Chapter 170 Father and Son

"If Madam has no other advice, please allow me to leave. I still have homework to do when I go back." Lin Sizan said.

Madam Lu naturally wouldn't force her to stay, and said, "Then don't bother the girl."

Lin Siran was able to maintain a steady pace at first, but after leaving the imperial garden, she couldn't help but run away in a hurry, as if something was chasing her behind.

Shame almost overwhelmed her.

Only then did she realize that she had actually been waiting for news from Lu Jinnian these days, but she didn't expect such news to come.

Reasonable, but unexpected.

She had reminded herself a long time ago not to have delusional thoughts, Lu Jinnian was definitely not someone she could imagine.

Sui'er looked at Lin Siran's back, worriedly chased after her, and said, "Miss, don't be sad, the Lu family doesn't like us, and we don't like his family, what's the big deal?"

"Don't talk about it, they are already very polite. Even if they refuse, they still maintain my dignity. What else can I complain about?" Lin Sian didn't have any resentment, she just felt that she shouldn't have those thoughts.

But Sui'er said distressedly: "It's not you who asked to marry Mr. Lu, it's obviously..."

Although Sui'er didn't know about Lu Jinnian's confession, she, a bystander, could clearly see Mr. Lu's feelings for Lin Siran when he was on Dongshan Mountain. On the contrary, Lin Siran had been deliberately refusing to avoid him.

Lin Sizan stopped Sui'er with his eyes, and said, "Don't mention this matter again, just pretend it never happened."

"En." Sui'er replied, knowing that Lin Siran was feeling uncomfortable, so she refused to say any more.

She thought that this matter was over for good, and since then, there should be no chance to interact with the Lu family and Lu Jinnian, but she didn't know that that night, she received a letter from Lu Jinnian in the crack of the door.

In the letter, he deviates from his gentle and refined attitude, and the tone of the letter is very firm and decisive.

What he said was that it was absolutely unacceptable for Lin Sizan to go back on his word, he would definitely marry her, and told her not to listen to anyone but him, and to stay obediently in the palace until he took her out of the palace.

Lin Siran felt a little helpless, and burned the letter, but didn't take it to heart.

No matter what Lu Jinnian said, Mrs. Lu's attitude naturally represented Lu Xiang's attitude. If his parents couldn't pass the test, what's the point of insisting on it?Even if it is Lu Jinnian, it is impossible to resolutely disobey the orders of his parents. That is unfilial. Once the hat of unfilial piety is lifted, he will be nailed to the pillar of shame, and he will no longer be able to gain a foothold in the world.

What's more, what Lu Jinnian has to face is not only patriarchy?And monarchy.

Even if the emperor hasn't expressed it yet, judging from the occasional news that Peiyao came to convey, it's no accident that she will definitely enter the harem, and her status will not be too low from the beginning.

Concubine Hui has already begun to pave the way for her.

Lin Siran was not happy at all.

She didn't know that after Lu Jinnian wrote the letter to her, he had been confronting Lu, and even took the initiative to go on a hunger strike.

The Lu family was disturbed because of the confrontation between Eldest Young Master Lu and Lu Xiang, father and son.

Mrs. Lu tried to persuade her several times, but was also treated coldly by Lu Jinnian.

A Mo persuaded Lu Jinnian to eat, but was also scolded.

Three days later, Lu Xiang finally couldn't stand it anymore and went to the door in person.

"Jin Nian, how long are you going to make trouble?" Lu Xiang had a straight face, full of his father's dignity, but when he saw his son's indifferent eyes, he still had a moment of panic.

Lu Jinnian put down the book in his hand, and said in a lukewarm tone, "I've made it clear to my father that I want to marry Miss Lin."

"Nonsense, you are nonsense!" Lu Xiang said angrily, "You know that she is the woman His Majesty likes, so are you going to fight with His Majesty? What's more, what kind of family is the Lin family, how can they be worthy of me, Lu?" The eldest son of the family?"

Lu Jinnian scoffed at this argument and said, "I'm just a cripple. Speaking of it, I'm the only one who doesn't deserve others, but I don't care about whether I'm worthy or not. I've been selfish and willful for once in my life. With a crippled body, And protect her for the rest of her life.”

Lu Xiang didn't expect his son to say that.

In his impression, his son has been different from ordinary people since he was a child, extremely intelligent, but since his leg was crippled, his temper has become colder day by day. At home, except for his little sister Lu Qianxue, he smiled In addition, seeing others is like not seeing them, indifferent and alienated, and he doesn't even smile at him as a father.

He is highly respected in the court, and he is also very beautiful and admired outside, but in front of his son, he is often a little embarrassed. He wants to get close, but he is afraid of being hurt by his son's indifference.

For many years, the father and son had nothing to say.

But Lu Xiang clearly remembered that he had hugged his son, full of pride.

If Lu Jinnian hadn't been unable to move his legs, he would definitely be the leader of the next generation of the Lu family. He could even surpass himself and his predecessors and push the Lu family into a more brilliant future.

But after all, it was because of these legs that ruined the hope of the next generation of the Lu family.

Since then, Lu Jinnian has no interest in official career, let alone worldly affairs, and even refuses to rely on in-law relationship to maintain the status of the Lu family's first family.

But at this time, he was so stubborn to marry Lin Siran who was of no benefit to the Lu family's status and glory, which really made Lu Xiang very puzzled.

"What's so good about that little girl? What kind of ecstasy did you feed her?" Lu Xiang asked with a bitter sigh.

Lu Jinnian had a bit of anger in his eyes, and said, "Father, please don't slander her so casually!"

Lu Xiang also knew that he had made a slip of the tongue. He had never met Lin Siran and had no right to comment on others at will.

"Okay, I take back my words, but Jinnian, even if father doesn't care about her poor family background, he can't agree to you to marry her. If there is no accident, she will definitely become a concubine. Do you want father to marry her?" Are you going to beg for someone from His Majesty?" Lu Xiang asked helplessly.

Lu Jinnian said: "Father was able to work together with the first queen mother to force His Majesty to give up his beloved, and choose one of the Wang's daughters, but now he can't make His Majesty give up Lin Siran for the sake of his son? Compared to the Queen, a little beautiful girl , is it really insignificant?"

Lu Xiang's face changed greatly, he was startled and angry: "What kind of bastard are you talking about? Are you trying to force your father to death by saying that? What do you mean I and the first queen mother will join forces to persecute His Majesty? How dare you speak so rebelliously? Say it casually?"

Lu Jinnian didn't take it seriously, and said, "It's not a secret, why should father be nervous? You have been cautious all these years, isn't it because you are afraid that if you are not careful, His Majesty will catch you and settle old scores with you? Our Majesty is still a wise king. It is not necessary to avenge private revenge, of course...the matter back then was not something that my father could decide on his own, His Majesty was just compromising with the aristocratic family due to the situation."

The corner of Lu Jinnian's mouth was mocking, and he didn't take Lu Xiang's innocent expression seriously at all, as if he had poked his father's sore spot, but made him feel happy instead.
