Chapter 12 Threats
Liu Sihua and Luo Kejin looked at each other again and immediately smiled happily.
"Hello, Hua Niang. Hello, Hua Niang."
Luo Kejin quickly stepped forward and grabbed Luo Ziqian's shoulders.
"Whose flower girl is this?"
"The one with the flower-filled building?"
"If you like, Dad will redeem her and make her your concubine. How about that?"
"If you don't like it, you can also choose from Wanxiang Pavilion. The girls in Wanxiang Pavilion are good..."
Luo Kejin was talking excitedly when his ears were suddenly pinched and pulled up.
“Hey hey hey——”
Luo Kejin screamed in pain.
"How do you know the girls from Wanxiang Pavilion are good?"
"Have you been there?"
Liu Sihua's sinister voice fell in his ears, and Luo Kejin quickly begged for mercy.
"No, no, ma'am, please listen to my explanation..."
"I heard this from others..."
"You know I wouldn't go to a place like that..."
"Besides, even if I wanted to go, I don't have any money! All the money in the house is in your hands. How can I escape your eyes if I do anything?"
Luo Kejin spoke sincerely, feeling very wronged.
Liu Sihua thought about it and felt that it made sense, but he still kept it in mind and decided to investigate the matter carefully later.
After all, now is not the time to pursue this matter. The most urgent matter is my son's affairs.
So, soon, both of them turned around and "interrogated" Luo Ziqian together.
Luo Ziqian did not expect his father and mother's reaction to be so big. He was so panicked that he was incoherent for a moment.
"I don't……"
He patted his head as he spoke. At this time, he was still concerned about Gu Jingchun's reputation and remembered not to betray Gu Jingchun. So he said casually:
"I just thought that girl was pretty that day..."
Luo Ziqian felt that this reason was far-fetched and he might not even believe it, but he didn't expect Luo Kejin and Liu Sihua to be so happy.
"Okay, that's great."
"It's beautiful!"
Liu Sihua said: "Son, as long as you like, no matter which beautiful girl it is, mother can bring her home to you."
Hearing this, Luo Ziqian exclaimed in surprise.
"real?"
"Of course it's true."
Liu Sihua thought, she was just a girl in a brothel. As long as her son stopped hanging out with other men in the future, she would redeem him even if there were ten of them.
But Luo Ziqian suddenly knelt down and said seriously:
"Dad, Mom, when I came back the other day, I fell in love with a girl. I asked Dad and Mom to help me marry her."
This time, Luo Kejin and Liu Sihua were stunned again. They looked at each other again, and neither of them could believe what they heard.
After a moment, Liu Sihua spoke tentatively.
"Which girl do you...feel attracted to?"
Luo Ziqian said, "The eldest daughter of the Yong'an Marquisate, Gu Jingchun."
"oh……"
Luo Kejin breathed a sigh of relief.
But Liu Sihua suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"Are you talking about the daughter of a wealthy family who grew up in the countryside and was just found by the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion?"
Luo Ziqian nodded.
"She...she's a widow, with a three or four-year-old child. Are you sure you want to marry her?"
Luo Ziqian nodded.
"It's not her fault that she's a widow. It's her as a person that her son likes."
"Besides, my son believes that since she is such a good person, the children she raises must be the best too."
Liu Sihua looked at Luo Ziqian who was so serious and couldn't help but look at Luo Kejin.
Luo Kejin didn't think so much.
In his opinion, as long as his son could forget that man and wanted to find a woman to marry, even if she was a fool, he would happily marry her home.
So Luo Kejin agreed without any hesitation.
"Okay, I will immediately send someone to the Gu family to test their opinions. If everything goes well, the marriage will be finalized immediately."
Luo Kejin spoke quickly, fearing that Luo Ziqian would regret it if he spoke slowly.
Liu Sihua also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The day after tomorrow is the Queen Mother's birthday. When I get to the palace, I can have a good talk with Madam Gu about this matter."
"I've met that girl before and I'm sure she's a lovely lady. I can see that her demeanor is no less than those noble ladies who have been trained since childhood."
Liu Sihua also knew that based on her son's current reputation in Tiandu, no woman would be willing to marry him.
If Gu Jingchun has good character, he would be a good choice.
However, we still need to look into the details.
She would ask someone to inquire now, and there would probably be a result in the evening. Wouldn't it be too late to wait until the birthday party the day after tomorrow?
How about we go to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion tomorrow to check out the situation?
I might as well just go and make the reservation tomorrow to avoid any further hassles.
Liu Sihua was still thinking, but Luo Ziqian interrupted her thoughts and continued: "Mother, your son has another request."
"What?" Liu Sihua looked alert, fearing that his son would go back on his word.
"That's right."
Luo Ziqian said.
"That girl didn't have a good life in the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion. Her mother brought her back so that she could marry the Third Prince in place of her sister.
So if you rashly come to their house, I'm sure they won't agree to this marriage."
"What!"
Liu Sihua stood up suddenly.
"Marry the Third Prince?"
"That's her biological daughter. How could the Gu family be so cruel?"
Luo Kejin was also shocked.
He had been in the court for a long time, and he also knew that the emperor was quite dissatisfied with the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion. His intention to let the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion and the third prince get married was also intended to suppress them.
After all, the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion is now at its peak, but they are still thinking about the position of the Crown Princess.
His Majesty is suspicious by nature, and they are so bold as to dare to do this now.
It seems that the fate of the Yong'an Marquisate is almost over.
However, Luo Kejin thought that if his son really married the daughter of Marquis Yong'an, then their two families would be tied together in the future, so he had to find a way to persuade them again!
But in a flash, Luo Kejin had already made up his mind, and then he heard Luo Ziqian continue:
"Therefore, I beg you to ask His Majesty to grant me the marriage at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet."
"What!"
Now, Luo Kejin could no longer sit still.
"Do you know what you are saying?"
"Your father has only been in office for a few days. What makes you think I have the ability to influence the emperor's decision?
You are pushing me, your father, into the pit of fire!"
Moreover, if he insisted on requesting the marriage, he would probably offend the Marquis of Yong'an, which would be even more disadvantageous to their Luo family.
Luo Ziqian turned his head and took a few steps while muttering softly.
"What are you mumbling about?"
Luo Kejin raised his voice.
"I'm telling you, if you don't ask, then I won't marry. I'll never marry again in my life. Anyway, I can still be with Meng Lang..."
"Shut up!"
Luo Kejin became angry again.
"Why did I raise a damn thing like you!"
"I owe you my whole life!"
Luo Kejin gritted his teeth, but he had no way to deal with his son.
He had been in poor health in his early years and his family was poor. It was thanks to Liu Sihua's loyalty over the years that they had such a son after being married for many years. He was the only son in three generations, so naturally he loved the child very much.
He beat him, scolded him, and locked him up, but he still insisted on being with that boy.
He originally thought that the Luo family's incense would be cut off, but he didn't expect that things would turn around one day. How could he bear to let it go?
Therefore, he could only sigh lightly, turn around and leave to make arrangements as quickly as possible.
