Chapter 1362: Persuasion

nishment, I fear the prince more.""!"Mo Junyi narrowed his eyes, "Liuzi, I promise you Uncle Wu won't blame you. You quickly let me go in and have a look."Mo Junyi couldn't get his way with brute forc...As expected, his wife indeed had this plan in mind.

Lord Anle stared at his wife in disbelief, speechless for a long while.

Lady Hou was not in a hurry, and she didn't feel that she had done anything wrong. She didn't think there was anything wrong with her thinking this way now.

I don't know how long it took, but An Le Hou finally came to his senses. His face wasn't looking too good, and he no longer had that attitude of treating his wife kindly.

"This won't work," he said, his tone utterly indifferent.

What's wrong

“Qiner never even considered marrying into the Ye family. For Madam to think this way from the very beginning is wrong. Over these years, we’ve tried countless ways to prevent the marriage between Anle Houfu and the Ye family, and now that things have finally been resolved with the help of the Princess in Bei Jiang, how can you want to personally push Qiner back into the Ye family”

"How can you not consider that She went to see Ye Er against our wishes, time and time again. What could be her reason Haven't you ever thought that Xiao Qin might actually want to marry Ye Er"

“......” Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Before Lord Anle could speak, Lady Anle scoffed again and continued, “No matter what, she's unwilling to follow Mr. Jiang's son now, and Ye Er is a favorite of the Emperor, with power and status. What if she willingly wants to marry him herself”

"Madam, how could you think so poorly of Qin'er She is not someone who would be swayed by material possessions. You gave birth to her yourself; surely you know her better than anyone."

Now, Madam Hou didn't want to think about these things. Ever since she received a letter from her daughter-in-law, all she wanted was for her sons to hurry back to the capital so that her grandchildren could return and receive instruction from the finest tutors in the city.

What good teachers could there possibly be in such remote places

She is now so eager, just wanting her sons to come back, she would do anything.

Besides, her two sons were transferred out of the capital precisely because of what Xiaoqin did back then.

Why not make amends to her two brothers now

Shouldn't this be the case

Thus, Madam Hou remained resolute. "My lord may not feel heartbroken for his sons and grandsons," she said, "but I cannot bear it. Just thinking about how my son nearly lost his life because of a minor cold chills me to the bone. I would bring them all home right now if I could."

"Now, if we place all our hopes on the Northern Border Prince's Manor alone, Lord, I ask you, does the Prince have ambition for that position Will he truly ascend to it in the end"

"...." The Marquis of Anle was speechless for a moment. Based on his understanding of the King of Beijiang, he was indeed indifferent to that position.

But he always believed that even if it wasn't the King of Beijang who ended up in that position, as long as the King of Beijang spoke for them, whoever was in that position should give the King of Beijang face.

Seeing that he remained silent, Madam Hou narrowed her eyes slightly. “Actually, Master Hou, you know very well yourself. If this matter isn’t resolved sooner, given the current state of affairs in the world today, how can we be certain who will ultimately prevail”

"If this matter is not resolved today, the variables will only grow larger. Since we have a solution now, why don't we use it immediately Should we wait until Ye Er loses favor and has no voice in the emperor's presence before regretting it"

And Anle Hou also knew that the longer it dragged on, the harder it would be to handle. But the current method required sacrificing his daughter.

Both palms and backs of hands are fleshy, how could he possibly choose

Doesn't he want to see his sons and grandsons every day

He wants to too!

To know that every time he plays chess and enjoys tea with those old friends of his, they now have grandchildren filling their homes, their knees warmed by their descendants, each face betraying a satisfaction and happiness they try to contain in front of him, but which always shows through.

Doesn't he ever feel envious seeing such scenes

Doesn't he want his sons and grandsons to come back earlier

He wants it more than anyone else.

Especially as he gets older, his health has been declining in recent years. He's actually quite afraid of it.

I'm afraid something might happen to me, I'm afraid that if anything happens to me, not even a bowl will be broken for me.

Let alone what others might say, I'm afraid even down in the afterlife, their ancestors from the Xiao family would mock him. He had worked his whole life, but after death, he didn't even have a son by his side.

What's the difference between this and the last one

Seeing her husband's face soften slightly, Madam Hou raised an eyebrow and pressed on, "My lord, be honest with your wife. If our two sons were to fall ill again, catching a cold or suffering some minor ailment, and once again be harmed by incompetent doctors, wouldn't you regret it"

"Or we could just talk about our little grandchildren. Children get bumps and bruises so easily, they catch chills and colds much faster than adults if they're not careful."

"Our son is tough, but he nearly couldn't handle this ordeal. Lord, think about it, what if the next person who catches a cold is our grandson They're so young, Lord, can you guarantee they would really pull through"

"...."

The more his wife acted like this, the more anxious he became, and he began to feel that he couldn't delay any longer.

Just then, Madam Hou added the most crucial few sentences, “My lord, as a woman, I don't understand court affairs very well. However, I do know that it's not easy to settle the affairs of the world.”

"At the shortest, three to five years, my lord and I might still be able to wait for that day. But what if it's a long time Ten or eight years, my lord, you and I will both be older. How many years do we have left to wait"

“If we can’t find a way to get them back to the capital while we’re alive, who will remember them after we die And who will help them then”

As expected, Marquis Anle's face changed drastically after hearing these few sentences.

Yes.

If he couldn't bring his two sons back while he was alive, who would pave the way for them then

Seeing her husband's face, Madam Hou knew that her persuasion had worked. She didn't say anything more, letting the Duke of Anle digest it himself.

The two of them sat quietly in the house, not knowing how long they had been there. The people outside did not dare to come in and disturb them.

Until Lord Anle himself saw reason, he looked at his own wife, “My wife is right. Seeking Ye Er's help doesn't necessarily mean sacrificing Qin'er. I'll go to the Ye residence now and ask Ye Er, whatever conditions he sets.”

Upon hearing his words, Madam Hou burst into laughter.

"Madam, why are you smiling"

"My Lord, aren't you forgetting that Ye Er is now a highly trusted favorite of His Majesty He can have anything he wants. What our Hou Mansion possesses now is nothing that he would even find worthy of his attention"

She also wanted to say that besides Xiao Qin, what else in the Hou Mansion, which had been declining for years, would be worth someone like Ye Lord rememberingZhao Li and his sister, I will make sure Han Yun leaves first.""You're afraid of facing Han Yun" An Xuetang raised an eyebrow in surprise.Mo Yunjing didn't want to hide anything from An Xue Tang, and...
