Outside, the palace maid made a crisp sound.
Lin Yunyan stood up, tidied up her appearance and went to the main hall.
The empress dowager smiled and waved to her: "They said it was a breakup, but they looked at me a little bit."
"You're protecting me," Lin Yunyan said sweetly, "I can't wait for you to send someone to the house to reprimand me if I haven't been scolded enough in the morning, right?"
The empress dowager pulled her to sit next to her and patted her back gently: "Hun! How could the Ai family reprimand this and that so casually?"
Lin Yunyan smiled.
"Now that they have figured it out, it would be a good idea for the Ai family to be a witness to avoid making irresponsible remarks in the future," the Empress Dowager said, "then let her come into the palace."
"Your Majesty," Lin Yunyan put away her smile and said sincerely, "you said before that whether my eldest sister's marriage is ended or continued, my grandmother needs to step in. I can't do it for you. The more I think about it, the more I realize this.
Therefore, it is not up to me to talk to Mrs. Xu Guogong about breaking off the engagement, but to let my grandmother do it.
I want to go to Zhuangzi first to ask my grandmother to come down the mountain..."
When the Queen Mother heard this, she was extremely pleased: "You are right, it is exactly the truth."
Outside the gate of the West Palace, Mrs. Xu Guogong was sweating in the carriage waiting for a reply from the palace.
"The empress is willing to facilitate this matter. I will only wait for the princess to invite the old lady before recruiting you to Cining Palace..."
Mrs. Xu Guogong thanked her.
After the chambermaid left, she leaned on the pillow with a tired look on her face.
Mammy lifted up a corner of the curtain to let some air in. When she saw Lin Yunyan's car leaving the palace, she asked, "Madam, do you want to catch up?"
"How to pursue me?" Mrs. Xu Guogong said angrily, "The Empress Dowager said we would talk in Cining Palace, but I rashly chased Zhuangzi and violated her wishes. Will I be reprimanded again?"
She didn't see with her own eyes how the emperor disciplined Duke Xu in the Jinluan Palace today.
But yesterday, the chamberlain from the royal study came to the house to "deliver a message", and she listened.
There was obviously no fluctuation in the tone of voice, and the words were completely straightforward, so she repeated the words of the Holy One. But each word struck her ears, but it was more powerful than any cadence, cutting straight into her flesh like a knife.
Even the back of my neck was cold and the hairs stood on end.
The difference between the king and his ministers is the majesty of heaven.
The husband was right, if they persisted, next time it would just be a matter of a few words of reprimand.
On the other side, Lin Yunyan arrived at Zhuangzi.
Before reaching the courtyard where little Duan lives, he saw Lin Yunjing walking towards her with her skirt in hand.
In Lin Yunyan's memory, the eldest sister has always been a calm and quiet image, and has never looked so anxious.
Standing face to face, Lin Yunjing blinked her eyes and wanted to say something, but no sound came out.
In addition to her anxiety, she also had expectations, but beyond her expectations, she was also afraid that her eagerness would burden her sister.
Lin Yunyan looked at her and felt that the eldest sister was indescribably smart and interesting.
Involuntarily, she held Lin Yunjing's arm with both hands and raised the corners of her lips: "Fortunately, the mission has been fulfilled."
Lin Yunjing was surprised and happy.
Behind her, Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Chen also came over in a hurry.
Seeing the expressions on the two sisters' faces, the answer was already in front of them.
Mrs. Chen said "Oh," and held Mrs. Huang's hand: "Second sister-in-law can feel at ease now. We Yunjing don't have to marry that kind of bastard."
Huang nodded hurriedly.
Not to mention that Yun Jing didn't want to marry into Duke Xu's mansion. Even if Yun Jing was really confused and bewitched by Su Ke, she, as a mother, would have to fight hard to stop thinking about her daughter.
Yun Jing's life would be ruined if she married that kind of person.
Yun Jing said that there was always a voice in her ears and in her mind saying "cannot marry" and "Su Ke is not a good match"...
If this is not a revelation from the Buddha's words, what is it?
Mr. Huang clasped his hands together and recited several Buddhist chants.
"What does Duke Xu's mansion say now?" Mrs. Chen calmed down and asked.
"His family proposed to break off the relationship, and the Queen Mother wanted to be a witness, so I came to invite my grandmother." Lin Yunyan said.
Mrs. Chen nodded: "It would be great to have the empress as a witness."
Several people went to Xiao Duan's place together.
Lin Yunjing held Lin Yunyan's hand, whispered to her, and told her what Zhuangzi had been doing in the past few days.
"My aunts are looking at me. The Duke's wife has been here, but they haven't even come in."
"Grandma still doesn't know."
Lin Yunyan wrote them down one by one.
When the group of people entered, little Duan was listening happily to Lin Yunfang's words with squinted eyes.
"As soon as the second sister arrived, everyone went to greet her," Lin Yunfang chirped, "I was a step too late and couldn't keep up! So, I came directly to your place and waited for you!"
"You clever guy!" Ms. Chen spat, "Here, we brought the rabbit."
Rabbit Lin Yunyan stepped forward and asked Xiao Duan: "How are you living? Is it cooler here than in the house?"
"Everything is fine," Xiao Duan said with a smile, "It's just that you girl hasn't shown up for a long time, which makes me feel uneasy."
Lin Yunyan smiled lightly, and then her smile gradually faded, and she looked at Xiao Duan seriously.
Xiao Duan was shocked when she saw her expression. Seeing that Huang and others also had serious expressions on their faces, she couldn't help but restrain her smile: "What happened?"
"That Su Ke behaved inappropriately and showed his ugly face, which caused uproar in the city," Lin Yunyan said, paying attention to Xiao Duan's expression to prevent her from being too emotional. "The marriage between the eldest sister and him can no longer be concluded. The Queen Mother witnessed us Break off all ties with his family, and I will take you to the palace."
Little Duan was stunned.
She had listened to Lin Yunyan's words before and wanted to wait and see more about this marriage.
Waiting and watching until the end, there is a possibility of success, but there is also a possibility of failure. She is somewhat prepared in her heart.
Unexpectedly, the results came out so quickly.
"His family, he..." Little Duan took a deep breath, "What happened?"
"Your Majesty, I'm waiting. I'm also afraid of long nights and lots of dreams, so we'll talk on the way." Lin Yunyan said.
How could Xiao Duan let the Empress Dowager wait for a long time? After hearing this, she suppressed her doubts and called Aunt Ruan to go with her to the inner room to change clothes and comb her hair.
Taking advantage of Xiao Duan's preparation, Lin Yunyan briefly talked to Lin Yunjing and others about the actions of Xu Guogong's palace to press forward step by step.
"So shameless!" Mrs. Chen said with a fire rising in her chest, "It's so embarrassing for Yun Yan when no elders are around in the house!"
Lin Yunyan didn't care: "If grandma is here, she will be the one who is in trouble."
This is a true statement.
It doesn't matter if Chen smiles, it doesn't matter if he doesn't smile.
"My aunt also has to prepare," Lin Yunyan said hurriedly when she saw Xiao Duan coming out. "When we get the eldest sister's Geng Tie back, we will return all the wedding gifts from his family and make a clean break from now on."
Everyone sent the two people into the carriage.
On the way down the mountain, little Duan asked: "Has his family really become the chicken that kills chickens to scare monkeys?"
"Not yet," Lin Yunyan said without changing her expression when she misled her grandmother, "The scandal caused by Su Ke himself, if his family quickly behaves better, it will really save the Lord the time of choosing chickens. Don't worry, I'll take my time. Let me tell you what his family has been doing."
Little Duan was not in a hurry.
The wheel rolled across the mountain road, along the official road into the city, and rolled all the way to the palace gate.
Little Mrs. Duan put two thick pillows on her head, and the stars were still shining in front of her eyes.
Yun Yan is so dizzy driving this car!
Her old woman is too old to ride in such a car.
