Chapter 154 A Madman and a Cripple Are the Best Match (18)
Xie Wangyuan slapped his thighs with excitement. He said cheerfully, "That would be great. If Jin'er can marry Wan'er, it would be a blessing for him and the entire general's mansion."
Now it was Prime Minister Xiao's turn to be unhappy. He rolled his eyes at Xie Wangyuan and snorted, "Clap, clap, clap. This leg of yours has no feeling at all, and you're still clapping?"
Xie Wangyuan: "I'd love to."
Prime Minister Xiao was so angry that he poured a basin of cold water on him mercilessly, "Maybe your son is in love with you and doesn't know Wan'er's feelings yet. Don't be too happy too soon."
Xie Wangyuan's joy was dampened a lot by the basin of water, but it was rekindled in an instant.
"There is still a chance. Some people want their sons to marry Wan'er, but unfortunately his sons have already married and had children, so he doesn't have this blessing."
Prime Minister Xiao: "Wan'er, Wan'er, who are you calling? You call me so affectionately. I think Wan'er has no interest in your older son. It's just that he has unrequited love for her."
Xie Wangyuan was so angry that he really wanted to kick someone, but the conditions did not allow it.
He could only curse: "Bah! A virtuous woman is afraid of a clinging man. Just wait and see, they will definitely succeed!"
Prime Minister Xiao was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He said, "Even if it's successful, you still have to call me dad? I'm Wan'er's adoptive father!"
Xie Wangyuan was not willing to be outdone, "So what if I'm your foster father? Then, can't I just let my daughter Jin call you dad more often?"
This tactic of retreating in order to advance caught Prime Minister Xiao off guard and forced him to retreat step by step.
He turned around angrily, leaving Xie Wangyuan with a cold back.
Xie Wangyuan also turned his head away, muttering, "I think you, an old man, are just jealous!"
The two of them just stayed like that, ignoring each other.
However, after a while...
Xie Wangyuan had already imagined the scene of his son's marriage in his mind. He was thinking about it happily when he was poked.
He slapped her, "Don't bother me!"
The hand behind him was still poking and poking, ruthlessly bursting the pink bubble in Xie Wangyuan's fantasy.
He clenched his fists, ready to punch the troublemaker at any time.
Turning around, he saw the enlarged face of Prime Minister Xiao.
The scene was a bit funny for a moment, with two grown men staring at each other.
Xie Wangyuan coughed, turned his head and looked away.
He stiffened his neck and said in a rough voice: "Why are you so close to me? Stay away from me."
The voice was a little cold and a little embarrassed.
Xie Wangyuan’s inner thoughts: When I turned around, I saw a grown man bending over and looking at me with a shy smile. How terrifying it was.
Prime Minister Xiao had a smile on his face. He deliberately slowed down his voice and said, "Old Xie, are you angry enough?"
Xie Wangyuan: "No, I'm not angry enough."
I was not angry at first, but you messed with me when I was fantasizing about my son's marriage, and now I am angry again! I am so angry!
I was originally fantasizing about drinking the wine that Wan'er offered me, it's all your fault!
Prime Minister Xiao's old face was full of smiles. He said, "Don't be angry if you are not angry enough. Now we should discuss other things."
Xie Wangyuan glared at him and said in a hard tone: "I don't have anything to discuss with you?"
After hearing this, Prime Minister Xiao also glared back. He straightened up and said slowly, "Don't you want to discuss it? General Xie is not interested in the matter concerning the person in the southeast."
"Ugh……"
He sighed, still feeling uncomfortable all over. He should have fanned himself while speaking.
pity!
Xie Wangyuan thought about what he had just said, southeast?
Southeast of the general...the imperial palace!
His expression suddenly became solemn and his eyes darkened.
That person made him live a life worse than death for so many years, how could he forget it?
Xie Wangyuan said seriously: "Old Xiao, we need to discuss this. We need to help Wan'er."
"Yes."
Prime Minister Xiao said this and sat down as well.
Pulling Jiang Yunzhou down from the throne is not an easy task, and both of them looked solemn.
Jiang Yunzhou also placed a number of spies in the General's Mansion, but they were all dealt with by Xie Shujin and Xie Shuyue.
Then he asked his people to wear human skin masks and pass false information to Jiang Yunzhou.
This led him to mistakenly believe that the General's Mansion had completely collapsed and could not recover.
……
Before I knew it, it was already midnight.
The two of them listed all the details they could think of, linking them together, and worked out an extremely meticulous plan.
Although plans cannot keep up with changes, everything depends on human efforts and we should not fight a battle without preparation.
Xie Wangyuan called the servants and replaced a cup of tea for him and Prime Minister Xiao.
Prime Minister Xiao picked up the teacup, took a sip, and praised, "Not bad, Old Xie, where did you get this tea? Give me some too."
Xie Wangyuan: "It's the only one in the world. This is the only cup. I won't refill it after I finish it."
This led Prime Minister Xiao to say that he was stingy.
-
Xie Shujin carried Jiang Wan to the guest room that the general's wife had prepared long ago.
He carefully put the person down and covered her with the quilt.
Xie Shujin quietly looked at her sleeping face, his eyes wandering from bottom to top, passing over her pale lips, delicate and small nose, tightly closed eyes, long and thick eyelashes...
You're already asleep, why are you still frowning?
Xie Shujin gently helped her smooth it out.
His heart felt uncontrollably hot, he was so obsessed with her beauty that he couldn't bear to look away.
After a while, he restrained himself and looked away, then stood up and sat down on the stool, supporting his head.
From his line of sight, he could see her at a glance.
……
When Jiang Wan woke up, he found himself lying on a big soft bed.
Just as she was about to get up, she was stopped by someone who came hurriedly.
"do not move."
Along with the sound came a clear bamboo fragrance.
Jiang Wan raised her eyes, her eyebrows curved, and asked him with a smile: "Aren't you asleep?"
Xie Shujin supported her with one hand and picked up the pillow with the other hand and placed it behind her.
"I'm not asleep. I'm just resting my eyes."
I’m afraid that when you wake up you will be frightened by the greed in my eyes.
Xie Shujin did not say this out loud.
Jiang Wan let out a small "oh" and leaned back on the pillow, following his strength.
"Are you hungry?" Xie Shujin asked with concern, picking up the bird's nest on the table.
Jiang Wan nodded, her eyes were moist and a little hazy from just waking up.
So good...
Xie Shujin lowered his eyelashes and dared not look at her.
The bird's nest is always kept warm, the temperature is just right.
Xie Shujin scooped up a spoonful, blew it gently, and handed it to her mouth.
Jiang Wan ate obediently.
Soon, the bowl of bird's nest was finished.
The warm bird's nest slid down his throat, and Jiang Wan felt a lot warmer, and his face regained some color.
"Your Highness, please stay in the mansion tonight. Father has already arranged everything in the palace."
Xie Shujin moved closer and wiped the water from the corner of her mouth, speaking in a light tone, as if he was talking about something insignificant.
"what?"
Jiang Wan was slightly startled and couldn't help but exclaim.
