In my previous life, I killed my whole family. In my next life, I killed the royal family.
Chapter 127 Unable to Marry
Lu Fenghui has been an official for many years and is very good at observing people's words and expressions. He found that his cousin Lu Yunfeng had changed a lot and had been observing him secretly without making a sound.
Old Master Lu proposed again: "The princess is gone, Fengyun still wants to marry and have a child, so find a girl from another mansion to propose marriage."
Cheng immediately stated, "You are not allowed to marry the eldest daughter of the Qi family. She can only be a concubine."
Master Lu snorted coldly, "Sister-in-law, you think too much. How can a young lady from a marquis's mansion be a concubine? It's impossible for her to be a concubine of the prince."
He hated Cheng the most. If it hadn't been for her causing trouble at the Qi Mansion's shop, it would have led to this series of events, which led to the dismissal of his son Lu Fenghui's position as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. The Lu family had spent 1.5 million taels of silver, but before they could make much money, the business was taken back by Empress Dowager Lu, who also issued an edict: "The Lu family is not allowed to serve as officials or merchants to the emperor."
The Lu family is almost at the end of their rope, and it’s all because of Cheng, who is now also promoting the eldest daughter of the Qi mansion.
If the Lu family really wanted to marry Miss Qi, even if they had to sacrifice her, there would be a way out.
Of course, the Lu family knew this was the truth, but they would not admit it because they could not marry Miss Qi at all.
Cheng rolled her eyes and said disdainfully, "Can a girl named Qi get married? Even if she does, she won't be able to marry into a good family."
When you hate someone, you will inadvertently pay more attention to how she is doing.
Of course, the worse her life was, the happier she felt.
Cheng found out a lot about Miss Qi from the official media.
"Recently, someone has asked an official matchmaker to go to the Qi Mansion to propose marriage."
"There is a prince whose wife died."
"There is a minister who is unlucky in marriage."
"There is a thirty-year-old fifth-rank lord."
Therefore, Cheng came to the conclusion that "the eldest daughter of the Qi family will never get married!"
Lu Fengyun smiled sinisterly and said, "If that's the case, why not spread the news for her so that other people know about it and don't have to be fooled."
Cheng clapped his hands and laughed, "Okay, let's do it."
Lu Fenghui opened his mouth and wanted to persuade, "Don't be enemies with the Qi family anymore. They are not as soft-hearted as they seem."
According to his observation and analysis, the Qi family has more than one person to help them. The eldest lady Qi is also very capable. It would be best if she were a friend rather than an enemy.
But he knew that the Lu family had developed a sense of superiority over the years and were unwilling to acknowledge the strengths and advantages of others, which led to their short-sightedness.
Lu Feng would give up the idea of persuading his fellow tribesmen and let them do it.
He was thinking, "If this continues, the Lu family will be finished sooner or later. I have to find a way out."
Lu Feng would suggest, "The Lu family's business has been damaged recently, and I have lost my official position now, so why don't I go around and check the business situation to see what caused it."
"Very good." Old Master Lu nodded in agreement, and then praised with a crooked mouth. "Ah Hui has contributed to the clan, and is worthy of learning for the men of the Feng generation in the clan."
Lu Fengyun lazily stood up and thanked him, "Thank you for your hard work, cousin."
The other cousins all bowed, "Thank you for your hard work, cousin."
"It's my duty." Lu Feng would return the gift.
The next day, he took his younger brother, his wife and children, and left the capital in a carriage.
As the Lu family spread the news intentionally or unintentionally, everyone in the capital knew that the eldest daughter of the Qi family had a bad fate and a bad horoscope, so her marriage proposal had never been successful.
Such news, like a bombshell, set off an uproar in the capital, and people were talking about the eldest daughter of the Qi family. And all this was exactly what the Lu family wanted to see. They wanted to use this method to damage the reputation of the eldest daughter of the Qi family, thereby affecting the reputation and status of the Qi family.
Princess Daning could no longer calm down after hearing this rumor. She felt extremely anxious and uneasy, as if her family had become the culprit that caused Miss Qi's marriage to be blocked.
She secretly regretted it, thinking that if she could have waited a few more days to finalize Amin's marriage, perhaps Miss Qi would not have been in such trouble.
However, she could only keep these words in her heart, because she knew that her son's marriage had already been decided, and he was going to marry the daughter of the emperor's sister. This marriage could be described as a close relationship.
She thought for a long time and thought of finding a good marriage for Miss Qi. "Let's see who dares to criticize her in the future!"
Princess Daning decided to discuss the matter with her sister.
When Princess Daning proposed to her sister, "Let our nephew the Fourth Prince marry Miss Qi," the eldest princess was surprised.
The eldest princess said: "The Fourth Emperor's nephew is still young. Compared with Miss Qi, he is five or six years younger."
However, Princess Daning disagreed and said, "Marrying is not entirely about marrying a man."
This made the eldest princess burst into laughter and said, "Sister, what you said is really funny! If a woman doesn't marry a man, does she have to marry a woman?"
"I don't care about others. Miss Qi married the Fourth Emperor's nephew just for the position of princess." Princess Daning said unhappily, "That way, not many people in the capital will dare to bully her."
"Don't worry too much, my sister. I don't think anyone can bully Miss Qi." The eldest princess advised, "She has to make the decision on marriage. If she had agreed before, the third prince or your son would have been married long ago, and they wouldn't have waited until now."
Princess Daning was a little puzzled. "Why didn't she agree to get engaged, and let people talk about it like this?"
The eldest princess was silent for a while and said, "Maybe she still remembers her childhood."
"If that's the case, she may never get married in this life." Princess Daning muttered softly.
The sisters knew a secret: when the emperor's younger brother Wang Qin was the little prince, he would see Qi Wan several times a day, teach her how to speak, hold her hand to walk, and make her laugh. When Qi Wan grew up, Wang Qin also taught her to paint, play the piano, play chess, and write.
They still remembered that once, when their father learned that Wang Qin had gone to the Qi residence again, he asked Wang Qin jokingly with a smile: "Does Ah Qin like that girl from the Qi family very much?"
Wang Qin just smiled shyly, then nodded shyly and replied: "Yes, father, I like her the most. She is as cute as a little dumpling." Seeing the look on their little brother's face, the eldest princess and Princess Daning couldn't help laughing out loud, but they also felt that the girl from the Qi family was indeed very cute.
The two sisters even laughed and discussed privately, "Our little brother may have to raise a wife on his own."
"Haha, this is the most beautiful feeling in the world - childhood sweethearts."
This incident should have been a beautiful memory, but with Wang Qin's disappearance, the secret became heavy. This was a secret known only to a few people in the royal family, and now, no one dared to mention it except the two sisters.
Later, the two sisters heard about Qi Wan's reaction after she lost track of Wang Qin. It is said that after Qi Wan learned that Wang Qin was missing, she cried for a long time, "Brother Crown Prince, I want Brother Crown Prince." She was taken to Peixiang's hometown by her nanny to live for a while, and she didn't miss Brother Qin until she came back.
When her father-in-law proposed that her son Qin Gaoming and Miss Qi get married, Princess Daning refused outright because of this, and she made the excuse that "people outside say that she is weak and incompetent."
Later, when her son wanted to marry her, she had no choice but to agree, but she still felt a knot in her heart.
After seeing that Miss Qi was capable, she let go of her worries and decided to accept her as her daughter-in-law. However, misfortune occurred in the Qi family and the marriage did not take place.
The eldest princess sighed and said softly, "If only he were still alive." These words were filled with endless longing and regret.
However, Princess Daning responded in a low voice: "Maybe he is really alive." There was a hint of hope and uncertainty in her voice.
The eldest princess looked at her sister in confusion and asked, "Why do you say that?"
Princess Daning lowered her voice and explained, "The one who was looking for the bandit before was probably looking for him."
Hearing this, the eldest princess' eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, but soon dimmed, and she said softly: "I hope so."
The two sisters looked at each other, with complex emotions intertwined in their eyes, including nostalgia for the past and expectations for the future.
Although the children born in the royal family enjoy wealth and splendor, they endure much more pain and suffering than ordinary people. They are helpless and cannot control their own destiny, so they can only endure everything silently.
