Chapter 202: Preventing Her from Becoming the Queen
Chen Chunhua glanced at Song Mingzhu, who sat expressionlessly at the side. "The Du family clearly can't bear to part with Du Zhihuan. After all, they treat her like their own daughter. But the Jiang family and Song Yu won't let her stay and are determined to get the engagement back."
Cui said, "So Du Zhihuan can't enter the palace, and won't be able to become a princess in the future. Then won't we be able to benefit from it?"
Chen Chunhua frowned and said angrily, "Still want to take advantage of me? You haven't figured it out yet!"
Cui quickly shut up.
"The Wu family is in imminent danger. The only reason we can escape this temporarily is because of Mrs. Du's consideration for Song Yu. Otherwise, your son will never be able to pass the imperial examination in the future!"
When the imperial examination was mentioned, Song Mingzhu's expression changed, "I'm afraid Han Ge'er will also be implicated."
"Don't worry, sister. Han Ge'er didn't participate in the baby swap, so he'll be fine."
Song Mingzhu was filled with regret at this moment. "If the Du family wants to recognize Song Yu, they will definitely not let the Wu family go. Han Ge'er's path to the imperial examination is over."
Song Minglang: "Is this... so serious?"
Song Mingzhu nodded, pressed her head and looked worried.
"Sister, can you please ask Huanhuan to ask Lord Du to at least save Han Ge'er's career?"
Song Minglang didn't want Song Mingzhu to become a commoner after being an official's wife for more than ten years.
Since Han Ge'er has become an official, my sister will still be the official's wife.
"Beg her? Don't count on her." Chen Chunhua said angrily, "Lord Du was about to strangle Wu Lingheng to death in front of her, but she didn't even beg for mercy. She only wants to be the daughter of the Du family and won't come back to be the daughter of the Wu family."
Chen Chunhua turned to Song Mingzhu and said, "We still have seven days left. Let's see if we can get Han'er registered as a member of the Song family. Being a member of the Song family shouldn't affect his chances of taking the imperial examination, right?"
"This... isn't that easy, is it?"
"No matter if it works or not, we have to try. If it doesn't work..." Chen Chunhua looked at Song Mingzhu, who looked more elegant than before she got married, and smiled. "Jiang Yunwan is pregnant. You two are about the same age. We can still have another son and raise him again."
Song Minglang/Cui Shi:!!!
"Another son?" Song Mingzhu was shocked. "Wu Lingheng and I will have another child?"
"Bah!" Chen Chunhua said with disgust, "Who will give him a son? You're divorced, so you can remarry and find a good man to give birth to a son."
Song Mingzhu was stunned, her eyes full of disbelief. "It's not easy for a divorced woman to remarry. I'll go back and think of a way to save Han Ge'er's career."
After saying this, Song Mingzhu ran away in a hurry.
"Mother, this is in the capital. It's not easy for my sister to remarry, and our Song family is not well-known. It's hard to find a good husband with a good family background and no concubines."
Chen Chunhua was unhappy. "If Zhuzhu wants to get married, she will definitely meet a good husband. Now our Song family has been saved. You two should hurry to the largest medical clinic in the capital and give me more grandchildren..."
The two sisters Song Yu returned home and went to Old Lady Jiang's yard first.
As soon as I entered the yard, I heard Wen Nuo's voice coming from the main hall, "Grandma Jiang, when your eyes are restored, little brother will be able to speak.
"Why are your little brother's hands still so thin?"
When the three sisters came in, they saw Wen Shu and Wen Nuo sitting on the left and right of Old Madam Jiang.
Old Madam Jiang held two small hands, one fat and one thin, and tilted her head to look at Wen Shu, her face full of heartache.
After returning from Fengquan Villa, Jiang Youya brought Wen Shu and Wen Nuo to her room.
It's been a few days, no matter how weak you are, you should have gained weight.
What's more, Sister Yu has recovered.
Jiang Youya said: "Wen Shu is very weak and it will take at least half a year for him to gain weight. This child is very likable. You will definitely like him when you see him after you regain your sight."
"Grandpa and grandma, we are back."
"You three are finally back. Aunt Gui, please serve the meal quickly." After giving her instructions, Madam Jiang turned and looked in Jiang Youya's direction. "Sister Yu, your mother just came and said that Madam Du's condition is not serious?"
"It's not a big deal. Pay attention to your diet and you won't have a stroke. Come back for a checkup in seven days and adjust the prescription..."
Jiang Youya said, "Sister Yu, I know about the Du family. I haven't seen Lord Du for a long time. I will go to the Du Mansion with you in seven days."
He wanted to see the Du family's attitude for himself and would never let Sister Yu suffer any injustice.
"Youya, what's going on with the Du family?" Old Madam Jiang always felt that her family seemed to be hiding a lot of things from her.
"Nothing, just looking for Du Henian to find out what Cheng Xiao's achievements were at the border."
"Then find out more about it. It has something to do with Xiao's title of nobility, so we can't be careless."
After the three sisters finished their meal in the main courtyard, they went to Song Yu's room in Furong Garden, leaving Bai Lan and Qing He to guard outside.
"Cousin Meng, you can tell me now. Why is it so troublesome for Du Zhihuan to become a princess?"
Jiang Shiyun: "Tell me, with our ability to find out the Cheng family's secret room, nothing can be difficult for us."
Cheng Qingmeng lowered his voice and said, "I dreamed that Prince Xiao would become the emperor in the future."
"How is that possible?"
Jiang Shiyun's first reaction was disbelief. "Even if Prince Xiao is favored by the Emperor, it won't be his turn. This must be fake! My cousin's precognitive dreams are all about people closely related to me, and Prince Xiao has nothing to do with you. This is definitely an illusory dream."
Cheng Qingmeng looked at Song Yu, who looked slightly shocked. "Cousin, what do you think?"
"Cousin, you're right. This dream can't be true. But last time you dreamt of your eldest cousin being beaten and suffering, we didn't believe it either. Turns out he's still alive and suffering. We can't just ignore that dream. Let's just assume that what happened in the dream will happen. Prince Xiao becomes emperor. Then Du Zhihuan..."
"The Queen! She has much more power than the Princess. She will definitely suppress us then. After all, a new emperor appoints new ministers."
Jiang Shiyun: "Isn't there still the Du Mansion? Lord Du won't let her do that. My cousin is his biological daughter."
"Now that she's the queen, the relationship between Lord Du and her has changed. It's now that of monarch and subject."
"Marquis Du has military power in his hands, and at worst, there's the power of the Mu family. Even if she becomes queen, she won't be able to suppress us at will."
This matter concerns the political power, and Cheng Qingmeng couldn't explain it clearly for the time being. "In short, her becoming the queen will do more harm than good to us. This engagement must be taken back. Why should she, a fake daughter, become the queen? The one who should be the queen is our cousin."
Song Yu now understood why Wu Lingheng looked down on the power of the Jiang family. He wanted his daughter to be the queen, so that the Wu family would become royal relatives.
"Cousin Meng, doesn't the emperor already have a son? How could it be his turn? What happened in the dream?"
Cheng Qingmeng: "The little prince is only seven years old now. He has been weak and sickly since childhood. He is very close to and trusts Prince Xiao. The little prince is unable to handle political affairs. Do you think the throne will be passed to Prince Xiao?"
"Cousin Meng." Jiang Shiyun said, "If you say so, the things in the dream may really happen. I must get the engagement back no matter what!"
Song Yu said, "If the engagement is taken back, do I really have to marry Prince Xiao?"
"You must marry!"
"Yes! You must marry."
Song Yu frowned slightly, "Prince Xiao has a good relationship with Du Zhihuan, so he might not be interested in me."
Cheng Qingmeng said, "Whether you like him or not, you have to marry him and become his legal wife. If he becomes emperor, you will be the empress, and Du Zhihuan can only be a concubine if she enters the palace. As the empress, wouldn't it be easy for you to control her?"
"What if she gets me?"
"Cousin, you won't do that. You're so smart that you'll definitely be able to control her."
Song Yu shook her head. "I don't want to live a life of intrigue and scheming every day. It's too tiring. My future husband must be as devoted to me as my father was to my mother. Instead of worrying about Du Zhihuan becoming queen in the future, it's better to prevent her from having the chance to become queen!"
"So what should we do?"
"Of course, I'm going to find an opportunity to see the little prince. If he recovers, not only will Prince Xiao have no chance of becoming emperor, but Du Zhihuan will have no chance of becoming empress!"
