Chapter 51
In the backyard of the Xuzhou city government.
As for the ambiguous relationship between Cao Jian and the two wives, Gan and Mi,
Mi Zhu and Mi Fang dared not say anything or ask anything!
The first meeting between the two sides was silent for a while...
In the end, it was Cao Jian who smiled and took the initiative to break the deadlock:
"Mr. Zizhong and Mr. Zifang, you have seen the current situation.
You two are both smart people, so there is no need to say some things directly, right?
If you have any questions about this, or feel that it is inappropriate?
There are no outsiders here, so you may speak freely!……"
Hearing this, Mi Zhu was silent for a long time.
After looking around the scene, he finally decided to start with Mi Zhen, the one he was most familiar with and the weakest link in the scene!
"Little sister, I don't need to explain your thoughts, as your brother can see clearly.
It is said that marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmaker's words! Our parents can leave, and I helped you to marry you to Lord Xuande.
Now that you are a wife, you fall in love with the second son of Cao...
With this decision, are you dissatisfied with your previous arrangements?"
As soon as the voice fell, Mi Zhen bit her lip and nodded gently:
"Brother, you are too kind!
As the saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father!
Brother, you have your own reasons for arranging for me, and I dare not be dissatisfied! But... when you promised me to someone else, you never asked me if I was willing.……"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mi Fang couldn't help but sigh:
"Oh! Silly sister! If you didn't want to, why didn't you say so at the beginning?"
Hearing this, Mi Zhen smiled bitterly and said:
"My younger sister is just a woman, her words are not taken seriously!
Even if I really open my mouth to object, will the two brothers really listen to me?"
Once these words came out, it was like a question that pierced his heart!
Mi Fang was silent on the spot!
Although he was not smart, he was undoubtedly clear about the reason behind his brother Mi Zhu's marriage to his sister!
To put it bluntly, the Mi family wanted to take advantage of Liu Bei's distress to make a"rare commodity" gamble! As
Mi Zhen said, whether she agreed or not, it was not something that would change because of her personal will!
Mi Zhu remained silent about this, which was considered as tacit agreement.
After a long time, he continued to speak in a serious tone with a guilty conscience:
"Little sister, there is no need to talk about the past!
Looking at it now, do you know how much trouble this decision will bring to you and our Mi family?"
"You are still young, your thoughts are immature, you still don't understand many things, and you can't afford many consequences!
Listen to my advice! Why don't you calm down first, weigh the pros and cons, and then make a decision, how about it?"
Mi Zhen listened, lowered her eyebrows and said nothing, her brows slightly frowned: she seemed to be worried about whether it would cause trouble for the Mi family?
After a painful struggle, she raised her head again after a long time, and said with a firm look:
"Brother, no need to persuade me!
Although I am still young, I have heard that, 'It is easy to get a priceless treasure, but it is hard to find a lover'!
Now that the second young master does not despise me, I have someone in my heart, so I will have no regrets in this life!
No matter how many troubles and rumors there are in the future, I will accept them and accept them!"
"As for what my brother said, it might bring trouble to the Mi family.……"
When she said this, a hint of fortitude flashed in her eyes:
"If Lord Xuande blames me in the future? I will explain it to him in person!
Everyone is responsible for their own actions, and I will never let him blame the Mi family.……"
These words were said with great determination!
Mi Fang, the second brother, was also secretly surprised when he heard this:
"This girl has never been so brave and decisive in the past!
Could it be that she is really infatuated with the second son of the Cao family?"
He secretly complained in his heart.
He saw that the eldest brother Mi Zhu's brows had been wrinkled into a deep"chuan" shape.
After a long sigh, Mi Zhu smiled bitterly and said:
"Hehe...silly sister! Do you really think that everything can be explained so easily?
You are not the head of the family, how do you know that many troubles are never so easy to get rid of ?……"
Before he finished speaking, Cao Jian couldn't help but laughed coldly:
"Mr. Zizhong! What you just said is too irresponsible, isn't it?"
"Not to mention, in order to form an alliance with Lord Xuande, the Mi family disregarded Sister Mi’s lifelong happiness and pushed her out as a sacrifice. How much pain this brought to her!
Yes! Sister Mi is not the head of the family. There are some things she really doesn’t understand, but she shouldn’t understand them, let alone need to understand them--!! Isn’t it?"
When these words came out, Mi Zhen couldn't help but hear her eyes red, and her heart suddenly felt warm!
Immediately, seeing Cao Jian was relentless and continued to be aggressive, he said to the Mi brothers:
"On the contrary, Mr. Zi Zhong, as the head of the Mi family, should understand that the rise and fall of the family should be the responsibility of a good man!
Heaven moves forward, and a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement!
Mr. Zi Zhong and Mr. Zi Fang, since you are brothers, if you care about the brother-sister relationship?
Then you should let go and let Sister Mi pursue the happiness she wants, even if you have to share some trouble for it, it is also right!
On the contrary, if you only care about the family, or even your own private interests, and don’t care about her life or death?
And all the responsibilities that should not be borne by her are unreasonably imposed on her, and you try to shirk them yourself?
In this way, the brother-sister relationship is no longer there, so how can you ask her to disregard herself and only consider the Mi family?
Men do nothing and are afraid of trouble, but ask women to take responsibility!
I have never heard that a real man can do such a shameless thing!
I wonder what you two gentlemen think?"
Once these words came out, they were so powerful that they could be said to be deafening!
Mi Fang couldn't help but feel ashamed when he heard them: he was speechless and had no face to answer!
Mi Zhu, the eldest brother, was already sweating profusely!
At this moment, he had undoubtedly been completely humiliated by the criticism!
The two brothers of the Mi family looked at each other, and all of them looked up to Cao Jian again!
Especially the eldest brother Mi Zhu, as the head of the wealthy Mi family, it can be said that he has not been criticized like this in a long time!
After secretly wiping off a cold sweat, he suddenly felt infinite emotion in his heart:
"What a sharp-tongued Second Young Master!
Not only is he good at both civil and military affairs, but he is also as eloquent as anyone."
"This sharp tongue!
If he continues to talk back, I'm afraid he'll kill me.……"
