Chapter 280
Imperial Prefecture.
"What's the matter with the rumors outside? Why are they saying that the Princess Shao'an who is betrothed to Jiang Wei is A Lan?"
Xie Zhiyao, the head of the Xie family, frowned and looked at everyone in the Xie family.
“Not too many people are spreading it, right?”
"It's just a few old families who have some knowledge of our Imperial Master's Mansion. They knew that Alan's nickname was Shaoan, so they began to speculate."
"But they are just guessing."
"Sister, you don't have to worry. Anyone with a bit of common sense wouldn't think that the damn emperor would bring together the thorn in the flesh of our Imperial Master's Mansion and the thorn in the eye of Marquis Jiang'an's wife."
"If that were the case, wouldn't the dog emperor be unable to sleep all night long?"
Xie Tian sneered with disdain: "At the beginning, Jinghong just felt that she got along well with Concubine Jiang. They occasionally visited each other and talked and joked with each other, but he couldn't tolerate it. He was so cruel that he even spared his own children. Now, how could he match Alan with Concubine Jiang's brother?"
"Besides, who does he think he is?"
"But a mere emperor on earth dares to arrange a marriage for the gods. I think he thinks his fate is too long!"
Everyone in the Xie family agreed with Xie Tian’s words and couldn’t stop nodding.
"That being said, the current situation of the Duke's Mansion..."
Xie Zhiyao sighed.
"It has been nearly ten years since the Duke's Mansion has seen a bloodline that can receive the blessing of the gods."
"If this continues, I'm afraid the Duke's Mansion will fall without Zhao Tan having to plot anything."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Xie family couldn't help but look a little grim.
Yes, it's been nearly ten years.
Their Xie family had few descendants to begin with, and now, they had not yet found a direct bloodline that could be blessed by the gods.
"How's Aunt Yutong doing?"
Someone suddenly asked, "Didn't someone report back earlier that they had sensed signs of King Gu waking up?"
Xie Zhiyao shook his head: "More than a decade ago, there were rumors that Wang Gu had awakened. Even that time, everyone in our Xie family felt the signs that Wang Gu was about to awaken."
"But in the end, the forbidden land was deserted. Our people searched the entire forbidden land for many years, but did not find any trace of Wang Gu."
“Right now, the situation is not very clear either.”
"Although Aunt Yutong had sensed the traces of Wang Gu awakening more than a decade ago, now, more than a decade has passed, and the traces of Wang Gu awakening back then are like a flash in the pan, and have never reappeared."
Elder Xie frowned and said in a deep voice: "I have always believed that the reason why Wang Gu has not awakened yet is because the sacrifice was not chosen well enough!"
He said with a straight face: "Since the establishment of the Imperial Master's Mansion, no sacrifice has ever come out alive!"
"But the sacrifice we sent last time not only survived, but also caused a lot of trouble."
"Perhaps this is why the sacrifice was unsuccessful. Not only did it fail to awaken King Gu, but it also angered King Gu!"
He snorted coldly: "If you ask me, you women shouldn't be in charge of the family!"
"Too soft-hearted, too soft-hearted!"
"If the sacrifice had been slaughtered cleanly at the beginning, how could there be so many messes?"
Xie Zhiyao was slightly angry and waited for the Xie family elders: "Uncle San, what you said is too confusing!"
"Using a fresh and blessed life to send to the forbidden land to summon the King Gu, this has been the rule of the National Master's Mansion since its establishment for hundreds of years!"
She stared at Uncle Xie: "Uncle Xie, are you trying to go against the ancestral etiquette?"
"Don't put the blame on me!"
Uncle Xie's face turned ugly: "I'm just telling the truth."
"You want to tell me about ancestral etiquette, then I have to ask you carefully, does ancestral etiquette allow you to release the sacrificial offerings from the forbidden area, and let someone escape and ruin the entire sacrificial ceremony?"
He snorted coldly: "I think it's you and Xie Yutong who don't know the importance of things. You dare to neglect and be cunning even for important matters such as sacrifices. You are selfish and self-centered. You don't know the importance of things and put your personal feelings before the important matters concerning the whole clan!"
"You are not worthy of being the master of our Xie family!"
Facing Uncle Xie's accusation, Xie Zhiyao smiled calmly: "Then according to Uncle San, who is more suitable to be the master of my Xie family?"
Of course it is me!
Uncle Xie was roaring in his heart, but his face showed no big expression. He looked very serious, as if to say: You know what's going on.
Xie Zhiyao chuckled and directly helped to reveal the other person's thoughts: "Could it be you, Uncle Xie?"
of course!
I deserve it!
Third Uncle Xie straightened his back and raised his chin high, as if he was waiting for someone, with snot and tears, to come to him three times and beg him to take over the position of the head of the Xie family.
"After all, your real purpose is to seize the position of the head of the Xie family, right, Third Uncle?"
Uncle Xie looked unhappy and was about to spit.
Xie Zhiyao chuckled twice: "What a pity, I think I will disappoint you."
"Not long ago, Aunt Yutong actually brought some good news."
Some people couldn't help but ask anxiously: "What's the good news?"
"Although Wang Gu's whereabouts are very difficult to track, she deduced a few days ago that someone from our Imperial Master's Mansion had met Wang Gu."
"It won't be long before Wang Gu returns to the capital!"
Hearing this, everyone in the Xie family was excited: "What? Wang Gu is coming to the capital!"
"Great!"
"The future of our Xie family is saved!"
Only Uncle Xie had a gloomy face and gnashed his teeth in hatred.
How can it be?
How could Wang Gu wake up?
He obviously...
The third uncle pursed his lips tightly and looked much more alert, fearing that he would accidentally reveal his emotions.
snort!
So what if I wake up?
If he can kill once, he can definitely kill again!
Go back, go back to Beijing quickly!
Once we arrived in the capital, we were in his territory.
Uncle Xie narrowed his eyes slightly, wondering whether he should find an opportunity to go to the palace again.
It's time to give the guy in the palace a good lesson.
Do you want to get rid of him after he has done his job?
He will let people know who he cannot afford to offend!
-
Jiang'an County, Taotie Tower.
"Yo!"
As soon as Wanniang saw Wang Shang, her eyes lit up, like a hungry wolf seeing meat.
"What wind brought our prince here?"
Wang Shang used to be the boss behind the painting boat.
A handsome and elegant young man, suave and romantic.
Wan Niang walked up to the man like a weak willow swaying in the wind, and fell on him as if she had no bones.
It's exactly the same style as when he was on the painted boat.
Wang Shang had an indifferent expression, and seemed to be able to remain calm.
"do not do that."
He said with a stern face: "We are in public, please be careful of the impact." "You are already from a good family." He spoke earnestly, pretending to be a good person.
Stepmother snorted in a tone that was partly annoyance and partly coquettishness: "You are still as boring as ever."
"What a waste of such a beautiful face."
She looked at Wang Shang from head to toe with an unbridled gaze, and even went so far as to touch his chest.
"And such a good figure."
She couldn't tell whether she was envious or jealous: "I don't know which girl will get the chance in the future."
"I have no plans to get married yet."
Wang Shang seemed to be amused by her innocent look, and lightly lifted her chin with his finger: "Otherwise I would definitely choose you like this first."
Wanniang was stunned, obviously she had not expected that the man who had always remained calm in the face of temptation would suddenly become so bold and frivolous.
As if he is a veteran in the love field.
I'm used to walking among a sea of flowers without getting a single leaf on me.
The self-cultivation makes people give rise to a kind of extravagant hope for no reason.
But I also know that being with this kind of person will lead to nothing.
Wanniang smiled hesitantly, and at the moment her heart was moved, she restrained herself and put her thoughts aside.
"Prince Wang really knows how to joke."
"I……"
She inadvertently mocked herself: "You are already quite old, a middle-aged woman, and you come from such a family. You... are really good at joking."
Wanniang admitted that she really wanted to sleep with Wang Shang in her heart.
I covet his good figure and good looks.
I even covet his innocence and tenderness.
She always thought positively in her heart, and felt that a man like Wang Shang must be different from those men who only had romantic relationships with her, made promises to her, but turned against her when the time came.
But she is not without self-awareness.
I feel like I really have a future with Wang Shang.
It just so happened that Wang Shang seemed to have taken the wrong medicine today.
I tried my best to say those inappropriate things to her.
"You are a middle-aged woman, and I am not young either."
"If we really talk about age, I'm afraid I'm a little older than you."
"Half of your body is about to be buried in the ground. If you don't mind my age and my dislike of bathing, how can I pick on you?"
Wang Shang looked serious and didn't seem to be joking at all.
Wanniang was stunned for a long time, unsure whether this man was making fun of her or not. It was obvious that before this, he had always kept his distance from her and did not seem to have any feelings for her at all.
It's like a stinky stone that can't be warmed up.
Why is he acting so out of character today... Just like the stinky stones in the toilet were suddenly warmed up and cleaned.
She curled her lips slightly reluctantly: "Young Master Wang, please go to the private room upstairs and sit down. It's really not proper for the two of us to block the door and talk."
"It also seems that I am ignorant of etiquette and have not entertained you well enough."
Wanniang did not directly respond to Wang Shang's words which seemed to be a confession of love. Instead, she smiled and changed the subject. She made a gesture of invitation, welcomed the guest to the second floor, and served him tea personally.
Wang Shang smiled.
As if he didn't notice the person's avoidance, he still looked aloof and arrogant: "Okay."
Wanniang sat opposite the man and made tea for him.
Wang Shang took a sip.
The tone was frivolous: "The tea is delicious and the person is beautiful."
Wan Niang's hand paused as she was pouring tea, and she was visibly stunned.
"You are really..."
What medicine did you take today? You keep talking strangely.
She suddenly thought of something, and her red face gradually turned cold. Her voice was serious and cold: "Tell me, what do you want to ask me today?"
Wanniang snorted softly, as if she was mocking herself, or as if she was saying that all men in the world are the same.
No good stuff!
"Are you trying to find out about Zhao Yuanshan again?"
She said impatiently, "I've told you many times, if I had known that bastard was Zhao Yuanshan, I would never have spent so much money to redeem him as my concubine."
"That dentist hired by that dog daddy is unreliable. When he introduced me to the police, he just said that I had some quarrels and said a few nonsense words. It's not a big deal. I will be released after being locked up for a month or so."
"What's more, they say that opportunities are rare and will never come back. As for that bastard Zhao Yuanshan, it's all about the father of that bastard Zhao Hai. They haven't leaked a single word about it."
"I almost let them cross the sea!"
"I was deeply hurt by those lying men at that time, so I thought of marrying him as my second-in-law...but it cost me a lot of money!"
When Wanniang mentioned Zhao Yuanshan, she was still full of dissatisfaction and resentment. She wished she could pull him out of the coffin and smash his bones again to vent her anger.
Wang Shang snorted and interrupted: "In your mind, I am the kind of person who will not do anything unless it is beneficial to me."
"I can't just come here to visit my friends."
"I want to talk to you, talk about my worries, drink tea, eat some snacks, and only talk about love and romance, not about unpleasant things."
"Does it really have to be like this? Do I have to ask you something or inquire about someone?"
He seemed angry, with displeasure in his eyes.
Wanniang looked at him silently.
It was true that she liked Wang Shang, and her desire was even stronger when she looked at him.
But to say that this man had no ulterior motives at all, and was simply warmed by her erotic and bold declaration of love, and was now deeply in love with her...even if she drank two more pounds of Shaodaozi before going to bed tonight, she could not convince herself to have such a wild dream.
She didn't say anything, but her expression showed: Do you think I will believe your lies?
Wang Shang snorted lightly, seeming to be slightly angry.
"It seems that if I don't ask anything today, I will be wronged by you for nothing!"
His tone sounded like he was angry and was deliberately making things difficult for others.
But Wanniang breathed a sigh of relief.
One pair: See, I knew this man had bad intentions.
He must want to find out something from her again, so he even used the beauty trap.
"Tell me, what do you want to ask?"
She acted like, "I'm not surprised at all. It's normal that you want to know something from me."
Wang Shang seemed to be angry.
He said "okay, okay" several times, with a tone of gnashing teeth.
"In that case, why don't you tell me how many times has Jiang Anning visited Zhao Yuanshan?"
He walked around to Wanniang's side and said, "You know what I want to hear."
"I don't know."
Wanniang pushed the person away: "Get out of here!"
