The Return of the Marquis's Daughter

"If the Concubine Shu comes forward directly, wouldn't she be openly offending Empress Wen and Gu Yunzhou?" Qin Wenlan asked in confusion.

After all, at this time, wouldn't it be better to avoid them in the open? In the dark, in front of His Majesty, who was fighting fiercely, he still acted like a brother and a respectful brother.

Anyway, in her previous life, she didn't directly participate in it, she just followed and passed on information.

I didn't know that Concubine Shu and Gu Chang'an were so stubborn as to fight Empress Wen and the others head-on.

"I've already offended him, so what else is there to worry about? Even if these things didn't happen, do you think people like Empress Wen and Gu Yunzhou would let me live in peace?

Isn't there an example before? Could it be that the previous disability was self-inflicted? And the Nanhu assassination incident..."

Hearing these words, Qin Wenlan thought to himself that this was indeed the case. After all, in the previous life, Empress Wen and Gu Yunzhou were able to defeat everyone smoothly, but they were unable to defeat Concubine Shu and Gu Changan.

If he had not been blind and listened to the Qin family's manipulations and had not been passing on information from behind, it would have been impossible for Gu Yunzhou and Empress Wen to defeat Concubine Shu and Gu Chang'an.

Gu Changan mentioned this matter to Qin Wenlan, definitely asking her to pass on the message to Lu Minglan privately.

If the Taifu family is willing to marry, this matter will be half successful. If the Taifu family disagrees, the Wucheng Marquis Mansion will simply pretend that this matter has never happened and it will be impossible to get the Taifu family out.

However, Qin Wenlan thought of another point. If Lu Minglan could marry into the Wucheng Marquis Mansion, then everyone would be on the same page!

Therefore, the Wucheng Marquis Mansion clearly sided with Gu Changan in their hearts. Even if they did not express their position directly, they had a very good impression of Gu Changan in their hearts.

Empress Shufei must have also thought of this idea, so she dared to openly tell Empress Wen and Gu Yunzhou about it.

There is no point in offending Empress Wen. Getting support from the Marquis of Wucheng's Mansion is a sure-win deal.

Besides, if this marriage can be successfully secured, there will be another support from the Taifu family, and that’s how the chain of support comes about.

As long as Concubine Shu thought about pulling backers like Marquis Wucheng and the Grand Tutor into Gu Chang'an's camp, why wouldn't she do it?

Qin Wenlan looked at Gu Changan opposite him carefully again. Haha, this time he was right. This was the capable man who almost killed Gu Yunzhou and Queen Wen and her son.

"Okay, I'll help ask, but don't expect that I can succeed just by asking. I can't guarantee that!" Qin Wenlan said seriously.

She had a very good personal impression of Lu Minglan. In terms of character, she was a good match for the second son of the Marquis of Wucheng. However, she had to see what the Taifu family thought.

Besides, they also have to have their own considerations. After all, Queen Wen’s family is not one to be worried about.

At this moment, Yan Rujun knocked on the door and personally delivered the dishes. He was carrying a huge food box in his hand. As soon as he came in, he put the food directly on the table until the entire table was full.

Qin Wenlan took a quick look and found that some of the dishes were the ones he liked to eat the last time he came here. He really is a very observant person!

"You have to taste it carefully this time. These are all made according to your taste. I didn't eat much last time because I was in a hurry.

Look, this spicy hot pot isn't available anywhere, but Brother Yan went down to talk to the chef privately about it."

Gu Changan used the chopsticks beside him to carefully pick out the dishes and put them into Qin Wenlan's bowl.

In fact, to be honest, Qin Wenlan is not so obsessed with these appetites, it just depends on his mood.

However, she still said thank you to Gu Changan in a good mood and ate some more, "Hmm, it tastes very good."

Gu Changan smiled, "It's an honor for these dishes to be liked by you!"

Qin Wenlan shut up. She thought she should just focus on eating.

Gu Changan looked at the person who was eating with his head down, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

That time at the Ningguo Duke's mansion, she saw that several women were very friendly to her. They were willing to accept her, who had just returned from the Qin family manor.

If there is such an opportunity, he will certainly help her. After all, any woman who can grow up in the capital must be a smart person. Anyone who can treat Qin Wenlan like this means that she either has a good family education or a good character.

How could a good family like Wuchenghou Mansion be given to a family like Dingguogong Mansion? Wouldn't that be like sticking a "flower" in cow dung?

As for whether the Wuchenghou Mansion truly likes Lu Minglan, it doesn’t matter. As long as Qin Wenlan sits in the position of Princess An, the Wuchenghou Mansion will be satisfied with Lu Minglan.

This kind of business is really a sure win, how can we just sit there and watch it go away?

……

After Qin Wenlan separated from Gu Changan, he went directly to the Taifu's house and met Lu Minglan in private to tell her everything in detail.

Even though Lu Minglan was a very decisive person, she was still shocked on the spot. Wucheng Marquis Mansion?

Such a good marriage was something she had never thought of. It was not that she looked down on herself, but the two families were not on the same level, one was civil and the other was military.

However, if this marriage could really be accomplished, she would become the young wife of the Crown Prince of Wuhou Mansion.

Lu Minglan suppressed the trembling in her heart, even though she was still a girl and should not have to face such things directly.

However, Marquis Wucheng has a great reputation throughout the capital, and the only thing that is worrying is the people in Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

"Wenlan, it's hard for me to make a decision on this matter. I have to ask my mother's opinion." Lu Minglan said with a hint of shyness.

"Although this marriage is very good, it does involve the Duke Dingguo's residence. I wonder what my mother and grandmother will do."

"Minglan, your concern is that you should ask the elders in your family to make the decision. I came here to tell you because we are familiar with each other and it would be difficult to tell your mother.

After all, we are all girls, how can we face something like marriage directly? Fortunately, we only talked about it in private.

Besides, I am just a messenger. The final outcome of the matter will of course depend on the fate of your two families."

"Yes, that's right, marriage is something that needs to be considered carefully." Lu Minglan responded.

Although the marriage was a good one, it was a bit tricky! Her family didn't dare to confront Empress Wen and Gu Yunzhou head-on.

Qin Wenlan certainly knew other people's concerns. If she were not a girl, it would not be easy for her to go to the Taifu Mansion and tell the elders, so she would not have told Lu Minglan today.

As soon as Qin Wenlan left, Lu Minglan went directly to her grandmother and mother and explained the whole story clearly.

Her grandmother exchanged a glance with her mother, then looked at her granddaughter and asked, "This is what Miss Qin said personally. Is this also what the wife of the Marquis of Wucheng meant?"

"Well, that's what Wenlan said. If it weren't for the pressure from Duke Dingguo's Mansion, Marquis Wucheng's Mansion would have personally sent an official matchmaker to our house to propose marriage." Lu Minglan said with a blushing face.

"How dare the Duke Dingguo's residence act so presumptuously? I'm afraid it has something to do with Empress Wen and Prince Yun. This matter is of great importance, and your father must return to make the decision. You should leave first!"
