Chapter 457 The Yue Family’s Plans and Situation

Seeing her happy appetite, Yue Fuli ate silently without saying a word.

Obviously, she doesn't look like a silly girl. She is calm and collected in everything, especially when facing danger. Her decisiveness and ruthlessness are unmatched by ordinary men. But sometimes, she often shows her emotions on her face without hiding them at all.

Some things that seemed trivial to him, she was very persistent and concerned about.

But she is a girl after all, so it is understandable that she cares about these things. Aren't all the women in the palace like this?

However, he also did not want the inner court to be in chaos, so he raised the issue of elevating his wife to a equal position with his father.

As expected, my father agreed.

This is not because his father dotes on him, but simply because he wants to balance his sons' marriages and strengths.

Marriage is a bargaining chip for gaining benefits and balancing power in the royal palace. Originally, my father planned to form an alliance with the Wei family in Zhongzhou and let him marry a girl from the Wei family.

The Wei family originally controlled Zhongzhou and dominated the region. However, after King Wade of Nannan fell ill, there was no outstanding descendant of the Wei family to support the family. As a result, Zhongzhou began to experience turmoil and its power was greatly affected. Many people wanted to divide up the "fat meat" of Zhongzhou, including Yue Nantian.

So when the Wei family began to consolidate their power through marriage, Yue Nantian also had his eye on it. However, the girl from the Wei family who wanted to marry was a troublemaker and arrogant. She had caused a lot of trouble in recent years and she didn't have much brains, so she could only rely on the Wei family to settle things.

He didn't want to marry a troublemaker, and it just so happened that Si He proposed to him at this time, so he agreed so readily.

As for his father, since he had delegated a lot of power in recent years, he was not too keen on marrying a wife whose family was too powerful and would upset the balance. He had originally planned to contact the Wei family but hesitated for a long time. So when Yue Fuli proposed to marry the daughter of a merchant from Zhongzhou, he readily agreed.

But the Guo family was too ambitious and promised great benefits and a concubine. His father also had his own thoughts. In order to balance his sons, he rejected the Guo family's request and proposed that the Guo family marry another legitimate daughter to be the fourth son's concubine.

The marriage with the Guo family was just a matter of mutual benefit.

Yue Fuli raised his eyes and looked at her smiling face again. Besides the fact that he agreed to marry her because of the situation, there were actually some inexplicable reasons behind his decision.

At night, he still slept on the recliner and everyone got some rest.

The two of them slept soundly, but many people had trouble sleeping that night.

Several girls from the Guo family who married with the Yue family waited for a whole day, but there was no news. They were waiting for news from Guo Zan, but this afternoon, Guo Zan had already set off to return to the Guo family in Zhongzhou with the people sent by the Yue family. He didn't even have the chance to see his sister. The journey was in a hurry.

The Yue family has temporarily agreed to give the remarried daughter of the Guo family to the fourth son, Yuezi, as his co-wife, but the matter is not absolute and has not been completely finalized. It depends on the results of the negotiations with the Guo family before a final decision can be made.

Although this was marrying a concubine, it was also considered marrying a huge fortune, because this time Vietnam's demands were higher, almost wanting to take one-third of the Guo family's wealth. If the deal was successful, it would be real benefit, which naturally made people jealous.

Now, not only other illegitimate sons want to get involved and make plans for this, but even the two legitimate sons are somewhat tempted, but they are not very willing to marry a merchant's daughter as a concubine.

Now, except for Yue Fuqi and two young illegitimate sons, all the others have married. If the daughter of the Guo family marries in, she can only be a junior wife.

Originally, such a marriage could be arranged for the sixth son, Yue Fuqi, who was of the right age. However, the fourth son, Yue Zidan, pushed hard for it, and Yue Fuqi was temporarily planning to give it to him.

Princess Wei originally did not take this marriage seriously, but after learning about such a generous "dowry", she became excited. Unfortunately, the discussion took place in the study, and the female family members were unable to participate in the discussion and only learned about it afterwards.

That night, everyone was in a state of uncertainty. They couldn't understand Yue Nantian's actions. He actually left the good things to the fourth son, a bastard. Before, they thought that he was partial to the fifth son, but now it seems that is not entirely true.

On the second day, some concubines started making a fuss about this matter, clamoring to arrange such a marriage for their own sons as well to show fairness. After all, the fourth son, Yuezi, was only a concubine's son. If he was a legitimate son, they would have tolerated it.

There was a commotion in the backyard, so Si He stayed quietly in her own yard. Since she had just gotten married, she was exempted from visiting her elders morning and evening for three days, which saved her trouble. She asked the servants to pack up and set off the next day.

However, most of the dowry could not be taken with her, after all, she was only temporarily stationed in the city and not moving out.

Yue Fuli goes out early and comes back late, and is very busy.

On the third day, after breakfast, I went to the front hall to bid farewell to my elders and prepare to set off.

Originally, Princess Wei wanted to keep Si He and set some rules, but since they were newlyweds, she didn't want to make things too awkward, so she could only let her go to Wucheng.

The several daughters of the Guo family who were married with him were completely confused. They had not expected that they would have to go to Wucheng on the third day. Their situation had not changed at all, and they had not heard any news about the wives being promoted.

They wanted to find out the news, but they were under strict surveillance and could not reveal any information. Moreover, after the previous lessons, they did not dare to make a fuss and were forced to follow.

The team set off, and the other illegitimate sons also left and returned to their respective garrisons. Only the two legitimate sons were able to stay for a longer period of time and were given more preferential treatment than the illegitimate sons.

The team passed through the long street, and passers-by retreated one after another, and the originally bustling street became a little quiet.

Si He was sitting alone in the carriage. Just as she was about to lean on the cushion beside her and close her eyes to rest, she suddenly felt a faint sense of yin energy!

The breath was very faint, obviously covered by something, but she still noticed it, mainly because in broad daylight, the breath was like a small white flower blooming in a field of green grass, quite obvious.

She thought for a moment, and finally reached out to open the car curtain and looked in the direction of the breath.

It was a teahouse with elegant decoration, a three-story building located in a corner of a bustling street. It did good business and the tea drinkers coming in and out were all dressed in gorgeous clothes and of noble status.

She looked up, and when her gaze moved to a window on the second floor, her eyes met those of a monk.

I've seen this monk before. He was the one who broke into the post station that night and said he could subdue the ghost.

I didn't expect this guy to show up here.

At this time, the monk did not expect that the girl in the carriage would suddenly lift the curtain and look at him, but the next moment, he felt that she looked familiar.
