Chapter 312 I beg the emperor to go
"Mom, this is too risky."
"What's the risk? We've gotten through it before, even when we had no food to eat. How could it be harder than when we had no food or clothes to wear?"
"I'm afraid of getting you into trouble."
"A family is like a grasshopper on a rope. If you are doing well, you have to take care of us. If you are not doing well, we have to support you. We can't just take advantage of you and not help you." Lu Qin's mother said, "It's not just you, Erya, Sanya, and me. We are all the same. There are four of us, mother, and no one can abandon anyone else."
Their peaceful life cannot be achieved at the cost of Daya sacrificing her own happiness.
"If we were all on the execution ground, about to be beheaded, it would be fine for you to take care of us," Lu Qiniang said, "but thinking about what will happen a few years or even a dozen years from now is unnecessary. Daya, listen to me, let's take our time to figure it out."
If it really doesn't work, can't we just kill the prince?
A life for a life, she would give his life in exchange for her daughter's happiness.
If Daya compromises for the sake of her family and becomes an insignificant vase beside the prince, her life will be ruined.
How can the whole family be happy when they are standing on her corpse?
They all care about her too!
"Mother, I am shamelessly burdening you. But how could I burden my second and third sisters..."
"I'm not afraid." Erya opened the curtain and came in, slamming the door curtain. "Sister, I don't care about others. I tell you, I'm not afraid of death, I'm afraid of living a cowardly life. I wish I could stab him to death so that you and your brother-in-law can be well."
But it really pissed her off.
Bastard prince, you look like a decent human being, but why don’t you behave like a human being?
He gets angry when people don’t like him. How can he not get angry to death?
"Nonsense, what's with all this talk of life and death," Lu Qiniang scolded, "We all have to be fine."
"Anyway, let me put it this way. If he really becomes emperor and he wants me dead, that's my fate, and I won't blame anyone," Erya said. "But if you want me to accept my fate now, no way! Big sister, if you break off the engagement, I'll be furious with you. You're like dough, you have no temper at all. I'm here as long as I can. If he has the guts, come and kill me now."
"You're getting more excited the more you talk," Lu Qiniang scolded. "Stop being so excited. I know you and Big Sister are close, so you won't hesitate at the critical moment. Go, go to Yunting's room and call your father in. Sanya is asleep, and she's still young. Let's discuss this as a family of four."
"Okay." Erya said, "Don't cry, big sister. We will take care of it for you."
Daya nodded vigorously.
She always knew that her mother and sisters were her support.
Unexpectedly, Erya brought in three——
"Jiang Xuan, why are you here too?" Lu Qiniang asked in shock.
"I'm worried about Zhao Zhao." Jiang Xuan looked at Daya and tried to smile, but with that tough face, the smile was really forced. "I want to join in, too. Let's find a way."
Daya shook her head and said, "Our family can bear the consequences, but you can't take your whole family with you."
"Yes." Jiang Xuan nodded, "But perhaps there is another way. Zhao Zhao, let me stay and discuss it together. Give us some hope, a chance."
Xiao Yan chased Yun Ting away: "This matter has nothing to do with you, and it's not a good thing. Just pretend you don't know and don't get involved."
"How can I pretend I don't know?" Yun Ting said, "I wouldn't care about other things, but I'm going to be a Duke in the future. If he becomes emperor, I won't have to face him. Zhao Zhao declined politely, but he accused me of not liking him. He's going to make a big deal out of it and implicate my entire family. How can I, with my mouth and my stupid brain, not offend him?"
He also knew that he shouldn't get involved in these things because behind him was the huge Duke's Mansion.
But with a madman as emperor, it's not just Xiao Yan's family that suffers.
Millions of families across the world are suffering.
"I don't have much ability, but I still have some blood in my veins," Yun Ting said. "If he is really that despicable, then I am also responsible for it. I can't let my uncle hand over the country to him to cause trouble."
If it is beneficial to the country, we will not avoid it because of misfortune or fortune.
Lu Qinniang didn't understand, but he did.
"Besides, I'm more capable than you." Yun Ting said, "After all, I'm the emperor's nephew, and my grandmother is still alive! I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, my grandmother doesn't like the prince very much. I didn't understand why before, but now I finally understand."
The old man has a keen eye.
It’s a pity that she is old and knows the emperor’s feelings for the late queen, so she is not willing to be the bad guy.
When you get old, it’s rare to be confused.
"Let's not talk about that for now," Erya said. "Let's get down to business. It's not like Yunting has to get involved just because he heard what we said. He might forget it after a good night's sleep. Mother, please tell me your idea first. I'm so anxious."
Yun Ting: “…”
How could he be so stupid!
"Let's do this," Lu Qiniang said. "Let's pretend to break off the engagement first, saying that Daya dislikes Jiang Xuan's health. Then, when the Emperor arrives with the Crown Prince, I'll tell him that I want Daya to accompany the Crown Prince. If he refuses, doesn't that mean he doesn't agree, not that we don't want to? Then, won't the Crown Prince feel better? Then we can get married. We should keep a low profile. It's best to have Jiang Xuan take Daya and find a job outside the area, away from the Crown Prince, so as not to irritate him."
If you can't kill a mad dog in one go, you have to stay away from it and not provoke it.
Yun Ting said, "Qi Niang, you're thinking too much. When will the Emperor bring the Crown Prince here? What if the Emperor agrees to your proposal? The Emperor never intended to make Zhao Zhao the Crown Princess. If he could give the Crown Prince another woman he likes, why would he refuse?"
"I know this, so I have to inform the emperor in advance." Lu Qiniang said, "I have to let the emperor know that the prince has taken a fancy to Daya, but we don't want it. I'm timid and I think too much. I'm afraid of offending the prince, so I beg him to help me. Yes, the emperor will think I'm making a fuss, but the emperor dotes on children and is also tolerant. Look, isn't he good to you, Xiao Yan, and me?"
The emperor's greatest fault, and also his greatest advantage, is that he is too lenient.
In this case, they should take advantage of this.
The emperor is soft-hearted and a good guy who always wants to take care of everything.
Then she made a request, which was a little excessive, but not too much. How could the emperor not agree to it because of their previous relationship?
Even if Lu Qiniang agreed, and even if the emperor was unhappy because of her "slandering" his son, he would still agree in the end.
"If he doesn't agree, I'll just beg him," Lu Qiniang said. "Besides, I think the emperor will agree. Xiao Yan, what do you think? Since we're all sitting here to discuss this matter, with so many of us, we're like several Zhuge Liangs. Let's all speak up, let's all speak up."
