Seeing her mother's suddenly stern face, Han Juhua shrank back and quickly nodded, "Mom, I know! You will definitely help me fulfill my wish, right?"
This time, Madam Meng did not refuse. This was no small matter, and she needed to go back and discuss it with Boss Han.
If it really works out, their family might really rise to prominence.
As for Han Luoxue, she should at least show some respect for Han Qiang. She can't afford to distance herself from Han Qiang just because he married Juhua, can she?
"I knew you were the smartest and most resourceful, Mother!"
Han Juhua's hands trembled with excitement. She believed that as long as her mother was willing to help her, she would get what she wanted sooner or later.
As for Han Luoxue... Han Juhua looked at Han Luoxue, who was surrounded by a crowd not far away. Did she think that she was the only one who could make decisions in this world?
Even without Han Luoxue's help, I can still achieve my goal.
So what if Han Luoxue doesn't like her? Will she distance herself from Han Qiang and the others because of that? Han Juhua gritted her teeth secretly; she was determined to get Han Kun. As long as she could marry him, she believed her future would be much better, and her family's life would also improve.
Especially her parents, who live in the same village and are very close by, she still couldn't believe that she was having a bad time in her husband's family.
Han Luoxue was unaware of the scheme unfolding here. Even if she did, she wouldn't care; to her, Han Juhua was nothing more than a clown, someone she wouldn't even bother with.
Sensing that someone was watching her, Han Luoxue turned her head and saw Meng Shi and Han Juhua.
When Meng saw her looking over, she gave Han Luoxue a kind smile, the ingratiating meaning in her eyes was self-evident.
Han Luoxue turned her head away. Her aunt had a lot on her mind and her thoughts were quick. She wondered what kind of bad idea she was thinking of again.
It seems he's still with Han Juhua. Could it be that the two of them are plotting something—Han Juhua's marriage?
Thinking of this, Han Luoxue went to find Yunniang. She couldn't say these things directly to Han Qiang, so she wanted to ask Yunniang's opinion.
"Xue'er, you're not wrong, are you? You're saying Han Juhua wants to marry Han Kun?"
Hearing Han Luoxue's meaning, Yunniang was stunned. She exclaimed, "How dare she think about her own circumstances? How could she possibly covet Han Kun?"
"She wants me to talk to Grandpa Han Qiang, but I'm too embarrassed to ask. I don't know what she's thinking. Mom, I just saw her talking to my aunt and she kept looking at me. Do you think they might be plotting something too? Why don't you remind Grandpa Han Qiang when you have a chance?"
Yunniang shook her head: "I don't think your first wife is an unreasonable person. She wouldn't humiliate herself like this!"
“I know that, but Han Juhua isn’t one to be petty. Think about the last time she tried to cling to Brother Chen, she grabbed his leg in the street and accused him of taking advantage of her. If it were Han Kun…”
After thinking about it, it made sense. They lived relatively close to Han Qiang's family, and Han Kun was a good kid; they couldn't let Han Juhua ruin him.
If she pulls another stunt like this, even if she manages to escape in the end, it won't be good for Han Kun's reputation.
"Then let me tell Uncle Han Qiang first!"
Seeing that her mother was concerned, Han Luoxue finally felt relieved.
"Sigh, your cousin is just too picky. It's not that she can't find someone else, but her standards shouldn't be this high! I really like Han Kun; I think his future is absolutely limitless!"
This was Han Luoxue's first time meeting Yunniang, and she couldn't help but smile at the high praise he was giving her: "Yes, with more training, he can also stand on his own!"
It seems that Han Qiang wanted him to manage the farm, but Han Luoxue felt that working on the farm was a waste of his talents.
The farm should still be kept in mind by Han Datou and Han Laotai, since there's not much technical work there. With Han Qiang there too, checking on things occasionally, that should be enough.
As for the mountain resort, I wonder who Du Linlang will send there. Perhaps Han Kun could go. He certainly won't be able to handle things independently at first, but his future development will definitely be better than at the pig farm.
She'll talk to Han Kun about it later; it's ultimately up to her.
...
"I disagree!"
The coronation was imminent, but the ministers disagreed with announcing the empress at the same time. Ouyang Zhen knew what they meant; they still wanted to send their own daughters into the palace, simply looking down on Xue'er's status.
But he firmly disagreed, and his meaning was clear: If you don't recognize Han Luoxue, then I won't be the emperor!
Unfortunately, there isn't a single person in the palace who is qualified to be the emperor!
We can't let six-year-old Ouyang Qing take over!
The key issue is that the imperial court is currently facing numerous troubles, with the people of Xiyao Kingdom eyeing Xishu with covetous intent, and it's unclear whether they have already launched an attack.
Within the imperial court, the national treasury was empty after several years of famine. At this time, what could a child do if you put him in power?
Then let Ouyang Zhen oversee the country? Ouyang Zhen isn't stupid. He has a better chance of ascending the throne, yet he's busy running around for a mere child.
"Your Majesty, please consider the greater good!"
The prime ministers all knelt on the ground, hoping that the emperor would ascend the throne immediately.
"If you want me to register our marriage, that's fine. The Empress is my wife. Otherwise..."
"But...but she's just a country girl after all!"
"Then you should find someone else!"
The ministers had no choice but to go to the Empress Dowager. However, after hearing their story, the Empress Dowager sighed and said, "I am powerless to do anything about this. The Crown Prince is so stubborn, and as for the Emperor... we don't know when he will wake up."
"However, I feel that the Crown Prince's request is not impossible. As long as he is willing to ascend the throne, you can go along with him for now. Don't forget, the palace will have to select concubines sooner or later. Once those women enter the palace, it's uncertain whether Han Luoxue will be able to secure the position of Empress!"
The ministers thought about it and realized that it was indeed true. The most important thing now was to get the Crown Prince to ascend the throne as soon as possible and deal with the situation on the western border.
Otherwise, if something happens over there, it will be troublesome to recover the lost territory.
"Your Majesty's vision is far-sighted."
With these key ministers no longer insisting, the emperor's ascension to the throne was thus decided.
After the ministers left, Granny Qin said with a smile, "Your Highness, you have done Han Luoxue a great favor this time!"
"That girl isn't actually that bad! The key is that she gave the Crown Prince two good children. I think it's best to let them decide about the children themselves."
The Empress Dowager has been sleeping well these past few days, and in a good mood, making her look much younger. She doesn't know if it's just psychological, but she feels like she has fewer gray hairs.
When Madam Wu told her that the medicinal effects of the wine would continue for a while, she didn't understand at first.
