" What?!"
After listening to the young eunuch's report, the four people at the dining table stood up at the same time.
Immediately after, the slightly tipsy Xu Da instantly sobered up. With a bang, he knelt down in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and pleaded loudly,
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. It's my fault for not teaching my daughter well!”
Just now, Xu Da's face was red as he called Zhu Zhongba, and even when he exposed the latter's background in front of Zhu Biao, he wasn't as nervous and afraid as he was now.
However, his eldest daughter had locked the King of Wu in the room.
There was also the sound of the earthen jar shattering. The two of them must have had an argument.
He knew his eldest girl's character all too well. She was a strong-willed person who would not suffer any losses. If she were to hurt Wu Wang, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Therefore, he knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty without hesitation.
As for why his eldest girl would inexplicably enter the palace to look for Wu Wang, Xu Da already had no time to care.
"Tiande, what are you doing? Get up!”
"Boss, help your Uncle Xu up!”
Zhu Yuanzhang gave Zhu Biao an order, then he glared at the young eunuch and said,""Tell me, what exactly happened?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. This servant also doesn't know what happened.”
"This servant only knows that the three young ladies of the Xu family just brought two food boxes to look for His Highness Wu Wang, and then everyone in the house was driven out.”
"Later, the sound of a jar being smashed came from the house. The servants wanted to go in and check on the situation, but they were stopped by the two young ladies of the Xu family and His Highness the Prince of Yan.”
"His Highness the King of Yan also ordered everyone to stay away from the residence of His Highness the King of Wu. Even His Highness the King of Qin and His Highness the King of Jin were chased away by him.”
"This servant is worried that something might happen to His Highness Wu Wang, so I came to report to His Majesty.”
The young eunuch trembled as he lay on the ground and told him everything he knew.
"Tiande, did you hear that? It's nothing serious. It's probably just two children arguing.”
Zhu Yuanzhang patted Xu Da's shoulder and comforted him,""Your second and third daughters, as well as my second, third, and fourth daughters, are all here. Since they chose to leave, it means that there's nothing serious.”
"If you're really worried, we're almost done eating. We'll take a stroll over to digest our food and see what's wrong with these two children.”
Although he comforted Xu Da, Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed.
Who would believe that a man and a woman were alone in a room without feelings for each other?
It seemed that the eldest daughter of the Xu family was destined to be Zhu Zhongba's daughter-in-law.
Empress Ma and Crown Prince Zhu Biao were also secretly delighted.
Originally, they were prepared to propose marriage to Fourth Brother today. The reason why they dragged Fifth Brother along to let Xu Da choose was because they wanted Xu Da to be the general among the short ones. Fifth Brother was purely here to set off his Fourth Brother.
However, he did not expect that the usually silent Fifth Brother would actually rob the eldest daughter of the Xu family first.
"As a subject, how can you argue with the King of Wu? You simply don't know etiquette!”
"Your Majesty, I'll bring my daughter home and discipline her properly.”
Before Zhu Yuanzhang could reply, Xu Da left in a hurry and headed towards the Wu King's residence.
Looking at Xu Da's back as he left in a hurry, Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but laugh out loud.
Then, he chased after her.
"Tiande, it's just a quarrel between a couple. There's no need to make it sound like a big deal. Besides, your eldest daughter is so good. She definitely didn't cause trouble. It must be our disappointing Fifth Brother who made your daughter unhappy.”
.
Outside Zhu Xi's residence.
Xu Miaoqing, Xu Miaojin, Zhu Xi, Zhu Xi, and Zhu Di did not leave.
There were also palace maids, eunuchs, and guards trembling in fear.
At this moment, they were too far away from the courtyard. They had no way of knowing what had happened in the house.
If something really happened to His Royal Highness Wu Wang, then even if they had ten lives, it would not be enough for His Majesty to kill them.
"Second Brother, Third Brother, what are we still staying here for? Let's go!”
Zhu Di couldn't wait for Zhu Rong to take the blame and marry the daughter of the Xu family. This was a great opportunity. He couldn't help Lao Wu create it. A single man and a single woman could improve their relationship, right?
"Fourth Bro, you…"
Just as Zhu Rong was about to say something, a series of hurried footsteps came from behind.
He turned around and saw that it was Xu Da, the Duke of Wei. His parents and big brother had also caught up.
Zhu Rong and Zhu Rong looked at each other.
Oh no, things had blown up.
Meanwhile, Zhu Di was extremely excited. Uncle Xu, his parents, and his eldest brother were all here.
Now that Fifth Brother was alone with the eldest daughter of the Xu family, the marriage was most likely set. He had escaped the disaster and could not marry a girl.
At this thought, Zhu Di was extremely excited and almost laughed out loud.
"What are you two sisters standing here for?”
Xu Da rushed in as soon as he came over." This is really not proper etiquette. How can you be disrespectful to His Highness King Wu? This is offending your superiors."”
"Father, father, wait. You can't go in.”
"Right, Father, you can't go in."
Xu Miaojin and Xu Miaoqing were shocked. They quickly grabbed their father and said," Father, you've misunderstood. Eldest Sister didn't disrespect His Highness King Wu. They have private matters to discuss inside, so it's not good to disturb them."”
"Tell me, what are you three sisters doing?”
Xu Da sensed that something was wrong. He glared at his two daughters and questioned them.
"We, we, we didn't."
Xu Miaoqing blushed. How could she say such a thing?
"Father, don't worry. It's fine. It's definitely fine. I promise!”
Xu Miaojin was much calmer as she raised four fingers and swore.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's family of three finally caught up.
Just like Xu Da, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to rush in as soon as he arrived.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty. No!"
Xu Miaojin was shocked. If His Majesty went in, it would be terrible. However, they could not stop him. She had an idea and gave her second sister, Xu Miaoqing, a look at Empress Ma.
Xu Miaoqing quickly whispered into Empress Ma's ear.
Empress Ma's eyes widened in shock.
Immediately after, she walked forward and stopped Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da." What are you two men going in for? Get lost, get lost as far away as possible."”
Xu Da was speechless.
Zhu Yuanzhang:
Under the dumbfounded gazes of the two, Empress Ma walked into the courtyard alone.
However, she didn't barge into the house directly. Instead, she approached carefully, not daring to disturb him.
However, just as he approached the courtyard door, he heard a voice and immediately spat," This damn Fifth Brother, is he born in the year of the ox? That girl from the Xu family!"
After hearing this voice, Empress Ma flung her sleeves and left without looking back.
However, he was in a good mood.
Although his fifth brother had gone overboard with this matter, Xu Da had no reason to reject the marriage proposal.
"Empress, what happened inside?”
Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously. Xu Da also straightened his neck and came over.
"An old father and an old eunuch. Why are you so curious? Get lost, get lost.”
Empress Ma said with a straight face," And all of you, step down. No one is allowed to tell anyone about what happened today."”
"Yes, Empress!"
The palace maids, eunuchs, and guards disappeared without a trace.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da finally came to their senses.
Because Empress Ma had already pointed out the inside story with the words 'old eunuch' just now.
At the thought of his precious daughter being bullied, Xu Da's blood surged. He pointed at Zhu Yuanzhang's nose and cursed,"Zhu Zhongba, I'm going to kill your son!”
"Tiande, don't be angry and ruin your health!"
Zhu Yuanzhang wasn't angry. Instead, he said angrily,""Don't worry, I'll definitely teach Fifth Brother a lesson. I won't be lenient.”
"However, what's done is done. Look, isn't the marriage between our two families?"
"Humph!"
Xu Da flung his sleeves heavily and instructed his two daughters to bring their eldest sister home safely before leaving in a huff.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma looked at each other and saw joy in each other's eyes.
The marriage was settled.
Our fifth brother is awesome.
