Chapter 808: Cousin

"Auntie, do I have to marry that Fan Lingyi?"

Mandan looked ignorant!

He didn't quite know what it meant to take a wife.

"I like the county lord of Furong, why can't the county lord go to Rongguo with me?"

"That Fan Lingyi looks about the same age as my aunt, should I call her aunt?" Mandan asked.

Qiu Niang smiled and said, "Miss Fan is much younger than my aunt."

He turned his back but frowned.

Qiu Niang didn't want Xiao Fuyuan to go to Rongguo, and she didn't want Fan Lingyi to marry Mandan.

The former is purely out of love for Xiao Fuyuan, and the latter is out of hatred for Fan Lingyi.

Although Mandan is the nominal lord of the Rong Kingdom, before he grows up, he has to rely on the Xia Kingdom to survive, and he is not even allowed to make decisions about his own family affairs.

At a young age, he was arranged by Xia Guo to be a queen who was more than ten years older than him.

"Eldest Princess, let's just accept Miss Fan as the queen?"

Whether it is from the perspective of the stable position of the small lord or the stability of the Rong country, it is a very wise choice for the small lord to accept the daughter of Xia Guo to become the queen of the Rong country.

After learning the news that Xiao Fuyuan would not go to Rongguo, Lou Wanhao regretted for a while.

But it doesn't mean that he agrees that the queen of the small country is Fan Lingyi.

First, he thought that Fan Lingyi's father, Fan Shijie, was a very ambitious person, and secondly, after being forced by Xia Guoqiang to stuff a woman with such a huge age difference, Lou Wan felt humiliated for the small lord.

If the princess of the Xia Kingdom is serious, there will be a huge age difference, but the emperor hurriedly made the daughter of a courtier the county lord.

And he also found out that Miss Fan's temperament was not much better than that of Chen Xuan'er, the quasi-princess of Chengping Wang, and she was angry at every turn, and even made trouble in the city for Bai Zhuangyuan.

Is Rongguo a garbage recycling station?

Accept Chen Xuaner and Fan Lingyi, two women with such poor character, back at once.

One is the princess and the other is the queen.

The more Lou Wan thought about it, the more angry he became, if it weren't for the unfulfilled ambition of his wife and children and the unfinished stability of the people of Rong Kingdom, he would really want to die in the palace of Xia Kingdom.

"Isn't it two months before returning to Rong Kingdom? Maybe things will turn around." Qiu Niang smiled lightly.

"I hope so." Lou Wan hoped that things would go in the direction that the eldest princess had said.

"Eldest Princess, where are you going?"

Lou Wan saw that Qiu Niang ordered someone to prepare the car, and asked with concern.

"Go to the Bai family in Qingyun Lane to see Lord Furong." Qiu Niang said.

Lou Wan nodded, maybe the eldest princess could make a move to let the county lord of Furong replace Fan Lingyi to go to Rongguo.

After all, they are all county lords, and who will be held accountable for temporary substitutions.

However, Lou Wan would be wrong about Qiu Niang's meaning, Qiu Niang did not want Xiao Fuyuan to go to Rongguo, but hoped to rub Xiao Fuyuan's blessing and block Fan Lingyi for Mandan.

……

Zhen Ping is unwilling!

Her daughter is absolutely not allowed to go to Rongguo and kiss.

At this time, Zhen Ping regretted very much that she would not let Fan Shijie take a concubine, if there were a few daughters in the family, Fan Lingyi's crisis would be resolved.

Just choose one of the concubines from several to go to Rongguo.

Zhen Ping thought of Tian Maimiao, but unfortunately she was already married.

If Tian Maimiao has not yet married, or if she is not married to the third child of the Bai family, Zhen Ping really has a way to marry Tian Maimiao's replacement Fan Lingyi to Rong State.

"Mother, I don't want to go to Rongguo. If my father can't help me, what about my grandmother? What about my uncle? They just watched me fall into the fire pit with their own eyes."

Fan Lingyi's crying voice was already hoarse.

Looking at her daughter's grief-stricken face, Zhen Ping's heart was like a knife.

Mother is definitely reluctant to Fan Lingyi, but brother is not.

The Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion had lost her sacred heart, and she didn't think that her brother would be willing to take the risk of offending the Queen Mother and the Emperor to intercede for Fan Lingyi.

With the current relationship between his mother and the Queen Mother, it is estimated that it will be difficult to do.

But you can't watch your daughter marry that little lord.

"If you have a sister-in-law, it's not hard to do." Zhen Ping hugged Fan Lingyi and said.

"Sister?"

Suddenly, Fan Lingyi's crying and swollen eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and she grabbed Zhen Ping's hand and said, "Mother, my sister is not necessarily from the Fan family, isn't my cousin also a sister?"

Zhen Ping thought for a while and said, "You mean Jiqiu?"

Fan Lingyi nodded carelessly.

Zhen Ping fell into deep thought.

Zhenguo Mansion now has two daughters, one is Zhen Zhixia, the concubine of Zhenguo Gong, and the other is Zhen Jiqiu, the concubine.

Why sacrifice her daughter to fulfill the control of the Xia State over the Rong State, didn't the Queen Mother say that as relatives of the emperor, they want to eat Junlu to relieve the monarch's worries, why can't this daughter who relieves the monarch's worries be the daughter of the Zhenguo Mansion.

According to Zhen Ping's thoughts, Zhen Jiqiu is just right.

However, a concubine's daughter was originally sacrificed for the family, didn't the queen mother's aunt and a concubine also go to the family to make peace?

Zhen Jiqiu is just following the path of the Queen Mother.

Besides, Zhen Jiqiu has been discussing marriage recently, and those who are willing to discuss marriage with her are only the children of some families or scholars from poor families, and she has been promoted by going to Rongguo to be the queen of Rongguo.

She was sure to convince her mother.

"Let's go, go to my grandmother's house."

Zhen Ping ordered someone to prepare a car and took Fan Lingyi to the Zhenguo Mansion.

"Grandmother, you save Ling Yi, Ling Yi doesn't want to go to the barren land of Rong."

As soon as Fan Lingyi saw her grandmother, she cried and fell into her arms.

The old lady's heart was like a knife.

"Mother, save Ling Yi." Zhen Ping fell to her knees with a thud, looking at her daughter's desperate face, and the old lady also rolled down tears.

"What did the son-in-law say?" The old lady ordered someone to carry Fan Lingyi and Zhen Ping to her side.

At the mention of Fan Shijie, Zhen Ping looked resentful.

「…… He agreed. I can see him clearly, he is so cruel to our mother and daughter." Zhen Ping scolded.

The old lady sighed and said, "Don't blame your son-in-law. As a prime minister, it's also difficult! The reason why you are angry is that you look at it from the perspective of being a mother, but the son-in-law is not, he is not just a father." The old lady analyzed the pros and cons for Zhen Ping.

"What did my brother say?" Zhen Ping asked.

The old lady was silent.

Although it was concluded that her brother would not interfere, Zhen Ping was still disappointed.

Fan Lingyi also knew that her uncle would not help her, and she was sad and resentful.

"Mother, Ling Yi can't go to Rongguo. Mother, if I have two daughters, I will definitely give up one. But I'm just this one daughter!" Zhen Ping cried bitterly.

"Mother, you have pity on me, I have such a daughter in my life, how can I bear to let her go so far away. This is not life and death. Letting Ling Yi go to Rongguo is forcing me to die."

It worked.

The old lady saw Zhen Ping crying bitterly, thinking that she only had such a daughter, and she was injured and could no longer give birth, so letting Fan Lingyi go to Rongguo was simply taking her daughter's life.

"The Queen Mother is really ruthless." The old lady scolded, "I'll go out and beg her again, even if she asks me to kneel down to Zhen Fu, I will agree."

"Mother, you don't have to ask the Queen Mother." Zhen Ping said.

"Oh?" The old lady questioned.

"Why don't you send Qiu to Rong Country for Ling Yi. Anyway, the two of them are about the same size, so even if Jiqiu arrives in Rong Country and is exposed, it must be fine. After all, the Xia Kingdom is the suzerainty of the Rong State, and the Rong State will definitely not dare to do anything to Jiqiu. Our emperor just wants the queen of Rong Guo to come out of the Xia Kingdom, what does it matter if it is Ling Yi or Jiqiu, not only will the emperor not pursue it, but he will also put pressure on the Rong Kingdom, and Jiqiu will definitely sit in the position of the queen with Xia Guo as a backer."
