Seeing that he had angered his father again, the eldest Kou Zheng quickly stepped in to help. "That Yun Zhiqiu won't be as ungrateful as Niu Youde, will he?"
Kou Lingxu glared at his second brother, his fingers lightly tapping on the armrest of his chair. "Do you think the pressure from those three families will be so easy to withstand?"
Kou Zheng pondered for a moment, then understood. He smiled. "Those three families will not rest until they achieve their goal. If Niu Youde rejects them, Yun Zhiqiu will definitely be under a lot of pressure. That would be an understatement, but he might even lose his life. The greater the pressure from the three families, the better protection the Kou family will have for Yun Zhiqiu. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to refuse. "
Kou Lingxu nodded slightly, a hint of a smile in his reverie. To be more precise, it was a hint of mischief, as if he wanted to watch a good show.
Inside the forbidden garden of Albatross Manor, Wei Shu accompanied Xiahou Ta for a stroll as they chatted about what happened in the imperial court.
When he finished, Xiahou Ta smiled and said, "Why do you think I'm doing this?"
Wei Shu smiled. "Old Master is reminding Lord Qing just in case he doesn't understand. Once Lord Qing understands, he will not allow the four Heavenly Kings to have their way with the marriage. Since Niu Youde has committed such a grave crime, even if he is fine, he will still be punished. Lord Qing will not put him in an important position for the time being. Otherwise, how will he convince the masses? In this way, no one will be able to get Fire Asura's disciple for the time being. This is the most advantageous for our Xiahou Family. It will make it easier for our Xiahou Family to communicate with him secretly and separate him from other forces. It will also make it easier for us to observe who is hiding behind him. Is Wei Shu right? "
Xiahou Ta stroked his beard and laughed. "You are a promising student!"
Wei Shu pondered. "Wei Shu, however, is worried that Lord Qing will be able to see through your subtle hints?"
Xiahou Ta chuckled. "Of course I have to be subtle. If the four Heavenly Kings find out, won't they blame me for being nosy? As for whether he can see through it or not, that's for sure. I've already given Shangguan Qing a look. He would be a fool if he still doesn't understand. "
Wei Shu was taken aback. He found it interesting and chuckled as well.
In Heavenly King Vast Heaven's manor, there was an exquisite pavilion on an empty hillside covered in green grass. Inside the pavilion, there was a scene rarely seen elsewhere. The master and steward sat opposite each other, drinking wine.
"With less than half a Tiger Flag, you actually managed to defeat the elite army of a million soldiers from the Yuding Domain! It was really unexpected. This Niu Youde is such a valiant general! "Steward Su Yun, who was pouring wine for Hao Defang, shook her head and exclaimed.
Hao Defang looked into the distance and sighed, "That's why we must do our best regarding the marriage!"
Su Yun gently put down the wine pot. "Actually, it would be more sincere if I personally accompanied Yanzi."
Hao Defang slowly turned around to look at her. "Do you know why I didn't let you go yourself?"
Su Yun smiled bitterly: "His Highness is afraid that if I do this personally, my family will criticize me. It will be hard to face them in the future. "
Hao Defang downed the wine and said, "This is only one of the reasons. In order to successfully matchmake them, I instructed my subordinates to use some of the seven emotions and six desires on Niu Youde when necessary."
Su Yun was silent. Naturally, she understood what he was referring to in the seven emotions and six desires. He didn't want her to do the dirty work herself.
She silently picked up the pot and poured wine for him again.
However, Hao Defang gently raised her hand and held her hand, looking at her quietly.
Su Yun's hand trembled, but she still shook her head and refused, "Your Highness, I've already been on equal footing with you. Everyone in the world knows that I've made an oath in front of madam. If I overstep it, I really won't have the face to stay in the palace."
"You really shouldn't have …" Hao Defang had a complicated expression as he forcefully grabbed her hand.
Su Yun revealed a faint smile, "It's all in the past. This is good. I'm very satisfied. "
Hao Defang's five fingers slowly loosened … …
A small exquisite house carried by sixteen people was flying through the starry sky. Gou Yue was dressed in plain clothes as he stood by the railing outside the house. He was holding a star bell in his hand, trying to contact someone.
Inside the house behind the magnificent bead curtain, the simple clothing could not hide the beauty of the mother and daughter sitting by the couch.
"Remember, your every move outside represents the image of the Wang Family. You must not be unruly and willful. A girl should act like a girl, understand?" Mei Niang couldn't help but remind her daughter, who was lying on the windowsill table and looking at the starry sky outside the window.
Guang Mei 'er helplessly turned her head and sighed, "Mother. How many times have you said the same thing to me along the way? I'll remember it. I won't damage the image of the palace. "
"Stupid girl, I'm doing this for your own good. You're getting impatient. "Mei Niang snorted and poked her head again.
After the house settled down, Mei Niang saw that Gou Yue had been using the star bell to contact someone. Thinking about it, she felt that something was wrong. When Gou Yue stopped, she could not help but ask, "Housekeeper Gou, what's the matter?" What's the matter? "She was worried that something had changed.
Gou Yue turned around and was silent. He walked to the door and said through the bead curtain, "Wangfei, there's a person called Niu Youde who caused some trouble in the Youding region."
Mei Niang was stunned. She knew that Niu Youde caused trouble in the Youding region and rushed over after confirming his whereabouts. What did Gou Yue mean by mentioning it again?
"Niu Youde? Is it that Niu Youde from the Imperial Gardens? "Unexpectedly, Guang Mei 'er suddenly turned around and stood up. She walked to the door and opened the bead curtain.
Mei Niang saw her daughter's reaction and roughly understood what Gou Yue meant. Previously, it was not good to tell her daughter that he was bringing her for a blind date.
Gou Yue nodded and smiled, "It's that Niu Youde."
Guang Mei 'er immediately asked curiously, "I've heard of him. I heard that this person is very arrogant. Wasn't he sent to the Desolate Ancient Wasteland by His Majesty? Why is he causing trouble in the Youding region? "
Gou Yue smiled, "He has been released for more than half a year."
Mei Niang walked over and cooperated, "What trouble did Niu Youde cause?"
Gou Yue smiled bitterly and said, "The matter this time has really blown up a little …" He immediately explained the situation to Mei Niang. He told her about how Chu Zishan was killed, then he told her about the bloody battle between the Blue Tiger Flag and the million-strong army of the Youding Domain.
Guang Mei 'er was dumbfounded.
Mei Niang gasped, "Fifty thousand people defeated a million elites in the Youding region? This Niu Youde is actually so powerful? "She did not expect such a big scene to occur.
Gou Yue glanced at Guang Mei 'er and said with slight exaggeration, "I just contacted His Highness, and His Highness also praised him as a peerless general!"
Mei Niang's eyes lit up. After all, she had been in the upper echelons for so many years and knew what it meant to have such a talented general. If she could really get such a good son-in-law, he would be comparable to a million soldiers. In the future, who in the imperial residence would dare to look down on her? Whoever wanted to snatch her position would have to go through her own daughter first! There was no other reason than the fact that she had a son-in-law who was comparable to a million soldiers. Unless His Highness wanted to fall out with this son-in-law, it would be impossible!
Unexpectedly, Guang Mei 'er pouted and said, "What's wrong with Father? This Niu Youde is so arrogant. He killed Father's subordinates, and yet he still praised him. "
Gou Yue said, "The people who said that he was arrogant must be Miss's group of friends. They must be jealous of him. This Niu Youde is not simple. He is a true hero, a man among men! Miss should have heard of the Morality Sundry Goods Store. It was founded by him. When he was the main town in the Heavenly Street, he had never bowed his head to the shops of the rich and powerful families. During the assessment in the Lifeless Land, he defeated everyone and obtained the first place conferred by the Heavenly Emperor. During the assessment in the Land of Purgatory, many people bullied him. He would rather die than submit. He single-handedly killed his way through the millions of soldiers, laughing at the heroes of the world! He had done a great service in the Phantom City. Even though there were so many people in the Ancient Wastelands who were afraid of him, he still managed to enter and come out alive. He did not have any backing or background in the celestial court, but with his own ability, he climbed to the position of the commander of the guards step by step in just a few thousand years. From a deputy general to a commander, to a great commander, to a commander, to a commander, and then to a commander, he jumped all the way up. At this rate, in another tens of thousands of years, he might even be one of the 72 marquises in the celestial court. If becoming an official of the imperial court was not considered a skill, then what was considered a skill? If His Highness could have a subordinate who could lead fifty thousand men to defeat a million elite soldiers, His Highness would be overjoyed. If such a capable subordinate could be considered arrogant, then His Highness would probably be eager to have more subordinates. Miss, think about it. Your friends are basically people with extraordinary family backgrounds, but which one of them is as capable as Niu Youde? I'm afraid many of your friends don't even have a proper job to do. Those who do have something to do are just idling away their days. Does this kind of person have the right to say that Niu Youde is arrogant? If the person who said this has the ability, then try being arrogant! That's why people who say such things are just jealous. Those who don't suffer from jealousy are mediocre! "
Guang Mei 'er was stunned. This was the first time she heard such an evaluation of Niu Youde. However, she also knew Gou Yue's status by her father's side. There must be a reason for him to say such a thing. She turned to look at her mother and asked, "Is that so?"
Mei Niang smiled and nodded, "Yes! Those who don't know him say that he's arrogant. If I were to say it, this Niu Youde is a real man. He's many times better than those young masters who only know how to show off in front of women. This is a real man! "
She then raised her head to look at Gou Yue and asked, "Butler Gou, since this Niu Youde is there, I would like to see what kind of person he is. Can you arrange for me to meet him?"
Guang Mei 'er's curious eyes looked at Gou Yue with a hint of anticipation.
Gou Yue nodded, "Princess has ordered, this old servant will do his best to arrange it." He then retreated from the door.
Guang Mei 'er turned back and asked, "Mother! Does this Niu Youde look very fierce? "
Mei Niang laughed, "I heard that this Niu Youde looks valiant and has the demeanor of a real man!" She then held her daughter's hand and sat back on the couch. She sighed, "Mei 'er, you're not young anymore. Why don't we see what this Niu Youde is like and get him to be your husband?"
"Mother!" Guang Mei 'er instantly blushed and stomped her feet, "I don't want to find such a ruthless person who kills people like flies."
Mei Niang slanted her eyes and said, "Don't tell me you want to find those young masters who fool around with women all day long? Those kinds of people don't have to worry about food and clothing, but how many of them are successful? "
Guang Mei 'er snorted, "No way. If I want to find someone, I will find someone I like. Whatever family background is not important. As long as the person is good and motivated, what's there to be afraid of in the future?"
Mei Niang rolled her eyes and was somewhat speechless.
Back then, she couldn't wait to climb up to the rich and powerful. Her own daughter, on the other hand, really didn't know the hardships of the world and only knew how to talk in her sleep. She couldn't help but sigh, "I'm thinking too much. What's the use of helping you take a fancy to him? You're just a pampered young miss. Someone like Niu Youde might not even take a fancy to you. It's a waste of your thoughts. "
