Chapter 889: 889-Guilty
My Ferocious Tigress Wife
If you think like this, will Miss Youmei marry you if she finds out?
Duo Fu thought,â Although this man is from the Central Plains, he fled to North Wu with his father when he was young. He came from a poor family and hasnât studied for many years. He probably canât even recognize Chinese characters.â
If he really found a noble daughter with this appearance, the couple would probably not be very harmonious.
He glanced at Emperor Yong Ping. This person drank half a mouthful of tea and almost choked. He was holding back his tears. It was quite difficult.
âAre you really interested in Mei?â Emperor Yongping asked again.
Ancestral Dragon Wang expressed that this emperorâs ears were not good, or his memory was not good?
He scratched his head.â I really like it. I just-I just said it. Your Majesty, please make the decision.â
Emperor Yong Ping nodded.â Then have you asked Xie Qingâs opinion?â
âXie Qing?â Ancestral Dragon Wang was stunned. Was he referring to the Third Master of the Xie family or the one who was in mourning? Didnât Your Majesty say that you wanted to find a wife for me? The first thing I did was, of course, seek Your Majestyâs help. I donât know that Xieâ¦
Qing?â
Obviously, he didnât know how to address her.
It was not easy to call someone without an official position. It would be too disrespectful to call him by his name. He did not know what to call him.
It was very practical.
â Iâm 24 years old this year and havenât married yetâ¦â
How old are you? Emperor Yong Ping was shocked. The teacup fell on the table with a bang, spilling all over the table.
He Duofu and his servants were dumbfounded. The young eunuch beside him had sharp eyes and quickly went forward to wipe the water on the table.
Emperor Yong Ping didnât even look at him. He actually saw the grievance on his face that was covered by his beard.
With this face, there would be people who would believe the 42-year-old!
He thought about it carefully. Sikong Xiaoâs memorial didnât seem to have written how old this guy was.
The investigation wasnât thorough. Perhaps even Sikong Xiao didnât notice?
âYouâre already twenty-four. I thought youâ¦â Twenty-five?â Emperor Yong Ping laughed dryly. He had always warned himself not to judge a book by its cover. He really could not judge a book by its cover.
She was a good match for Youmeiâs age.
In the investigation that Duo Fu handed over, there was a Mei who was one year younger than Lady Xiao and was also twenty years old this year.
Even though the Xie family was a noble family, Youmei was just a servant. Coupled with this twenty-four-year-old Jiaozhou Provincial Governor and Anbei General, they were definitely climbing up to the sky.
Face, letâs talk about it another way.
Men, what was there to look at?
With ability and fame, how could they not be better than those who were useless?
Emperor Yong Ping touched his face. He was only lying to others. He cared about this very much.
âDoes Your Majesty mean that you agree?â
Emperor Yong Ping trembled with excitement when he saw the bearded man.
â.. I have to ask Xie Qingâ¦Itâs the husband and wifeâs intention.â Emperor Yong Ping pondered. What was the meaning of this? Could Xie Xian be the master of Lady Xiao?
âHowever, I donât think there will be any big problem. After all, my beloved minister is successful and famous. Thatâs a talent.â The Emperorâs words were so shameful that his tongue almost slipped out.
In the end, when he said this, Wang Zulong suddenly fell silent.
He seemed troubled.
The main thing was that if one didnât look carefully, one wouldnât be able to tell. That beard was too well-hidden.
â Thank you for your kind words, Your Majesty,â Wang Zulong explained while trembling,ââPreviously, when I was catching the thief, I fought with Miss Youmei due to a misunderstanding. I was careless and attacked a littleâ¦A little too much might have hurt her.â
Duo Fuâs eyes widened.
âWhere is the hurt?â Emperor Yong Ping asked curiously.
âI donât know if my arm is broken or not.â
Damn it!
Emperor Yongping: Iâm leaving!
âBut I was also injured. I had a reason for it. I thought they were in cahoots. I took pleasure in helping others. Besides, I was beaten up and injured.âWang Zulong was afraid that the emperor would not protect the matchmaker, so he hurriedly rubbed his knee on the ground and took two steps up.
âShe even knocked out one of my molars.âAncestral Dragon Wang was just about to open his mouth when he was stopped by Duo Fu.
âProvincial Governor, please have some self-respect! Donât offend the emperorâs authority.â
Emperor Yong Ping coughed. He wanted to stretch his neck to take a closer look, but Duo Fu blocked him again.
The problem was, was this looking for a wife?
You dislocated my arm, and I knocked out one of your teeth. What kind of love at first sight is this? Is this guy sure heâs not a masochist?
He knew about Youmei. He had just seen her and knew that she was also extremely strong.
Originally, Xie Xian had already asked his subordinates to go around and find out about the in-laws. First, it was delayed by Xiao Baoxin, and then it was delayed by Madam Yuanâs death.
He hadnât matched up with her yet, but the two of them had already fought to this extentâ¦
The Yongping Emperor now understood that he was a matchmaker. He came to propose marriage. Maybe he would let the Mei family and her family kick him out.
Other people might give him some face as a newly surrendered provincial governor, but Lady Xiao was someone that even the Emperor could not be certain of.
Even if he really did beat her up, could the emperor use this matter to punish Lady Xiao?
Putting aside the fact that there was no such law, with the grudge between Wang Zulong and Youmei, this was considered a personal grudge and a neighborâs dispute.
âAlright, Iâll get someone to ask againâ¦â
âYour Majesty, please help this subject this time. This subject fell in love with Miss Youmei at first sight. Once I made up my mind, only Miss Mei will not marry.ââIâm willing to repay Your Majestyâs kindness.â Wang Zulong raised his voice and said.â
The guards patrolling two miles outside the hall:
âWhich one has plum blossoms?â
âThe Xie family of Chen County.â
âWhoâs interested? And you still beg the emperor to take you out?â
âWho can it be from this voice?â
â..â
Emperor Yong Ping covered his buzzing ears.âAlright, alright, keep your voice down. This one is calledâââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ
âYour Majestyâ¦â Wang Zulong looked at the Emperor pitifully.
Emperor Yong Ping heaved a sigh of relief.â Speak with Minister Xie. Provincial Governor Wang is very sincere. If he agrees, I will be very happy.ââ
Duo Fu chuckled. Who didnât know who?
Would Xie Xian care if the Emperor was happy or not? The main thing was whether his wife was happy or not.
If Eldest Lady Xiao didnât relent, then it would be useless even if his wife was happy.
However, the Emperor had already said this, so he had no choice but to make this trip. Duo Fu hurriedly took the order and left.
When Emperor Yong Ping heard that Empress Xiao had killed four palace servants in the Peaceful Life Palace, it was already late at night. After Duo Fu went to the Xie family and did nothing, he returned to the palace.
âBecause of what?â Emperor Yongping asked.
âThey said itâs a rumor to create trouble and to corrupt the palace.ââ
Hearing that the palace was in chaos, Emperor Yong Ping felt inexplicably guilty.
After exchanging a glance with Dove, the master and servant both turned their heads in tacit understanding.
âWhat did the Empress hear?â Emperor Yong Ping touched his chin. His face was a little hot. âYou said that you were also in the first place. I drank too much, so why didnât you stop me?!â
