He was so cruel, but he was also telling the truth. It could be said that he did not shy away from his eagerness to ask to marry her back.
Before Chu Yunli could say anything, the door was pushed open with a bang, and Mrs. Hou stood at the door with excitement on her face, "I don't agree!"
"How can you be so cruel? Apart from being bad at walking, that child is as healthy as other children. He is still young, so it doesn't mean he can't grow well." Mrs. Hou's face was full of eagerness.
The Marquis of Lin'an looked unhappy, "Why are you here?"
Mrs. Hou plausibly said, "I knew you would come to find this poisonous woman and followed you all the way."
"Who else is traveling with you?" Marquis Lin'an asked again.
"Yan Qu and Lanshan are both here." Mrs. Hou paused and added, "We are a family. You can't give up the child easily. Lanshan was already crying so hard that he almost fainted."
The corner of Chu Yunli's mouth curled up slightly. In fact, she married into the Hou Mansion. If the people in the Hou Mansion were as clear-minded as the Marquis of Lin'an and knew how to advance and retreat, her life would not be difficult. What the Hou Mansion wanted was the child she gave birth to.
They continued to seize the title on equal terms, and what Li Ru wanted was just to live a happy life with Zhou Yanqu. Speaking of which, there was no conflict between their wishes. It was a pity that Fu Lanshan was in the middle, and it was a pity that Zhou Yanqu really liked Fu Lanshan.
And Mrs. Hou insisted on supporting her niece, so it was Li Ru who suffered the tragedy.
"I want to leave the city, so let's take a step first." Chu Yunli stood up and walked out the door.
"If you want to come back, you can, but you must put the child in your name!" Mrs. Hou said firmly, "Don't pretend to be indifferent, I know you can't let go of Yan Qu, otherwise you won't
I will stand here."
Chu Yunli didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and just said, "Then I wish Madam Hou to find a noble girl who is willing to record her wife as her legitimate son as her daughter-in-law." Not to mention that Zhou Yanqu's concubines in the Hou Mansion are now full.
Five, and none of them are fuel-efficient lamps.
"The Marquis Mansion... I will never step into it again in this life." Ignoring the call from the Marquis of Lin'an behind him, Chu Yunli stepped out without looking back. When he saw Fu Lanshan's pale face at the door, he was greatly shocked.
With a distressed look, Zhou Yanqu supported her and comforted her in a low voice. When he saw her going out, he angrily said, "Are you satisfied?"
Chu Yunli sneered, "As a man, you can't even marry the woman you like, and you can't protect your children, you loser!"
Zhou Yanqu's face was grave, "What did you say? Say it again!"
Chu Yunli spread her hands, "The truth is, you are a waste, but if you have the ability, you declare in front of everyone in the capital that Fu Lanshan is the one you like the most in your heart, and she is the one you want to marry the most. Three matchmakers, six hires, and eight sedans are asking for her.
Marry her! Let the child she gives birth to inherit your title of Lin'an Marquis Mansion." These two people should stay together and love each other and never be separated for the rest of their lives.
"What do you know? What does a family's inheritance of ancestral heritage mean to you?" Zhou Yanqu said loudly.
This is tantamount to admitting that marrying her is because of the family inheritance. In the final analysis, it is still for the title. Chu Yunli sneered, "Then you are plotting against me, an orphan, that I am a real man? I won't be afraid of other people's jokes if I tell you. A man can't even own his own woman.
You can't protect me, and you still have to act in love with a woman you hate. You are not an actor. Do you really want to marry me again according to your father's wishes? "
Zhou Yanqu looked extremely ugly, and in his anger, he actually felt that what she said made sense.
When she said these words, Fu Lanshan kept crying and hugged Zhou Yanqu's waist without even raising his head.
When Chu Yunli passed by the two of them, she added, "Miss Fu, feelings are a matter between two people. You can't just push the prince away, you should also work hard to fight for it yourself."
Fu Lanshan suddenly raised his head, his eyes were red, and shouted, "What do you know? You, a girl protected by the queen, how do you understand the hardships I have had to live under someone else's roof since I was a child?"
"Nonsense!" The Marquis of Lin'an appeared at the door with a cold face, his eyes swept over Fu Lanshan's face like ice knives, "Go back, aren't you embarrassed enough?"
Then he looked at Chu Yunli and said, "What I just said can be fulfilled at any time as long as you are willing."
Chu Yunli spread her hands and said, "Thank you Lord Hou for your kindness, but I really can't bear the reputation of forcing orphans and widowed mothers to death. I also ask Lord Hou to find a virtuous and virtuous woman as my wife."
Originally, if the Marquis of Lin'an really drove away Fu Lanshan and the child in order to marry her back, Zhou Yanqu would definitely blame all these things on her. It is not worthwhile no matter how you think about it. Besides, Li Ru's wish is not
He fell in love with Zhou Yanqu, but stayed away from them.
This time Chu Yunli went to the outskirts of the city again. Apart from going to the palace every month to greet the queen, she basically never went to the city again. After a year, the silkworms she raised were able to weave into exquisite and delicate satin, and she also made
The silk quilt was light and breathable. Because the output was small, the price was almost astronomical. Many ladies even considered it beautiful to hold silk silk in their hands. Many silk satins were sold to several wealthy places in Yan State. For a time, Chu Yunli made a profit
There was a lot of money, and many ladies were willing to have a good relationship with her, just to get a piece of satin first.
In her Ci'an Yuan, more and more people are taken in, and the number of teachers is also increasing. The children she takes in, regardless of gender, must be taught by the master for two hours every day. Even the elderly can have enough food and clothing, not to mention the capital.
There were no beggars inside or outside. Even beggars from a few cities close to the capital came to Ci'an Yuan after receiving the news. The children who first learned arithmetic are now able to calculate their own accounts with good results.
And a lot of things happened during the year. The prince of Lin'an disobeyed his wife and insisted on marrying his childhood sweetheart's cousin. He also made no secret of the fact that the young master in the palace was the son of his cousin. Now, everyone knew that the prince of Lin'an was the son of his cousin.
It is false that the Crown Prince and his wife have a deep love for each other. The reason why they have no children is probably because they only have a superficial affection for each other and they are just waiting for Fu Lanshan to show their filial piety and then slowly give birth to children.
For a while, there were all kinds of things. Some said that Li Xun was pitiful. She had been carrying the reputation of being unable to have children for several years for no reason and was jealous and refused to take concubines. Fortunately, she woke up quickly and left early. It was just pity that she was alone now.
The queen offered to act as a matchmaker for her several times, but was declined. This was heartbreaking.
It is also said that the Prince of Lin'an was really a deeply affectionate person. Even if he married a wife, he would still protect his beloved like a jade.
However, the latter type is mostly circulated in brothels, and serious ladies of the house sneer at this kind of praise. It would be a lie to say that anyone did not have some charming thoughts before getting married, but after getting married, you should collect your thoughts and live a good life.
At least he must give his wife enough respect and dignity, only then can he be considered a good man.
After getting married, what kind of good person can he be if he keeps his virginity to the woman he once loved? He is a bastard. If that's the case, why not marry the woman you love?
Just when the Marquis married Fu Lanshan and gradually fell into silence, another big event happened in the capital!
The Marquis of Lin'an colluded with the barbarians. The evidence was conclusive and he was thrown into prison on the spot!
As soon as the news came out, the capital instantly became agitated, and everyone was talking about it. The tragic war between the barbarians and the Yan State ten years ago was not long ago, so many people remembered it. Unexpectedly, just how long had passed, the Marquis of Lin'an actually
The collusion started.
Many people know that a year ago, the Marquis of Lin'an was ordered to go to the barbarian border and brought back 500 horses. Because of his dishonorable methods, although the emperor did not reward him lavishly, he let the Marquis of Lin'an join the Ministry of War and became the Minister of the Ministry of War.
The meaning is obvious. You must know that before this, the emperor had deliberately suppressed the nobles in the capital. No one among the younger generation could enter the six ministries and cabinet.
The next day after the news came out, someone came from the palace and invited Chu Yunli into the palace.
The Queen was as majestic and dignified as ever, but the difference was that she was becoming more and more gentle towards Chu Yunli. She pulled her up before she knelt down and said with a smile, "I told you not to be polite."
"Have you heard about the Marquis of Lin'an?"
Chu Yunli nodded, "When I came in, I heard Grandma Li talking about it."
The queen asked someone to serve tea to her and said, "At first, you said that your grandfather told you that if the horses' feed was added with medicinal materials, they would no longer be able to breed. I mentioned this to the emperor, but I didn't expect these horses to go through a process.
Years ago, there really was no mare to be impregnated. The emperor originally thought that the barbarians were too thoughtful and tried to prevent us from buying good horses, but after a thorough investigation, we found that the one who fed the horses that fodder was the Marquis of Lin'an!
"
Chu Yunli was not surprised at all. Li Ru knew about this matter by chance in her previous life, and died of illness in obscurity. It is said that there is no airtight wall in the world, especially if the emperor wants to find out the truth, it is basically concealing it.
Unable to live.
"The barbarians knew that Yan Guo was determined to buy horses, so they did not refuse the Marquis of Lin'an to buy horses. They just asked him to add the herbal medicine to the fodder for a month, and the price was half the price. For a mere few hundred thousand taels of silver, Lin'an
Hou actually agreed and asked his followers to handle it himself just in case."
The queen sighed, "The Marquis of Lin'an is like this. It's probably because the barbarians revealed the possibility of doing business in the future, hoping to make a fortune by then."
Chu Yunli was not surprised at all. The main reason why the Lin'an Marquis Mansion asked her to marry her was that they wanted to join the ranks of the nobility, but another reason was the family wealth of the General Mansion. If they wanted to maintain the honor of the Marquis Mansion, they relied on their father and son.
It is simply impossible to earn a salary, so several generations of marquises have relied on the silver deposited in the warehouse. When they arrived at Zhou Yanqu's place, they were already secretly pawning those old objects. Although they would not be left with nothing for a while, they would still have to
Be prepared for a rainy day, Li Ru is a very suitable wife for the Crown Prince in every aspect.
"Lin'an Marquis Mansion... is over." The Queen sighed, "Don't take it too seriously."
Chu Yunli was quite surprised by the last sentence, but then he thought that nowadays women are married and obey their husbands. Even if she has divorced and has repeatedly shied away from the queen's matchmaking, many people outside probably feel that she can't let go, and the queen in front of her can't let her go.
Thinking like this, he said seriously at the moment, "Don't worry, Madam, I have a lot to do and I don't have time to worry about others."
The queen's smile deepened, "The Ci'an Yuan you have built is good. The emperor intends to build it in major cities in Yan State. You should be rewarded later."
When Chu Yunli left the palace and passed by the Lin'an Marquis' Mansion, he happened to see the middle door of the Marquis' Mansion wide open. Officers and soldiers were rushing around in an aggressive manner, probably searching the house. Zhou Yanqu was talking to the leading officers and soldiers, and behind him, Mrs. Hou, who always paid attention to her own image.
At this time, he and Fu Lanshan, who was wearing a bright red shirt, were leaning against each other and shivering, while the servants were surrounded together as uneasy as quails.
The Lin'an Marquis Mansion, which had been passed down for centuries, collapsed.
