Li Xiuzhu was a little disappointed with Su Chengcheng. Although a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent, this was a bit silly.

"First, you can want to know and ask questions, but you cannot question."

"First of all, we are our own people, we are a family."

"Second, you can spot that woman's lies if you think about it carefully, but you were led by the nose the whole time."

"Even if you really don't understand, you can ask us first instead of making subjective assumptions."

Su Chengcheng looked at Li Xiuzhu blankly, then looked at her mother and asked, "Did she lie?"

Su Ru held her forehead with one hand and sighed, "Cheng Cheng, didn't you notice?"

"The woman named Mingyue said that she and Xiuzhu had secretly agreed to spend their lives together a year ago, but when I met her in person, she didn't recognize Xiuzhu."

Yes, just this point alone was enough to expose Nalan Mingyue’s lies.

At this moment, Su Chengcheng suddenly realized that she had wronged Li Xiuzhu and felt guilty.

"I'm sorry, Brother Xiuzhu, I was wrong."

"Yeah." Li Xiuzhu didn't comfort him, but just responded and continued: "Think about it carefully, what are you going to do if I really did these things?"

"If you can't stand by me unconditionally, you should just be my sister."

Su Chengcheng felt extremely uncomfortable at this moment, but did not refute.

Since it was a foregone conclusion, she started to think about it.

When the carriage arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, Li Xiuzhu did not rush to take people in. Instead, he instructed Lao Ma, "Lao Ma, go to the city gate and see whose carriage has entered before our carriage."

"Check three to five cars ahead."

Old Ma also heard what Li Xiuzhu said just now, although he didn't hear it clearly.

So even though Lao Ma didn't understand, he still nodded in response.

"Yes, uncle, I'll check it out right away."

Only then did Li Xiuzhu look at Su Ru and Su Chengcheng.

"Come on, let's go in."

Su Chengcheng suddenly said, "Brother Xiuzhu."

"Um?"

Su Chengcheng raised his head, looked at Li Xiuzhu seriously and said, "Brother Xiuzhu, I have thought it through. Chengcheng was indeed wrong."

"From my brother's perspective, I couldn't stand it if the person I loved the most doubted me."

"And even if I did something wrong, I want the people who love me to stand by me, instead of standing in their shoes and hurting me."

"Help your relatives first and then help your family, this is the feeling of home."

Li Xiuzhu nodded with satisfaction.

"Come in, Yunshuang, Biyao, Nongyue and Yuehua are all waiting for you."

The former of these four people already had a good relationship with Su Chengcheng, and the latter also shook hands and made peace with Su Chengcheng, and they got along well.

"Uh-huh!"

As soon as the three people entered the yard, Fu Yunshuang and others saw the three people in the front yard.

Yunshuang: "Sister Chengcheng, you are okay."

Nong Yue: "Cheng Cheng, welcome home."

Biyao: "I've lost weight and look better."

Fu Yuehua: "This will be your home from now on."

Although the other women didn't say anything, they all nodded in greeting.

At this moment, Su Chengcheng felt unprecedented warmth.

Li Xiuzhu looked at them and smiled: "Why are they all in the front yard? What if we can't come back today?"

Fu Yunshuang smiled when she heard that.

"It doesn't matter where we fight, we can see Sister Cheng Cheng earlier here."

"By the way, brother-in-law and sister Cheng Cheng, you haven't eaten yet, right? I asked someone to reserve some ingredients, and we can eat soon."

Li Xiuzhu jokingly said, "Yun Shuang is really becoming more and more like a housekeeper."

"You know what? I set out this morning and it's already been three hours. I'm really hungry."

At the same time, the Imperial Study The Imperial Study was quite lively at this time. Not only was the Crown Prince there, but also the three of the six ministers were there, plus the Prime Minister Fu Wenhan and the Grand Commandant Gao.

"The Silla envoy arrived in Beijing half an hour ago."

"According to the spy's report, my princess is here too. What do you think of this?"

Several people looked at each other, and Fu Wenhan thought for a moment and spoke first: "It seems that Silla is not just a simple surrender, otherwise it should not let a princess come."

At this time, Tian Yi, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, shook his head and stepped forward and said, "According to the spy report, the three adult princes of the King of Silla have been killed by us, and the only remaining youngest son is less than ten years old."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Accepting surrender is a big deal, but the words of the envoys are not enough to reflect the hierarchy, so it is normal for the princess to come."

Sun Jingyang, the Minister of Rites, stepped forward and said, "Lord Tian's analysis is reasonable, but we must also make other preparations."

"If the other party wants to marry, who should they choose, Your Majesty or the prince?"

"How much should the bride price be and how should it be given?"

"Everyone knows that Silla is suffering from natural disasters and man-made disasters right now. What they want must be great, so I think the possibility of a marriage is very high."

Li Kuo nodded when he heard this.

"Then let's just assume that the other party is planning to form a marriage alliance. It's better to be prepared."

"Prince, do you think we should get married?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengze took a step forward and said calmly, "I think the marriage depends on whether the emperor intends to keep Silla."

Li Kuo's expression changed and he was very satisfied with this answer.

"Oh, tell me what you think."

Li Chengze was not stupid. As the emperor's successor, he was qualified in all aspects except the rabbit. Hearing this, he said, "Silla is just struggling to survive now."

"At this time, Silla is less than half of its heyday, and is even shrouded in natural disasters."

"Perhaps some of you may disagree, thinking that since Silla lost nearly two-thirds of its people, including the dead and captured, it will surely have enough food."

"But that's not the case. While we were capturing the Silla women, we burned all the food and fodder we could and drove the cattle and sheep back."

"Silla is not only small in size but also poor in resources. In their base camp, food and supplies are not abundant."

"Secondly, although our army reached the capital of Silla, there was no damage near the capital."

"So they must still be in trouble now. This is a disaster year."

"If the emperor does not want to keep Silla, then refuse the marriage, refuse the surrender, and take Silla in the spring."

"Father, this is all I can think of."

Li Kuo nodded in satisfaction and said, "What you said is right, but it is not so comprehensive."

“Taking down Silla may not be as easy as we think.”

"As the saying goes, the army of the underdog will win. Your brother-in-law, Guan Junhou, fought too fiercely and decisively."

"If we attack Silla again, they will think we don't want male prisoners, we only want to kill and conquer."

"If we can take down Silla by then, there will definitely be many casualties, and I'm afraid there will be unusual movements around the Great Zhou."

Li Kuo looked at the ministers below and asked, "What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Wenhan said, "Your Majesty is wise, and the prince's analysis is also very accurate."

"I think we can keep Silla first."
