Chapter 204 Lu Sui, I’m warning you
Jiang Yueyao glared at him lightly, turned around and was about to leave, but was pulled into the carriage by Lu Sui.
"Hey, what are you doing..." Jiang Yueyao tried to push him away, but Lu Sui hugged her and sat her in his arms.
He lowered his head and was about to kiss her, but Jiang Yueyao blocked his way with her quick eyes and hands.
"If you want to kiss me, just let me. Say something nice." She raised her eyes slightly, pressed her palm against his thin lips, and refused to let him get close.
A chuckle.
The hot breath hit Jiang Yueyao's palm, making it tingle and numb.
She glanced at him lightly: "Are you going to tell me or not?"
"say what?"
"It makes me happy." Jiang Yueyao raised her eyebrows slightly and teased him intentionally.
Lu Sui laughed again, then raised his hand to take away her hand that was blocking his mouth, then lowered his head slightly, put his thin lips close to her ear, and spoke in a low voice, full of the magnetic and pleasant sound of a mature man.
"How about I ask His Majesty to grant us a marriage tomorrow?"
As soon as he said this, Jiang Yueyao's face changed in fear.
"No, no, mother hasn't remembered me yet, Baoqing hasn't come back yet, and what father is doing to you now...oh, no, it's not possible anyway." Jiang Yueyao pushed him away, "I'm the one who decides between us, you're not allowed to make decisions on your own."
When Lu Sui heard this, his face turned unhappy.
"Then how long should I wait?"
"Wait a little longer, until mother remembers me." In order to comfort him, Jiang Yueyao took the initiative to move closer to him and kissed the corner of his pursed lips. "Besides, my brother hasn't even married yet."
As the youngest in the family, how can I get past them?
When Lu Sui heard this, he couldn't help but sneer.
"If he doesn't marry me, then I can't marry him?"
He grabbed Jiang Yueyao's chin and said in a deep voice: "When your mother remembers you, our marriage must be put on the agenda."
As he said that, he kissed her.
Jiang Yueyao wanted to protest, but her lips were already blocked. She could only hook her arms around his neck and let him grab her.
----
The next morning court session.
Some censors again protested against Shen Huaishan's control of the 300,000 Mobei troops, wanting to divide his military power and let him return to Mobei to guard the border again.
The officials on Shen Huaishan's side naturally refuted it on the spot. Once the argument started, the two sides engaged in a verbal battle, and the court immediately became a bustling city with noisy arguments.
Shen Huaishan scratched his ears and was about to speak when a deep voice came.
"Since Lord Wang is so obsessed with the Mobei Army, why not give up your civil service and embrace the military? I'll give you these 300,000 Mobei soldiers. You can guard Mobei and experience the sandstorms and snowstorms that it brings year-round."
Shen Huaishan glanced at the person who spoke for him.
Inwardly, he snorted coldly, "If someone shows kindness for no reason, he's either a traitor or a thief!"
But he cooperated with the attack with his mouth.
He bowed, looked at the Emperor on the high throne, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, since the end of the first month of the year, Lord Wang and his accomplices..."
"General Shen, be careful with your words. What accomplices are you talking about? All the civil and military officials in the court are colleagues!" One of Lord Wang's accomplices got angry and immediately fought back.
"Yes, yes, yes. Look at my mouth. I say whatever I think. I'm sorry for scaring you." He said 'sorry' but there was no 'embarrassment' on his face.
"Your Majesty, since Lord Wang wishes to take charge of the Mobei Army, I will hand over the tiger talisman..."
The Emperor Ming, who had been keeping his eyes down and silent, raised his eyelids to glance at him, then looked at Lord Wang and the others.
"Wang Li, do you really think so?"
Just one simple sentence frightened Lord Wang so much that he fell to his knees with a thud.
"Your Majesty, I am simply thinking that there is no one guarding Mobei right now. If the foreigners attack again, it will be too late to rush over from the capital."
"It was Shen Huaishan whom I left behind. The first time he attended court after the New Year, he submitted a petition to me, requesting to return to Mobei."
"But I think of him who has spent over ten years in that windy and sandy land, guarding the border. His wife is now ill, and his two children are still unmarried."
"Lord Wang is the same age as him and is already a grandfather."
"While you were enjoying your family happiness, did you ever think about him at all?"
These words made Lord Wang and his ilk break out in cold sweats.
Seeing the emperor speaking for him, Shen Huaishan looked at him with a moved face, wishing he could offer his sincere heart to the wise monarch.
After the court was dismissed, all officials walked out one after another.
Bai Jinyan came to find Shen Huaishan: "Is there any news from Qingqing?"
When Shen Baoqing was mentioned, Shen Huaishan sighed.
"He didn't go far, but he never came back. Not only that, he even sent me a letter asking for some money."
When Bai Jinyan heard this, he couldn't help but stare.
"You gave it?"
"What if I don't give her money? Without money, what will she eat and drink? Where will she stay at night?" Shen Huaishan looked at his brother-in-law, "You don't have a daughter, don't you know that sometimes daughters are much harder to raise than sons."
You can't hit or scold me, it's all tears if I say too much.
Bai Jinyan, who originally had some sympathy for him, turned around and left when he heard this.
But after taking two steps, he retreated.
"If you think it's difficult to raise a daughter, then give Xiaoqi to me to raise. I'm happy to do so and I don't mind the fatigue."
When Shen Huaishan heard this, he immediately glared: "You're dreaming, my Xiaoqi is very obedient. There is no girl in the whole capital who is more obedient, sensible and considerate than her."
As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar male voice came from the side.
"Lord Shen is right. I feel the same way!"
Shen Huaishan and Bai Jinyan turned around together and looked at Lu Sui who had approached without them noticing.
Thinking about what he just said, they both stared and said in unison.
"What's it to you?"
After saying this, Shen Huaishan was still not satisfied.
"What do you feel for? What does my daughter have to do with you?"
"Lu Sui, I'm warning you. Don't go to Qianweilou if you don't have anything to do. I can't even bear to drink my top-notch Biluochun myself, and you drank half a can by yourself. Do you have the nerve to do that?"
Lu Sui smiled slightly.
"If Lord Shen is concerned about tea, I have some Wuyi Dahongpao that I just got during the New Year. I'll have someone send some over for you to try."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Bai Jinyan beside him.
"If Lord Bai likes it, I'll send some to try as well."
Bai Jinyan was the first to react.
He glanced at Lu Sui, who was trying to please him for no reason, and kicked Shen Huaishan.
"You have something to say, the point is tea, right?"
Shen Huaishan finally reacted.
He looked at Lu Sui.
Take a deep breath.
"Lord Lu is a man of deep scheming, far more than a military commander like me can compare to. I could have been led astray by you with just one careless word."
"My little Qi is so innocent and cute, how can she deal with an old fox like you?"
"Don't say anything, I don't agree!"
He ran away.
Bai Jinyan also followed.
Before leaving, he glanced at Lu Sui indifferently.
He couldn't help but hum inwardly, "Good things should be kept within the family. That little loser Bai Shaochuan couldn't hold onto his own little cousin's heart, so how could his son Bai Shaoting not hold onto her?"
So one day, as soon as Bai Shaoting got home from work, he was dragged to the study by his father, Bai Jinyan...
