Zhen Huan is still in love, and her sister's goal is to become the queen mother

Emin quickly returned home to discuss his marriage with Xitala.

At first, Xitala listened to her son mentioning his sweetheart with a smile.

The more Xitala listened, the more she felt something was wrong. The county magistrate of Songyang County? He was from the Han Army Banner.

This family is indeed...

Seeing that his mother looked unhappy, Emin slowed down his speech and then slowly stopped talking.

"Mother, you..."

Xitala looked at her son's expression. She did not show any dissatisfaction with An Lingrong's family background, nor did she show any anger towards E Min. Instead, she spoke to E Min in a soft voice with great patience:

"Emin, you have grown up and found a girl you like. Mother is very happy."

"From what you said, Miss An is a strong person and is also very good at needlework. She is also a rare good girl."

Emin listened to Xitala's words without saying anything.

Xitala hesitated for a moment before looking at Emin again, "But, Emin, you are your father's eldest son, and you will be the head of the Xilin Gioro family in the future. Not only must your wife be liked by you, she will also be the mistress of the Xilin Gioro mansion and the wife of the Xilin Gioro clan."

"This Miss An..."

"Marriage is about connecting two families. I have already contacted several young ladies for you, and I have always wanted to consider your marriage. But now that you have a lover, I have to find out more about the other party's family situation. I can't just make a marriage so rashly."

Xitala looked at her son calmly, "Are you okay?"

Emin hesitated, but knowing that this was a concession made by his mother to him, he nodded anyway.

But when Xitala found out the details of the An family, her mood dropped to freezing point.

Xitala originally thought that An Bihuai was just a lower official. If the An family was well-educated and An's father was an ambitious man, she could accept E Min's marriage, after all, her son liked him.

Kexitala never expected that Anbihuai's official position was donated. His family was well-known for favoring concubines and neglecting wives. How could she allow such a family to be accepted?

No matter how much Emin liked him, Xitala had to consider the future of the family and Ortai's official career.

An Lingrong did not have enough money for the trip, and her expenses in the capital city in recent days were high. Seeing how hard she worked doing embroidery every day, E Min also offered to help her.

In the past few days, Emin and others have been anxiously waiting for news from the Xitala family.

Finally, Emin waited until his mother's people came to call him, but it was a bolt from the blue.

This time, Xitala came straight to the point, leaving no room for redemption.

"She's nice, but she's not the right one for you."

When E Min heard this, it was as if a bucket of cold water was poured over his head.

He originally just thought that although An Lingrong had a poor family background, she would be able to learn how to handle various things in the future with her mother's guidance.

"Mother, I... Although she has a poor family background, my son will study hard and bring honor to the family. My son can earn her a royal title, and then no one will say that she has a low family background..."

Xitala looked at her son's expression and sighed helplessly, "Emin, mother believes in your determination and trusts your ability. You are my son, how can I not understand you, but..."

Xitala stared at Emin's eyes seriously, "Your father would not agree with her family's situation."

"You are carrying the Xilinjueluo Mansion on your shoulders. It is not possible to live according to your own wishes."

After the mother and son talked, E Min had a deep discussion about the matter with E'ertai in the study.

No one knew what Ortai said. E Min was driven out of the study and knelt down to receive the family punishment, which was a rare occurrence.

E Min had to endure it and lay in bed for several days, unable to get out of bed.

E Min was afraid that An Lingrong would worry if she saw that he did not go to see her, so he sent his servant to tell her.

Lying on the bed, E Min also thought seriously about his and An Lingrong's future.

This matter is a dead end no matter how it goes. Ideals and reality are separated, tearing E Min into two halves.

Everything after that happened so fast.

An Lingrong and E Min said goodbye. Before E Min could speak, An Lingrong looked at his pale face and felt heartbroken.

Someone from An Lingrong's family came to urge her to go back.

That day, An Lingrong felt extremely helpless, but fortunately someone came to help her.

Later, An Lingrong learned that this was someone sent by E Min's mother.

Unlike what was said in the storybook, this lady did not make things difficult for her, but it made An Lingrong feel even more sad.

E Min sent her enough silver to enable her to survive in the capital.

However, the love that had made her intoxicated her began to cool down a little, and An Lingrong felt anxious.

Can I really gain a foothold in this capital city?

An Lingrong knew that there was a huge gap between her and E Min's family backgrounds, but when she looked at the young man who saved her from danger, she always wished that he could pull her out of the abyss of the nightmare.

But these past few days, the longer An Lingrong stayed in the capital, the more she found herself at a loss.

E Min was afraid that An Lingrong would be bored staying in the capital. After all, she didn't have any familiar sisters here. So she specifically asked Wang Qingyun to let her sister take An Lingrong out for a walk.

But the more she looked, the more An Lingrong felt that she was out of place.

And there is the aunt. Aunt Xiao really wants An Lingrong to marry E Min. After all, if he goes back, his father will never let him marry into a good family.

But the more Aunt Xiao mentioned these things, the more An Lingrong felt that the gap between herself and E Min was getting deeper and deeper.

Given the situation at home, Anjia would only be the biggest burden to Emin.

"Miss An, I..."

"Master E, I want to go back."

E Min suddenly looked up at her, and An Lingrong avoided E Min's sight.

"The capital is too big, but there is no place for me. I still like Jiangnan."

E Min fell silent, "I am wrong, am I not..."

"No." An Lingrong looked at E Min seriously. "You helped me twice and gave me money so that I wouldn't be so poor that I had no place to live. It's already," she paused, "my bad luck. We are not destined to be together."

E Min looked at An Lingrong seriously, "Miss An, don't belittle yourself. You are very good. Even if it's not me, you deserve to be cherished."

"My family, I failed to convince them that I was useless and not capable enough. It was even more impossible for me to let the girl be a concubine. But, the girl was not wrong."

An Lingrong listened in a daze, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.

The next time they met was when E Min sent An Lingrong on the carriage home, and watched the carriage gradually become smaller and slowly go away.

Emin had a deep talk with Ortai, and finally he was unwilling to let An Lingrong compromise. Ortai was a father who loved his son, but Emin did not want to be a fool.

After An Lingrong returns home, Ortai will mobilize his connections to make An Bihuai cautious and choose a good marriage for An Lingrong and find a loving man.

E Min secretly gave a lot of silver to Aunt Xiao. He knew that it would be inappropriate to give it to An Lingrong, but she would need money for the journey back and for expenses after returning. Silver would be needed everywhere. With these, An Lingrong would not have to work so hard on embroidery every day.

The Xilin Gioro family can help her secretly, but Emin also has to draw a clear line between them.

Since E Min was unable to protect her and completely resolve all issues in the An family, he naturally would not damage An Lingrong's reputation.

Now Ortai has that ability, but Emin does not.

He is the eldest son of the Xilin Gioro family, and only the son of the Xilin Gioro family.

After sending An Lingrong away, E Min studied even harder and took the imperial examinations. Later, he took the initiative to be sent out to gain experience.

They met again in Jiangnan three years later. On a small boat by the river, E Min looked at the figure that flashed by and rowed slower. However, E Min did not let An Lingrong discover him.

She is married and lives a happy life now.

E Min knew that An Lingrong had left her father and married to Suzhou, where her mother once lived.

In Suzhou, she had the Jiangnan scenery she loved, her thriving cloth shop, and her loving husband...

She's doing well, that's all.

I shouldn't disturb her, E Min withdrew his gaze.
