Chapter 60
"It's true that the prince is just a cousin, and he can't let go of it. The old lady already has that intention, so what if he just nodded and was executed cruelly?"
Zhuqing was indignant.
She felt worthless for Lin Yunwan, so she took the initiative to sit on the embroidered pier and asked: "Madam, do you want me to go and clarify things with the prince?"
Lin Yunwan said: "What do you want to make clear?"
Zhuqing said: "If the prince knew that keeping this concubine would not only hurt the reputation of the house and the relationship between relatives, but also hurt your heart, he would definitely cut through the mess quickly..."
Lin Yunwan smiled: "Zhu Qing."
"lady?"
Zhuqing didn't understand why Madam interrupted her. Was she wrong?
Lin Yunwan smiled.
She never expected that the old lady and Lu Zhengliu would really execute Ge Baoer.
When Brother Qing is around, they will definitely take action.
What's more, the cancellation of debts after death is just the lightest consequence of doing evil!
"It is too easy to let a person die. To let him destroy himself would be worse than death."
Zhuqing smiled, yes.
"When my cousin becomes a concubine, won't she be allowed to be made round and flat by you?"
Lin Yunwan smiled but said nothing.
The next day, the old lady called her over. She called Zhu Qing as well, and specifically said to Zhu Qing, "Didn't you also say that you were going to take care of the old lady?"
Zhu Qing thought for a while and said, "I will go with my wife right now."
When we arrived at Yu Shoutang, Lu Jia was also there.
Apparently, her confinement is over?
But even if it is not over, Mrs. Xia, who values women's ethics so much, will not allow Lu Jia to come over to take care of Mrs. Lu when she is sick. That would be unfilial.
"Great aunt."
Lin Yunwan and Zhu Qing saw Lu Jia first when they entered. They greeted her first and then went to pay their respects to the old lady.
Lu Jia sat next to the old lady, holding a medicine bowl in her hand and candied plums next to her.
The old lady was afraid of hardship, so she kept the plums to moisten her mouth and tongue.
Perhaps because she was grounded by her husband's family at her parents' home, her arrogance had subsided, so Lu Jia was not in a hurry to speak.
Mrs. Lu spoke first: "Yun Wan, after thinking about it, I decided to let Bao'er and her husband's family break off the engagement first..."
Lin Yunwan said nothing and listened quietly. Zhu Qing was watching their expressions all the time.
In the end, the old lady meant: "As long as Bao'er's husband's family agrees to break off the engagement, the matter will not be that serious. Zhengliu did not do this well, but in the final analysis it is a matter of concubinage."
Lu Jia's temper cannot be changed for a while.
She held the medicine bowl and said to Lin Yunwan: "As long as you, the mistress, nod your head, it will be alright. It depends on your magnanimity. You don't want the Hou Mansion to get into trouble, right?"
She looked down on Lin Yunwan and said: "My brothers and sisters have always been dignified and virtuous, and they have never been jealous people. The old lady is sick. Either I, the aunt, said something to you, or the old lady didn't say anything, you should take the initiative to take care of her." About this."
"Now it has made everyone uneasy, and it has also embarrassed our Lu family. You, the head wife, are eight times at fault!"
Mrs. Lu was silent for a while and said, "What your eldest aunt said is not unreasonable."
Lin Yunwan shouldn't just vent her anger. Breaking off the engagement was just a fabrication. It was explained away casually, and there would be no consequence of "her husband's family going to Beijing to file a complaint."
If she takes the initiative to propose a solution to concubinage, everyone will look good.
Zhu Qing was surprised.
Can this, can this also be blamed on Madam?
Thinking of Lu Jia's temper, she opened her mouth, but finally said nothing.
Unlike Zhu Qing, who is an aunt, Lin Yunwan did not dare to talk back to her aunt.
She raised her eyebrows and asked: "I wonder where my aunt is talking about the shame? Aren't we the only ones who know these things?"
Mrs. Lu reacted, frowned and asked, "What did your mother-in-law say?"
What else can you say?
Lu Jia said nonchalantly: "It's nothing, I just heard the girls gossiping. What can my mother-in-law say?"
Mrs. Lu will just listen to this.
She said dissatisfiedly: "If your husband's family hadn't said anything behind his back, they wouldn't have refused to introduce him to your brother."
Lu Jia started talking, could she still talk back?
Just because of this matter, she mentioned it in front of her husband's family, and her mother-in-law almost told her husband to divorce her.
She didn't dare to interfere anymore.
Lin Yunwan said: "The old lady and the prince have made up their minds, and I have nothing to say."
"But you also said that the first thing to do is to let the cousin break off the engagement with her husband's family first..."
Mrs. Lu coughed twice, raised her hand and said to Lin Yunwan, "You don't have to worry about it."
Lin Yunwan said: "Although I don't have to worry about it, if you get into trouble for taking concubines..."
She glanced at Lu Jia and said, "Auntie, I'm afraid she'll think it's mostly my fault again."
"So I have to say one more thing, taking a concubine is a small matter. If you take a woman you shouldn't take..."
Lu Jia interrupted her: "What girl shouldn't be accepted? I think you just don't want Zhengliu to accept your cousin."
Lin Yunwan said calmly: "Auntie, don't be anxious, I haven't finished speaking yet." It is against the law to take a lowly wife as a wife, or to secretly hide a woman who has been condemned as a sinner or a slave of a sinner's family. The same needs to be played. "
Mrs. Lu's heart sank. Until Ge Baoer entered the mansion, she only knew that Ge Baoer was a village woman, but she didn't know her details.
Zhengliu would definitely not be so confused that he would hide such a big thing from her.
But there is no guarantee that Ge Baoer will not deliberately deceive him.
Zhuqing sensed that something was wrong, and without having time to think about it, he said to the old lady, "Don't blame me for talking too much. My cousin has bad conduct... It's better to find out."
After all, Lin Yunwan just doesn't want to take this concubine!
Lu Jiadao: "Since she is my grandmother's distant niece, what's the problem? My cousin has lost her innocence, and now she is not allowed to visit. If people find out, they will think that the Lu family is a relative."
But Mrs. Lu said: "Don't give her a status for now, wait until her marriage is called off."
"Grandma! You..."
Confused!
Lu Jia wanted to persuade her, but Mrs. Lu wouldn't let her talk any more.
