The mistress of the Hou family went crazy after doting on concubines and killing their wives.

Chapter 15 Provocation
Lu Wan said calmly, "Even after death, the power is still there. Mr. Xie's official career is not going well, and the descendants of the Xie family are incompetent. It is unclear whether the emperor will change the title of Crown Prince."

"But Xie Zhiyan is the direct bloodline of my original wife, the Prince of Jin Wenhou who was personally named by the emperor. He is the only top-ranked scholar in our dynasty, and his reputation is still alive in life. When I marry, I will be the wife of the crown prince, and then I will choose someone from the Xie family. If the child is adopted into my name, won’t the Marquis still be in my hands?”

Mrs. Lu's eyes widened in surprise.

She has protected her title all her life and knows very well that it is hard to keep and win.

The little girl thought clearly and made a good point.

"Without Prince Xie in the Marquis of Jin Wen, who do you think can be successful? Is it Xie Huaiyu? Apart from being able to write sour poems on romantic and snowy nights, what else can he do? Why should we help a bunch of mud who can't hold up the wall?"

Lu Wan secretly pouted at herself.

I was blind in my previous life, but I was blinded by Xie Huaiyu's sour poems.

Mrs. Lu was extremely shocked.

Lu Wan was only sixteen years old, but the city was so deep that she could thoroughly analyze the power struggles among the wealthy families.

After her analysis, it was really more beneficial to the Lu family to marry a dead person.

Seeing that her words had an effect, Lu Wan smiled inwardly.

Then take another dose of strong medicine.

He leaned closer and whispered, "The reason why you want to marry the Xie family is just to help your father and fourth uncle. Prince Xie's biological uncle is the Minister of War. Do you think he will become a widower because I am willing to marry Prince Xie? Is this a favor from our Hou family?"

"Besides, I'm afraid you have heard a little bit about how Mrs. Is power creeping up on you to show off your power?"

"Grandma, you are a noble girl who married into the Marquis's mansion through the front door. She is worthy of being on an equal footing with you?"

These few words hit Mrs. Lu in the lungs.

This is where she feels most aggrieved.

Mrs. Xie was born as a concubine of a nearby family. She took advantage of the situation when her first wife was ill. Before Mrs. Hou's body was cold, she quietly married into the Hou Mansion and became his stepmother, and quickly took control of the Hou Mansion's financial rights.

This matter has always been a matter of disdain among the ladies of high-ranking families.

Grandma was the strongest in her life. She was stepped on by a dirty person and was forced to accept that Yu Churong had become a piece of trash. Naturally, she felt unhappy.

"You are right, but how do you explain it to the imperial concubine?"

Lu Wan was relieved when he heard this. With Mrs. Lu's support, it would be much easier.

She hugged Mrs. Lu's arm: "Grandma, my granddaughter is the daughter of the Lu family. She is on the same boat as the Lu family. Naturally, she will not let the Lu family suffer disaster for disobeying the holy order."

"You think, if you force me to be humiliated, I would rather die than give in! Even if she is a noble concubine, she cannot force me to death. The Duke of Qin will not agree if she knows it. Isn't she afraid of being impeached by Yushitai and affecting the eldest prince? Wasn't my granddaughter just now? As I said, Crown Prince Xie has the support of the emperor and the prince. My mother and the queen are close friends, do we need to be afraid of a noble concubine? "

Lu Wan seemed to be right.

Mrs. Lu sighed heavily, "You have grown up and have made up your mind. Marriage is a major matter, related to your happiness, and grandma supports you. It's just...it's too unfair for you to be the outsider with such a distinguished status."

Lu Wan felt cold in her heart.

But superficial work still needs to be done.

She murmured sweetly, "Wan'er knows that my grandmother loves me the most. Even if Wan'er is a little girl, she is still the help of our Wu'an Marquis Mansion. If uncle Xie Shizi doesn't help my fourth uncle, then there won't be any grandmother."

Lu Wan's fourth uncle was conceived by Mrs. Lu when she was forty years old. She doted on him very much. Later, something big happened and she was forced to leave Beijing. This was Mrs. Lu's heartache.

Mrs. Lu let out a long sigh, "Hey, if Prince Xie were still alive, this would be an excellent marriage."

Lu Wan smiled lowly, "If he were alive, I wouldn't have a chance to marry him. There are so many noble girls who want to marry him, but he is already twenty-four, who is he interested in?" Mrs. Lu murmured strangely. He glared at her and said, "What are you talking about? My Wan'er is even comparable to a princess. If your grandmother hadn't said that you were not allowed to marry into the royal family, you would have been more than enough to be a princess."

Lu Wan pursed her lips and smiled but did not answer.

It would be a good marriage if Xie Zhiyan was dead, and she would not marry a living person.

Lu Wan helped Mrs. Lu into the main hall with a smile. Mrs. Xie and Mr. Xie also had smiles on their faces, and they each held up their wine glasses with a smile.

"Old sister, I wish our two families a happy marriage. From now on, our two families will support each other. I will do it first as a tribute to my sister." Mrs. Xie raised her glass and drank it down in one gulp.

Mrs. Lu held the wine glass and smiled, "Jin Shu, it's time to celebrate."

Mrs. Xie's name is Lu Jinshu, and she knew Mrs. Lu before she got married.

Mrs. Xie was just about to answer, but Mrs. Lu changed the topic and spoke first, "However, you know that Wan'er's mother and the queen are close friends. If I force her to endure the humiliation and marry the second young master Xie, Mr. Qin will The Taijun and the Queen will not agree, so I am afraid I have to go to heaven to plead guilty to the Duke of Qin."

Two big hats were pressed down, and everyone in the room was stunned.

Lu Wan sneered in her heart, knowing that her mother and grandmother would move out now.

"Zhao Linyi! You are going back on your word! Do the Lu family want to openly resist the decree?" Mrs. Xie was furious and slammed the wine glass in her hand on the table.

Mrs. Lu's face suddenly sank when she was called by her first name.

Lu Wan was right, Lu Jinshu, a bed-crawling concubine who had no place on the stage, actually wanted to ride on her head and shit!
Lu Wan gently patted her grandmother's hand that was shaking with anger.

Her tone was calm: "Mrs. Xie, the emperor granted me the marriage because he thought that Mr. Xie and I were in love with each other. He had good intentions and hoped that the two families would be united forever. But if Mr. Xie doesn't like me and has an affair before we are married, I will be humiliated. You have to be forced to enter the house, the matter spreads out, the Yushitai impeaches you, and the emperor's face becomes tarnished. Who do you think the emperor will blame?"

"You!" Madam Xie stared at Lu Wan.

The sixteen-year-old girl's waist was straight and her eyes were filled with ice. She looked directly at her without any hint of timidity.

For a moment, Mrs. Xie felt that she was not a little girl, and those dark eyes concealed deep thoughts.

Second Master Xie frowned, "Lu Wan, the invitations to my Xie Mansion have been sent out for the wedding the day after tomorrow. Do you want us to make a fool of ourselves? Your Lu Mansion will be embarrassed just like the Duke of Qin!"

Lu Wan smiled and said, "It's useless for Mr. Xie to threaten my Lu family. It's better to think about how to solve this problem satisfactorily. You won't offend the imperial concubine, you won't make the emperor Long Yan angry, and everyone will be happy."

Mrs. Xie sneered, "I'd like to hear what method you have to get the best of both worlds."

"Of course I will follow the emperor's order and marry into the Xie family, but the person I want to marry is the Crown Prince Xie."

"what!"

Mrs. Xie, Second Master Xie and Mr. Zeng all screamed in surprise.

Zhao Ruyi, who was hiding behind the crowd, was overjoyed and pricked up his ears to listen carefully.

Lu Wan calmly held out two fingers, "Two ways, one way, the Lu family will carry my body into Xie Huaiyu's new house. The other way, the wedding will be held as usual, and I will become the wife of Prince Xie."

Xie Huaiyu's eyes widened. He didn't expect that Lu Wan would rather marry a dead person than marry him.

However, it just so happens that if this happens, his grandmother will allow him to marry Yu Churong, right?

But under the current circumstances, he didn't dare to ask.

Madam Xie was so angry that she calculated all the benefits, but the benefits went to her original wife's eldest daughter's house!
