Chapter 51 The money has arrived
Under a tree with lush branches and leaves.
Du Lanxi sat down.
Dou Jinyuan knelt at his feet.
"Do you know you are wrong, husband?" Du Lanxi asked gently.
"I'm sorry, Lan Xi. It's all my fault that you've suffered so much. If I had gotten over it earlier, you wouldn't have to suffer so much. It's all my fault. I'm sorry for you."
Dou Jinyuan would not cry out loud.
I can only shed tears of sadness.
Du Lanxi hugged her poor husband but didn't let him get up. "That's not it, husband."
He never blamed his husband for those past events.
I also hope that he can come to terms with it and stop torturing himself day and night.
"Xiao Ayao is the son-in-law I favor, but you seem very dissatisfied with him? Don't you trust my judgment, husband?"
"I'm not! I..."
Dou Jinyuan didn't understand why her husband kept bringing up this matter again and again.
He felt a little guilty and avoided his husband's gaze. "Minister Nie is very capable. It doesn't matter what I think of him."
"No, he is the husband of Blue Baby."
"He is also the benefactor of my father and me. Without him, I would die with a lot of guilt towards my baby Lanlan."
"A husband and wife are one. I thought my husband would fulfill the favors I failed to repay. Therefore, I will die without regrets."
A hint of disappointment appeared on Du Lanxi's face.
This was a huge blow to Dou Jinyuan.
"Lan Xi, I... I..."
"My husband is unwilling to repay my kindness. Do you want me to die with regrets?"
"I don't!"
Dou Jinyuan denied it flatly, and seeing that her husband was unwilling to believe her, her tears flowed even faster.
This time, Du Lanxi did not wipe his tears gently.
"I was wrong, Lanxi." Dou Jinyuan said pitifully, wiping away his tears. "I will treat him well. I will treat him as my adopted son and raise him well."
"Brother-in-law."
Du Lanxi would not let him fish in troubled waters and get away with it.
If Dou Jinyuan doesn't truly regard Nie Yao as his brother-in-law, then don't let him get up.
Dou Jinyuan knelt in silence.
No matter what, he couldn't treat Nie Yao sincerely as a family member.
Dou Jinyuan: "Lanxi, I'm sorry. I know everything you said. But... I've seen everything Alan has done for Nie Yao over the years. Alan has sacrificed so much, but what about Nie Yao?"
Yes, matters of the heart are illusory.
You don't necessarily get equal returns no matter how much you put in.
But he is Alan's father.
He has seen all the efforts, patience, and concessions that Alan has made for him over the years!
"Alan gave so much for him and almost lost his life for it!" As a father, he couldn't restrain his selfishness and anger. He just couldn't forgive. Dou Jinyuan apologized with tears in his eyes, "I'm sorry, Lan Xi. I really... can't do it..."
Agreeing to this marriage for the sake of her husband and brother was all he could do.
No matter how much he tried, he really couldn't convince himself.
"I'm sorry...Lan Xi, I'm sorry..."
"Alright, alright." This time Du Lanxi wiped his tears for him. "Thank you for your hard work over the years, my husband."
He no longer pressures the other party to make immediate changes.
He believed that Nie Yao was such a good child, and his husband would one day see his good side.
One day, even without anyone's persuasion, he will truly treat little A Yao as a family member.
Just two quarters of an hour.
The dream turned into smoke and disappeared.
In the last few breaths, the two snuggled together.
"Lan Xi, Lan Xi..."
Dou Jinyuan murmured.
This time he was not reluctant to open his eyes.
When he saw Nie Yao again, the vague annoyance was gone. Although there was no kindness in his eyes, he could still treat him as an ordinary person.
"father in law."
Nie Yao greeted his father-in-law, who seemed to have returned to normal.
This time it was not ignored.
Dou Jinyuan nodded, "Yes."
Nie Yao was a little flattered.
He looked at his wife, who was in a good mood, and then at his father-in-law, who had calmed down a lot. He sighed: My father-in-law is really amazing.
But it only takes one night to appease these two difficult people.
"Daddy!" Du Suilan also called out to her old father and said to him, "After the court session today, my husband and I are going to visit Daddy's grave. Daddy, are you going?"
"No."
Dou Jinyuan didn't want to mourn her late husband with others. "A lot of things have accumulated in the past few days and need to be dealt with as soon as possible."
He made an excuse.
It's considered giving face to Nie (Bie) Yao (people).
"Oh well."
Since he didn't want to go, Du Sui Lan didn't force him.
I told him something else, "Father, Sun Ji's eight million taels of gold were delivered to my husband's house yesterday. Please mention it when you go to court today. My husband will no longer be the Minister of Revenue."
In just a few words, Dou Jinyuan understood the two people's intentions.
He questioned Nie Yao in front of him, "Is he willing to let go?"
I think about how many people Nie Yao killed for the position of Minister of Revenue. The ground of the execution ground was always red during those days.
It can't be washed clean.
"Father-in-law." Nie Yao pinched his wife's fingertips to calm her down. "There are many military affairs. Plus, there are already people who can take over the work at the Ministry of Revenue, so I won't do the work there anymore. I plan to focus on military affairs from now on."
After some explanation.
Dou Jinyuan also let down his guard a little. He asked his beloved brother, "Then, Alan, who are you going to let be the Minister of Revenue?"
"Cui Ru."
"A woman?" Nie Yao was the only one present who didn't recognize Cui Ru. He asked with a hint of doubt, "Wife, do you want a woman to take my place?"
"yes."
Du Sui Lan saw that her husband was not surprised, but was simply confused.
Smiling, she said, "Because you said, my husband, women and men also have talents and it's not a waste to leave them alone, so I started using them~"
In fact, he doesn't care whether the person working for him is a man, a woman, or a boy. He just wants his husband to be happy.
As expected.
He made the right move.
When the husband heard that he wanted to let a woman be the Minister of Revenue, he was briefly surprised and then delighted.
"Wife, you actually found such a capable woman. You are amazing!" Nie Yao touched his wife's head and praised him highly.
The world is almost entirely dominated by men.
Although Nie Yao can improve the status of women and boys in some places, if he wants all women and boys in the world to live in relative equality, it still depends on his wife's political skills.
My wife has always been comprehensive in her work.
Nie Yao didn't have to worry about Cui Ru's identity, let alone whether she was competent.
Since my wife can push her up, it means there must be nothing wrong with her.
"You're amazing, wife."
Nie Yao was proud of his wife from the bottom of his heart.
Du Suilan benefited a lot from it.
I thought I could do more of this kind of thing in the future.
My husband likes it.
"Will my husband reward me then?"
"Of course! What reward do you want?"
"Well...I want..."
The two of them stuck together, talking and laughing, so sweet.
I completely forgot there was a third person present.
The old father, who was the last one to leave, didn't want to even look at this scene. He just glanced at it and walked away alone on another path.
Not eating anymore.
work.
