Chapter 230 Retreating to Advance
Everyone didn't know whether Marquis Wanning was a carefree person or just a desperate person.
After hesitating for a long time, he stood up from his seat and walked step by step to the center of the hall.
The emperor saw that he had nothing in his hands and didn't look like he was offering a gift, so he took the initiative to ask, "Marquis Wanning, is everything going well at home recently?"
"With the emperor's care, everything is fine at home."
Lu Shang's ancestors were all founding heroes, and Marquis Wanning had led troops to fight in wars when he was young, so his explosive temper was known to all the civil and military officials in the court. Moreover, when he was young, he had fought with at least half of the officials present.
It was a headache for the late emperor when he was alive, but Marquis Wanning was a bit lucky. As soon as he was punished, there was a problem that he had to step in to solve. It was not until his son Lu Sui grew up that he retreated behind the scenes.
Based on everyone's understanding of him, he will definitely make a scene in front of the emperor when Lu Sui is injured this time.
But almost half a year has passed, and Marquis Wanning has been very quiet, so quiet that everyone thinks he has been possessed by another spirit.
Now, hearing his indifferent response to the emperor's words, the officials could not help but start whispering.
"Marquis Wanning, I know you are angry. Today, in front of everyone, I will also..."
"Your Majesty, I am not angry." Wan Ninghou raised his head and interrupted the emperor, "I am so grateful to you."
He told the truth.
The guilty emperor felt that the Marquis of Wanning was hinting at him, and his face immediately became stern: "Marquis of Wanning, if you have something to say, just say it."
"Your Majesty, I am telling the truth." Wan Ning Hou bowed, "I am grateful to you for sending me such a good daughter-in-law, otherwise Lu Sui's life would not be saved. You don't know that if Bu Wei hadn't taken care of Lu Sui wholeheartedly, Lu Sui's life would have been gone long ago."
When he finished speaking, he turned to look at Yuan Buwei's parents and bowed to them in front of everyone: "Master Yuan, Madam Yuan, you have given birth to a good daughter. I thank you."
It was clearly an expression of thanks, but everyone felt that Marquis Wanning was gritting his teeth.
Moreover, some people who are familiar with the Yuan family know that Yuan Buwei was sent to Yaowang Valley as soon as she was born, and they really don't believe that she has a deep relationship with her parents.
"Marquis Wanning, you are too polite. Bu Wei married into the Marquis Wanning's mansion, so she belongs to the mansion. It is her duty to take care of the young marquis."
"Yes, yes, Marquis Wanning, you are too polite." Madam Yuan immediately echoed her husband's words.
"Yes, Bu Wei did her part, but you two only came once while Sui'er was recovering from her injury, and you scolded Bu Wei." Wan Ning Hou snorted and laughed, looking at the two people who were frozen, "You said it yourself, Bu Wei married into Wan Ning Hou's mansion, so she belongs to Wan Ning Hou's mansion. So, are you scolding her because you are dissatisfied with me, the Wan Ning Hou? Today is such a good occasion, our two families should talk it out, so as not to have any grudges in their hearts, which will affect the relationship between Bu Wei and Sui'er in the future."
"Marquis Wanning... How dare I express dissatisfaction with you?" Yuan Hanshu, sweating profusely, smiled awkwardly, "If Bu Wei is not sensible, you should teach her a lesson."
"Bu Wei is too sensible, that's why you guys bully her." Wan Ning Hou sneered and clasped his fists towards the emperor. "Your Majesty, if it weren't for Bu Wei, the master of Medicine King Valley and a group of disciples, Sui'er would really be gone. In the past six months, Lord Yuan and Madam Yuan have only come to visit once, and they think Sui'er is still a cripple even if he is better. I don't understand, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to explain Lord Yuan and Madam Yuan's intentions to me."
"Marquis Wanning, I am wronged. I never said these words." Yuan Hanshu immediately became angry, "Is it Yuan Buwei who is in front of you..."
"Sir Yuan, Bu Wei is your daughter, not your enemy. Why don't you question me, but instead think that she said something about you in front of me?" Wan Ninghou looked at Madam Yuan coldly, "Madam Yuan, you asked Bu Wei the other day, saying that there were rumors outside that Sui'er was ambushed by the enemy because of a wrong decision, not only was she seriously injured, but also the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers. I want to know, where did you hear this rumor from?"
"I...I didn't say such a thing." Madam Yuan denied it outright. When she turned to face the emperor, she immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the young marquis is my son-in-law. Even if I am confused, I dare not say such a thing."
"What about everyone here? When Sui'er was just injured, have you heard such rumors?" With this sentence, Marquis Wanning dragged all the spectators into the water.
When Marquis Wanning glanced at everyone, everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him.
"Why are all of you silent? So..." Marquis Wan Ning's gaze fell on Madam Yuan again, "Madam Yuan made it up?"
"I, I didn't." Madam Yuan was anxious. She scanned the crowd and finally locked onto a woman. "Madam Zhang, please say something. When I first visited your home, you were the one who told me the news."
Madam Zhang, who was named, jumped up as if she was pricked by a needle. "Madam Yuan, what nonsense are you talking about? I have no grudge against you, why are you framing me?"
"Marquis Wanning, I am a woman who never leaves the house. I have no grudge against the young marquis, so there is no need for me to make up such rumors." Madam Zhang immediately explained to Marquis Wanning, "Madam Yuan deliberately framed me."
"Oh, that's strange. Madam Yuan said you told her, and you said you had no grudge against Sui'er, so where did this rumor come from?" Marquis Wan Ning looked at the emperor again, ignoring his gloomy expression, and said with a fist, "Your Majesty, I have been feeling very upset during the six months that Sui'er has been recovering from her injuries. From my ancestors to my generation, the Lu family has always been loyal to you and the royal family. I don't know who made up this rumor. I hope Your Majesty will investigate and give Sui'er justice."
If Marquis Wanning came up and asked for an explanation for his son, the emperor would definitely say that Marquis Wanning must have heard it wrong.
But now these words came from Madam Yuan first, and Madam Yuan said that it was Madam Zhang who told her.
This proves that at least most of the people present have heard such remarks.
The emperor wanted to calm down the situation, but it was impossible.
"Marquis Wanning, Lu Sui's injury was an accident. I will never allow such rumors to hurt his heart."
"So, Your Majesty, do you recognize Sui'er's efforts and contributions to Dazhao?"
The emperor was stunned for a moment before nodding: "Yes, I approve of him. I have never seen anyone who serves the country and the people as much as he does."
"Then I beg the Emperor to issue an order to take back Sui'er's position as the leader of the Gale Camp."
Wan Ning Hou suddenly knelt down and kowtowed: "Sui'er's injury this time made me realize that I can lose everything, but I must not lose a son."
