Chapter 216 Shao Wanyun's Marriage
Kyoto, Shaofu.
Late at night, Shao Wanyun didn't sleep well. It could be said that she didn't sleep much all night. She always asked people to keep an eye on her father to see if he had returned home. As soon as the sun rose at dawn, the servants hurriedly came to report to his father.
After returning from prison, Shao Wanyun couldn't wait to get dressed and go.
When she arrived at her father's bedroom, Shao Wanyun saw her father's haggard appearance, but not seeing him for a day made him a little more embarrassed.
"Father, are you okay?" Shao Wanyun asked worriedly.
Shao Jiang smiled soothingly: "I haven't been home all day and all night. I must have worried you, right?"
Shao Wanyun nodded: "My daughter is worried to death. When she heard that her father was imprisoned, her eyes were so frightened that her eyes were black."
Shao Jiang was relieved for a while, patted Shao Wanyun's shoulder and said, "Fortunately, everything was a near miss. My father is safe now."
Shao Wanyun was frightened for a while. Although the danger was now over, the shock from last night still lingered: "Father, what happened?"
Shaojiang rarely talked about the affairs of the court to Shao Wanyun. Even at this time, Shaojiang still did not mention a word and replied perfunctorily: "The situation in the court is unpredictable, you don't need to worry."
These words made Shao Wanyun even more anxious: "My father almost died, so why isn't my daughter worried? Father, your Majesty is cowardly by nature and is not the material to be an emperor at all. Why are you still working for him?"
These words also made Shaojiang's expression stern for a moment: "Don't speak without restraint. Your Majesty is the emperor, how can you be so frivolous?"
Shao Wanyun pursed her lips in displeasure: "My daughter is just telling the truth. Your Majesty clearly knows how loyal my father is. Is he the rebellious minister and traitor that those ministers said? Your Majesty not only failed to protect my father, but instead put him in jail. This is so
He is so cowardly that he is not worthy of his father working for him."
Shaojiang looked at Shao Wanyun's angry look, and he just sighed helplessly: "Your Majesty will not kill me. Putting me in jail is just a temporary measure. Impeachment by hundreds of officials will also be embarrassing for him. Your Majesty has already
I thought about how to save my father from escape, but the regent entered the palace a few days ago, so His Majesty naturally released my father. Wan Yun, is he the son of the regent that you persuaded?"
Mentioning the man who made Shao Wanyun heartbroken, Shao Wanyun's heart tightened, her face showed a bit of indifference, and she nodded: "My daughter can't just watch her father suffer. It's really helpless, so I had to take this step."
When Shaojiang heard the "last strategy" from Shao Wanyun, he roughly guessed something. He was thinking about it for a moment, but he didn't say anything. He just replied lightly: "Huo Yuchu has already figured it out."
Father has told you that he wants to marry you, but I wonder what your thoughts are?"
Shao Wanyun bit her lip with difficulty, as if she had something unspeakable. After thinking about it, she said with difficulty: "Father, I...I am willing."
Shao Jiang frowned and nodded: "Father, it is also for your own good. You are my only daughter, and your marriage is the top priority of the Shao family."
Shao Wanyun wanted to smile to reassure her father, but her smile turned out to be bitter. Anyone who saw it knew that Shao Wanyun was unwilling: "Everything will be arranged by father."
Seeing Shao Wanyun like this, Shaojiang breathed a deep sigh of relief: "Wanyun, the regent has a distinguished status. If you marry him, you will live a rich life."
Shao Wanyun nodded obediently: "My daughter's marriage is subject to her father's decision."
Shao Jiang was very pleased. Every parent likes their children to be well-behaved and obedient. He directly followed the trend and said: "You have reached the age to get married. My father has decided on this matter in the past few days."
These words made Shao Wanyun slightly surprised: "Why is father so anxious?"
Shao Jiang's eyes were a little cloudy: "Your eldest brother left without saying goodbye, and I don't know where he is now. Your third brother is also going to take the exam this year and get married."
Shao Wanyun asked tentatively: "Is the father worried about his daughter?"
Shao Jiang nodded: "That's it. I also want to arrange a place for you. My father is old and I can care less about life and death, but I can't let my children suffer. I've put you all in place. Father
Even if I die, I can feel at ease."
Shao Wanyun felt uncomfortable after hearing this. She was very worried for a moment: "Father, you can't say such things. Our Shao family cannot live without you!"
Shao Jiang smiled slightly and patted Shao Wanyun on the shoulder: "Don't worry, father has his own sense of proportion. It's getting late, so please step aside first."
Shao Wanyun nodded slightly, then turned around and went out. He asked the small kitchen to prepare porridge and side dishes for his father to bring over, and then he went on his way.
After returning to the bedroom, Shao Wanyun sat alone on the couch, her eye circles suddenly turned red, and she secretly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
What she was thinking about most at the moment was Dieyi, the man she had always missed.
The maid opened the door and walked in. She saw Shao Wanyun crying and asked quickly: "Miss, why are you crying?"
Shao Wanyun shook his head and refused to explain. The maid said suspiciously: "The master has returned home safely now, so you don't have to worry."
Although this was a happy event, it cost Jiang Zuiyao a lifetime of happiness.
She sat there. She didn't want to say it, but she said it anyway: "I'm going to marry Huo Yuchu."
The maid was startled: "Miss, this is a big deal, you can't be confused."
"Father has agreed." Shao Wanyun replied in a cool voice. It was also such a plain statement, which completely shocked the maid. She also knew that since Shao Jiang nodded, the marriage was an inseparable matter.
Ten.
The maid has served Shao Wanyun for so many years and knows something about her thoughts, so she hurriedly said: "But the young lady has no feelings for Huo Yuchu. Isn't this wronging the young lady?"
Shao Wanyun smiled coldly: "Besides Dieyi, marrying anyone else would be a grievance for me."
"Miss, why don't you tell me your feelings? If I dote on you like that, I may not agree."
"Stop being naive. I used to be so naive. Now it seems like a joke." Shao Wanyun laughed at himself and continued: "With a status like Dieyi, how could my father agree? It would have been OK in the past.
I made a big fuss in a willful way, but now I’m afraid I can’t say anything about it.”
"Why?"
"The regent was able to come forward to rescue my father because of Huo Yuchu."
"Miss, you can't be confused! If you get married, there will be no turning back."
"Do I still have a choice? That's all, this is fine, it's good for everyone."
"But I feel wronged, Miss."
"Wronged? Haha, in the eyes of others, it is my blessing to be able to marry into the regent's palace. How can I be wronged? That's all, don't think about it anymore, this is fine, it's good for everyone."
Shao Wanyun repeated these words, her face full of disappointment.
