After marrying the heirless prince, I gave birth to three children

Chapter 405 No One Can Stop It

Lord Wang was almost mad. What else didn't he understand? Zhao Hao did it on purpose!

He deliberately said this in front of Li Dajian.

Lord Wang knew exactly what answer Zhao Hao wanted. He smiled at Zhao Hao and said, "Lord Zhao, don't blame yourself. This is just a misunderstanding."

"I just heard that Yushu ran away from home. I was worried that she, a girl, might be in danger outside. That's why I asked Ciming to bring her back. I think Ciming misunderstood what I meant."

The legitimate son of the Wang family, Wang Ciming.

"I am not responsible for the female officials' assessment, so how would I know that Yushu took the female officials' assessment?" Lord Wang said.

Zhao Hao lowered his eyes. He had thought about this as well and soon came up with an answer.

Perhaps someone mentioned it to Lord Wang, and it must have been mentioned last night, so the Wang family was not seen outside the Imperial Examination Hall yesterday, but appeared early this morning.

Zhao Hao raised his eyes, a look of relief on his face. He patted his chest repeatedly and said, "Master Wang, I'm glad you don't blame me. I was scared to death by you, Big Brother Wang, and I was afraid you would blame me."

"Master Wang, this is all my fault. When you finish the language test and go home, please don't blame her."

Zhao Hao said this again. After the exams in three days, Wang Yushu would not return to the Wang family, but would stay in the inn to take the third exam.

Lord Wang narrowed his eyes slightly. He was very dissatisfied with Zhao Hao in his heart, but he did not show it on his face.

She said with a loving face, "I fully support Yushu taking the female official examination. The family should also prepare something for her. Three days later..."

"Master Wang, please leave it to me." Zhao Hao said, "I'll pick it up at your house when the time comes. Don't bother Yushu."

"I also participated in the imperial examination and was extremely tired. I'd better let Yushu have a good rest."

After hearing what Zhao Hao said, Lord Wang had nothing to say. Besides, it seemed that he, as a father, did not care about his children at all.

"There's no need to trouble Lord Zhao. Yushu is my daughter, Wang. I'll have Ciming deliver her when the time comes."

After Lord Wang finished speaking, he turned and left without waiting for Zhao Hao to say anything else.

His attitude has been expressed clearly enough. If he continues talking to Zhao Hao, he is afraid that he will be angry to death!

As soon as he turned around, Lord Wang's expression became very ugly.

What a waste!

He only gave Wang Ciming such a small task, but he couldn't do it properly. He didn't even send him a message in advance, but let Zhao Hao block him outside the Yangxin Palace.

Now that the matter has been cleared by the Emperor and Empress, if Wang Yushu encounters any more accidents... I'm afraid the Emperor and Empress will be the first to suspect him!

Zhao Hao stood outside the Yangxin Palace with his hands in his sleeves, watching Lord Wang disappear with a slightly complicated expression on his face.

Of course the emperor and empress knew about it, but there was no need for Li Dajian to relay it, as he had just told the story.

That's why Li Dajian was so "untactful" as to not leave.

"If the Second Miss knew that Lord Zhao was so thoughtful, she would definitely be very moved." Li Dajian knew the whole story and said to Zhao Hao with a smile.

Zhao Hao shook his head and said, "There's not much I can do."

Although he knew that in front of the Wang family, if he pushed everything onto Wang Yushu, the end result would be the same as if he took all the responsibility on himself.

But he did it anyway.

Even though Yu Shu might not know, he couldn't and didn't want to betray Yu Shu.

Zhao Hao retracted his gaze and said to Li Dajian, "Thank you for your help today."

Li Dajian is already very old, and recently he has been training a godson and recommending him to the emperor.

Now he has a say in the emperor's presence, but there will always be a day when he will retire, so naturally he is willing to be kind to others.

He smiled and said, "You're welcome, Mr. Zhao."

After Li Dajian saw Zhao Hao off, he returned to the Yangxin Palace to report.

He told the emperor and empress everything that had just happened. Xiao Ji said, "Master Zhao can now stand on his own."

Xie Yao also laughed, "He has indeed grown up. I'm just afraid that Master Wang will be mad to death."

Lord Wang was indeed about to be pissed off, and after leaving the Yangxin Palace, he became angrier and angrier. His rebellious son was incompetent, which led to him being blocked in the Yangxin Palace by Zhao Hao and having such a move done to him.

Now that Wang Yushu has passed the emperor and empress's approval, if anything happens to Wang Yushu, I'm afraid the emperor and empress will suspect him.

But if he does nothing, he won't be able to explain himself...

When Lord Wang returned to the Wang family, the first thing he did was to call Wang Ciming over.

Wang Ciming was not too worried. After all, Zhao Hao said that he would tell his father.

But as soon as he entered the door, Lord Wang raised his hand and smashed -

Wang Ciming moved swiftly, dodging the tea bowl thrown by Lord Wang. He was startled and asked anxiously, "Father, you...what's wrong?"

"Rebellious son!" Lord Wang glared at Wang Ciming. "How dare you ask? Don't you see what stupid things you've done?"

"If you can't even do something as simple as bringing Wang Yushu back to me, what's the point of having you? You're useless!"

In the past, Lord Wang would give Wang Ciming some face. After all, he was the heir chosen by him and the future head of the Wang family.

But lately his tolerance has been growing lower.

Wang Ciming's heart skipped a beat and he immediately knelt down to admit his mistake, while cursing Zhao Hao in his heart.

Didn’t Zhao Hao promise to explain to his father?

"Father, I ran into Zhao Hao this morning. It was all Zhao Hao's fault for stopping us. He also said that everything was his idea and that he seduced Wang Yushu..."

Lord Wang looked at Wang Ciming's stupid look and felt his head go dark. He was even unable to say anything.

He has been raising this son since he was young, so how come he became so stupid?

Lord Wang took a deep breath and said, "Get out!"

Wang Ciming was really scared and didn't dare to stay any longer. He turned around and left.

Lord Wang raised his hand and pinched his brows, then said to his confidant outside the door: "Go and call Ci Yuan over."

Wang Ciyuan, the illegitimate son of the second wife, was his nephew.

Wang Ciyuan arrived quickly. He clasped his fists and bowed, "Nephew pays his respects to uncle."

Lord Wang's previous anger had been suppressed at this moment. He smiled warmly at Wang Ciyuan, "Ciyuan is here, sit down."

"Thank you, uncle." Wang Ciyuan was extremely respectful and sat down obediently on the chair.

Lord Wang asked, "What has Ci Yuan been doing lately?"

"In reply to my uncle, I have been reading books recently." The Wang family is a noble family, and Wang Ciming was appointed as an official by hereditary appointment. However, there is only one quota for hereditary appointments. As a child of the second wife, he can only work hard to take the exam if he wants to become an official.

Last year in Enke, he was not selected.

"Ci Yuan, you should know that the Wang family, as an aristocratic family, has been feared and weakened since the time of the previous emperor."

"It's even more so now," Lord Wang said in a heavy voice. "Your literary talent is well known to your uncle. Your failure to pass the imperial examination last year... had nothing to do with you."

Wang Ciyuan suddenly raised his eyes, his heart skipping a beat, and looked at Lord Wang in disbelief, "Uncle, what you mean is..."

"You are a victim of the art of balancing power." Lord Wang sighed softly and spoke more clearly.

Wang Ciyuan pursed his lips, his face looked extremely ugly, and he looked very unwilling.

Lord Wang changed the subject and said, "Ci Ming's recent work has repeatedly disappointed me. His political work is also mediocre. Sigh... Ci Yuan, I had high hopes for you. But now..."

Lord Wang kept the question a secret, so Wang Ciyuan immediately took the opportunity to ask, "Uncle, please help me clear up this confusion."

"I received news today that Wang Yushu quietly went to take the female official examination."

"As you know, the Empress has always been dissatisfied with the Wang family. If she passes the exam again this time, I'm afraid you, Ci Yuan, will never have a chance to succeed in the future."

After Lord Wang said these words, he successfully saw that Wang Ciyuan's face looked extremely ugly.

The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he said, "If you can bring Wang Yushu out, your uncle will be able to help you and allow you to enter the court."

Wang Ciyuan didn't rush to speak.

Lord Wang waited for a moment, then frowned and said, "Forget it, Ciyuan, if you don't want such an opportunity, your uncle won't force you to do it."

"Even if the Wang family is being targeted, it is still a noble family. It is not a problem for them to support a wealthy idler like you."

"Go out."

Wang Ciyuan seemed to react and said immediately, "Uncle, I will definitely take care of this matter!"

Lord Wang smiled and patted Wang Ciyuan on the shoulder. "Ciyuan, uncle trusts you. Don't let him down."

Wang Ciyuan agreed again and then slowly left Lord Wang's study.

But as soon as he walked out, Wang Ciyuan's expression changed, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.

His uncle really treated him as a fool.

What I just said was full of loopholes. Did I think he was like that idiot Wang Ciming and couldn't hear it?

He does have some talent, but last year during the Enke exam, he had diarrhea for three days and nearly died in the examination room.

How could the answer sheet he wrote under such circumstances be selected?

As for who had done something to him, he now knew. He didn't believe that Lord Wang didn't know about it and yet deliberately said these words to him...

It's nothing more than treating him as a knife.

The Empress was present in person at the female official examination, which showed the Empress's concern for the matter. If something really happened to Wang Yushu, the examinee, and it was found out that he was the one responsible, he would be truly ruined.

"Second son."

The servant's voice sounded, "Madam, please come over."

Wang Ciyuan restrained his expression and replied respectfully, "Yes." Although he was born out of wedlock, he was raised under the name of the second wife.

Because the second wife of the Wang family has no legitimate son.

Wang Ciyuan calmed down and turned to walk towards where the second wife was.

……

Wang Ciming was scolded by Lord Wang, and he became more and more angry. When he heard that Lord Wang had looked for Wang Ciyuan after he left, he became even angrier.

He originally wanted to ask his father for help with something, but his father was angry now, and he was angry at him. Even if he had ten thousand guts, he would not dare to go to his father now.

Just when he was getting annoyed, he heard the voice of a servant outside, "Master, the second master is here."

Wang Ciyuan?

Do you still have the nerve to come to him?

Wang Ciming said: "No!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure appeared at the door. It was Wang Ciyuan. He stepped in, looked at Wang Ciming and said, "Brother, I'm here to help you."

That day, when Zhao Hao was off duty, Wang Ciming appeared on his way home.

Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment, then politely invited Wang Ciming to the restaurant and set up a table for dinner.

Facing Wang Ciming's questioning, Zhao Hao said sincerely: "Brother Wang, please believe me, I really told Lord Wang."

"I also said, Lord Wang, please don't blame Brother Wang. It's all my fault. Eunuch Li was there at the time. If Brother Wang doesn't believe me, he can go ask Eunuch Li."

Wang Ciming snorted softly.

Supervisor Li?

Is that something he can ask whenever he wants?

Zhao Hao muttered, "You've caused me so much trouble! My father scolded me so much..."

"I offer a toast to Brother Wang." Zhao Hao picked up the wine and drank it all in one gulp. "This is all my fault."

Wang Ciming felt a little flattered by Zhao Hao's flattery. Who was Zhao Hao? He was now a favorite of the emperor, the empress's cousin, and half the emperor's uncle. How noble was his status?

But being so humble in front of him, this feeling... is great.

Wang Ciming smiled and said, "Brother Hao, since you've said that, how can I, as your elder brother, argue with you? Sooner or later, we will be a family. I'm relieved to leave Yushu to you."

"But I have something here, you have to help me..."

Zhao Hao patted his chest and said, "Brother, if you have any questions, please tell me. As long as I can help, I will definitely help."

Zhao Hao didn't take it seriously at first. Wang Ciming's official position was not high, so what important matter could he need his help with?

He doesn't think so.

But the more Zhao Hao listened to Wang Ciming, the more unusual he felt this matter was. His expression remained unchanged, but anger was already burning in his heart.

If he understood correctly... Wang Ciming was asking him to clean up the mess that Wang Ciming had committed against the law?

He raised his head and glanced at Wang Ciming with a strange look in his eyes, and even felt a bit inappropriately moved in his heart.

Wang Ciming could even tell him these things, which showed that he really regarded him as his own.

But unfortunately, he was destined to disappoint Wang Ciming.

He couldn't do the favor Wang Ciming asked him to do. He wouldn't do anything that violated the law.

Of course, Zhao Hao didn't show it on the surface.

After Wang Ciming finished speaking, he saw that Zhao Hao didn't respond. He felt a sudden rush of emotion and had a bad feeling. He immediately put his arm around Zhao Hao's shoulders and said, "Brother Hao, I'm telling you all this because I treat you like my own. You can't sell me out."

"Yushu is my sister, so we are a family, right?" Wang Ciming said, and took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve and stuffed it into Zhao Hao's hand.

Wang Ciyuan was so close, so Zhao Hao naturally had to show some appreciation. He addressed her in a more intimate way, "Brother, don't be like this. I will definitely help you with your matter, but this is unnecessary."

After Zhao Hao said this, Wang Ciming immediately felt relieved. It was good that Zhao Hao was willing to help.

Although he felt sad about giving away the money, it was the first time after all, and there was no basis for cooperation between them. He would only feel at ease after Zhao Hao accepted the money.

Once they receive the money, they are all in the same boat.

"Brother Hao," Wang Ciming advised, "Please accept it. We have a long way to go in the future."

Zhao Hao smiled. He took the banknote and put it into his sleeve. "Don't worry, brother. Leave this to me."

Wang Ciming smiled brilliantly.

Zhao Hao accepted the banknote, and everything was settled. He immediately raised his glass and said, "Come on, let's drink. Today... we won't leave until we're drunk!"

Zhao Hao and Wang Ciming drank until the moon was at its highest point in the sky. When they left the restaurant, they both had to be supported.

The difference is that Zhao Hao regained consciousness after getting on the carriage.

He took out the silver bills from his sleeve and counted them in the dim light inside the carriage.
