"You guys?" Lin Yu'an felt a sweet sensation in her throat, as if she had a piece of candy in it. "Yan Yan, who else is there besides you?"
Lu Qingyan replied obediently, "Of course, there's also Grandma Lin. She'll worry about you too."
"Yes, I understand. I didn't just do it out of passion; I was prepared long ago."
Being a tool in the emperor's hand can bring great power, but it also makes it easy to offend people, which was something he had long anticipated.
But he wasn't afraid of any of that; he just wanted to do his best to make Lu Qingyan happy as his bride.
"Yan Yan, has the imperial edict been shown to the Su family?" Lin Yu'an asked.
Lu Qingyan shook her head. After all, given the relationship between Lin Ke and Lin Yu'an, she still felt somewhat ashamed.
Lin Yu'an looked at Lu Qingyan with burning eyes: "Yan Yan, I can't wait to marry you."
Lu Qingyan lowered her head: "It doesn't matter whether it's early or late."
Actually, she wanted to pester Lin Yu'an more to find out about the past he mentioned that she had long forgotten.
Seeing that it was getting late and that she had other things to do, Lin Yu'an said, "Yan Yan, be careful."
After Lin Yu'an left, Lu Qingyan found Su's mother, who was chatting happily with her friend: "Mother."
It's unclear where this custom came from, but it's insisted that children in the family call their legal mother "Mother," claiming that calling her "Niang" (mother) is beneath them. However, Lu Qingyan still feels that calling her "Niang" is more intimate, so she usually calls her "Su Mu Niang" (Mother Su) when she's being affectionate.
Now that she was facing so many people, she naturally had to follow the rules.
The girl was dressed in a pleasing outfit and was so pretty and cute that everyone who saw her felt their hearts melt: "This must be Yao'er. She's a beautiful child and looks very sensible. It's clear that Madam Su is a good teacher."
"That's right, Sister Su's daughter must be quite remarkable. I just don't know if Sister Su would be willing to become in-laws with me and marry your precious daughter to my good-for-nothing son."
Hearing the compliments from those around her, Mrs. Su smiled with satisfaction. She spoke, neither refusing nor agreeing: "Yao'er is still young. I want to keep her here for a few more years. There's no rush for an engagement. We can talk about it later. It all depends on whether the children are meant to be."
After what happened with Lin Ke and Yang Xiuzhu, Su's mother was utterly terrified. If the marriage were arranged like this, and that person turned out to be another Lin Ke, her daughter's life would likely be ruined.
Therefore, this matter needs to be carefully considered; it's wrong to agree just because of past friendships.
When Su's mother didn't give her a definite answer, the person who made the suggestion raised an eyebrow and looked at Lu Qingyan: "Yao'er, would you be willing to go back with Aunt Zhang and become her daughter-in-law?"
He actually asked Lu Qingyan directly!
Lu Qingyan smiled and spoke with grace and poise, showing no shyness whatsoever: "Aunt Zhang, marriage is a major life event, and it is decided by parents and matchmakers. Even in the palace, my aunts and uncles have made plans for me. How could it be my place as a junior to speak? Isn't my mother sitting right here?"
Madam Zhang was furious, thinking to herself, "If Su's mother had already agreed to me, why would I be telling you all this?"
When Madam Su saw that Madam Zhang wanted to make things difficult for her daughter, she was naturally the first to object: "Sister Zhang, look at you, how could you be so foolish as to talk to Yao'er about these things? The child is still young, how would she know the seriousness of these matters?"
