Chapter 138 If someone gets there first, our family will suffer a great loss
Ye Zhenghai drank another glass of wine: "It's not hard to guess what the old lady is thinking. If I weren't my father's legitimate son, the inheritance of the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion would never have been mine.
The old lady used you to drive me away. In the capital, the title of Pingyang Marquis Mansion still belongs to her and her two sons, and has nothing to do with us.
Even if I inherit the title of Marquis, who would remember me as the Marquis in Liang County?"
After hearing such sad and helpless words, Chen Xiangxiu covered her face and cried silently. When she was young, she fell in love with Ye Zhenghai, and Ye Zhenghai also liked her at that time, and the two secretly decided to spend their lives together.
The old lady disagreed, and Ye Zhenghai begged hard. Later, the old lady proposed a harsh method: Ye Zhenghai could marry Chen Xiangxiu, but he could not go back to Pingyang Marquis Mansion in the capital, and could only live in Liangjun City.
These things were not known to outsiders. No one understood what humiliating conditions Ye Zhenghai agreed to when he married her, not even Chen Xiangxiu.
It was not until Aunt Xu came and gave birth to her daughter Tingyu that she accidentally let the secret slip and she finally understood the truth.
Chen Xiangxiu was so frightened that she couldn't speak for a long time. Xu also told her that the old lady kept her in Kyoto to give birth, on the one hand to gain a good reputation, and on the other hand to better control Ye Zhenghai.
Later, Ye Zhenghai went back to pick her up, with the only condition being that his son be left in the capital to be raised by the old lady. The purpose of doing so was to alienate the mother-son and father-son relationships.
It would also be a good idea to control the prince through marriage, so that the future wealth and glory cannot be left out of them, and certainly not enjoyed by one family alone.
To be honest, Chen Xiangxiu couldn't believe what she heard. She knew that the old lady didn't like her and was torturing her, but she didn't expect there was so much deeper meaning behind it.
Fortunately, she did not live in the Pingyang Marquis Mansion in the capital, otherwise she would have been tortured to death by the old lady long ago.
The old lady arranged a marriage for her son, but Chen Xiangxiu could see that her son didn't like it and didn't care much about the marriage. Later, she broke off the engagement, but she felt relieved, thinking that the old lady in the capital had finally suffered a setback.
Even so, she didn't want her son to marry a woman who was not of the same social status as him. How would he face the old lady in the future?
The battle at Pingyang Marquis' Mansion will come sooner or later. She believes that she is no match for the old lady or the two sisters-in-law. She must marry a more powerful daughter-in-law to suppress them.
Miss Du's medical skills are great, but when it comes to the secrets of the harem, she may not be as good as the noble ladies trained by the wealthy families in Beijing. Their methods and schemes are all lessons accumulated over generations, bloody and bloody, how could ordinary people have seen them?
"Brother Hai! It was me who delayed you back then!" Chen Xiangxiu lay on the table, crying non-stop, "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have agreed to the old lady's insulting conditions.
The old lady is really cruel! She didn't even ask us to go back when Zhongyuan got married. The battle between me and her will come sooner or later. I'm afraid Miss Du can't be my helper."
"Xiu'er! You are wrong! Only Miss Du can control the old lady." Ye Zhenghai reached out and patted Chen Xiangxiu's shoulder, "Don't cry! Listen to me. Miss Du is a very good doctor. Once Yan Hong's illness is cured, the emperor will definitely know.
We can't even hide Miss Du from you. A doctor of her level is a miracle doctor. Who would dare to offend her so easily in the capital? Even if the old lady wants to control her, she has to think twice. "
Slowly raising her head, Chen Xiangxiu wiped the tears from her face with her sleeves, and after thinking for a while, she felt that what Ye Zhenghai said was right. As long as Du Wanwan's reputation spread to Kyoto, most people would not make things difficult for her.
Who doesn't fear death? Especially those rich and powerful people in Beijing, who fear death more than anyone else. To be able to meet a miracle doctor is like having an extra life. Who would be so stupid as to offend Miss Du?
"The second and third branches have average talents and have not made any achievements in recent years." Ye Zhenghai took out a handkerchief and wiped Chen Xiangxiu's tears, "We have been guarding Liangjun City and have not achieved anything. We just hope not to make any achievements but to avoid mistakes and live a stable life.
This time, even if Liang County City is not the first line of defense, it will be involved in the war. Miss Du was afraid that the county city would be lost, so she donated the repeating crossbow she had researched to Zhong Yuan. "
"Ah?" Chen Xiangxiu felt that his brain was not enough. "Isn't Miss Du a doctor? How come she is also researching crossbows?"
"Smart people know everything. Only people like us who are not smart enough find it strange." Ye Zhenghai said teasingly with a happy smile on his face. "Miss Du means that she can give the crossbow, but she doesn't want the credit. She can only give it to the Ye family."
"What?" Chen Xiangxiu was shocked again, "Why is Miss Du so stupid? Why doesn't she want credit? Then what does she want? The position of the Crown Prince's Consort?"
"No, you guessed wrong." Ye Zhenghai glanced at his wife meaningfully and said meaningfully, "Perhaps in Miss Du's eyes, the position of the Crown Prince's Consort is not worth mentioning at all. What she wants is a safe and worry-free Liangjun City. She doesn't want to drag her family to escape famine again."
"Ah? Hiss!"
Chen Xiangxiu was completely conquered by Du Wanwan's request, and a look of admiration appeared in his eyes.
Capable people really don’t care about the position of the women in the backyard. What they care about is whether their abilities can be fully utilized and whether they can help those who need help.
The automatic crossbow was such a powerful weapon. If it was widely used in the military camp, it would surely defeat the hateful and greedy enemy.
Seeing that his wife was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time, Ye Zhenghai was very proud in his heart and inadvertently dropped another bombshell.
"Miss Du suggested that Zhong Yuan form a commando team to use the power of the crossbow to sneak attack the Qiezi army everywhere, so that they can't figure out how many such weapons our people have."
Chen Xiangxiu, who had been shocked to death, was no longer as shocked as before. Instead, he calmly picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it in one gulp.
"My dear! This Miss Du is not only a doctor, but also a rare craftsman!" Chen Xiangxiu really admired her talent. "If that's the case, Zhongyuan has found a treasure by marrying her."
“That’s not true.” Ye Zhenghai asked Chen Xiangxiu to bow down and whispered in her ear in a low voice, “Miss Du has prepared a very magical water that can quickly improve the internal strength of martial artists and can also remove Shen Nian’s old injuries.
I tried it, it really works, after drinking it for a few days, the pain in my legs was basically gone. Xiu'er! Such a great Miss Du is hard to come by. You have to remember, it's not that Miss Du is not worthy of our Zhongyuan, it's that Zhongyuan is not worthy of her.
Even though she is a refugee, if people in the capital find out about her, what will happen to our son? You must urge Zhong Yuan to find a way to capture Miss Du. If someone gets there first, our family will suffer a great loss. "
