After Li Xiaogong stopped laughing, Wang Shi said, "Husband, why are you laughing? You're still laughing at this time. In my opinion, Erlang is young and impetuous. Moreover, he doesn't care about my reputation at all. He's just a shopkeeper. Is there a need to make such a big fuss and humiliate Wang Yue? "
Li Xiaogong glanced at Wang Shi and said, "You're just a woman. Your hair is long and your knowledge is short."
Wang Shi frowned.
Li Xiaogong said, "I'm laughing because Du Qi is indeed my son-in-law. This kind of courage, this kind of decisiveness, really makes this king like it! "
Wang Shi was even more confused. How was this courageous?
She didn't see any decisiveness.
She didn't see any bravery either.
Wang Shi only felt that Du Qi was reckless and impulsive. He was also petty. He was just a shopkeeper.
He was too self-righteous.
Wang Shi said in a deep voice, "Husband, in my opinion, Du Qi is not a good match for Yanyun. I chose Du Qi because Du Qi returned from the Turkic Khaganate and made great contributions. Therefore, I chose Du Qi. But now, it seems that Du Qi is just so-so. Anyway, it's just an engagement. Let's just settle this marriage. "
Li Xiaogong's eyes gradually sharpened. The sharp light fell on Wang Shi as if it was going to pierce her heart. Wang Shi couldn't help but shiver.
Then, Li Xiaogong said indifferently, "I don't want you to say this again."
"Yes!"
Wang Shi replied immediately.
She could see that something was wrong with Li Xiaogong. As Li Xiaogong's servant, Wang Shi knew Li Xiaogong very well. He was an extremely strong man who would do what he said.
Once Li Xiaogong decided on something, it was impossible to change it.
Li Xiaogong said in a deep voice, "Du Qi is a man of courage. Even if he doesn't become a minister in the future, he will be extraordinary. It's Yanyun's fortune to be married to such a man. "
"I don't want you to talk about breaking off the engagement again. What's more, I don't know what's wrong with you about Wang Yue's matter today. You actually let Du Qi arrange it. "
"Wang Yue is a member of the Wang Family. If Wang Yue wants to work for Du Qi, he can just ask the Wang Family for help. Why would he ask you? You're even more foolish. Normally, you're smart. Why did they make such a mistake? "
Li Xiaogong said, "What kind of person is Du Qi? Look carefully at his businesses. All of his businesses are owned by outsiders. Even the people of the Du family have not entered. Why should the people of the Wang family enter through connections?"
"Wang Yue will definitely play some tricks to send such a person in."
"Besides, don't you know what kind of person your brother Wang Yue is? As far as this Prince knows, Wang Yue is an unscrupulous and greedy person. He doesn't have the slightest ability. "
"You must have been kicked in the head by a donkey to let such a person be the shopkeeper. You only think about your brother, but have you ever thought about your daughter? "
These harsh words came out of Li Xiaogong's mouth.
Tears welled up in Wang Shi's eyes and trickled down her cheeks.
She felt so wronged.
One had to know that Li Xiaogong had always doted on her. Today, Li Xiaogong was unprecedentedly strict. In fact, in this era, marriage was about obedience to the husband. Since she married Li Xiaogong, she was a member of the Li Family. Naturally, she was no longer a member of the Wang Family.
That was why Li Xiaogong said to her.
Wang Shi thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense. But at that time, she thought that Wang Yue was her brother, so she wanted to make some arrangements and didn't think much about it.
Li Xiaogong saw Wang Shi crying and said, "What are you crying for? You're kind to Wang Yue. But if Du Qi has any ideas and affects Yanyun, you'll be crying. "
Wang Shi stopped crying.
She was also a little flustered. When Wang Shi came to find Li Xiaogong, she was full of resentment. She thought that Du Qi was not respectful enough to her. But after Li Xiaogong's words, Wang Shi was a little flustered.
Her daughter could indeed break off the engagement.
But if the news spread, how could Li Yanyun face others? It was extremely unfair to Li Yanyun and also extremely inappropriate.
Moreover, Du Qi was not a simple person.
Wang Shi said, "Husband, what should we do?"
Li Xiaogong said, "What else can we do? Naturally, we'll pay the Du Family a visit and talk to Du Qi. Once this matter is out in the open, it won't be a big deal. But now, you've caused trouble for Du Qi. "
"When Wang Yue returns to the Wang Family, he'll definitely spread the news that Du Qi is arrogant and even frame Du Qi for looking down on people with different surnames. After this series of news spreads, Du Qi will be targeted by many people. "
"Especially the Wang Family. They might even come to find him personally."
Li Xiaogong said, "In short, the situation is not good."
Wang Shi was even more flustered.
She was a little anxious.
At this moment, Wang Shi was thinking about what happened earlier. Especially when Du Qi asked her to deal with Wang Yue's matter. But in the end, Wang Shi sided with Wang Yue.
Li Xiaogong looked at Wang Shi, who had a complicated expression and was extremely nervous, and said, "Let's go. You don't have to be so worried. This matter is not a big deal. In short, Du Qi is not so narrow-minded. After arriving at the Du Family, go to the Jeong Family and apologize to the Jeong Family. Leave Du Qi to me. "
"Yes!"
Wang Shi nodded and replied.
At this point, Wang Shi could only do according to Li Xiaogong's arrangement. After all, it involved her daughter.
Li Xiaogong looked at Wang Shi, who was still a little distracted, but shook his head and chuckled. It was impossible to say that his wife was stupid. The problem was that Wang Shi's initial idea was to arrange for Wang Yue to show off her son-in-law to the Wang Family, which was equivalent to showing off. She did not expect that in the end, it would be self-defeating.
This led to the current situation.
Although the wind and snow were getting heavier and the sky was completely dark, Li Xiaogong did not feel cold when he left the house. He and Wang Shi took a carriage to the Du Family.
When the carriage stopped at the gate of the Du Family, an attendant went to knock on the door.
Not long after, the door opened.
The gatekeeper took the nameplate and heard the attendant explain Li Xiaogong's intentions. The gatekeeper didn't dare delay and hurriedly invited them into the main hall. After all, they were the parents-in-law of the second young master of the manor and the current King of Zhao.
No one could ignore such a situation. The gatekeeper settled Li Xiaogong and his wife in the main hall and quickly went to report.
Not long after, Du Qi arrived.
However, Du Qi was still handling government affairs in the Duke of Qin's Mansion. Only Du Qi and the Jeong Family came.
After the two sides met, the Jeong Family led Wang Shi to the backyard. Li Xiaogong and Du Qi took their seats in the hall. At this time, whether it was Li Xiaogong or Du Qi, they were both dressed formally and did not wear down jackets.
There were charcoal basins in front of them.
They were used to dispel the chill.
Du Qi said, "King Zhao, did you come here in the middle of the night because of Wang Yue?"
"Yes!"
Li Xiaogong nodded and replied.
Du Qi said, "Then what is King Zhao's attitude? Is King Zhao going to avenge the princess consort and Wang Yue? Or is he going to be a peacemaker and resolve this matter by reducing it to a small one? "
