Chapter 250: Just Not Being Firmly Chosen
Lu Xinran felt happy when she left.
Talking to smart people saves effort, and the other person can understand what she means without you saying it explicitly.
If the emperor really uses the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion, then the Cui family can be regarded as an old force that will have a second spring.
If you want to seize power, military power is indispensable, and it may save your life at a critical moment.
Regardless of the past or the present, the Cui family and the Zhang family have a close relationship.
Even if the several princes attacked at the same time, Lu Xinran would think that Song Junyan would be more likely to succeed.
After all, he is the prince who is closest to the queen, and if Cui Shenglin really has feelings for Zhang Shuier, given her friendship with Zhang Shuier, the balance in her heart will be more inclined towards them.
Thinking of this, she felt a little more satisfied with herself.
With the help of the system, she can do even more.
When returning to the Lu Mansion, Kong had already recounted in detail what she had seen and heard at the Tang Family today.
After hearing what happened in the Duke of Zhongyong's mansion, Pei felt a little dazed.
How could the Cui family become so chaotic?
It's fine for three generations to live in one courtyard, but how can a concubine...
She felt uncomfortable when she thought that the servants in the Bo's mansion were probably children born to concubines.
She had been to the Duke of Zhongyong's mansion several times before!
"Old Master was a very powerful figure back then. How come he became so confused after leaving Haishan Pass?"
Kong was speechless after being asked this question. Her three perspectives were almost shattered today, and she is still a little shocked.
"Maybe they feel that life has come to this, and they don't bother to think about what will happen to future generations."
Doomed to have no future, it seems reasonable that they would want to give up.
Pei wanted to say something when she heard the servants in the courtyard paying their respects to Lu Xinran.
"Why are you back so soon?"
Pei waved at Lu Xinran with a smile. Lu Xinran walked forward and sat down with a smile, wanting to say that he and Song Junyan had already talked it over and said everything that needed to be said.
But then he remembered that Song Junyan seemed to have not mentioned to anyone that he was interested in the throne, and he still looked like he had no intention of doing so.
So when the words came to my lips, I changed them to: "There are some changes in the palace. The prince asked me to go over and take a look."
"Well, that's where you're going to live after you get married. You'd better take a closer look at it. It will be more comfortable for you to live there in the future."
Lu Xinran found an excuse not to tell the truth, so Pei naturally didn't ask any more questions.
As an old woman who was about to be buried, she really didn't want to worry too much.
"Have you had lunch at the palace?"
"Yes, Grandmother. The prince said that maybe my sister will be back by the end of the year."
Since Yucheng Pass can be recaptured in three months at most, the Queen will probably come back after the war is over.
When she comes back, Lu Xinlan will naturally come back with her.
When Pei heard her say this, she realized her intention almost instantly.
She smiled and nodded, then thought for a moment and asked, "Did you meet many wives in the Tang Mansion today?"
"Yes, Madam Tang invited quite a few people to the mansion today."
When Lu Xinran thought of those people, his eyes rolled again.
In her opinion, if it is not a firm choice but the result of weighing the pros and cons, then this choice is not worth having.
She would rather Lu Xinlan find a good man who would treat her well at the border and live a free life there.
"Mrs. Tang only has one son, so she has to be more cautious when choosing a wife for him. This is normal."
It's normal for Zhao to be picky because of Lu Yuanheng.
She only knew that Liu's action might offend Lu Xinran.
Lu Xinran smiled faintly and snorted: "Those girls are all of excellent family backgrounds and looks. Madam Tang should be able to find a daughter-in-law that suits her heart."
As for Lu Xinlan, there was not much to mention before she came back.
She couldn't sacrifice her closest people for Song Junyan's seizure of the throne.
Pei looked at her with a smile, feeling inexplicably moved.
This girl... is really too similar to Zhao in many ways. They are indeed mother and daughter.
Lu Jinchuan was still thinking about letting Lu Xinlan marry into the Tang family, so since Pei and Lu Xinran refused to write a letter, he wrote it himself.
However, after the letter was delivered to the border, it fell into oblivion and no reply was received.
He was very dissatisfied, but he did not dare to offend the queen. He could only grit his teeth and hesitated for a long time before writing another letter to send to the border.
There were quite a few ladies and young girls in the Tang Mansion the day before, so within two days, the scandalous incident in the inner chamber of the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion spread throughout the capital.
When Zhang Shuier heard the news, she was shocked at first, and then found it difficult to accept.
She could accept that the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion had so many people because the old uncle was still alive and the family had not been divided, but she could not accept the dirty thing that was almost like incest.
She felt uncomfortable at the thought that she would have to live in a mansion like that after getting married.
I invited Lu Xinran to the teahouse, and she asked me what to do as soon as she entered the door.
Lu Xinran was stunned by her question for a long time, and then she said speechlessly: "Shouldn't your parents and elders help you make the decision on whether to get married? And what about your feelings for Cui Wu."
Ask her what to do, but she can't make the decision for her.
"But, but they don't know either."
Naturally, her mother wanted to cancel the engagement with the Marquis's Mansion immediately, but Cui Shenglin was now at the border, perhaps already fighting with the army. If the news of the cancellation of the engagement reached the border, and he was upset and met with an accident, wouldn't it mean that their Zhang family was indebted to the Marquis's Mansion of Loyalty and Bravery?
But if they agreed to this marriage, they really couldn't accept it.
"Lu Er, you always have the most ideas. Can you help me think of a solution?"
Zhang Shuier held her wrist tightly with such force that Lu Xinran subconsciously frowned.
"Okay, let's sit down and talk first."
Pulling the person to sit at the table, Lu Xinran began to make tea with not very skillful movements.
Pushing the tea bowl in front of Zhang Shui'er, she said slowly, "If it's not convenient to cancel the engagement immediately, then find a reason to postpone the wedding date and wait for Cui Shenglin to come back and ask him about his attitude."
If the Bo family is interested in arranging this marriage, they will always come up with a solution.
If it's just an excuse to cover up, then bring up the matter of canceling the engagement again.
"But it may affect your future marriage."
"What are you talking about in the future? I'm scared now when I think about getting married."
When I was young and ignorant, I always thought that the person I wanted to marry was Song Junyan. But when I came to my senses, I realized how difficult the situation of the Queen and the Zhang family was.
I let go of that thought and finally fell in love with someone again, but it turned out that the other person's family was so shabby and horrible.
It must be her destiny that makes it difficult for her to get married, otherwise why would her marriage be so unsuccessful.
"When you reach the mountain, there will always be a way out. Don't worry, you still have your family. They will always support you and find a solution."
If the Duke of Zhongyong's Mansion is really unwilling to come up with an acceptable solution, then this marriage should be cancelled.
It's a pity that Cui Shenglin's kindness was wasted. If we ignore the scandal in Bo's house, this would have been a good marriage.
