The blackened marquis insists that the husband should be more valuable than the son!

At this moment, Xue Mingyue felt that the sky was about to collapse.

So, many people know that she was hiding in a side room crying? No wonder no one bothered her when she cried!

It was obvious that they didn't bother her presumptuously, just to avoid embarrassment.

but……

Grandfather and grandson looked at each other.

Xue Mingyue narrowed her eyes slightly. She was sure that her grandfather said this after he drank the medicine. He was deliberately retaliating for the bitter medicine she gave him. She chuckled: "Thank you for your concern. No one disturbed me, which made me feel comfortable." , but your medicine is very bitter, right?"

Lou Zhizhang: "It's okay, the candied fruit is very sweet."

The two looked at each other again, with a similar stubbornness on each other's faces.

Only they can do this kind of revenge, injuring the enemy by one thousand and damaging themselves by eight hundred.

Ji Zhenliu was almost laughing his head off.

Seeing this rare expression on his elder friend's face made him feel happy.

Xue Mingyue didn't want to remind herself of the embarrassing thing again and again, so she simply tried to skip the matter and said straight to the point: "Grandpa, I think we need to talk. I think you have misunderstood me."

"Do I need to avoid it?" Ji Zhenliu asked thoughtfully.

"No," Xue Mingyue shook her head. She just looked at her grandfather who was still slightly pale and said, "Before what happened yesterday, I told you that I wanted to make peace with Xie Lang. I wasn't kidding."

She sat upright and looked extremely serious.

Lou Zhizhang looked at his young granddaughter with soft eyes, nodded and said: "I know, but you are also very hesitant about this matter."

Ji Zhenliu's eyes widened slightly in surprise. He didn't expect that this was what the grandfather and grandson were going to talk about. And judging from Mr. Xie Xiaohou's recent movements, he should have true feelings for her.

He also heard about Xie Lang causing a scene in front of His Majesty.

This incident was no less serious than Princess Pingyang's incident, and it was even more serious. The entire Second Prince's faction was suppressed by him to a great extent.

Xue Mingyue admitted without hesitation: "Yes, I did hesitate because of some things before, but now I am very sure of my thoughts. I just want to make peace with Xie Lang."

"It seems to me that you were hurt because of him."

Lou Zhizhang was immediately dumbfounded: "But this is really just an accident."

After he recovered from his injury, the first thing he had to do was to replace the stone slabs on the way down the mountain. It would be too dangerous to slip when exposed to water. It would be best to install a guardrail.

"The premise for the accident to happen is your cooperation with Xie Lang."

Xue Mingyue insisted that she was always honest in front of those close to her and rarely hid her true thoughts.

Lou Zhizhang could understand her thoughts.

He laughed helplessly: "Then have you really thought about it?"

There was no time when she thought more clearly than now. Xue Mingyue unconsciously touched the sleeve where the letter was hidden. She nodded seriously and said: "Yes, I still want to reconcile. It comes from the truest feeling in my heart." idea."

She added finally.

The relationship between her and Xie Lang is like a rickety single-plank bridge. The two are standing at one end. Some are moving forward, while others are retreating. Trust is crumbling, and so is love.

It was very difficult to maintain a balance. Two lifetimes of experience made it difficult for her to completely trust him.

It would be better for both of us to end it here.

Xie Lang had something he wanted to do, and she also had someone she wanted to protect. It would be no good for two people who were completely opposite to each other to be forcibly bound together, and it was impossible for her to forget the past.

Although Xue Mingyue didn't want to admit it, the last point was the most important.

"In fact, the person who drugged me and Mr. Hou that day was Bai Zhenzhen, the cousin of the Hou Mansion, and this was originally a plan she had set for herself. If not for so many things that have happened recently, this matter would probably never happen again. It won’t be found out.”

She raised her head and looked over, and said frankly: "Bai Zhenzhen represents part of the Dingyuan Army to a certain extent. I can't compare to her."

Lou Zhizhang immediately frowned and fell into deep thought.

He didn't know anything about Bai Zhenzhen's relationship with the Dingyuan Army.

Ji Zhenliu suddenly said when he heard this: "Have you mentioned the matter of peace and separation with the young Marquis?"

"He doesn't agree, so I want grandpa to ask someone to help him deal with it. If the Marquis still doesn't agree, I have thought about going to His Majesty in person to ask for an imperial edict and to reconcile." Xue Mingyue shook his head.

Of course, if that were the case, it would be too ugly.

She didn't mind though.

Ji Zhenliu thought for a moment and said matter-of-factly: "I think it would be difficult for the young Marquis to agree to this matter."

"And even if you beg in front of His Majesty, it's impossible. The young Marquis has almost turned the whole Yongji City into chaos because of your disappearance. Everyone knows that he has deep love for you, and so does Your Majesty."

There was more, he didn't say.

In short, it is impossible for Emperor Jingping to agree to let the two reconcile. This is equivalent to a slap in his own face.

After saying this, Ji Zhenliu looked at his friend Lou Zhizhang again, but if it was him, there should be a way to do it.

Sometimes, people who have lived for a long time will always have a few friends who are very popular ministers, or even though they have retired now, they can still influence your majesty or the people in the court.

Xue Mingyue smiled lightly.

"You see, even though he has done so many things in the capital, I don't know anything about it."

Ji Zhenliu understood what she meant instantly.

Compared with those men who believe that women should stay in the back house and be their husband's wife, and that men should hold umbrellas to protect them from the wind and rain, Ji Zhenliu's views in this regard are not consistent with theirs.

In his opinion, there is actually no difference between men and women.

Because his wife, Princess Zhaoyang, is an excellent woman in all aspects. She is smart and sharp, gentle yet calm and strong. She can be her own umbrella holder without relying on others.

What she values ​​more is equal treatment and respect.

Before becoming husband and wife with her, Ji Zhenliu knew that his princess was proud and did not need to use any behavior to prove it.

Just like the girl in front of her who has been polished to have sharp edges.

The pride in Xue Mingyue's heart made her unable to accept her husband's concealment, even if it was for her own good. What she wanted was to be honest with each other.

And everything Mr. Xie Xiaohou did hit her mark.

Lou Zhizhang said warmly: "Going to find His Majesty is the last resort. Just leave this matter to Grandpa. I will go and meet with the Marquis after this matter is over. Don't worry."

Xue Mingyue nodded heavily.

She never worried that her grandfather would not be able to do something, just like when she was a child, he would always fulfill all her wishes.

After talking about this most important matter, Xue Mingyue finally remembered Lu Fang who she had left outside the door. However, she did not want to call anyone in, but asked curiously: "You have a close relationship with Master Lu." Okay?"

There was a hint of surprise in Lou Zhizhang's eyes.

He smiled and shook his head: "I can't say it's good, but looking at him always reminds me of a student from long ago."

Xue Mingyue subconsciously said: "Prince Jinggong?"
