Chapter 214 Sister, is he stupid?
Chapter 214 Sister, is he stupid?
When Qi left, Lu Xinran's words were still lingering in her mind: Liu's waist and legs were sore every day, and the thought of being eaten by that guy at night made her feel sweet and headache...
What on earth did she eat today?
But she had to admit that what she heard was so bizarre that it diluted some of her anger and sorrow.
As she got on the carriage heading back home, her heart gradually calmed down.
Can't divorce!
It wasn't her who did anything wrong, why should she get a divorce!
If she left the Fan family to make Fan Tian happy, how would her children and grandchildren cope with the future?
And there was that bitch who had been fighting with her all her life. No matter what she said, she couldn't just let that guy go.
Pei was right. She had to keep her body healthy and outlast that scumbag Fan Tian.
When he dies, she will get back everything he owes her in this life!
When she returned home, she was able to suppress her anger and deal with the follow-up calmly.
After Zhao drove her son away, she hurried to Pei's room.
When Pei saw her excited look, she guessed why she came here.
"Mother, I will never marry Xinlan to the Tang family. Even if Liu begs me on her knees, I will not agree."
Pei sighed, knowing that this guy would always say things like this.
"Then do you have a family in mind that is suitable for Xinlan? Just like what the second girl asked for, the family background is clean and simple, the parents-in-law are not harsh, and the young man is also clear-headed and does not want to take a concubine to embarrass his wife.
“If you can find a family like this, I don’t care which family Xinlan marries into.
"As long as her husband's family treats her well and is willing to pamper her, that would be the girl's blessing."
Zhao was stunned by what Pei said. Finding a family like this?
Where could she find one? Her distant relatives and friends all had maids who would be made concubines after they got married.
She was still feeling unwilling, "But the Tang family went back on their word. They had clearly said that they would arrange marriages for the two children after they were done with the mourning period, but Liu ended up looking everywhere!"
What’s even more infuriating is that he found a husband for Tang Wanrou who was the eldest son of a Duke’s family.
It would be fine if Zhang Xinji was inferior to her Yuan Heng in every way, but she could still feel jealous in her heart.
Now, she was really angry.
Pei smiled at her soothingly, "There's no rush for this. The Tang family just had an initial thought. If they fall in love with another girl, we'll just be being sentimental if we think too much."
"No girl from another family can compare to our Xinlan!"
She knows that she has a bad temper and is stupid!
But her Xinlan grew up with Pei, she was intelligent and good-looking, and she was worthy of being matched with the prince. But it would be too high for her to be matched with Tang Chongli!
Seeing that she had gotten into another difficult issue, Pei added with a smile.
"So let's not rush. Let's see what's going on at the Tang family. You're not dissatisfied with that family anyway. Let's look around and find a good family for Xinran."
"But……"
In the end, Zhao left with a conflicted look on her face.
She was unwilling to promise Lu Xinlan to Tang Chongli, and she could not accept that Liu looked down on Lu Xinlan and focused her attention on other families.
Tang Chongli hasn't even graduated from high school and doesn't even have any academic title. Why does he look down on her precious daughter?
As soon as Zhao left, Nanny Xu immediately stepped forward and rubbed Pei's shoulders while speaking with a smile.
"Madam, you are really good at this."
But just a few words shifted Zhao's attention from wanting to embarrass Liu to fighting to the death if Liu didn't come to propose marriage.
Pei smiled and sighed: "My daughter-in-law, ah, has a good heart, but she is too stupid."
When I get emotional, I tend to get stuck in a rut.
She and Lu Xinran have been at odds with each other as mother and daughter until now. When they get together, they are like fighting cocks because of her impulsive and ungrateful nature.
Fortunately, Xinran never bothered with her. As long as she didn't cause trouble, she would treat her biological mother as if she didn't exist.
Madam Xu also thought of Lu Xinran's attitude towards Zhao: "The second young lady's days in the mansion are numbered, she and the first lady... this is also good."
"Yes, it's good."
What can I do if it’s not good?
That girl is also stubborn.
So let it be, she is old and can't control too much.
If he forced a reconciliation and caused dissatisfaction from both of them, it would only bring trouble to himself.
In the following days, Lu Xinran was waiting for the final outcome of the case.
She could learn from Lu Jinchuan's pamphlet that the emperor had never interfered in this matter.
If the emperor does not intervene, the decision-making power of this case will be in Song Junyan's hands.
If it was an ordinary citizen, this case would be easy to solve, but Peng Ruide was born in a baron's family. If someone puts pressure on him, there is no telling how this case will turn out.
She was curious and wanted to know how he would respond if Uncle Rong put pressure on him.
This case has become known to the entire court, and there must be quite a few people waiting for his reaction.
She didn't have to wait too long. On February 23, the news that Fan Ling and Peng Ruide were sentenced to execution reached the Lu Mansion.
Lu Xinran also saw the life value calculation from the system. Three months was neither too much nor too little.
After all, compared with the case of the Sun family where nine generations of the family were executed, this is nothing.
This result alone caused quite a stir in the court. He did not give Uncle Rong any face at all. Everyone heard that Uncle Rong's begging the emperor but he was unable to change the verdict.
"Sister, is he stupid?"
What good would it do him to offend these court officials?
Does he really not want to be emperor?
But if he doesn't become the emperor, can he guarantee that after someone else ascends the throne, he will be able to live a safe and easy life as a prince?
Lu Xinlan met her puzzled look and just smiled and said, "You can ask him next time you meet."
Now that the man has finished the case, he should be able to find time to meet her in private, right?
Lu Xinran obviously misunderstood and glanced at her strangely: "Ask him in person if he's stupid?"
That man is a prince, and will be the big boss in the future. Is she crazy?
Lu Xinlan was amused by her and raised his hand to pinch her chubby cheek.
"Of course, I want to ask him if he really doesn't want to be the emperor, and why he dares to confront the court officials and not leave room for himself."
If he doesn't have a reasonable explanation and arrangement, then she will consider taking this girl and escaping the marriage.
Living in the mountains and forests is much better than losing your life in the future.
Lu Xinran pursed her lips, thinking that she had already read the Tang family's booklet, she no longer needed to put their booklet in the system to take up space, so she wanted to go to a place where Song Jun passed by or appeared at the banquet.
Why ask? She could just take a good look at his booklet herself!
