Chapter 134: The Young Lady Who Married to Another Family VS the Disabled Prince
The courtyard was completely silent. Prince Wenxuan cleared his throat and said, "You are the Crown Prince. You have fought alongside me in battle. I know your abilities. However, my granddaughter is not bad either. Why did you refuse?"
Lu Zhiyan is indeed a good husband who is both talented in civil and military affairs, and is well-mannered both inside and out. However, he is in such a state now, and it is a blessing for him that Zhenzhen is willing to marry him.
The old general was a little angry that he dared to refuse in public.
Duke Lu laughed, "Your Highness heard wrongly. Zhiyan said yes."
Ye Zhenzhen moved her lips and glanced at Lu Zhiyan. She seemed to have some concerns and forced the words stuck in her throat back down. Aunt Ning covered her chest and was supported by the maid, barely able to stand up.
Lu Zhiyan's eyes were deep as he looked at Ye Zhenzhen. He spoke slowly, pausing over each word, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss. However, given my current condition, I'm afraid I can't afford it. I hope you'll find another good partner. Lu Zhiyan wishes you the best for the rest of your life."
Ye Zhenzhen stopped her grandfather who was about to speak and walked a few steps forward until she was in front of Lu Zhiyan. She bowed respectfully, then squatted before him and looked up at him. "Sir, how about a year? If you still don't want to live with Zhenzhen, I will go up the mountain to practice and become a nun. In this situation, if you are unwilling to help Zhenzhen, I am too ashamed to face the world. I am afraid that I can only leave the world with a white silk scarf."
She simply said it firmly, with tears glistening in her eyes as she looked at Lu Zhiyan.
The little girl was wearing a bright red wedding dress and squatting in front of him. When she looked up, he could see the red corners of her eyes. Lu Zhiyan suspected that if he really rejected her again, this crying little girl would definitely not be able to hold back her tears.
His heart, which had just been firm, gradually loosened. He felt that he was attracted by the soft light in those eyes and softened little by little.
Thousands of emotions eventually turn into one simple one.
"Ah."
The atmosphere immediately relaxed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. King Wenxuan's hand, which had been gripping the hilt of the sword, loosened slightly.
Duke Lu also breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly called out to his men, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and take the prince downstairs to change his clothes."
The people watching in the yard quickly returned to their feast.
Although this marriage was unusual, it was still a happy event for the Duke's Mansion, except that the groom was replaced by the Crown Prince.
……
Because Lu Zhiyan had difficulty walking, the previous procedures did not need to be repeated. The Duke's Mansion only sent someone to notify Minister Ye's family of this special situation.
Minister Ye was originally hugging Concubine Zhou affectionately.
When the servant came in, the flush on his face had not yet subsided, and he angrily cursed: "You blind bastard, what urgent matter is there that you have to report at this time?"
The servant who came to report tremblingly replied: "Master, there is news from the Prince's Mansion that the son-in-law has been replaced by the Prince. This matter was decided by Prince Wenxuan, and we are informed here."
Minister Ye was originally drinking tea, but halfway through listening, he couldn't help but spit it all out and coughed several times.
"What did you say?"
He couldn't believe it, but then he thought, could it be that Wanwan got married and King Wenxuan found out, so he got angry and changed her husband.
The servant explained the whole story in detail again, and finally said, "This was something our young lady wanted to do. Originally, she didn't have to stay in the prince's mansion, but she said she had a good relationship with the prince, so she was allowed to stay."
Minister Ye originally thought that this matter was caused by Ye Wanwan's affair being exposed, but he didn't expect that the truth was much more complicated than he imagined. After hearing the news, he asked in shock, "If it was Ye Zhenzhen who married into the Duke's Mansion, then where did Wanwan go?"
"Miss Wanwan married into the Song family." The servant answered truthfully.
Upon hearing this, Minister Ye almost jumped up from his seat. He asked in surprise, "Didn't she say she wanted to marry into the Su family? Why did she wade into the Song family's mess for no reason?"
As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something and slapped Aunt Zhou in the face, asking her fiercely, "Did you instigate this? This girl has been acting strangely lately, insisting on marrying that penniless Song Qingjin. Did you soften your heart when you saw her?"
Concubine Zhou's face burned with pain. She subconsciously covered it with her hand, looked at Minister Ye with grievance, and said in defense, "Master, I didn't. I don't know why I am like this. How could I possibly want Wanwan to marry into the Song family? Wanwan is my own flesh and blood, and I naturally want her to live a good life. How could I let her go to such a poor family and suffer? You are really wronging me."
Aunt Zhou cried out in pain like a spoiled child, her brows slightly furrowed, and her big watery eyes looked at Minister Ye with a coquettish look, "Master, you hurt me."
A pair of slender white legs poked directly into his arms.
Like a kitten scratching an itch, it nudged Minister Ye's heart.
"Master, I feel uncomfortable. You are wrongly accusing me. Tonight, if you don't coax me, I will not accept it." She deliberately raised her voice, with full charm.
Faced with Aunt Zhou's delicate voice and enchanting figure, Minister Ye only kept a straight face for three seconds before surrendering.
He reached out and grabbed the pair of playful jade feet, caressing them, and deliberately said with anger, "I only did it in a hurry. If I really wronged Mei'er, the master apologizes to you. But it's a pity that our Wanwan can't marry into the prince's mansion."
Concubine Zhou immediately put on a smile, snuggled coquettishly into Minister Ye's arms, and pounded his chest. "Master, you are so mean! But, as long as you trust me, I am not wronged. Master, Wan'er is obsessed with marrying Song Qingjin, and she says he will become a great man in the future. Let's believe her for once. Besides, I heard that the prince is not only disabled in his legs, but also has an illegitimate child, secretly raising him in the courtyard. If our Wan'er goes there and is asked to marry him, she might suffer a great punishment."
As Aunt Zhou spoke, her fingers slowly slid down Minister Ye's face. After a tingling sensation, Minister Ye pounced on her, no longer caring about what was happening tonight.
"Since it's already a foregone conclusion, we have no choice but to do this. If Wan'er is unhappy in the future, your father will help her. Mei'er, come here and let the master kiss you..."
at the same time
In the new house, Ye Zhenzhen sat nervously. Her plan for tonight was successful and everything went according to her plan.
But for some reason, she still felt a little uneasy, always feeling that something would happen tonight.
Seeing her daughter's nervous look, Qiao'er walked over and handed her a cup of tea. "Don't be nervous, my daughter. Your husband will be here soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Zhiyan came in from the door. He had a strange expression on his face and his eyes were a little solemn. He spoke in a serious tone.
"Go out first. I have something to say to your young lady."
