called me old man?

Have you become an ancestor now?

There is an ancestor in the Duke of Wei's mansion, so does the Duke of Nulang's mansion also have an ancestor?

Nulang Hou Ao Xin is not sensitive to this. To him, all ancestors and old men are the same.

But Yun Zhonghe is different. He can sensitively perceive the meaning behind any title.

Nulang Hou Ao Xin took Yun Zhonghe into the ancestral hall.

All the prominent members of the Ao clan are here, dozens of them.

There were five old people sitting on the top, and in the middle was Ao Ting, the head of the Ao clan and Ao Xin's biological father.

The people sitting below are all his cousins, and at the front are three brothers who have been made earls.

The only one standing is the proud son of the Ao family, Ao Ming!

Ao Xin stepped forward, knelt down and said, Greetings to the great father, and to the four uncles.

Ancestor Ao Ting snorted coldly, but the four old Ao people next to him were polite and raised their hands and said: Get up, get up!

Then, Ao Ming came to Ao Xin, knelt down and said, My son pays homage to his father.

Ao Xin's face twitched and she said, Get up.

Ancestor Ao Ting said: Third brother, I heard that you went to the Duke of Wei's mansion? And you lost your temper? You have such great official authority. My hussar general, you have the authority to show off outside. Don't play it at home, let alone your in-laws' house, don't embarrass my Ao family.

Ao Xin bowed and said, Uncle, it's true that the Duke of Wei has gone too far in bullying others.

Ancestor Ao Ting said angrily: Third brother, what do you mean? I don't have the right to make the decision on the marriage of the younger generation in the family, do I? You are very majestic in the court, and the hussar general is very powerful. But in this I have the final say at home. You took the opportunity to show off your dissatisfaction with me. Are you disobeying me?

The Southern Zhou Empire also governed the country with filial piety, and the fathers crushed people to death.

As soon as ancestor Ao Ting said these words, Nulanghou Ao Xin could only kneel on the ground immediately.

Ancestor Ao Ting said: Third brother, let me ask you a question: Do I have the right to make the final decision on the marriage of the younger generation in the family?

Ao Xin said: Yes.

Ancestor Ao Ting said: Then what else do you say? Why did you come to the ancestral hall with such a big fanfare? Let's just disperse now!

Ao Ting knew nothing about this son.

There are those who are bored by reading, and there are those who are bored by fighting.

And this Ao Xin is a military fanatic and a dumb-talker. It's best to control him and he won't be able to make a big difference.

However, at this time, Nulanghou Ao Xin twisted his neck and said: Uncle, today I invite all the elders and brothers to come here for one thing. My son Ao Yu has returned, so there is no need for an heir. Ao Ming is the elder brother. Son, how can I bear to take it away.

As soon as these words came out, the whole crowd changed color.

Only the face of the person involved, Ao Ming, did not change, and he could even be called an ancient well.

Ancestor Ao Ting slammed the table and said angrily: Ao Xin, what are you going to do? Are you going to rebel? Ao Ming was adopted into your lap. Not only did the whole clan approve, but even His Majesty the Emperor agreed. What are you doing? Do you want to resist the decree?

Ao Xin said: His Majesty the Emperor heard about Yu'er's accident and couldn't bear that I was old and helpless, so he asked Ao Ming to adopt me as his heir. Your Majesty is so kind. As a minister, of course I am grateful. But now that Yu'er is back, I naturally don't need an heir. , I believe His Majesty can understand it.

No. Ancestor Ao Ting said: This matter has been settled as it is, there is no need to discuss it. Ao Ming is your heir and will inherit your family business and title in the future.

Nulang Hou Ao Xin knelt on the ground and said firmly: My family business will naturally be inherited by my son, and there is no need to discuss this matter.

As soon as these words came out, ancestor Ao Ting's expression changed completely.

This was the first time that his son Ao Xin had violated his will.

After all, he is the Marquis of Nulang and the pillar of the family. Once Ao Xin is so fierce and determined, even as the eldest father, Ao Ting will not be able to handle it.

Suddenly, Ao Ting softened his tone and said: Lao San, everything I do for my father is for your own good. What kind of reputation and future does Ming'er have outside? What kind of reputation and future does Ao Yu have? Can he inherit it? Ao Ming is the only one who owns your family business, and Ao Ming is the only one who can carry forward the family business. Do you think the Ao family belongs to you alone? Do you think Nulanghou Mansion belongs to you alone? Let Ao Yu inherit it. Do you want your family to be ruined if you inherit the title? Do you want your ancestors to live in peace under the Nine Springs?

Ao Yu likes to mess around and play, so let him keep playing. Ao Ming will inherit your title and your family business. He will naturally take good care of this younger brother in the future. What are you worried about?

Once Ao Yu is allowed to inherit the family business and inherit the title, will our Ao family still have a future?

Ao Xin, the Marquis of Nulang, said: My Yuer family is very good, and there is nothing that cannot be inherited. Besides, among many nobles, there are many unworthy sons who inherit the family business. The ups and downs of family fortunes are quite normal.

From this sentence, we can see how dumb Ao Xin is, and how normal the ups and downs of her family fortune are.

Although it is the truth, what truth are you talking about?

Are you not saying that even if your family is in decline, you still want to pass on the title to your good-for-nothing son?

Ao Ting said coldly: Lao San, are you determined?

Ao Xin said: Yes.

Ao Ting said: Third brother, I didn't want to expose it originally, but now I have to say it. Not only can this Ao Yu not inherit your title, but your family fortune is not even worthy of being a descendant of my Ao family. He is just a Just a lonely ghost.

Ao Xin roared: Father, don't talk nonsense!

Ao Ting said: This Ao Yu is not your biological son at all, and he is not the flesh and blood of my Ao family at all. This is a family scandal, and I can't bear to expose it, but you are so obsessed with it, I can only bear the pain to expose it. This is a scandal.

Ao Xinhan said in a cold voice: Father, you must provide evidence when you speak.

Ancestor Ao Ting said: Of course I have evidence, come here! Prepare to shed blood to recognize your kin!

After a while, someone brought a bowl.

Ancestor Ao Ting said: Let's admit your kinship with blood! Ao Xin, if your blood and Ao Yu's blood are incompatible, it proves that you are not father and son. This Ao Yu is not the son of my Ao family, but a bastard outside. I’m going to kick him out of the house today.”

The face of Nu Langhou Ao Xin changed drastically.

Ao Ting sneered and said: Why don't you dare? A bastard has developed feelings and has to hand over his title and family property? Don't you dare to admit your kinship with blood? Don't you dare to face reality?

If you don't dare to admit your kinship with blood, does that mean that you are tacitly admitting that Ao Yu is not your biological flesh and blood?

Come here, drive this Ao Yu out of the ancestral hall and home.

Without saying a word, Yun Zhonghe took out his knife and said with a smile: Why don't you dare to confess your blood? But I do want to know, if my father and I have blood compatibility, which proves that we are biological father and son, what do you want to do?

Ao Ting said coldly: Then I will resign as the clan leader in public.

Yun Zhonghe said: Okay, it's a deal!
