Chapter 243: I just think you still have some value
It was not until Lu Xinran returned to the Lu Mansion that she remembered that she had forgotten to ask Song Junhua about their marriage which was postponed to two years later.
However, this is not a private matter. If you forget to ask Zhang Shuier, just ask Pei directly.
When Pei heard her ask about the third prince, a meaningful look flashed across her eyes.
"The King of Jin's wedding is scheduled for the end of November, so it won't affect your wedding with the King of Wei."
"Late November?"
Lu Xinran was surprised. Concubine Hua passed away. Didn’t Song Junhua need to observe mourning for her?
Hearing her doubts, Pei smiled meaningfully: "No matter how respectable Concubine Hua was when she was alive, she was not the queen, so Prince Jin could not call her mother.
"To be honest, she is no different from an ordinary concubine. The fact that the Prince of Jin has been guarding her for a year is already a great act of filial piety.
"Moreover, the wedding date was chosen by His Majesty himself and was changed directly to November 16th."
Lu Xinran wanted to praise the emperor in her heart. This emperor was really not afraid that his son would rebel in the future!
Wouldn't this move make the knot in Song Junhua's heart even bigger?
If she were Song Junhua, she would definitely fight like crazy for the throne, and then posthumously confer upon her biological mother everything that she failed to obtain during her lifetime.
When Pei heard her mumbling like this, she said casually, "So the court will probably be in chaos for a while."
"This is not a chaotic period..."
I guess there won't be peace until the emperor dies.
Pei wanted to ask Song Junyan what was in his mind, whether he wanted to fight or something under such circumstances.
But seeing his granddaughter's thoughtful look, the doubt remained in his heart.
It's safer to be a little confused about some things.
She is just an old woman who is about to be buried, so it is better not to worry about her so much.
On the small road, Lu Jinchuan, who heard the intermittent voice of his heart, felt as if a cat was scratching his heart.
This damn old woman!
She should ask what the King of Wei was planning.
Their Lu family has been tied to the King of Wei by the Emperor, so he has to make plans early.
The more he didn't hear what he wanted to know, the more annoyed he became. He blocked Lu Xinran's way back to the yard and prepared to take him to the study to ask him questions in detail.
As a result, Pei became interested when she heard her talk about Gu Zixuan.
The Lu Xintong sisters who happened to come over were also very excited and lively. If they had dinner, they would have served it directly in Pei's room.
It was already dark when Lu Xinran came out of Pei's room. Lu Jinchuan was tired and hungry, and he was not in a good mood when he saw her.
"Come to the study with me."
After saying this, he turned around and walked quickly towards the front yard.
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would lose control of his temper.
Lu Xinran didn't expect to meet him here, and she didn't expect that he had been waiting for her here for two hours!
Isn't he hungry?
She was answered by a gurgling sound on the wind.
Lu Jinchuan wanted to dig out the map of the Great Chu with his toes. He gritted his teeth and walked to the study and told the servant to bring dinner as soon as possible.
"Sit down, Grandfather will ask you a few questions."
He acted like an elder and raised his hand to indicate the position of subordinate.
Lu Xinran sat down leisurely and looked around the room.
[This study room...which aunt liked to come here the most before? ]
[She also liked to hook her fingers on his palms when he was reading or writing memorials, and then call him Master in a sweet voice.]
Lu Jinchuan: “?!!”
How can a lady from a noble family always pay attention to these things!
How could she please the King of Wei like this? !
He felt a burning sensation under his ears, and he glared and coughed hard, "Did your elder sister really volunteer to stay at Hanyu Pass?"
"Yes, the eldest sister wants to stay and take care of the queen."
[What else? If she doesn't want to come back, can I still tie her back? ]
[Besides, what's the point of coming back? Looking at this old scumbag's face makes me sick. ]
Two voices came into Lu Jinchuan's ears at the same time, and the three words "old scumbag" made him want to scold!
He took a deep breath, forced himself to ignore the disrespectful voice in his heart, and said again: "Write a letter to ask her to come back. The wife of Lord Tang, the Dali Temple Minister, has a good impression of her and wants to ask for your eldest sister to marry her eldest son.
"Besides, as the younger sister, it would be against etiquette for you to get married when your elder sister is still unmarried."
Lu Xinran blinked: "Grandfather has ordered that my elder sister will return to Beijing immediately. Just write a letter to her."
[If he really thought this was a good thing, why didn't he write the letter himself? ]
[Yesterday I asked my grandmother to write a letter, and today I am being arrogant again.]
[Although he won't be able to hold the position of Minister of Justice for long, isn't it too obvious that he wants to curry favor with Tang Quyan? ]
[Doesn't he feel ashamed doing this? ]
Lu Jinchuan closed his eyes and tried not to hear anything. He didn’t hear anything just now!
"I'll ask Jiuan to go to your courtyard to pick up the letter tomorrow. You can write to her when you get back."
"Grandfather, please write it yourself. I don't know how to write this letter."
He forced her, and Lu Xinran was too lazy to be tactful and polite.
"If Grandfather feels that it is not appropriate for me to stay in the Lu Mansion, I can leave now, and the food and clothing I have been eating and drinking in the mansion during this period will also be returned."
"It's just a letter."
Lu Jinchuan glared at her, he had lost his patience with her ignorance.
Lu Xinran spread her hands: "Indeed, it's just a letter, so why can't you write it yourself? Are you afraid of offending the queen or afraid of being criticized?"
"I'm afraid?"
Lu Jinchuan was so angry that he laughed: "I just think you still have some value!"
"Oh, then just don't look at it."
Lu Xinran acted like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, making every word of Lu Jinchuan seem like a punch hitting cotton.
He took another deep breath, "Okay, very good, you eat from my Lu family and use my Lu family's things, but your heart is not from my Lu family!"
"So you're going to kick me out of the house?"
Lu Jinchuan: “…”
If he could not afford to lose face and had the imperial decree granting the marriage, he would have definitely taught this ignorant girl a lesson.
"You don't dare. You still have shame. I know that."
Lu Xinran stood up slowly and said, "After all, I am going to marry the King of Wei. No matter how much you look down on me, I can't do anything but grit my teeth and accept it.
"You have been an official for too long, and you always think that everyone should bow and scrape to you and do what you want.
"But I found it halfway. The Lu family never raised me, so it's normal that my heart is not here.
"Besides, I lost my life in this mansion."
"Nonsense!"
Lu Jinchuan slammed the table angrily: "What do you mean by losing a life! If you were not a girl from the Lu family, do you think you could catch the eye of His Majesty and be appointed to the King of Wei?"
"Then go and tell His Majesty to change his daughter-in-law. I don't care."
Lu Xinran met his raging anger with an attitude that was extremely annoying.
"Okay, let's just talk. It's obvious that we don't like each other, so let's not talk about those nonsense.
"I am a person who is soft-hearted and does not respond to harsh words. If you talk to me nicely and give me some benefits, such as farms and shops, I will definitely be able to negotiate everything.
"Tell me, is there anything else? If not, I'll go back. After all, this study room... Tsk."
She glanced around with disdain, and her eyes finally fell on the soft couch in the inner room.
Even though Lu Jinchuan was old, his face was still red.
If he had known that such a guy would come back to the mansion in the future, he would definitely not let his concubines and maids enter the study!
