Chapter 129: Refusing to Give Up

The two people who got into trouble today were both related to Zhu Xuntao, and Zhu Dingxing had to think about it.

Zhu Dingxing, who had already had some suspicions in his heart, was worried that he would be the next person to be reported.

Fortunately, in the court, except for the cold eyes of his son-in-law Xiao Jingzhan,

no one reported him, and the emperor did not punish him.

After leaving the court, Zhu Dingxing breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the fine cold sweat on his forehead, and was glad that he had escaped.

But think about it, his situation is different from that of Wei Shoufu and Zhao Shangshu, so they cannot be compared.

He is Zhu Xuntao's biological father. What is there about Zhu Xuntao that even he, the father, cannot know?

However, Zhu Dingxing didn't know that he was too happy too early.

When he returned to Zhu Mansion, he had just sat down and hadn't even had time to catch his breath when the gatekeeper reported that the prince had sent someone to deliver something to Zhu Dingxing.

Zhu Dingxing tensed up and said, "Hurry up and invite the prince's people in."

The gatekeeper said,

"After the prince's people handed this thing to me, they didn't give me a chance to keep them, and they turned around and rode away on their horses."

He wanted to invite the people to the mansion, but they didn't mean to come in.

The gatekeeper felt that when the person left, he looked at Zhu Mansion with a look of disdain.

So, this is also what the prince thinks of their Zhu Mansion?

The gatekeeper, who had this guess, shut up wisely and didn't dare to say anything.

"Okay, you can go down."

Just leave, it's not the prince himself, just a guard who delivered the message, it's nothing.

Zhu Dingxing opened the things sent by the prince and took a look. His legs went limp and he sat paralyzed on the chair.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Butler Wang was shocked by Zhu Dingxing's reaction.

Since a prince's wife appeared in the mansion, the master's face has been getting better day by day. What happened today?

"Mistaken me, misled me, you are misleading me, you all want to destroy me."

Zhu Dingxing was holding an imperial decree in his hand, which meant that after the glass business was completed, Zhu Dingxing would be given a position and

allowed to participate in it.

This was equivalent to letting Zhu Dingxing pick up a credit for nothing.

For whose sake, there is no doubt.

Because Zhu Xuntao told the prince that Zhu Dingxing was not suitable for being an official and did not want Zhu Dingxing to be promoted.

Therefore, the emperor and the prince meant that

they did not mind letting Zhu Dingxing get in the limelight this time.

When it comes to rewarding according to merit, Zhu Dingxing can forget about the real position and power.

But some other empty things, such as gold, silver and jewelry, or asking for the imperial decree for Zhu Dingxing's biological mother, Madam Qi, are all fine.

In this way, Zhu Dingxing has already won by relying on his daughter Zhu Xuntao and has taken advantage of everything.

Zhu Dingxing has gotten enough.

The emperor did not expect that in order to give face to Zhu Xuntao,

he was generous to his ministers for once, but was ruined by Zhu Dingxing himself, which made him save a lot of money.

The emperor did not like Zhu Dingxing, a minister who was troublesome and made him worry.

Now he can save money, which is better.

He has many talents who can do practical work, but they are suppressed by people like Wei Shoufu and have no chance to succeed.

Zhu Dingxing asked for death, and a position can be vacated for people who can really do the job.

Zhu Dingxing worked hard for half his life, and it was not until today that he had such a good opportunity because of Zhu Xuntao

. How could he not understand the twists and turns of just one decree?

Even if he was not satisfied, he felt that what he got was not enough and not satisfactory enough.

It's better than nothing.

After being rejected by Zhu Xuntao yesterday, Zhu Dingxing was worried that he would not be able to explain to Chief Minister Wei, and he might even be bullied by Chief Minister Wei.

Today he found out that he almost got on Zhu Xuntao's ship, how could Zhu Dingxing not feel regretful. It

turns out that Zhu Xuntao remembered him as a father and had planned for him long ago.

If Zhu Xuntao had told him about this earlier, he would not have troubled Zhu Xuntao.

So does Zhu Xuntao have no mouth?

She made the glass and didn't tell him.

She had clearly arranged a way out for him, but kept it a secret and ruined his future.

It's really...

Zhu Dingxing felt a sweet and fishy taste in his throat, he didn't even dare to think about what kind of image he had in front of the emperor now.

The more Zhu Xuntao wins the emperor's favor, the more his stupid behavior yesterday is equivalent to discrediting himself in front of the emperor.

Really...

is it so difficult to make your words clear with a big mouth? !

Even if Zhu Xuntao's arrangements are not enough and fail to meet his requirements.

But as long as Zhu Xuntao makes it clear that she has made arrangements, they will have plenty of opportunities in the future, and

he will achieve what he wants sooner or later.

Then, won't there be any misunderstandings between them?

Zhu Dingxing ran to find Madam Sun in anger:

"Sun, how did you teach Zhu Xuntao? You taught her to be dumb. She didn't tell me anything?!"

If Zhu Xuntao didn't learn her lesson, it must be Sun's fault. Sun doesn't know how to teach her children!

After being scolded and blamed for no apparent reason, Mrs. Sun certainly refused to admit defeat:

"Master, you may have forgotten that you once praised Zhu Xuntao in front of everyone."

"You said that Zhu Xuntao is not smart, but she has one advantage: she is exceptionally quiet."

"A woman should be so dignified to appear noble."

This was the only advantage of Zhu Xuntao that Zhu Dingxing had recognized and praised.

At that time, he also said that he taught well, even a child like Zhu Xuntao who was not likable had merits that could be praised.

This was also due to the good teaching of their Zhu family.

Why did he suddenly come to get angry at her today?

"Did Zhu Xuntao do something wrong again to make you angry?"

After saying that, Madam Sun sneered.

Zhu Xuntao was already the Crown Prince's Consort, and she felt that she had grown wings. She did not take her as a mother seriously, and naturally looked down on Zhu Dingxing as a father.

After all, the couple should be the same kind of people to Zhu Xuntao.

"No, it was indeed wrong. I missed a great opportunity!"

Zhu Dingxing was so angry that he slammed the table.

"I ask you, you have to answer honestly."

"How much silver did you give to Zhu Xuntao before she got married?"

Mrs. Sun shook her head: "No."

Her dowry was to be kept for Yan'er, so she didn't give Zhu Xuntao even a penny.

"...Really, nothing at all?"

Zhu Dingxing didn't give up. If he didn't give so much silver, and Mrs. Sun didn't give it either, where did Zhu Xuntao get it from? This doesn't make sense?

Unless Zhu Xuntao was a third hand and committed the crime of theft.

If so, he would have to investigate it carefully and use it to prevent the glass incident from happening again.

Zhu Dingxing has always been worried that he and Zhu Xuntao have too little affection, and he has no handle on Zhu Xuntao.

If his guess just now comes true, then he will have a way to make Zhuxuntao behave himself in the future.
