Liu Sihua and Luo Kejin exchanged another glance, and immediately beamed with joy.

"Hello, flower lady! Hello, flower lady!"

Luo Kejin quickly stepped forward and grabbed Luo Ziqian's shoulder.

"Which family's flower maid is she?"

"Hua Manlou's?"

"If you like her, I'll redeem her for you right away and make her my concubine, how about that?"

"If you don't like them, you can choose from Wanxiang Pavilion. The girls there are great..."

Luo Kejin was speaking enthusiastically when his ear was suddenly grabbed and pulled.

"Hey hey hey—"

Luo Kejin screamed in pain.

"How do you know the girls at Wanxiang Pavilion are good?"

"You've been there?"

Liu Sihua's sinister voice fell beside his ear, and Luo Kejin hurriedly begged for mercy.

"No, no, madam, please let me explain..."

"I heard that from someone else..."

"You know perfectly well that I would never go to a place like that..."

"Besides, even if I wanted to go, I don't have any money! All the money in the house is in your hands. What I do can't escape your eyes."

Luo Kejin spoke sincerely, clearly feeling wronged.

Liu Sihua thought about it and agreed that it made sense, but she still kept it in mind and decided to investigate the matter more thoroughly later.

After all, now is not the time to dwell on that; the most pressing matter is still our son's situation.

So soon, the two of them turned around and "interrogated" Luo Ziqian together.

Luo Ziqian had not expected his parents to react so strongly, and for a moment he was flustered and incoherent.

"I don't……"

As he spoke, he patted his head, still mindful of Gu Jingchun's reputation and remembering he couldn't implicate Gu Jingchun, so he casually said:

"I just thought that girl was pretty that day..."

Luo Ziqian thought the reason was rather far-fetched, and he himself might not believe it, but to his surprise, Luo Kejin and Liu Sihua were overjoyed.

"Great, that's wonderful."

"Beautiful! That's great!"

Liu Sihua said, "My son, as long as you like her, I can bring any pretty girl home for you."

Upon hearing this, Luo Ziqian exclaimed in delight.

"real?"

"Of course it's true."

Liu Sihua thought to herself, "She's just a girl in a brothel. As long as my son doesn't associate with men anymore, I'll redeem him even if there are ten of them."

But Luo Ziqian suddenly knelt down and said earnestly:

"Father, Mother, when I came back that day, I took a fancy to a girl. I would like to ask you to help me marry her."

Luo Kejin and Liu Sihua were stunned again. They looked at each other and couldn't believe what they had just heard.

After a moment, Liu Sihua tentatively spoke.

"Which family's girl have you taken a fancy to?"

Luo Ziqian said, "The eldest daughter of the Marquis of Yong'an's mansion is Gu Jingchun."

"oh……"

Luo Kejin breathed a sigh of relief.

But Liu Sihua suddenly opened her eyes wide.

"Are you talking about the real daughter of the Marquis of Yong'an's family who was just found, the one who grew up in the countryside?"

Luo Ziqian nodded.

"She...she's a widow with a three- or four-year-old child. Are you sure you want to marry her?"

Luo Ziqian nodded.

"Being a widow is not her fault; her son values ​​her as a person."

"Moreover, my son believes that since she is so good, the children she raises must also be excellent."

Looking at Luo Ziqian, who was so serious, Liu Sihua couldn't help but look at Luo Kejin.

Luo Kejin didn't think that much about it.

In his view, as long as his son could forget that man and wanted to marry a woman, even if she was a fool, he would happily marry her for him.

Therefore, Luo Kejin agreed immediately without any hesitation.

"Very well, I will immediately send someone to the Gu family to sound them out. If all goes well, we will arrange the marriage immediately."

Luo Kejin spoke quickly, afraid that if he spoke too slowly Luo Ziqian would regret it.

Liu Sihua also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The day after tomorrow is the Empress Dowager's birthday. When we get to the palace, I can have a good talk with Madam Gu about this matter."

“I’ve met that girl once before, and I can confirm that she is quite charming. I think her overall demeanor is in no way inferior to those noble ladies who have been raised from childhood.”

Liu Sihua was also aware that, given her son's current reputation in Tiandu, no woman would be willing to marry her.

If Gu Jingchun is of good character, he would be a good choice.

However, we still need to take a closer look at the specifics.

She'll have someone inquire now, and we should have the results by tonight. Wouldn't it be too late to wait until the birthday banquet the day after tomorrow?

Why don't we go to the Yong'an Marquis's residence tomorrow to check on the situation?

I might as well just go and place the order tomorrow, to avoid any unforeseen complications.

Liu Sihua was still pondering when Luo Ziqian interrupted her thoughts and continued, "Mother, I have another request."

"What?" Liu Sihua looked wary, afraid that her son would change his mind.

That's right.

Luo Ziqian said.

"That girl didn't have a good life in the Yong'an Marquis's mansion. Her mother brought her back so that she could marry the Third Prince in place of her sister."

So, Mother, if you go to their door so abruptly, they probably won't agree to this marriage.

"What!"

Liu Sihua suddenly stood up.

"Marry the Third Prince?"

"That's her own daughter! How could the Gu family be so heartless!"

Luo Kejin was also very shocked.

Having served in the imperial court for a long time, he knew that the emperor had some reservations about the Yong'an Marquis's family and that the emperor's intention to arrange a marriage between the Yong'an Marquis's family and the Third Prince was also a way of suppressing them.
