The whole capital persuaded me to remarry

Chapter 21 Continue Playing the Bully

Zhen Baoshu chatted with her little cousin all the way to relax, then went to see Aunt Zheng, and then accompanied the mother and daughter to the guest house.

She specially ordered people to prepare fragrant soup for bathing and delicate meals for entrance, and told a few maidservants to take good care of Aunt Zheng's mother and daughter, and then she left.

Before returning to her room, she went to her father's study.

The young servant guarding the yard tactfully did not go in to report, and let her come and go as she pleased.

She came to the door of the study, and was about to raise her hand to knock on the door, when she heard mother and father's conversation coming from inside.

She hesitated for a moment. Although she knew that eavesdropping was shameful, she chose to obey her heart and stood outside the door to eavesdrop without saying a word.

Because, she heard her mother ask about today's court affairs.

"Husband."

"I can't figure it out. It's fine if you refuse to agree to Yan Jiulan's proposal to marry Shu'er on weekdays. Why is he begging the emperor to marry him today, but you still don't agree?"

"We don't let Shu'er marry Yan Jiulan, not because he is a bad person, but because we are afraid of getting hurt by him."

"But if the emperor personally decrees the marriage, then we follow the decree and follow the trend."

"With the holy purpose of bestowing marriage, even if something happens to Yan Jiulan in the future, it will not implicate our Xiangfu."

When Zhen Baoshu heard this, she couldn't help but hold her breath and listened harder.

That's what puzzled her too.

Why didn't daddy agree to the emperor's gift of marriage today?

In the study, Dad's deep voice came out.

"How can this be so simple?"

"Do you think that with the emperor's marriage, you will be safe? On the contrary, no matter what it is, with the emperor's intervention, the matter will become more complicated."

"You think, if Yan Jiulan surrenders to the enemy and treason in the future, the emperor will definitely want to implicate him in the nine clans in his anger, and the prime minister's mansion will be his Yue family, and the emperor will never let him go."

"But our prime minister's mansion has the imperial decree that the emperor once bestowed marriage, which means that we became relatives with Yan Jiulan only according to the emperor's decree. This imperial decree will put the emperor in a dilemma—"

"You said that under such circumstances, the emperor would blame himself for blindly giving such a son-in-law to the prime minister's mansion, or blame our prime minister's mansion for not causing trouble like Yan Jiulan?"

Hearing this, Zhen Baoshu's heart sank to the bottom.

She understood what Daddy meant.

The emperor is the son of heaven, and the emperor will never make mistakes, and it will always be someone else who is at fault.

So if there is such a day, the emperor will never admit that he was blind and gave the wrong marriage, and he will only become more angry and hate the prime minister's mansion——

After all, who made Yan Jiulan fancy the daughter of the prime minister's mansion? If Yan Jiulan hadn't come to propose a marriage, how could his wise old man give the wrong marriage?

Therefore, everything was Yan Jiulan's fault, it was her Zhen Baoshu's fault, and it was the Prime Minister's fault.

After she figured it out, she left without disturbing her parents in the study.

Walking in the moonlight, she sighed helplessly.

The trick of bestowing a marriage is absolutely unacceptable, and absolutely cannot drag the emperor into trouble.

It seems that Yan Jiulan can only play the role of a bully and forcefully marry her back home.

Zhen Baoshu returned to the room with a heavy heart.

Just after washing, the beauty mother came again.

She held her forehead helplessly, well, tonight is another night of surveillance.

……

The next day.

Main courtyard dining room.

Zhen Baoshu ate with her mother and her five-year-old brother.

"Shu'er, your Aunt Zheng and cousin are going to Wei Guogong's mansion to see your elder sister today, you go with them."

"Okay."

Zhen Baoshu put down her chopsticks and nodded obediently.

Her eldest sister, Zhen Baochan, married into Wei Guogong's mansion last year. She often went to see her eldest sister, and her mother asked her to accompany Aunt Zheng's mother and daughter. She didn't think there was anything wrong.

But Niangqin's next words made her heart rise to her throat in an instant——
