Chapter 375 Marriage

Mrs. Chen was shocked. Su Qingwan was so young, but she had a different kind of majesty. She couldn't believe that she was shocked by a little girl.

Su Qingwan also had no patience for others, "Mrs. Chen, are you sure you want to continue talking to me?"

Mrs. Chen felt a layer of cold sweat on her back. She didn't expect the princess to have such a temper. She didn't have much contact with Su Qingwan, and heard that she was very cunning. She even laughed and said that a twenty-year-old girl couldn't be cunning. She didn't expect that she was really cunning. Such majesty was terrifying. Mrs. Chen was extremely afraid. She felt that Su Qingwan could do something that would destroy the Chen family.

The Li family incident was a lesson for the nobles, and Mrs. Chen also felt that she was a little naive when she visited today.

"Princess, even if the marriage fails, there's no need to be upset. If you feel that our family is marrying above your station, I won't discuss the marriage." Mrs. Chen smiled awkwardly.

Su Qingwan raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Whether the Third Miss is the biological daughter of the Lu family or the adopted daughter of the Lu family, she is the darling of the family and the only sister of Lu Jing. If her reputation is ruined, I can't guarantee what Lu Jing will do. You have heard about the murders and confiscations when he was the commander of the Jinyiwei. So, don't mess with us. We all care about the Third Miss's reputation, so, Madam Chen, you'd better keep your mouth shut. The same goes for your son. He is already useless. It's his own fault for not living up to his expectations. You should reflect on yourself and don't drag our girl down with you. You have more than one son, right?"

Mrs. Chen's legs went weak and she regretted her visit. Yes, she had three sons. Although her other two sons did not hold high official positions, they were still on the path to officialdom. If she felt sorry for Chen Nanhuai and ruined her sons' future, she would regret it deeply.

"Princess, I understand."

"If I were you, you'd better send your son back home and get married quietly. Don't go back to the capital. There are many gossips in the capital, and your son is a drunkard. If he talks nonsense after drinking and says something unpleasant, I will take my anger out on the Chen family. It will be difficult to explain, and it will be very ugly if there is a commotion. You don't want to ruin the entire family for a useless son. The Li family is so cruel that they let their concubine's daughter suddenly fall ill. If you are a woman with a soft heart, I think your husband or father-in-law is also cruel enough. In the future, if there are any rumors, I will blame you and Chen Nanhuai. So, Madam Chen, take care of yourself."

"Princess, are you threatening me?"

"Yes!" Su Qingwan answered frankly. This was a threat.

Mrs. Chen fled in panic, feeling extremely frustrated. The next day, Li Yue reported back that Mrs. Chen had sent Chen Nanhuai back to her hometown and was afraid that he would not return to the capital in the future. The matter was thus settled.

Zhang also breathed a sigh of relief and became more convinced of Su Qingwan. Now she didn't care about the affairs of the palace and the second branch of the Lu family at all, and let Su Qingwan handle them. She believed that Su Qingwan, with such skills, scheming, and stability, would definitely assist Lu Jing to reach a higher level. She just had to not cause trouble.

Lu Yuntang was depressed for several days, but she quickly cheered up and followed Zhang's arrangements to meet men. They were soon engaged. They chose Zhang's family, her sister-in-law's family, so they knew her well. Although the family was not high-ranking, they were down-to-earth and very motivated. Lu Yuntang and Chen Nanhuai had had such an experience, so it was not suitable for her to marry into a wealthy and noble family. If she married into a wealthy family, the matter would be exposed in the future, and Lu Yuntang would have to suffer. There was still a long way to go, so she had to be fully prepared.

Zhang and Lu Yuntang also accepted it.

Chen Lanzhu said with some regret, "Originally, the third young lady is the prince's biological sister, so her marriage should have been the best. I didn't expect..."

Getting married once ruined her future.

Su Qingwan smiled and said, "There's still a long way to go. Just because it's not good now doesn't mean it won't be bad in the future."
