Chapter 1046

"Lord Yuan," Dong Zhuo looked at Yuan Kui and said: "I, Dong Zhuo, am a crude person, and this has never changed from beginning to end."

"Lord Yuan had the grace of recommending me back then, and I, Dong Zhuo, also keep it in mind."

"As for the court struggles, it is not what I am good at."

"But I will definitely convey Lord Yuan's words today to Ziyi."

"Please rest assured on this point, Lord Yuan."

Yuan Kui smiled and nodded: "Ziyi has great talent and naturally knows my meaning. Since Zhongying has said so, what else do I have to worry about."

"I won't be staying in Luoyang for too long. After resolving this matter, I am preparing to retire and return to my hometown."

"When a person gets old, they just want to be able to enjoy their old age under the fields and trees, with children and grandchildren all around."

"By the way, I brought some gifts for Zhongying, which I think you should be interested in."

Gifts?

Interested?

Dong Zhuo was a little curious.

What kind of gift could Yuan Kui send him?

He doesn't lack anything now.

Yuan Kui beckoned to the servant he brought.

The servant brought a vermilion-lacquered wooden box.

After opening the wooden box, he took out a jade box from inside.

"Zhongying, I know that Zhongying had a son before, who died early, and since then there have been no heirs."

"Although you now have such an outstanding son-in-law as Ziyi, you always need someone to serve by your sickbed in your later years."

"There is a box of jade pills here, which someone gave to me in my early years."

"I won't hide it from Zhongying, in my early years I also wanted to seek a son but couldn't get one, but after taking these jade pills, I was happy to have three sons."

"Why doesn't Zhongying take them and try? I think this thing is very useful. Even if you can't get a son, it has other uses."

Looking at the smile on Yuan Kui's face, Dong Zhuo already understood where the use was.

Having no son has always been Dong Zhuo's pain point.

Just as Yuan Kui said.

Although he has such an outstanding son-in-law as Duan Yu, if he could have another son, that would of course be the best.

And he is now in his prime.

Although Yuan Kui's words were a bit like rubbing salt into a wound, it was also out of good intentions.

"Then many thanks to Lord Yuan, I will accept this gift."

Yuan Kui smiled and nodded: "It should be so." ===== CHAPTER 1048 =====
