Chapter 591 Isn’t he a live-in son-in-law?
The War King said slowly, "Isn't he a live-in son-in-law? There's no need for a betrothal gift!"
In the past, when he heard that Liao Jiu, the governor of the Six Gates, the most talented young men in the capital, and a favorite of the emperor, became someone else's son-in-law, he was a little surprised and thought it was somewhat impolite.
Now, I feel pretty good.
It couldn't be more perfect.
Mrs. Zhou immediately understood what the King of War meant, as they had expected it long ago.
"Yes, then we can prepare a dowry for our son. I only have this one son anyway, and whether he gets married or not is my responsibility. I just want him to have a good life... His grandfather and uncle also think the same way. We can't let the children down. They are all excellent and have better vision than us older generations..."
Jiang Lianzhu...
Liao Jiu...
The young couple looked at each other and laughed.
Liao Jiu knew it clearly in his mind. Yes, it was obviously his grandfather and his men's idea.
It's hard for his mother too.
He was able to respond to the War King's words with such a relaxed and nonchalant tone.
The young couple also obviously accepted the War King's intention.
Prince Zhan wants Liao Jiu to be his son-in-law, and he values his wife very much. In the future, Prince Zhan's Mansion may be handed over to his wife.
Jiang Lianzhu elbowed Liao Jiu.
Liao Jiu immediately said, "Mother, we've been married for so long, there's no need to hold a new wedding, right? Everyone in the capital knows we're married. My wife isn't the type to enjoy a lively occasion, and holding another wedding would be too much trouble with all the formalities."
Madam Zhou said, "We adults are in charge, and we don't need you two to take care of anything. What's the trouble? Prince Zhan, isn't that right? Let's coordinate the two families and discuss how to hold the ceremony, how to choose the date, and when the child is born, what's the surname and name, and where to find a wet nurse... If we don't hurry up, the child will be born soon, and we still haven't chosen a wet nurse..."
The War King smiled and said, "Yes, in that case, we need to discuss it carefully."
Jiang Lianzhu... What the hell, the baby is about to be born, but she's not even pregnant yet.
She has no plans to get pregnant now, as she still has three young puppies at home. She wants to wait until they grow up a little before considering having children.
I am afraid that after having children, my daughters are still young and they have their own thoughts.
Since she is their stepmother and has promised them that she will raise them no matter what the circumstances, she will definitely raise them well.
So, she and Liao Jiu took contraceptive measures.
Liao Jiu always did it outside the body, or Jiang Lianzhu asked him to wear a condom.
"How about this, wife?" Liao Jiu had nothing to say and kicked the ball to Jiang Lianzhu.
Jiang Lianzhu narrowed her eyes. "There's really no need to remarry. I appreciate Mother's kindness. If we really want to be polite, we can have a grand celebration for our child with Liao Jiu in the future. There's not much point in remarrying now. I appreciate Mother and my uncles and grandfather's kindness. What happened in the past is over. I'm not such a petty person and won't take it to heart."
It is better to have less trouble than more.
Her marriage to Liao Jiu was originally a matter between the two of them, and there was no need to mix it up with any messy stuff.
Mrs. Zhou saw that the young couple had the same idea and it was difficult to persuade them.
He turned and looked at the War King.
The War King pondered for a moment, "I also advocate having another one, but their two little ones don't want to. So let's just follow their wishes. We can have a bigger one after they have children. There's still a lot of time to live."
Mrs. Zhou had no choice but to give up.
It's a bit of a pity.
If only I hadn’t been so stubborn.
It would be great to have a grand wedding for our children without being rude!
Such a good daughter-in-law is really hard to find even with a lantern. Maybe you are blind.
Fortunately, her son was not blind.
Mrs. Zhou's trip was not in vain, as she happened to meet the King of War and Jiang Lianzhu who were discussing the matter of recognizing their ancestors.
I helped to give several suggestions, but Jiang Lianzhu and Liao Jiu are two juniors and don't understand.
As for the King of War, he was preoccupied with state affairs and had little experience in such trivial matters.
The date was set for the next day. They would return to Prince Zhan's Mansion to open the ancestral temple and recognize their ancestors. Mrs. Zhou said that she would come to help early the next morning. Since there was no hostess at Prince Zhan's Mansion, all the difficult matters should be handed over to her for help as much as possible. Since the two children were the only sons in each other's families, the two families should treat each other as one family and there should be no formalities.
The War King also agreed.
Mrs. Zhou had acted excessively in the past, and now Liao Jiu and Jiang Lianzhu refused to re-hold the wedding, so she wanted to do more to make up for her mistake.
In short, it's boring to be idle, and she feels relaxed when she can do more things for the children.
***
At night, go to the Bamboo Garden.
Jiang Lianzhu finished her work only after everyone had gone to bed, and now she had a rare moment to be alone with Liao Jiu.
After washing up, the couple lay on the bed and talked about their body.
After a tiring day, today is an exciting day.
To the extent that Jiang Lianzhu's brain had stopped working and became dull, she was still unable to recover even while lying in Liao Jiu's arms.
"Dog Liao Jiu... How could I be the daughter of the War King?"
Liao Jiu chuckled, "You're the only one who's stupid. You're the one who's in the know, and I've been suspicious of this for a long time."
Jiang Lianzhu said, "I really didn't think about it. I had a shadow on Jiang Qingcai and the others, so I didn't even think about looking for my biological parents. What if they were another bunch of top-notch people? I was so worried, so I subconsciously resisted thinking about it. Besides, our Shamen County is so far away from the capital... It's not very connected geographically. How could a newborn baby like me end up in Shamen County and still be alive?"
Liao Jiu gently stroked Jiang Lianzhu's hair.
Smooth and fragrant.
"This is indeed suspicious. We don't know the full story of what happened back then, but you were abducted from the capital and sold to Shamen County, and still survived. You're truly lucky. We can only make a bold guess. Didn't someone steal you, skin you, and then throw you on Lingchuan Mountain in Damong Country, misleading the War King and poisoning him?"
"Yeah." Jiang Lianzhu nodded.
They had heard about this from the War King.
In theory, her biological mother was a witch from the Darong Kingdom, which was a hostile nation to the Da'an Kingdom. Darong wanted to use her to frame the War King...
Then her disappearance was not just a simple case of a traitor in Prince Zhan’s Palace bribing the people in Baihua Tower, but also involved the Darong Kingdom.
Just thinking about it makes my head hurt.
The scope involved is too large and too complicated.
Liao Jiu continued to analyze, "It might be because there are so many forces involved. The Darong Kingdom took advantage of you and is causing trouble, so they must have been involved. There is also a traitor in the Zhan Palace who colluded with the Baihua Tower. It is indeed written in the remaining information about the Baihua Tower in the National Master's Mansion. I asked Xiang Zuo to check it out again today. I didn't pay attention to it before because it was written cryptically and didn't think it was related to the Zhan Palace. Now that I check it out, it refers to the Zhan Palace's business! So, so many forces participated in the incident that harmed you. In the chaos, what link did they go wrong, which actually gave you a glimmer of hope..."
