Zhu Yuanzhang shifted his gaze from the kitchen knife to Zhu Rong. He took a deep look and then said to Xu Miaoyun,"
"Xu Miaoyun? As far as I know, you are the daughter of Duke Cao, right?”
Xu Miaoyun looked down at the ground and said,""Miao Yun's crime has nothing to do with Duke Cao!”
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's lips curled into a smile. He turned around and glanced at Xu Da. At this moment, Xu Da's face was filled with helplessness.
Then, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Xu Miaoyun,""Alright, then Xu Miaoyun, tell me, what crime have you committed?”
Xu Miaoyun continued to speak in a neither servile nor overbearing manner,""Miao Yun broke into the main hall with a saber and violated the laws of the inner palace.”
Then, he said crisply,
"But Miao Yun doesn't regret it!"
"Oh?" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up and he asked,"
"You don't regret it?"
Xu Miaoyun nodded heavily and said firmly,
"If Miao Yun can't marry the person she likes, then she might as well die!”
"Xu Miaoyun, you bastard!" As soon as Xu Miaoyun finished speaking, Xu Da, who was standing behind Zhu Yuanzhang, shouted angrily.
"Hmm?" However, Zhu Yuanzhang's nasal voice immediately sounded. He tilted his head slightly and glanced at Xu Da.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze, Xu Da did not dare to say anything.
You have a good relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang, but everything has to be done at a certain time and place, right?
A family banquet is a family banquet. Now, you are the emperor and his subjects!
Xu Da shut his mouth and looked at his daughter who was kneeling on the ground. His expression was so complicated that it was impossible for a normal person to do it.
However, the joy in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes became more and more obvious.
Even Empress Ma, who was standing at the back, looked at Xu Miaoyun kneeling on the ground with satisfaction in her eyes.
She didn't know why, but she seemed to see a shadow of her younger self in Xu Miaoyun.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze stopped on Zhu Rong.
Zhu Xi, who had his head lowered, felt a chill down his spine and his entire body trembled. It was unknown whether it was because of his inner voice or because of the suppression of his bloodline.
It couldn't be helped. Old Zhu's family was afraid of their own father. This was uncontrollable!
"Humph!" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly.
"Third Bro, get the hell out here!"
"Um."
Zhu Rong was stunned for a moment, then he had no choice but to say in a helpless voice,"
"Yes, sir."
She had just stood up when Xu Miaoyun's voice rang out again,"
"Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with Prince Jin. If you want to punish someone, please punish Miao Yun!”
"Shut up!" Xu Da took two steps forward and scolded his daughter.
Are you trying to make the emperor's decision?
"Tiande, follow me too."
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's call, Xu Da pointed at his daughter and said,""You!"
Then, he turned around and chased after her.
After Zhu Xi and Xu Da followed Zhu Yuanzhang out of the hall, Empress Ma came to Xu Miaoyun with a smile on her face. She stretched out her hand slightly and said,
"Get up, let me take a good look at you."
As he spoke, he grabbed Xu Miaoyun's hands.
Zhu Yuanzhang brought Zhu Rong and Xu Da into the courtyard and asked the eunuch to dismiss them.
Then, he reached out and grabbed Zhu Rong's ear.
"Aiyo!" Zhu Rong's painful cry rang out,"
"Father! Be gentle, it hurts!"
In private, the way the father and son of the Zhu family interacted was very down-to-earth.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about Zhu Rong's cries of pain. He grabbed Zhu Rong's ear and kicked his butt with the back of his foot.
"You brat, tell me, what did you do to the eldest daughter of the Xu family? What? She was a good girl, why did she come knocking on his door?”
Xu Da stood at the side and watched as Zhu Rong was beaten up. He felt extremely carefree in his heart.
Good fight!
Ignorant and incompetent brat, how dare you covet my daughter? He deserved a beating!
"Father, I didn't do anything!”Zhu Xiong explained weakly.
Zhu Yuanzhang continued,
"I don't care what you did to her, but I dare to take responsibility for what I did. So, you better treat Miao Yun well in the future!”
"Yes! That's right, this rascal. Hmm? Wait a minute? What did you say?"
Why did you go around in circles and end up marrying my daughter to your Third Brother?!
How could this be?
However, this time, before Xu Da could reject him, Zhu Rong spoke first,"
"Father, can I not have that female student?”
"What did you say?" This question was not asked by Zhu Yuanzhang, but by Xu Da!
When Xu Da heard this, he thought, I haven't even rejected you yet, and you're rejecting me first?
One had to know that when Zhu Yuanzhang's children saw Xu Da, they all called him Uncle Xu.
In Xu Da's eyes, these children were like his nephews.
There were no outsiders around them. In private, Xu Da acted like their elders and relatives.
At this moment, Xu Da also said to Zhu Rong,
"I don't want my daughter to marry you! After I marry you, I'll go to the fields with you every day? Is it useful?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Rong became excited."Who said farming is useless?"
"It's been more than two years. Have you grown anything?"”
"Uncle Xu, do you dare to bet with me?!”When Zhu Rong heard this, he actually used the potato that he had been thinking about? How could he tolerate that?
"Good! Let's bet!" Xu Da was also excited. Good fellow, he was competing with a child!
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said,"
"Alright, you guys make a bet. I'll be your witness!”
Then, Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhu Rong,""Third Brother, if your Uncle Xu wins, then you have to obediently marry that girl Xu Miaoyun!”
Zhu Xiong didn't think much of it and nodded.""Sure!"
Then, Zhu Yuanzhang turned to Xu Da and said,
"Tiande, if our Third Brother wins, you will marry your daughter Miao Yun to our Third Brother!”
"No problem!"
"Good!" Zhu Yuanzhang immediately beamed with joy and turned to leave. As he walked, he said,"Let's go! Let's go to Third Brother's land and take a look!"
Xu Da and Zhu Rong stared blankly at Zhu Yuanzhang's back for two seconds. They looked at each other and Zhu Rong asked,"
"Uncle Xu, why do I feel that something is wrong?”
Xu Da nodded and said in deep agreement,
"I also feel that something is wrong, but I can't put my finger on it…"
