Yan Chengyuan said: "This matter was caused by Yan Liangchou. I will remove him from the family tree. As for that woman, she is not clear-headed and her actions deserve death."
"Just remove him and that's it?" The Queen asked, "Are you just going to ignore his disgusting schemes and gossips behind his back?"
Yan Chengyuan was silent.
The Queen said, "Logically, I shouldn't say this, but you've been too lenient with Yan Liangchou! When Yue'er disappeared, he was the culprit, but you didn't pursue him. Later, he bullied Yue'er for no reason in Qinzhou, and you didn't stand up for Yue'er. Now... he has done this again, but you still let him go. If you didn't know, you would think that Yan Liangchou was your biological child! Yue'er is not loved by anyone!"
In fact, this is clearly a vent of anger.
Their two families, whose cousins were married to each other, had confused the royal bloodline, and such a big matter was not dealt with. Their relationship really went beyond that of a monarch and his subjects. The queen had never put on airs in front of Yan Chengyuan, and had never spoken so impolitely.
Yan Chengyuan is a grown man, but he is not good at setting up a trap to retaliate. He said, "It's up to you, Madam."
"Why should I make the decision?" The Queen said, "They are both your sons! You can worry about it yourself!"
She turned around and ordered, "Call Princess Chengping to the palace."
Jin Yu went away as requested.
...
...
Yan Chengyuan didn't stop him either.
The Queen did take the opportunity to get angry. Anyway, she would not let Yan Shiyue do this matter by herself. She also thought that the rumors about her bringing bad luck to her marriage were not enough!
When Meng Min came, she stood up and went to discuss things with Meng Min.
Emperor Ming Yan patted Yan Chengyuan on the shoulder, and everything was said without words.
Even the emperor would not dare to speak up for his brother when the tigress was showing off her power at home...
The next day, when Yan Liangchou was on duty, someone suddenly said that someone from Prince Taiping's palace was looking for him.
Before Yan Liangchou could even stand up, the person came straight over. It was an old maid. She bowed from a distance and said, "Third Young Master, the Madam said that you must go back to the palace today."
Yan Liangchou was stunned by her calling him Third Young Master, and then he asked, "Is there something wrong?"
The nanny then said, "Third Young Master, you are old enough now. Madam has been worried about your marriage. She said that she would like to use this talent show to arrange an arranged marriage for you. She wants to ask you to go back and ask if you have a girl you like."
Yan Liangchou didn't react for a moment, and said politely, "It's tiring for mother to think about it."
The old maid continued, "But you are the same. I have asked you many times, but you always said you were busy. Now the palace selection is coming soon, and we can't delay any longer, so Madam sent me here. After all, I served you for a few years when you were young. I dare to ask you to go back and don't let Madam down..."
Yan Liangchou was speechless after hearing her words.
Others couldn't help but look at him sideways, thinking, isn't this because his family treats him well? Thinking about his marriage, they still ask him what he thinks, which is different from what he said!
Yan Liangchou said anxiously, "Madam, what are you talking about? I will go back with you right away."
Mammy said: "This is a good child!"
She pretended to speak out of turn and quickly covered her mouth: "I am too arrogant, Third Young Master, please don't blame me..."
As she turned around with him, she advised him, "Don't blame the master and his wife just because of His Highness. Have you ignored the affection we have had for so many years? You didn't even show up on the old prince's birthday. How can the master save face?"
Yan Liangchou said anxiously, "Madam, you are too serious."
Yan Liangchou was not well-informed. He didn't even know that Yan Chengyuan had asked for an arranged marriage for Yan Shitu, let alone the conflict between Yan Shiyue and Wu Fangzi.
And the most urgent thing now is not this. He is thinking, if Meng Min really asks him about marriage, should he tell her directly? If he really tells her, will Meng Min really arrange it for him? Or is it better to wait for Wu Fangzi to ask?
The two men came out not far away when a man on horseback came towards them. It was his superior, General Chen, who hurriedly said, "Yan Liangchou, I see you. Come on, come with me quickly."
Yan Liangchou was about to speak when General Chen turned his horse and left. He just said, "Hurry up! Don't delay the event!"
Yan Liangchou didn't know what was going on, so he could only tell the nanny and hurriedly followed.
This person, of course, was arranged in advance.
So Yan Liangchou was busy all night long, and only got away around noon the next day. He hurriedly changed his clothes and returned to Prince Chengping's Palace.
This day is the Lower Yuan Festival, the day when the Heavenly Official bestows blessings, the Earthly Official forgives sins, and the Water Official relieves disasters.
According to the custom in the capital, families with newborn babies would invite women who were blessed with many children and longevity to steam vegetarian dumplings for them on this day, and pray for blessings from the gods.
Originally, Meng Min's child was already over two years old, and Yan Shiyue's child was already ten months old, but Meng Min invited people over. After asking, they found out that Yan Shiyue was pregnant again and was worried. Everyone understood instantly, and then they were envious and jealous...
I'm pregnant again! This is too fast!
As I was busy, I heard someone report that Sanlang had returned.
Others thought it was Yan Shitu, but Meng Min frowned and said angrily, "I told him not to come back yesterday, and now he's here again! Let him wait."
Then a pale and timid maidservant next to him said, "Madam, don't be angry. The Third Young Master might not have been free yesterday..."
The maid next to him said, "You were not available yesterday, and you were not available a few days ago? I have invited you so many times but you still can't come back... Madam is doing this for him! It's like she is begging him!"
The maid's eyes immediately filled with tears, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
These women in charge couldn't stand this kind of women the most and they all frowned.
Meng Min also said: "How shameful! Why don't you get off now!"
The maid quickly apologized and went down.
Meng Min said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. Yan Liangchou called me mother anyway, so I thought that since he's grown up, I should take advantage of this selection to arrange a marriage for him. Who would have thought that he has called me so many times since August? I even sent the dowry nanny yesterday, but she still didn't come until today."
Meng Min is a gentle and kind person. No one doubts what she says.
I couldn't help but secretly wonder, so that's how it is! At the same time, they all advised her: "Just do your best, not everyone in this world will be grateful."
Meng Min said: "I really don't want any reward from him, it's just for the relationship between his late father and our prince! But..." She shook her head and stopped talking.
The maidservant next to him said, "I dare to say something. Although the dead are the greatest, his late father's life is a life. Doesn't your life count? Raising the Third Young Master is also a life! So many things have happened before and after, and so many favors have been repaid..."
Others echoed him.
As he spoke, the dumplings were finally ready. Meng Min led the others to wash their hands, then asked, "Where's he?"
The maidservant then went to call, and then heard a scream. Meng Min asked, "What's going on?"
She hurried out and saw the maid rushing over: "Just now... I saw Yan Liangchou holding Xiaoru!"
Meng Min was stunned: "What?"
Others were also very embarrassed.
But the vegetarian dumplings had just been steamed and needed to be taken out for offering to the gods, so it was not easy for them to leave. Meng Min hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay! Bring them in and ask!" She said to everyone, "It's a good opportunity for you to be my witnesses!"
After a while, someone pulled the timid maid over. Meng Min said, "What's going on? Tell me!"
