The Great Queen Mau Lewat
Chapter 290 Side story (A Guang story)
The arrival of A Guang was warmly welcomed by his entire family, except Sima Feng who was currently at the border.
Xu Xiang, who was initially afraid that he would get a look of rejection from the A Guang family, was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief when the A Guang family accepted him with open arms. Other than Father A Guang who had a cold face, he thought his mother and sister were very warm.
" Your father is very scary. " Whisper Xu xiang as they walked towards the dining room.
A Guang chuckled. He forgot to tell his father. So he explained before his future wife misunderstood.
" My father will be tame when alone with my mother. So don't think too much. Because that's his attitude. As long as he doesn't talk, it means he agrees. " Reply A Guang also in a whisper.
" Where is your brother? why is there only A Fei? " Living for a long time in the shu Empire left him with no knowledge of Sima Feng who was at the border.
" He lives on the border. If you're wondering what he looks like. Then you'll see my father. Both his face and nature were not much different from that of father. "
Xu xiang nodded in understanding.
The atmosphere of lunch full of warmth made xu xiang no longer feel awkward.
Here he saw the queen, the woman of high status was no different from the wife out there. She served her husband just like any other wife.
A Fei who was known as the emperor's favorite daughter was not like what was rumored as a spoiled princess who had a annoying nature.
Xu Xiang actually sees her as an independent woman with a warm and easy to blend in. That was why Xu xiang was already able to be good friends with him even though this was their first time meeting.
Rumors are terrifying. Full of lies.
As for the Emperor, Xu xiang could not elaborate. Because everything is in accordance with the words of A Guang.
" When did you get married? "
Xu xiang choked as the woman who was about to become his mother-in-law asked.
He did not expect that this question would come out so soon.
A Guang chuckled at Xu xiang's response. " Mom don't surprise him. If possible, you can arrange it as soon as you can, ma'am. "
And A Guang's answer successfully made both Xu xiang's eyes bully.
Is this man shameless? Even he has not proposed to her officially but has asked for marriage to be done as soon as possible.
As if he could read Xu xiang's mind, A Guang calmly said. " I'll send someone to propose to you as soon as possible. But first let's finish all the pending business. "
Xu xiang smiled and nodded for sure. This guy is too much of a surprise.
**********
Somewhere else.
A man was drinking wine. Half drunk he curses the woman he knows is his sister.
" This is all because of ***** that. If he comes back I'll sell him to a brothel. Xu xiang you******do not know yourself. "
Na li cursed his sister. He blamed all the misfortunes that had happened to him for Xu xiang. If the girl doesn't leave then she doesn't need to go to jail. His mother also will not die because he was beaten by people because he was caught stealing.
Mrs Guli died two weeks ago. And now he lives alone and in no direction.
During this time he earned money from stealing or cheating.
" You're here? " Someone came to talk to Na li.
With a blurred look Na li looked at the face of the man who called out to her. Her smile grew as she found out who was talking to her.
" Mister Han? you're here? "
That guy Han dong. After graduating from the academy. He worked in the investigative bureau as one of the low-level commanders.
He met Na li while he was thrown in prison by A Guang. At first he did not know if Na li was Xu xiang's older brother whom he had replaced while at the Academy.
But when Han dong takes care of Lady Guli's case, he learns the fact.
Unresolved grudges have returned to the surface. Upon learning the fact that A Guang was the crown prince made him swallow the grudge whole. He did not want to be in contact with the members of the kingdom or he would destroy his future if he was determined to do so.
And now is the right time. The news of A Guang's return reached Han dong's ears. What is surprising is that he is back with a woman he does not know his identity. But word was heard that it was the candidate for the crown princess.
It would destroy his reputation. Although he was not sure he could ruin his marriage, he could at least humiliate him.
" It's time you did your job. " Said Han dong to Na li.
During these few days Na li earned money from Han dong. He will voluntarily help her.
" What am I supposed to do? "
" Spread the news that the crown prince was living with women while in the academy dormitory. Make sure you make the news as if he had also committed adultery with the woman. "
" Are you crazy? If I spread slander against the royal members. It is the same as sending my life to meet the king of hell. No. gabe. Refused it. " Na li was indeed not as smart as Xu xiang. But he was also not too stupid to take actions that would cost him his life.
" Why did you reject him? remember you still owe me a lot of money. And as collateral for your loan is both your hands. "
Na li di lema's. If he didn't do what Han dong ordered. He will lose both hands. But if he doesn't do so he will lose his life.
Losing a hand is as good as being useless and it is better to die than to be useless. So in the end all the paths he chose would end with his death.
Na li's small brain is unable to think that he actually entered Han dong's trap. He deliberately gave a loan of money that would not be able to be paid by Na li by offering guarantees of both hands or doing one order for him.
" all right. I'm gonna do it. But slandering a member of the kingdom will get severe punishment. And the emperor will definitely rub the matter all the way to his roots. "
Han dong grinned. " What I'm saying is not slander. The woman who lives with the crown prince is your sister. So this is a fact not a slander. If the emperor brings up the matter you can keep your mouth shut because he won't sentence you to death, because you spread the truth. Let the people know that the crown prince is an immoral man. "
Na li seemed to think. He wondered if he should take the offer.
Seeing that, Han dong secretly sneered, With his stupid brain for what still thinks if in the end he will still run it.
To dispel Na li's doubts, Han dong again offered a sum of money if he had already completed his task.
And sure enough, Na li agreed without thinking anymore.
*********
Next day.
Rumors of A Guang have spread. Very quickly the rumor spread to the suburban village.
The reason why this rumor spread so quickly?
It was because this was the first scandal involving the crown prince who was known to be virtuous. No wonder the rumors spread so quickly.
" So have you found the origin of the rumors? " Tanya Sima rui to Sima Dan.
His sister still serves in the bureau of investigators and has had the highest position in the bureau.
" Rumors are known to come from a tea house. A storyteller confessed that he got the script from an unknown person. So we still don't know who's behind this. " Papar Sima And. He himself intervened to remember this had offended his nephew.
" Investigate the people who have been in the academy. Especially the people who had come into contact with A Guang. Then order someone to keep an eye on the storyteller. "
After hearing Sima rui's direction, Sima Dan immediately sent some of his subordinates to run the task.
It was not only Sima Rui who heard the rumors. Ziyan is the same. He also knew who the woman in question was in the rumor.
" You guys are going to go out? " Task ziyan to the son who looks like he is leaving with Xu xiang.
" Yes mom. I'll take Xu xiang to meet his family. "
Ziyan had guessed. He soon came to stop his son's departure.
" Today let Xu xiang go alone. Give him time to spend with his family. Don't be a bully while once you're married all the time is yours. "
" All right, ma'am. You seem right. I seem to be too attached to him. You don't mind, do you? " A Guang asked Xu xiang.
The girl smiled. " I also agree with Her Majesty the queen. I think I should talk to them myself before you meet them. "
After speaking, A Guang immediately escorted Xu xiang away.
He went back to his palace and saw his mother sitting sipping her cup of tea.
" Mom, is there something you're hiding? " Task A Guang as soon as he sat down.
Ziyan smiled faintly. No wonder he was so sensitive. He is the son of Sima Rui.
" Have you heard the latest rumors? "
A Guang frowned and did not speak. Ziyan was sure that her son did not know. He was not surprised, because A Guang indeed never cared about rumors.
Ziyan continued. " The rumor that you were living with a woman while in the academy's dorm has spread. Just wait until they know the identity of the woman is Xu xiang, but they don't know yet that your future wife is him. "
" That's why mom forbade me to take Xu xiang? " Sela A Guang's.
And Ziyan nodded in confirming.
" For a while, mother will arrange for Xu xiang to stay outside. And before this matter is over, would you rather keep your distance from each other? "
There was no reply from A Guang. The man still faithfully shut his mouth.
But from the mother's words, he knew that this matter would have an effect on his relationship with Xu xiang.
