Chapter 160 It’s no use calling me dad
Ma Yu looked at Duke Anguo's expression and knew that he was satisfied with this marriage.
Duke Anguo sighed, "We'll talk about this later."
When Ma Yu heard that there was a chance, he thought that maybe in a few days, his father-in-law would go to find the Duke of Zhenguo himself.
When Ma Yu and Duke Anguo returned to the Duke's Mansion, it was time for dinner.
Zhang Ruoning had been waiting in the dining room for a long time and finally saw the two of them return.
She still had some impression of Ma Yu, and as for the old man who was supporting Ma Yu, he must be her great-grandfather.
"Ruoning has seen great-grandfather and grandfather."
"Okay, okay," Duke Anguo's eyes instantly turned red upon hearing this, "I'm glad you're back, sit down and eat."
Ma Yu didn't cry so much before, but after being spoiled by Princess Rui'an for so many years, she has become a crybaby.
Princess Rui'an pinched his arm and said, "Why are you crying? The child just came back, we should smile."
Ma Yu wiped away her tears and smiled, "Yes, you should laugh, don't cry, don't cry."
The family had nothing else to do and finished the reunion dinner with smiles on their faces.
After dinner, Ma Yuanzhu took Zhang Ruoning back to rest, and Princess Rui'an followed them to the study.
When they learned that Zhang Ruoning intended to identify him, a look of understanding flashed across their faces.
Then the Duke of Anguo told Princess Rui'an the news that he wanted to marry into the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Princess Rui'an didn't say whether she agreed or not. She just said, "This is the most important event for the child. I heard that guy back then was a good person, but he still did something like that?"
"So, we don't have the final say. We have to let the two children get along with each other."
"Ningning is willing, and the child is willing too. It's not too late for us to arrange it."
Duke Anguo nodded when he heard this. It turned out that some things were simple for men, and women had to consider things comprehensively.
Princess Rui'an added, "It just so happens that Ningning wants to go to the girls' school. I heard that the boy from the Lu family occasionally goes back to attend a few classes."
"I think, why don't we send Ningning over there? If the two children are destined to be together, won't they be together naturally?"
Duke Anguo frowned, "Isn't that a girls' school? Why did that boy go there?"
Princess Rui'an rolled her eyes and said, "Dad, the girls' school is only a part of the school. Some classes are taught by both boys and girls."
Duke Anguo scratched his head and said, "Oh," he had never noticed it before.
But he seemed to have thought of something, and frowned, "There is a difference between men and women, how can they mix together? Do the women still have any dignity?"
Princess Rui'an rolled her eyes again, "You are so old-fashioned. Why should we differentiate between men and women when it comes to learning a craft to make a living?"
"If men and women attend classes together, it would be a disgrace to their reputation. If I have been with you two grown men for so many years, wouldn't my reputation have been ruined a long time ago?"
Duke Anguo raised his eyebrows, "How can they be the same? You are my woman, and you are Ma Yu's wife."
Princess Rui'an said earnestly, "We were classmates."
"Besides, this course is chosen voluntarily. If you want to take it, you can take it. If you don't want to take it, you don't have to take it."
Hearing this, Duke Anguo's expression eased a lot, "That's good."
"However," Duke Anguo had not yet completely relaxed, and Princess Rui'an's next words made him angry again, "Ningning wants to study medicine, and it just so happens that this class seems to be co-ed."
"I don't agree." Duke Anguo slammed the table.
Princess Rui'an patted her heart that was almost frightened just now and said, "Didn't you say before that you would support Ningning in everything?"
Duke Anguo was so anxious that he blew his beard and glared. He was indeed the one who said this, but he didn't agree to let his great-granddaughter go to study with a bunch of bad boys!
Princess Rui'an curled her lips and said, "Besides, whether I agree or not is not up to you. I have already registered Ruoning."
This made Duke Anguo angry. "How could you sign up?"
He pushed Ma Yu who was standing next to him and said, "Go and get the registration form back for me."
Ma Yu looked embarrassed. He thought it was good that Ningning had her own ideas. He supported Ningning in studying medicine, but he did not dare to disobey his father-in-law's orders.
He looked at his daughter-in-law who was desperately winking at him, and then looked at his father-in-law who had a face full of anger.
Finally, Ma Yu gritted his teeth and stood on the side of his wife, "Dad, I won't go. I support Ningning to study medicine."
"You...you...you" Duke Anguo said "you" three times but couldn't make any clear statement. Since they all agreed, he, an old man, decided not to get involved.
"Forget it," Duke Anguo finally convinced himself, "Since the child has made up her mind, let her go."
"There's no one in our family who can use a knife now, so it would be a good idea for Ningning to learn medicine."
"It's good to save the world and save people."
The couple smiled at each other. It seemed that the old man was not particularly old-fashioned.
Who would have thought that the old man would think their plan had succeeded because of their laughter?
"Don't be so cocky, you two. If the two kids are really interested, you two can go to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion to propose marriage."
Ma Yu was dumbfounded when he heard this. Everyone knew how terrifying the Duke of Zhenguo and the Old Lady were. If they were allowed to go, would they be able to come out alive?
Ma Yu cried, "Dad..."
Duke Anguo waved his hand and said, "Don't call me dad. It's useless to call me dad."
Do you really think he doesn't know, and let him endure Lu Jie's scolding while you hide in peace? You wish!
Since it was you, old man, who came up with this idea, you have to do it.
"By the way," Duke Anguo was so busy arguing with these two bastards that he actually forgot about the main business, "His Majesty said that Ningning should be allowed to enter the palace early tomorrow morning."
Princess Rui'an glanced at Ma Yu and said, "Are you so anxious? Ningning just came back."
Ma Yu put his arm around Princess Rui'an's shoulders and said, "Hurry up. Zhang Ji is not prepared. If we conduct a surprise interrogation, we will definitely find out something."
Princess Rui'an nodded, "Then I'll go tell Ningning."
The swelling in Qi Wuyou's ankle has finally subsided, but it still hurts a little when he walks.
She's been stuck in the palace these days, and she's really getting bored.
Xuan Yelan is going to interrogate Zhang Ji in the imperial study today. Qi Wuyou also wants to know the result, so he brings Ge Qiu along.
Guessing that she was coming, Xuan Yelan specially arranged a screen.
As for why the interrogation had to be held in the Imperial Study, this was what Qi Wuyou said.
Since everyone knows that Zhang Ji, a small minister of the Ministry of Revenue, dared to smuggle salt and hire someone to kill someone.
Who knows who the person behind him is? Qi Wuyou would never do such a thing as exposing a girl like Zhang Ruoning.
He was quietly taken to the imperial study early in the morning without leaking any information.
After Zhang Ji was captured, he was secretly sent to the palace.
After a few people asked quietly, Zhang Ji could also disappear quietly.
In fact, Xuan Yelan already had someone he suspected behind Zhang Ji.
There are only a few powerful families who can order Zhang Ji around.
It is naturally impossible for Lu, Li and Zhou to stand with him all the time. In addition, the imperial uncle and aunt are not at home all year round in the Prince of Pingyang's Mansion. Minghui is the only one in the entire Prince of Pingyang's Mansion all year round.
It seems impossible to settle down now.
Xuan Yelan sighed, then he was the only one left.
