Chapter 210 Visit for Negotiation
Since neither the couple did anything wrong, but things still turned out like this, then it must be someone else's fault.
This person is naturally Li Xuanjing.
If he hadn't hidden it from everyone and deliberately spread the rumor that his son was a fool, the couple wouldn't have quarreled over the engagement.
If they hadn't quarreled over this big thing, they might not have separated.
As long as they don't separate, Song Zhe will not be separated from his wife and children.
Su Qing would not have stayed alone in her room for eighteen years in her most beautiful years.
Both of them selectively ignored other problems that year and attributed all the reasons to Li Xuanjing.
After a lovemaking session, the couple reconciled.
Song Zhe held Su Qing's hand tightly. They looked at each other, and the fire that had just been extinguished in their hearts burned again.
Bang!
The door closed again.
After a long time, a sound was heard in the room.
"What? He already has a beautiful woman, but he wants to marry another woman?"
"Even if the emperor grants a marriage, it is not acceptable!"
"Why shouldn't I bother with him? Does he treat me as his mother-in-law? Why should I treat him as his son-in-law?"
"It's fine that Jia Ren didn't listen to me, but even Yi Ren dared to disobey me. She even dared to ask if I was crazy. This is all because of him!"
"It's my business whether to forgive or not. He must apologize to me!"
The woman's angry voice soon turned into a soft moan.
Li Mansion.
There had just been a sudden rain, and the air in Chang'an had become a little fresher.
Li Nuo leaned against the door and watched Song Yiren practice sword.
Her sword moves were completely chaotic, more like she was venting her anger. The sword's force was like a violent storm, or like waves crashing against the shore, all of which expressed her fear and anxiety. After a long time, the wind stopped, the rain stopped, the waves dissipated, and everything returned to calm...
Song Yiren shook her head and said repeatedly: "No, no, I have to run, otherwise she will definitely catch me!"
Thinking back carefully, she couldn't believe what she had just done.
Not only did he not listen to her in front of others, he also called her a lunatic.
If she were in the Sanqing Sect, she would have to be locked up for a month.
She had to go.
Otherwise, she would definitely capture him and take him back to Sanqing Sect to get married.
However, before leaving, she wanted to take back the painting and birthday gift that Li Nuo gave her.
As Song Yiren was thinking this, two figures walked in from outside the yard.
She shuddered, immediately dropped her sword and hid behind Li Nuo.
When Su Qing saw Li Nuo, she couldn't help showing anger on her face. She suppressed her anger and asked, "Where's your father?"
Song Yiren hid behind Li Nuo and looked at her mother in surprise.
Even though she was put in jail by him, she didn't get angry.
Moreover, she seemed to be different from before.
It seems... a little gentler than before.
It looks better too.
She had never seen a mother like this in her life.
Li Nuo said calmly: "In the Dali Temple."
Su Qing said: "Take us to pay tribute to your mother."
Li Nuo didn't say anything and turned to walk towards the ancestral hall. They were able to arrange a marriage for him and his wife when she was pregnant, so they must have a very close relationship. It was only right for him to go and pay his respects.
Li Mansion, inside the ancestral hall.
Su Qing lit three incense sticks in front of a spirit tablet, with a sad look on her face, and whispered, "Sister Wan'er, I'm here to see you. If you hadn't married Li Xuanjing, you wouldn't have... Alas!"
Li Nuo stood at the door and watched this scene.
Housekeeper Wu said that his mother died of illness. When she left the ancestral hall, Li Nuo asked, "How did my mother die?"
Su Qing said with a gloomy face, "If Li Xuanjing had not betrayed his loyalty and been despised by the world, Wan'er would not have become depressed. At that time, her body was already very weak, and she had an acute illness. Li Xuanjing carried her to seek medical treatment everywhere. At that time, there were countless famous doctors in Chang'an, but no one was willing to save the wife of a treacherous minister... All this is your father's fault!"
Butler Wu did not tell him these things, nor could he tell him.
After the father-in-law and mother-in-law left the ancestral hall, they did not leave the Li Mansion.
Su Qing glanced at Song Yiren from a distance and said, "Come here!"
Song Yiren lowered her head and walked over timidly. Su Qing gently pinched her face and said, "You are a little fatter than before. It seems that you have forgotten all the rules of the sect in the past few months..."
Song Yiren was prepared to be scolded by her, but she didn't hear any words of blame afterwards.
Su Qing looked at her with a hint of surprise on his face, and said, "Your cultivation has improved a lot. It seems that you have not slacked off in your cultivation during this period. It's really rare..."
Watching her mother walk towards Song Jiaren again, Song Yiren stood there in a daze, not coming back to her senses for a long time.
Is that it?
She sneaked out of the sect, but she didn't even get a word of scolding. Is she still my mother?
This was definitely not the mother she knew.
Could it be that mom also has an older sister or younger sister who looks exactly like her?
At this time, Su Qing walked up to Song Jiaren, held her hand, and didn't know how to speak for a moment. After a long time, she said: "Jiaren, didn't mother take you away at the beginning? Do you hate me?"
Song Jiaren shook her head.
She really doesn't hate it at all.
When she was a child, she still had some resentment.
But whether it was because she let it go after growing up, or because of her practice of Jade Purity Heart Technique, she no longer had any hatred towards her.
Of course, there wasn't much intimacy.
She even felt that it was a blessing that he didn't take her away.
Otherwise, her husband would be Song Yiren's husband.
Li Nuo thought they would leave after paying tribute to their mother.
But they actually sat down in the yard and showed no sign of leaving, so Li Nuo had no choice but to order the kitchen to prepare two more meals.
While eating, Li Nuo looked at his mother-in-law twice.
Some doubts also arose in his heart.
Could this be my mother-in-law’s twin sister?
Otherwise, how could the same person undergo such a big change in such a short period of time.
Not long ago, she looked like a menopausal tigress.
After a while, he seemed like a different person. He spoke in a soft voice and picked up food for the beauty while eating. He was completely different from before.
Could it be that he was taken to the Dali Temple and became obedient?
Li Nuo and Song Yiren looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.
I don’t know if it was Butler Wu who informed us in advance, but after dinner, my father also came back from the Dali Temple.
The three of them sat in the pavilion in the courtyard, talking about something.
Song Yiren hid in the room, put her ear against the wall and tried to eavesdrop, but she heard nothing. It must be that her mother used her inner energy to create a soundproof barrier.
However, this did not bother her.
She came into the yard and sat at the stone table, watching the tiny movements of their lips as they spoke.
In the past, when she was bored in solitary confinement, she would ask her senior sister to find some books for her. One of the books taught lip reading. Over the years, she had to be confined for at least two days every month, so she had already learned lip reading.
Inside the pavilion.
Su Qing looked at Li Xuanjing and said, "If you hadn't spread the false news and deceived us, I wouldn't have taken her away, let alone taught her the Jade Purity Heart Technique. So, you are the culprit in this matter, and you can't blame me."
Li Xuanjing nodded, agreeing with her words.
Su Qing continued, "The beauty has practiced the Jade Purity Heart Technique. Over the past ten years, under the influence of the Jade Purity Qi, her physique has become extremely cold and yin. Unless there is a strong man in the Heavenly Heart Realm of the Jade Purity lineage to remove the coldness in her body, she will not be able to continue the family line of your Li family. You should be aware of this, right?"
Li Xuanjing nodded again.
Su Qing continued, "With the beauty's talent and the Jade Purity Heart Technique she has practiced, it is very likely that she will reach the highest realm of martial arts. It would be a pity to let her give up martial arts and become a wife and mother for your Li family."
After thinking for a while, she said, "I want my lady to go to Mount Sanqing to practice."
Li Xuanjing shook his head and said, "Your Majesty has granted the marriage, and no one can stop it."
Su Qing said: "Although Jia Jia and he are husband and wife in name, they are not husband and wife in reality. The marriage contract was chosen by Yi Ren. Let Yi Ren marry into your Li family instead of Jia Ren. She practices the Shangqing lineage mind method, so she doesn't need to give up martial arts, and she can also become the daughter-in-law of your Li family. Anyway, this should have been hers."
Li Xuanjing said: "This is deceiving the emperor..."
Su Qing glanced at him and said, "If you and I don't tell me, who can tell whether I am marrying a beautiful woman or a beautiful woman?"
Li Xuanjing tilted his head to glance at the courtyard and asked, "Is Yiren willing?"
Su Qing knew exactly what her daughter, whom she had raised since childhood, was thinking, and said, "Don't worry, she is more willing than anyone else."
His wife had not told him about this matter just now. Song Zhe looked at her and asked, "Didn't you say that she is already engaged in the Sanqing Sect?"
Su Qing waved her hand and said, "It's just their wishful thinking. I didn't agree to it."
If she had not come to Chang'an, she would have thought of agreeing to it.
Although she herself has a failed marriage, but Yiren, perhaps she will have her happiness.
That man had a good talent for martial arts and was barely worthy of her.
But no matter how good one's talent in martial arts is, how can it compare to the top scorer in six subjects?
In her heart, her husband was already very capable, but he wasn't even the top scorer in a subject.
How can a crude warrior who only knows how to wield swords compare to the top scholar who can play the piano, paint, and write poems?
If he could be a little more polite to himself, he would undoubtedly be Su Qing's most satisfactory son-in-law.
As a mother who knows her daughter best, she understood her daughter's intentions when Yiren protected him and talked back to her.
This is the husband she chose herself.
If it weren't for what happened that year, she would have been his wife long ago.
All of this is just to get everything back on track.
Li Nuo was sitting at the stone table in the yard. He glanced at her casually and found that her face suddenly turned red.
Li Nuo looked at her and asked, "Why is your face so red? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Song Yiren lowered her head, pinched the corner of her clothes, and said, "I'm hot, is that okay..."
