Chapter 290 Why does this plot seem so familiar?
Lu Xinran always thought that she would have pre-marital phobia, but the closer she got to the wedding date, the more at ease she felt.
So many dowries... Even if she and Song Junyan become partners again in the future, with so many industries in her hands, she can still live an extremely comfortable life.
If that day really comes, he takes a concubine and she raises a puppy, the two of them might be able to exchange their experiences~
Thinking of this, her fear of getting married was reduced to the lowest level.
The night before the wedding, Lu Xinlan brought Tang Chongli back to the Lu Mansion.
She had come back once before to bring some makeup to Lu Xinran, but she only stayed in the mansion for half a day that time, and was talked to by Zhao for a long time. She didn't talk to Lu Xinran for a long time.
She was always worried about her dreamy sister, and was afraid that as the wedding date approached, she would be afraid of the new life that was about to begin.
On the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, he returned to Lu Mansion early in the morning.
After entering the house and greeting Pei and others, he immediately went to Lu Xinran's courtyard. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard laughter coming from the room.
Zhang Shuier and Tang Wanrou had already arrived and were talking to Lu Xinran about their daughter's family matters.
"Sister-in-law."
When Tang Wanrou saw Lu Xinlan coming in, she immediately stood up and went to greet him.
During this period, everything that happened at home would also be passed on to her.
She knew that Lu Xinlan insisted on having another child in two years, and she also knew that her mother was very unhappy about this.
She was caught in the middle and was in a dilemma, so she just pretended that she knew nothing.
Lu Xinlan smiled and nodded to her, but his eyes fell on Lu Xinran who was smiling brightly.
"Is my sister fully recovered?"
"Yes, my grandmother's supplements have made me fat."
She felt a little sad when talking about her rounded waist.
She tried on her wedding dress a few days ago and almost couldn't fasten the waist belt.
She still cannot forget the palace maid who came to deliver the dress and her barely concealed shock.
Lu Xinlan looked at her plump cheeks and pinched them with amusement: "It's better to be a little fatter. Fat people are blessed. Our Xinran is the most blessed girl."
Lu Xinran: “…”
She always felt that the other party was just brushing her off, but she had no evidence.
After they chatted and laughed for a while, Lu Xinlan finally felt relieved.
It seems that the silly girl is much better than she expected.
"An interesting thing happened in Beijing recently. Do you know?"
Zhang Shui'er suddenly lowered her voice stealthily, her big eyes rolling around, obviously trying to get some inside information from Lu Xinran.
Lu Xinran looked at her with a smile, wanting to know what interesting story she was talking about.
"You all know about the wedding of the King of Jin, right? It is said that on the wedding day, the King of Jin did not consummate his marriage with the Queen of Jin, but was called away by a favored concubine in his palace claiming to be sick, and stayed in the concubine's room for the entire night."
Lu Xinran: “…”
This plot always feels familiar.
Many of the novels she read in her previous life seemed to have this kind of clichéd plot.
"What happened next? Did Han Jung-woon cause any trouble?"
Lu Xinran recalled her brief encounter with Han Jingyun; that person didn't seem to have a good temper.
"Of course she did. It was her wedding night, and the groom just left her like that. He humiliated her and made her a complete laughing stock. How could she possibly swallow this!"
Zhang Shui'er became more and more excited as she spoke, and seeing that everyone was looking at her with great interest, her voice suddenly rose a few notches.
He raised his hand and made a pinky gesture, motioning for them to come closer.
"But you should all know more or less about Prince Jin's character. This marriage was originally arranged for him by Concubine Hua. After Concubine Hua died, he wanted to break off the engagement for the sake of his concubine, but was rebuked by His Majesty, it is said.
“And His Majesty has made it clear that this marriage cannot be cancelled, and Han Jingyun cannot be neglected, otherwise he will order his concubine to be executed directly.
"Prince Jin was holding a grudge, so when his concubine found an excuse to call him on their wedding night, he left immediately."
Lu Xinran clicked his tongue twice, recalling what he had seen when he went to worship his ancestors before.
No wonder I felt that Song Junhua was always distant from Han Jingyun at that time, and always looked dissatisfied. He felt that she had taken the position of his sweetheart.
It was quite novel to hear such a big news from someone else's mouth, and she listened with great interest.
"What happened next? What happened to Han Jung-woon?"
"Prince Jin didn't treat her well and never consummated his marriage with her. She first reported this to the Queen Mother, who had no choice but to tell His Majesty and my aunt about this.
"Your Majesty summoned the King of Jin to the palace and reprimanded him again. Since the King of Jin had been reprimanded twice by Your Majesty because of her, he must be even more unwilling to treat her well.
"No one knows whether they have consummated their marriage yet. Everyone is guessing how long the King of Jin can last."
Is it really true love that he would rather be scolded by the emperor again and again for the sake of that concubine?
Lu Xinran smacked her lips. It was a pity that Han Jingyun was not there, otherwise she could have flipped through his booklet.
"Your wedding will be tomorrow, and the Prince of Jin will probably bring the Princess of Jin to the Prince of Wei's mansion."
Zhang Shui'er frowned and made eyes, the implication of which was already very obvious.
Lu Xinran suppressed the smile that was about to well up on his lips and nodded solemnly: "You guys try to test the servants around her tomorrow, and we'll listen to the excitement together."
Thinking about the big news about Song Junhua and Han Jingyun, she felt for the first time that time was passing so slowly.
Even the wedding the next day no longer made her worry or anxious.
Zhang Shui'er originally wanted to stay at the Lu family that night, but she noticed that the two sisters had something to talk about in private, so she went back to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion with Tang Wanrou in the evening, preparing to come back early the next morning.
As soon as they left, the other relatives and friends in the house also went back to their rooms, leaving only the two sisters in the room.
Lu Xinran took Lu Xinlan's hand and looked him up and down.
"I heard that you and Liu had a very unhappy quarrel?"
No matter how open-minded and generous the Liu family is, they are still natives of this time and space. They must want to have descendants to continue the Tang family's bloodline.
Lu Xinlan made it clear that he would not give birth again until he was 20 years old, which was undoubtedly a naked challenge to her authority.
As a mother-in-law, she can find countless ways to torture Lu Xinlan as long as she wants.
"It is a little unpleasant, but it is to be expected. Don't worry, it will be resolved before the end of the year at the latest."
As long as she insisted on using contraceptive soup and refused to give birth, it would be of no use even if Liu was dissatisfied.
She was the one who entered the Tang Mansion in a sedan chair drawn by eight people, and she was the daughter-in-law she announced to the whole city. Even if she was dissatisfied with her, she would not disregard her own face and make this matter known to everyone.
Moreover, Tang Chongli had no objection to this and simply stood on her side, which was also what made Liu most upset.
"I didn't expect my brother-in-law to be so nice to me."
It was hard to believe that Tang Chongli, who was always polite, would disobey his mother.
Lu Xinlan couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips when he thought of Tang Chongli's expression that he was afraid that she would dislike him.
"He is indeed very good."
Not only did he stand firmly beside her, but he also went to see an imperial physician for fear that the contraceptive soup would harm her body, so he was the one who took the contraceptive soup.
His behavior made Liu very unwilling, but she had no choice. She could give up her daughter-in-law, but she could not give up her son.
