Gou Yue said indifferently, "Wangfei has also heard about this matter of yours, and it is precisely because of General's friendship that she felt that by entrusting her beloved daughter to General, General will definitely not mistreat her. This is one of the main reasons why Wangfei likes General so much. Wang Fei is also a person who cares about relationships, and will not be an evil person who forces others against their will. She will help you and that Shopkeeper Yun. If you take her as a concubine, Wang Fei will not have any objections. "
As he said this, Miao Yi couldn't help but take a few more glances at the other party. As expected, he was no ordinary person. His words were flawless. If he hadn't been warned by the Kou Clan and knew the inside story beforehand, he might have really been fooled into thanking him. Gently shaking his head, he said: "Wang Fei's sudden favor really caught this general off guard. This general was not mentally prepared at all and really did not dare to accept such a wonderful thing."
Gou Yue asked, "Why not? Is my Young Miss not attractive enough? "
Miao Yi said, "Miss is a peerless beauty in this world, but it has nothing to do with her looks. I am truly unable to reach such heights."
Gou Yue: "What do you mean by that? Wang Fei and Miss always treated everyone equally. They only cared about friendship and not background. Had Wang Fei and Miss been arrogant towards the general just now? Could it be that he was worried that the young miss had some hidden reasons for marrying the general? There is one thing I can guarantee to the general, the teachings of the wang fu will not do anything that will bring shame to the family. Miss is still as pure as ice and as clean as jade. Without the wang fu's consent, Miss will not and will not have the opportunity to be tainted with the slightest suspicion. "
He was worried that Miao Yi would think that the sudden appearance of such a good thing was because he knew that Miao Yi didn't even mind being a widow, and wanted him to swallow some unspeakable secret.
Miao Yi replied, "You're being too serious, Miao Yi. It's just that I don't dare to climb up the social ladder."
Gou Yue said, "General, there are some things that need to be considered realistically. You are in a difficult situation, and Princess Consort is definitely someone who can speak up in front of Prince."
Miao Yi remained silent for a long time. In the end, he said in a deep voice, "This has happened too suddenly. Can you give me some time to think about it?"
After that, no matter what Gou Yue said, Miao Yi had the same meaning. He wanted to go back and think about it carefully.
Threats and promises were useless, so Gou Yue could only be more practical. "There are some things that I won't hide from General. This time, I was ordered by Wang Ye to bring Young Miss. I didn't think that Wang Fei would also come. Wang Fei and Young Miss don't know the purpose of this trip. In reality, there is no need for Wang Fei to ask about this. Wang Ye also has the intention of marrying Young Miss to General. I have come here under orders to bring Young Miss and General together. Does General know why? "
Miao Yi pretended to be surprised and said, "Your Highness wants to marry the Young Miss to me? How could such a big thing happen to me in Yuding Domain? Why? "
Gou Yue said, "I heard that your master is the Fire Asura who dominated the world many years ago?"
Miao Yi was taken aback. "How did you know?"
Gou Yue replied, "It doesn't matter how he found out. What's important is that His Highness admires Fire Asura and has taken a liking to the general. That's why he married Miss to him. General received invitations from several families at the same time. I'm afraid the other families also have the same intention. "
He had no other choice but to reveal this matter. Miao Yi wouldn't relent no matter what, insisting that he go back and think it over first. Later on, Miao Yi wouldn't be able to avoid coming into contact with the other three clans. Once he did, his act would definitely be exposed, so he might as well just say it out loud. He didn't want Miao Yi to blame them for lying to him later.
Miao Yi furrowed his brows and muttered, "So it's because of this …"
Gou Yue said, "Even though the situation is the same, when it comes to sincerity, our Young Miss is the daughter of the first wife, while the other families are all born of concubines. Our Young Miss' beauty can only be better than the other families, and the Princess Consort has indeed taken a liking to the general unknowingly. This is fate. No matter what happens in the future, the Princess Consort only has this one daughter. No matter what, she will never see her own daughter and son-in-law suffer. As for the Hao family, we sent the Head Steward to act as a matchmaker. The Hao family only sent a Head Steward. You can imagine how important the General is to the Hao family. As for the Ying family, I don't need to explain the grudge between the General and the Ying family. They are obviously trying to use the General. Ying Yao's death is definitely related to the General. Do you think that after you go to the Ying family and suffer the pain of losing a son, Ying Yao's parents will pretend nothing happened? Even if the General goes to the Kou family, you won't be able to live in peace! "
This was related to the matter of Yun Zhiqiu becoming the Kou family's adopted daughter. Miao Yi couldn't help asking. "I have no grudge against the Kou family. Why won't I be able to live in peace when I go to the Kou family? "
"No grudge? Really?" Gou Yue chuckled, then asked, "Have you forgotten about the trial in the Lifeless Lands, General? As Kou Wenlan's subordinate, you were actually fighting with Kou Wenhuang's subordinates. You might be able to hide the truth from others, but not from those with eyes. I don't know if the General really doesn't know, but I'm sure you know a little bit about Kou Wenlan's original position in the Kou family. She was someone who hung around with thugs like Xiahou and Longcheng. However, you helped Kou Wenlan during the trial in the Lifeless Lands, allowing Kou Wenlan to obtain the Kou family's support. At the same time, you pushed Kou Wenhuang out of the ranks to be groomed. Do you think Kou Wenhuang will truly acknowledge you as his brother-in-law? I know that the General and Kou Wenlan are friends. However, the internal conflict between Kou Wenhuang and Kou Wenlan is unavoidable. I wonder which side the General intends to stand on when you go to the Kou family? Do you want to get involved in the Kou family's internal strife? Are you going to help Kou Wenlan suppress Kou Wenhuang, or help Kou Wenhuang take down Kou Wenlan, and deal with him in the end? Is it Wenbai? It's not just the Kou family. Regardless of whether you marry into the Ying family, the Hao family, or the Kou family, no matter whose daughter you marry, you will inevitably have to take part in the internal strife. Perhaps the General is unaware of the dangers involved, but I am well aware of it. Only my Young Miss is different. The Princess Consort only has one daughter, the Young Miss. The Princess Consort's position is transcendent, and she doesn't need to participate in the struggles of the bastard children. The General only needs to stand behind the Princess Consort, and you don't need to care about anything else. The General is a wise man. Do you still need to think too much about where to go from here? "
Upstairs, the Princess Consort Mei Niang, who had secretly come up to the second floor to eavesdrop on the conversation, secretly applauded Gou Yue's words. She silently praised this Steward, who was indeed the person His Highness valued the most. His ability to handle matters was indeed extraordinary. With just a few words, he was able to crush the other families with a single blow.
Most importantly, Gou Yue's words resonated with her heart. Once Niu Youde married her daughter, he would stand behind her. He would be the power in her hands, and no one would be able to snatch him away!
Gou Yue's cultivation was not something Miao Yi could compare to. Naturally, he had already sensed that the Princess Consort was upstairs.
Miao Yi was silent. Gou Yue's words reminded him of something. When he returned, he had to remind Yun Zhiqiu not to get involved in the Kou family's internal strife after she became Kou Lingxu's adopted daughter.
Seeing his silence, Gou Yue thought that he had convinced him, so he struck while the iron was hot and said, "Also, let's return to reality. The incident that happened to the General happened in Yuding Domain, which is under His Highness's jurisdiction. Only His Highness can truly help the General with the joint investigation of the three departments this time. Whether Yuding Domain will relent or not is entirely up to His Highness. With the Princess Consort's high regard and the Princess Consort's words at His Highness's side, the General's future is guaranteed! "
In the elegant backyard of Scenic Cloud Hall, Tang Henian, who was about to rub his brush, suddenly furrowed his brows and said, "Interesting. This Gou Yue is really something. I guess that the Princess Consort is giving him a lot of pressure, or maybe the other families behind him are giving him pressure. He doesn't even care about his reputation anymore. He openly let everyone know that Duke Guang was using public property for his own personal gain, and actually faked an imperial edict to get someone away. This is bullying others because they can't expose him. This is really beyond everyone's expectations. I'm afraid the other two families have lost their temper because of him. At this point, Gou Yue obviously wouldn't give up until he achieved his goal. Even if Niu Youde could delay him, Gou Yue probably wouldn't let Niu Youde go to the other families. Young Master, you can contact Niu Youde at the right time. Otherwise, if we don't make any moves on our side, it will easily raise suspicions. At the same time, remind Niu Youde that if Gou Yue wants to delay him and prevent him from going to the other families, don't force him. Otherwise, it might backfire. Just delay him there until Gao Guan comes. With Duke Guang's side giving in on this matter, it will be enough. Also … tell him to be careful of what he eats and drinks. Gou Yue is throwing caution to the wind. He might use any underhanded methods. Tell him not to stay indoors alone, to avoid situations where a man and a woman are alone in the same room. If it really doesn't work, tell him to immediately contact his subordinates with the Star Bell and forcefully attack the Pavilion of Truth. We will send experts to assist him. "
Kou Wenlan was quite shocked when she heard this. She hurriedly picked up the Star Bell to contact him.
Thus, Miao Yi, who was in the Pavilion of Truth, took out the Star Bell. After making a slight reply, he stood up and said, "Kou Wenlan sent a message to urge me to go over. I have stayed here long enough. Farewell!"
Gou Yue stood up and stood in front of Miao Yi, asking, "Has General made a decision?"
Miao Yi said, "Let me go back and think about it. I can assure you that I have listened to your words. If I have to agree, I will only agree to you. I will not agree to the other three clans."
Gou Yue's eyes brightened. "Are you serious?"
Miao Yi asked, "Do you think I am a man who goes back on my word?"
Gou Yue said, "If that's the case, then why bother going to the other clans? Why don't you stay here and think about it to prove General's sincerity? You don't have to go to the Kou Clan! "
Miao Yi was silent for a moment. In the end, he nodded and said, "That's fine too!"
Gou Yue revealed a hint of a smile. He wanted to arrange a residence for Miao Yi to rest, but Miao Yi refused, saying that he wanted to take a walk and relax.
Gou Yue naturally agreed. He leaned on the railing and watched Miao Yi slowly stroll by the lake. Han Dong walked over from the side and informed, "The Hao and Ying clans have been sending people to urge Niu Youde to go over from time to time."
"If you really let him go, who knows what those old fogeys will do to him. Just say that they haven't finished discussing official matters." Gou Yue said calmly.
"Understood!" Han Dong accepted the order and left.
Gou Yue turned around and quickly went up to the loft. He saw Mei Niang waiting for him and bowed in greeting.
Mei Niang's heart warmed as she asked, "Will he agree?"
Gou Yue smiled. "Most likely, he is already tempted. Otherwise, based on this person's wild and impulsive personality, he wouldn't be so hesitant. In fact, our conditions are better than the other three clans. The key is that we can help him. However, if this matter is not confirmed, there will still be variables. If possible … "He hesitated for a moment, then said tentatively," It would be best if the rice is cooked. That would be the safest choice. I wonder if the Young Miss … "
Mei Niang furrowed her brows. "Everything else can be discussed. I know Mei Er's personality very well. Even if she has feelings for Niu Youde, she won't agree to do such a thing after meeting him for the first time."
Gou Yue's eyes flashed, then he smiled and said, "Then forget it. Let nature take its course. Consort, based on the Young Miss's looks, she will still be able to influence Niu Youde's final decision. I wonder if you can convince the Young Miss to take this opportunity to interact with Niu Youde alone to increase the possibility? "
