Chapter 73 Isn't this prince in front of me pretty good?

When she mentioned Luo Sijia's biological mother, Tang Quyan's cousin, the smile on Liu's face gradually became perfunctory.

Ji could only glance at his daughter-in-law secretly with guilt and a little grievance, and fumbled with the things in his sleeves at a loss.

[Luo Sijia's mother, the daughter of Mrs. Tang's younger sister, came to the capital to seek refuge when her family encountered problems. She lived in the Tang family for a long time.]

[At that time, Master Tang had already passed the imperial examination and entered the Dali Temple. He also married Liu and had a son.]

[Luo Sijia's mother Zhang didn't want to go back to her hometown to live a hard life, so she wanted to stay in the capital.]

[Then her vision was a bit high. The old lady's youngest son was not married at that time. If she had targeted Tang Qulei, the old lady would have agreed out of consideration for the sisterly relationship.]

[But at that time, Tang Qulei had no achievements, so people looked down on him. They also set their eyes on Liu's dowry and wanted to make him Tang Quyan's concubine.]

When Tang Wanrou heard the word "filling in the wife's womb", her heart began to tighten.

She had always known that her mother had a difficult labor giving birth to her and nearly lost her life. Her mother had never mentioned the reason, but now it seemed obvious that there was a reason.

When Ji heard her mention being a concubine, the guilt on her face became even heavier.

On the other hand, Liu's expression remained indifferent from beginning to end, as if the words in her heart had nothing to do with her.

Luo Sijia didn't know why everyone suddenly fell silent. She looked at Ji Shi awkwardly, but saw that she was only looking at Liu Shi in a flattering manner.

Lu Xinran buried his head, still concentrating on summarizing the content of the melon.

Luo Sijia's mother was not at home, so if she wanted to finish eating the melon, she could only switch back and forth between Ji, Liu and the other two, looking for clues.

[At that time, the Tang family was poor, and all the food and expenses of the Tang family depended on Mrs. Tang's dowry, and even the daily expenses of Zhang's mother and daughter were no exception.]

[The old lady was not on guard against them and never concealed the difficulties in the mansion.]

[Zhang wanted to stay and be the legal wife, but she didn't want to live a hard life with Tang Qulei, so she was thinking about Mrs. Tang's dowry.]

[Her idea at the time was that it would be best if she could kill Madam Tang. If that was not possible, she would stay and become a concubine to Master Tang. After all, cousins ​​are easier to kill. However, Master Tang was busy on official business, so she never found a chance to kill him.]

[Hmm, so men who focus on their careers are the most attractive! They won’t fall for any messy schemes.]

The inappropriate praise made those who were concentrating on watching the show feel as if they were out of place.

At the gate of the courtyard, Tang Quyan and Song Junyan were preparing to enter. They heard the compliment as soon as they took ten steps inside.

Meeting Song Junyan's puzzled and scrutinizing gaze, he shook his shoulders, feeling very proud.

His body and heart belong to his wife, which is different from other guys like him who only let girls block knives and break their legs.

Song Junyan: “…”

No, did he see contempt in his eyes? !

[Originally, Zhang wanted to take advantage of the day when Madam Tang gave birth to plot against Mr. Tang and her, and then have someone send the news to Madam Tang who was still giving birth, to stimulate her, and hopefully kill two people at once.]

[As a result, Mrs. Tang acted suddenly. Mr. Tang was on a case and was not in the capital. All her plans failed.]

[Although Madam Tang had a difficult life, both mother and daughter were safe. Zhang had missed this best opportunity and wanted to poison Madam Tang's food, but was discovered by the nanny beside Madam Tang.]

[The old lady was furious and drove both mother and daughter back to her hometown.]

[Mrs. Tang did not let the old lady tell Mr. Tang about such a dangerous matter, fearing that he would worry about his family and not be able to fully handle official business.]

[With a wife like this, what else can a husband ask for? Sir Tang, this is not smoke coming out of the ancestral tomb, this is the ancestral tomb on fire! ]

Obviously, the previous words made her angry and sad, but the last sentence still made Tang Wanrou almost unable to hold back her laughter.

[After Zhang returned, she always yearned for the rich life in the capital. Since she herself was unable to marry into the Tang family, she wanted her daughter to marry into the family.]

[She was afraid that Tang Chongli would get engaged after the mourning period ended, so she tried her best to send Luo Sijia to the capital.]

[The old lady thought she was here simply to atone for her mother's sins, and did not suspect that she had any bad intentions.]

[She had already bribed the servants around Tang Chongli and was waiting for the right opportunity to drug him and then make it a done deal, forcing Tang Chongli to marry her.]

Ji's eyes went dark and his body swayed a few times.

Why wouldn't her niece let their family go?

Is this to make her completely unable to raise her head in front of her daughter-in-law?

They respected etiquette and were self-disciplined and polite since childhood. They were kind-hearted. If the old man had not passed away at the wrong time, he would have passed the imperial examination and become an official in the court.

If something like that happened during the mourning period, his life would be ruined.

Even if he could get into high school in the next exam, he would have no future at all if such a shameful thing got out.

Ji understood all this best, so there was hatred in his eyes when he looked at Luo Sijia.

Liu suddenly stood up and poured a bowl of tea to Ji, "Mother, the lunch menu has not been finalized yet. What do you think about adding shredded eel?"

Ji came back to his senses and saw his daughter-in-law's concerned look, his eyes became even redder.

"Okay, okay, I'll follow your instructions. I don't know how I was blessed to have such a good daughter-in-law like you."

Luo Sijia had heard his mother talk about Liu many times, so when he heard Ji say this, he rolled his eyes subconsciously. Tang Wanrou, who turned her head away, saw everything.

"Why, cousin Luo, do you think that grandma is wrong? My mother can't stand this compliment?"

Luo Sijia hurriedly forced a smile: "No, no, my aunt is the most kind, Sijia likes her very much."

"My cousin has been in the capital for two months. Two days ago, your mother sent a message to you, asking you to return home as soon as possible. It is better to do it today than to wait for a day. So pack your things today and leave tomorrow."

She didn't want her grandmother and mother to be the bad guys, so she just spoke up and chased them away.

"What are you talking about? It's so noisy?"

Tang Quyan walked in with a smile, bowed to Ji, then turned and glanced at Luo Sijia.

"Someone from the Dali Temple will be going to Jinzhou tomorrow to handle a case. They will be there to take care of my mother on the way, so I don't have to worry."

"I……"

Luo Sijia thought that her mother would never write to say that she missed her, and the purpose of her coming to the capital had not been achieved yet. Her cousin Chongli read in the study in the front yard every day, and she seldom saw him. She had not found an opportunity for him to fall in love with her, so she could not leave Beijing.

She was panicking and trying to find some reasons for herself.

As soon as he raised his head, he met Tang Quyan's gaze that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

She could only suppress the panic in her heart, gritted her teeth and stood up to thank him.

[Eh, why are they rushing to chase us all of a sudden? They don't even give Rothgar more time. Did they realize that she has such dirty thoughts? ]

[But Luo Sijia's vision is still a bit narrow. Her mother only has the Tang family in her eyes, so she also only cares about Tang Chongli. There are not only members of the Tang family in the capital, and the prince in front of her is not bad. ]

[Why doesn't she focus on hooking up with Song Junyan? It would be more interesting if the two of them had a tragic love story.]

Song Junyan: ??? I didn’t provoke anyone!
