Chapter 219: Make another plan
Ling Chu ignored Dong's anger and did not defend himself.
She directly said Zhao Jingming's true face, "Grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, you all say that the prince of Zhao Guo is a good match, but not only does he like to visit the Qinglou and drink flower wine, but he also ransomed himself from the small official mansion and raised it in the house outside......"
However, before she finished speaking, Dong interrupted her with an annoyed face, "Where did you hear the rumors, how could the son of Zhao Guogong have such a ridiculous thing!" You are really messing around more and more, and you have to get out of the marriage if you chase after the wind and shadows. ”
"This is not a rumor, I have seen it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears......"
Dong's face was furious, and he slapped his palm on the table again, "Enough, you are a girl with no face and no skin, this kind of thing can you say?" Don't say that this kind of thing is not true, even if it is, how can it be possible for you to see it with your own eyes and hear it! ”
After being interrupted repeatedly, Ling Chu's eyes also turned cold, "I am not the only one who saw Zhao Jingming sleeping on the bed with the junior official, even Mrs. Zhongqinbo and her daughter also saw it.
Not only them, but many maids and daughters in Zhongqin Bofu have seen it with their own eyes, and many outsiders have also seen it. If you don't believe me, you can have people go outside and ask about it. ”
Ling Chu wasn't worried that they wouldn't be able to inquire at all.
Even if Mrs. Zhongqinbo wanted to suppress this matter for the sake of her daughter, it would be impossible to shut everyone's mouths.
After all, there were many outsiders who saw Zhao Jingming sleeping in bed with the little official at that time.
Originally, the Dong family really thought that Ling Chu lied to the prince of Zhao Guo to support a petty official in order to withdraw from the marriage.
It can be seen that Ling Chu's expression does not look like he is lying, and he can't help but be suspicious.
Then Zhao Jingming is so nonsense, even if he secretly supports a petty official, why is it still known to everyone?
Mrs. Tai and Dong frowned and did not speak.
Ling Shangshu naturally didn't want Ling Chu to withdraw from the marriage like this, but he was a grandfather, and it was not easy for him to talk about this kind of thing with his granddaughter.
only said lightly, "Sister Chu, this is not a big deal. Zhao Jingming is still young, and it is inevitable that he will come nonsense. Wait for your father to have a good talk with him one day, and he will naturally not come nonsense in the future. ”
Ling Chu knew that her grandfather would not agree to her divorce so easily, and she was not angry about it.
But she won't stop there.
"Grandfather, grandmother, and the son of Zhao Guogong are not a good match. He not only supports petty officials, but also fornicates with the eldest girl of the Zhongqin Mansion, without a matchmaker or employment......"
Although Ling Chu's face was serious, Mrs. Tai's face was full of suspicion, "Is this serious?" ”
"The eldest girl in Zhongqin Bofu is pregnant, and the child is Zhao Jingming's. ……”
Dong interrupted Ling Chu's words once again, "This is impossible. ”
Although she has been fostered in Taoist temples since she was a child, she is not close to this mother-in-law. But Dong would rather believe in an outsider than believe in her biological daughter, which is really chilling.
It's thanks to the fact that she's not the owner.
Ling Chu glanced at her coldly, and turned directly to Ling Shangshu and Mrs. Tai, "Grandfather, grandmother, everything I said is true. The Zhongqin Bofu is waiting for us to withdraw from the marriage, so that the eldest girl Guo Rong can marry Zhao Jingming. ”
Mrs. Tai didn't get angry, only frowned, "Even if this is true, the eldest girl of the Zhongqin Bo Mansion is not worried." First sister, you have a marriage contract with the Zhao Guogong Mansion in advance, and the position of the princess of the Zhao Guogong Mansion can only be yours, and no one else can take it away.
Even if Zhao Jingming accepts that Guo Rong, she can only be a concubine. ”
Without waiting for Ling Chu to speak again, Mrs. Tai followed closely and said, "Sister Chu, you grew up in the Taoist temple since you were a child, and you don't understand many things. As for this man, it is normal to marry a wife and take a concubine, and you can't withdraw from the marriage because of this. ”
Although Ling Zong felt that Zhao Jingming had not yet married a wife, he was getting together with the eldest girl of the Zhongqin Bo Mansion, which made him angry, but what his mother said was also the truth, and he couldn't say anything.
Ling Chu had long expected that the divorce would definitely be opposed by everyone, the Dong family did not approve of it, and Mrs. Tai would not agree to it.
"But grandmother, Uncle Zhong and Uncle Zhong are the eldest brother and sister-in-law of Duchess Zhao, do you think they will let their eldest daughter be a concubine for Zhao Jingming?"
Dong really thought that what Ling Chu said was false at first, but seeing that she had a nose and eyes at her, he couldn't help but start to doubt, could it be that Zhao Jingming was really involved with his cousin?
Dong furrowed his brows, wondering how to deal with this matter.
Mrs. Tai glanced at the Dong family who was hanging her head, and she didn't know what the eldest daughter-in-law was thinking at this time.
He frowned and said to Ling Chu, "Sister Chu, you don't have to worry about this, since the marriage has been decided, it's not something they can change if they want to." ”
"Grandmother, if our Ling Mansion is still the original Hubu Shangshu Mansion, naturally we don't have to worry. But now we are just ordinary people, and the Zhongqin Bofu is an official.
Do you think the Duke of Zhao will agree to let me be the princess of the Duke of Zhao?
Also, if the Zhongqin Bofu threatens the child in Miss Guo's belly, Guo Rong must be made to Zhao Jingming as the concubine, think about it, how will the Zhao Guogong Mansion choose? ”
Mrs. Tai pursed her lips, this is not necessary to think about it at all.
If she is the Duchess of Zhao Guo, she will definitely choose Guo Rong.
The world attaches great importance to heirs, how could the Duke of Zhao be willing to give up his bloodline.
And if you marry Guo Rong, you can also get close to Zhongqin Bofu.
Glancing at the look on Mrs. Tai's face, Ling Chu knew that she didn't have to say much to understand, but she still said, "Take 10,000 steps back, even if I can marry the prince of Zhao Guo, but with Guo Rong's existence, with her relationship with the Duchess of Zhao Guo, and Zhao Jingming's love for her, do you think I can compete for her?"
If I am not favored, even if I am the princess of the Zhao State Mansion, I will not be able to bring any help to my younger siblings in the family. Grandmother, do you think this kind of marriage is really what you want? ”
Mrs. Tai didn't want her to withdraw from the marriage, and on the surface, she said it was for her good.
But in fact, he just wants to use this marriage to seek benefits for everyone in the Ling Mansion.
As for who Ling Chu marries, it doesn't matter, whether she is happy or not, and no one cares.
But if Ling Chu is married into the Zhao State Mansion, it will not bring any benefits to the Ling Mansion, and they will have to make other plans for this marriage.
Ling Shangshu and the others were still weighing, but Ling Hao, who had been frowning, opened his mouth first, "Grandfather and grandmother, father, mother, since Zhao Jingming is not a good match, this marriage should be withdrawn." I can't know that it's a fire pit, and I have to let my big sister jump into it. ”
In the entire Ling Mansion, except for the two maids beside Ling Chu, only this eldest brother is still a little sincere to her.
Although he felt pity in his heart, his son opened his mouth, and Ling Zong could only say, "Father, mother, let's forget about this marriage." ”
At this point, Ling Mao knew that this marriage was meaningless, so it was better to make another plan as soon as possible.
