Chapter 19 According to your logic, I have to be ahead of the 40-year-old housekeeper
Everyone loves beauty, and the young Su Lin fell in love at first sight with Du Youlan, whom countless men in Kyoto wanted to marry.
The Su family and the Du family have always been on good terms. Every time there is a flower viewing banquet, wedding banquet, full moon banquet, birthday banquet or other banquet, the Su and Du families will definitely go to each other's house for the banquet.
Under the fierce pursuit of the handsome Su Lin, Du Youlan soon fell for him.
The Su and Du families soon became relatives.
After marriage, Su Lin and his wife lived in harmony and treated each other as equals.
Su Lin had no plans to take a concubine.
But under the repeated intervention of Mrs. Su, when Du Youlan was pregnant with Su Yuyan, Su Lin was forced by his mother to take a concubine out of filial piety.
Because Old Madam Su particularly wanted to have many children and grandchildren, having two women in her son's backyard would definitely make her give birth faster than having only one woman.
But Su Lin never consummated his marriage with the concubine.
The concubine has always held a grudge against him.
Not only did she repeatedly use the old lady's name to force Su Lin to consummate the marriage with her, she also repeatedly went to Du's face to accuse and scold her for being narrow-minded and whispering in Su Lin's ear not to let him touch her. She also cried in front of the old lady Su many times.
This made Su Lin dislike her at all.
Filled with hatred, she began to plot when she learned that Mrs. Du was pregnant with her third child, and she switched Su Yuyan as soon as she was born.
Because her lover didn't even care about her, the concubine was depressed for many years.
Emotions directly affect health, which led to her suffering from illness in her thirties.
She had never received any love from her lover in her life, and before her death she revealed that she had switched Su Yuyan with him. She also cursed Du like a madman for not wanting to share a man, and said that she was so jealous that she would not die a good death.
In a rage, Su Lin sent the concubine's body back to her parents' home and removed her from the family, as if she had never existed in the general's mansion.
Du Youlan's husband's heart is all on her, and he has never touched her dowry after many years of marriage, so Du Youlan is one of the few people in this era who married for love.
Su Yuyan hugged Du's arm affectionately.
"It's enough. I run a small business with little start-up capital, but the profits are immeasurable."
Mrs. Du enjoyed her daughter's closeness.
"Okay, if it's not enough, you must ask mother for more."
After the mother and daughter chatted for a long time, Mrs. Du left.
Not long after Mrs. Du left, Su Zhan came over.
He got straight to the point.
"Yuyan, I heard that Lin Heqing, the third son of the Lin family, came to see you, and you even went to the teahouse to meet him."
"You stayed with Lin Heqing this afternoon?"
Su Yuyan answered every question.
"Um."
Su Zhan continued.
"The Lin family is also a prominent family in Kyoto. Even with all the rumors flying around, Lin Heqing still took the initiative to come to our house. This shows that Master Lin's sincerity is evident to all."
"Does Yuyan have feelings for Lin Heqing? If you also have feelings for Lin Heqing, I can ask Lin Heqing for you. If he really likes you, our two families can arrange the marriage this morning."
Seeing that Su Zhan was so worried about her, Su Yuyan felt warm in her heart.
"Brother, you're 25 this year and will be 30 next year. You should worry about your marriage first and let Mom and Dad have a grandchild sooner."
Su Zhan: “…”
Seeing his sister teasing him, he also teased her.
"Sister, according to your logic, my elder brother should be ahead of the housekeeper who is in his forties."
Su Yuyan burst into laughter when she heard this.
"Brother is such a wonderful person."
"By the way, brother, do you have a girl you like? Since I have nothing to do anyway, I'll use a little trick to help you win her."
When it comes to this topic, the smile on Su Zhan's face instantly disappears.
"Yes, but she already has someone she loves."
"I'm stationed at the border all year round and only return to Beijing once every three years. My wife and I are rarely together, so I'm not considering marriage for the time being."
Su Yuyan got to the bottom of the matter.
"What kind of girl is so blind to recognize a great man? My brother is a man of both literary and martial talent, and he is so noble and imposing, yet she doesn't even want him?"
Su Zhan answered truthfully.
"I have a crush on her, so Princess Changning doesn't know I like her."
Su Yuyan said.
"So it's Princess Changning. Brother, who is her crush?"
Su Zhan answered.
"She's attracted to the Minister of War's legitimate son, and just like you did before, she's publicly expressed her feelings without regard for her reputation. But not only has that man avoided her, he's now married."
After Su Yuyan understood what was going on, she ended the topic and started talking about other things with Su Zhan.
Let’s talk about two things separately. Here, in Prince Rui’s Mansion.
Ling Feng reported to Jiang Hanyu in detail how Lin Heqing took the initiative to find Su Yuyan and the two of them were alone in a private room in the teahouse for two hours.
After listening to Ling Feng's report, Jiang Hanyu's face turned extremely bad.
Her reputation is so bad, yet Lin Heqing actually took the initiative to visit her!
It really opened my eyes!
Lin Heqing is quite a daredevil! How dare he set his sights on a woman the prince had touched!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, his hands clenched into fists, veins bulging: There are so many rumors about her out there, and she actually went on a date with another man as if nothing had happened!
While Jiang Hanyu was sulking, an unprecedented possessiveness arose in his heart.
His eyes were cold, and there seemed to be a ferocious beast hidden in his deep eyes.
After dinner, Jiang Hanyu went to the White Jade Pool in the mansion to bathe as usual.
But his whole body was filled with murderous aura, like solid ice that never melted all year round.
He didn't understand why Lin Heqing suddenly fell in love with her, who had a bad reputation.
At the same time, he was also angry at Su Yuyan for being heartless: she had only been strong for a few days, but she started meeting other men without caring about her reputation!
Jiang Hanyu leaned lazily against the edge of the bathtub. As soon as he closed his eyes, all he could see were the images of him and Su Yuyan going to Wushan together, and Su Yuyan panting and blushing as the poison had not yet been cured.
Although she was so ignorant, whether it was kissing and biting him when her aphrodisiac took effect, or riding on him without knowing the limitations of her own limitations, the memories were actually indescribable.
At this moment, he suddenly wanted to see her.
He was shocked by his own idea.
A woman who is full of vicious words and disregards her reputation is not only not something you should even think about, but also brings bad luck to anyone who marries her!
The next day, Su Yuyan, who slept until she woke up naturally, slumped in the old chair like an old man, fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan to enjoy her retirement in advance.
After a while, Xiu'er ran in like a gust of wind.
"Miss, something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened!"
Su Yuyan spoke lazily.
"Oh? What's going on?"
Xiu'er told the story slowly and leisurely.
"His Royal Highness Prince Rui chopped off His Royal Highness Prince Kang's head at the gate of the palace!"
Su Yuyan immediately became alert: It seems that it was Prince Kang who poisoned him at the Queen's birthday banquet a few days ago.
Whoever wants to poison him will be killed by him?
This guy is quite courageous and never hesitates when it comes to revenge.
"Let's go to the main garden and eat melons with my father."
After arriving at the main courtyard, Su Yuyan affectionately took Mrs. Du's arm, and then looked at Su Lin who had just returned from the morning court.
"Father, I just heard Xiu'er say that Prince Rui chopped off Prince Kang's head at the gate of the palace today."
"How did Prince Kang offend Prince Rui?"
Su Lin looked at his daughter's gossipy eyes and shook his head helplessly, then told the story.
