Zou Yangyao looked at Minister Tai patiently without saying a word. Minister Tai then sternly questioned him, "I'm asking you, do you know why she agreed to help the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
"Because I rescued her from the Prince's Mansion, I'm willing to help you out of gratitude!" Zou Yangyao didn't expect Minister Tai to be so serious just to say this...
Minister Tai snorted, "How dare you think that? As expected, you have no idea what Banxue is thinking!"
Zou Yangyao looked at Minister Tai strangely, not knowing what he wanted to say.
"Banxue likes a knight." Minister Tai stared at Zou Yangyao, as if he didn't want to miss any emotion on Zou Yangyao's face.
Zou Yangyao's expression was originally calm, but at this moment, his brows furrowed even deeper.
"That knight is you!" Minister Tai spoke again.
"So what does the Minister want?" Zou Yangyao asked calmly.
Minister Tai frowned and said, "My granddaughter, the Minister of Justice, has taken a fancy to you, boy. What do you think?"
Zou Yangyao remained silent. Minister Tai stroked his beard and said, "Now it seems that her suffering from the plague is also related to you. If it weren't for the fact that she has you in her heart, I would have exposed you and let the Queen Mother arrest all of you vicious people!"
"But she likes you so much. If I really hurt you, wouldn't it make her sad? If you want to keep her in the city for one more day, fine! Then marry her!"
Minister Tai's tone didn't sound like he was joking at all.
Zou Yangyao also listened very carefully. Before he could speak, Minister Tai stood up and said, "If you feel embarrassed, I will have my servants pack up and prepare to send him out."
Zou Yangyao then spoke: "There is still a wife at home!"
"Your wife is just a female doctor with some medical skills! Without status and background, how can she be your legal wife? But since you've already married her, I shouldn't ask you to divorce her. I want Banxue to be your concubine!"
Zou Yangyao was originally sitting calmly in his seat, but at this moment, Zou Yangyao could not sit still, so he stood up.
His face was gloomy. "Tai Banxue is your granddaughter, Shangshu, but you are using her life to threaten the younger generation. You are truly admirable. How could I care less about her life or death?"
After saying that, he snorted and walked out.
Minister Tai looked at Zou Yangyao's stubborn back and warned, "If Banxue doesn't make it, I will go before the Queen Mother and personally testify that it was you who hired someone to write the testimony for Banxue!"
Zou Yangyao paused, obviously not expecting that Minister Tai would find out this.
He frowned and didn't respond immediately. Minister Tai stroked his beard, his face full of confidence: "You worked so hard to plan this, but if it's all for the position of a co-wife, everything will be lost. The responsibility is all on you!"
Zou Yangyao took a deep breath, walked out without responding.
Minister Tai stood still and didn't chase after him. Instead, he said, "I'm waiting for your news!"
After Zou Yangyao left, he returned to the general's mansion and asked how Xiao Chuer was doing now.
The servant responded respectfully: "Madam has locked herself up in her room..."
Before the servant could finish his words, Zou Yangyao had already started walking towards the room. The servant had to swallow back whatever he wanted to say.
He pushed open the door and walked in.
Zou Yangyao walked straight to Xiao Chuer's bed. Looking at Xiao Chuer with her eyes closed on the bed, he squatted down, reached out and held her hand, staring at her sick face.
"Chu'er, there's still a difficult problem that I need to make a decision on. How about you wake up and give me some advice?"
The person on the bed didn't react at all, his eyes were still tightly closed, without any reaction.
Inside the Tai Mansion, Minister Tai also walked to Tai Banxue's bed and looked at her.
For those who have been suffering from the plague for such a long time, I am afraid that their chances of survival are slim.
Since she was about to die, it was natural to fulfill her wish and let her marry Zou Yangyao and become the legal wife of her beloved man.
He stood beside Tai Banxue and sighed, "Banxue, how about I have someone prepare your wedding dress for you?"
Tai Banxue did not respond and still kept her eyes closed, but Minister Tai smiled slightly, and that smile was very kind.
He sent someone to choose a wedding dress for Tai Banxue, and he personally chose the phoenix crown for her.
Tai Banxue's personal maid stood aside, wiping her tears and crying.
Minister Tai felt that it was unlucky and asked the person to leave.
In the evening, Minister Tai sent someone to the general's mansion to ask Zou Yangyao what he thought.
Soon, the servant returned and reported: "Master, the general said that if Xiao can wake up, he will agree to your request. If Xiao doesn't wake up, I'm sorry, I can't do it!"
Minister Tai waved his hand tiredly and let the people go.
After nightfall, Minister Tai still stayed by Tai Banxue's side and never left. Some people came to dissuade him, but were driven away by Minister Tai.
In the middle of the night, Tai Banxue started coughing, then slowly woke up. Seeing someone sitting by the bed, she was a little surprised: "Grandpa?"
Minister Tai woke up with a start and was extremely excited to see Tai Banxue awake!
"Come, come, call the doctor!"
He helped Tai Banxue sit up. Tai Banxue looked at the phoenix robes and phoenix crowns displayed in the room in surprise...
It was the bride's thing, but she...
Facing Tai Banxue's doubts, Minister Tai took the initiative to explain: "Banxue, I have arranged a marriage for you. Marry Zou Yangyao!"
