Chapter 838 Save Sister-in-law
Luo Yu knelt on her knees, weeping bitterly.
"I am wrong, please forgive me, sir."
"Please, sir, please show some mercy. I am truly overwhelmed."
"You can go to brothels or take concubines, I agree. It's all fine with me."
Zhuang Wei knelt down beside her, gently wiped her tears, and coaxed her patiently.
"Other women would cherish their husbands like this, why do you feel so distressed?"
"Do you know how many people in the world envy you?"
"Since I've given my love to you, I haven't thought about anything else. What are you thinking about? How can you push me away?"
"Ma'am, be obedient. I do this for your own good."
In fear, Luo Yu trembled repeatedly, but she still looked pretty and charming, and her every move was graceful.
"Yes, I understand. Master, it's just love."
"But, I am really unable to deal with it. I beg you to show some mercy, Master."
Seeing this delicate state, even though there were servants coming and going around, Zhuang Wei could hardly suppress his anger, and his eyes unconsciously showed a hint of love.
"You say so, actually, with great interest."
Luo Yu shook her head suddenly, and tears quickly fell.
"No, no, I didn't..."
Zhuang Wei's eyes moved up and down, taking in his wife's beauty, and the scene that emerged in his mind was already a scene of joy.
"Madam, don't panic."
"We are close by, so let's find a guest room and have fun before the busy work hours come."
"Mianqing bed, I have plenty of ways to give you strength."
Seeing him reaching out his hand, Luo Yu was frightened and immediately dodged.
"Master, please spare me, please..."
Zhuang Wei was so anxious that he lost his patience.
"Madam, if you don't obey me, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Unable to wait any longer, he had no choice but to act mysteriously and cleverly deceive.
"I have never used my skill of controlling women on you. Madam, are you curious?"
"Compared to your experience in the brothel, my methods are more varied and more ruthless. How about I tell you about it first?"
Luo Yu was afraid, so she just kept her head down.
"I know I was wrong."
Zhuang Wei smiled with satisfaction and spread his arms.
"Come, let me hug you."
Luo Yu knelt down, approached him, and threw herself into his arms.
"Yes."
Zhuang Wei Ranran was full of care. He picked her up and ran towards the nearby guest room at great speed.
When Zhuang Xianhui woke up and asked where her brother and sister-in-law were, they had already gone to Tongshitai.
Since her sister-in-law asked for help, she must save her.
Normally, she couldn't enter the Tongshitai without official business. However, the Tongshitai was full of "our" people, and if she insisted on going in, the adults would not stop her.
Zhuang Xianhui first asked her maid to tell her husband that she was going out for something, and then rode a fast horse to Tongshitai.
Unexpectedly, Zhuang Wei had a better move. He used the excuse of training secret guards and took Luo Yu with him to hide in the deep forest in the western suburbs.
There are countless deep forests in the western suburbs. The place where the secret guards are trained is a secret of Yuesheng, and the laws and regulations are fixed. Zhuang Xianhui has no right to ask about it.
She had no choice but to return home, report to her father and ask for advice.
Fang Zhixuan smiled indifferently.
"It's nothing, don't worry about it."
Zhuang Xianhui was somewhat surprised and confused, as well as somewhat indignant.
"Father, what do you mean by this? How can you treat my sister-in-law so coldly?"
"Could it be that even you look down on your sister-in-law and dislike the fact that she comes from a brothel?"
Fang Zhixuan frowned and looked sternly.
"What are you talking about? That's nonsense."
He paused slightly.
"I don't want to be too explicit about my opinion. This is the interest of husband and wife."
"You are still young and don't understand anything."
Zhuang Xianhui was anxious.
"Why don't I understand? I understand."
"That's not a marital affair."
"Father, you can see clearly that my sister-in-law is really asking for help sincerely."
Fang Zhixuan remained unmoved.
"It's not that I didn't notice it, it's that you misjudged it."
"Wei'er is truly moved this time and is determined not to hurt Yu'er."
Zhuang Xianhui retorted.
"Who stipulated that true love must not hurt others?"
"My father's remarks are unreasonable and without basis."
"I think my father doesn't care about his daughter-in-law's life. He looks down on her and thinks that she is just an outsider and an orphan. If she dies, then so be it. Wei'er can just remarry her."
Knowing that it was a provocation, Fang Zhixuan still couldn't hold back his anger.
"Why would I have such delusions? You are just talking nonsense."
Zhuang Xianhui took advantage of the victory and continued to persuade him eloquently.
"If my sister-in-law leaves, she can never be found again."
"If you care, father should help and be on guard against any eventuality."
"The child is still young, and the older brother is not yet fully sensible. It is normal for him to be reckless and not use his hands properly, right? As a father, you should be careful to discipline him. How can you not be worried?"
"Because of your incompetence, you harmed a good girl, pitiful and unfortunate life. It's too late for the father to realize his mistake later."
Fang Zhixuan rebuked.
"It's getting more and more ridiculous. Where do you get these fallacies from?"
He changed the subject.
"But, you said, it makes sense to be on the safe side."
"Weier is a self-indulgent person who has never known self-control. She has just gotten married and might..."
Obviously she had convinced her father, a hint of surprise flashed across Zhuang Xianhui's eyes.
"Father, you are right. This is exactly what I mean."
"My sister-in-law looks so pitiful, father, please save her."
Fang Zhixuan thought deeply.
"Well, let me think of an idea."
"Have you been to Tongshitai?"
Zhuang Xianhui reported the situation and gave suggestions.
"Well, they said that my elder brother went to the western suburbs to train secret guards."
"The person who replied did not seem to be lying, but whether this was true or not, I don't know."
"Whether it's true or not, father can ask to see the emperor and ask him to issue an order to summon my elder brother."
"Big brother must be prepared. The emperor may have been appeased. If the emperor is slightly biased, he will definitely stand on big brother's side when I go to ask for an audience. But father is different. The emperor always puts you first."
Fang Zhixuan's expression was somewhat stern.
"Wei'er knows you are helpless, so he will ask me for help. He will definitely be prepared for the method you can think of."
"My request to see the Emperor may not work."
Zhuang Xianhui looked embarrassed.
"What should I do?"
Fang Zhixuan decided.
"I'm going to the Tongshitai to inquire about the location of today's hidden guard training."
Zhuang Xianhui was shocked.
"Father, please think twice. This is against the law."
"Prince Li is about to return to the capital, and the officials of Beizhaotai are holding a grudge against you. If they take the opportunity to cause trouble, they will deal with you. When that happens, with everyone watching and witnessing, it will be inconvenient for Prince Dijin and the Emperor to protect you."
"How can you explain it?"
Fang Zhixuan was irritable.
"So I told you to stop meddling in other people's business, but you didn't listen."
"Yu'er may not be in danger, but I am probably not. How can I defeat everyone in Beizhaotai who are working together?"
"You are not trying to save my sister-in-law, you are clearly trying to harm me."
Zhuang Xianhui was flustered and began to stammer.
"Uh... my child... I can't just ignore my sister-in-law..."
Fang Zhixuan called a halt.
"Okay, okay, don't say any more."
"I will be careful."
Zhuang Xianhui followed her father and left her seat.
"I will accompany you to investigate. If anything goes wrong, I will take the blame."
Fang Zhixuan glared at her and gave the order solemnly.
"Wait quietly, don't follow me!"
Zhuang Xianhui lowered her head and closed her eyes.
"Yes."
Fang Zhixuan found out Zhuang Wei's whereabouts from the people at Tongshitai without leaving any trace.
The father and daughter hurried over.
As a result, the eucalyptus forest in the western suburbs was empty, and there was not a single hidden guard in sight.
