Chapter 370 Zhao Hai is back!
Shen Ruyi, together with her mother and grandmother, discussed how to arrange Lu Mei's marriage in a more graceful way.
Fu Wanying suggested: "Find a group of people to go to the alley under the overpass and expose the identities of the mistress and her son, and then let the elders of the Lu family openly propose to cancel the engagement."
Shen disagreed and said, "Wanying's idea is good, but it's not right. If this is the case, what if the Zhao family refuses to admit it? If the elders of the Lu family go there, it will be just a figment of the imagination. Even if we cancel the engagement, the Zhao family may bite back. Ah Mei's marriage was not canceled in an upright manner, and I'm afraid she will be criticized in the future."
The old lady of the Wei family shook her head and said, "We can't delay any longer. Ah Mei is so old now. The Zhao family has a mistress and a mistress there. They are just waiting for the Lu family to ask for the wedding. Lu Mei will have to accept the mistress. The Zhao family is doing this on purpose!"
Shen Ruyi nodded: "Now the Zhao family can't lay eggs without fighting, but they let the concubine go out and flaunt it everywhere, just to force the Lu family to urge the marriage, and then force the concubine's child to Lu Mei!
They felt that Lu Mei was already eighteen years old and it was impossible for her not to be anxious to get married. If she married and became the mistress of the family, she would just be raising someone else's son.
But Lu Mei simply couldn't swallow this humiliation, and now our third brother has set his eyes on Lu Mei, so we must cancel this marriage for her.
Now I want to discuss this with Mu Wan tomorrow. We don’t have to worry about their family denying this matter. We have to find a way to make the identities of the mistress and her son public!"
Fu Wanying: "Ruyi, can you tell me how to get them to take the initiative to admit their identities? They are not stupid, so I guess they can't do it!"
Shen Ruyi smiled, "That concubine is so arrogant, so why not start with her? Doesn't she want to show off? Then find an excuse to blackmail her, and then ask her for money, and force her to go to the Zhao Mansion to get the silver and settle the matter!"
Fu Wanying smiled and said, "That's not easy. She will definitely go to Ruyi Clothing Shop to buy clothes. As long as we spread the news near her home and say that Ruyi Clothing Shop has some good clothes, she will definitely be tempted. It is said that the mistress goes to Ruyi Clothing Shop every month to try on clothes. I just don't know if she will buy anything?"
Shen Ruyi smiled and said, "I will ask Third Brother to help with this matter later. This matter is for him, so he must put in some effort!
By then, I will have someone tamper with the shop and let the mistress take away some clothes. If she can't pay the money, she will have to call for help, and then let my third brother take action!
I'm sure that kid surnamed Zhao will be unable to sit still and will come over to support foreign affairs. When that happens, let my third brother beat him up and then take him to Jingzhao Prefecture.
The plan was to let Lu Mei attend the trial as an auditor. By then, the whole capital would know that Zhao Qiangjun had a mistress outside. He stood up for his mistress and refused to pay his debts. He dared to refuse to pay the debt to Ruyi Clothing Shop, so he was sent to the authorities and beaten with a stick. In the end, he was met by his serious fiancée.
The elders and brothers of the Lu family should cancel the engagement openly!
By then, everyone in the capital will know how shameless the Zhao family is and how they bullied Lu Mei before. They will be humiliated!
After the engagement is cancelled, before my second brother gets married, you can find a matchmaker to go to the grandmother of the Lu family and ask for marriage in person!"
Shen tapped her daughter's nose and said, "Oh! You have too many tricks. Mother listens to them one by one!
All right! Ah Mei's marriage is cancelled, and mother will personally find a matchmaker to marry Ah Mei to your third brother. Then your grandmother will be able to marry a satisfactory granddaughter-in-law again."
The old lady of the Wei family smiled and said, "That's great! I like this child, Ah Mei. Her grandmother is my old sister. In the future, our two families will be relatives!"
Happy times are always short. The prince and his wife took their children to play at Yue’s house for a long time, and then they had to say goodbye to everyone in the Prince’s Mansion!
Qin Beiyu took his wife and two children, bid farewell to his father-in-law and his family, and returned to the East Palace.
The whole family was very tired when they returned to the East Palace. After dinner, the children washed up early and started looking for their mother to go to bed.
The man carried the sleeping children to the big bed. Shen Ruyi and her husband huddled together, kissing each other. The man was aroused and panted and asked, "Ruyi, when can you satisfy your cousin's craving?"
Shen Ruyi looked at her man and stretched out her little hand to draw circles on his chest. "Not these few days. It will take some time for the baby to settle down before you can gently..."
The man kissed the woman's hand and said, "Okay! Your man always listens to you. I have no experience in your pregnancy. When you were pregnant with Ping Ping An An, I was not by your side. This time I will protect you and your child from pregnancy to delivery."
The woman was extremely satisfied listening to the man's sincerity and love. She leaned over and kissed the man on the lips.
"Thank you, cousin. I know you love me and I love you too! I hope that my cousin and I can stay like this for the rest of our lives, with a mutual understanding and a happy life..."
The man hugged the chubby little girl, feeling extremely satisfied. He looked at the ceiling of the dragon and phoenix bed, "Ruyi, I have sent people to investigate today. It is true that Zhao Hai is coming back soon and will return to the capital in two days.
It is said that he had sent a memorial to the Emperor several months ago, because his wife learned that their daughter had met with misfortune and had fallen seriously ill, and had finally recovered, so he returned to the capital for this trip!
Originally, he came back to attend a funeral. His mother unfortunately passed away because of Zhao Manman's death. However, his wife had been stationed in the army for more than half a year, so he came back only then.
The death of Zhao Manman was a serious blow to them..."
Shen Ruyi sighed, and she leaned against the man's chest: "Cousin, her family's grief over the loss of their loved ones is indeed sympathetic, but Zhao Manman really brought this upon herself!
If she didn't commit suicide, she wouldn't die. I think General Zhao Hai is a smart man. We have explained the facts to him, and he will know the right from the wrong.
Our children are her creation, otherwise how could I have had children out of wedlock and suffered so much…”
Qin Beiyu sighed and hugged his little man tightly, "Ah! Ruyi, don't worry, I know Zhao Hai, he is a man of integrity and a rare talent.
Even if he is resentful about the death of his daughter and mother, if we explain it clearly to him, he will not vent his anger on anyone else!
Zhao Hai treats Wan Lin and me as his master, and he also loves us as an elder. Wan Lin and I also respect him. Wan Lin told me about this matter. He will leave the city in advance to communicate with General Zhao Hai. Ruyi... Ruyi, are you asleep..."
Shen Ruyi has already gone to bed, and she is not on the same wavelength as her man...
Two days later, Wei Wanlin left the capital early in the morning and flew north for dozens of miles to meet General Zhao Hai.
Wei Wanlin talked with General Zhao Hai in the post station for more than an hour, and then returned to the capital with Zhao Hai.
General Zhao Hai went straight into the palace and met with the new emperor and Crown Prince Qin Beiyu. In the imperial study, Zhao Hai performed the great ceremony between an emperor and his subject and kowtowed to the new emperor, Emperor Jin An!
Emperor An of Jin smiled amiably and said, "Prince, help the general up quickly. He has worked hard on his journey!"
Qin Beiyu helped Zhao Hai up, and the two looked at each other with tears in their eyes. Qin Beiyu hadn't seen Zhao Hai for so many years, and he saw that he was indeed old, with more than half of his hair white.
Zhao Hai looked up at Qin Beiyu with tears in his eyes, "After a few years of separation, Your Highness has become more mature and stable. It turns out that Your Highness is a natural born king!"
Looking at his master, Qin Beiyu patted his shoulder and said, "General, your demeanor remains the same as before. Are you tired after traveling for days? Come and sit down and have a rest..."
Zhao Hai was pulled to sit down by Qin Beiyu. He reported the situation in the northern border to Emperor Jin An, and then said that he asked for leave to come back to celebrate his mother's anniversary. The reason he did not come back immediately after submitting the report last time was because his wife was ill. Now that his wife is better, he rushed back.
Emperor An of Jin nodded and said, "The general is a filial son. Father had told you that you would come back to attend the funeral, but due to family matters and my ascension to the throne, I forgot that you did not come back. Bei Yu and I are very ashamed!
The general was loyal to the prince as his teacher. The prince and I have always been grateful for the general's noble character!
How about this, when your mother’s anniversary comes, the prince will come to the mansion to pay tribute and represent the royal family to attend the anniversary of the old lady in the Zhao mansion.”
Zhao Hai quickly stood up and knelt to thank God for his grace. He knew that as a subject, it was such an honor for his family to have the royal prince personally come to celebrate his mother's anniversary celebration!
