Chapter 41
Zhao Mansion
After Xie Zhan sent the person to Zhao's house, he left and declined Zhao Wenkuan's invitation.
Zhao Yutan went out standing upright and came back sideways, which shocked everyone in the Zhao family who had been waiting for good news. There was something wrong with Zhao Yutan's situation at first sight. Zhao Wenkuan, Luo Shi, Zhao Bin and others were all waiting for her to wake up in her yard, and she lived up to expectations and woke up not long after returning to Zhao Mansion.
Zhao Yutan recounted roughly what happened in Changle Palace with tears in his eyes.
It turns out that there is such a secret about the marriage between the Xie and Lu families.
Only then did the Zhao family understand why Lu Desheng reacted so violently to the change in the marriage.
He was willing to be killed and dared to pull the emperor off his horse. Zhao Wenkuan didn't expect that a little girl like Lu Songli would be so generous. One move blocked all their moves. The Zhao family didn't understand it, so why didn't the Xie family warn them? He stood with the Xie family and thought for a while, and realized that it was best not to mention this matter. The Xie family probably did not expect that Lu Songli would reveal his scars in front of the Queen Mother.
At first, Luo Shi didn't believe it, "Tan'er, are you right? We've all seen Lu Songli before, and he doesn't look so bold."
When Zhao Yutan heard this, she was about to burst into tears, "Mom, what my daughter said is absolutely true. She spoke so sharply that my daughter couldn't stand it and wished she could hang herself on the spot." Then she recounted what Lu Songli said one by one. .
Hearing this, Luo Shi's expression turned ugly, "Why does Lu Songli speak so unpleasantly? This mouth looks so much like her father's, poisonous!"
After all, Zhao Wenkuan has been in officialdom for a long time and thinks more deeply. After listening to it from beginning to end, he felt that this woman was very cunning.
Is Lu Songli dissatisfied with the Queen Mother? There must be, it can be analyzed from her first two sentences. But after the first two sentences, do you think any of her subsequent sentences are directed at the Queen Mother? The Queen Mother did not say anything wrong during the whole process, but she chased and chased the girl from the Zhao family, shouting and killing her. This insinuation was really powerful.
"If I had known she was a white-eyed wolf, you shouldn't have played with her in the first place."
Second Sister-in-law Zhao rolled her eyes, you have already started to steal someone else's husband, why do you have the nerve to call someone venomous?
Zhao's second sister-in-law, Qian, is the person in the Zhao family who is most opposed to Zhao Yutan changing her fiancé. She feels that the Qin family and Qin Sheng are not bad. Of course, the Xie family and Xie Zhan are also very good. They are just equal in talent and military skills. They are two equally matched sons. , what's the point of changing?
"That's enough, what's the use of saying this!" Zhao Wenkuan was very upset.
For this marriage, there were so many plans, so thorough, and the Zhao family invested a lot in it. They thought they could wait for good news tonight, but they didn't expect that unexpected things would happen in the end. Is it really because God forbids them from the Zhao family? Zhao Wenkuan felt unspeakable disappointment in his heart. Isn't it just a marriage? Why is it so difficult?
"Tomorrow, let someone privately explore the Queen Mother's tone. It's neither good nor bad. It's too uncomfortable." Zhao Bin said.
"Well." Zhao Wenkuan was full of depression, Queen Mother, what's so urgent about you that you have to leave at that time? Can't we wait until his daughter and Xie Zhan are given a marriage before doing it?
"Daughter, please don't cry. Her self-inflicted scars are really powerful now. When the limelight passes, she will break off her engagement with the Xie family and see who else is willing to marry her!" Luo Shi never doubted his daughter. The fact that my daughter was able to marry Xie Zhan was approved by a master. The process was a bit tortuous, but the result was definitely a good one.
Long hair means short knowledge! Hearing this, Zhao Wenkuan and Zhao Bin, father and son, looked at each other. If the Zhao family and the Xie family could really get married, they should find Lu Songli a husband who looked good on the surface. What to say on the inside, it was best to be from out of town. Once she gets married, the waves she caused will naturally dissipate over time.
Xie Mansion
Zhao Wenkuan's guess was correct. The Xie family did not expect Lu Songli to be so brave and dare to expose his shortcomings in front of the Queen Mother.
At this time, after listening to his son's complete account of what happened in Changle Palace, Xie Mingtang was surprised, "How dare Lu Songli have such a conspiracy?"
He had disliked Lu Songli before. One of the reasons was that the Lu family had little support, the other was because of her infertility, and the third was because of her timid and cowardly temperament. She was not worthy of the position of head mother of the Xie family. It was a pity that the Queen Mother left in the end, otherwise he would have really wanted to see what Lu Songli would do next.
Suddenly, Xie Mingtang felt a little regretful in his heart. His previous decision was too hasty and he should wait and see.
He then comforted himself that there would be no outstanding performance. In fact, Zhao Yutan is not bad either. He has a good sense of timing, dares to give, and dares to fight...
Lu Songli's performance is said to be outstanding, but in fact it is just a self-exposed scar, which can only be described as lonely and courageous.
Xie Zhan was not surprised that the Lu family would reveal this secret. But in his estimation, after the Queen Mother granted him and Zhao Yutan a marriage, Lu Desheng and his wife came to the Xie family to argue with them in extreme anger, and were dissatisfied with the compensation from the Xie family. Only then will it be exposed.
The Lu family wanted to keep this secret, and the Xie family wanted to keep the fact that Lu Songli was too cold to have children after saving him back then.
The Lu family had been restrained by themselves before, but now that they had broken free, they had to worry about other people. Look, aren't the Xie family very passive now?
"General Lu Songli, if our Xie Lu family's marriage fails, our Xie family must be prepared for a big bloodshed." Xie Mingtang sighed slightly, things turned from dark to bright, after tonight, no matter I know how many eyes are staring at the Xie family to see how they handle this matter.
Xie Mingtang suddenly felt that if the marriage between Xie and Lu's family remained unchanged, it would not be so difficult to accept.
Xie Zhan ignored his father's regret. His mind was still on the scene where the Queen Mother hurried to Yuqian Palace. Needless to say, something very important to the Queen Mother must have happened at that time. And tonight, the person accompanying him at Yuqian Palace was none other than Lu Desheng. Is there any connection between the two?
If Lu Songli were here, he would have to admire Xie Zhan's keenness.
Pingxihou Mansion
Mrs. Qin, who was in poor health, held on without rest, waiting for her youngest son to return from the palace. Qin Heng and Qin Sanlang both accompanied her.
As soon as Qin Sheng got home, his mother, eldest brother, and third brother all stared at him, "How was it?"
Although they didn't say it explicitly about the Empress Dowager's summons, they all had a clear understanding in their hearts.
The servant poured him a bowl of moderately hot and cold water, and Qin Sheng drank it in a few sips. This thirst has been quenched, but this water with heat is not as good as cold water. It is cool and feels good in the stomach after drinking it.
Mrs. Qin wouldn't let him drink cold water. She knew that he was young, strong and liked to drink cold water, but it was not good for his health. Mrs. Qin has been ill for a long time and has become a doctor. She knows a little bit about health preservation. She couldn't care less if he wasn't in front of her, but if he was in front of her, he had to drink something warm.
"Nothing happened."
"How could it be? Please tell me carefully what happened in Changle Palace." This result was beyond their expectations. The Empress Dowager summoned her, obviously because of the engagement between the Lu and Xie families.
Qin Sheng briefly described what happened, and the entire process took less than three minutes: The Queen Mother wanted to marry Xie Zhan and Zhao Yutan, but Lu Songli noticed it and revealed that she had injured her body to save Xie Zhan and was unable to have children. The Queen Mother did not have time to force her decision. , I was distracted by something that happened in Yuqian Palace, and I couldn't care about the original plan.
Qin Sanlang rolled his eyes at his sixth brother. He knew immediately that the whole scene was very exciting, but he only summarized it in a few sentences. It was so dry that he wasted half a night waiting!
Qin Sheng felt that there was nothing wrong with his narrative and that he had said everything he needed to say.
"I didn't expect that there would be such a secret in the marriage contract between Xie and Lu's family." Mrs. Qin sighed.
Qin Sheng said nothing, and for a while, Mrs. Qin, Qin Heng, Qin Sanlang and others couldn't say anything. Mrs. Qin couldn't bring her son and the second girl of the Lu family together anymore. It's not that she doesn't mind that she can't have children, it's just that when it comes to heirs, it's up to Qin Sheng himself to make the decision, and they shouldn't overstep his authority.
At this moment, they couldn't tell what he was thinking.
It was late at night, everyone sat for a while and then dispersed.
What happened in Yugan Palace? When going back, Qin Sanlang thought with interest.
