Shengjing Noble

Chapter 500 Marry someone else

Su Lanyin returned to the Lu family surrounded by her family.

Seeing the familiar environment, her heart softened, as if she had regained her former vitality and happiness.

The dining table was filled with her favorite dishes, and Lu Wanjun and her two brothers kept putting food into her bowl.

In a short while, the originally empty bowls were piled up into a small mountain.

Su Lanyin frowned and teased them in a somewhat amusing and helpless manner.

"Don't bother me, you two. Why are you so polite after just three days? It seems like a married daughter really becomes an outsider."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lu Wanjun patted her head, "This is always your home!"

Su Shengyan and Su Shengyun also nodded in agreement: "That's right! No matter what happens in the future, this is Yinyin's home. Even if the two of us leave, it won't be your turn to leave."

"Haha..." Su Lanyin laughed happily.

The green bamboo beside it lowered its head sadly.

Lu Wanjun noticed her expression and couldn't help asking, "Cuizhu, why are you so worried?"

As soon as she said that, Su Shengyan and Su Shengyun also noticed it.

"Yeah, are you okay?"

"Were you bullied? Or was Yinyin wronged?"

It would have been fine if you didn't ask, but as soon as you asked, Cuizhu's eyes started to turn red.

"Of course the girl was wronged!"

She said it loudly, and Su Lanyin tried to stop her but failed.

When the three heard this, their faces immediately turned cold.

"Tell me, what's going on!" Lu Wanjun asked.

Cuizhu opened her mouth to speak, but was pushed away by Su Lanyin.

"Mother, don't listen to Cuizhu's nonsense. This is not a grievance at all."

But Lu Wanjun refused to listen and stood up as if to walk out: "Did King Xiaoyao let you down? Or did Shen Ruchu rely on his status to bully you?"

"no!"

Su Lanyin hurriedly held her back and patiently explained, "The prince treated me very well. Not only did he give me the most betrothal gifts, he even abandoned the princess and lived in my room on our wedding night."

"Including today's visit, he didn't accompany me back because he wanted to protect me so that the emperor and empress wouldn't blame me. After all, if I got the reputation of favoring concubines and neglecting wives, it would be bad for him and even worse for me."

After hearing her explanation, the three of them were still skeptical.

Lu Wanjun: "Why is Cuizhu crying for no reason?"

"She just felt that I didn't become a princess, so she was unhappy."

Cuizhu said dissatisfiedly: "That's right! I saw how good he was to you before, but now he wants you to be his mistress. It's really humiliating!"

When everyone heard this, they looked helpless.

Su Lanyin held Cuizhu's hand and said, "Your Highness can't be blamed for this."

"I just blame him. If he really loves me, I don't believe he would marry someone else and let his beloved one suffer."

This is absolutely true.

Cuizhu is honest and naive. As a little servant, she has been protected by Su Lanyin since she was a child and has no concept of hierarchy.

She only knew to be loyal to Su Lanyin, with the kind of love and protection that a younger sister gives to an older sister, but she never had the slightest thought that she was a slave and unworthy of being a sister to her master.

So she felt that King Xiaoyao was in a high position of power and it was impossible for him to marry a woman without having to please others.

To put it bluntly, I didn't love her to that extent, and I felt from the bottom of my heart that Su Lanyin was not worthy of her.

Throughout history, there have been stories of kings, princes, generals and ministers giving up everything to be with their loved ones.

In the previous dynasty, there was a princess who fell in love with the guard beside her. In order to be with him, she even gave up her life and eloped with the guard.

After experiencing a series of setbacks and hardships, the two lovers finally got married and lived a comfortable and happy life like gods in a paradise.

If Fu Wuyang is really obsessed with Su Lanyin and is willing to give up everything, then that is true love.

At least that's what the simple-minded Cuizhu thinks.

But there are too many helplessness in reality, and people cannot only see love.

Just like Su Lanyin, if she were in her shoes, she probably wouldn't abandon her family, power and status, and go far away just for a man.

So stupid.

So she didn't blame Fu Wuyang, she just didn't want to get stuck in it anymore.

Stopping the loss in time was her final moment of clarity.

Thinking of this, she hugged Cuizhu and said, "Cuizhu, aren't you also blaming me for not being from a noble family?"

"This is not what I mean..."

"But this is the fact, we can only accept our fate."

"girl……"

Cuizhu didn't know what to do for a moment, so she could only lower her head and stop talking.

Lu Wanjun thought for a moment and said, "Well, if we had a choice at the beginning, I would not want Yinyin to marry him as a concubine."

Su Shengyan and Su Shengyun also looked remorseful.

"It's also our fault that we are useless and can't even protect our sister."

"Yinyin, I'm sorry..."

Seeing her family members sad for her, she felt very guilty.

"What are you doing? I don't want to see you sad. Today is the day I return home. Can we have a happy meal together?"

"Yeah! Yinyin is right! Let's be happy!"

"Alright, alright, stop looking so sad!"

"It's all Cuizhu's fault. Don't do this again!"

Cuizhu curled her lips helplessly, looking aggrieved.

The atmosphere at the dinner table returned to its previous cheerful state, but it was a little heavy.

After eating and drinking, Su Lanyin's face became serious.

"There is something I want to discuss with you."

Everyone was confused.

"what's up?"

Su Lanyin thought about it, and then said, "I want to sell part of Shengjing's industry."

"what?"

All three of them had surprised looks on their faces.

"What's going on? Yinyin, do you know something?"

It was difficult for Su Lanyin to explain clearly. After all, at this time in her previous life, she had already married Song Rui and had less contact with the outside world.

So she only vaguely heard about everything that happened afterwards.

Soon, constant wars will break out on the border, and successive defeats will result in heavy losses. Not only will they have to cede territory and pay compensation, but there will also be the possibility of a marriage alliance.

In her previous life, she had occasionally heard Song Rui mention what exactly had happened, but every time she asked, she would be scolded for meddling.

So gradually, she didn't dare to say any more.

Since war has broken out, taxes will definitely increase, people will not have extra money to spend, and many shops will face bankruptcy.

So, she had to take shelter in advance.

But we can't cheat other ordinary people.

"Mother, if you trust me, just let me do this. I promise to minimize the loss to the Lu family."

Without even a second thought, Lu Wanjun immediately stood up and walked towards the inner room. When she came out, she was holding a brocade box in her hand.

She put it on the table and pushed it in front of Su Lanyin.

"All the deeds to the shops and houses I have are here. You can take them."

Su Lanyin was somewhat touched: "Thank you, mother!"

"What are you thanking me for? These things were originally left for you."

"What about the two brothers?"

"As two real men, they naturally have to work hard on their own to build their careers. My rule is to pass on the skills to girls, not boys."
