Chapter 12 Lian's Mother's Plan
It took the empress several days to give an explanation for the Yulan Festival incident. It was simply that the palace servants did not notice the beehive in the apricot blossom forest, and she had punished the palace servant in charge of the imperial garden.
As for the sachet that can repel wasps, the Ministry of Internal Affairs added herbs when making the sachet this year. Some herbs are of different types and can repel wasps while others cannot.
As for Su Ruian, she just said to the outside world that she had her period, in an attempt to cover it up.
Naturally, no one believed the Queen's explanation, but Emperor Jing of Wei did not say anything. Everyone knew that the Emperor did not intend to hold the Queen accountable, so they could only pretend not to know.
But in private, what happened in the Imperial Garden that day had spread everywhere, and Su Ruian had completely become a laughing stock in the capital.
The Lian family originally thought that after the marriage exchange, their status would be able to be improved to a higher level. Unexpectedly, first Lian Shizhao was beaten, and now Su Ruian was in trouble, and the Lian family was implicated again.
Mrs. Lian sighed and looked at Lian Shizhao: "Shizhao, if I had known it would be like this, I would have married Su Chenyu."
"Mom, Rui'an is pregnant with my child."
Madam Lian glared at Lian Shizhao and said, "She is a princess, but she got pregnant before marriage. It is obvious that she is not a clean person. This child may not be yours."
"Mother, don't talk nonsense!" Lian Shizhao's face darkened. "Ruian is the emperor and the queen's most beloved daughter. This time they tried every possible means to cover up for her. If I marry Ruian, the emperor will never treat me unfairly."
Lian's mother slammed the table in anger, "What do you know? A girl's reputation is naturally the most important thing. It's fine if she just lost her reputation, but she also made it known to everyone. Do you know that I dare not go out recently? Those ladies all laugh at me when they see me. Su Ruian is simply a jinx. Whoever marries her will be unlucky."
Lian Shizhao was also angry: "What does mother want to do? Go for another marriage?"
Lian's mother said, "The Queen Mother has summoned me to the palace tomorrow. She also wants to change the marriage."
"Who would dare to provoke Su Chenyu in her current state?"
"So the Queen Mother came out in person. I saw that Su Chenyu was very nice to me before, and she always gave me all the good things. But you don't even look at Su Ruian. She hasn't even come to see me since the exchange marriage." Lian's mother got angry when she mentioned this matter, "She's not as sensible as Su Chenyu!"
"Mother, please stop messing around. Go to the palace tomorrow and persuade the Queen Mother. Rui'an is pregnant with my child, so how could I not marry her?"
"Who dares to say that Su Ruian is pregnant now?" Lian's mother was quite proud. "Even the queen has to keep this a secret. Don't worry. Su Ruian has entered the door of the Lili Mansion. Do you think Lili Yanqing can still touch her even though she is disabled? When the time comes, you can say a few words, and she will still follow you, right?"
Lian Shizhao was moved after hearing what his mother said.
Su Ruian has the emperor and the empress behind him, and Su Chenyu has the family behind him. If I marry Su Chenyu, I can also have a secret meeting with Su Ruian. Isn't that the best of both worlds?
"Mother, can this really be done?"
"Don't worry. Su Chenyu loved you so much before, how could she let go of you like this? Women understand women best. If you want to marry her, she will definitely agree immediately. Li Liyanqing is a cripple. Is it possible that she is really willing to marry a cripple?"
"Then I'll have to trouble you, mother, to take care of this matter."
"You are my son. If I don't worry about you, who else can I worry about?"
