Chapter 145: No More Fighting
After serving tea, Lu Qin left first, followed by Lu Zizhe and Lu Ziqing. Chen then kept the two of them to talk.
She looked back and forth at the two of them, and finally took Chen Qingluo's hand, "Luo'er, are you satisfied with Ziyi?"
She knew that it was pointless to ask this question now, but she still wanted to know what Chen Qingluo thought.
If both parties are willing, it will naturally be a happy story.
If it was Chen Qingluo...
Then they could only be nicer to Chen Qingluo and make her accept their Duke Yu’s Mansion.
Chen Qingluo nodded gently, "Mother, your daughter-in-law is satisfied."
Chen smiled, a bright smile.
She pulled Chen Qingluo to sit down, then looked at Lu Ziyi standing beside her, her expression a little colder.
"Lu Ziyi! Now that you have married, will you come home less often in the future?" Chen asked.
Lu Ziyi glanced at Chen Qingluo, then quickly stepped forward to stop his mother from talking nonsense.
"Mother! Don't talk nonsense! When did I not come home? These days, apart from going to the Dali Temple, I have been reading books and practicing martial arts in the mansion!" Lu Ziyi said seriously.
When did that happen?
He has turned over a new leaf since the beginning of the year, okay?
"You've only been pretending recently. You weren't like this before!" Chen ruthlessly exposed him.
Lu Zizhe was more obedient than him. Besides going to the academy, he would stay at home reading and practicing martial arts. As for Lu Ziyi...
I used to love going out to eat, drink and have fun with a bunch of friends!
"Mother! I have...have turned over a new leaf!" Lu Ziyi corrected.
"Oh? Really? Then will you go out drinking again in the future?" Chen continued.
Lu Ziyi shook his head: "No!"
"What about the big polo cricket fight?"
“No more!”
"Going out of town hunting?"
"not going!"
After Lu Ziyi finished speaking, he looked up at Chen Qingluo.
Seeing that Chen Qingluo's face did not show anger, he felt relieved.
Didn’t he go out to have fun because he felt it was too boring to stay at home?
He is different from those playboys.
He drinks just to relax.
Playing polo and hunting are also forms of exercise.
As for cricket fighting, it is just a fun activity when you have nothing to do, and it does not involve gambling with others.
As for the brothels and other places, he was dragged there by someone, drank two glasses of wine and then left.
He is different from those good-for-nothings.
It’s just that his mother often compares him with Lu Zizhe, which makes her think he is childish and unreliable.
Now that he has a family, he will not run away again.
Besides, he has a lovely wife at home, so why would he be willing to spend time dealing with those bad friends?
Of course, the wife is the most important.
Seeing his sincere tone, Chen finally let him go.
Chen patted Chen Qingluo's hand and said, "Luo'er, if Ziyi bullies you, tell your mother and she will teach him a lesson for you!"
The men of the Duke of Yu’s Mansion are not allowed to bully women casually, especially their own wives.
Chen Qingluo smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother. My husband... won't do that."
She is not the kind of person who will be bullied for nothing.
Chen gave Chen Qingluo a few more instructions and then let them go.
As soon as they went out, they ran into their aunt Luo and cousin Chen Rong.
It was a rare opportunity for them to come to Kyoto, and in addition to attending his wedding banquet, they would also stay at his house for a few more days.
Both Luo Shi and Chen Rong's eyes fell on Chen Qingluo.
Looking at Chen Qingluo's appearance, Chen Rong felt ashamed of himself.
How can she compare with Chen Qingluo?
Chen Qingluo is so beautiful, she has no chance at all.
No wonder my cousin looked down on her, but arranged a marriage for her with Minister Chen's family so quickly.
The more Chen Rong thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more unwilling he became.
She had known her cousin for so many years, but Chen Qingluo got there first. She must be unwilling to accept this.
But so what?
Chen Qingluo has already married Lu Ziyi. She can't be Lu Ziyi's concubine, right?
Being the concubine of the Prince of Yuguo...
That’s not impossible!
The Duke of Yu's Mansion is the maternal family of the Crown Prince and the King of Qin. Once the Crown Prince or the King of Qin ascends the throne, the Duke of Yu's Mansion will only become more prosperous.
This is not something a small prefectural government can compare to.
She actually wanted to marry in Kyoto, even if it was just to be a concubine.
Ningzhou is far less prosperous than Kyoto. If she returns to Ningzhou, what kind of good man can she marry?
Thinking of this, Chen Rong wanted to fight for it.
It would be best if we could stay in Kyoto.
"Cousin! This must be your cousin's wife, right? She is so beautiful." Chen Rong said with a smile.
"Yes! Luo'er, this is my aunt, and this is my cousin." Lu Ziyi introduced the Luo mother and daughter to Chen Qingluo.
Chen Qingluo bowed slightly and said, "Meet my aunt, my cousin is also very beautiful."
She also praised Chen Rong.
Apart from being a little darker, Chen Rong's facial features are still good-looking.
Hearing this, Chen Rong covered her face shyly, "How can I be compared with my cousin's wife? I'm... just average."
She knew that she wasn't ugly, but that was just the thing, and Chen Qingluo...
She is simply stunningly beautiful.
She didn't even have the courage to fight for it.
My cousin has a wife like this, will he take a concubine?
Probably not?
Although Chen Rong was unwilling, his confidence had been reduced by half.
Lu Ziyi said a few words to them, then took Chen Qingluo away.
Looking at Lu Ziyi's excited back, Chen Rong was hit again.
From childhood to adulthood, I have never seen Lu Ziyi so happy!
He was happy to marry Chen Qingluo.
"Mother, let's go back to Ningzhou!" Chen Rong said with despair.
She won't fight for it, because she can't get it!
Mrs. Luo opened her mouth, but finally nodded. "Okay, we'll set off back to Ningzhou tomorrow. Rong'er, you... don't be sad. Even if you lose the marriage with the Duke's Mansion, there are still other options."
She originally thought that Chen Qingluo was an ugly woman and that Chen Rong still had some hope.
But now...
Not only is Chen Qingluo not an ugly girl, she is also a stunning beauty. They have no hope at all.
Rather than staying and suffering humiliation, it is better to return to Ningzhou.
This is to avoid a fallout with the Duke of Yuguo's Mansion and making it difficult to deal with them in the future.
Chen Rong bit his lip and swallowed the resentment in his heart.
If it were someone else, she would never give up easily!
Mrs. Luo rubbed her head. "Okay! Don't be sad. Rong'er, you're doing well too!"
Chen Rong sighed, "Let's go! Let's go back and pack our things."
……
In November, King Qin Sima You got married.
Liu Yuyan sent someone to invite her over, and Su Yuan went to the Prime Minister's Mansion early.
Before the nanny came in to do her makeup, Liu Yuyan took Su Yuan's hand.
"Sister Luo has caught a cold recently and I'm afraid she won't come over for fear of infecting the guests, so I can only ask Sister Su to come and keep me company." Liu Yuyan explained.
Originally, she wanted Chen Qingluo to come and keep her company, after all, they had known each other for a long time.
But Chen Qingluo is not free, and...
She was also a little afraid that the wedding banquet would be noisy and chaotic, and someone would take the opportunity to bully Chen Qingluo.
After much deliberation, she decided to ask Su Yuan to accompany her.
For some reason, she felt very safe as long as Su Yuan was around.
