Chapter 301 Open relationship
Zhao Liya's father and daughter arrived, and Zhou Hansheng saw it at a glance. His eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but rode his horse to meet him.
"Father-in-law! Xiaoya!"
His daughter-in-law looks really good-looking today, and Zhou Hansheng couldn't move his eyes when he glanced at her.
The surprise in his eyes was too obvious and hot, even Zhao Liya, who was always generous, couldn't help but blushed a little, and gave him a sneaky glance.
Zhou Hansheng chuckled, his wife looked so good-looking at him, full of heroic spirit and heroic demeanor, in short, no one can compare to him!
Zhou Hansheng was delighted, he got off his horse with a smile on his face, and bowed down to salute Zhao Xiang.
Zhao Xiang nodded, glanced at Zhao Liya and said with a smile: "The old man gave Aya to you today, be careful when entering the hunting ground, you have to protect her well."
"Father-in-law, don't worry, with Xiao Xu here, Xiao Ya must be safe!"
"Um!"
Zhao Xiang nodded in satisfaction, chatted with him a few words, told Zhao Liya something, and then left.
Of course he will not enter the hunting grounds, he needs to accompany him today.
Everyone knows that when Zhao Xiang's family was exiled in Lingnan, the old lady of the Duke of Li's mansion sent someone to break off the engagement with the Zhao family.
Although this matter was kept a low profile, the reason why they withdrew from the Zhao family was to disassociate themselves from the Zhao family so as not to be implicated, so naturally it was impossible to completely hide it from everyone. That would make no sense.
Therefore, the two families broke off their engagement, and everyone in the capital should know about it.
The Zhao family was exiled, and the two families are no longer well-matched. The dissolution of the engagement is only natural, and no one will think that something is wrong.
Even if some people despise the government's actions, they won't say anything.
Unexpectedly, a few years later, Zhao Xiang and the others came back again!
When the Zhao family came back, in fact, many of them were secretly hiding in the dark and waiting to watch the excitement, to see how the Liguo Mansion and the Zhao family ended up.
Unexpectedly, Duke Li ordered his son to help the Zhao family clean up the house. Everyone took this as the sincerity of the Duke Li's apology.
After all, the relationship between Li Guogong and Zhao Xiang has always been good. The old lady of Li Guogong's mansion was the one who decided to retire. At that time, Li Guogong didn't know anything about his work in other places, so now he takes the initiative to repair the relationship. , Zhao Xiang didn't refuse, that's normal.
If you are an official in the same dynasty, harmony is the most important thing, how can you fight and kill Yucheng to die all day long?
However, no one thinks the two will renew their engagement.
No one thinks that the relationship between the two will return to the original.
Zhao Xiang has always loved his daughter very much. How could he agree to marry his daughter after such humiliation?
Furthermore, the faction of the second prince's highness has hinted overtly and secretly more than once that after Zhao Xiang returned to Beijing this time, he was on the side of the second prince.
As far as the Liguo Mansion is concerned, the eldest lady of the Zhao family has the status of an exile after all. God knows what happened in Lingnan after so many years of exile. She is a lady, how can she still be worthy of being the eldest son of Li Guogong's mansion?
until today
In this paddock, the son of the Duke of Li's Mansion respectfully greeted Zhao Xiangshi in public, saying: "Father-in-law!" By the side of the son of the family, obviously, the two people are very familiar!
"Boom!", this matter exploded.
"What's going on? Didn't the two of them divorce? Why—"
"That's right! How long has the Zhao family been back to Beijing? When did the two renew their engagement? Why haven't you heard anything about it!"
"Marriage is not a child's play. The behavior of these two families is truly incomprehensible."
"No wonder the son of Duke Li went to clean the Zhao family's house and redeemed the former servants for them. That's how it is."
"well"
Naturally, the matter cannot be hidden from the Second Prince and Concubine Yan Gui.
When Concubine Yan Gui heard the news, the smile on her face froze instantly. The second prince accompanying him was even more furious.
When Zhao Xiang came to the emperor slowly, the second prince stared at him coldly with anger, wishing to make a hole in him.
Seeing that Zhao Xiang remained elegant and calm, as if he hadn't done anything to be sorry for himself, as if what he did was justified and taken for granted. How could the second prince, who was not a good-natured person, stand this kind of stimulation?
The second prince stared at Zhao Xiang and sneered: "Master Zhao and the Duke of Liguo are married again? When did this happen?"
In front of the emperor, the second prince's angry and aggressive questioning was actually very unruly, but he has always been favored, so why would he care about such details? The emperor will not care about him.
Zhao Xiangdao: "Returning to Your Highness, the marriage contract between the minister's daughter and the son of the Duke of Li has never been broken."
"What did you say! It's impossible!"
The second prince is about to die of anger. The Zhou family and the prince are from outside the family, and Zhou Hansheng is the prince's direct cousin. If Zhao Xiang really has the heart to invest in him, he must never have this marriage contract again.
And he never told himself about it!
What does he mean by this!
"Master Zhao, why didn't you say this earlier?"
The second prince became even more angry, and he was furious.
Zhao Xiang frowned slightly, slightly displeased: "Your Highness, what do you mean by this? Isn't the marriage contract of our two families known to everyone? Besides, even if we don't know, this is our two families' business and has nothing to do with others. Your Highness thinks What did I ask you to say? I really can't understand His Highness's anger towards me."
"you!"
The second prince glared at him fiercely, and was about to explode.
After hearing Zhao Xiang's words, the emperor was also aware of it, and couldn't help but said: "Mo'er, speak well."
The emperor has always attached great importance to Zhao Xiang. Half of the reasons for exiling Zhao Xiang at the beginning were because of his impulsiveness. Of course, there was the second prince's help here. Afterwards, he also regretted a little, but Jinkou Yuyan couldn't change it easily, and he also wanted to teach Zhao Xiang a lesson, so he was really exiled.
But the regret afterwards never disappeared.
After Zhao Xiang came back, he was still personable, calm and introverted, and he was even more respectful to him. The emperor was very happy!
There is even a little relief and a faint pride: he is indeed the person he values, even if he is exiled, he is still unyielding, stable and calm, and this kind of demeanor alone is not something everyone can have.
When asked about how he lived in Lingnan, Zhao Xiang even more vividly said that the academy, shipping, and leading the locals to make a fortune, although most of the things were done by his daughter and adopted son, but this credit is not suitable. Put it on them, and Zhao Xiang needs this credit to be useful, so he borrowed it.
