Chapter 212 The most suitable candidate
"I'll do anything to get you back to me! We'll see!"
Fu Yansheng said this, glared at Zhao Yu coldly, and then strode out of the room.
Ling Mo stared blankly at Fu Yansheng's departing back until Zhao Yu gently shook his sleeves. Then she suddenly realized that she was still holding his arm tightly. She quickly let go, full of apology: "I'm sorry, I... it was unintentional just now."
Zhao Yu seemed to adjust his sleeves casually, with a faint smile on his face: "Do you think a eunuch can make him feel threatened?"
Ling Mo replied seriously: "It doesn't matter. As long as I can leave Fu Yansheng, it doesn't matter who it is."
"It's not so easy to get rid of Fu Yansheng."
"I understand, so Zhao Yu, since I chose you, can you help me to the end?"
Ling Mohui blinked and looked at Zhao Yu cautiously, with anticipation glittering in her eyes.
Zhao Yu raised his eyes and asked indifferently: "What do you mean?"
Ling Mo smiled back and gently tugged at his sleeve, with a sly gleam in her eyes: "How about we get married?"
Zhao Yu silently pulled back his sleeves, with a half-smile on his face: "Are we familiar with each other?"
"You are a eunuch anyway, and you will never marry in this life. I don't want to remarry either. The two of us living together can help me get rid of Fu Yansheng completely!"
Ling Mohui weighed the pros and cons in her mind and decided that Zhao Yu was the most suitable candidate.
First of all, he was a eunuch and didn't have to worry about emotional entanglements.
Secondly, as a eunuch, she would not be at a disadvantage in the relationship.
Furthermore, even if they could not become real husband and wife, they could still accompany each other in another form, while avoiding the pressure of arranged marriage from the royal family.
Zhao Yu is simply her ideal safe haven.
Zhao Yu stroked his chin, thinking: "From what you said, this deal seems to be quite beneficial to you."
Ling Mo smiled and nodded, with hope in her eyes: "Yes!"
The smile on Zhao Yu's face remained unchanged, but that smile made people feel a little chilly: "So, what benefits can I get from this?"
"What do you want?"
There was a hint of helplessness and determination in Ling Mohui's voice. In order to completely get rid of Fu Yansheng's entanglement, she gritted her teeth, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes, and she decided to go all out.
Hearing this, Zhao Yu's lips curled up into an amused smile. He slowly stretched out a slender finger with an elegant and casual movement, and gently lifted Ling Mohui's chin. That faint smile was like a peach blossom that bloomed inadvertently in spring, gentle yet with a strength that could not be ignored.
"I want all your wealth!"
His words revealed an unquestionable confidence, as if everything in the world was under his control.
Hey, this guy has quite an appetite!
Ling Mohui was secretly amazed in her heart, but pretended to be relaxed on the surface, "It's not realistic to give it all to you, so how about this, we split it in half!"
She tried to resolve the issue in a more practical and dignified way.
After all, she needed help from others at the moment, and marriage was a very serious matter. Ling Mohui knew in her heart that any transaction must be based on fairness and must not lose her sense of proportion.
"Okay, deal!"
Zhao Yu's answer was crisp and clear, without any hesitation, as if he had expected everything, leaving Ling Mohui no room for regret.
Upon hearing this, Ling Mohui opened her mouth in surprise, her words stuck in her throat, unable to come out, in disbelief.
She originally thought that he would bargain for such a condition, but she didn't expect that he would agree so readily.
For a moment, she couldn't help but wonder if Zhao Yu had decided from the beginning to only give her half, and deliberately asked for all the property to test or intimidate her.
This thought is really unfathomable.
However, on second thought, as the main villain in the story, Zhao Yu is labeled as scheming, and such behavior is consistent with his character setting and is understandable.
"Then please help me transport my property back from Da Qi first, and bring my two maids back as well!"
Ling Mohui made further requests.
She knew very well that Zhao Yu held an important position in Da Qi, and as the chief steward, it should be easy for her to handle these trivial matters.
She had to properly arrange for her people and property before Fu Yansheng noticed, so as to avoid any further complications.
"In consideration of giving you half of the family property, I will reluctantly agree to this."
Zhao Yu left this sentence, turned around and left the room. There was an unquestionable determination in his steps, as if everything was under his control.
……
On the sixth day, the crowning ceremony of the crown prince took place as scheduled. The dignitaries of the capital and envoys from various countries came in an endless stream, creating an unprecedented grand occasion.
On the way, Zhao Yu was unexpectedly stopped by Fu Yansheng, and the atmosphere became subtle for a moment.
"Master Fu, what does this mean?"
A hint of displeasure flashed across Zhao Yuezhao's face, and there was obvious dissatisfaction in his tone.
"Don't worry, Duke. I was just chatting with Master Fu."
Zhao Yu's tone was calm, as if they really just met by chance and were just chatting casually.
Zhao Yuezhao glanced sideways and saw that Zhao Yu looked calm and composed, his doubts were alleviated a little, so he said no more.
"Then Mohui and I will go to the main hall first."
Zhao Yuezhao said this with a firm tone that could not be refused.
Zhao Yu nodded slightly, which was considered as agreement.
Under the empty palace corridors, the cold wind mixed with fine rain and snow slapped the officials' robes, bringing gusts of coolness.
Zhao Yu's facial features appear more three-dimensional in such weather, and his fair skin is particularly eye-catching under the gray sky. He is indeed a rare handsome man.
Fu Yansheng's thoughts suddenly drifted back to the past. He remembered that the reason why Ling Mohui fell in love with him was largely because of his outstanding appearance.
Thinking of Ling Mohui's past absurdity and the shocking move she might make again, Fu Yansheng couldn't help but feel a strong hostility in his heart: "Deng Guiping, are you Daqing's spy planted in Daqi?"
Zhao Yu's response was still calm: "Not entirely."
"Aren't you afraid that I will expose your identity and prevent you from returning to Da Qi?"
There was a threat in Fu Yansheng's question.
Zhao Yu sneered, as if he had expected this scene. "You won't, unless you want Ling Mohui to lose her reputation with me! If I am a spy, then Ling Mohui who follows me back to Daqing will be regarded as a traitor, and the general's mansion that hides the spy will also lose its reputation. Fu Yansheng... are you willing to see this result?"
Fu Yansheng narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze was like a knife, piercing Zhao Yu's departing back. The sharpness contained in his eyes was self-evident.
"Zhao Yu! You really have a plan. You dare to stand in front of me like this, because you know that I will not reveal your identity, right?"
Fu Yansheng's voice was filled with reluctance and anger. "The more you miss Ling Mohui in your heart, the more you act tough. This is just human nature."
