Wanfu, the Reborn Empress

Chapter 720
Looking at his mother with crazy and persistent eyes, Yao Jiting slowly saw his hand withdraw: "Mother, what are you going to use me for? You dragged me here today just to find me a baby at the old lady's birthday banquet." Is it a family affair? You didn't listen to my words at all, and you didn't care what I wanted at all, just care about yourself, didn't you? "

The loving look on Zhu's face immediately faded, and he looked at Yao Jiting with a serious face: "Ting'er, you have grown up, you are the eldest son of the Hou family, your decisions and actions represent the Hou family, represent The dignity of our family, not to mention your marriage, even your future life, cannot be decided by your own willfulness."

Looking at his son with a pale face, Zhu realized that his words were a bit harsh, so he slowed down his tone and said, "Ting'er, my mother knows that I have wronged you by doing this, but there is no other way for my mother, right?" ?If it were in the past, no matter what status you wanted to marry, your mother would not stand up against it; but it is different now, that bitch seduced your father, and our Qingpinghou Mansion has become a joke all over the capital. During this period of being a mother, I didn’t even have the courage to go out. Now, all the people who know us and those who don’t know us are laughing at us and mocking us behind our backs, making us the talk of peddlers. It's a great shame. Ting'er, you are the future successor of the Qingpinghou Mansion. Your father and that bitch caused a big disaster, and you need to mend their holes; because only in this way can we keep Qingpinghou in the midst of gossip. government."

Yao Jiting said angrily: "Mother, the matter is not as serious as you imagined. The Qingping Hou Mansion is just suffering a little bit now. We don't really need to take those rumors to heart, anyway, they will be forgotten by people after a while. , isn't it?"

"Ting'er, how can you be so naive." Zhu yelled angrily in a low voice: "Others don't know the situation of our mansion, don't you know it yourself? Over the years, watching other families and clans in the capital spring up like mushrooms after rain Your Majesty deserves a lot of favor in front of the emperor, but what about our mansion? Besides the status of a marquis, what else is there? If you want power, you don’t have power, if you want money, you don’t have money, and if you want people, you don’t have people. Do you know that the current Qingpinghou’s mansion is You are living on your laurels, relying on the shadow of your ancestors to barely gain a foothold in the wealthy circle of the capital. At such a precarious time, your father's unrepentant old pervert actually committed such a scandal. Going to a dead end. Do you think that the palace will not know about these gossips in the capital? Do you know why the emperor didn’t issue a decree to reprimand your father at this time? That’s because the battle in Jiuyang City made the emperor worry. There is no way for him to be distracted from such dirty and scandalous affairs at this time; but, once the war in Jiuyang City is settled down, and the emperor finds time, do you think the emperor will easily let our family go? We are Marquis Family, this title is bestowed by the emperor, your father is undoubtedly slapping the face of the emperor by committing such a scandal, do you think our family can escape unscathed?"

The more Mrs. Zhu talked, the more difficult it was for her to calm down her distressed mood. She covered her heart and looked at her only son with sad eyes: "Ting'er, you don't want the position of the eldest son in your hands to be like this." Have you been deprived? You don’t want to change from a noble son in a wealthy nest to a commoner. Ting’er, do you think your mother is willing to force you to do things you don’t like? Your mother is gone too. Fazi, this is forcing you! Now the Qingpinghou Mansion is in danger of protecting itself, and your father seems to have been taken out of his soul by that bitch, and he doesn't care about our life or death; under such circumstances, we can only do it ourselves Save yourself. In fact, I have already thought about it for my mother. By celebrating the old lady’s birthday today, let’s secretly see a good marriage. In this way, when you get married in the future, with the help of your wife’s Yue’s family, maybe It can also save the Qingpinghou Mansion."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Zhu grabbed Yao Jiting's sleeve excitedly, looked at him with bright eyes, and even raised her tone: "Just now, I opened the curtain of the car for my mother and saw a girl. She has a fairy face, and she must be very suitable when standing with you; more importantly, do you know who she is? She is actually the daughter of the eldest son of the Gu family. You know what Niang Duo said. This girl grew up living in the golden nest. Although the old grand master Gu has retired from illness, over the years, the old grand master has cultivated quite a few disciples, and among them are some Many people occupy important positions; her father and elder brother are also not to be underestimated. In short, this girl meets our needs in all aspects, and she is simply sent by God to help us. Ting'er, just listen to what mother said, For your own sake, as well as for the entire Qingpinghou Mansion, you must find a way to take down the third girl of the Gu Mansion, and you must coax her, understand?"

Yao Jiting sat limply in the carriage as if he had lost his soul, he was in a daze, and after a long time, he said to Zhu Shi: "Mother, you want me to do it for myself, for you, and for the Qingping Houfu. I went to strike up a conversation with the girl in Gu's mansion, but I want to ask you, what should I do about Shan'er? The one my son likes is her!"

Hearing his son mention that disgusting person's name again, Zhu almost lost his temper again, but when he saw Yao Jiting's distraught and distressed look, he held back again: "Silly boy, the second girl of the Sun family is just a concubine!" Status, not to mention how can the Sun Mansion compare to the Gu Mansion? Tinger, I know that doing this is wronging you, but you have to know that if you lose your status as the son of the Marquis Mansion, you will have nothing; But if you can win the hearts of the three girls of the Gu family and let the Gu family become our family's support, what kind of beauties do you want in the future and you can't get them? Silly boy, don't be so stubborn at this time, let alone spoil your children's affair It's a big deal."

Yao Jiting raised his head and looked at his mother, as if he recognized the person in front of him for the first time.

In his impression, his mother has always been a weak and long-winded image and impression, but he didn't know until now that his mother has such a side; it is really chilling to make people shudder.

Seeing her son staring at her all the time, Mrs. Zhu felt her scalp tingle from the stare, so she quickly stretched out her hand to help Jin Buyao, who was resting on her temples, and called Yao Jiting softly: "Ting'er..."
