The old lady is reborn

After Rong Yunhai returned home, he went to find his grandmother. After hesitating for a long time, he finally asked if his family was arranging a marriage for him.

After hearing this, Song Ying looked outside the door and saw three little people standing outside, looking around.

When Rong Yunmiao saw her grandmother looking at her, she quickly shrank back and hid behind her third and second brothers.

Song Ying could only say, "Grandmother is helping you find someone, and we haven't reached the stage of discussing marriage yet."

Seeing that her grandmother was not angry, Rong Yunmiao jumped out and threw herself into Song Ying's arms, saying to her, "Grandma, I met my sister-in-law today!"

He stretched out his hand and drew a circle: "We all four have seen it!"

Song Ying was surprised when she heard this and asked, "Is this girl in Kyoto?"

Yan Danqi and the maid over there also misunderstood.

Her family is probably already arranging a marriage for her, otherwise the girl's words would be so convincing.

Since he has seen the portrait, recognized his own lady and could call out her name, it is likely that the adults of the two families have already discussed it and even exchanged engagement letters.

Yan Danqi thought that since the marriage proposal was made in the capital, it was probably her uncle who introduced her. No wonder his words seemed to be sending her back to her hometown. This was probably the formal matchmaking process of the three letters and six ceremonies.

I was fourteen years old, and after finishing all these, I had to move from my hometown to get married. According to the usual age of sixteen, it would only take about a year to prepare.

Yan Danqi thought, from what the girl said, that family's surname is Rong, and he didn't know what kind of family they were.

Both grandfathers were doctors, but my own grandfather later devoted more energy to opening pharmacies and clinics.

When it came to his father, he continued to open new stores in Huyang County and the two surrounding counties, especially pharmacies. It now seems difficult to say that his family is a doctor.

My family is now more like a merchant. I don't know what this family does, it would be fine if they are also merchants.

If not, would he look down on me for being a merchant's daughter? Although I like Kyoto, I have never thought of marrying far away, the mountains are high and the waters are far away... That big brother Rong Yunhai seems to be quite nice...

Yan Danqi was thinking about many things and couldn't fall asleep.

Lu Dekai's wife discovered the relationship between her husband and the imperial concubine in the palace many years ago.

The passionate love letters between the two were so bold and passionate that even Sun Xinyi felt flustered.

At that time, his whole mind seemed to be tied to the person in the palace, and he was absent-minded and distracted when he was at home.

The letters in the study were getting thicker and thicker. Sun Xinyi would not even disrupt the order when reading the letters. She would put them back to their original place after reading them and continued to live a peaceful life.

But at first, she felt sad, angry, and frightened. This was a crime that would lead to the confiscation of property and the extermination of the entire clan.

It would be fine if he was just extremely lewd, but was he going to drag his own family and his wife's family into the grave with him?

Thinking of this, Sun Xinyi also proposed a divorce when she returned to her parents' home.

But she couldn't give a specific reason. The two seemed to respect each other and lived a peaceful life. In the eyes of their elders, they were a good couple and there was really no reason for them to separate.

Sun Xinyi, who was of a calm and gentle nature, had no choice but to continue living her life in fear.

Things in the world are sometimes so strange. When Lu Dekai and the imperial concubine were in love with each other, he was also annoyed by the girl's bad temper.

She spoke in a coquettish voice and walked in an unruly manner, not like a lady from a noble family.

But when the two of them really separated and he married a wife he thought was good, Lu Dekai suddenly became concerned about the concubine he had missed.

Perhaps the one who was not married is always a regret in life. Lu Dekai's life after marriage was uneventful. He was not valued either in the family or in the officialdom.

In Kyoto, a small official like him was as insignificant as the sand on the beach.

The one who entered the palace as a concubine has been doing very well in the past few years and is the most favored one in the harem. Looking at the wife who made him satisfied in the past, she now looks ordinary.

After the imperial concubine's repeated teasing, he, who had been frustrated in everything, finally came up with the idea that it is a waste of youth to be reckless, to die under the peony flowers, and to be a romantic ghost.

Perhaps it is this extraordinary taboo that brings extraordinary joy.

For quite a long time, Lu Dekai felt that this lost and recovered imperial concubine was his goddess and his life.

Even if he really has to sacrifice his life, he will drink this cup of poison. Today we are in love, tomorrow we become a ghost, and there is no regret. In the sky, we are together, on the ground, we are together.

But no matter how high the flame burns, it will eventually die out.

As he grew older and made continuous progress in official circles in recent years, his status within the family also rose.

He gradually lost this enthusiasm, and felt that he was young, impulsive and inconsiderate, and almost brought the entire family to a catastrophic disaster.

The satisfaction that comes from a sense of power is far greater than the satisfaction that comes from having sex with a woman.

And after he gained power and status, wouldn't it be easy for him to want different women? Among the gifts sent by his subordinates from all over the country, there were fourteen-year-old girls, like flowers in bud waiting to bloom.

His heart began to lean towards his own stable and decent life.

His wife is a typical lady from a wealthy family, the mistress of the household trained by the family. She is always at the side of the husband and has been with him for almost ten years.

After having been secretly dating the imperial concubine for several years, he broke up with her. Once he made up his mind, he broke up with her ruthlessly.

When Sun Xinyi read the letter, she found out that the imperial concubine broke down and cried and tried all kinds of soft and hard methods to keep him. His love was her only hope in the boring life in the deep palace with an old man.

But judging from the letters, Lu Dekai never replied. He used to be a humble clerk, and this woman's love for him might have made him feel that he had defeated the powerful man in another way.

But now that he has established himself in the officialdom of Kyoto and is on the rise, his entanglement with this woman makes him feel that he could have become a famous official. Is he now going to be given the same reputation as the male favorite Lao Ai?

This woman would become a stain on him, a stain that would go down in history. Her entangled look also made him disgusted and irritated.

After the death of the previous emperor, the imperial concubine lost her support and had too many lives on her hands, and was filled with resentment.

Another important minister entrusted with the care of the young emperor, Cheng Hanzhi, proposed stripping off all titles and identities and reducing her to commoners. She murdered and wrongly accused many people, but those orders were issued by the late emperor.

Sentenced to twenty years in prison, after all she is the Ninth Prince's biological mother, so she should be spared.

Lu Dekai proposed to hang her in public to appease the public anger, so that everyone would not transfer their resentment to the Ninth Prince. Saving her life would only make the Ninth Prince the target of public criticism.

If this woman didn't die, he would not want to be a minister entrusted with the care of the young emperor.
