Chapter 290 Why does this plot feel so familiar?
Lu Xinran always thought that she would have pre-marital phobia, but the closer the wedding date got, the more at ease she felt.
So much dowry... Even if she and Song Junyan become partners again in the future, with so many businesses in her hands, she can still live a very comfortable life.
If that day really comes, he will take a concubine and she will raise a puppy, and the two of them may even be able to exchange their experiences~
Thinking of this, her fear of getting married was reduced to the lowest level.
The night before the wedding, Lu Xinlan brought Tang Chongli back to the Lu Mansion.
She had come back once before to bring some dowry to Lu Xinran, but she only stayed in the mansion for half a day that time, and was even talked to by Zhao for a long time. She didn't talk to Lu Xinran for a long time.
She was always thinking about her dreamy sister, and was afraid that as the wedding date approached, she would become afraid of the upcoming new life.
On the ninth day of December, he returned to Lu Mansion early in the morning.
After entering the house and greeting Pei and others, he immediately went to Lu Xinran's courtyard. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard laughter coming from the room.
Zhang Shuier and Tang Wanrou had already arrived and were talking to Lu Xinran in private.
"Sister-in-law."
When Tang Wanrou saw Lu Xinlan come in, she immediately stood up and went to greet him.
During this period of time, everything that happened at home would also be reported to her.
She knew that Lu Xinlan insisted on having another child in two years, and she also knew that her mother was extremely dissatisfied with this.
She was caught in the middle and was torn between two options, so she just pretended she knew nothing.
Lu Xinlan smiled and nodded to her, but her eyes fell on Lu Xinran who was smiling brightly.
"Is my sister's body fully recovered?"
"I've taken good care of myself. All the supplements my grandmother took have made me fat."
When talking about her rounder waist, she felt a little sad.
She tried on her wedding dress a few days ago and almost couldn't fasten her waist belt.
She still cannot forget the shock that was barely concealed on the face of the palace maid who came to deliver the dress.
Lu Xinlan looked at her plump cheeks and pinched them with amusement: "It's better to be a little fatter. Fat people are blessed. Our Xinran is the most blessed girl."
Lu Xinran: “…”
She always felt that the other party was just trying to fool her, but she had no evidence.
After they chatted and laughed for a while, Lu Xinlan finally felt relieved.
It seems that the silly girl is much better than she expected.
"An interesting thing happened in the capital recently. Do you know?"
Zhang Shui'er suddenly lowered her voice stealthily, her big eyes rolling around, obviously trying to get some inside information from Lu Xinran.
Lu Xinran looked at her with a smile, wanting to know what interesting story she was talking about.
"You all know about the wedding of the Prince of Jin, right? It is said that on the wedding day, the Prince of Jin did not consummate his marriage with the Princess of Jin. Instead, he was called away by a favored concubine in his mansion claiming to be sick, and he stayed in the concubine's room for the entire night."
Lu Xinran: “…”
This plot always feels so familiar.
Many of the novels she read in her previous life seemed to have this kind of clichéd plot.
"What happened next? Didn't Han Jingyun make a scene?"
Lu Xinran recalled the brief encounter with Han Jingyun; that man didn't seem to have a good temper.
"Of course she made a scene. It was her wedding night, and the groom just left her like that. She was humiliated and became a complete laughing stock. How could she possibly swallow this?"
Zhang Shui'er became more and more excited as she spoke, and seeing that everyone was looking at her with great interest, her voice suddenly rose a few notches.
He raised his hand and made a hook, motioning for them to come closer.
"But you should all know more or less about the character of the Prince of Jin. This marriage was originally arranged for him by Concubine Hua. After Concubine Hua died, he originally wanted to break off the engagement for the sake of his concubine, but it was said that he was reprimanded by His Majesty.
“And His Majesty has made it clear that this marriage cannot be cancelled, and Han Jingyun cannot be neglected, otherwise he will order his concubine to be executed directly.
"Prince Jin was holding a grudge, so on the wedding night, his concubine found an excuse to call him, and he left immediately."
Lu Xinran clicked his tongue twice, recalling what he had seen when he went to worship his ancestors before.
No wonder I felt that Song Junhua was always distant from Han Jingyun and always looked dissatisfied. He felt that she had taken the place of his sweetheart.
It was a novel feeling to hear such a big news from someone else's mouth, and she listened with great interest.
"What happened next? What happened to Han Jingyun?"
"Prince Jin didn't treat her well and never consummated his marriage with her. She first reported it to the Queen Mother, who had no choice but to tell His Majesty and my aunt about it.
"Your Majesty summoned the Prince of Jin to the palace and reprimanded him again. Since the Prince of Jin had been reprimanded by Your Majesty twice, he must be even more unwilling to treat her well.
"No one knows whether they have consummated their marriage yet. Everyone is guessing how long Prince Jin can hold out."
If true love is really invincible, he would rather be scolded by the emperor again and again for the sake of that concubine.
Lu Xinran smacked her lips. It was a pity that Han Jingyun was not there, otherwise she could have flipped through his booklet.
"You will be getting married tomorrow. The Prince of Jin should bring his wife to the Prince of Wei's mansion."
Zhang Shui'er winked and made faces, the implication of which was already very obvious.
Lu Xinran suppressed the smile that was about to come to his lips, and hummed in a serious tone: "You guys try to test the servants around her tomorrow, and we'll listen to the fun together."
Thinking about the big news about Song Junhua and Han Jingyun, she felt for the first time that time was passing so slowly.
Even the wedding the next day no longer made her worry or anxious.
Zhang Shui'er originally wanted to stay at the Lu family that night, but she noticed that the two sisters had something to talk about in private, so she went back to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion with Tang Wanrou in the evening, preparing to come back early the next morning.
As soon as they left, the other relatives and friends in the house also tactfully returned to their respective rooms, leaving only the two sisters in the room.
Lu Xinran took Lu Xinlan's hand and looked him up and down.
"I heard that you and Liu had a very unhappy relationship?"
No matter how open-minded and generous Liu is, he is still a native of this time and space. He must want to have descendants to continue the Tang family's bloodline.
Lu Xinlan made it clear that she wanted to have a child after she turned 20, which was undoubtedly a naked challenge to her authority.
As a mother-in-law, she can find countless ways to torture Lu Xinlan as long as she wants.
"It is a little unpleasant, but it is to be expected. Don't worry, it will be resolved before the end of the year at the latest."
As long as she insisted on not having a baby and kept using the contraceptive soup, it would be of no use even if Mrs. Liu was dissatisfied.
It was she who entered the gate of the Tang Mansion in a sedan chair carried by eight people, and it was she who announced to the whole city that she was marrying her daughter-in-law. Even if she was dissatisfied with her, she would not risk her own dignity by making this matter known to everyone.
Moreover, Tang Chongli had no objection to this and simply stood on her side. This was also what made Liu most angry and upset.
"I didn't expect my brother-in-law to be so nice to my sister."
It was hard to believe that Tang Chongli, who was always well-mannered, would disobey his mother.
Lu Xinlan couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips when she thought of Tang Chongli's expression, fearing that she would dislike him.
"He is indeed very good."
Not only did he stand firmly beside her, but he also went to see the imperial physician for fear that the contraceptive soup would harm her body, so he was the one who took the contraceptive soup.
His behavior made Liu feel unwilling and helpless. She could give up her daughter-in-law, but she could not give up her son.
