Chapter 187: The Xu Family as a Marriage
"What's up?"
After getting on the carriage, Lin Mo could still feel his face getting hot when he saw Xu Wuyan staring at him.
I couldn't help but lower my head and stare at the carriage.
Why is he staring at himself?
At this time, there were only her and Xu Wuyan in the carriage, and the housekeeper Xu Dapeng was responsible for driving the carriage.
Xu Ping'an and others had already gotten off the carriage and were walking when she got on.
Obviously, it was to make room for them to speak.
Seeing Lin Mo lowering her head and not daring to look at him, Xu Wuyan raised the corners of his mouth.
Is his wife shy?
Also, what was so good about this carriage that could make her stare at it?
Is it not good to look at yourself?
He's quite good-looking, isn't he?
Xu Wuyan shook his head, "Madam, you've almost stared holes in the carriage.
I don't mind you looking at me if you want to."
Lin Mo couldn't help but look up and glare at him.
What kind of vicious words is he saying?
Who's going to keep staring at him?
Just as she was about to speak, Xu Wuyan handed a wooden box to her.
Looking at the wooden box handed to him, Lin Mo forgot what he was about to say and frowned:
"What are you giving me this for? What's in it?"
"Dowry." Xu Wuyan chuckled.
"Madam, you were too hasty in marrying me. You should have written three letters and six engagements, but you didn't get any of them. I have treated Madam unfairly. It is my Xu family that has brought trouble upon Madam."
Having said this, Xu Wuyan paused and continued:
"I'm destined to owe Madam the three letters and six engagements, and there's no way to make up for it. But I can make up for the betrothal gifts. This betrothal gift is what I prepared for Madam.
In addition, I will have someone deliver the betrothal gifts to my mother-in-law when we arrive in Mo City."
Lin Mo, “…”
After a while, he whispered:
"Xu Wuyan, our marriage was granted by the Emperor, so it was a little hasty, but I don't feel wronged. I also used this marriage to get rid of the Shen family and even extorted money from them.
So, you don’t have to…”
"Knocking on the Shen family is Madam's ability." Xu Wuyan interrupted her:
"And the betrothal gift I gave is to prove how much my Xu family values you.
Madam, won’t you open it and take a look?”
Lin Mo didn't want to answer it, but Xu Wuyan was staring at her, as if she had to answer it or open it.
She could only reach out to take the box and open it.
Once it was opened, an ancient token lay quietly on it.
The token is made of black iron and is completely black. There are some ancient patterns carved around it. There is a word carved in the middle of the token, which looks like Xu but not like Xu.
As if seeing Lin Mo's confusion, Xu Wuyan explained:
“This character is Xu.
It is the oldest form of the character "Xu" and probably not many people recognize it now."
The oldest word?
Lin Mo was very curious, and when she picked up the token, she gently stroked the lines of the characters with her fingertips.
"What are you giving me this token for?"
After a while, Lin Mo finally asked, and at the same time she looked up at Xu Wuyan:
"This token is not simple, right?"
You can tell at a glance that this token is quite old. Something this old, placed here by Xu Wuyan, must be definitely not simple.
Xu Wuyan nodded, “Those who wanted to hunt me down before probably wanted to get it.
This token can command a cavalry unit of the Xu family.
Few people know about the existence of this cavalry, and their existence is to protect us, the Xu family."
Seeing that Lin Mo was about to return the token to him, Xu Wuyan reached out and grabbed her hand holding the token and shook his head:
"Ma'am, I know you still have doubts about me.
But I am willing to use everything in the Xu family as a betrothal gift to marry you, which represents my greatest sincerity.
The token can command the Xu family's hidden cavalry, as well as the Xu family's hidden forces.
In the other box were the deeds to all the Xu family's shops, as well as some of the farmland. The booklet at the bottom recorded some important and secret matters of the Xu family.
Madam, can I exchange my entire wealth and life for your trust?"
In fact, it was thanks to her that these properties were transferred out in advance.
Otherwise, the emperor would have benefited greatly.
Lin Mo just felt it was hot.
I couldn't help but glare at Xu Wuyan, "Are you crazy?
How could you give me all these things, what if..."
"Nothing will happen. I believe in you, Madam." Xu Wuyan interrupted her and chuckled:
"Madam, I am willing to betroth to the Xu family. I only want to grow old with you."
"You..." Lin Mo frowned. Is he a fool? Why would he give all these to himself?
Lin Mo looked up and shook his head seriously:
"This is too expensive. If you really want to give me a betrothal gift, just give me some silver and a few shops. There's no need..."
"Madam, you are worth this." Xu Wuyan interrupted her again, looking serious:
"Madam, you and I are one, and these things are meant to be handed over to you."
At this point, Xu Wuyan looked at her pitifully:
"Madam, I have given you everything. I don't have a penny left. You have to support me in the future."
Lin Mo was quite touched one second ago, but was completely defeated the next second.
Is he here to be funny?
Even if he knows that you won’t accept it, he will still find a way to make you accept it.
Shaking his head, "Leave that thing here with me first, come and ask me for it when you need it.
Don't worry, I won't let you starve."
After saying that, he put the tokens into the box and shook his head. "I feel a lot of pressure when you give me these. What if I lose them?"
Then, he handed it back to Xu Wuyan:
"I'd better give this to you for safekeeping. I'm afraid I might lose it myself."
After a pause, he continued, "Xu Wuyan, I have never doubted your sincerity, really."
She knew what the man meant.
He is using his own method to make himself believe in him.
This fool.
In fact, he really didn't need to do this, she always believed in him.
It's just that at the beginning he misunderstood that Murong was his true love.
And she herself was divorced, so she felt that she was not worthy of him.
Besides, if she was with him because of her status, he would be laughed at. She just had too many things to consider.
Now, I know that there was a misunderstanding between him and Murong.
And he was so good to her, how could she bear to push him away?
If he doesn't abandon me, I won't leave him.
Not to mention in the previous life...
He once warmed himself.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo's eyes softened.
"Xu Wuyan." Lin Mo raised his head, his expression serious and earnest:
"If you don't abandon me in this life, I will follow you through life and death."
Xu Wuyan was ecstatic.
Then he looked at her seriously, "Madam, hold one person's hand and grow old together without abandoning each other. I only wish to have one person's heart and never be separated from him until we grow old together."
Madam, I will never let you down in this life."
His eyes fell on the box in her hand and he shook his head.
"Madam, I give it to you. It's yours. Just keep it. I trust you.
It doesn't matter if it's missing, Madam, don't worry too much."
Lin Mo didn't recommend it anymore and put it away.
She can just throw the space when the time comes.
Throw it into space and no one can steal it.
No wonder the Xu family is being targeted by people, it turns out they have quite a strong background.
There is also a cavalry unit, probably the elite ones. Prince Luo has set his sights on him, probably because he knows about the Xu family's cavalry.
Thinking of King Luo, Lin Mo raised his eyebrows:
"King Luo is dead."
"I know." Xu Wuyan nodded, his lips curled slightly:
"But you'll never guess who killed him."
"Isn't he a killer?" Lin Mo was curious:
"Murong said that an assassin broke into Prince Luo's mansion and chopped off his head while he was sleeping."
Think about King Luo, what an arrogant man he is.
But he didn't expect that he would end up with his body torn apart.
It's quite miserable.
"It's true that the killer chopped off his head." Xu Wuyan chuckled, and then a mocking look appeared on his face:
“But when his head was chopped off, he had already been strangled to death.
And the person who strangled him to death was none other than his good son, Li Zhanli."
Lin Mo's eyes widened immediately after hearing this.
I'll go.
Prince Luo actually died at the hands of his own son. How aggrieved he must have been.
I'm afraid he will die with regrets.
Li Zhanli is indeed a good eldest son. He killed his father to seize the throne. He is cruel enough.
Xu Wuyan did not hide it from him. He lowered his voice and told her everything.
Lin Mo shook his head, "This Li Zhanli is also a ruthless person.
But Princess Luo was no pushover either. After all, they had shared the same bed for over twenty years, and she couldn't bear to see Prince Luo suffer such a dismembered death.
Lin Mo sighed, but soon became worried again:
"King Luo is dead. If that madman Li Zhanli inherits his father's legacy and becomes the new King Luo, will he send someone to deal with us?"
King Luo had great ambitions and just asked someone to take them back.
If this madman Li Zhanli said that, I'm afraid someone would come and take their lives.
"He doesn't have the time." Xu Wuyan shook his head.
"I had someone do something, and he's busy fighting his brothers now, so he has no energy to care about us."
Xu Wuyan was never a good person.
He would not be kind enough to tell the people in the Prince Luo's Mansion the real cause of death of Prince Luo Li Zhengyu.
But he could tell them some other things, so that the people in Luo Wangfu would fight among themselves and have no time to take care of them. He could still do it.
"You can find out this kind of information. You have people in Prince Luo's Mansion." Lin Mo was very sure.
Moreover, she felt that this person had a very high status in the Prince Luo's Mansion.
Xu Wuyan nodded, "Madam is right.
My father knew that Prince Luo was a vindictive man, so he had people around him early on. He..."
At this moment, a noise in the distance interrupted his words.
Xu Wuyan frowned immediately, with an unhappy look on his face.
Who interrupted his conversation with his wife?
Xu Wuyan looked out of the carriage with gloomy eyes.
He wants to kill someone, what should I do?
