“Hanyi, now that the emperor is old, the crown prince died early, and the emperor’s grandson is still young, whose do you think the world will be in the future?”
Situ Hanyi was stunned, and then immediately understood, “Prince Rui is the only heir to the throne.”
The old lady nodded in agreement.
“Prince Rui has five sons and three daughters. The eldest daughter is married to the eldest son of General Liu Mu, and the eldest son is married to the eldest daughter of the current prime minister. Now most of the forces in the court are leaning towards Prince Rui.” The old lady then prompted.
Situ Hanyi immediately understood the old lady’s intention. This meant to let him choose his master again.
Situ Hanyi’s eyes lit up when he thought of the purpose of Prince Rui’s second son Murong Xiu’s visit a few days ago. Even though the current prince was the eldest son Murong Xun, Prince Rui’s proudest son was this Murong Xiu.
Seeing that Situ Hanyi understood, the old lady smiled happily.
“In a few days, Murong Xiu will come to hear your decision. By then, your sister Hanyu will also be back.”
Situ Hanyi felt much brighter after hearing this. If his younger sister could marry Murong Xiu, she might become the most noble woman in Tianshun in the future. Then why would the Situ family still be afraid of Yungu? That bitch Yun Qianyu would definitely look good then.
“It really doesn’t work. With my son’s unparalleled appearance, the two unmarried ladies from Prince Rui’s palace will surely fall in love with you at first sight!” The old lady’s lips curved with a cunning arc.
Hearing this, Situ Hanyi’s eyes suddenly lit up!
However, although Fengyun Villa still had some status in the martial arts world, among the powerful, it was just a business family that designed and built weapons. How could it reach the status of the royal family?
“Mom, our Situ family doesn’t have any novel weapon designs right now. Even if we have the ancestral craftsmanship of making weapons, we can’t negotiate terms with Prince Rui, right?”
Situ Hanyi thought that since his father’s death, the Situ family had never brought out anything like this in the past three years. He was very depressed because he couldn’t bring out a new weapon.
The old lady was also a little worried. Her son had not inherited any of her husband’s talents in this area. He was really not a craftsman. It would be great if the bastard was still alive.
The old lady took out a blueprint from her arms, “This is the weapon designed by that bastard. It seems to be almost completed. Study it carefully. This is your last bargaining chip!”
Situ Hanyi happily took it and opened it like a treasure to take a look.
“Hanyi, you need to recruit some talents.” The old lady said seriously. For the first time, she regretted her previous actions, wondering if she would be embarrassed to meet the ancestors of the Situ family in the future.
Situ Hanyi nodded, “Mom, don’t worry, I’ve already started recruiting talents.”
He was not good at weapon design at all, but he still knew what to do.
….
Murong Yujian stood alone in the pavilion on the rockery in the courtyard. The height here was just right for him to see the main entrance of the manor. The young face was full of expectation, and the body stood upright, motionless.
Suddenly, his bright black eyes flashed with joy, and he quickly ran down the pavilion and towards the main entrance.
“Sister Qianyu!”
Yun Qianyu’s slim figure paused, and a faint smile appeared on her picturesque face.
But even this slight smile was enough to make Murong Yujian ecstatic. His sister Qianyu had always been cold, and had never smiled at anyone, except when it came to him!
“Slow down, why are you running in such a hurry?” Yun Qianyu reached out to support Murong Yujian, and the two of them walked side by side into the courtyard.
Murong Yujian’s face was a little lonely, “I was afraid that Sister Qianyu will never come to see Yujian again.”
He knew that after Sister Qianyu broke off the engagement, she would no longer live in Fengyun Villa, so would he see her in the future? Maybe his future would have no more Sister Qianyu.
“How come, Yujian is sister Qianyu’s favorite brother. No matter where Yujian goes, sister will take time to see you.” Yun Qianyu’s eyes showed a touch of softness.
In her previous life, she had a younger brother, who was also five years younger than her. She and her younger brother lost their parents when they were young. She raised her younger brother single-handedly, and it was she who taught him the sophistication of the world, business skills, and family management, and her brother also took good care of her, especially in her last days when she got cancer, which made her very happy.
So even if she left, she would feel relieved because the younger brother she taught could never be a weakling.
“Really?” The overflowing joy on Murong Yujian’s face made Yun Qianyu’s heart soften.
Yun Qianyu thought for a moment, it had been a long time since she had felt like this. She originally thought that she had no regrets from her previous life, and that she would live peacefully in this life. It was rare that your heart would change for someone or something.
“Of course.”
The two of them said as they arrived at the door of the main hall.
“Qianyu!”
A gentle voice said these two words softly.
Yun Qianyu raised her head and looked at the person coming.
