Chapter 41 Three Prefectures’ Reactions
Chapter 41
Zhao Mansion
After Xie Zhan sent the people to Zhao Mansion, he left and declined Zhao Wenkuan's invitation.
Zhao Yutan went out vertically and came back horizontally, which shocked everyone in Zhao Mansion who had been waiting for good news. Zhao Yutan's situation was not right at first glance. Zhao Wenkuan, Luo Shi, Zhao Bin and others were waiting for her to wake up in her yard, and she lived up to everyone's expectations. After returning to Zhao Mansion, she woke up not long after.
Zhao Yutan recounted what happened in Changle Palace with tears in her eyes.
So that's how it is. There is such a hidden story in the marriage between the Xie and Lu families.
The Zhao family finally understood why Lu Desheng reacted so strongly to the change in this marriage.
She was willing to sacrifice her life and dared to pull the emperor down. Zhao Wenkuan didn't expect that Lu Songli, a little girl, would be so bold. With one move, she blocked all their tricks. They, the Zhao family, didn't understand, so why didn't the Xie family remind them to be on guard? He thought about it from the side of the Xie family, and realized that it was better not to mention this matter. It is estimated that the Xie family did not expect that Lu Songli would expose her scars in front of the Queen Mother.
At first, Luo Shi did not believe it, "Tan Er, are you sure? We have all seen Lu Songli, and she is not so bold."
Zhao Yutan was about to cry when she heard this, "Mother, what my daughter said is absolutely true. She spoke too sharply, and my daughter could not bear it. She wanted to hang herself on the spot." Then she told Lu Songli what she said one by one.
Hearing this, Luo Shi's face was very ugly, "Why is Lu Songli so unpleasant? This mouth is very much like her father, poisonous!"
Zhao Wenkuan has been in the officialdom for a long time and thinks more deeply. He listened from beginning to end and felt that this woman was very treacherous.
Is Lu Songli dissatisfied with the Queen Mother? Of course, she is, as can be analyzed from her first two sentences. But after the first two sentences, which of her sentences are directed at the Queen Mother? He didn't say a word against the Empress Dowager, but he chased after the girl from the Zhao family and shouted for her to be killed. This insinuation was really powerful.
"If I had known she was an ungrateful person, you shouldn't have taken her to play."
Zhao Ersao rolled her eyes. You guys have already taken action to snatch someone's husband, and you still have the nerve to say that someone is vicious?
Zhao Ersao Qian was the one in the Zhao family who was most opposed to Zhao Yutan changing her fiancé. She felt that the Qin family and Qin Sheng were not bad. Of course, the Xie family and Xie Zhan were also very good, but one was a literary and the other was a martial artist. There was no point in changing two equally matched men.
"Enough, what's the point of saying all this!" Zhao Wenkuan was very upset.
For this marriage, they planned so much and so carefully. Their Zhao family had invested a lot. They thought they could wait for good news tonight, but they didn't expect that accidents would happen frequently in the end. Is it really that God didn't give them the Zhao family? Zhao Wenkuan felt an indescribable disappointment in his heart. Isn't it just a marriage? Why is it so difficult?
"Let's do it tomorrow. Let someone privately test the Queen Mother's attitude. It's too uncomfortable to be neither here nor there." Zhao Bin said.
"Yeah." Zhao Wenkuan was full of depression. Queen Mother, what urgent matter did you have to leave at that time? Can't you wait until his daughter and Xie Zhan are granted marriage before doing it?
"Daughter, don't cry. It seems that she is really good at exposing her own scars. When the storm is over, she will cancel the engagement with the Xie family. Let's see which family is willing to marry her!" Luo never doubted that her daughter could marry Xie Zhan. The master had predicted her daughter's fate. The process was a little tortuous, but the result was definitely a good one.
Long hair but short knowledge! Zhao Wenkuan and Zhao Bin, father and son, looked at each other after hearing this. If their Zhao family and Xie family could really get married, they should find a husband's family that was decent on the surface for Lu Songli. What was going on inside was another matter. It would be best if it was from another place. Once she got married, the waves she caused would naturally dissipate slowly over time.
Xie Mansion
Zhao Wenkuan guessed correctly. The Xie family did not expect Lv Songli to be so brave and dare to expose her shortcomings in front of the Queen Mother.
At this time, Xie Mingtang was very surprised after listening to his son's complete account of what happened in Changle Palace, "Lv Songli is so brave?"
He disliked Lv Songli before. The Lv family had little help, and she was infertile. Then her timid and cowardly nature was the third. She was not worthy of the position of the mistress of the Xie family. It was a pity that the Queen Mother left in the end, otherwise he really wanted to see what kind of performance Lv Songli would have next.
Suddenly, Xie Mingtang felt a little regretful in his heart. The previous decision was too hasty, and he should have waited and watched.
He then comforted himself that there should be no outstanding performance. In fact, Zhao Yutan was not bad. He had a good grasp of the opportunity, dared to give, and dared to fight...
Lv Songli's performance was said to be outstanding, but in fact it was just exposing her own scars. It can only be said to be lonely and brave.
Xie Zhan was not surprised that the Lv family would reveal this secret. However, in his estimation, this matter would be exposed only after the Queen Mother granted him and Zhao Yutan a marriage, when Lv Desheng and his wife came to the Xie family to argue in extreme anger, and then they would be dissatisfied with the compensation of the Xie family.
The Lv family wanted to keep the secret that Lv Songli saved him and became infertile due to cold body, and the Xie family was the same.
Before, the Lv family was bound by themselves, but now that they have broken free, they should worry about other people. Look, isn't the Xie family very passive now?
"With Lu Songli's trick, if the marriage between the Xie and Lu families fails, our Xie family must be prepared to bleed heavily." Xie Mingtang sighed slightly. Things turned from dark to light. After tonight, I don't know how many eyes are staring at their Xie family to see how they deal with this matter.
Xie Mingtang suddenly felt that if the marriage between the Xie and Lu families did not change, it would not be so difficult to accept.
Xie Zhan ignored his father's regret, and his mind was still on the scene where the Queen Mother hurried to Yugan Palace. Needless to say, something very important must have happened to the Queen Mother at that time. And tonight, the person accompanying the emperor in Yugan Palace was none other than Lu Desheng. Is there any connection between the two?
If Lu Songli was here, he would have to sigh at Xie Zhan's sharpness.
Pingxi Marquis's Mansion
Madam Qin, who was in poor health, insisted on not resting and waited for her youngest son to return from the palace. Qin Heng and Qin Sanlang both accompanied her.
As soon as Qin Sheng returned home, his mother, eldest brother, and third brother stared at him, "How is it?"
Although they didn't say it explicitly, they all understood the Queen Mother's summons.
The servant poured him a bowl of water of moderate temperature, and Qin Sheng took it and drank it in a few gulps. This thirst was quenched, but this hot water was not as good as cold water, which was cool and comfortable to drink.
Mrs. Qin didn't let him drink cold water. She knew that he was young and strong, and liked to drink cold water, but it was not good for his health. Mrs. Qin became a doctor after a long illness and knew a little bit of health preservation. She couldn't control it when he was not in front of her, but in front of her, he had to drink warm water.
"Nothing happened."
"How could it be? Tell me in detail what happened in Changle Palace." This result was too unexpected for them. The Queen Mother summoned him, obviously for the marriage contract between the Lu and Xie families.
Qin Sheng simply recounted the whole process in less than three minutes: the Queen Mother wanted to grant a marriage between Xie Zhan and Zhao Yutan, but Lu Songli noticed it and revealed that she had injured her body in order to save Xie Zhan, which made her unable to have children. The Queen Mother had no time to make a decision, and was distracted by something that happened in Yugan Palace, and she didn't care about the original plan.
Qin Sanlang rolled his eyes at his sixth brother. He knew that the whole scene was very exciting, but he only used a few words to summarize it, which was dry and was a waste of his waiting for half a night!
Qin Sheng felt that his narration was fine and he had said everything he should say.
"I didn't expect that there would be such a hidden secret in the marriage contract between the Xie and Lu families." Madam Qin sighed.
Qin Sheng didn't say anything. For a while, Madam Qin, Qin Heng, Qin Sanlang and others didn't know what to say. Madam Qin couldn't put her son together with the second girl of the Lu family. She didn't mind that she couldn't have children, but the matter of offspring was related to future generations, and it should be decided by Qin Sheng himself, and they couldn't interfere.
At this moment, they couldn't tell what he was thinking.
It was late at night, and everyone sat for a while before leaving.
What happened in Yugan Palace? Qin Sanlang thought with interest as he went back.
