In fact, how could Madam Shangshu not know the stakes involved? Her son is famous for being ridiculous in the capital. Which official woman is willing to marry her son? And the man in the palace sent a message, saying
If she followed her plan, it would be guaranteed that her son would successfully marry a woman from the official family. If not, he would also be able to marry the legitimate daughter of the Lan family. It was simply a good thing that killed two birds with one stone. How could she refuse? So now,
That's why this happened.
After hearing this, Mrs. Lan was very angry. It had only been two days since the marriage was proposed, and the Master of the He family showed up like this. Fortunately, the Shangshu Mansion came to cancel the engagement knowing that it was wrong. What would happen to Yu'er in the future if it was hidden from them?
Is it good?
So, Mrs. Lan snorted softly and said: "Huh, in that case, Madam Shangshu, please wait a moment and let's exchange the Geng Tie back."
With a cold face, Mrs. Lan asked her to take the Geng Tie from the young master of the He family and handed it to Mrs. Shangshu. Mrs. Shangshu still smiled and said, "I, the Shangshu, know that I am in the wrong, so I ask Mrs. Lan to bear with me. If anything happens in the future
If the Lan family is in need, Shangshufu will definitely stand by the Lan family."
Mrs. Lan nodded and didn't bother to say anything to her. Seeing that Geng Tie had been replaced, Mrs. Shangshu left the Lan Mansion with a smile.
Mr. Lan frowned, took Lan Ziyu's Geng Tie and looked at it again and again. He asked, "Madam, are you telling the truth?"
Mrs. Lan was a little angry at first, but Mr. Lan still questioned her like this, so she said angrily: "Master, you doubt me? That was what Mrs. Shangshu came to say in person, and there was also the box of things given as an apology. If you don't believe it, why not
Go to Shangshu Mansion in person and ask clearly."
Mr. Lan said: "It's not that I don't believe Madam, it's just that things happened too suddenly. Such a big change has occurred in just a few days."
"Hmph, didn't I already know that Mr. He was extremely ridiculous? Didn't he know that because of his bad reputation, no women in the capital were willing to marry him? Didn't you still push Yu'er into the fire pit? If you are the minister,
The government deliberately concealed this matter. Even if Yu'er marries Mr. He's wife in the future, won't Yu'er be overwhelmed by the wealth of the Minister of Punishment?" Mrs. Lan said angrily.
Mr. Lan knew that he was in the wrong. He hid it from his wife in the first place, because she would definitely not agree with Lan Ziyu's marriage when she found out. It was just that the Shangshu Mansion made him feel itchy. However, he did not expect that this matter would turn out like this. Yu
My son's marriage had to be put aside for now.
Mrs. Lan didn't say anything more, but went to Lan Ziyu's yard. Yu'er, who believed in her, would definitely be relieved when she heard this.
Lan Ziyu hadn't had much rest these past two days, and she was always thinking about when this matter would end in the room. Therefore, even if she leaned on the couch and half-closed her eyes, she couldn't fall asleep.
"Yu'er, mother brings good news." Mrs. Lan said with a smile after entering.
Lan Ziyu opened her eyes as soon as she heard this, stood up and looked at her mother.
"Mom, what happened?" Her heart was beating loudly, hoping it was what she thought. She was both looking forward to it and feeling anxious at the same time.
"Mrs. Shangshu came to Lan Mansion just now. She came to break off the engagement." Mrs. Lan said slowly.
"Mom, what's going on?" When Lan Ziyu heard this, she almost burst into joy. It really happened.
But why did Madam Shangshu come here to break off the engagement? She still needs her mother to answer her questions.
"Yu'er, this heir of the He family is really
It's not a good thing." Mrs. Lan explained the matter simply.
Lan Ziyu's face didn't have much expression, because she had known for a long time that this heiress of the He family was not a good person. Not only was he not a thing, he also had no brains. He was led by the nose with just a note, and the emperor almost had him crippled.
Already.
However, the marriage was called off sooner rather than later, just after she agreed to the woman's conditions. She didn't believe it if it wasn't the master. However, she felt that the master was more powerful than Emperor Yuan.
The arrival of the imperial concubine was much more terrifying. At least, until now, she didn't know who the master the woman was talking about was.
"Mom, don't be angry. Anyway, the matter has been resolved. I think the father will not easily get engaged to his daughter again. The daughter thinks that this time the father will marry Lan Zixian first." Lan Ziyu persuaded.
.
"Why did Yu'er say that?" Mrs. Lan naturally knew that Mr. Lan had some idea when Lan Zixian and the others were picked up, but she didn't know why Lan Ziyu said that. Ziyu is the legitimate daughter of the Lan family, and the legitimate daughter has not yet been born.
When it comes to marriage, is there any reason for a concubine to marry first?
"It's not like you haven't heard that when Yu'er first came to the capital, she was well cared for by the Yuan Emperor's imperial concubine. Not only did she live in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she also sent two nuns to teach Yu'er.
Later, during the Hundred Flowers Banquet, Yu'er entered the palace, and Concubine Yuan Huang personally introduced Yu'er as her niece by His Majesty's side. Originally, Yu'er would have a bright future in the future, but she did not expect Concubine Yuan Huang's sudden downfall. This is something that both my father and I have experienced.
It was unexpected. You can see how anxious my father is to marry me off.
Therefore, now that my father wants to establish a foothold in the capital, he needs more support besides climbing to the Prime Minister's Palace, and Lan Zixian is the best candidate.
Because in the eyes of her father, she is the most sensible and considerate daughter. In addition, no one in the capital knows about her relationship with the Imperial Concubine Yuan Huang, so my father will make more use of her."
"But your father shouldn't give up on you just because of this." Mrs. Lan was very dissatisfied with Master Lan's attitude.
"Mom, don't worry about Yu'er, Yu'er has her own plans." Lan Ziyu said slowly with a glint in her eyes.
"Yu'er, you..." Mrs. Lan looked at Lan Ziyu with some worry. She knew who Lan Ziyu met after running out. No matter who this person was, he would not easily agree to solve things for Ziyu. So.
, Tzuyu must have agreed to something, but she was worried that Tzuyu would do something stupid.
"Mother, Yu'er knows what she knows, so don't worry." Lan Ziyu didn't want to say more.
Mrs. Lan could tell that Ziyu didn't want to say more, so she didn't say anything more and had to leave the yard.
However, in the small courtyard next to it, there was also a conversation between mother and daughter.
"Auntie, have you heard? That Mrs. Shangshu came to Lan Mansion early this morning to break off the engagement." Lan Zixian seemed not very happy about Lan Ziyu's breakup.
"I heard, how could I not know about such a big thing? Besides, there are so many gifts in the front hall. It is said that the Shangshu Mansion is here to apologize." Aunt Zhi said slowly.
"Oh, the good legitimate son of the He family is really disappointing. It would be great if we could endure it for a while and marry Lan Ziyu back." Lan Zixian said disappointedly. In the past few days, since her father arranged the marriage for Lan Ziyu, she
I asked some people to find out. It turned out that the legitimate son of the He family was so famous in the capital, but he was so ridiculous and romantic that he actually had eight concubines in the house.
If Lan Ziyu can marry her, then she will lose one of her biggest competitors. However, God's calculations are not as good as those of people. At this juncture, the legitimate son of the He family made another absurd move, and this time he actually tricked the Ministry of Punishment.
The second young lady of the Shangshu family. The bustling capital city really opened her eyes.
"That's because the legitimate son of the He family has failed to live up to expectations. Anyway, Xian'er has been performing well recently. I see what your father means and let Lan Ziyu's matter go. So, you have to seize the opportunity." Aunt Zhi said instructing her.
"Yes, Xian'er knows what she should do, just don't worry, Auntie." Lan Zixian said softly.
While the mother and daughter were talking, Mr. Lan entered the yard.
He really couldn't bear to see Mrs. Lan's angry face towards him, and he didn't want to see Lan Ziyu, so he came to Aunt Zhi's yard.
"Master." "Father."
When Mr. Lan saw Aunt Zhi's lowered eyebrows, the more he looked at her, the more he liked her. Looking at the well-behaved Lan Zixian, he felt that the daughter in front of him was sensible.
So he asked: "What are you, mother and daughter, whispering about?"
Lan Zixian didn't say anything. Aunt Zhi smiled and said, "Sir, the second lady said that the capital is really lively. Although she hasn't gone out for a walk yet, she felt it on the way to the capital."
"Xian'er is sensible. She hasn't left the room for so many days. It's really hard for her." Mr. Lan looked at Lan Zixian and said.
"Father, Xian'er doesn't feel embarrassed. Xian'er originally wanted to go out and watch the excitement, but seeing that her father was busy, her mother fell ill again. Therefore, Xian'er thought she had plenty of time, so she didn't dare to disturb her father and mother." Lan
Zixian said obediently.
These words made Mr. Lan very happy. This daughter is the most sensible in the Lan family. Why didn't they bring her into the capital as their legitimate daughter? If Yu'er was half as sensible as Xian'er, she wouldn't be like this.
"Xian'er, your mother has just recovered. There is nothing we can do if she suddenly falls ill. Fortunately, Yu'er has returned home. You are not familiar with the capital, so why not let Yu'er take you around tomorrow?"
Mr. Lan said with a smile.
"Really? Father, are you telling the truth? Let eldest sister take me out? However, eldest sister's marriage was just canceled this morning. Will anyone go out..." Talking about gossip. In fact, she didn't want to at all.
Shopping with Lan Ziyu, Lan Ziyu's face is very annoying. With Lan Ziyu next to her, who would notice her?
"Second Miss, please stop talking." Aunt Zhi said, pretending to be scared.
Mr. Lan sighed, and then said: "It doesn't matter, what Xian'er said is right. Let's do this. You should be more careful when you take your servants out tomorrow."
"Yes, father, Xian'er must go out with eldest sister if there is a chance in the future." Lan Zixian said with great regret.
"Xian'er is good." Mr. Lan said with pity.
Lan Zixian raised his head and looked at Mr. Lan and said, "My father has something to do with my aunt, so Xian'er will go to the yard first."
After Lan Zixian finished talking about blessing his body, he left the yard.
"Zhi'er, I didn't expect you to teach Xian'er to be so sensible. If Yu'er was like Xian'er, I wouldn't have to worry so much." Master Lan said with a smile.
"Sir, the eldest lady is also very good, but she is just short-tempered. Maybe she will get better in a few years." Aunt Zhi said softly.
