Chapter 450 Who Dares to Marry Now?
Although Qiao Yuanan was surprised, he did not think much about it. He just clasped his fists politely and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Shen. I have official business to attend to now, so I can't stay for long. I will invite Mr. Shen to visit you at my house another day."
Chen Pin listened to his gentle and humble voice, and his heart was filled with joy.
"Yeah, okay."
He invited me to his house!
Chen Pin roared excitedly in his heart, but his appearance became more obedient and gentle.
After Qiao Yuanan finished speaking, he patted Qiao Jingru on the shoulder and said, "Have fun. I'm leaving first."
"Okay, brother."
Lu Chao approached Qiao Jingru and whispered, "I was frightened today. Please come back home early and make something delicious to comfort my wounded heart."
Qiao Yuanan pulled the man away with a dark face.
…
He Zhimiao ran all the way back to her room, locked herself in the room, hid under the quilt and cried.
After hearing the servant's report, Mrs. Luo hurried to her daughter's yard.
All the maids were driven out by He Zhimiao. After Mrs. Luo found out the reason, she was so angry that she slapped He Zhimiao's personal maid and said, "You useless bastard, you just watched the fourth young lady being bullied."
The maid covered her cheeks, lowered her head in fear, and dared not say a single word.
Luo snorted and pushed the door open.
She walked to the bed and pulled back the quilt: "Miao'er, it's mother."
He Zhimiao was filled with grief and indignation. When she saw Luo, she threw herself into her arms and cried, "Mom, they are too much of a bully. I hate them so much. I hate them so much in my heart."
Luo also felt hatred in his heart.
Seeing that the title of Marquis Wu'an would soon fall on the heads of their second branch, unexpectedly, He Yu found his son, and the duck at their mouth flew away. That was not all, at the family recognition banquet, her daughter became a laughing stock, and from then on she had a reputation as an unlucky person, so their family was also affected. The ladies who had been on good terms with her in the past all avoided her as much as possible, and the official matchmaker who helped Miao'er find a date directly rejected their family's marriage.
Not only is Miao'er now ignored by everyone, but even her son, who had originally found a family to marry him, suddenly came and said that their horoscopes were not compatible and turned them down.
Bah, a bunch of people who look down on others.
"You are so confused. You can fall in love with anyone else, but you have to fall in love with Lu Chao? He is just a bastard's son. Is it worth it for you to lower yourself to be his concubine?" Luo said helplessly.
He Zhimiao stood up from Luo's arms and said, "Mom, I didn't choose this person casually. I made the decision after careful consideration."
Luo looked at her in confusion.
"The Qiao family dotes on Qiao Jingru in every way. I heard that Lu Chao moved out of the Lu family for a mistress. Qiao Jingru couldn't stand this humiliation and returned to her parents' home. They even wanted to divorce. Although I don't know what happened in between that made them reconcile, I believe that with the Qiao family's high regard for Qiao Jingru, they would not want to see her suffer any grievances. Now that Qiao Yuanan has become the top scholar in the imperial examination, the Qiao family is even more prosperous. Although Lu Chao is a concubine's son, his father is the Minister of Works, and he is the eldest son. He has also entered Jingzhao Prefecture for training. His future achievements are immeasurable."
"Although I have to be his concubine now, my daughter's methods will definitely win over Lu Chao's heart. Then I can try to provoke his relationship with Qiao Jingru. The Qiao family will not give up. Even if we divorce, as long as Qiao Jingru is driven away, I will be able to make him the legitimate daughter-in-law. Then I will be the legitimate daughter-in-law of the Shangshu Mansion."
He Zhimiao calmly analyzed the pros and cons.
Qiao Yuanan, the number one scholar, is a good person, but he is the emperor's new favorite. She is forced to bear an ominous reputation, fearing that the emperor will interfere and ruin her good fortune.
So He Zhimiao doesn't choose people he is not sure of.
Since Lu Chao would turn against the Lu family and move out for a mistress, it was obvious that he was a playboy. The more such a man was, the easier it would be for him to be seduced. And she entered the mansion as a concubine. Even though the Lu family was concerned about her unlucky reputation, a concubine was not as good as a wife, so they would not object too much. After all, her father was the imperial censor of the dynasty and a member of the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion.
But she never expected that things did not go according to her plan.
Not only did that bastard Lu Chao not support her, he even kicked her out, causing her to fall to the ground. She was then ridiculed and mocked by Qiao Jingru and Chen Pin, and suffered humiliation.
If she doesn't take revenge, she would be unworthy of being a human being.
Mrs. Luo had no idea her daughter had such a plan and was so shocked that it took her a long time to come back to her senses.
"You...why did you act on your own without consulting mother?"
He Zhimiao gritted her teeth and said, "If I tell you, will Dad and Mom agree to let their daughter be Lu Chao's concubine?"
Luo opened his mouth, but couldn't respond.
How could I agree?
After all, even if she was to be someone's concubine, she would definitely not be an unknown little person like Lu Chao.
What's the use of being an official in Jingzhao Prefecture? It's unknown when he will be able to make a name for himself.
"Since Lu Chao is so unromantic, you don't have to spend your time on him." Luo said, "Your father and I have discussed it and want you to marry into the Anguo Mansion, but we haven't come up with a perfect plan for this matter, so we haven't told you yet."
He Zhimiao was stunned for a moment, and asked in astonishment: "Who will I marry in the Anguo Mansion?"
Luo gave her a look and chuckled, "Who else could it be for you, kid? Of course it's the Prince Song."
He Zhimiao took a deep breath when she heard this: "Mom, are you crazy? Song Yanjun is unlucky in marriage. Are you going to kill your daughter?"
Once upon a time, Song Yanjun was the husband candidate that thousands of girls in the capital were vying for.
But that is the past after all.
Who dares to marry Song Yanjun now?
Even though Duke Anguo is extremely powerful and Song Yanjun is suave and handsome, no one is brave enough to risk his life to jump into this fire pit.
Isn't it nice to watch from a distance?
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could my parents harm you?" Luo said, "I'm sorry to hear that he is unlucky and you are unlucky. These two things might cancel each other out. If you marry him, you will be the wife of the prince of the Duke of Anguo's mansion, and you will be able to enjoy endless wealth and glory from now on."
By then, their family will be able to turn things around with the help of this big tree, and no one will dare to laugh at them behind their backs anymore.
