Chapter 343 Who is the rumormonger?
Lu Qingyao was a little aggressive.
They say a friend in need is a friend indeed.
It is never the case that if you are a thousand times nice to others, others will be a hundred times nice to you.
The same is true for biological daughters.
Lu Wan may not be a rumormonger, but she never speaks the truth.
It won't work without some pressure.
"Lu Wan, you said you were forced. After the Lu family was rehabilitated, the Zhou family wouldn't force you to break away from the Lu family. Why don't you come back to visit your mother and pay tribute to your father?"
"Yes... my child is sick and I can't get away." Lu Wan's face turned red and white when asked.
She never thought that the Lu family would be rehabilitated and could return to the capital. This was unprecedented.
Who doesn’t want to be protected and supported by a strong mother’s family?
But when the Lu family was convicted, she had no choice but to distance herself from the matter.
If a daughter of a criminal marries out, her husband's family can divorce her if they are unhappy.
She has no home to return to, nowhere to rely on, and may even be exiled. She must be crazy to disobey her husband's family.
Lu Qingyao pressed on, "Your son is seven years old, right? A seven-year-old boy is sick, but he doesn't want to see a doctor. He actually wants you, his mother, to hold him and comfort him all the time. You don't even have time to pay respects to your deceased father?"
“I…this…”
Having said that, Lu Wan was completely unable to refute.
It has to be said sooner or later.
She simply stated her purpose, "It's the Shen family. Young Master Shen fell in love with Sister Yun at first sight and has admired her for a long time, so he asked me to act as a matchmaker."
Madam Lu questioned, "Yun'er hasn't been out much since she returned to the capital. How could she have fallen in love with him at first sight?"
When Mrs. Lu Er heard her daughter say this, she understood everything.
She should have thought of it just now. The first thing this child did when he returned home was not to pay homage to his deceased father, but to come here and gossip.
Wan'er didn't come to see her at all.
It is obvious that he has no business coming to the temple to act as a matchmaker for someone.
Her heart instantly turned cold.
Extremely disappointed with Lu Wan.
This daughter, I love her in vain!
She pulled her hand away from her daughter and sat quietly beside Old Madam Lu, tears welling up in her eyes.
Lu Qingyao searched for information about the Shen family in her mind.
Duke Shen sent a daughter into the palace, who was just canonized as Consort Shu last year. Now she is extremely popular and is highly favored by the emperor.
Normally, a noble family like theirs would choose a wife for their son, either a county princess or a princess.
How could he find the home of a military commander who had just been reinstated?
unless……
Jiang Miaomiao looked at her little aunt.
Ugh! I can't keep lying anymore.
Thinking of Madam Shen whom I saw under the covered bridge, she looked so disgusted when she talked about Sister Yun, it didn't look like she wanted to sincerely ask Sister Yun to marry her.
I'm afraid he has some ulterior motive.
It must be like this.
Jiang Miaomiao pulled her mother's sleeve and reminded her, "Mother, I heard Madam Shen say that she wanted to remarry her son, and she has been looking for a long time."
"Yes, it's the second marriage. Madam Shen met Sister Yun today and felt that she was a rare and good girl, so she decided to let me come and ask her first. If she is interested, then she can come to discuss it." Lu Wan quickly made up for it.
"The Shen family doesn't mind those rumors?" Lu Qingyao looked at her in disbelief.
Even if Young Master Shen were to remarry, he couldn't marry any girl he wanted.
How could he fall for Sister Yun who is burdened with rumors and stigma?
If it's not about her as a person, then it's about the power of her family behind her.
It seems that Concubine Shu also has ideas about that position.
Seeing that everyone was interested, Lu Wan found an empty chair and sat down with a smug smile on her face.
Youyou said: "This concerns a woman's reputation, how could the Shen family not mind? The young master is not a sucker, but Madam Shen also said that as long as Sister Yun agrees to a physical examination and invites the imperial physician to take her pulse, if Sister Yun is still innocent and in good health, the Shen family will come to propose marriage." Lu Wan felt that this was a great thing.
As long as it can clear up the rumors, a physical examination is nothing.
That is the Duke's Mansion, the mother's home of Concubine Shu, how many people would be eager to get there.
I don’t know what kind of luck Lu Zhiyun had that she was noticed by the Duke’s Mansion.
"No, Yun'er will not marry into the Shen family." Old Madam Lu was so angry that her chest hurt.
If she wasn't so old and blind, how could she not see the Shen family's intention?
If he first destroys someone's reputation and then proposes marriage, does he expect the Lu family to be grateful to his Shen family?
Don’t even think about it!
Things like physical examinations.
For an innocent girl, it is a great shame.
Lu Qingyao was speechless. "That Mr. Chen is so shameless that he even wants Sister Yun to have a physical examination. Who does he think he is? It's like our Sister Yun will not marry anyone but him. He didn't even look in the mirror to see if they are a good match."
Lu Wan was unhappy when she heard this, even though the Lu family still didn't recognize her.
She must make this happen today.
She looked at Lu Qingyao and said sarcastically, "Third sister, you can't say that. Once this rumor gets out, people's words are scary. Just tell me which family is willing to marry Yun Jie'er now, regardless of her innocence or not. If she doesn't marry the Shen family, what future does she have? Even if she is innocent, who would be willing to marry a woman who can't have children? It's good for everyone if the Shen family marries her. Yun Jie'er marries Shen Sanlang and will become the Duke's wife in the future. It's such a good marriage, I don't understand why you don't agree. Have you asked Yun Jie'er's opinion?"
Although this is quite touching.
But King Jing has done the Lu family a favor, so they can't possibly betray him.
Even if Sister Yun married into the Lu family, she would not get the support of the Lu family in the court. How could Sister Yun have a good life then?
It is still unknown what Young Master Shen’s character, talent and appearance are like, so how could he get married blindly like this?
Lu Qingyao asked, "How did Young Master Shen's ex-wife die? Did she leave any offspring?"
"I heard... he died of illness." Lu Wan was not sure about the details.
Lu Qingyao looked at her cousin meaningfully, "Lu Wan, this couldn't have been planned by you and the Shen family, right? Were you the one who spread the rumor? What benefits did the Shen family give you?"
"Are you crazy? Sister Yun is my niece after all. How could I possibly harm her?" Lu Wan felt very guilty.
She had previously thought about asking Sister Yun out and letting her meet Young Master Shen.
Wrestling, hugging and so on.
Then there was news that the two were in love and had an engagement.
You have to agree even if your aunt doesn't agree.
But I didn't expect this rumor to come out first.
Of course the Shen family minds, but as long as it is clarified, the Shen family is still willing to marry.
Because of this rumor, she was forced to come in person.
