Chapter 161 My Aunt Needs a Request
The Sun family has not been very prosperous in the last two generations. The Sun family is better off than the family of Princess Sun Ruping of Kangping County. She has an older brother. Her father, Sun Ruping's grandfather, and the old prince consort are brothers. However, her father is the youngest.
When Sun Ruping's parents passed away, Sun Hua's father intended to take her in, but unexpectedly, Sun Ruping herself ended up under the care of the Grand Princess, also known as Princess Xuanhui.
Although her family was not as wealthy as Sun Ruping's family, they were still considered one of the richest families in Qingzhou.
When she was thirteen, she fell in love with Li Jun, the younger brother of Prefect Li. However, Li Jun was six years older than her, and she once thought that she would never be able to marry him.
Who knew that Li Jun was always away doing business, and the marriage was delayed. So, despite her parents' objections, she threatened suicide to force them to find a matchmaker to propose marriage.
Because Li Jun was rarely home, even though they were engaged, they didn't get married until two years ago when she was nineteen.
For some reason, Li Jun didn't like her, and the two haven't consummated their marriage yet. Moreover, Li Jun rarely returns to Qingzhou.
"The fact that His Majesty allowed me to stay in the capital for the New Year during this trip back to the capital shows how much he values me. I was wondering if His Majesty might also suspect me because of my brother-in-law's matter," Li Huan said.
Ye Muchen said, "Uncle, there's no need to worry. In the end, no specific charges were brought against my father-in-law. However, there are witnesses and physical evidence, which puts the Emperor in a difficult position. But the Emperor is a wise ruler and will not implicate innocent people."
Li Huan cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Jingxue had already had pastries, nuts, and fruits prepared.
However, these people only drank tea. Seeing that everyone was very reserved, Ye Muchen suggested that Li Huan go to his study to talk, so that the women could relax a bit.
After the two men and their entourage left, Madam Li spoke up, "Xue'er! Did you see your mother? Is she alright? I heard Xiao Ze was at your residence, but I didn't see him."
"Grandmother, don't worry! Mother is doing well. She is now more than six months pregnant. The Emperor has allowed Xiaoze and me to visit them in the palace on the eighteenth of each month. Xiaoze has gone to study at the academy!"
Speaking of this granddaughter, Madam Li had met her when she was a child. At that time, Li Huan and his family lived in Shangjing. Their family also had a mansion in the western city, which was the former residence of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites.
They stayed there when they came back. There was an old steward and his children managing the place. It was the old steward who sent someone to Qingzhou to inform them of Jing Zhiyuan's accident.
However, her eldest son was also a prefect of a prefecture, and she was getting old. Upon hearing the news, she wanted to return to the capital. But how could her son and daughter-in-law feel at ease? They had originally planned to return in the spring, but just then, the emperor ordered Li Huan to return to the capital to report on his duties, so they returned together.
Li Huan's wife told Jingxue about these things one by one, which was also an explanation!
After listening, Jingxue comforted Madam Li, saying, "Grandmother, don't worry! Mother is in good health, and Xiaoze is doing well in my household. You don't need to worry!"
"How can I not worry? Your uncle is rarely home, and I worry about him a lot. Now, your mother has suffered this misfortune. Sigh..." The old lady wiped away her tears with her handkerchief.
Madam Sun, who was standing nearby, quickly advised, "Mother, Yizhi will be fine outside. The Princess Consort has also said that Eldest Sister is in good health. You still need to take care of yourself!"
The eldest aunt took out a stack of silver notes and said, "How are the conditions in the palace where your parents are imprisoned? We can't help you with anything you lack. This money is a small token of our appreciation. We hope Your Highness will accept it and see if it can buy something for your sister. It's just a small token of our appreciation."
"Aunt, please rest assured, there is nothing needed there for the time being, and I will arrange everything properly. I will convey my regards to Mother, so please refrain from giving any money!"
Lady Li Huan looked at the old lady with a troubled expression, "Mother, what do you think..."
"In that case, please keep it! We'll have to trouble Your Highness! We feel more at ease with you here," said Madam Li.
Then the old lady said worriedly, "According to Her Majesty, Yunya will probably give birth in the first month of the lunar calendar, alas..."
"Grandmother, don't worry! The Emperor sends imperial physicians to examine Mother's pulse every now and then. She is imprisoned and has no freedom, but the Emperor has allowed them to bring four servants, all of whom served them in the mansion before."
Jingxue didn't go into too much detail because she didn't know whether they genuinely cared about their parents or were just going through the motions out of politeness.
She had lost the original owner's memories and didn't know if her maternal uncle's family had come to add to the original owner's dowry when she married Ye Muchen, so she didn't dare to talk about it too much.
Jingxue noticed that the boy named Li Guangxing was restless, constantly looking around, and Li Qianqian next to him glared at him several times.
Li Huan and his wife did attend Jingxue and Ye Muchen's wedding, but it was just the two of them. Because Madam Li was ill at the time, they rushed back to Qingzhou after the wedding.
The reason for introducing them one by one when they first met was because Ye Muchen didn't know these people. If it were only Jing Xue, it wouldn't have been necessary. However, Jing Xue was prepared. If that happened, she would say that she had been sick and couldn't remember the people and things from before, which she believed would be enough to get away with it.
"Your Highness, my aunt has a favor to ask of you upon returning to the capital this time."
Actually, Mrs. Li had been hesitant about this matter. In her memory, this niece was particularly introverted, like a fairy who didn't eat the food of this world. She didn't expect that she would be so mature and steady today. Perhaps it was normal for her to have changed after being a wife for more than half a year and experiencing family changes.
"Auntie, you're being too polite by asking me for help. Please tell me, Auntie. If it's within my ability, I will definitely help!" Jingxue spoke very tactfully, without making any promises.
"It's your cousin Guangxing. He and Qianqian are both sixteen years old. They don't like studying and always want to run away. Your aunt is thinking of sending him to the military camp for training. You'll have to talk to the prince about this."
As soon as Madam Li Huan finished speaking, Li Guangxing immediately shouted, "Mother, I don't want to go to the army camp. I want to learn business from my uncle. When my uncle comes back next time, I will go out and make my way in the world with him!"
"Xing'er, be good. Go to the army camp. With your brother-in-law there, I believe you won't suffer. Slowly work your way up to a minor official position. Maybe the generals in the army will take a liking to you and betroth their daughters to you!" Old Madam Li said to her grandson with a slight smile on her face.
Before Madam Li Huan could speak, Li Qianqian said, "Grandmother, you spoil my brother too much. This is not good for him!"
The old lady was a little embarrassed. "Qianqian, your brother is the only male heir in our Li family this generation. Grandmother just favors him a bit."
Lady Li Huan looked at Jingxue and said, "Your Highness, your eldest uncle and I have already discussed this matter. Your maternal grandmother has been spoiling Guangxing too much, which is not good."
Jingxue didn't speak immediately; the family had differing opinions, so she didn't know what to say.
