LOL! Is this scumbag waiting for the New Year to divorce?
Chapter 86 The Princess's Gossip
The imperial edict was issued by the Empress Dowager, mainly to commend Lu Chenshuang.
To be honest, the empress dowager is much more generous than the emperor.
In addition to rewarding Lu Chenshuang with two thousand taels of gold, he also gave her two boxes of jewelry and a house.
Everything else is fine, but this house is really well designed.
The Queen Mother gave this to her as a reward because she was afraid that Lu Chenshuang and Jing Zhaoyan would have nowhere to go after their divorce.
Firstly, it would allow her to settle down in the capital, and secondly, if she lived in this house at least the people in Jingyang Marquis' Mansion would not dare to cause trouble for her openly.
This time, Lu Chenshuang thanked him sincerely and asked Guyu to give a big purse to the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict.
After receiving the purse, the eunuch smiled and said, "Thank you Miss Lu for the reward. When I came here, the Queen Mother specifically reminded me to tell Miss Lu to come to the palace more often to accompany her when she is free.
She also wants to play mahjong with you.
The Queen Mother has been practicing her card skills in the palace recently, and she said she would win back all the money for Nanny Fang when the time comes."
Lu Chenshuang laughed out loud twice when he heard this.
But she did not tell the eunuch that she had secretly returned the money that Nanny Fang had given her when she left the palace.
It’s just that Lu Chenshuang didn’t let Nanny Fang make it public, otherwise the eldest princess and the queen would have come after her to ask for the money.
She had earned that money with great difficulty, so there was no reason for her to return it.
Of course, Nanny Fang is an exception. She was forced to be a foil. Besides, that was the money Nanny Fang had saved for her retirement after working in the palace for a lifetime. Lu Chenshuang really couldn't accept it.
She calls this "a gentleman loves money but gets it in a proper way."
Lu Chenshuang said to the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict, "If you play cards with the Queen Mother, you will only lose. There is no reason for you to win."
The eunuch had served the empress dowager for most of his life, so he felt relieved when he heard Lu Chenshuang say this.
Now the ladies in the palace are competing to give silver to the empress dowager.
After the messenger left, Lin Shen looked at Lu Chenshuang with a complicated expression. He thought that his niece would have a hard time after leaving Marquis Jingyang's Mansion, and he was thinking of bringing her back to Linzhou City.
Now it seems that Lu Chenshuang is much more powerful than he imagined.
With the Queen Mother as a strong backer, the Jingyang Marquis' Mansion is really not good enough.
So, can this niece also help them with their business this time?
But then Lin Shen rejected this idea. Lu Chenshuang had just divorced and even with the Queen Mother's protection, her life would definitely be difficult. He decided not to cause trouble for Lu Chenshuang.
Although Lin Shen did not take the initiative to talk to Lu Chenshuang about this matter, it does not mean that Lu Chenshuang did not know what business they came to Beijing to discuss this time.
There are so many competing businessmen in the capital, you can find out if you just ask around.
Within two days, Xiaoman told Lu Chenshuang the news he had found out.
Lu Chenshuang looked at Xiaoman and asked, "Do you mean that my uncle and his men came to Beijing this time to discuss the supply of food and fodder for the army?"
Xiaoman nodded and said, "Yes, it is Duke Rong who is in charge of the purchase this time."
Lu Chenshuang was surprised for a moment. Isn't Duke Rong the eldest princess's husband and Rong Yi's father?
If she goes to the Princess and Rong Yi to ask for help through the back door, she wonders if Duke Rong will give her some face.
But Lu Chenshuang was a little worried. After all, the army's food and fodder supply was related to the safety of the Dalin Kingdom. If the supply was not timely or if there was any mistake, the person would be beheaded.
Moreover, this was a matter of national and military importance. Even if she had saved Rong Yi's life, I'm afraid the princess wouldn't repay her favor with such a thing.
Just when Lu Chenshuang was worried, the opportunity came.
The person who came to ask for a meeting was Buxian from Rongguo Mansion. Lu Chenshuang saw that he looked flustered, and seemed to be even more nervous than the day the emperor was assassinated.
Lu Chenshuang immediately stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go with you. We can talk about anything after we're a long way."
He held back the words he wanted to ask for help. He had already thought of an excuse along the way. He didn't expect Miss Lu to be so easy to talk to.
It seems that their young master's true love for Miss Lu is not in vain. You know, after hearing that Miss Lu and Marquis Jingyang had divorced, their young master was so happy that he didn't sleep all night.
I also prepared a lot of gifts for Miss Lu, but unfortunately they haven't been given away yet.
Lu Chenshuang, who was sitting in the carriage, saw Buxian's expression changing back and forth, and thought that Rong Yi was in critical condition, so she said, "Tell me what's going on, so that I can save some time when I get there."
Bu Xian came back to his senses and said, "Miss Lu, the reason is this. Our prince was originally planning to come to see you today, but the seventh prince asked him to go horseback riding.
The Crown Prince couldn't refuse, so he had to follow the Seventh Prince to the horse farm.
Unexpectedly, the prince met Chen Yaohui, the grandson of Chen Yanghou, at the horse racing field, and the two had a conflict.
Our Crown Prince and the Seventh Prince were ruthless and kicked Chen Yaohui's vitals."
Lu Chenshuang: . . . . .
What the hell is going on? It turns out that Rong Yi is the kid who got into trouble, so why is he so anxious?
And there is Rong Yi. Although he usually speaks in a arrogant manner, he is not a cruel child. Why would he be so cruel to the grandson of Marquis Chen Yang?
And the Seventh Prince is also making trouble, unless there is some deep hatred between the two of them.
But Rong Yi is only six years old. He has been spoiled by everyone since he was a child. It is impossible for him to have any deep hatred with others. It can only be between adults.
Thinking of this, Lu Chenshuang immediately smelled the scent of gossip.
So he even abandoned his medical ethics and looked at Bu Xian and said, "Your young master is only six years old and he shouldn't have any big hatred with the grandson of Chen Yanghou's family. Why did he use such a heavy hand?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Buxian's face when he heard this.
Seeing this, Lu Chenshuang said, "Ah, I thought something happened to your young master, after all, we still have some friendship.
But now he is the grandson of Chen Yanghou, and I don’t know him, so I’d better go back.”
After saying that, he made a move to get off the car.
Bu Xian heard this and said anxiously: "Miss Lu, please don't.
I said, "Isn't that okay? But you can't tell others that it was me who told you."
Lu Chenshuang smiled and nodded when she heard this: "Don't worry, I always keep my mouth shut."
Bu Xian said in a low voice: "This Chen Yanghou's son is the former consort of our eldest princess.
Because the eldest princess was injured on the battlefield in her early years, she had difficulty in having children, so the former prince consort could not help but keep a mistress outside.
When the eldest princess discovered the child, he was already several years old.
The former prince consort was still begging the princess for forgiveness, saying that he just wanted to leave a descendant for their Chen family.
The emperor originally planned to kill the son of Chen Yanghou, but the eldest princess spared his life out of consideration for their old friendship.
By the way, the family of Chen Yanghou originally held the title of Duke, but was later demoted to Marquis by the Emperor, and this title can only be inherited by the generation of Chen Yanghou’s heir.”
Lu Chenshuang was listening to the gossip with great interest, but she suddenly chuckled. This emperor was a bit mean.
It was so hard to find someone to inherit the family business, but their title was cut off.
