Upon hearing Park Yoo-hee's name, Zhao Cheng's mind went blank for a moment, thinking to himself, "Zhao Huan just grabs anyone he can get his hands on!"
Seeing Park Moo-di reminds me of his sister?
Zhao Huan said, "Old Pu and I are sworn brothers. Back in Changsui, our families often visited each other. You've been close to Wudi since you were little, but you don't know that Old Pu and I were planning to arrange a marriage between our families, and you were to marry Youxi when you grew up. Later, I was transferred to Yanchuan, and I was afraid of implicating Old Pu, so I never mentioned the marriage again."
Zhao Cheng was taken aback; he hadn't expected this connection.
Zhao Huan continued, "The relationship between the two families is still there, and Lao Pu and I can talk about anything. Zhao Yang is not mentally sound, but he is kind-hearted and physically healthy. Youxi was divorced by her husband's family and has a child with her. Both of them have disabilities. If they can be together, neither of them will owe the other anything."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Cheng stopped complaining to Zhao Huan and began to think seriously.
The father's considerations were not without merit.
Finding a normal woman for Zhao Yang would be difficult; it would be hard to find one who truly loves him. Most would be after the wealth and status of the Right Prime Minister's mansion, and in the long run, they might even bully Zhao Yang.
Park Yoo-hee, with one child, takes care of one child, and takes care of two children, so she manages to take care of both the older and younger ones.
Zhao Cheng said frankly, "Father's considerations are selfish. If Xi-jie really marries into the family, she will actually be the one who suffers."
“I know.” Zhao Huan nodded and said, “Your mother and I have discussed it. We don’t have a daughter, so after Youxi marries into our family, we will treat her like our own daughter.”
“I have no objection to this matter.” Zhao Cheng thought for a moment and said, “But there is one requirement that we must meet.”
"you say."
“Youxi’s son, Dou Dou, must be raised as a member of the Zhao family.”
Zhao Huan laughed and said, "Of course, he's your adopted son!"
"Whether he is my adopted son or not has nothing to do with it."
Zhao Cheng shook his head and said, "We did this so that Sister Youxi would feel like she didn't lose out!"
"Okay! I agree. Then you have to take care of this for your brother!"
"Me?" Zhao Cheng exclaimed, pointing to his own nose.
"Nonsense! Otherwise, why would I tell you all this?!" Zhao Huanle chuckled as he walked out, saying, "I'll talk to Lao Pu, but Youxi is up to you to handle it!"
"I'll go and help my second brother settle things with his wife, Dad, what do you think?!" Zhao Cheng complained, but Zhao Huan had already left.
East Gate.
Zhao Cheng, Zhao Wu, and He Zhi stood at the gate with ten guards.
The weather was scorching hot, and everyone was drenched in sweat.
Zhao Cheng gazed into the distance and saw a large group of people walking towards them.
According to the message from Xiao Luomu, the Mr. Minghua they 'invited' will arrive today.
Before the men and horses even reached Zhao Cheng, Xiao Luomu jumped out of the carriage and ran towards Zhao Cheng.
"Haha, young prime minister, how could I possibly accept your personal visit out of the city to greet me?!"
Zhao Cheng was stunned; he hadn't expected Xiao Luomu to come as well.
Zhao Cheng smiled and hugged Xiao Luomu, saying, "Why are you here too?"
"Isn't your wedding date coming up soon? Since I'm coming anyway, I'll come early and eat your food for a month!"
Xiao Luomu punched Zhao Cheng in the chest and said, "So you didn't know I was coming, and you weren't coming out of the city to pick me up?"
"Nonsense! Why would I pick you up with that ugly face of yours? I'm here to pick up Mr. Minghua!"
Zhao Cheng looked behind Xiao Luomu and asked, "Where is Mr. Minghua?"
Xiao Luomu's men numbered about a hundred and dragged several carts full of boxes, presumably all gifts prepared for Zhao Cheng.
"Please invite Mr. Minghua to come out."
Xiao Luomu spoke, and a group of people walked over.
Zhao Wu glanced at the men in front of him, curled his lip, and said, "Mr. Minghua is so famous, how come all these people look like servants?"
"Look at you, so clueless!"
Zhao Cheng glanced at Zhao Wu, stepped forward, and clasped his hands in greeting to a woman behind the group of men, saying, "Zhao Cheng greets Mr. Minghua!"
Zhao Wu was stunned. Mr. Minghua was actually a woman?
The woman had an oval face and delicate features. She was dressed in plain clothes and carried a small medicine basket on her back.
She looked to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with slightly dark skin, obviously from years of sun exposure, but her features were actually quite delicate, and if she dressed up carefully, she would be a beauty.
Seeing Zhao Cheng come to pay his respects, she was somewhat surprised and asked, "Have you seen me before?"
Zhao Cheng said, "I have never seen it before."
"Then why do you know me?"
Zhao Cheng smiled and said, "Among these people, only you, Mr. Minghua, have the aura of a divine physician."
Flattery will get you everywhere. Shi Minghua turned his head, snorted coldly, and said, "My original plan was to travel around Jingdong County this year, but I only visited three of the thirteen cities in Jingdong before you captured me."
Zhao Cheng quickly said, "Please! Please!"
Shi Minghua glanced at Xiao Luomu and said, "Going against people's will, is that what you call an invitation?"
"It is not a request to go against someone's will, but it is a request when there is an emergency and time is of the essence!"
"sophistry!"
Zhao Cheng said with a forced smile, "Mr. Minghua, if you're angry, I'll accept it whether you hit or scold me. But please go and save the person first. I'll apologize to you afterwards!"
"Young Prime Minister, you are of noble status. The fact that you came out of the city to greet me shows that you know you are in the wrong and have admitted your mistake. Enough, saving lives is the priority, stop dawdling!"
After speaking, Shi Minghua walked confidently into the city.
"Xiao Luomu, hurry up and follow Mr. Minghua. Make sure to arrange the best food, drink and lodging for him!" Zhao Cheng said immediately.
Xiao Luomu was stunned, then moved closer to Zhao Cheng and said, "I've already brought the person to you, and you still want me to make arrangements?"
