Chapter 102: Result Reversal
Lu Family Study
Lu Songli opened half of the window.
Outside the house, the snow has stopped, and the red plum blossoms are blooming proudly. The cold wind blows on your face, and the coolness is mixed with a faint fragrance, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Mo Bing, who was making tea, looked at her disapprovingly. Doesn't the Second Miss know her own body condition?
Lu Songli smiled. She knew, and that was why she only opened half the window. The most refreshing thing in the world was being wrapped in a blanket with the air conditioner on in the summer, or eating watermelon with the floor heating on in the winter. And she had always loved the cool air. Every breath she took felt like it was cleansing the stale air from her body. And the cool air made her mind incredibly clear.
Mo Bing did not continue to persuade her to close the window, but instead found her a hand warmer.
Lu Songli did not refuse and hugged him silently.
She'd already started to take care of herself; otherwise, the coldness was too severe, her blood circulation was poor, her hands and feet were cold, and she couldn't sleep well at night. She needed to take care of herself to feel better. While she didn't want to be ready for a baby so soon, she still had to consider her quality of life, right?
Lu Songli was waiting in the study, and soon the Qin brothers arrived.
Qin Heng was surprised when Ah Sheng said that Lu Songli wanted to see him. But through her actions and understanding of her over the past period of time, Qin Heng knew that she was not someone who acted without purpose. Since she asked Ah Sheng to invite him over, she must have had a reason to do so.
Qin Heng followed Qin Sheng to the Lu family's study. They had been here once before. After the Queen Mother had granted the marriage, the three of them, mother and son, came to propose marriage. His mother and Aunt Lu discussed the marriage in detail, and he was invited to the study by Uncle Lu.
This study is Uncle Lu's private study, right? Now, his sister-in-law can use the Lu family's large study at will? It seems that her status in the Lu family is really not low.
After both parties moved to the south window and sat down as host and guest, Qin Heng smiled and asked her, "Sixth Brother's Sister, is it okay for me to call you that?"
Lu Songli nodded, "Then I will follow Ah Sheng and call you big brother." Anyway, the Queen Mother has arranged the marriage, so there is no way they won't get married, and they will soon become a family.
After Qin Sheng brought the person here, he hesitated and refused to leave.
Lu Songli rubbed his forehead and pointed to a seat for him, "Okay, sit over there. Stop moving around. I'm dizzy."
Hearing this, Qin Sheng immediately sat down and sat obediently.
Qin Heng looked at them with amusement.
"Brother, I asked A Sheng to invite you over because I have something to tell you." Lu Songli said seriously.
She had asked Qin Sheng to meet him this time because she wanted to remind him of something. And it would be best to tell him these things in person, rather than through Qin Sheng. Qin Sheng was the youngest in the family and had a certain say, but certainly not as much as Qin Heng, the eldest brother who was in charge. And the things she reminded him of, it was better to do it sooner rather than later, faster rather than slower.
"You say." Qin Heng also sat up straight to show his importance.
Lu Songli didn't say anything, she was considering how to start.
Qin Heng didn't urge him either.
Recently, Lu Songli has been thinking about the Qin family being exiled in the original novel.
As far as she knew, the Qin family was a family of military generals who were loyal to Dali.
Yes, Lu Songli used the four words "loyal and devoted".
Let's not talk about anything else, just take the matter of the Empress Dowager arranging a marriage between her and Qin Sheng. At that time, she had already revealed that she had difficulty in bearing children due to catching a cold. The Empress Dowager, angry at both of them, unscrupulously arranged a marriage between her and Qin Sheng without considering the Qin family's face and feelings at all.
After investigating the reasons, Lu Songli discovered that it was all because the Qin family was too loyal and had no intention of resisting at all.
The Qin family is a family of loyal warriors, and this is no joke. They are truly loyal to Dali, and heaven and earth can bear witness to it.
Lu Songli cleared his throat and said, "Brother, since we are a family, this will not change. So, I will speak frankly."
"You are welcome."
"I've recently researched our Qin family and discovered that they are truly loyal to Dali."
Qin Heng laughed a little when he heard the first half of Lu Songli's words. When he heard the second half, he fell silent for a long time. After a while, he nodded solemnly, "Yes, our Qin family is indeed loyal to Dali. Heaven and earth can bear witness to this."
Qin Sheng also pursed his lips, looking serious.
Lu Songli had studied the Qin family and naturally knew why they behaved this way.
Not all members of the Song family, the royal family of Dali, are easy to serve.
If the ancestors of the Qin family heard what Lu Songli said, they would definitely feel sympathetic. Yes, the Song royal family is too difficult to serve.
Throughout dynasties, the lifespans of early emperors were generally normal, and this was no different for Da Li. The Da Li dynasty, which spanned eight emperors, currently boasts a 178-year reign. While each emperor's reign varied in length, the average was 22 years. Emperor Kang Cheng, the eighth emperor of Da Li, reigned for 25 years.
The Qin family has flourished for seven generations. With the exception of the first and second generations, who enjoyed wise rulers and suffered few injustices, the family later endured the suspicion and injustice of the Song royal family. The third and fourth generations were particularly marked, with the Qin patriarch being wrongfully imprisoned. Although he was eventually released, the torture he endured in prison damaged his foundation and ultimately led to his untimely death.
For a family of military commanders like the Qin family, inheritance is very important. Their way of inheritance is mainly through teaching by words and deeds. Most of the time, they lead the next generation on the battlefield, with the elders leading the younger ones and training them hand in hand.
The early death of the third-generation pillar forced the fourth generation of the Qin family to go to the battlefield early. It was extremely difficult for them to barely maintain the status of the Qin family.
Even an outsider like Lu Songli felt sorry for them after hearing these things, but the ancestors of the Qin family endured them all and swallowed them with tears. They became like Ninja Turtles.
Under this premise, Lu Songli tried to infer the reasons why the Qin family was exiled.
Or, the Qin family committed a serious crime that the emperor could not tolerate. Such a serious crime must be treason without a doubt.
"Brother, the Qin family has suffered so much injustice, doesn't our father have any ideas?" Lu Songli asked softly.
"No, I've never had such a rebellious thought!" Qin Heng said firmly, and then he asked her, "Why do you ask?"
Did he hear something? Thinking of this, Qin Heng frowned slightly.
"Brother, calm down first! I completely believe what you said. As for why I asked this, I will explain it later."
With Lu Songli's comfort, the Qin brothers could only continue to sit and wait.
Lü Songli was lost in thought. She had previously felt that the Qin family was unlikely to initiate a rebellion. Firstly, there were no signs of this, as evidenced by the mobilization of the Qin family's forces. Furthermore, Madam Qin and the two legitimate sons, Qin Heng and Qin Sheng, remained in Chang'an City and had not withdrawn. It could be said that if the Qin family had the intention to rebel, would they not care about their lives? After all, if patriarch Qin Yue made a move, the legitimate branch of Chang'an City would be in danger. Some might say that Qin Yue was cold-blooded and ruthless, willing to sacrifice anything to achieve his goals, but judging from his life, he was not.
Therefore, the possibility that the Qin family took the initiative to rebel is very small and can be temporarily ruled out.
After ruling out this reason, they looked back at the Qin family. No matter how they looked at it, for the ruler of Dali, the Qin family was a loyal and capable dog. Who would bother to touch their own loyal dog? Unless there was a greater benefit to touching it, or it was unavoidable.
These are all untrue for Emperor Kangcheng and the Crown Prince. At least Emperor Kangcheng would not do anything about it. If the Crown Prince succeeds to the throne, he would not do anything about it if he is not stupid.
So, here's the conclusion. The Qin family was exiled, making it hard for Lü Songli not to doubt the legitimacy of the successor. Only those who came to power illegitimately, out of a guilty conscience, would engage in such outrageous actions.
