Chapter 179 Yuwen Father and Son Scam Each Other
"My dear minister," Yang Guang glanced at Yuwen Huaji and said leisurely, "and yours?"
This old man is really getting on in years; he doesn't even have this much sense anymore.
His performance was far inferior to that of his own son.
Perhaps it's time to consider changing the position of prime minister.
"Yes, Dad, what's your response?"
Yuwen Chenglong turned his head, unable to suppress the smile on his face.
He saw the disdain in Yang Guang's eyes, and he was secretly overjoyed.
His father's position as prime minister is probably in jeopardy.
"I..." Yuwen Huaji stood there, stunned, with fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
He then prepared this piece of blood jade.
Now that the Blood Jade has been stolen by his rebellious son, what will he do to express his gratitude?
Since things have come to this, the only option is to spend money to avoid further trouble.
"Your Majesty," Yuwen Huaji gritted his teeth and bowed, "I am willing to give eight shops to the Second Young Master. These are all thriving shops that bring in a fortune every day!"
He rattled off the names and locations of eight shops in one breath, and with each shop he named, Yuwen Chenglong's smile diminished a little.
These are all his shops!
"Okay, at least you've put your heart into it."
Yang Guang was very satisfied after hearing this and nodded.
"Thank you very much, Prime Minister."
Looking at Yuwen Huaji, Lü Xiao suddenly felt that this old guy, whom he used to find displeasing, was now much more pleasing to the eye.
"It is all my duty," Yuwen Huaji replied respectfully.
Seeing that Yang Guang and Lü Xiao were both satisfied, he finally felt relieved.
Although this wave resulted in a huge financial loss, it both pleased His Majesty and strengthened the relationship with Prince Shuo, making it a very profitable deal!
As for who lost out...
Yuwen Huaji glanced at Yuwen Chenglong, whose face had turned pale.
That's none of his business.
"And you! What about your response?"
Yuwen Chenglong was furious, but he couldn't vent his anger on his own father, so he could only take it out on Pei Yuanqing.
This kid is still a child himself, dirt poor, and has nothing of value to offer.
In such an important situation, he must be thoroughly humiliated!
"It's all in my heart!" Pei Yuanqing patted his chest, speaking with righteous indignation. "From now on, whoever Brother Er tells me to beat, I'll beat!"
He has nothing of value; his only wealth is his strength and martial arts skills.
Except for Lü Xiao and Yang Guang, who cannot be fought, as long as Brother Yan gives the order.
Whether they are royalty or fierce generals, they all have to take three blows from him!
"You make it sound so nice to talk about getting something for nothing." Yuwen Chenglong shook his head, looking disdainful.
Sure enough, spending too much time with me has made even Pei Yuanqing so shameless.
"Alright, I'll accept it on Yan'er's behalf." Lü Xiao smiled.
He truly didn't care what Pei Yuanqing gave him.
With his current status and wealth, what gold, silver, or jade wouldn't he have?
On the contrary, this sentiment, this promise to be there whenever needed, is more precious than any treasure.
"Your Majesty," Lü Xiao put Lü Zhen down and looked at Yang Guang, "I'm going to see Ruyi."
It's been so long, the delivery room should be cleaned up by now.
Regardless, we should go and see that great contributor to the Lü family.
Yang Guang nodded and urged, "Go quickly."
When Lü Xiao wasn't around last time, he could sense that his daughter was somewhat disappointed, but she never said it out loud.
This time, we must make up for it no matter what.
Lü Xiao strode into the delivery room.
The room had been cleaned up, and the smell of blood had been dispelled by incense, replaced by a faint, sweet fragrance.
A crack was opened in the window, letting in a little fresh air and stirring the thin gauze curtains.
Yang Ruyi leaned against the couch, her hair still a little messy, but her face had regained some color.
She looked towards the doorway, and when she saw Lü Xiao enter, her eyes curved slightly.
Lü Xiao strode to the bedside and sat down.
He raised his hand and gently tucked a strand of sweat-dampened hair from her forehead behind her ear.
"Another son," she said softly, her voice still a little weak, but unable to hide her pride. "Our family's great undertaking is about to be completed!"
Lu Xiao looked at her, unsure of what to say.
great cause.
Another major undertaking.
Having just given birth and narrowly escaped death, the first thing she thought of when she opened her eyes was still her grand project.
Forget it.
As long as she's happy.
"I'm not having any more children; this is the last one."
Yang Ruyi leaned against the soft pillows, her face still a little pale, but her tone had returned to its usual crispness.
After worrying about her grand plans for so long, she finally remembered to worry about herself.
Giving birth is truly a very painful experience.
She never wanted to experience that excruciating pain, that feeling of being torn in two, again in her life.
However, to be fair, she did enjoy the days before giving birth.
Thinking of this, Yang Ruyi's lips curled up slightly, and a faint smile appeared on her face.
"Okay, the last one."
Lü Xiao nodded.
Two sons, supporting and helping each other, are more than enough.
He was afraid he wouldn't be able to handle one more.
"Oh, by the way, His Majesty gave him a name," Lü Xiao added, recalling the matter, "a single name, Yan."
"Yan?" Yang Ruyi murmured, nodding slightly. "Yes, it sounds nice."
The sun and the moon shine brightly, and the sun shines brightly.
The character 晏 signifies a clear sky, bright sunshine, peace, and harmony.
This character represents both Yang Guang's expectations for the world and his blessings for his grandson.
Lu Xiao didn't speak, but just sat quietly by the bed, watching her breathing gradually become steady and long.
Once she was completely asleep, he gently got up, tucked her in, and left the delivery room.
"How is it?" Yang Guang asked in a low voice when he saw Lü Xiao come out.
"They've already rested."
Lu Xiao also lowered his voice.
"I'll head back now." Yang Guang handed the baby to the wet nurse beside him, gave her a few more instructions to take good care of the infant, and then left with his entourage.
No sooner had Yang Guang been seen off than Yuwen Huaji approached.
"Your Highness, I shall take my leave now."
He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, his face crinkling with smiles.
Then he grabbed Yuwen Chenglong's sleeve and dragged him away.
"I'm not leaving! I want to stay here!"
Yuwen Chenglong struggled desperately, kicking his legs wildly on the ground like a pig being dragged to be slaughtered.
He knows his dad too well; if he goes back now, it's bound to be bad news!
His father must remember about that piece of blood jade!
"What are you staying for?" Yuwen Huaji asked with a forced smile. "Come home with me. I have something good to show you."
"I won't watch! I won't watch anything!"
Yuwen Chenglong clung tightly to the door frame, his fingernails digging into the cracks in the wood.
Pei Yuanqing watched from the side, his eyes darting around, and suddenly an idea came to him.
He rushed forward in three strides and grabbed Yuwen Chenglong around the waist.
"Prime Minister! Let me help you take him home!"
"Excellent, excellent!" Yuwen Huaji was overjoyed. "Thank you very much, Young General Pei!"
He rolled up his sleeves and let out a deep breath.
If we don't teach this rebellious son a lesson today, he's not Yuwen Huaji!
"Pei Yuanqing! You dare to harm me!"
Yuwen Chenglong stared wide-eyed in terror and struggled desperately.
But his strength was nowhere near that of Pei Yuanqing.
"Of course not!" Pei Yuanqing smiled innocently. "I'm just letting you experience the boundless love of a father!"
