Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 276
Seeing people coming and going in the courtyard behind Yuan Xi, he looked inside the house and asked, "Can you go in and talk?"

Madam Wu bit her lip, and pinched her fingers on the door until her fingertips turned white. She finally let go of her hand and said softly, "Your Majesty, please come in."

Cao Xian pulled Cao Jie and hid far away in the corner. Seeing Yuan Xi enter Madam Wu's door, he couldn't help but click his tongue.

Cao Jie asked suspiciously, "Sister wants to see it, why don't you go in and see it?"

Cao Xian patted Cao Jie on the head lightly, "What do children know, I don't have to look at it now."

Cao Jie covered his head, seeming to understand, but he heard Cao Xian's mood faded, "We broke up, thought there was a good show, and this is the end?"

"It's estimated that the hour will not be out, I..."

Before she finished speaking, someone hit her on the head. Cao Xian turned around and saw Cai Zhaoji standing behind her, saying to herself, "How did you take care of your younger sister? Can you say that?"

"What if it reaches Madam's ears?"

"Don't spy on others all day, go back to the house!"

Cao Xian pulled Cao Jie, walked back resentfully, and suddenly realized: "Sister Zhaoji, why is it so coincidental that she is also here?"

Cai Zhaoji's face froze instantly, Cao Xian chuckled, and dragged Cao Jie away.

In the room, Mrs. Wu clutched her skirt and asked Yuan Xi to sit down first. When she turned around, she found that her daughter was holding a piece of pine ink and smelled it, and she was still babbling: "Smell, (╯▽╰) smells so good~~"

Mrs. Wu took out Song Mo from her daughter's hand and hugged it in her arms, but she heard Yuan Xi say: "Madam, this daughter, have you given a name yet?"

Mrs. Wu hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Not yet."

Yuan Xi tapped the mat under him lightly with his fingers, and said, "Since that's the case, I thought of a good name."

"Seeing that this child likes fragrance so much, how about calling him Shangxiang?"

Mrs. Wu's face turned pale instantly as if she had been struck by thunder.

She raised her head and said harshly, "This is impossible!"

As soon as Yuan Xi's words came out, Mrs. Wu knew that her identity had been exposed.

But she never thought that Yuan Xi would know her daughter's name!
Because the girl's boudoir name is only known to her parents, brothers and other closest people, her daughter Sun Shangxiang was named less than a year ago, and only Mrs. Wu and Sun Ce know it, how could Yuan Xi know?
Mrs. Wu felt more and more out of breath, she couldn't figure it out at all!
If it is said that his identity was exposed, it is possible that Yuan Xi summoned the common people in the city to interrogate him, but it is not enough to ask the question to the point where he even knows his daughter's name?
Could it be just a coincidence, Yuan Xi just said it casually?

Don't be lucky, it may be such a coincidence!

Madam Wu was so depressed that she wanted to vomit blood, she really didn't understand!

She looked at Yuan Xi with a calm expression, and with the final fluke in mind, she hurriedly said: "This name is good, so I will follow what the envoy said, and take Shang Xiang as her name."

After hearing this, Yuan Xi sighed: "Madam, let's open the skylight and speak honestly."

"Madam, please think about it carefully. I stayed in Guangling City for a few months. How could I not investigate the details of a woman of unknown origin who stayed in the city guard's mansion?"

"What's more, on the day the city was broken, I sent people into the city pretending to be slaves and brought gifts to the mansion. The guard at the time clearly said that the person in charge was a lady."

"After thinking about it carefully, the one who can be in charge of the Jiangdong tiger Sun Bofu's mansion should be the daughter of the Sun family, and the status must not be low."

"Later, I searched in Guangling City, and finally found a few domestic servants and maids who were in the mansion at that time, and questioned them carefully."

"Although Madam doesn't go out much on weekdays, and those servants don't know Madam's name, but they generally know her age."

"Sun Bofu is only 30 years old, but his wife is over [-]. In this way, the identity of his wife is almost ready to be revealed."

"I'm afraid my wife's surname is not Cai, but Wu?"

Madam Wu felt weak when she heard this. She tilted her body and said, "Why can't it be that I had already escaped when the city was broken?"

Yuan Xi nodded, "It's indeed possible, but I'm actually not sure."

"But then a lot of extraordinary things happened."

"Sun Bofu came too fast, so fast that no one expected it. This really does not conform to the law of military strategists."

"You must know that although soldiers are expensive and fast, within a day or two after the long-distance attack, the soldiers are exhausted and their combat power is weakest, but Sun Bofu has the intention of attacking the city, which is too abnormal."

"Afterwards, I released Qiao Rui to test, and wanted to see Sun Bofu's reaction, but was disturbed by Guan Yu's arrival, so I couldn't confirm it in the end."

"But from then on, I began to doubt Madam, after all, Madam was the only one staying in the mansion at that time."

"It stands to reason that the madam is the least likely to stay, but if it's me, if you can't escape, it may not be a good strategy to choose to do the opposite."

Mrs. Wu was annoyed and furious when she heard this, this fierce tiger is really extraordinary, the other party has her own ideas firmly grasped!
She was still unconvinced, "That's all, how did you know the name of my concubine's daughter?"

"Let's not say it was asked, the young master can still ask Bofu if he is successful!"

Yuan Xi laughed after hearing this, and said hesitantly: "I have a friend who is good at stargazing, and he helped me see it."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu was skeptical. She thought that Yuan Xi's expression was wrong, she must have lied!

Yuan Xi was quite uncomfortable being stared at by her, so he had to deal with it: "Really, I met an expert named Yinhu at the beginning, he was good at stargazing, and occasionally talked about things in the world..."

Mrs. Wu sneered: "Then you talked about Ah Xiang's name?"

"Young master doesn't want to say it, why use this kind of excuse to deceive the concubine."

"This excuse is too clumsy. I would rather believe that the young master knows the art of stargazing. I remember Zhao Ji mentioned this."

She said casually: "Hidden Tiger, Fierce Tiger, I'm afraid this is not alone?"

Yuan Xi's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly changed the subject and said, "It's fine if Ma'am can't do it, does Madam have any plans for the future?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu came back to her senses and said, "Don't you want to use my identity to blackmail Ce'er?"

"Do you feel that such a victory is invincible in your heart?"

Yuan Xi smiled wryly, "It's impossible to say that I never thought about it."

"I'm not a good person. I'm actually a despicable person. I want to try everything I can use."

"The reason why I don't want to use my wife's status to blackmail Sun Bofu is because I feel that this is too cruel to my wife, and it really hurts my conscience."

"If I really exchanged Jiangdong land with my wife, people in the world will say that I must become a despicable person, how can I stand on my feet?"

"But actually the second point is the most important."

"I guess Sun Bofu will not agree."

Mrs. Wu was startled: "Why?"

Yuan Xi said slowly: "If I use Madam to blackmail me, the best way for him to respond is to never admit Madam's identity."

"Only in this way can Madam's reputation be preserved."

"Besides, Sun Bofu is a person who has achieved great things, and he will never ruin the Sun family's foundation for this matter."

"Can he pay a huge price for his wife to go back?"

"Even if I send my wife back directly, how will he face his pregnant mother?"

"Will he take it lightly?"

"Madam, do you want to see what kind of decision Bofu will make?"

"I'm afraid Madam doesn't want to face any choice, right?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu smiled bitterly and said: "It's my authorities who have lost their minds. I thought I could hide my identity and find an opportunity to escape, but I didn't expect to be played by the young master all the time."

"I'm afraid that that night, the envoy also deliberately came to humiliate me, knowing that I dare not speak up?"

After hearing this, Yuan Xi said seriously, "No, that night was indeed an accident."

"Although I'm not a good person, I still have a bottom line in doing things."

"Although I doubted the identity of my wife before, I still had a headache on how to deal with this matter, and I couldn't think of a clue, so I put it aside for the time being."

"Anyway, if Madam doesn't say anything, it's hard for me to expose it. I want to keep Madam in the mansion. If I have a chance in the future, I may not be able to make friends with Sun Bofu and turn hostility into friendship."

"I was indeed drunk that night and my mind was confused, which led to unexpected things happening."

"There is absolutely no falsehood in this matter. If I say something to deceive Madam, I will be struck by lightning."

Yuan Xixin said that the sentence "playing with the palm of the stock" should not be counted, after all, it really only had a literal meaning at that time.

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu couldn't help the corners of her eyes getting wet, and said in a sad voice: "This is the end, what's the use of talking about it?"

"As the wife of the Sun family, if the festival is not guaranteed tonight, if the world finds out, I can die. Wouldn't the Sun family become the laughing stock of the world?"

"And now that I'm pregnant, how can I hide it?"

After hearing this, Yuan Xi said: "This matter is actually very simple. Madam can continue to use the identity of Madam Cai. After giving birth, I can find a way to send Madam back to Jiangdong, and never disclose this matter."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu said in a shy voice, "I don't want this child."

After hearing this, Yuan Xi sighed: "Madam, this is my first child, Madam, can you bear it?"

"If possible, I would like to marry Mrs.

When Madam Wu heard this, her face was full of disbelief, "This idea is too ridiculous!"

Yuan Xili said bluntly, "Why not?"

"Anyway, Madam is using the identity of Madam Cai, and has nothing to do with the Sun family!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu said with helplessness in her tone, "I can't pass this level."

"My concubine is already old, not to mention that even if I give birth to a child, I will go back to Jiangdong. I can't stay by your side!"

Yuan Xi stared into Madam Wu's eyes, Madam Wu felt her face was hot, she couldn't help turning her head to the side, and said angrily, "Don't be rude!"

Yuan Xi made Mrs. Wu's eye circles red, and said: "Whoever says Mrs. is old, that is blind."

He suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Mrs. Wu's bright wrist. Mrs. Wu was in a hurry, she broke free several times but did not break free, and said anxiously: "Let go!"

Yuan Xi did not let go, and asked, "Madam, can you stay?"

Mrs. Wu shook her head and said sadly: "This is impossible."

Yuan Xi let go of his hand and said softly: "I respect Madam's wishes."

"After Madam gave birth to a child, whether to go or stay, depends solely on Madam's will, and I will never force Madam."

"But now that things are over, why not spend this year happily?"

"I can guarantee that the identity of the wife will never be revealed."
