"No, that's impossible. Qianlang won't do that."
Although Lian Yiyi said that she believed in Zhao Qian, she had already collapsed on the bed powerlessly, her face pale and she didn't have the strength to move.
"Master, what should Yiyi do?"
Mrs. Lian's mind went blank and she couldn't think of any solution.
If she had known that Zhao Qian was such a person, she would have stopped Lian Yiyi and would never let her attend the funeral. In this way, she would not have met Zhao Qian and nothing would have happened afterwards.
"What else can we do? Get rid of the evil child in her belly, and then go to a nunnery on the mountain to practice Buddhism with uncut hair for a while, saying that it is to pray for the grandmother at home." Lian Yan said.
Wait until the situation isn't so tense, then let Lian Yiyi come back.
Although Mrs. Lian was reluctant, this was the last resort.
I hope that after Lian Yiyi goes there for a while and comes back, everyone will forget what she did.
"Master, it's still Chinese New Year. I don't want Yiyi to pass away so soon."
"Don't worry, my aunt's condition is just like giving birth. She needs to rest for at least a month before she can go out.
By then the weather will be warmer, and traveling will be much more convenient," said Xie Yunjiao.
"But if Yiyi doesn't leave now, will someone talk behind her back?" Mrs. Lian was a little worried.
"I have a good idea." Xie Yunjiao said.
Early the next morning, Old Lady Lian asked someone to call the imperial physician. The old imperial physician, who was familiar with her, said that Old Lady Lian was injured due to depression and asked her to relax and not think too much. If she felt better, her body would naturally get better.
The old lady sighed and hesitated to speak.
Before the imperial physician left, Lian Yiyi came over. She knelt in front of Old Madam Lian and apologized to her, saying that she shouldn't have done such a shameful thing and made Old Madam Lian worry.
She also said that she would go to the nunnery to pray for Old Madam Lian and would not come back until she was well again.
Old Lady Lian advised Lian Yiyi not to be impulsive, but Lian Yiyi said she had made up her mind and did not need any further persuasion.
Not long after, "Lian Yiyi" left the Lian Mansion in a carriage and headed for the nunnery outside the city.
It didn't take long for the news to spread throughout the capital.
Zhao Qian also knew about it, but at that time he was preparing for his wedding with the eldest daughter of the Yan family and had no time to pay too much attention to it.
Their wedding date is in February. Both families are wealthy and noble in Beijing, so this marriage is destined to be extraordinary.
With so many people in the capital and so many eyes watching, he naturally couldn't mess this up.
"I didn't expect Lian Yan to be so decisive. As soon as this happened, he sent that stupid woman Lian Yiyi away." said the Fifth Prince.
I originally wanted to use Lian Yiyi to bring shame to the Lian family, but I didn't expect her to leave the capital so soon.
"It's better for her to leave, otherwise she will come to ruin my wedding." Zhao Qian said.
"The Yan family has always been unwilling to marry into our family. Why did they suddenly agree this time?" The Fifth Prince still finds it hard to understand.
"I met Miss Yan once before. Maybe that was the reason why she changed her impression of me?" Zhao Qian tilted his mouth to reveal a smug smile.
The Fifth Prince also laughed: "As long as we join forces, no one will dare to stop us even if we walk sideways in the capital in the future."
The father and son looked at each other and burst into laughter.
***
Days passed one by one, and Lian Yiyi went from resisting at the beginning to being drugged and finally accepting her fate, and finally made it to the age of fourteen.
As long as we get through tomorrow's fifteenth day, the New Year will be over.
But everyone was as serious as facing a great enemy and was still preparing at home, because on the fifteenth day of every year, officials of the fourth rank and above could bring their families to attend the Lantern Festival banquet held in the palace.
In previous years, Lian Yan brought his wife Lian and Lian Yiyi to participate. This time, Lian Yiyi had nominally gone to a nunnery to practice, so it was impossible for her to enter the palace.
Furthermore, even if Lian Yiyi didn't go to the nunnery, she wouldn't appear in front of everyone unless she wanted to be laughed at by everyone.
Although Lian Yiyi said that she didn't want to go, Mrs. Lian could still see that Lian Yiyi wanted to attend the banquet.
Lian Yiyi was stubborn and never let go of Zhao Qian.
"Mom, can you help me and take me to the Lantern Festival banquet? I promise you that as long as I see Qianlang and talk things through, I will give up." Lian Yiyi looked at Mrs. Lian with misty eyes.
Mrs. Lian looked at Lian Yiyi with pity. The child had lost a lot of weight after that incident. She looked listless and sat in the house crying every day.
Now she came to beg her, and she felt softened by her actions.
"Mom, please."
Lian Yiyi saw that Mrs. Lian was wavering, and hurriedly grabbed Mrs. Lian's hand and shook it pleadingly.
"But your father said he won't let you go. You're putting your mother in a difficult position by doing this." Mrs. Lian said helplessly.
"Mom, I really want to see Qianlang and explain everything to him. You don't want to see your daughter lose her happiness in such an unclear way, right?" Lian Yiyi started crying as she spoke.
Mrs. Lian felt distressed and sad, but finally couldn't help but agree: "Okay, mother promises you, just drink this bowl of medicine obediently first."
This medicine was prescribed by Xie Yunjiao for Lian Yiyi to nourish her body.
Although Lian Yiyi found it bitter, she still gritted her teeth and drank it, much more refreshingly than usual.
When Mrs. Lian saw that Lian Yiyi had finished her medicine, she gave her a piece of candied fruit and asked her to eat it.
After eating the candied fruit, Lian Yiyi's frown finally relaxed: "Mom, I want to dress up."
She had to dress up beautifully to meet Zhao Qian.
"Okay, Mom will get you clothes right away." Mrs. Lian turned her head and suddenly heard a bang.
She turned her head in panic and immediately saw Lian Yiyi fainted on the bed.
"Yiyi, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"
No matter how Mrs. Lian called out, Lian Yiyi showed no signs of waking up.
Looking at her expression, she looked like she was asleep, without any expression of pain.
Mrs. Lian was a little confused when the door suddenly opened and Xie Yunjiao walked in. "Don't worry, she just fell asleep. She will wake up after the party is over."
"Why did you do this? You actually drugged Yiyi, you black-hearted woman!"
Mrs. Lian was about to hit Xie Yunjiao, but Xie Yunjiao took her hand and held it tightly: "If you let her go, you will really be doing something bad with good intentions."
A glimmer flashed in Mrs. Lian's eyes, and she said stubbornly, "What do you mean by letting her go? I don't know what you are talking about."
Xie Yunjiao curled her lips and smiled: "It's not the best, then I did this just to listen to my father and take more precautions."
When Mrs. Lian heard that it was Lian Yan who asked Xie Yunjiao to do this, she was shocked.
She thought Lian Yan had guessed it. If she really took Lian Yiyi with her, she was afraid that Lian Yan would be rude to her afterwards.
"I'm too lazy to talk to you so much." Mrs. Lian walked away with a guilty conscience.
