Gu Jingchun sneered.
Yes, who would have thought that her own mother could harm her!
Chu Qianlan continued speaking.
"I've already decided. I'll send your child to a manor outside the city to be raised there, and we'll tell everyone that he died of illness."
After you get married, you can visit him more often when you have free time.
Chu Qianlan thought to herself.
Even if the third prince is an idiot, he is still a member of the royal family, and they cannot openly deceive the emperor under any circumstances.
So, she planned to send the child away and then, before getting married, find an excuse to say that the child had died of illness.
Anyway, we don't know which country bumpkin's son it is, so keeping it will only be an obstacle.
Chu Qianlan was fully prepared and was just waiting for Gu Jingchun's approval.
Unexpectedly, Gu Jingchun snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "Mother has a good plan."
"It's just a pity that I can't go through with this marriage, and as for my child, no one can take him away!"
Gu Jingchun's voice was cold and hard, carrying an unyielding domineering air, causing Chu Qianlan to pause for a moment before she angrily retorted:
"It won't work?"
"snort!"
"Once you enter the Yong'an Marquis's residence, there are some things you will no longer be able to make decisions about."
"I'm only discussing this with you because I care about you. Do you really think you have a choice?"
After she finished speaking, her voice softened further, employing a combination of kindness and firmness:
"Be good and listen to me. The Empress Dowager's birthday is in a few days. I will find a way to let you see the Third Prince. As long as he agrees, there will be no problem even if you are a second wife."
Gu Jingchun smiled upon hearing this.
"If my mother wants me to attend the banquet, I can do so if she gives me 30,000 taels of silver. I can make the necessary preparations."
Chu Qianlan was shocked!
What do you need so much money for?
"That's my business. If Mother wants me to make sacrifices, then I must have something to offer, right?"
"good!"
Chu Qianlan said sternly, "I'll give you thirty thousand taels, and you can obediently get married then."
After Chu Qianlan finished speaking, she turned and left.
Gu Jingchun watched her retreating figure and sneered.
She only said she would spend 30,000 taels to attend the banquet, but she didn't mention getting married!
After Chu Qianlan left, Lan Xin rushed in from outside the door.
"Madam has gone too far! How could she treat you like this!"
Lan Xin, who was standing outside, heard the conversation between the two clearly and immediately came over to comfort Gu Jingchun.
But Gu Jingchun no longer feels pain.
After all, she had long since stopped caring about her.
So, she didn't care what she said or did.
However, she couldn't possibly hurt her son!
Where is Seele?
"He's practicing calligraphy right now. He happened to see the Second Young Master's calligraphy today and thought it was better than his, so he started practicing when he got back."
Gu Jingchun nodded upon hearing this.
This is one of the reasons she came back.
This place is right under the emperor's nose, and there are countless talented people here.
It is more suitable for the development of a smart child like Seele.
Once her marriage is settled, it will be time for her to find a tutor for Seele.
"Tell Xiaoman to be careful. This Yong'an Marquis's mansion is filthy. Don't scare Xi'er."
Lanxin nodded.
I thought it was impossible to scare the young master; I was more afraid that some fool would come knocking on our door and scare them!
After Gu Jingchun finished speaking, he seemed to remember something else.
"By the way, go and send a message to Luo Ziqian, telling him to find a way to ask for a marriage decree at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet."
The Luo family.
Luo Ziqian had just received the news and was about to go and discuss it with his mother when the tightly closed door was suddenly kicked open from the outside.
Luo Kejin was holding a stick about the thickness of a forearm, and when he saw Luo Ziqian, he swung it.
Luo Ziqian acted swiftly, having already prepared himself by the time Luo Ke entered the room.
As he attacked, she jumped and landed on the table, easily dodging the blow.
Immediately afterwards, the second stick came down.
Luo Ziqian rolled off the table, successfully dodging the second baton, and was already standing outside the door.
Finally free, he immediately started running, shouting as he ran.
"Mother, Mother, come quick! My father is going to beat me to death!"
As he spoke, he quickly ran to the big tree on the west side of the courtyard and climbed up in no time.
By the time Luo Kejin chased after him with his stick, he was already standing on a tree branch.
Even if Luo Kejin was incredibly skilled, he couldn't harm him in the slightest.
"You brat, get down here right now."
"I won't!"
Luo Ziqian isn't stupid; coming down now would be suicide!
But Luo Kejin had nowhere to vent his anger, and finally couldn't hold back any longer, so he threw the stick in his hand at Luo Ziqian.
But he was a civil official after all, and he didn't have much strength in his hands. Not only did he not throw the stick high, but it also fell down and hit Luo Kejin squarely in the face.
Ouch!
He covered his face and fell to the ground.
"father!"
Upon seeing this, Luo Ziqian disregarded everything and immediately climbed down from the tree, running to Luo Kejin in just a few steps.
"Dad, are you alright?"
Luo Ziqian tried to help him up with concern, but before he could get close, Luo Kejin grabbed his wrist and then a stick fell on him.
"Ouch—"
"father--"
"Dad, how could you cheat me? I was just trying to be kind and care about you, and you actually tried to hit me! Don't you have any conscience?!"
