Ah Chou could tell that this was the voice of Duan Chenghong's eldest daughter, Duan Rulan, and could tell that this girl was extremely sad and angry, otherwise a lady like her who was brought up in a wealthy aristocratic family would never cry like this.
Alas. It seems she is not the only one who is unlucky.
I heard that the deposed prince was carried out of the clan house, and heard that he was tortured in the clan house and his legs and feet are not in good condition.
I heard that it took more than three months to travel from the capital to Ningguta. When we finally arrived, the deposed prince had become paralyzed. Some said he was frozen, while others said he was beaten. There was no consensus, but the deposed prince was completely disabled, both physically and in his future.
When Concubine Zhao heard about this, she was very sad. She cried in front of His Majesty, saying that although the deposed prince was now a commoner, she, as a concubine, could not bear it. Now the deposed prince was disabled. There was no one to serve him properly. It was really outrageous. It was a pity that the deposed prince's wife, Ding, died early.
With this reminder, His Majesty suddenly remembered that there was a marriage contract between the deposed crown prince and the legitimate daughter of the Duan family. Considering the age of the Duan family daughter, the His Majesty immediately ordered Duan Chenghong to send his daughter to Ningguta.
Duan Rulan had been in a state of suicidal rage for four or five times in the past two days. Duan Chenghong lost his temper and was too lazy to talk to her anymore. He directly ordered the housekeeper to lock her in the room. However, Mrs. Duan was very concerned about her own flesh and blood, so she had been staying by Duan Rulan's side for the past few days, fearing that her daughter would really commit suicide.
Ah Chou thought of Duan Rulan's eyes that were red and swollen like walnuts, shook her head, sighed, then pushed open the wooden door and went in. She was really tired, and as soon as she got into the tattered quilt, she fell into a deep sleep.
Of course, if she had known that she would be even more unlucky tomorrow, she might not have slept so soundly.
In Miss Duan's bedroom.
"Mother, you and father can't do this to me..." Duan Rulan was already crying so hard that she was out of breath. Her usually sweet and pleasant voice was now hoarse. "That man has obviously become a paraplegic... I... I don't want to marry a paraplegic! Mother, I don't want to go to Ningguta. If I go... I'm afraid I won't be able to see my parents again! Mother! Please don't force me anymore!"
“Lan’er, there’s nothing we can do,” Madam Duan also had tears in her eyes. She reached out and hugged Duan Rulan in her arms, choking with sobs, “This is an imperial decree. It’s hard to disobey the imperial order! Besides… besides, you and the deposed crown prince do have an engagement… you were originally his…”
"But before...but before he was the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace! Now...now he is just a half-dead paralytic!" Duan Rulan was excited again, patting her chest with both hands, and complained to Madam Duan with wide eyes, "Mom, you have been the one who trained and taught me since I was a child. I followed you to learn the skills of housekeeping and the checks and balances in the harem. I am proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting. I can recite all the "Instructions for Women", "Instructions for Women" and "The Analects of Women" from beginning to end! I work so hard because you told me that one day I would become the mother of a country, but now you and Dad want me to marry a commoner, and a paralytic at that! I won't marry!"
"You have to get married even if you don't want to!" Mrs. Duan's face suddenly turned cold. She took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears from her face and said to Duan Rulan in a cold voice.
