Chapter 117 Let Me Go

The first condolence envoy came to the inn, and Xu Ze received him very warmly, but when asked when he was leaving, he said that his sister was terrified and was not in a hurry.

Seeing that the day of the autumn banquet was getting closer and Miss Xu was still in the inn, Dongjiang Wang Changshi was so anxious that he had to send another sympathy envoy.

One, two, three... None of them persuaded Mr. Xu, and Chang Shi finally came to his senses.

This Mr. Xu has made up his mind at all, and it is impossible to urge him like this.They obviously want to negotiate terms, so let's tell the prince honestly!

The king of Dongjiang coughed and listened, then drank the medicine under the service of his maid, and asked, "How is the investigation on Miss Xu's attack?"

Chang Shi paused for a moment, and replied: "The minister has already confessed, but there is still no clue..."

King Dongjiang nodded.The other party pretended to be a bandit and attacked, obviously it was not so easy to find out.

"Don't blame Mr. Xu for being angry. When I first learned about it, I was also very angry. Miss Xu accepted the invitation of Dongjiang Palace, and when she was attacked on the way, she slapped me in the face."

Chang Shi replied yes, and secretly scolded the Wei family in his heart.If you want to touch Miss Xu, if you do it quickly, then forget it. Now that you can't go up or down, even the prince is angry, how can he help?
But he can't do it if he doesn't help. With the help of the Wei family at the beginning, after decades, the interests are so intertwined that they can't be thrown away casually.

"My lord, Jiang Yi may have done this." Chang Shi said, "I heard that there is a boat left at the ferry over there, ready to go to Songyang. If this thing is really done, it will be a slap in the face of our Dongjiang Prince's Mansion." Slap, Jiang Yi must be very happy."

If they were to form an alliance with Nanyuan, Jiang Yi should be the most unhappy.If Dong Jiang and Nan Yuan turned their backs, Jiang Yi would definitely throw a big banquet to celebrate.

Dongjiang Wang Shun got angry, waved his hand and asked the maid to go down, and said in his mouth: "This is too obvious, it doesn't look like Jiang Yi's handwriting."

"My lord..."

King Dongjiang brought back the topic: "Prince Xu refused to leave because he was dissatisfied with our handling. This matter is indeed our fault, so let's give in. Immediately send someone to apologize, explain the reason, and ask them to come to Jiangdu first —Wait, you should go yourself.”

Chang Shi was taken aback.Since King Dongjiang fell ill, he was in charge of most of the affairs, and he could be called the first subordinate of King Dongjiang's mansion.It would be too prudent to ask him to pick it up in person, wouldn't it be telling others that Dongjiang bowed to Nanyuan?

Before Chang Shi could think of a word to refuse, a voice came from outside: "Father."

But it was the prince of Dongjiang who came.

The prince of Dongjiang didn't come alone, he was followed by a young man, who looked a bit similar in appearance at his average age.

"Wen'er." Seeing his son, King Dongjiang smiled.

Li Wen, the eldest son of Dongjiang Prince, stepped forward and supported his father: "Why hasn't father rested yet? It's already this hour."

"It's okay, I'm not tired of being a father." Wang Dongjiang patted his son's hand with a smile.

He has been bedridden this year, knowing that time may be running out, and he is most worried about his son. Although he is smart since childhood, he is still too young to support Dongjiang now, and the responsibility is too heavy.

"My nephew greets my uncle."

There was a voice next to his ear, King Dongjiang looked up and also smiled: "Erlang, you are here too."

This is Li Da, the second brother's son. He has few heirs, and he is very careful about his children, and he is also very close to his nephew.

The second son Li Da said with a smile on his face, "How is Uncle today? My nephew just finished patrolling the barracks with Eldest Brother. I thought I hadn't seen Uncle for two days, so I followed to see."

"Please worry about it, uncle is fine."

After greeting, Li Wen said: "Father, what were you talking about just now? Look at Lu Changshi's face, is there any embarrassment?"

The king of Dongjiang had already handed over the government affairs to his son little by little, so when he asked about it now, he asked Chang Shi to explain it to him.

After hearing this, Li Wen smiled and said, "Father, Lu Changshi is busy with affairs, so it's better not to tell him to run around."

After hearing this, Chang Shi heaved a sigh of relief and bowed to him.Still the son is considerate, what is his identity?If I went to meet Miss Xu personally, if I hadn't hired her as the concubine, how could I be worthy of it?This time, it really made people pile up the momentum.

Immediately afterwards, he heard Li Wen say: "Let me go, it seems sincere."

The smile on Chang Shi's face immediately collapsed, and he shouted: "My son!"

Li Wen turned his head and looked at him puzzled: "What happened to Lu Changshi?"

Chang Shi managed to stabilize his emotions, squeezed out a smile, and said, "Why are you bothering the prince? You have to deal with so many government affairs every day, and you have to take time to serve the sick, so...you should go."

He went, but asked Eldest Miss Xu to put on airs, the prince is gone, is there anyone else who can be the concubine?

Li Wen waved his hand: "You can let go of other things. If this matter is not handled well, it will be called trouble."

He turned his head and said to King Dongjiang: "Father, this matter can be good or bad. At best, the Xu family thinks that others want to destroy our alliance. Not only will they not blame them, but they will get closer. At worst, they think We were at fault for this attack, so don’t talk about forming an alliance, it’s not bad if we don’t turn our backs.”

King Dongjiang thought for a while: "You are right."

With his father's approval, Li Wen smiled and continued: "Mr. Xu stayed at the inn because of our attitude. They were attacked at the Dongjiang border, and it was because we didn't treat guests well. If we don't make up for it afterwards, Doesn't it mean that we don't value the Xu family? Then we have to think again about forming an alliance."

King Dongjiang nodded: "It's the same thing, the news hasn't reached Nanyuan yet, otherwise Xu Huan's temper will be even more difficult to deal with."

"Exactly. The one who is seeing off now is Mr. Xu. Nanyuan said he has a good temper. As long as we are sincere enough, I believe he will not make things difficult."

King Dongjiang nodded.Is there anything more sincere than the prince personally going to greet him?This is indeed a good way.

Seeing that the king of Dongjiang was going to agree, Chang Shi didn't care, and hurriedly said: "But my lord, if you really call the son to go, it will be a signal to others. It means that the candidate for the son of the son has already been decided by Miss Xu. In this way , aren’t we being too passive?”

Before the king of Dongjiang could speak, Li Wen had already replied: "Lu Changshi, if this hadn't happened, naturally we shouldn't be too enthusiastic, lest the Xu family think we are in a rush. But now that it has happened, we have to lower our stance. Miss Xu was taken aback, as the host, you have to express something, if you are too reserved, let the Xu family misunderstand our attitude, and even affect the overall situation, it is not good."

After hearing these words, King Dongjiang smiled and nodded, expressing his support: "Wen'er is right, don't take it too seriously. For the sake of the overall situation, bowing your head is nothing."

Having said all that, what else can Lu Changshi say?He could only hold his breath and answer: "Yes."
