Chapter 296 Let’s Wait and See
Zhao Liya wanted to laugh, but she held it back with a tense face. "You can go back to the capital first. You don't have to wait for us."
At this moment, she didn't want to go with him, it was terrible.
Zhou Hansheng: “.”
"Do you have any objections?"
Why didn't you say you had any complaints when you tricked me into a loop? The truth is, once I did, I'd get furious.
I just want to keep kicking him.
Zhou Hansheng certainly had his objections, but he didn't dare to express them, nor did he dare to hold back. "I want to go say goodbye to my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
“No need!”
"Okay then, I'll be leaving first. I'll wait for you in the capital!"
Zhou Hansheng stopped pestering and quickly agreed, then rode away on horseback.
He felt a little relieved. Aya hadn't forbidden him from calling her "father-in-law" or "mother-in-law," which meant she still cared about him. She was just angry for a moment, so he should go back and reflect on his mistakes and repent deeply.
The engagement is still there, which is great.
Zhao Liya didn't think too much about it. When she saw him leave, she subconsciously felt a little annoyed and returned to the inn angrily.
The two of them left together, but she came back alone, and as soon as she came back, she found an excuse to send Zhaonan and others away. Deng was a little puzzled, but Zhao Xiang understood it at a glance.
"Ya'er, come here."
"father!"
Zhao Liya also had something to ask her father. Zhou Hansheng was the eldest son of the Duke of Liguo's mansion, so this matter needed to be made clear.
"Dad, did you know this a long time ago?"
Zhao Xiang sighed secretly, thinking that it might not be a good thing for his daughter to be too smart.
He nodded: "Yes, Dad knew it when we were still in Yan Village in Lingnan."
Zhao Liya looked at her father.
Zhao Xiang laughed and sighed, "Silly child, Han Sheng didn't dare tell you, for fear that you would be angry. But since he asked to marry your daughter, how could he not tell his parents about his identity?"
Zhao Liya: “.”
This is his intention and his sincerity.
He could be forgiven for hiding it from Zhao Liya. As long as Zhao Liya liked him and had him in her heart, nothing else might matter. But if he had concealed it from Zhao Xiang and Deng Shi during his serious marriage proposal, how would that be any different from marriage fraud?
This is a question of character.
Zhao Liya's dissatisfaction subsided a little, and she continued, "Has he explained everything to Dad and Mom?"
Zhao Xiang nodded.
Precisely because of the explanation, although Zhao Xiang was a little angry when he heard it at the time, he also felt that this son-in-law was still worth giving another chance.
As long as my daughter likes it.
Putting aside all external factors, if the daughter still likes him, then she really likes him. It is not impossible to turn a blind eye to other minor details and discuss them.
Zhao Xiang added, "Dad didn't tell you at the time because he didn't want you to think too much. You just need to listen to your heart."
Zhao Liya felt warm in her heart.
Zhao Xiang was originally an open-minded person, and after experiencing great adversity, he became more open-minded. Nothing else mattered. What mattered was whether his daughter liked him or not, and whether Zhou Hansheng himself was worthy of her.
Even if he looked at him again and again with the eyes of a father-in-law looking at his son-in-law, Zhao Xiang had to admit that if he put aside everything else, Zhou Hansheng was still worth it.
There is nothing to complain about this son-in-law.
Zhao Xiang continued, "Although the relationships within the Duke of Liguo's residence are somewhat complicated, you are my daughter, and given your status, no one dares to bully you. Although the Duke of Liguo's wife may not be in charge of things, she is also a very friendly and easygoing person. She only has one son, Zhou Hansheng, and will definitely stand on the side of her son and daughter-in-law. The Duke of Liguo can also suppress his two younger brothers. However, if you really marry into the family, there will probably still be some disturbances in the inner chamber, and you will have to deal with it yourself."
There are some things that even parents cannot intervene to help. No matter what family Zhao Liya marries into in the future, she will have to go through this process.
Other families may not be much stronger than the Duke of Liguo's Mansion.
Zhao Liya didn't care about this at all. She smiled and said, "That's fine. I'm not worried at all!"
As long as her parents-in-law support her and Zhou Hansheng is on her side, there are only a few women in the inner house. What is she afraid of?
Not only are they not afraid, but they are even eager to try. What's going on?
Hearing what my father said, I think Zhou Hansheng's relationship with his step-grandmother and his parents should be very ordinary, which is even better.
The old lady was old, so Zhao Liya wouldn't argue with her. But if her two legitimate daughters-in-law didn't keep their duties and tried to make trouble behind her back, then don't blame her for being rude.
She will not show any mercy.
Zhao Liya originally wanted to ask more about the affairs of the Duke of Liguo's Mansion, but then she changed her mind and decided to forget it. Her father might not know much about it. After all, there were only a few people there, and a good judgment on the general situation was enough.
Zhao Xiang glanced at her and said gently, "How is it? Aya, have you thought it over? Is this marriage still possible? If you don't like it, you can still withdraw."
After all, although the marriage had been arranged privately, it had not yet been made public, so it wouldn't hurt to cancel the engagement again. Zhao Xiang didn't care, and Zhao Liya didn't care either.
Things are different now. They are no longer people who can be trapped by a mere marriage contract.
Zhao Liya: “.”
How could she say this?
"I, I need to think about it."
Think about it for a few more days. I can't agree so quickly. I don't want to let Zhou Hansheng pass so easily.
Otherwise, that guy might dare to do it again in the future.
She wanted him to never do it again and to learn the lesson deeply!
How could Zhao Xiang not understand her? Seeing her reaction, he knew what was going on. He smiled and said, "Well, I'll do as you say."
The rest is their business, let them solve it themselves.
Zhao Liya's face turned slightly red.
It was getting late, so the family had dinner together. The waiter of the inn brought the food attentively. There were eight dishes and one soup, which were very exquisite and delicious at first glance.
The accommodation in this inn is good, but the quality of the food provided to the guests is actually average. They saw the food served to other guests at noon.
It looked like the food had been delivered from another restaurant.
Most likely it was Zhou Hansheng's idea.
Forget it, just pretend you don’t know.
Zhao Lixiang and Zhao Lin were disappointed not to see Zhou Hansheng, and they rushed to ask about him.
"Sister, where is Brother Zhou?"
"Yes, sister, where is Brother Zhou going? Let's wait for Brother Zhou to come and have dinner together!"
The sister and brother looked at Zhao Liya eagerly.
Zhao Liya: “.”
Where did your brother Zhou go? Why didn’t you ask your father and mother, but asked me subconsciously?
Zhao Liya actually felt a little inexplicably guilty, so guilty that she didn't dare tell them that their brother Zhou was driven away by her.
"Uh, well, Brother Zhou has been very busy lately. The inn he booked for us is now closed, so he left first. We'll see him when we return to Beijing!"
