Chapter 625: Chapter 625: Can I go see him?_1 Chapter 625: Chapter 625: Can I go see him?_1 Li Wuyu cried yesterday, crying as she pleaded with Pri Minister Li to consent to her marriage to Wang Youbao.
However, Pri Minister Li did not agree at first, leaving Li Wuyu to kneel and cry continuously.
It was only later, after Pri Minister Li heard the reports from the subordinates who escorted Li Wuyu ho, stating that Wang Youbao’s character was exceptionally good, though a rchant, he had an excellent reputation, especially for being particularly close with An Jing and Xiao Changyi.
Pri Minister Li didn’t pay much attention to An Jing but, as soon as he heard of Wang Youbao’s good relationship with Xiao Changyi, he imdiately believed that Wang Youbao must indeed have an impeccable character.
It must be known that Pri Minister Li had always held Xiao Changyi in very high regard.
Even though Xiao Changyi was aloof and reclusive, avoiding contact with people, Pri Minister Li respected him, believing that Xiao Changyi was born to guard Xiyun; with Changyi, the Emperor of Xiyun felt secure, the Crown Prince felt secure, he, as the Pri Minister, felt secure, and all the citizens of Xiyun felt even more at ease.
And the reason Pri Minister Li had not married off his daughter Li Wuyu wasn’t that there were no suitors coming to propose, but because those who did co did not et his approval, none caught his eye, feeling that even if his precious daughter married into wealth and status, she wouldn’t be happy, so he kept delaying, turning his precious daughter into an old maid, yet he still hadn’t arranged a match for her.
Now, with Wang Youbao having an extrely good character and also being the one his precious daughter adored, he knew that marrying her off to him would make his daughter happy, and he would be at ease as well.
With this thought, Pri Minister Li agreed, consented to his daughter’s marriage to Wang Youbao.
When Li Wuyu heard that Pri Minister Li had agreed, she finally stopped crying.
Thinking back on how she knelt and cried for so long yesterday, Li Wuyu felt sowhat embarrassed. If she had known how much her father revered her ntor, she would have just directly asked her ntor to personally intervene on her behalf, sparing her all this trouble.
“Father, my Youbao truly has an excellent character,” suddenly, Li Wuyu praised her Youbao with great excitent. “You saw today, doesn’t he seem unlike any common rchant?”
Pri Minister Li recalled Wang Youbao’s handso and polite deanor, and his annoyance subsided, nodding, “He doesn’t seem like one indeed.”
“Father, let tell you,” Li Wuyu suddenly lowered her voice to a secretive whisper that only she and Pri Minister Li could hear, “the Crown Prince also thinks the sa, the Crown Prince said that day that my Youbao doesn’t resemble a rchant at all, but rather like soone who manages rchants.”
Pri Minister Li’s heart jolted, he then sternly scolded, “You careless talker, you must never say such a thing to anyone else, keep it to yourself, do you hear ?”
Having a son-in-law used by the court was certainly good, but the fear was that he might be taken down by envy before he even got a chance to be employed.
One must know that position is not only important, it’s a lucrative one, and countless people yearn for it…
If it was known that the Crown Prince already had a favored candidate, that candidate would certainly be the target of countless envious eyes.
And he didn’t want his daughter to beco a widow.
Li Wuyu imdiately nodded as if mashing garlic, “I hear you, Father! It will rot in my stomach!”
She actually also thought this was a grave matter, hence, she only spoke of it this one ti to her father.
Subsequently, Li Wuyu turned playful and smiling again, “Father, may I go see my Youbao?”
Pri Minister Li snorted, “No, you may not.”
“Then what if I sneak out?” Li Wuyu shalessly asked, not minding the idea of sneaking out through the back door at all.
