Chapter 445: Father-Daughter Dialogue and Jiang Boyou's Warning

After saying this, Cao Cheng got up and left. Not long after, he went to Jiang Boyou's study. When Jiang Boyou saw him, he felt a little surprised, wondering how he found this place.

But he didn't show it, instead he smiled and said, "My dear son-in-law, are you done?"

"Father-in-law, actually, the reason why I wanted to talk to Xue Ning was only partly because of my wife. Another reason was that Xue Ning and Xie Wei were too close." Cao Cheng said
"My dear son-in-law, Master Xie is Xue Ning's teacher, so it's inevitable that they will get close." Jiang Boyou said

"Father-in-law, of course I know all this. If that were all, I wouldn't have come to you. To tell you the truth, they are so close that they have already exceeded a certain limit." Cao Cheng said
"Hmm? My dear son-in-law, what do you mean by that? You can't just talk nonsense about this kind of thing." Jiang Boyou said

"Father-in-law, how could I lie about such a big thing? This is what Xue Ning told me just now. Her words can't be false, right?" Cao Cheng said directly
"What? She said it herself? This, this, this, this is outrageous!" Jiang Boyou was shocked

"Father-in-law, I am an outsider after all, so I can't say too much. If your Majesty is in good health, then Xie Ju'an would naturally be a good match."

"Although it may sound bad if it gets out, it still has a bright future. But now, you know the state of His Majesty. What if there is news one day?"

"Then the first person to die will be Xie Ju'an. Then Xue Ning will also be unlucky. Even if she can save her life, she will probably be a widow." Cao Cheng said
Jiang Boyou couldn't sit still after hearing this, but Cao Cheng was still here, so he couldn't show too much anxiety, so he said, "Thank you for your concern, I will persuade her."

"Okay, then, father-in-law, we will go back first. Goodbye." Cao Cheng said
At this time, Jiang Xuehui was still talking to her mother. Although it was a conversation between mother and daughter, in fact, one was talking and the other was listening. Most of the time, Mrs. Jiang was talking and Jiang Xuehui was listening.

"Madam, Miss, the master sent someone to tell us that our son-in-law is coming back." The maid outside said
"You're leaving so soon? Really, why can't you stay a little longer?" Mrs. Jiang said

"Okay, mother, since my husband said he wants to leave, then there must be something wrong. Okay, mother, I will go back first. I will come back when I have the chance." Jiang Xuehui said

Mrs. Jiang could only nod her head after hearing this, but she knew very well that her daughter was just a concubine and did not have such freedom.

Whether she would come back or not depended on the Marquis's mood. She felt very distressed, but she couldn't show it on her face, so she sent her daughter out of the room. Soon they were reunited.

"Mother-in-law, something has suddenly happened in the mansion. I will take Hui'er back first. I will bring her here another day." Cao Cheng said to Madam Jiang with a smile.
After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang naturally couldn't say anything, so she just smiled and responded. Finally, she sent the couple to the carriage. After the carriage drove away, Mrs. Jiang said, "Why don't you keep them for a while? Is it easy for them to come back? You are so stupid!"

"Okay, okay, didn't you hear what your son-in-law said? Something happened suddenly in the mansion. Can I force you to stay? Don't worry, my son-in-law and I have agreed that they will come back when they have time." Jiang Boyou said

"There is time, there is time. Do you think it is that easy? When will you come back next time? Really, I don't want to bother with you. Just sleep in the study tonight!" Mrs. Jiang said and went back to her room.

After hearing this, Jiang Boyou could only smile helplessly. After his wife left, his expression changed and he went straight into the study, then asked someone to call his daughter over.

When Jiang Xuening learned that her father was calling her, she knew that things were not going well, but she had to jump into the hole she had dug with her eyes closed.

So she had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk to the door of the study, then knocked on it. With a "come in", Jiang Xuening slowly pushed the door open and walked into the study.

"Here you are. Do you know why your father asked you to come?" Jiang Boyou asked directly
"Well, I know, I know. Father, please listen to my explanation. Things are not as my brother-in-law said. I am actually not like that. I just, oh, I don't know how to say it." Jiang Xuening said hurriedly.

"Okay, don't be anxious. I'm not asking you this. What I want to ask you is, what did Cao Cheng say to you when he came here today? He actually came here for you, right?" Jiang Boyou said

"Father, this, actually you can say that, but, it's not that exaggerated, right?" Jiang Xue Ning couldn't continue talking at the end.

"Okay, okay, seeing that you are so hesitant, I won't ask what he wants to talk to you about. I just want to ask one thing, is the matter about Xie Wei true or false?" Jiang Boyou said

"Father, why are you asking this again? Didn't you just say you wouldn't ask? Well, then I'll tell you straight away. Xie Wei and I have nothing to do with each other. I was lying just now." Jiang Xue Ning said

"Okay, since you said so, then I will believe you. Okay, you can go back. But since you lied to your brother-in-law, don't go to see Xie Wei recently."

"Otherwise, he will think that I, as a father, am deliberately indulging you and Xie Wei. In that case, will I still be able to keep my reputation?" Jiang Boyou said directly.

After hearing this, Jiang Xue Ning suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. After all, she had just received important news. What if she couldn't see Xie Wei now?

"What? Don't you want to? Are you lying? Xue Ning, you don't really have any entanglement with Xie Wei, do you? Hmm?" Jiang Boyou asked

"No, father, what were you thinking about? Nothing happened. I was just thinking about Yan Lin. Yes, I was thinking about Yan Lin, so I was a little distracted. I don't want to see you, sir." Jiang Xue Ning said

"Well, as long as it's not Xie Wei, even if it's that brat Yan Lin, I'll accept him as my father. Girl, all of Xie Wei's wealth and life depend on your majesty alone."

"His life is tied to your majesty's. Your majesty's body has been in poor condition for many years. It's hard to say when he will die. When that time comes, he will definitely die!" Jiang Boyou persuaded

"Well, I understand, father. My husband and I really don't have any romantic feelings for each other." Jiang Xuening said seriously.

"Okay, since there really isn't anything wrong, then I'm relieved. You must be tired today, go back and have a rest. It's better to rest at home these two days, so don't go out again." Jiang Boyou said

After hearing this, Jiang Xuening was about to object, but she suppressed herself. She knew very well that her father did not believe what she said.

If she objected at this time, then what she said just now would be in vain, so she could only bow and leave the study.

Jiang Boyou was still a little worried when he saw his daughter leaving. After all, he knew very well how attractive Xie Wei was to women, so he decided to meet Xie Wei tomorrow. At this time, Jiang Xuening didn't know what her father was going to do tomorrow. She was busy thinking about how to meet her husband and tell him the news.

At the same time, Xue Shu, who had finally left the Duke's Mansion and got on the carriage of Prince Hui's Mansion, couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart as she got into the carriage.

After all, she is not a fool. The information she got from her mother has clearly shown one thing, that is, this matter is very likely to be true.

And it was precisely because of this speculation that she was always unwilling to believe it. After all, she was clearly looking forward to sitting on the position of queen and commanding the harem in the future.

Now she was told that she had become an outcast of the family and that she and her husband might become a pair of desperate lovers. This was something she could never accept.

So after returning to the palace, she told her husband everything she knew.

"What did you say? Did your father really meet your eldest brother and the people from Xingwuwei? Doesn't that mean that he might really want to kill me?" Shen Jie said with a grim expression.

"Yes, husband, it is very likely true, but there is hope, so you don't have to be too pessimistic." Xue Shu advised.

"It's easy for you to say, but what else can we do now? Madam, dear madam, we are finished, do you understand? It's all over!" Shen Jie said with a frustrated look on his face.

"Cheer up, listen carefully. If I say there is a way, then there is a way. Listen carefully, our only way out is my eldest brother."

"I don't care what method you use, you must make my brother clear up his misunderstanding. You must make him believe that you won't hate him because of Jiang Xuehui!" Xue Shu said seriously.

"What? Madam, this is impossible. This is absolutely impossible!" Shen Jie said directly.
"Why is it impossible? Tell me why it is impossible? Is that woman more important than your life? If so, then we will just wait for death!" Xue Shu asked
"No, no, ma'am, you misunderstood. What I meant is that even if I told your eldest brother, he wouldn't believe it. After all, I've done that before."

"Madam, think about it. If I were him, I wouldn't believe it either." Shen Jie said
"What should we do? I believe you have a solution. If you can solve this problem, we can survive. If you can't solve this problem, then we will die."

"Are you going to find a way to solve it? Or are you just going to wait for death?" Xue Shu asked
"Madam, it's not that I don't think of a solution, it's just that I can't think of one." Shen Jie said
"You, just be direct. Go directly to my eldest brother and ask him for help. I don't care whether you are sincere or not. As long as he believes you, I will ask him to help me."

"As long as he is willing to come forward, my father will definitely not do it again. Then we will be safe. This is our only way to survive. Do you understand?" Xue Shu said
"Okay, I understand, ma'am. Don't worry, ma'am. I will go to Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion tomorrow. I will make your elder brother believe it." Shen Jie said with a firm face.

After hearing this, Xue Shu knew that Shen Jie might not succeed, but she could only choose to believe him. After all, they had no other choice now.

Time soon came to the next day. Jiang Boyou went out early in the morning. After the court was dismissed, he stopped Xie Wei who was about to leave and said, "Master Xie, do you have time? Let's chat?"

Xie Wei was a little surprised after hearing this. Why would Jiang Boyou come to see him? However, although it was strange, he would not refuse.

So the two of them returned to Xie Wei's residence, talking and laughing, and then went straight into the study.

"Master Xie, there are some things I shouldn't have said, but as a father, I have to say them. I hope you can understand."

"My useless daughter is lucky enough to have the opportunity to receive your guidance. But she should never have any other thoughts."

"All these mistakes are my daughter's fault. I hope Master Xie will not blame me." Jiang Boyou said

"Minister Jiang, what do you mean by this? Why can't I understand?" Xie Wei said
"Master Xie, since you don't understand, that's all the better. From now on, please stop wasting your time on my useless daughter."

"She is just a piece of rotten wood, not worthy of being taught by such a good teacher like you." Jiang Boyou said with a smile

"Minister Jiang, although I don't know what I mean by asking you this, I know that you must have misunderstood something. I can only say that some things are better left to nature. What do you think?" Xie Wei said
"Xie Wei, I am trying to persuade you in a good way, why are you pretending to be confused? My Xue Ning is still young, but you are not young anymore. You are also a scholar, so don't you know the moral principles?"

"You are my daughter's mentor, I should treat you with courtesy, but Master Xie, you are really not a good teacher. No, you are not worthy of being a teacher!" Jiang Boyou said angrily

"Minister Jiang, some things are not what you think. No, sometimes, it is indeed what you think. In short, I still say that, let nature take its course." Xie Wei said directly
"You, you are so bad, Xie Wei. I can't argue with you. I won't talk to you anymore. Anyway, I will not let my daughter meet Master Xie again in the future. Humph! Goodbye!" After Jiang Boyou finished speaking, he got up and left.

Seeing this, Xie Wei naturally stood up to see him off. After seeing Jiang Boyou off, Xie Wei returned to his study with a smile on his face. He finally knew what Jiang Boyou came for.

He was in a very strange mood at this moment. He should be very angry, but instead he felt a little happy. He had never noticed it before, but Ning Er would actually, actually do this?

When he thought of this, he couldn't stop smiling.

At the same time, Shen Jie was not so lucky. At this moment, he was sitting in Cao Cheng's study, looking at Cao Cheng opposite him.

"Your Majesty, did you come here today just to talk to me about this? If so, please go back."

"Your Majesty, there are some things that are beyond my control. If you were me, would you believe what you said?" Cao Cheng said without comment.

After hearing this, Shen Jie did not speak for a while because he did not know what to say.
