Chapter 4 - Tragic Destiny
It was the sound of a quarrel, and crying. It wasn't the kind of low sobbing, but rather wailing.
”Enough!” Although the Little Four was born from a concubine and was a little silly, she is still a young miss of the Shang Shu Manor. You all only know how to bully her, this time she is very lucky, if she really dies, you all must know how to take responsibility, but the marriage with the Ling Wang is His Majesty's order, at that time, if you all cannot hand it over, will you all be able to?! ” Minister Zhuo Zhuo Baiyuan bellowed.
”But Father, are we really letting her marry him? If we get spoiled, will we live a good life in the future? ” Zhuo Qinglin's sharp voice sounded again.
”He's just a fool. Even if he's favored, where can he be spoiled to? It's merely a transaction …” Minister Zhuo's voice was cold, as if she was a completely different person from the whining just now.
”There's nothing we can do about this. The empress's imperial decree has already been passed down, and if we don't obey it, it's the same as an imperial decree. We have a few heads, as long as she safely marries into the Ling Mansion …” Zhuo Baiyuan helplessly shook his head.
Zhuo Qingyan couldn't help but secretly sigh in her heart as she thought to herself: Girl, your life is really bitter. This entire thing is a person who's neither father nor mother loves. In this mansion, you are just an extra breed.
”Master, I don't understand either. Why did you choose her?” Hauptverwaltungsgebaude asked.
”Does that even need to be said? ”It's just that the empress wanted to humiliate the Ling Wang. Although he's the current Young Emperor Uncle, judging from his age, he's two years younger than His Majesty. Everyone in the capital knew that the person she liked was the Ling Wang, not the crown prince …” Zhuo Baiyuan said softly.
Hearing that, Zhuo Qinglin immediately interrupted: ”If that's the case, then just because we can't get the Ling Wang, we have to give him a fool, and make him lose face?”
”Sigh, Prince Ling fought on the battlefield when he was young, and although he had military merits, he never brought up the matter of taking in a concubine. There are many rumours that Ling Wang was a broken sleeve, but there are also rumors saying that because the Empress married someone, Ling Wang would never marry them. Zhuo Baiyuan stretched his head forward, and said with a lowered voice.
”Master, it can't be that you want to take revenge after being rejected because the empress wants to marry to the Ling Wang, right?” Hauptverwaltungsgebaude asked.
”In that case, it seems possible, but... At the same time, it will help our Zhuo Family. You must know, the Ling Wang is a warlord level character, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. If we get married, it will help us in our future career … ” Zhuo Baiyuan chuckled and said complacently.
”Father, aren't you happy too early? If Ling Wang knew that the one he married was a fool, wouldn't he cancel the engagement? At that time, forget about helping, even if I were to be implicated by this fool's actions, I won't even be able to find the right words to cry. ” Zhuo Qinglin said in a strange tone.
”That's right, master. Lin'er's worries are not unreasonable. If something really goes wrong at that time, she might …” The Hauptverwaltungsgebaude also reminded him.
Zhuo Baiyuan also sighed: ”It's useless to say anything now, the imperial edict has already been passed down, no one can go back on their word, even the current Ling Wang, cannot do it! Even the current Emperor Young Emperor Uncle, cannot do it, he can only recuperate her injuries, in another half a month, she'll be married into the Ling Mansion, I hope she can hold on, and not cause us any trouble …”
Hauptverwaltungsgebaude snorted once again: ”It's fine to marry, but if you want to get married, there isn't any …”
”Are you stupid? If not, other people would laugh at our Zhuo Residence. If I were to walk in the imperial court in the future, I would also be treated as a laughingstock. Now is not the time to be saving face, for the sake of face, we have to fight, and furthermore, this is for the Anguo Palace to see, do you want them to look down on Qing Lin? ”
