Next: The secret letter reveals the rift between father and son, and releases the smoke to welcome Chunhua(2/2)
"Your fiancée is here, why don't you say anything..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sima Shi pushed Sima Zhao out, and everyone's eyes gathered on him.
Seeing this, Fu Ruoxin smiled:
"Zhao'er, no matter how excited you are, you won't lose your composure, right?"
However, Sima Zhao was in extreme embarrassment. He turned his face and glared at Sima Shi fiercely, but Sima Shi was completely unmoved. Instead, he showed a slight look of joy, as if he was really gloating:
"That's right, Brother Zhao, Yuan Ji will live in our house for a while this time. You have time to spend with her day and night."
After saying that, everyone burst into laughter, and Fu Ruoxin followed the way and said to Sima Zhao:
"Zhao'er, this is the first time Miss Yuanji has come to our house. Just take her around and get to know her."
Even though Sima Zhao was unwilling to do it, it was Aunt Xin whom he respected who asked him to do so. At the same time, he thought that he could take this opportunity to question Wang Yuanji, so he bowed his hand to his death:
"Zhao'er obeys the order..."
After leading Wang Yuanji through the courtyard, Sima Zhao saw that there were no one around and pulled Wang Yuanji into the corner:
"What the hell are you doing? Why are you living in my house?"
Wang Yuanji herself was also full of anger. When she heard Sima Zhao questioning herself in the tone of being tried by a prisoner, she naturally would not give him a good face:
"Please find out the situation first. It's not that I want to live in your house, it's that your father and Aunt Xin personally invited me again and again. It's not that I begged for nothing to move in."
"But even so, don't you understand their intention to let you and me get married? And didn't you say you would marry me? Why do you agree to their invitation?"
Faced with Sima Zhao's series of questions, Wang Yuanji, who is usually very good-character, was also a little impatient. After all, she also understood this, but the main purpose of moving in was to help Zhang Chunhua. This feeling of indescribable pain made her have nowhere to vent, so she had to vent her anger at Sima Zhao:
"You are really strange. Did I say I want to marry you? Why do you care about me? Mrs. Fu invited me to visit Wuyang Hou Mansion. Is it my freedom to agree or not?"
Just as their quarrel became more and more intense, two maids happened to pass by them and saw them hiding in the corner "intimate" and couldn't help laughing. When Sima Zhao and Wang Yuanji were doing this, they noticed that Sima Zhao had been holding Wang Yuanji's hand tightly and never let go...
“Yes…sorry…”
Realizing this, Sima Zhao quickly let go of his hand, and Wang Yuanji's face turned red and his heart beat, and he was so scared that he pushed to the corner of the wall. After all, she had never been grabbed by a man except her grandfather and father.
Sima Zhao, who felt embarrassed, felt that it was difficult to continue talking in such an atmosphere, so he hurriedly left a sentence and fled in a hurry:
"Anyway, you can't live in my house. Hurry up and find an excuse to leave, it will be good for you and me..."
Wang Yuanji, who stayed there, was still embarrassed and angry because Sima Zhao was holding her hand just now. Not only did she blame Sima Zhao for being arrogant and unreasonable, but she also reacted so slowly that she didn't even notice Sima Zhao was holding her hand...
In the following days, Wang Yuanji, in addition to often going back and forth between the Marquis of Wuyang and the Marquis of Wuyang, he accompanied Fu Ruoxin and Xiahou Hui to chat and talk. Not only that, Wang Yuanji had a good relationship with the whole Marquis of Wuyang. Even the most dangerous Mrs. Bai was doing nothing on the surface, ensuring that her true purpose was not noticed by her.
In addition, she had a very close relationship with Sima Yi's young children and grandchildren, and she also hit it off with Sima Yi's eldest daughter Sima Fan, and the two soon became sisters.
Everyone expressed their joy for Wang Yuanji's arrival, and everyone liked this polite girl.
However, Sima Zhao was too evaded to her and would take a detour every time she saw her. Wang Yuanji did not care too much about this, because at this time she tried her best to help Sima Yi take Zhang Chunhua back.
Soon, Sima Yi drove his wife Zhang Chunhua out of the house for more than ten years, causing rumors about Zhang Chunhua's staying in the throne of the Marquis' Mansion in Wuyang. Many people expressed sympathy for Zhang Chunhua and also expressed disgust for Sima Yi, who was flirting with the new and fickle. This also made Sima Yi, who was in a high position in the government, be on the cusp of the storm...
One day, at a dinner where the whole family was almost there, Wang Yuanji, Sima Yi and Sima Shi met with their eyes and suddenly made a suggestion to Sima Yi:
"General, Yuan Ji always travels to and from the Marquis of Wuyang and Marquis of Wuyang because he often visits Mrs. Zhang. He feels it is very inconvenient. Madam has lived outside the mansion all year round. Besides, Mrs. Zhang is also your wife, which has always caused outsiders to discuss this, saying that you openly expel your wife regardless of the relationship between husband and wife. This has also had an adverse impact on your reputation. Therefore, Yuan Ji dared to ask the General to take Mrs. Zhang back. This would not only break the rumors from the outside world, but also save Yuan Ji a lot of trouble."
As soon as Wang Yuanji finished speaking, everyone present couldn't help but look at her with surprise, especially Sima Zhao.
He didn't expect that Wang Yuanji would make this suggestion to his father on the third day of moving in. This surprised him very much, but he was also worried about Wang Yuanji's situation, because he, his brother Sima Shi, and his aunt Fu Ruoxin had advised him to take his mother back in front of his father many times, but Sima Yi did not give him any advice and even got furious.
What worried him did not happen. Sima Yi was not as angry as he treated the Sima brothers, but his face was indeed very bad, so that all his smile became stiff. At the same time, he put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand and kept silent.
At this time, Mrs. Bai, who was sitting on Sima Yi's right, was unhappy when she saw that Sima Yi was no longer happy. She didn't want Zhang Chunhua to come back, just seized this opportunity. She said to Wang Yuanji:
"Miss Yuanji, although you are the wife of your son who has not passed away, you have not married into our Sima family after all. What you said just now is the family affairs of our Sima family. It seems that you shouldn't ask about it now, right?"
Mrs. Bai was obviously refuting Wang Yuanji's words and took the opportunity to attack her. When Fu Ruoxin, Sima Zhao and others were worried about Wang Yuanji, Sima Yi reached out to stop Mrs. Bai, and raised his head to look at Wang Yuanji:
"Yuan Ji, what you said just now, is not unreasonable. Since you want to do this, then leave this matter to you..."
When everyone heard that Sima Yi actually agreed to let Zhang Chunhua come back, everyone looked at Sima Yi with incredible eyes, and Mrs. Bai's face changed drastically:
"Husband..."
"This matter is decided..."
After saying that, Sima Yi stood up and left the seat, and Mrs. Bai followed.
Everyone who stayed in the main hall breathed a sigh of relief. Fu Ruoxin walked to Wang Yuanji and pulled her hand and sighed:
"I didn't expect that it would be useless to try to convince my husband for so many years. Yuan Ji, you can let your sister go home as soon as you open your mouth today. It's amazing..."
Wang Yuanji smiled and said:
"Actually, it's nothing. I'm usually taken care of by my wife, so it's time to repay her if I do something small."
In fact, all of this was planned by Sima Yi, Sima Shi and Wang Yuanji. Sima Yi has always wanted to bring Zhang Chunhua back, but he knew that once he did this, it would not only put everything he had done before, but it would also put Zhang Chunhua in danger again, so he would come up with this worst:
First, let Sima Shi deliberately spread rumors among the public, and even harm his reputation. When the incident became increasingly serious, Wang Yuanji would persuade Sima Yi to take Zhang Chunhua back on the grounds of asking him to take him back on the grounds of asking Sima Yi to worry about his reputation.
In this way, Sima Yi could take Zhang Chunhua home openly without revealing any flaws.
The development of the situation was also under the control of the three of them. After the successful plan, Wang Yuanji actually made a playful face at Sima Shi while everyone left one after another.
Just as Sima Shi was helpless about her immature behavior, he saw that Sima Zhao had already walked behind Wang Yuanji, so he knew the truth and left directly:
"Okay, it's time for me to go back to my room, let's talk to you two."
After Sima Shi left, Wang Yuanji turned around and looked at Sima Zhao who was a little hesitant. She raised her eyebrows and asked:
"Is there anything wrong with me?"
"that..."
Because there was an argument two days ago, it was difficult for Sima Zhao to show his gratitude to Wang Yuanji directly, but he still said with a thorn in his mouth:
"It's really thanks to your help for my mother to come back. Although I begged my father many times before, he refused to pick her up. Unexpectedly, he agreed as soon as you opened your mouth..."
"That's because you're stupid..."
But Wang Yuanji seemed to thank him sincerely and didn't appreciate it. She turned her head and curled her lips and said:
"I'm really surprised. My wife is such a good person, who has a talent like Ziyuan who is both civil and military, and has both good character and academic performance, why did you have such an impulsive personality and a reckless and stupid person who is reckless?"
Although Wang Yuanji's words of "humiliation" made Sima Zhao feel uncomfortable, after all, he was indeed rude before, and Wang Yuanji indirectly helped him so much, he had to endure it.
Seeing that Sima Zhao did not refute him, Wang Yuanji also saw his sincerity and stopped mocking him:
"Okay, OK, I don't remember the villain's life. Besides, this time I'm not helping you but my wife, so you don't have to thank me."
Until now, Sima Zhao finally understood why Wang Yuanji was willing to live in Sima's house:
"You were the one who spread the rumors before?"
Wang Yuanji, who wanted to leave, didn't expect Sima Zhao to say this suddenly, which surprised her. She had to stop and turn her back to Sima Zhao.
After seeing her stop, Sima Zhao guessed that his inference was not wrong:
"I can see that you, like me, don't want to get married to each other, so I've been guessing what your real purpose is from the first day you moved into Sima's house. Now I understand that my mother has been leaving the house for more than ten years and has no rumors. But after you moved in, you have a deep relationship with your mother. Combined with what you did later, I concluded that this matter was planned by you from beginning to end. I'm afraid even the eldest brother has participated, right?"
Although Sima Zhao did not guess that this matter was related to Sima Yi, what he said was almost the same. Wang Yuanji turned around and pretended to be calm and smiled:
"Even if I did it, why do you think Brother Ziyuan has also participated?"
"Because everyone's expressions changed drastically because of your words, but the eldest brother didn't..."
Now Wang Yuanji has a new understanding of Sima Zhao. She did not expect that Sima Zhao was not as willful and reckless as he appeared. Instead, he was as careful as a dust man, observing the truth, and having a bit of a father-brother-in-law style...
"I didn't expect that you would do this for your mother, and even move into our house without hesitation. Although it is difficult for me to understand, I, Sima Zhao, respect you and submit to you, and I know that you are not willing to marry me now. But the marriage between me and you is well known to the world, and it will definitely have an impact on your future marriage leave."
After saying that, Sima Zhao walked to Wang Yuanji and looked at her:
"So to show my respect and admiration for you, I will make three rules with you today: And if... if... if you can't get married because of me, I can... I can take care of you for the rest of my life to make compensation. If you meet someone worth entrusting your life in the future, I, Sima Zhao, will definitely help you and will help you. When our father forces us to get married, I can help you fly far away and hide your identity from now on..."
From Sima Zhao's eyes, Wang Yuanji suddenly found a very attractive light in Sima Zhao's eyes, which made her stand silent for a while. It took her a long time to recover:
