"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Things have come to this point. There is no other way."
The official waved his hands, looking quite relaxed.
"No! I won't allow it! If we miss this opportunity with Lord Yang's daughter, we may not be able to find another one!
We don't dare to take action against General Zhao, so let's start with Lord Yang's daughter.
The little girl was found after being away for so many years. Who knows what she went through out there.
I don't believe we can't find something to hold against her! If we can find something to hold against her, we can make her marry our son, right? "
The wife of the official was overjoyed and immediately sent someone to investigate the past of the Yang family's eldest daughter.
Although the Minister of Justice killed Ying's parents, he also made Ying Bei addicted to gambling.
But he did not completely erase Ying Xixi's past.
As long as someone follows the investigation to Taohua Village, they will discover Ying Xixi's most important secret.
"What?! The legitimate daughter that Lord Yang found is a barren woman?!"
The wife of the official exclaimed in surprise when she heard the servant's report.
"Yes, this is known to everyone in Taohua Village."
The wife of the official laughed repeatedly, "So she's a barren woman! No wonder, no wonder Lord Yang agreed to General Zhao's proposal of marriage.
One has difficulty in having children, and the other is a barren woman. Isn't that a perfect match? "
Yuanwailang didn't expect the investigation to yield such a result.
"Madam, what should we do now? Since Lord Yang's legitimate daughter is a barren woman, there is no need for us to get involved in this marriage.
Let’s just pretend we don’t know about this.”
"There's really no need to get involved. We don't want a barren woman as our daughter-in-law!
But this incident has kept me from eating or sleeping well for a while now, and I feel bad that it’s over like this! "
The wife of the official rolled her eyes and quickly gave instructions in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Yuanwailang had some concerns but also wanted to vent his anger, so he did not stop it.
Soon, a piece of news spread throughout the capital.
"Hey, hey, hey, have you heard that the legitimate daughter that the Minister of Justice just found is actually a barren woman?"
"A barren woman? Barren women are quite rare. I didn't expect to encounter one in the family of the Minister of Justice.
Who can accept that the legitimate daughter we finally found is a barren one? "
“I wonder if General Zhao knows that the girl he wants to propose to is a barren woman. If General Zhao only found out now, wouldn’t he be deceived?
It’s hard to say whether this marriage can continue.”
"Have you forgotten that General Zhao was injured and it's difficult for him to have children? To put it bluntly, it's impossible for General Zhao to have children. If he marries a normal girl, it will ruin her life.
But marrying a barren daughter or legitimate daughter of the Minister of Justice is different. One is difficult to have children and the other is a barren woman. In fact, they are still quite a match. After they get married, they will not bring harm to other normal people. "
"That's really harsh! But there's truth in it. Look at them, they're all pitiful people."
......
The news that Ying Xixi was a barren woman also reached the emperor's ears.
The emperor was stunned at first, then he laughed heartily with glee.
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect it! I really didn't expect it!
No wonder the old man, the Minister of Justice, agreed to this marriage, and no wonder Zhao Yuxiao went to propose.
A man with difficulty in having children and a barren woman are indeed a perfect match!
Come on, don't trip up Zhao Yuxiao for now, but don't let him sit idle either. You should still assassinate him from time to time."
"yes."
The secret guard agreed and left.
Because of this incident, the emperor was in a good mood. When he attended the morning court the next day, he specifically mentioned Zhao Yuxiao's marriage.
Yang Zhi, who was standing by, understood what the emperor meant after hearing this.
But he also had a new worry. He didn't know whether Zhao Yuxiao knew that his legitimate daughter was a barren woman.
If I don’t know, what if Zhao Yuxiao cancels the proposal?
After the morning court session ended, Zhao Yuxiao first came to the hesitant Yang Zhi.
"Master Yang, are you relieved now? Have you changed your mind?"
Yang Zhi had a complicated expression, "General Zhao, now, I naturally agree, but you..."
"No matter what Xixi does, I love her and am willing to marry her. Please tell Xixi that I will meet her at the teahouse at 3 p.m. this afternoon. I will be waiting for her."
Zhao Yuxiao whispered this and left.
Yang Zhi looked at the tall and strong Zhao Yuxiao and sighed softly.
Why is it that one has difficulty in having children and the other is a barren woman?
After returning home, Yang Zhi told Ying Xixi about Zhao Yuxiao's appointment.
"At 5 p.m.? Okay, I'll go then."
She was finally able to meet Zhao Yuxiao in person, and she was still a little looking forward to it.
She looked at her stepfather's extremely worried expression and asked.
"Father, has the news of my being a barren woman spread throughout the capital, causing you to lose face?"
Yang Zhi sighed and shook his head, "It's not shameful, how can we talk about shame or not in such a matter?
I am just sorry that you and General Zhao have to endure such a thing!"
Ying Xixi was a little surprised. She thought her stepfather would scold her for being shameful and say that if he had known she was a barren woman, he would not have brought her back.
Unexpectedly, my cheap dad is a good father.
"Father, don't worry. Maybe the general and I will really have our own children in the future."
And there will be many more!
Ying Xixi was telling the truth, but Yang Zhi just shook his head and said nothing.
"By the way, father, do you want to investigate who leaked the news that I'm a barren woman?"
Ying Xixi felt that she was quite vindictive, and if her stepfather didn't intend to investigate, she would.
"Of course we have to investigate, even though the person who leaked this matter to a certain extent also facilitated your marriage with General Zhao.
But this is not right, I have to find out who said it!
I'll take care of this for you, don't worry about it."
"good."
The father and daughter chatted for a while, and then Yang Zhi left first.
Ying Xixi went to see Zhao Yuxiao in the afternoon and dressed up as a man.
Now the whole capital is talking about her and Zhao Yuxiao, so she must not be recognized.
Before Ying Xixi went up to the teahouse, she saw roast chickens being sold at a stall and bought two.
She stood in front of the stall and turned to look towards the second floor of the teahouse, and her eyes met Zhao Yuxiao who was sitting by the window and looking at her.
Ying Xixi smiled and waved at him.
Zhao Yuxiao nodded calmly, then retracted his gaze, drank a sip of tea, and then looked at Ying Xixi again.
Ying Xixi entered the box carrying two roast chickens.
"General Zhao, are you hungry? I bought two roast chickens to share with you."
Ying Xixi spoke in a clear voice and sat down opposite Zhao Yuxiao.
Zhao Yuxiao finally saw Ying Xixi's face and looked at her without any concealment.
