The old butler Fan Zhong entered the inner residence and reported to the old lady. When Old Madam He heard that Cheng Yaojin had come, she thought of the past and her heart surged. She wished she could grab Cheng Yaojin and bite him to vent her hatred. She then instructed Fan Zhong to make the necessary preparations. Fan Zhong responded and left. After a while, Fan Zhong led twenty burly men, each holding a stick and a rope, to the front of the steps."Please tell me, Old Furen." "Alright, I'll do it. Stand on both sides of the hall door and listen to my orders. If you want to fight, fight. If you want to tie up, tie up!”"Tsk!" These people were standing on both sides with their brows furrowed. "Ask Cheng Yaojin to sign up!" the old madam ordered.”"Yes, sir!"
Fan Zhong came to the corner gate and opened it with a clang. His face was filled with anger as he shouted,"Old Furen has instructed Cheng Yaojin to sign up alone!”
Cheng Yaojin was mentally prepared for this. "Alright, alright," he replied with a smile. Come on, bring the gifts in." "No, Old Furen has said that only you can enter. The rest are not allowed to enter.”"Old brother, as the saying goes, officials don't beat up those who give gifts, and dogs don't bite and shit. This is more or less a favor. Besides, this isn't mine. It's a gift from the current emperor and the grand marshal. How can you not accept it? Moreover, it was up to the old madam to decide whether to accept or not. We'll carry it in first. If the old madam really doesn't want it, we'll take it away.”"You're still so eloquent. Bring it in first.”The gifts were carried in, and the people who came with them retreated out of the residence.
Cheng Yaojin tidied up his clothes, took a step forward, and reported a name,""Old Furen, An Cheng Yao Jin has filed a complaint.”This courtyard was also big. Old Cheng had to register more than thirty names before he came to the bottom of the steps. Old Cheng stole a glance. Oh, it's different from last time. The man came out with a stick and wanted to beat me up. This old lady is really angry. Thinking about it, this was all within expectations, so it was not surprising. If this matter were to happen to her, she might be even angrier than her. She would go all out. Cheng Yaojin slowly walked up the stairs.
Fan Zhong pushed the door open and Cheng Yaojin entered the room. Looking to the center, Old Lady He was sitting in the middle, accompanied by servant maids and old women. When he saw the old lady, his eyebrows stood up, his eyes were wide open, and the veins on his forehead were bulging. The servant girls rolled up their sleeves and gritted their teeth. Old Cheng looked at it and bowed.”After he bowed, he bent over and the old lady ignored him. Cheng Yaojin thought to himself,'It's not good for my big belly to keep bending over. If you don't want to talk, I'll talk myself.' He straightened his back and smiled." Old Madam, it's pretty good, isn't it? Come, come, come. Move a seat for me."”The old madam ignored him, and no one moved his seat.
Old Mrs. He slapped the armrest of her chair."Cheng Yaojin, what are you doing here again? Are you not satisfied with scamming us? Did the Tang camp lose again and you thought of inviting my daughter? Cheng Yaojin, don't dream. I'm going to settle this score with you.”"Old Madam, I'm mainly here to apologize to you. You can scold me or beat me up. If you don't want to vent your anger, you can do whatever you want.”
Old Mrs. He didn't give in this time. She cried and talked about the past again. Because the old lady was angry, she scolded Cheng Yaojin, saying that he was too mean and liked to lie. He said that he was a big man who didn't keep his word. He had a big beard and did such wicked things. What kind of thing was he? The old lady scolded for a long time. Cheng Yaojin did not say a word. He stood aside and listened quietly. He thought," It's good that you can talk about it. Anyway, you have a thousand tricks, and I have a set rule." The old lady was tired of talking and did not speak anymore.
"What do you think, Old Madam?" Cheng Yaojin smiled. Are you scolding me? Aiya, you're too polite. I made such a big mistake, but you only stopped there and didn't mock me. Did you vent your anger? If I can't vent my anger, call the young man outside the door in and beat me up. Don't think that I'm old, I can still take it.”
When the old lady saw this, she was speechless. He had scolded her and vented his anger. Cheng Yaojin had such a high status and was on equal footing with the emperor. At such an old age, he said that, but she didn't even lose her temper. It could be seen that she had tolerance! This was how soft things could be ground into hard things. The old lady's anger was appeased. She wiped her tears and said,"Forget it, it's useless to say it. Come, take a seat." "Thank you, Old Madam. You're really reasonable. Thank you." "Duke of Lu, you must have encountered a problem again, so you're begging my daughter to come."”"Old Furen, you're really smart. But this time, it's different from the last time. I'll explain after you're done. I did lie last time. But why would I lie? He had to clarify this matter. What does the relationship between the Xue family and the Fan family have to do with Cheng? Just take this stage as an example, who could withstand it! I just feel that Ding Shan and Li Hua are a perfect match. How good would it be if they got married! I was happy to think about this for both your families, so I came even if I knew there was a problem. " It's not right to say that Xue Dingshan didn't admit his mistake at all. He was remorseful even with a few words. That's why I came to invite Miss Fan. But I don't know what someone said to him. He fell ill again and hit Miss. Old Furen only knew that the young lady had returned sick, but do you know how lively it was over there? It made the grand marshal so angry that he vomited blood, and all the generals in the camp were furious. The marshal tied Xue Dingshan to the execution ground and insisted on beheading him. No one could plead for mercy. In the end, the Emperor pleaded for mercy. In a fit of anger, Wu Shuai spared the death penalty, but he could not avoid the punishment. He was beaten dozens of times with military sticks and sent to the labor camp to do heavy work. Could a father bear to hit his son? Why is our Marshal Xue doing this? I just feel sorry for Miss Fan and you, so I did that. No matter what was wrong with Xue Dingshan, Marshal Xue was still reasonable. I came here for nothing else but to give you a message. Xue Dingshan really felt that he was wrong. He felt that he had let Miss Fan down and was determined to repent. He said it once in front of me, but I didn't believe it. He said it ten times, but I still didn't believe it. Later, he wrote a letter in his own handwriting, apologizing in every way and begging me to run an errand. How could I not come? If Old Madam doesn't believe me, please take a look at this letter and you'll know if it's true or not.”As Old Cheng spoke, he took out Xue Dingshan's letter from his pocket and handed it over with both hands.
Old Madam didn't want to take it, but she felt that Old Cheng was right. Moreover, Xue Rengui was a good person. No matter how much my daughter and Xue Dingshan quarreled, I couldn't say that Xue Li was wrong. Then, she thought about it again. Had Xue Dingshan really changed his mind? Seeing that Cheng Yaojin didn't seem to be lying, I'll try again. The old lady took the letter. After unfolding it, he read it from beginning to end. Every word was sincere, and Xue Dingshan's handprint was pressed below. The old lady was so touched that she cried. She thought, My daughter's life is really tough! Cheng Yaojin said,"Old Madam, the relationship between the young couple is very good!" Just let her see this letter.”"Alright, I'll give this letter to Li Hua. It's up to her whether she believes it or not.”"Of course. This matter can't be forced. I'll listen to your words here.”"Sit for a while less." The old madam gestured for Old Cheng to have some tea.
Old Lady He personally took the letter and went to the Inner Residence to see Fan Lihua. In fact, Fan Lihua had already heard the report. At first, Miss Fan was so angry that she was trembling. She thought to herself,"You lied to me. If you didn't lie to me, would I have gone?" I saved the father and son, but I was beaten up instead. Xue Dingshan didn't show any signs of changing his mind at all. This time, you might be playing some tricks again. Thinking of this, she wished she could run to the front hall and give Cheng Yaojin two big slaps. Just as she was thinking about it, Old Furen came in with a servant girl. The old madam told Cheng Yaojin what he had said truthfully and handed the letter over. Miss Li Hua didn't want to read it at first. When she heard the words " Xue Dingshan," she rushed to her lungs. However, her mother brought the letter over, so she had to read it. After reading the letter three times, Li Hua's tears fell. She could see that the letter was indeed from the heart and was very sincere. Xue Dingshan admitted that he had done something wrong. He should not have misunderstood Miss, and he should not have beaten Miss twice. He really regretted it. Now, I'm neither human nor ghost. I'm working in the Lao Military Camp while thinking about these past events. All the mistakes are on me, causing you to suffer so much. For my sake, I hope that you will rush to the two armies. The Emperor and my father are preparing to let you worship the commander of the Golden Platform. I am also willing to listen to your orders. I hope you won't care about your past grievances and rush to Lian Camp as soon as possible. Miss Li Hua was truly kind-hearted. She held the letter in her hands, tears streaming down her face. The old lady also cried along with him.
Li Hua thought about it again and again before saying,"Mother, let's not talk about the past." I plan to ask my mother what to do about this matter.”"I don't care! You can make your own decision." "Mother, I saw that Xue Dingshan was sincere and did show signs of repentance. His words were sincere. He probably changed his mind.”"I think so too. However, I can't make up my mind. If you want to go, then go. If you don't want to go, then forget it.”"It seems that the current emperor and marshal Xue Rengui are looking forward to me going. Let's put Xue Dingshan's matter aside for now. The emperor and marshal are quite good to us. They provide firewood and rice every year and take good care of us. I plan to follow the old Duke to thank the Emperor and the marshal in person, and then see if Xue Dingshan has really changed his mind. If it's true, I'll discuss it with Mother when I come back. If it's fake, I'll come back. What do you think?" "Logically speaking, it should be done this way. However, if Xue Dingshan really wanted to admit his mistake, then it was fine. If he turned hostile again, then you couldn't be polite to him. Mother would be happy if you killed him!”"Mother, don't worry. The human heart is made of flesh. There's a saying that if you repeat it again and again, you can't repeat it again and again. If he's heartless again, I'll settle the score with him face to face.”
The mother and son have decided to go to the front hall to see Cheng bite gold. When Old Cheng saw Li Hua, he also felt guilty. After the apology, Fan Lihua changed the topic and said,""Old Duke, I have already read the letter. Did Xue Dingshan write this?”"It depends on what you say. Put the letter in your arms and go to the front of the two armies to verify whether it was written by Ding Shan himself. Can I make this up? Miss Fan, I understand how you feel because he has repeatedly broken his promise to others, so that others can't believe him. However, Ding Shan has really changed his mind this time. Did you know? After you left the enemy, Yang Fan set up the White Tiger Array at the White Tiger Mountain to bet with the Tang army. Marshal Xue risked his life to attack the formation, but he suffered heavy losses. The marshal was trapped, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive. The emperor had no choice, so he issued a pardon decree to temporarily pardon the rabbit in Dingshan Yulao's military camp and asked him to make meritorious service. In order to save his father, Xue Dingshan disregarded life and death. He led his troops and charged into the array. He whipped them with his spear and injured several generals. Yang Fan went out and was also injured by Ding Shan's steel whip. Only then did he save the marshal. Marshal Xue's health was getting worse by the day. The military counselor did not return to the capital. Ding Shan was guilty and could not sit in the tent. Who would fight the White Tiger Array? Who would lead the army of hundreds of thousands? There were a thousand people in the family, and one person in charge. How could an army of hundreds of thousands of soldiers not have a marshal? After many discussions with the Emperor and the generals, we all think that Miss Fan is worthy of this position. They asked me to invite you to the front line and let you worship the commander of the Golden Platform. "In addition, Ding Shan has already admitted his mistake. You and your wife have reconciled. This matter is beneficial to the country, and it is also beneficial to our families. It has satisfied both your and your mother's wishes. You can go with the old grandpa. If Grandpa is lying again, you can come and settle the score with me. If you kill me, I won't complain.”
Fan Lihua observed his expression and knew that what Cheng Yaojin said was true. Her heart softened."Mother, if that's the case, then I'll go with the old Duke.”"Child, make the big decision yourself. I'll still say the same thing. If you want to go, I won't stop you.”"Old Duke, I don't care if he's handsome or not, but breaking the formation is more important. When do you think we should get up?" "Miss Fan, it's best to leave now.”"Alright then, sit for a moment."
Miss Fan returned to her room, took off her silk, changed into her armor, and went to the front yard for the second time. Cheng Yaojin stood up and said goodbye to the old lady,""Old Furen, there's no mistake this time. You should also put away your things. When I'm free, I'll set up a carriage to pick you up and let you attend the wedding.”The old lady nodded and gave her daughter a few more instructions before they parted ways.
Old Cheng first went to the marshal's residence to meet the Flower Blade General Chen Zhong and told him what had happened. Chen Jin insisted on following him."Old grandpa, why did everyone else go up to fight but leave them here? Hanjiang Pass is fine, and Miss Fan left again, so I followed.”Old Cheng thought about it, but it made sense. The two armies were employing people, and Chen Jinding was a fierce general. It would be a pity to leave her here, so he made the decision."Alright, follow me." Chen Jinding was happy. He put on his helmet and armor, mounted his warhorse, hung his hammers, and stood up with Fan Lihua.
