Chapter 405 No One Can Stop It
Lord Wang was almost mad. What else did he not understand? Zhao Hao did it on purpose!
He deliberately said this in front of Li Dajian.
Lord Wang knew exactly what answer Zhao Hao wanted. He smiled at Zhao Hao and said, "Lord Zhao, don't blame yourself. This is just a misunderstanding."
"I just heard that Yushu ran away from home, and I was worried that she might be in danger as a girl outside, so I asked Ciming to bring Yushu back. I guess Ciming misunderstood what I meant."
The eldest son of the Wang family, Wang Ciming.
"I am not responsible for the assessment of female officials. How would I know that Yushu went to take the assessment?" Lord Wang said.
Zhao Hao lowered his eyes. He had thought about this as well, and soon came up with the answer.
Perhaps someone mentioned it to Lord Wang, and it must have been mentioned last night, so the Wang family was not seen outside the Examination Hall yesterday, but appeared early this morning.
Zhao Hao raised his eyes, looking relieved, and patted his chest repeatedly, saying, "Master Wang, I'm glad you don't blame me. I was scared to death by you, Brother Wang, and I was afraid you would blame me."
"Lord Wang, this is all my fault. When you finish the language test and go home, please don't blame her."
Zhao Hao said this again. After the exams in three days, Wang Yushu will not return to the Wang family, but will stay in the inn to take the third exam.
Lord Wang narrowed his eyes slightly. He was very dissatisfied with Zhao Hao in his heart, but he did not show it on his face.
She only said lovingly: "I fully support Yushu's participation in the female official examination. The family should also prepare something for her. Three days later..."
"Master Wang, please leave it to me." Zhao Hao said, "I will pick it up at your house when the time comes, so don't bother Yushu."
"I have also participated in the imperial examinations. I am extremely tired. Let Yushu have a good rest."
After hearing what Zhao Hao said to this extent, Lord Wang had nothing to say. Besides, it seemed that he, as a father, did not care about his children at all.
"No need to trouble Lord Zhao. Yushu is my daughter, Wang. I will ask Ciming to deliver her to her when the time comes."
After Lord Wang finished speaking, he turned and left without waiting for Zhao Hao to say anything else.
His attitude has been expressed clearly enough. If he continues talking to Zhao Hao, he is afraid he will be angry to death!
As soon as he turned around, Lord Wang's expression became extremely ugly.
What a waste!
He only gave Wang Ciming such a small task, but he couldn't do it well. He didn't even send any news in advance, but let Zhao Hao block him outside the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.
Now that the matter has been cleared by the Emperor and Empress, if Wang Yushu encounters any accident again... I'm afraid the Emperor and Empress will be the first to suspect him!
Zhao Hao stood outside the Yangxin Palace with his arms in his sleeves, watching Lord Wang disappear with a slightly complicated expression on his face.
Of course the Emperor and Empress knew about it, but there was no need for Li Dajian to repeat it, as he had just mentioned it.
That's why Li Dajian was so "untactful" as to not leave.
"If the Second Miss knew that Lord Zhao was so thoughtful, she would definitely be very moved." Li Dajian knew the whole story and said to Zhao Hao with a smile.
Zhao Hao shook his head and said, "There's not much I can do."
Although he knew that in front of the Wang family, if he pushed everything onto Wang Yushu, the end result would be the same as if he took on all the responsibilities himself.
But he did it anyway.
Even though Yu Shu might not know, he couldn't and didn't want to betray Yu Shu.
Zhao Hao retracted his gaze and said to Li Dajian, "I'm sorry to trouble you with today's matter."
Li Dajian is already very old, and recently he has been training a godson and recommending him to the emperor.
Now he has a say in the emperor's presence, but there will always be a day when he will step down, so naturally he is willing to be kind to others.
He smiled and said, "You are welcome, Lord Zhao."
After Li Dajian saw Zhao Hao off, he returned to the Yangxin Palace to report.
He told the emperor and empress everything that had just happened. Xiao Ji said, "Lord Zhao can now take charge of his own affairs."
Xie Yao also laughed, "He has indeed grown up. I'm just afraid that Lord Wang will be mad to death."
Lord Wang was indeed so angry that he was about to die, and he became angrier and angrier after leaving the Yangxin Palace. His rebellious son was incompetent and caused him to be blocked by Zhao Hao in the Yangxin Palace and do this.
Now that Wang Yushu has passed the emperor and empress's eyes, if anything happens to Wang Yushu, I'm afraid the emperor and empress will suspect him.
But if he does nothing, he can't explain...
When Lord Wang returned to the Wang family, the first thing he did was to call Wang Ciming over.
Wang Ciming was not too worried. After all, Zhao Hao said that he would tell his father.
But as soon as he entered the door, Lord Wang raised his hand and smashed -
Wang Ciming moved quickly and dodged the tea bowl thrown by Lord Wang. He was startled and asked anxiously, "Father, you...what's wrong?"
"Rebellious son!" Lord Wang glared at Wang Ciming, "How dare you ask? Don't you see what stupid things you have done?"
"You can't even do such a trivial thing as bringing Wang Yushu back to me. What's the point of having you? You're useless!"
In the past, Lord Wang would give Wang Ciming some face. After all, he was his chosen heir and the future head of the Wang family.
But lately his tolerance has been running low.
Wang Ciming's heart skipped a beat and he immediately knelt down to admit his mistake, while cursing Zhao Hao in his heart.
Didn’t Zhao Hao promise to explain to his father?
"Father, I met Zhao Hao this morning. It was all Zhao Hao's fault for stopping us. He also said that everything was his idea and that he seduced Wang Yushu..."
Lord Wang looked at Wang Ciming's stupidity and felt his head go dark. He was too weak to say anything.
He has been raising this son since he was young, so how come he has become so stupid?
Lord Wang took a deep breath and said, "Get out!"
Wang Ciming was really frightened. He didn't dare to stay any longer and turned around and left.
Lord Wang raised his hand and pinched his brows, then said to his confidant outside the door: "Go and call Ci Yuan over."
Wang Ciyuan, the illegitimate son of the second wife, his nephew.
Wang Ciyuan came very quickly. He clasped his fists and saluted, "Nephew pays respects to uncle."
Lord Wang's anger had been suppressed at this moment. He smiled warmly at Wang Ciyuan, "Ciyuan is here, sit down."
"Thank you, uncle." Wang Ciyuan was extremely respectful and sat down obediently on the chair.
Lord Wang asked, "What has Ci Yuan been doing lately?"
"In reply to my uncle, I have been reading books recently." The Wang family is a noble family, and Wang Ciming is an official by inheritance. However, there is only one quota for inheritance, and as a child of the second wife, he can only work hard to pass the exam if he wants to become an official.
Last year in Encore, he was not selected.
“Ci Yuan, you should know that the Wang family, as an aristocratic family, has been feared and weakened since the time of the previous emperor.”
"It is even more so now." Lord Wang said in a heavy voice, "Your literary talent is well known to your uncle. Your failure to pass the imperial examination last year... has nothing to do with you."
Wang Ciyuan suddenly raised his eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and looked at Lord Wang in disbelief, "Uncle means..."
"You are the victim of the art of balancing power." Lord Wang sighed softly and said it more clearly.
Wang Ciyuan pursed his lips, his face looked extremely ugly, and he looked very unwilling.
Lord Wang changed the subject and said, "Recently, Ci Ming's work has repeatedly disappointed me. His political work is also average. Alas... Ci Yuan, I had high hopes for you. But now..."
Lord Wang kept the secret a secret, so Wang Ciyuan immediately asked, "Uncle, please help me solve this puzzle."
"I received news today that Wang Yushu secretly went to take the female official assessment."
"You also know that the Empress is already dissatisfied with the Wang family. If she passes the exam again this time, I'm afraid you, Ci Yuan, will never be able to make a name for yourself in the future."
After Lord Wang said these words, he successfully saw that Wang Ciyuan's face looked extremely ugly.
The corners of his lips slightly raised, and he said: "If you can bring Wang Yushu out, your uncle will be able to help you and let you enter the court."
Wang Ciyuan didn't rush to speak.
Lord Wang waited for a while, frowned and said, "Forget it, Ci Yuan, if you don't want such an opportunity, your uncle won't force you."
"Even if the Wang family is being targeted, it is still a noble family. It is not a problem for them to support a wealthy idler like you."
"Go out."
Wang Ciyuan seemed to have finally reacted, and immediately said, "Uncle, I will definitely take care of this matter!"
Lord Wang smiled, raised his hand and patted Wang Ciyuan on the shoulder, "Ciyuan, uncle trusts you, please don't let uncle down."
Wang Ciyuan agreed again and then slowly left Lord Wang’s study.
But as soon as he walked out of the door, Wang Ciyuan's expression changed, and a hint of sneer flashed in his eyes.
His uncle really treated him as a fool.
What I just said was full of loopholes. Did you think he was like that idiot Wang Ciming and couldn't hear them?
He does have some talent, but last year in the exam he had diarrhea for three days and nearly died in the examination room.
How could the answer he wrote under such circumstances be selected?
As for who did this to him, he already knew it now. He didn't believe that Lord Wang didn't know about it and deliberately said these words to him...
It's nothing more than treating him as a knife.
The Empress was present in person at the examination for female officials, which showed the Emperor and Empress were very concerned about the matter. If something really happened to Wang Yushu as a candidate, and it was found out that he was the one responsible, he would be truly ruined.
"Second Young Master."
The servant's voice sounded, "Madam, please come over."
Wang Ciyuan restrained his expression and replied respectfully. Although he was born out of wedlock, he was raised under the name of the second wife.
Because the second wife of the Wang family has no legitimate son.
Wang Ciyuan suppressed his emotions and turned to walk towards where the second wife was.
…
Wang Ciming was scolded by Lord Wang, and he became angrier and angrier. When he heard that Lord Wang had looked for Wang Ciyuan after he left, he became even angrier.
He originally wanted to ask his father for help with something, but now his father was angry, and he was angry at him. Even if he was given ten thousand courages, he would not dare to go to his father now.
Just when he was getting annoyed, he heard the voice of a servant outside, "Master, the second master is here."
Wang Ciyuan?
Do you still have the nerve to come to him?
Wang Ciming said: "No!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure appeared at the door. It was Wang Ciyuan. He stepped in, looked at Wang Ciming and said, "Brother, I'm here to help you solve your problems."
That day, when Zhao Hao was off duty, Wang Ciming appeared on his way home.
Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment, then politely invited Wang Ciming to the restaurant and set up a table for dinner.
Facing Wang Ciming's questioning, Zhao Hao said sincerely: "Brother Wang, believe me, I really told Lord Wang."
"I also said, Lord Wang, please don't blame Brother Wang, it's all my fault. Eunuch Li was there at the time, if Brother Wang doesn't believe me, you can go ask Eunuch Li."
Wang Ciming snorted softly.
Supervisor Li?
Is that something he can ask whenever he wants?
Zhao Hao muttered, "You have caused me so much trouble. My father scolded me so much..."
"I offer a toast to Brother Wang." Zhao Hao picked up the wine and drank it all, saying, "This is all my fault."
Wang Ciming was flattered by Zhao Hao, and felt a little flattered. Who was Zhao Hao? He was now a favorite of the emperor, the cousin of the queen, and half the emperor's uncle. How noble was his status?
But being so humble in front of him, this feeling... is great.
Wang Ciming smiled and said, "Brother Hao, since you said that, how can I, as your elder brother, argue with you? Sooner or later, we will be a family. I am relieved to leave Yushu to you."
"But I have something here, you have to help me..."
Zhao Hao patted his chest and said, "Brother, if you have any problem, just tell me. As long as I can help, I will definitely help."
Zhao Hao didn't take it seriously at first. Wang Ciming's official position was not high, so what important matter could he need his help with?
He doesn't think so.
But the more Zhao Hao listened to Wang Ciming, the more he felt that this matter was unusual. His facial expression remained unchanged, but anger was already burning in his heart.
If he understood correctly... Wang Ciming was asking him to clean up the mess that Wang Ciming had committed?
He raised his head and glanced at Wang Ciming with a strange look in his eyes, and even felt a bit inappropriately moved in his heart.
The fact that Wang Ciming could even tell him these things showed that he really regarded him as his own.
But unfortunately, he was destined to disappoint Wang Ciming.
He couldn't help Wang Ciming with the favor he was asking for. He wouldn't do anything that violated the law or discipline.
Of course, Zhao Hao didn't show it on the surface.
After Wang Ciming finished speaking, he saw that Zhao Hao did not respond. He felt a little uneasy and immediately put his arm around Zhao Hao's shoulders. "Brother Hao, I'm telling you this because I treat you as my own. You can't sell me out."
"Yushu is my sister, so we are a family, right?" Wang Ciming said, and took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve and stuffed it into Zhao Hao's hand.
Wang Ciyuan was so close to him, so Zhao Hao naturally had to show some appreciation. He addressed him in a more intimate way, "Brother, don't be like this. I will definitely help you with your matter, but this is not necessary."
After Zhao Hao said this, Wang Ciming immediately felt relieved. As long as Zhao Hao was willing to help, that was good.
Although he felt sad about giving away the money, it was the first time after all and there was no basis for cooperation between them. He would feel at ease only when Zhao Hao took the money.
Once they receive the money, they are in the same boat.
“Brother Hao,” Wang Ciming advised, “Take it. We have a long way to go in the future.”
Zhao Hao smiled. He took the banknote and put it into his sleeve. "Brother, don't worry. Leave this to me."
Wang Ciming smiled brilliantly.
Zhao Hao accepted the banknote, and everything was settled. He immediately raised his glass and said, "Come on, let's drink. Today, we won't leave until we are drunk!"
Zhao Hao and Wang Ciming drank until the moon was at its highest point in the sky. When they left the restaurant, they were both supported.
The difference is that Zhao Hao regained consciousness after getting on the carriage.
He took out the silver bills from his sleeve and counted them in the dim light in the carriage.
