Chapter 376 Request for an Audience
The other party had said so much, and Shen Sui was a little angry: "Then I will see who dares to marry you."
"Then wait and see. General Shen was so anxious that he returned the token and canceled the marriage. As for the rest, I'll just leave it at that."
Shen Sui frowned, then said: "Think about it carefully first. If you think it through, this marriage will still count.
Also, Madam Lin asked you to embroider a painting of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains. It was just a small matter, you could have just done it for her. Why did you bring it to the Lord?"
"The Lin family has done the Lord a favor, and she is going to marry the Crown Prince. Since she wants this painting so much, you can embroider it and give it to her."
It's that 'small matter' and 'just give it to her' again.
Chang Ru's face immediately turned dark again, and she grabbed the teacup at hand and threw it at him: "Get out."
Chen Sui slightly moved aside, avoiding the teacup, and then his face became a little ugly: "Don't go too far, it's just a picture..."
"It's just a picture, you say it's easy. The silk thread is thinner than a hair, and it may take years to embroider it. You just say it's a small matter, just give it to her. It's not you who embroidered the feelings, so you answer for others with ease."
"If you insist on me embroidering, then please give the order. If you don't leave, I will call someone to chase you away. Get out!"
Chen Sui probably didn't expect that Chang Ru, who had always been kind, would suddenly turn hostile and keep telling him to get out. For a moment, he couldn't stay any longer.
He said, "In that case, I will take my leave first. Let's discuss the cancellation of the engagement after General Chang returns."
"As for the matter of the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains, you should remember this. Consider it a favor to the master. Since Madam Lin likes it, even if there are difficulties, it won't be a loss to her."
"Goodbye."
After Shen Sui said this, he turned and left. The black cloak on his robe fluttered in the wind and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Madam Chang was so angry that she was shaking all over. "What does he mean? Is he using the Lin family's kindness to the master to pressure us? If we embroider it, we are giving the master face. If we don't embroider it, we are disrespectful to the master and the Lin family."
"He still wants to abide by the marriage alliance and let me be his concubine." Chang Ru was so angry that her face turned blue. She thought for a moment, then suddenly stood up and said, "Come here, prepare a car for me."
Mrs. Chang hurriedly asked her, "Where are you going?"
Chang Ru said, "Doesn't he think that no one would dare marry me unless I compromise and become his concubine? Well, I'm going to show him if anyone dares to marry me. I'm going to ask to see the Lord."
Mrs. Chang's heart was also in a mess. Upon hearing this, she gritted her teeth and nodded: "I will go with you. Your father admires Shen Sui, the bastard. Although he has always been kind to you, what if he goes crazy like Shen Sui?!"
"My son is a good girl with a good family background. How can I give up my good wife as a concubine? This is absolutely unacceptable."
"Since our General Shen ruined your marriage alliance with him in order to marry the Princess of Nanhuai to Beiyan, we can only ask the Lord to make the decision and show you a clear path."
The mother and daughter of the Chang family hurriedly changed their clothes, and then took a carriage to the Prince of Beiyan's Palace overnight.
Yan Xingchuan was busy with government affairs during the day, and at night he had to listen to what Lin Qingning had done these days. He couldn't help but frown, and finally reached out and twisted his eyebrows.
"She puts her status on a pedestal. Today she's admiring flowers, tomorrow she's drinking tea, the day after tomorrow she's boating on the lake and hosting a banquet. Today she wants the women of this family to dance, and tomorrow she wants the girls of that family to paint and compose poems."
"Those who know know that this is my cousin from the Yan family, my cousin. Those who don't know would think that she is the Queen of Northern Yan."
"Some of the generals are fighting in the front lines, some are guarding the four corners, and the civil officials are providing advice and managing the local areas. Their families are being treated like this in Beiyan City. It's really..."
Yan Xingchuan really didn't know what to say. Lin Qingning could really make his family and the entire Northern Yan restless with her own strength.
The key point is that he still owes Lin Qingning. She has such a temper because of the terrible things she experienced in the past.
Yan Xingchuan didn't know how to discipline her.
"If only Ah Si were here..."
At this point, he shook his head and smiled: "Even if he were here, he probably wouldn't care."
Husband and wife are one, they should stick together and support each other, but as she said, she had indeed been in the same boat with him in her previous life. He owed the Lin family, and he wanted to repay the Lin family, so she would accompany him no matter how much.
But to repay her, he had to kick her off the boat they were in the same boat with, give her seat to someone else, and let her drown in the water. From that moment on, there was no longer any sharing of the same boat between them.
She wouldn't get on his boat.
No matter how tired he was, how miserable he was, or how caught in a dilemma, she wouldn't care anymore. After all, it was his own responsibility and he had to suffer the consequences himself.
"By the way, didn't I tell you before that I would arrange for someone to teach Madam Lin? Why didn't it work?"
The palace's housekeeper replied, "Madam Lin... Madam Lin simply has no one who dares to teach her. She's been wronged, so she goes to someone to cry about it, saying she's been bullied. The person who taught her is guilty, and it's hard to explain!"
"She went to those people to cry?"
"An old member of the Zhenbei Marquisate."
Yan Xingchuan: “…” No wonder, who would dare to teach me this?
"Your Majesty." A personal guard knocked on the door and came in, bowing and saying, "Your Majesty, Madam Chang and Miss Chang request to see you."
"Madam Chang and Madam Chang?" Yan Xingchuan looked at the sky, a little surprised, but nodded. "They came so late, they must have something urgent. Let them wait in the guest garden for a while. I will be there soon."
Yan Xingchuan put Lin Qingning's matter behind him, changed into neat clothes and went to meet the Chang mother and daughter.
When he arrived, the two were already waiting. Seeing Yan Xingchuan approaching, they quickly bowed their heads and saluted: "Greetings, Master."
"No need to be so polite. It's already dark. Is there something urgent that brings you here at this time?"
Madam Chang fell to her knees and said, "Please, my Lord, save my A-ru!"
Yan Xingchuan was startled by her sudden kneeling and quickly said, "Madam Chang, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. As long as it is legitimate, if the Chang family needs help, I will naturally not stand idly by. Hurry up, Madam Chang, help your mother up first."
Chang Ru quickly reached out and helped her mother up.
Madam Chang also obediently let her daughter help her up, then wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said to Yan Xingchuan: "My Lord, my son has a miserable life!"
"General Shen wanted to marry the Princess of Nanhuai for the sake of Northern Yan, and it would have been fine if he had broken the marriage alliance with my son, but today he came to my house and told me to stop caring about the distinction between wives and concubines and just be a little humbled and become his concubine."
