Chapter 152 Completely Make the Princess Give Up
When Gu Ruanci heard this, she didn't quite understand.
How are these two people related?
"Why? Yuyan has been very careful in her conduct, how could she have offended the eldest princess?"
Wen Haiyue sighed and whispered, "The eldest princess is unable to give birth, and you are unwilling to help. She wants to help Lu Hongbo find a concubine, and one she can control."
Gu Ruanci was even more confused: "Doesn't Lu Hongbo have concubines? And they were all given as dowry by the eldest princess."
Wen Haiyue quickly said, "No matter how much they are the Grand Princess's dowry, their status is still slaves. How can they compare with the daughters of officials and noble families? However, the Grand Princess also knows that it is impossible for them to marry the daughters of powerful ministers, so she has set her sights on Yuyan."
Gu Ruanci narrowed her eyes and said, "The daughter of a minister is also an unattainable noble lady for the common people. Moreover, Lu Hongbo's own position is far inferior to that of Minister Lian. What virtue does he have to allow the minister's legitimate daughter to become his concubine?"
"Isn't he the prince consort? If Yuyan marries him in the future, the child she gives birth to will be considered the eldest princess's legitimate son, which would be an honor."
After hearing this, Gu Ruanci became even more disgusted with the eldest princess Lu Shuyi.
It was right not to treat her before.
"She's trying to force me to take action. She knows the relationship between Yuyan and me. Such scheming is really uncomfortable."
Wen Haiyue was also somewhat helpless: "No matter what, she was raised by the Empress herself. Even if she doesn't have a higher rank than a legitimate princess, she is still the eldest, so the palace may not care about this matter. Minister Lian will be even less likely to feel sorry for Yuyan. Maybe Minister Lian's second wife has contributed to this."
Gu Ruanci understood that Lian Yuyan had indeed had a hard time moving forward in the Lian family over the years.
She has worked hard to achieve what she has today.
She remembered what Lian Yuyan had said to her before, that she would not use marriage to bind the Gu family, after all, the Lian family was a bottomless pit.
"There's nothing I can do about this."
After Gu Ruanci said this, Wen Haiyue's eyes dimmed a lot.
But she also understood that she couldn't let Gu Ruanci figure out a solution to this kind of problem on her own.
The root of the problem lies with the eldest princess.
"Ah, I was just upset after hearing about it. Yuyan hasn't taken the initiative to tell us about this matter until now. It was Suyue who mentioned it that day. After all, her father is the superior of Lu Hongbo's father."
Gu Ruanci said, "Logically speaking, Minister Lian is Lu Hongbo's superior in the Ministry of Rites. Lu Hongbo has no right to have Minister Lian's legitimate daughter as his concubine. Minister Lian's behavior is really disheartening."
She couldn't help but sigh that with a stepmother, there would be a stepfather.
Wen Haiyue sighed heavily again: "You just said there's nothing you can do, so I'm even more helpless. After all, there's really no other way except to get angry."
After Minister Wen took Wen Haiyue away, Gu Ruanci was still thinking about this matter.
The eldest princess has really brought shame to the royal family. She actually wanted to force me to treat her in this way.
"Does the county lady want to help?" Nong Chun asked, looking at Gu Ruanci's expression.
"I'm not some saint, and I don't have the energy to manage everyone's affairs. If I agree to this matter today, I'll find a way, and there will be more problems in the future. It's just that the eldest princess is targeting me, and I don't want to spoil her."
Zang Xia asked, "What does the county lady want to do?"
Gu Ruanci said: "As long as the problem does not occur to her, there will be no problem."
Nong Chun and Zang Xia looked confused and obviously hadn't figured it out.
However, Gu Ruanci did not explain, but wrote a note himself and asked Nong Chun to take the Lingzi token to the Jinshi Pawnshop.
After Nongchun left, Zangxia asked again, "County Lady, since you need the Crown Prince's help, why don't you just wait until the next treatment and ask him in person?"
Gu Ruanci replied, "We'll have to wait, and this time we don't need him to take action, his subordinates already know what to do. Lu Enyan already said last time that he gave the order to his subordinates. From now on, my people will carry the token and don't need to pass on the order to him. They can just do what I tell them to do."
Zang Xia nodded and said, "What does the county lady want them to do?"
"You'll know within three days."
Sure enough, just two days later, when Lu Hongbo came back from drinking, he fell down the stairs and injured his vitals, which he could no longer use.
Now the eldest princess doesn't have to worry about having children, let alone thinking about taking a concubine for him.
Lu Hongbo was not a serious person, so Gu Ruanci did not hesitate at all when arranging these things.
If he had been a little more upright, the eldest princess would not have kept trying to find a concubine for him.
When they gathered together, Wen Haiyue kept marveling at the thought that it was truly God's will that Lu Hongbo should be injured at this very moment instead of earlier. Lian Yuyan could finally escape the disaster.
Lian Yuyan did not feel gloating, but only felt sad about surviving the disaster.
In Dizhou City, she, the daughter of the Minister's family who was envied by countless people, almost became a victim of the royal family.
The oppression of imperial power, the indifference of her biological father, and the expectations of that man almost ruined her life.
"Luckily it's all over, otherwise we really wouldn't know what to do. The eldest princess has been acting increasingly erratically in recent years, and it's really unbearable. This time she doesn't have to worry about having children anymore, as her husband is no longer able to do so."
Wen Haiyue is always quick-witted and only she dares to say these words.
Chen Suyue said, "Haiyue, it's a good thing we're here today. If it were someone else, you would be in trouble."
"Don't worry, Suyue. I can only relax like this when I'm with you. To be honest, when I talked to Ruanci a few days ago, I was still confused. Now, I think God is finally helping us."
Wu Yixuan has been busy preparing for her wedding today. She wants to sew part of her wedding dress by herself so that she can feel more at ease.
Because time was tight, she did what she could and didn't take on too much. Moreover, her grandmother was particularly energetic and had already helped her pack more than half of the things.
The dowry left by her mother was naturally divided into two parts according to her will, and she would take half of it away.
Because she was always busy, they didn't tell her about what happened before.
Now that she had just heard that the matter had been resolved, she keenly felt that this might not be a coincidence.
There wouldn't be so many coincidences in Dizhou City, especially things like this.
Although the Lu family admitted defeat and Master Lu was furious, he only made the young man who tricked Lu Hongbo into drinking with him pay the price, but he could not undo the fact that Lu Hongbo was injured.
She glanced at Gu Ruanci, who was quiet at the moment, and thought to herself, could this matter also be related to her?
