Chapter 305 Bi'er can only be mine
After breakfast, Gu Mengzhen ordered people to prepare the carriage. He personally helped his nephew to sit safely in the carriage. He told him to be careful on the road, and finally did not forget to see him off before leaving the palace.
Zhuang Wei was smiling happily and feeling very proud. When he returned to Youcongju, he saw Fang Zhixuan sitting upright with a stern look on his face.
When he saw that the atmosphere was not right, Zhuang Wei immediately put away his smile, put his hands down humbly, and stood aside.
"I wish you all the best, father."
Fang Zhixuan said coldly, with a serious expression.
"Kneel down."
Zhuang Wei knelt down as he was told.
"Yes."
Fang Zhixuan's eyes were dark and unfathomable, filled with only burning anger.
"Who taught you that in dealing with people, you can take away what others love?"
Zhuang Wei was nervous and timid.
"Your Majesty."
Fang Zhixuan clenched his right hand into a fist and pounded it heavily on the coffee table.
"You are talking nonsense. How dare you bring up the emperor?!"
Zhuang Wei was unhappy.
"How did father know? Did Lord Lin complain secretly?"
Fang Zhixuan frowned angrily.
"Father has already instructed that you should go out of the city and meet up with your brother and sister-in-law through this matter. When I saw you staying in Shengjing, I knew your intention. Why do you need Lord Lin to tell me?"
"Do you still remember where you are leaning towards in the political situation?"
Zhuang Wei was stubborn and refused to show weakness.
"The child remembers."
Fang Zhixuan's face was full of anger, and he scolded and questioned.
"Then how dare you, for your own selfish desires, openly argue, disregard the overall situation, and foolishly demonstrate to Lord Lin?!"
Zhuang Wei's self-esteem was hurt, his heart was beating fast, and he could hardly suppress his indignation.
"Father, what you said is wrong. My child is free to marry, and it should have nothing to do with the government. Father has the right to ask, but not to interfere. It is inappropriate to punish my child to kneel for this matter."
"Mr. Gao does not belong to Mr. Lin. Even if you get married, you can still get divorced. What's more, a marriage contract is just a piece of waste paper."
"I like her too. Why does father support Lord Lin and turn against his own family?"
"Is father the child's father or Lord Lin's father?"
Fang Zhixuan roared like a gust of wind and heavy rain.
"You are brave!"
Zhuang Wei clenched his teeth and tried hard to suppress his fear.
"My son is angry about injustice, why is my father angry?"
Fang Zhixuan calmed down his anger and tried his best to remain calm.
"Do you know why Lord Lin hasn't married Lord Gao yet?"
Zhuang Wei looked worried.
"Please teach me, father."
Fang Zhixuan analyzed the pros and cons carefully.
"What you call a piece of waste paper is a marriage contract in name only, but it is actually a means of getting the upper hand. If Mr. Gao is not allowed to return home for the rest of his life, the marriage contract will be enough to make Mr. Lin naturally stay dormant and accompany Prince Dijin to grow up; but if Mr. Gao is able to return home, the marriage contract will become a scheme for the emperor to win over the Gao family."
"After Lord Lin married Lord Gao, the Emperor must have some requests. He could use Lord Gao to alienate Prince Di Jin from the Gao clan, or he could use Lord Gao to change the power of the Supervisory Office... There are so many purposes that it's hard to list them all."
"That's why Lord Lin would use other things as an excuse to try to postpone the wedding date."
"If you marry Mr. Gao, the result will be the same."
"But, what is your status? What is Lord Lin's status? If anything happens to him, Prince Dijin will protect him; if anything happens to us, the emperor can kill us at will. When that happens, what are you going to do? You can't even take care of yourself, so how are you going to protect Lord Gao?"
Zhuang Wei complained casually and expressed his dissatisfaction.
"Please forgive me for speaking frankly. We were not able to obtain the protection of King Dijin because of my father's inability to gain his trust. How can I give up my love and take the blame for him?"
He turned away and continued to kneel, unwilling to look his father in the face.
"At worst, I'll just hold off and not get married for now."
"In short, Bi'er can only be mine."
Fang Zhixuan sighed helplessly, and Xiaoxiao left his seat.
"Then you should kneel down and reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors. When you understand, you can stand up."
"During this period of time, your father has been personally taking care of you. If you feel that you are not worthy of me, you can try to see if you have the ability to escape!"
Zhuang Wei could no longer bear it and spoke out loudly.
"I have already said that kneeling as punishment is against etiquette!"
Fang Zhixuan ignored it and walked away.
Shortly after the door closed, someone pushed it open.
Zhuang Wei was pleasantly surprised.
"Did father regret it?"
Chu Lantong responded softly.
"it's me."
Zhuang Wei's expression of joy remained unchanged as he bowed obediently.
"Mother, you came here to avoid punishment for your child, I suppose?"
Chu Lantong knelt beside her son, looked him in the eye, and tried to persuade him kindly.
"You are indeed wrong in this matter."
Zhuang Wei was filled with anger, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
"My mother is partial to me. She only cares about my younger siblings and doesn't care about me."
Chu Lantong was heartbroken and felt extremely sad.
"How am I biased? Are you really so angry that you are confused? How dare you speak so harshly to your mother?"
Zhuang Wei still refused to accept.
"My child knows his fault."
There was a hint of disappointment in Chu Lantong's eyes, and tears were rolling down her cheeks.
"Wei'er, why are you so unruly? How can you be so heartless and unscrupulous when courting a woman? Is Mr. Gao just a toy in your heart?"
Upon seeing this, Zhuang Wei lost his courage and started to complain about his grievances.
"What do you mean by improper? Mother really misunderstood."
"Even if the child did it, I would not be disrespectful to her. At most, I would sleep with her clothes on and pretend to leave the red mark, so as to discourage Lord Lin."
Chu Lantong spoke in a gentle tone and softly.
"You said this lightly, but if you really put it into practice, it will damage the reputation of Master Gao. How can she hold her head up high in the future?"
Zhuang Wei refuted with confidence.
"I will marry her, so why can't I hold my head up high?"
Chu Lantong sighed helplessly.
"Since advice is useless, you should kneel down and reflect on yourself. I am leaving now."
When Zhuang Wei heard this, he became angry again.
"My father and mother punished me for no reason, and I am dissatisfied!"
Chu Lantong ignored him and got up and left.
After a while, the door was pushed open again.
Zhuang Wei pursed his lips and smiled.
"I think mother is distressed?"
Feng Yihe's voice came leisurely from behind him.
"Secretary General Feng Yihe is here to greet you. I hope Lord Zhuang is doing well."
Zhuang Wei's smile faded and he responded seriously.
"Master Feng is polite, please take a seat."
"Why are you here?"
Feng Yihe chose the nearest chair and sat down promptly.
"I heard that Lord Zhuang was in trouble, so I came to help."
Zhuang Wei raised his eyes proudly and looked at him with contempt.
"Are you here to discuss cooperation?"
Feng Yihe looked down on people with a contemptuous attitude.
"Master Zhuang is worthy of being a descendant of the Fang clan."
Zhuang Wei knelt there safely, smiling disdainfully.
"My father is trapped by someone else. I'm afraid you can't save me."
Feng Yihe disagrees.
"With our combined wisdom, we can surely defeat him, right?"
Zhuang Wei glanced at her, his eyes cunning.
"It seems that Lord Feng still has feelings for Lord Lin?"
Feng Yihe went straight to the point and asked without beating around the bush.
"If you marry her, it will be a perfect match for me and Brother Mu. It will be the best of both worlds. Are you willing to do it, Master Zhuang?"
Zhuang Wei gave a mysterious smile.
"It doesn't hurt to try."
Feng Yihe stood up immediately.
"Your father has already made plans. If you don't leave soon, I will have to stay here for a long time. Now that we have reached an agreement, I will go first and work with you from inside and outside to break the impasse."
Zhuang Wei's eyes are mysterious and charming, and he remains calm in the face of emergencies.
"Master Feng, take care."
After making sure that Feng Yihe was far away, Fang Zhixuan returned to Youcongju.
"She fell into the trap?"
Zhuang Wei responded respectfully.
"Yes."
Fang Zhixuan took a cushion and gently placed it next to his son.
"Before leaving, Fengzhe left a message for us to use a trick to hold Feng Yihe back for a while. I had no idea at first, but thanks to your suggestion, it's just hard work for you, and you have to kneel down and suffer."
Zhuang Wei knelt without moving, insisting on not using any cushion.
"Father, your words are very sincere. I am happy to help King Di Jin achieve great things."
