Chapter 197 Only She Can Hate Her

Lu Xinran was troubled all night.

She despised herself for not refusing outright, and wondered why it took three years.

If I can't live with the prince after marrying him, can I get a divorce?

If that guy wants to start a tragic love story, what should she do if she doesn't want to be the heroine?

Can he really do everything he promised? Do we need him to write a letter of commitment and sign it with his fingerprints?

She had been thinking about all these things the whole night, but she had never thought about asking Lu Xinlan for money to plan an escape route.

The sound was too fragmented, and Lu Xinlan found that he was lying next to her, and the sound gradually disappeared.

It seems that after this system upgrade, the voices of their hearts will no longer float in their ears indefinitely.

Only when it comes to eating melons, the voice of your heart can be heard especially clearly.

This is good, at least it gives her a little more privacy and she won't be invisible in front of others.

Looking at the little girl who was still tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, she smiled and closed her eyes.

When Lu Xinran closed his eyes and fell asleep, it was already dawn outside.

When he woke up again, there was no one beside him. Lu Xinlan had already stood up to pay his respects to Mrs. Pei.

She rubbed her forehead, her head still aching a little as she thought about the knot that had troubled her all night.

"Go get ready. I'm going to my grandmother's room too."

Lu Xinlan had already gone there first, and Pei should have known what Song Jun said the night before the banquet.

As for how to choose, her grandmother must have a better understanding of the trade-offs than she does.

In Zhaoyun Courtyard, Zhao listened to Lu Xinlan's words and was filled with anger.

"No! I don't agree! Why did that damn girl snatch your marriage fate as soon as she came back? The position of princess was originally yours, why is the person who is going to marry the fourth prince now the damn girl!"

The more Zhao thought about it, the angrier she became, but the person who changed his mind was the emperor, leaving her with no place to vent her anger.

Pei glanced at him coldly and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about! Xinran was born from your belly. Whether you are willing to acknowledge her or not, she is of Lu's blood.

"Besides, with her special qualities, do you think His Majesty would let her marry into an ordinary family?"

Several unmarried princes have already been engaged. Even if they have not been formally arranged to marry, they already have marriage contracts verbally mentioned by the emperor.

The third prince is going to get married in March, and the fifth prince has already been engaged to his cousin from his maternal grandfather's family.

Although the Sixth Prince is already eighteen years old, he still has two years to go before he can start his own government. How can the Emperor wait that long?

"There is still the Sixth Prince! How could she snatch the Fourth Prince! He is our Xin Lan's husband!"

Zhao was still unwilling in her heart, and Pei looked at her coldly and shook her head.

"What do you think the royal family is? How can the two sisters marry the prince at the same time? Even without her, Xin Lan's marriage to the Fourth Prince would be cancelled."

It is just a coincidence that the emperor has only one son without an engagement.

Zhao slid down to the ground and watched Lu Xinlan crying bitterly.

"What a sin this is! Yuanheng's marriage has been delayed again and again, and Xinlan's marriage is not going well either."

Lu Xinlan stepped forward and helped her up, "Mom, my sister is my relative. I am happier than anyone else that she can have a good home.

"You are all my closest family and I hope all of you are doing well.

"Can you treat your sister as close to me as you do to me? She is your biological daughter. It's so unfair to her..."

Zhao's heart was trembling, and she held her arm tightly: "But, but what will you do if I get close to her? Your parents in the countryside have passed away."

How could she bear to let the child she raised become a poor little thing without a father or a mother and no one to care for him?

Lu Xinlan smiled and wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "Mom, you are being too picky again. There is no conflict between your concern for your sister and your continued closeness to me.

“Besides, I still have my grandmother, and my sister treats me as her own sister, so I feel much more comfortable here than my sister does.

"She has no parents to care for her, and everyone knows that she was brought back from the countryside. She is the poor one. Are you willing to let your own daughter be looked down upon by those ladies?"

Zhao clenched her fists. She…she couldn’t bear to do it.

Even if she and that damn girl glared at each other when they met, that damn girl could only quarrel with her!

Only she can dislike her.

Seeing that she was moved, Lu Xinlan knew that her stubborn personality would take time to change, so he changed the subject.

"Grandma, I still have some doubts about this, but if the imperial edict is issued, it will be difficult to change it."

"Well, Grandma understands. Don't worry. If that girl doesn't want to accept this marriage, Grandma will sacrifice her old bones to seek freedom for her."

Lu Xinran, who had just entered the outer compartment, happened to hear these two sentences. Her heart was warmed, and she wiped away the tiredness on her face and walked into the house with a smile.

When Pei saw her come in, she waved her hand and asked her to come over and sit down. "You, don't think too much about anything. Just think about whether this marriage suits your heart. If you think that the Fourth Prince is not a good match, Grandmother will find a way for you."

Lu Xinran hugged her arms happily and responded sweetly.

"I know my grandma is the best to me!"

Her grandmother was kind to her, so how could she make things difficult for her?

If she doesn't want this marriage, she can just wrap up the money and run away!

Anyway, there are many people in the capital who want to marry the prince, and she is not the only one left.

Listening to her thoughts, Lu Xinlan silently lit a candle for Song Junyan.

That person was so willing to make so many promises, he must be afraid that she would want to run away at any time~

She couldn't tell whether the Fourth Prince was a pervert, but... she still saw that he had some shame.

Lu Xinran was still struggling and hadn't decided whether to ask what three years meant. Upon hearing the news, Lu Jinchuan was worried throughout the morning court.

Originally, Lu Xinlan couldn't marry Song Junyan because of her family background, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Without having to establish a relationship with the prince in advance, he could just wait and see, and then take the absolute initiative in the final choice of the master.

But if Lu Xinran becomes the Fourth Prince's consort, the Lu family will be forced to take sides.

Regardless of whether Song Junyan had the intention of usurping the throne, he would become extremely passive.

He was anxious, and undercurrents were surging in the court.

Sun Linyuan and all the members of the Sun family were sent to prison, and the position of Minister of War became vacant.

Countless people saw and coveted this rapid promotion to the second-rank official position.

The emperor has been thinking over and over again in recent days whether to re-employ the Zhang family.

He didn't want to listen to the nonsense of a little girl, but he looked around and saw that there were only a few people in the court who could be worthy of the position of Minister of War.

No matter who is mentioned, I feel like something is missing.

But using Zhang Yongping...will the power given to him become a sharp blade that stabs himself?

The emperor was also filled with grievances. When he saw Lu Jinchuan hesitated to speak, he dismissed him out of disgust.

His prince is well-mannered and handsome, and it was that girl who took advantage of him by letting him marry her. Yet, old man Lu Jinchuan is actually reluctant!

Who the hell does he think he is to look down on his son!
