Yin Liu, who had stood up immediately after the virtuous king sat down, and Xue Wei and Dainian, who were standing beside him, all took half a step back when they heard the words of the Duke of Zhenguo.
When it comes to being honest, the Duke of Zhenguo is the best. He simply exposes people's pain points.
Xu Tianze was originally a little helpless about the tit-for-tat between Song Yu and the virtuous king. When he suddenly heard Song Yu's words, his eyes became a little dim.
Although he knew that Song Yu meant to sow discord by saying this, what happened during the day still made him a little worried.
"Song Yu, you are still meddling too much in the affairs between us." When the virtuous king heard Song Yu's words, he subconsciously looked at Xu Tianze.
Seeing that Xu Tianze was in a bad mood because of Song Yu's few words and felt a little guilty, and the fact that Song Yu's words were true, he felt even more guilty.
"Xiao Ze and I have a close relationship, so naturally I have to take more care of him." Song Yu hadn't had the upper hand for a long time, and seeing that the wise king was defeated this time, he felt a little complacent.
"Xiao Ze, if you ask me, you should come to my Zhenguo Mansion. This is a good opportunity for the old man to explain some things to you." Song Yu stopped staring at the virtuous king and looked at Xu Tianze instead.
The old man has been nagging Xiaoze all the time, and his ears are almost callused. It would be better to let Xiaoze and the old man meet.
"Song Yu really didn't think twice when he said that. Aze will definitely not go to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Don't you know why?"
"Even if Aze is no longer in my Xianwang Mansion, can he still go to your Zhenguo Mansion?" Xianwang said coldly. He really overestimated Song Yu.
If Aze could really forgive the Xu family and the old man of the Zhenguo Mansion for their schemes, he would have come to their house long ago. But seeing that he hinted to Nan Xunjie to send Qingyuan, the illegitimate son, to his house, it was clear that Aze still had hatred in his heart.
After the wise king finished speaking, he looked at Song Yu with disdain, but when he saw the strange smile on Song Yu's lips, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Do you think I'm an object or are you here to beg for money?" Xu Tianze stood up and glanced at Song Yu, then looked at his beloved wise king.
"Aze, this is not what I meant." As soon as the virtuous king heard Xu Tianze's words, he realized that he had overlooked something and hurried to explain.
"Needless to say, I won't go to either of your mansions. I have a place to live." Xu Tianze interrupted the virtuous king, not wanting to argue any further. He muttered to himself and added, "A place that doesn't despise me and won't drive me away."
Although Xu Tianze's last sentence was spoken in a low voice, Song Yu, the virtuous king, and their guards were all skilled in martial arts and could naturally hear it.
The wise king opened his mouth for a moment, but his throat was blocked and he couldn't speak. There was a glimmer of light in Song Yu's eyes, but more of it was guilt and uneasiness.
"Yinliu, settle the bill with the old man, and let's go home." Xu Tianze instructed Yinliu, then picked up the oil-paper umbrella and walked out of the shed.
King Xian and Song Yu stood there watching Xu Tianze's figure disappear in the rain. They wanted to keep him, but because of the argument just now, there was no way to keep him.
The other diners around felt the air pressure getting lower and lower, so they all put down their silver coins and left with their oil-paper umbrellas.
After a long silence, the virtuous king finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Song Yu, you are still as insidious as ever. I am truly ashamed of myself."
From the very beginning, the wise king knew that Song Yu was not as calm as he seemed on the surface, and that even he, as a prince, could not catch up with the inner scheming and calculations.
He didn't expect that just because he had relaxed his vigilance against Song Yu recently, he would be directly faced with Song Yu's calculations.
"Your Highness is grateful for the compliment, but in the final analysis, it is because of your words just now that this happened." Song Yu smiled, with due respect on his face.
"Yes, I did speak out of turn, but I have never taken action against the Xu family, and I don't have any deep ties with the Xu family. Song Yu, you have tricked the wrong person." The wise king directly and generously admitted his negligence, but he still ridiculed Song Yu.
The common people don't know this, but the nobles in the capital know it clearly: who is the heir of the Xu family and who should have been given the title of Duke of Zhenguo.
Not to mention, three years ago, he had already discovered from clues that Song Yu had taken action. Even if such a person tried hard, it would be impossible for anything to happen between him and Aze.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will get Xiaoze back myself." Song Yu heard the sarcasm in the wise king's words, frowned, and then quickly relaxed his brows.
The virtuous king had no reaction to Song Yu's first words, but he burst into laughter after hearing the latter part.
After laughing enough, the virtuous king looked back at Song Yu, whose brows were furrowed again: "Song Yu, Song Yu, you still don't understand what Aze means."
The virtuous king patted Song Yu's shoulder in a good mood, then walked out of the shed and got on the carriage.
"Your Highness." Seeing that the virtuous king was already sitting in the carriage, Xue Wei hurried forward and got close to the carriage.
"No need to pay attention to it, just go back to the Xianwang Mansion."
When Xue Wei heard the words coming from the carriage, he put down his hand that had been on his waist, climbed directly onto the carriage, and drove away.
When Song Yu saw the virtuous king leave, there was no expression on his face, but his eyes were filled with solemnity and doubt.
He thought carefully about the conversation he had just had with the Wise King. Although he had used an overt strategy to make his intentions very clear, what went wrong that made the Wise King laugh?
The wise king still felt that it was impossible for him, Song Yu, to win Xiaoze back. If that was the case, then he really underestimated him. As long as Xiaoze had enough grudges with others, he would still be Xiaoze's only support in the end.
Just like when he plotted to cause the decline of the Xu family, if he had not been intercepted by King Jing in the end, maybe he would be the one with Xiaoze now. It can only be said that he was still one step behind.
But if he does it again, he will definitely not make the same mistake as last time.
"Master." Dai Nian looked around and then stepped forward to ask.
"Go back first, and then follow the old rules." Song Yu understood what Dai Nian meant, gave the order directly, and got on his own carriage.
As for how many other people were in the shed, or anything else, he had no interest at all.
Before driving the carriage away, Dai Nian glanced at the old man and his son who were kneading sesame cakes beside him, and then left.
The old man had been concentrating on the work in his hands. After the carriage of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had gone far away, he immediately took all the silver and took his son away.
"Dad, the stall is still here, where are we going?"
"Shut up, come with me quickly, and don't ask anything else." The old man slapped his son, but his trembling hands were not as calm as he looked.
