Chapter 212 His son is a bit stupid
The emperor threw the case report and testimony at Song Junyan.
Song Junyan bent down and picked up the testimony, then calmed down and walked away under the emperor's angry gaze.
The emperor looked at his leaving back and suddenly remembered that more than just this one thing had happened the night before. His mood suddenly cleared up and he called back the person who was about to leave.
"Were you drunk yesterday?"
Song Junyan: “!”
He was about to suppress the embarrassment from before, why did his father bring it up again and make him recall it!
The emperor felt a little better when he saw that his son was no longer as calm as before.
This son always behaves in a somewhat rigid way, but he is also inexplicably funny about certain things.
"Do you want to change the princess? You will be crowned king next month. If you want to change the princess, it's not too late. I can promise you that as long as you don't want to marry Lu Xinran, I will never force you."
Song Junyan felt very awkward as he inexplicably had the right to say no.
He looked up and saw the emperor's smiling face, and his upset heart instantly calmed down.
The right to say no was his illusion, and his father was just taking the opportunity to laugh at him.
"My son's marriage is entirely up to the Emperor."
"The emperor nodded, and paced a few steps in the palace with a smile: "Then I'll let you marry the girl from the Ling family, are you willing?"
Song Junyan: “…”
He doesn't want to!
He didn't want to marry a scheming wife who would do anything to achieve her goals, even at the cost of her own reputation.
This is worse than letting him be the pervert that Lu Xinran calls him for the rest of his life.
"Since you are going to marry, you should marry someone who has you in her heart. The girl from the Lu family has no heart. Do you really think she is suitable for you?"
Sensing his embarrassment, the emperor, feeling that he had turned the tables, stopped teasing him. At this moment, he cared about his son like a normal father.
Song Junyan thought of all the things he had thought of in the carriage on the way here, and became serious again under the emperor's slightly concerned gaze.
"Father, I don't know if it's appropriate, but I feel that I am familiar with her and know her personality well, so it's much better than marrying a stranger."
Be familiar with each other and know each other's personalities.
The emperor clicked his tongue twice, thinking his son was a little stupid.
"Okay, since you already have the answer in your heart, I will not ask any more questions. The imperial decree for your marriage will be sent to the Lu family on your coming of age next month."
In Lu Mansion and Zhaoyun Courtyard, Pei was comforting Qi, who had been crying since she entered the house.
Qi originally came to express her gratitude, but after entering the door, she couldn't control the urge to cry.
After Pei said, "You have suffered a lot these years," her tears started to fall like beads from a broken string.
"Old lady..."
Qi finally stopped crying, sobbing with red eyes, "I have been tormented all these years!"
Fan Tian favored his concubine and killed his wife. Over the years, he treated her and his two sons coldly for the sake of his concubine.
And because of that cruel and vicious concubine, she killed her daughter Lin'er.
She didn't know how many times she had cried for her daughter over the years. Every time she thought that it didn't matter if her daughter was gone, because she still had her granddaughter.
But she only found out yesterday that her granddaughter had passed away long ago.
How could Fan Ling be so vicious!
That's a baby in swaddling clothes, how can there be no room for her!
Pei had suffered enough from having a concubine in the mansion over the years, and she knew very well how much injustice her husband would suffer if he favored his concubine over his wife.
She sighed and signaled the maid in the room to get some water for Qi to wash her noodles.
"We still have to look forward. After today, those two people will definitely be punished. This will comfort the souls of the mother and daughter in heaven.
"Don't think too much, and don't be hard on yourself. As women, we have to work hard and move forward, and take good care of ourselves so that our children and grandchildren can rely on us.
"Let go of the past once it has come to fruition."
If you don’t live longer, how can you outlast those scumbags!
It doesn't matter if you can't deal with those concubines now. It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Once the scum is dead, they can do whatever they want!
Qi's eyes turned red again, knowing that Pei was trying to comfort her and teach her what to do.
She gritted her teeth and nodded vigorously: "Thank you for your comfort, old lady. I will."
As she spoke, she seemed to have just remembered why she came to Lu's residence today, and hurriedly turned around to take a list from the maid.
"This is a thank-you gift from me to the child. I don't know how to thank her in person, so I'll ask you to pass this on to her."
The girl didn't know that others could hear her thoughts, so it was difficult to hand the list directly to her.
Therefore, handing it over to Pei and letting her pass it on was the safest solution she could think of.
Pei glanced at the items on the list and found that they were not expensive and would not arouse the girl's suspicion, so she let Madam Xu take them.
"It's just a piece of cake for that girl, don't take it to heart."
"It was just a small matter for her, but I have been looking for the truth about Lin'er's death for many years. I always have a feeling that she was murdered."
Now that the truth has been revealed, even though it is so cruel that it makes her heart ache just thinking about it, she can finally put her mind at ease after being worried for more than a decade.
For her, things can't end like this!
Fan Tian's concubine...she's got room!
Didn't he favor his concubine and kill his wife?
For the sake of his concubine, he didn't even care about his own daughter, so she just helped him.
She wanted to see how he would choose between fame and future.
In Lu Xinlan's room, looking at the contents flashing on the booklet, Lu Xinran sighed softly.
"Sister, if it wasn't a blind marriage..."
"will not."
Knowing what she was going to ask, Lu Xinlan seemed to be able to see into Pei's house at a glance through the doors and windows.
In the past, when love was free, there were so many cheating cases. Blind marriage was part of the reason, but it was not the absolute reason.
Lu Xinran sighed again. Forget it. It’s up to Qi to decide how to get rid of her anger.
Not everyone has the courage to divorce in old age with children and grandchildren around.
[Let's go check on the Tang family. Since my sister thinks love is not important, and she can't leave the capital easily because of the karma of her original body, then help her find a clean family! ]
Hearing her talk about herself, Lu Xinlan immediately became interested.
She had a great liking for the Tang family, and if it was a family she could entrust the rest of her life to, she would be willing to marry into their family.
After all, it is not easy for a woman to leave her family and survive outside.
Just the issue of setting up a household is difficult to resolve. An unmarried woman without children is not allowed to set up a female household.
If they wanted to escape, they could only flee from Da Chu or find a place with few people.
[Tang family, let’s start with Liu family! ]
In the nearby courtyards, the few people who heard this voice almost all stopped what they were doing instantly.
In Zhaoyun Courtyard, Qi, who was wiping her tears, could no longer cry.
Eating melon is good, it can soothe a bitter heart, she must eat her fill before leaving today.
