Chapter 125: The willows and flowers are bright

It is of course a pleasant thing to have a beautiful woman break into her house to find herself.

A kind smile soon appeared on Xiao Fan's face, like a spring breeze.

"Your name is Mo Yu?"

"Yes." The beauty's big eyes blinked and her expression seemed very anxious.

"Do you know me?"

"My maid is the maid next to Princess Jiangdu..."

Xiao Fan suddenly realized and felt nervous. Could it be that the princess could force the marriage to change someone else... continue to force the marriage?

"The princess sent you here?" Xiao Fan couldn't laugh a little.

Mo Yu nodded vigorously: "The palace has issued an order. Ten days later, on the seventh day of next month, the princess will marry the son of Changxing Marquis Geng Qi. The princess sent her maid to meet Lord Xiao..."

Xiao Fan was shocked, and his soft and peaceful face swayed in his mind. He looked at him with affectionate eyes, full of resentment and expectation.

"Princess... do you have something to bring to me?"

Mo Yu raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Fan deeply, saying, "The princess only asked the maid to tell Lord Xiao this news. The princess said...and said..."

"What else do you say?"

Mo Yu's head lowered and said quietly: "The princess said, "You should understand, Lord Xiao will understand. If Lord Xiao still pretends not to understand, then there is no need to say anything, and it is useless to force it."

Xiao Fan suddenly fell silent.

Yes, Xiao Fan is not a fool, how could he not understand the princess’ meaning?

Being a woman is so good that she doesn't have to think about anything. She just throws it to the man to worry about it. When a man gets done, he can only say that he is a competent man. If a man pretends to be deaf and dumb, he is simply a bastard, worse than a pig or a dog.

But the problem is... who Xiao Fan provoked whom? He took this responsibility for no reason, and he could not tolerate himself refusing. Once he refused, he would be a bastard, and he could not deny it even if he denied it.

And the essence of the matter is...he is the person who was molested!

Xiao Fan looked at Mo Yu calmly, and Xing's eyes blinked twice, and his eyes suddenly turned red. Who said that the man would not cry? It was only because he had not arrived at the wronged...

"Mr. Xiao, are you very sad when the princess marry someone else? So... shed tears?" Mo Yu looked at Xiao Fan with curious eyes with a slightly red eye. This girl looked very simple at first glance, and she looked at things one-sidedly, and she only thought about the better.

Xiao Fan wiped his eyes, sniffed hard, and said, "I am indeed crying because of my sadness, but I am not for the princess..."

...but for himself.

From ancient times to the present, it is rare to see people who have become such a rough time. If he tells others about his experiences from entering the court until now, he will be able to earn so many tears of sympathy.

"Master Xiao, let me bring you the maid with the princess words. Sir... do you have something to give to me to take back?" Mo Yu blinked her big eyes and stared at Xiao Fan expectantly.

Xiao Fan's expression remained unchanged, but he was struggling in his heart. He understood Mo Yu's meaning, and he was asking about his decision.

Princess Jiangdu's meaning has been expressed very clearly. She hoped that Xiao Fan would marry her. She did not want to marry someone she didn't like. A seemingly weak and quiet woman could express her feelings to him so boldly when facing the choice of life. It is certain that this is the first time in her life that she has made such a major and extraordinary move.

Should I come forward? Marry her? How is it possible? Even if Xiao Huamei doesn't mind, would Zhu Yuanzhang not mind? Will he allow a minister to destroy the marriage he personally decided for his granddaughter? If he agreed to Princess Jiangdu regardless of the consequences, what would happen? Old Zhu's subordinates have accumulated countless lives, why not have more Xiao Fan?

He turned a blind eye to him? But Princess Jiangdu's beautiful eyes always swayed in front of him, making him feel restless.

Xiao Fan's forehead leaped violently, and a layer of fine sweat had emerged from his handsome cheeks.

It is so pleasing to be a beauty who intends to be entrusted to life. The legend of talented men and beautiful women in ancient times can be praised by future generations. However, behind this glamorous story, there is such a dangerous disaster for life.

If this woman was the woman Xiao Fan really loved, Xiao Fan could do anything for her. He would not allow his woman to marry someone else, and Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial edict would not work! He would even mess up the matter with his life.

But the key to the problem now is... Princess Jiangdu is not the woman he loves!

The two met because of the chaos in front of Wuying Hall, and then they basically had no other interactions. They had never talked about life or ideals. Xiao Fan had basically no other impression except that she was a beautiful and charming beauty.

Now, for a beauty who is only a few times apart and cannot even be considered a friend, Xiao Fan is going to sacrifice his life to challenge Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial authority?

Xiao Fan is not a fool, he can't do this.

He was carrying too many bonds, his promise to Zhu Yunwen, his responsibility to Xiao Huamei, and even his obligation to the old Taoist Taixu...

What should they do if Xiao Fan dies? In order not to let down the princess’s affection, she let down the reliance on him by so many people. This is something that only immature men would do.

Lifting his head and facing Mo Yu's expectant gaze, Xiao Fan immediately made a decision in his heart.

"Please go back and tell the princess what she said... Xiao doesn't understand very much, sorry."

Xiao Fan finally hardened his heart and rejected the princess' implicit request. A man with family and responsibility cannot ignore the consequences when doing things. He walks in the court with every step of murderous intent, and cannot tolerate his own nonsense and impulse.

Mo Yu's expectant eyes suddenly became dull and said unwillingly: "Mr. Xiao, do you really don't understand what the princess means? Do you want the maid to say it again? Listen carefully..."

"No need, I don't understand how many times I say it." Xiao Fan said cruelly again.

Mo Yu stared at him with big eyes and said, "Sir, really don't understand?"

Xiao Fan sighed: "I'm too stupid, I really don't understand..."

Mo Yu was silent for a while and finally said softly: "I understand, I will go back and report to the princess..."

Mo Yu left sadly with disappointment.

Taixu saw the tail from the beginning and after Mo Yu left, Taixu glanced at Xiao Fan with disdain.

"The girls have said this, but you are still pretending to be deaf and dumb. I really despise you. Don't say that you are my apprentice when you go out in the future. You can't afford to lose that person, a ruthless guy!"

Xiao Fan sighed and said, "If I have feelings and righteousness to her, I will be ruthless and unrighteous to you and Huamei. The sub-sages thousands of years ago could not choose between fish and bear's paws. I am just a mortal, and I cannot choose."

"I can't figure it out, what's wrong with saving her once? The princess is deeply in love with you and doesn't want to marry another man. A big girl dares to pursue her own happiness. You, a big man, are still timid, and even a woman is not as good as a girl!"

"Master, you are a monk. You don't know the depth of the court or the dangers. I believe you know the nature of your son today. If I am rashly impulsive, I'm afraid that not only will it affect you and Huamei, but the princess's fate is also extremely bad. If this matter causes turmoil, how can the princess raise her head in her husband's house in the future?"

Taixu couldn't help but speak and snorted: "...I only know that you have a very noble destiny and will also ask for a few wife with noble destiny. This is God's will. As the saying goes, God's will cannot be violated, and you will definitely do things against the heavens..."

Before Taixu could finish his words, Xiao Fan pushed him with a heart full of thought and said with a forced smile: "Old liar, never forget to fool me!"

Then Xiao Fan sighed and went back to the bedroom.

Taixu stroked his beard hatefully, his eyes were so angry that he spit out of fire, and he gritted his teeth and murmured: "Little bastard, I don't believe in Dao, I deserve to have a disaster in your life..."

Zhaoren Palace, Princess Jiangdu’s bedroom.

Mo Yuwei held the skirt and hurried into the side hall.

The soft couch in the side hall is surrounded by red silk curtains, and the fragrance of powder is lingering. The bronze beast-headed incense burning a furnace of sandalwood.

Princess Jiangdu was walking back and forth beside the soft couch, her beautiful face was sometimes red and sometimes white, and her restless and panic look made people feel pity.

"Princess, Your Highness..." Mo Yu hurriedly called out after entering the side hall.

"Ah! Mo Yu, you are back!" Princess Jiangdu greeted her, staring at her with a pair of anxious beautiful eyes, and said anxiously: "Have you seen...he? What does he mean? Say it quickly!"

Mo Yu shook her head with a dim face: "Princess, my maid has to bear the entrusted lord..."

Princess Jiangdu stomped her lotus feet and said, "Didn't you see him?"

Mo Yu said, "I saw you, Lord Xiao, hum! The fool said, he didn't understand what the princess mean..."

Princess Jiangdu suddenly turned pale when she heard this, and her eyes were staring at Mo Yu empty-headed. Her feet became soft and she collapsed on the soft couch.

"He...he still refused to save me..." He closed his beautiful eyes, and crystal tears as big as beans slid down his beautiful and sad face.

Is there anything wrong with pursuing your own happiness?

Xiao Fan, I, a weak woman, dare to take a step forward. What about you? Why don’t you?

The next day, Zhu Yunwen came to Xiao Mansion in a blatant manner.

The grandson arrived, and the necessary etiquette was still necessary, so the middle gate of Xiao Mansion opened wide. Xiao Fan led Taixu and his servants to welcome the gate respectfully. Seeing Zhu Yunwen walking down the imperial carriage, Xiao Fan hurriedly came forward. Before he could salute, Zhu Yunwen grabbed his hand. Then he hurriedly dragged Xiao Fan to the inner hall. While walking, he said to the servants of Xiao Mansion like driving a chicken and chasing a dog: "Okay, okay, you should do whatever you should do, don't do anything useless..."

Xiao Fan was dragged by Zhu Yunwen and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Why are your highness so anxious today?"

Zhu Yunwen did not answer, and walked all the way with anxiety. When he arrived at the inner hall, Xiao Fan retreated, and the only one of them was left in the hall, and there was also a Taixu who was idle and curious.

Zhu Yunwen said anxiously: "The emperor's grandfather issued an order, my emperor's sister will marry Geng Xuan on the seventh day of next month. Do you know this?"

Xiao Fan scratched his head: "Your emperor sister got married, why did one or two come to tell me? I'm not Geng's father..."

Zhu Yunwen's face was dark and stomped his feet in anger: "But... but the emperor sister... Humph! Just pretend to be confused! I don't believe that you don't understand the emperor sister's affection!"

Xiao Fan looked at Zhu Yunwen with a flushed face and said slowly: "I'm not a fool. Of course I understand the princess's affection, but... Your Highness, you know, I'm a good man, and I already have a thrush..."

Zhu Yunwen said in a slight manner: "What is a good man?"

Xiao Fan explained seriously: "A good man just sleeps with only one girl repeatedly, and once he sleeps, he will be able to spend his whole life..."

"This... what a bullshit is this!" Zhu Yunwen was so angry that he almost cursed. It was related to the Emperor's lifelong happiness. This hateful bastard is still talking calmly here, which is really annoying!

Xiao Fan sighed and said, "Your Highness, Sister Ling has feelings for me. This is true. Why don't you ask me if I have feelings for Sister Ling?"

Zhu Yunwen said without hesitation: "Nonsense! Your descendants have been caught by my princess. How could you be unkind to her?"

Xiao Fan wiped his sweat: "This... what's the bullshit? As you think so, aren't rapists all over the world so beautiful?"

Zhu Yunwen was speechless, and then he brushed his sleeves hard and said angrily: "...Anyway, you can do this with the emperor's affairs. She has been loving me since she was a child. Do you have the heart to see her regret for the rest of your life?"

After saying that, Zhu Yunwen left Xiao's mansion in anger.

Xiao Fan looked at his back and sighed and muttered to himself: "...There is no one in the old Zhu family who is reasonable. She has loved you since she was a child. I can't let her regret it for the rest of her life? What is the logic?"

Seven days have passed, and it is only two days before Princess Jiangdu gets married.
