Chapter 250: It’s just that it hasn’t been firmly chosen

Lu Xinran felt happy when she left.

Talking to smart people saves effort; the other person can understand what you mean without you having to say it explicitly.

If the emperor really activates the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion, then the Cui family can be regarded as an old power that will have a second spring.

If you want to seize power, military power is essential, and it may save your life at a critical moment.

Whether in the past or now, the Cui family and the Zhang family have an intricate relationship.

Even if the princes attacked at the same time, Lu Xinran thought it would be easier for Song Junyan to succeed.

After all, he is the prince who is closest to the empress, and if Cui Shenglin really has Zhang Shuier in her heart, given her friendship with Zhang Shuier, the balance in her heart will be more inclined towards them.

Thinking of this, she felt a little more satisfied with herself.

With the help of the system, she can only do more.

When returning to Lu's house, Kong had already told him in detail what she had seen and heard at the Tang family today.

After hearing what happened in the Marquis Zhongyong's mansion, Pei felt a little dazed.

How could the Cui family become so chaotic?

It's fine for three generations to live in one courtyard, but how can a concubine...

She felt uncomfortable when she thought that the servants in the Bo's mansion were most likely children born to concubines.

She had been to the Duke of Zhongyong's mansion several times before!

"Old uncle was a very powerful figure in his past. How come he became so confused after leaving Haishan Pass?"

Kong was speechless after being asked this question. Her three perspectives were almost shattered today and she is still in shock.

"Perhaps they feel that life has come to this point and their descendants won't bother to think about it anymore."

It is natural that one would want to mess things up since he is destined to have no future.

Pei was about to say something when she heard the servants in the courtyard paying their respects to Lu Xinran.

"Why are you back so soon?"

Pei waved at Lu Xinran with a smile. Lu Xinran walked forward and sat down with a smile, wanting to say that he and Song Junyan had already made peace and said everything that needed to be said.

But then he remembered that Song Junyan seemed to have not mentioned to anyone that he was interested in the throne, and he still looked like he had no intention of doing so.

So the words came to my lips and changed to: "There are some changes in the palace. The prince asked me to go over and take a look."

"Well, that's where you're going to live after you get married. Take a closer look at it and make it more comfortable for you to live in later."

Lu Xinran found an excuse not to tell the truth, and Pei naturally didn't ask any more questions.

As an old woman who was about to be buried, she really didn't want to worry too much.

"Have you had lunch at the palace?"

"Yes, Grandmother. The prince said that my sister might be back by the end of the year."

Since Yucheng Pass can be recaptured in three months at most, the empress will probably come back after the war is over.

When she came back, Lu Xinlan would naturally come back with her.

When Pei heard her say that, she realized her intention almost instantly.

She smiled and nodded, then thought for a moment and asked, "Did you meet many wives of other families in the Tang residence today?"

"Yes, Madam Tang invited quite a few people to her house today."

When Lu Xinran thought of those people, his eyes rolled again.

In her opinion, if it is not a firm choice but the result of weighing the pros and cons, then there is no point in making such a choice.

She would rather Lu Xinlan find a good man who would treat her well at the border and live a free life there.

"Mrs. Tang only has one son, so it's normal for her to be cautious when choosing a wife for him."

It's only natural for Zhao to be picky about Lu Yuanheng.

But she knew that Liu's action might arouse Lu Xinran's jealousy.

Lu Xinran smiled faintly and snorted, "Those girls are all of the best in terms of family background and appearance. Madam Tang should be able to find a daughter-in-law that suits her."

As for Lu Xinlan, she didn't mention much about these things before she came back.

She couldn't sacrifice her closest person just to help Song Junyan take the throne.

Pei looked at her with a smile, feeling inexplicably moved.

This girl... is really too similar to Zhao in many cases. These two are indeed mother and daughter.

Lu Jinchuan was still thinking about letting Lu Xinlan marry into the Tang family, so since Pei and Lu Xinran refused to write a letter, he wrote it himself.

However, after the letter was delivered to the border, it fell into oblivion and no reply was received for a long time.

He was very dissatisfied, but he did not dare to offend the empress. He could only grit his teeth and hesitated for a long time before writing another letter to send to the border.

There were quite a few ladies and girls in the Tang Mansion the day before, so within two days, the scandalous incident in the inner chamber of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion spread throughout the capital.

When Zhang Shuier heard the news, she was shocked at first, and then found it difficult to accept.

She could accept that the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion had so many people because his old uncle was still alive and the family had not been divided, but she could not accept the dirty things that were almost incestuous.

She felt uncomfortable at the thought that she would have to live in a mansion like that after getting married.

I invited Lu Xinran to a teahouse, and as soon as she entered the door, she asked what she should do.

Lu Xinran was stunned by her question for a long time, and then he said speechlessly: "Shouldn't your parents help you decide whether to get married or not? And then there is your feelings for Cui Wu."

Ask her what to do, she can't make the decision for her.

“But, but they don’t know either.”

Naturally, her mother wanted to cancel the engagement with the Marquis's Mansion immediately, but Cui Shenglin was now at the border, perhaps already fighting with the army. If the news of the cancellation of the engagement reached the border, he would be emotionally unstable and encounter an accident, wouldn't it mean that their Zhang family owed the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion?

But if they agreed to this marriage, they really couldn't accept it.

"Lu Er, you always have the most ideas. Can you help me think of a solution?"

Zhang Shuier held her wrist tightly with such force that Lu Xinran frowned subconsciously.

"Okay, let's sit down and talk first."

Pulling the person to sit at the table, Lu Xinran began to make tea with not very skillful movements.

Pushing the tea bowl in front of Zhang Shui'er, she said slowly, "If it's not convenient to cancel the engagement immediately, then find a reason to postpone the wedding date and wait for Cui Shenglin to come back and ask him about his attitude."

If the Bo family is interested in this marriage, they will always provide a solution.

If it's just an excuse to cover up, then bring up the matter of canceling the engagement.

"But it may affect your future marriage."

"What's the point of talking about the future? Right now, eh, I'm scared of the thought of getting married."

When I was young and ignorant, I always thought that the person I wanted to marry was Song Junyan. But when I came to my senses, I realized how difficult the situation of the Queen and the Zhang family was.

I let go of that thought and finally fell in love with someone again, only to find out that his family was so messy and horrible.

It must be her destiny that makes it difficult for her to get married, otherwise why would her marriage be so unsuccessful.

"When you reach the end of the tunnel, there will always be a way out. Don't worry, you still have your family. They will always support you and find a solution."

If the Duke of Zhongyong's Mansion is really unwilling to provide an acceptable solution, then this marriage matter should be resolved.

It's a pity that Cui Sheng's neighbor's kindness was wasted. If we ignore the scandals in Bo's house, this would have been a good marriage.
