Yuan Gu kept telling himself that his sister had been deceived or coerced, and that she was definitely not acting voluntarily.
However, Yuan Zhao's words have now brought him to his senses.
There was no one else around. Yuan Zhao's eyes were sincere, and she didn't seem to be lying. Moreover, what she said was reasonable and well-founded, leaving no room for criticism.
Yuan Gu opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. After a long while, he finally said in a hoarse voice:
"But Zhaozhao, have you thought about how others will see you in the future?"
"I don't live in other people's eyes; I just need to live well myself."
"My only worry is that you brothers will ignore me."
Yuan Zhao felt a little sad.
She knew that if this got out, it would damage the reputation of the General's Mansion, but she had no choice.
Rong Ruo was a madman, and the emperor was extremely wary of the Yuan family.
If they were to confront them head-on now, the Yuan family would be the only ones to lose.
She really didn't want her father and brothers to suffer the same fate as in their previous life.
Yuan Zhao's words made Yuan Gu sigh deeply. He raised his hand and patted Yuan Zhao's head.
How could we ignore you?
"No matter what happens, you'll always be my little sister."
"Zhaozhao, this is the last time your brother will say it. You must think it through."
"You know what your father is planning."
They are preparing to return to the border, and the three of them—father and sons—are all making preparations for it.
Going back is only a matter of time.
If Yuan Zhao really marries Rong Ruo, then she won't be able to leave with them.
He was most worried that if something happened to her, they wouldn't be able to get back immediately.
"I know, but my mind is made up."
Yuan Zhao said firmly.
How could she not want to be with her family?
But it didn't work.
On the contrary, if he stays behind, his father and brothers are more likely to return to the border.
"Brother, don't worry, as long as the Yuan family stands, I will be fine."
"You are my source of confidence."
The bride's family is the most important, and it is also the source of a married woman's confidence.
In her past life, if her father and brothers hadn't met with misfortune, Zhou Shiyuan wouldn't have dared to write a letter of divorce and drown her in the pond.
Seeing how clearly she understood and how well she thought things through, Yuan Gu said no more, only saying:
"I'll speak to Father on his behalf."
"You can talk to your second brother yourself."
"Thank you, brother."
Yuan Zhao said happily.
She knew that if her older brother agreed, the deal was basically done.
As for her second brother, she wasn't too worried. He always doted on her and was easy to coax.
Right now, she's worried about Rong Ruo.
Given Rongruo's petty nature, she would never let her elder brother off the hook after what he said today. She was genuinely afraid that Rongruo would do something to her elder brother again.
As if knowing what she was thinking, Yuan Gu snorted coldly and said:
"You are not allowed to go to him."
"He wants to take our general's mansion's treasures, what's wrong with scolding him a bit?"
Yuan Zhao: "..."
Yuan Zhao didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he smiled and remained silent.
What she didn't know was that shortly after they left, Rong Ruo went to the palace.
Seeing that he had come so late, Emperor Xuanwu raised an eyebrow, dismissed everyone, and then said:
"What's wrong?"
How much longer?
Rong Ruo spoke.
If anyone else were here, they would be utterly astonished to see this scene. Rong Ruo was merely a servant, yet he dared to speak to the Emperor in such a tone.
Emperor Xuanwu, however, did not care, or rather, he had become accustomed to it.
"Wait a little longer."
"They are all backed by complex and intertwined relationships, so it won't be easy to bring them down."
As he spoke, Emperor Xuanwu suddenly remembered something and said with some satisfaction:
"You made a very good move this time."
“Yuan Lin’s most precious possession is his daughter. If you marry her, it’s like the entire General’s Mansion will be standing behind you.”
"In the future, you will have more confidence when your identity is restored."
Emperor Xuanwu looked at Rongruo with loving eyes as he spoke:
“Ananda, the people your father has wronged the most are you and your mother.”
"Don't worry, Father will definitely stand up for you and your son."
"However, you'll have to make do a little longer."
