Chapter 23 You marry her back and be my daughter-in-law
Lou Shulan always thought that her son just found a decent job and could barely make ends meet. Even though Lou Yan repeatedly emphasized that he was rich, Lou Shulan, who was used to being poor, never took it seriously.
She also thought that the food and drinks in the courtyard where she lived now belonged to Qin Zhen. She couldn't eat and drink for free, she had to pay back the money.
Although Qin Zhen has never cared about these.
Even so, she still feels that she has hope in life and is happy every day.
Although her son is very busy, Qin Zhen often comes to accompany her.
She is very satisfied.
Now her two favorite people are sitting on one side of her, which makes Lou Shulan feel happy.
She took out the cakes Qin Zhen bought and let the two of them eat them enthusiastically.
He then took out the sachets he had embroidered earlier and distributed them to two people one by one: "Seeing that the weather is getting hotter, there are more mosquitoes and ants. I have put some insect-repelling herbs in them. You can wear them."
There are two sachets, Qin Zhen's one is embroidered with colorful flowers, and Lou Yan's one is embroidered with winding vines.
The patterns are unique and the colors are exquisite, which is very special.
Qin Zhen liked it very much and hung it on her waist directly after taking it.
Lou Yan hesitated for a moment and then hung it on himself.
Lou Shulan looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "What a perfect match."
Lou Yan's expression froze, and he subconsciously replied: "Mother, don't talk nonsense!"
Perhaps he was too nervous and even raised his tone by three points.
Lou Shulan was stunned for a moment, then her smile faded a little and she said, "I'm talking about the sachet, what do you think?"
Lou Yan: "..."
Lou Shulan no longer looked at him, but pushed the cake in front of Qin Zhen and said with a smile: "Eat it quickly, Zhen Zhen."
Qin Zhen glanced at Lou Yan, then picked up the cake with a smile: "Thank you, aunt. Auntie loves me the most."
Lou Shulan reached out and touched her head with a loving look on her face.
Lou Yan, who was left out in the cold: "..."
Qin Zhen always jumped out to make him angry in another way when he had a slight liking for her.
Qin Zhen finished eating the pastries and left first.
Only mother and son were left in the yard.
Lou Yan is a person who is not good at words. At this time, facing his angry mother, he held it in for a long time and could only say: "Mom, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to talk to you loudly."
Lou Shulan's expression paused, and then she looked at Lou Yan: "You have changed a lot recently."
Lou Yan's expression froze and he looked at Lou Shulan nervously.
"Are you too tired from work?" Lou Shulan frowned and said, "If you are too tired, just quit your job. Mother can make money by doing some needlework. Although she is a little poorer, it can keep our mother and son fed.
There is no problem. Ayan, you have been too tense recently."
Lou Yan raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, smiled, and said, "I've been a little busy lately...but it's okay, I'll be fine soon. Don't worry, mother."
Lou Shulan: "Really?"
"Really," Lou Yan looked at Lou Shulan: "Don't you still believe in your son's ability?"
Lou Shulan finally broke down in tears and smiled: "Of course I believe you, I know my son is the best."
After uncovering that unpleasantness, Lou Shulan talked about something else.
She looked at her son and asked tentatively: "Well, what do you think of Zhen Zhen?"
Lou Yan was immediately alert: "What's going on?"
"Well, look at Zhen Zhen, she is lively and cheerful, kind-hearted, and beautiful. I have never seen such a lovable girl." Lou Shulan said with a smile in her eyes when she talked about Qin Zhen.
Mom thinks she and you are quite suitable."
Lou Yan seemed to have been struck by lightning, his face full of disbelief: "Mother, what are you talking about?"
Who is kind-hearted and lovable? Is that Qin Zhen?
The Qin Zhen he saw was full of calculations and cruelty. She would do whatever he disliked. What was so pleasing about her?
"You're not young anymore, it's time to settle down." Lou Shulan muttered, "I like this kid Zhen Zhen very much, and she is suitable for you."
Lou Yan rubbed his eyebrows and said helplessly: "Mother, we are not suitable."
"Why is it inappropriate?" Lou Shulan retorted: "Look at you, you are a boring person, cold and cold, and don't come near strangers. Zhen Zhen is lively and cheerful, and she is not afraid of you, so she complements you perfectly."
Lou Yan: "That's not how complementation works."
"I don't care, I just like her." Lou Shulan began to act helpless: "You must find a way to please people, and you must marry them to me as my daughter-in-law."
Lou Yan: "...Are you serious?"
Lou Shulan was particularly serious: "I have been thinking about this for a long time, and it really can't be true anymore."
Lou Yan: "..."
His temples were throbbing, and his head was hurting so much that it was about to explode.
He excused himself as something else and ran away from the yard almost in embarrassment.
Unexpectedly, I bumped into the culprit as soon as I stepped out.
The man who should have left long ago was leaning against the wall, looking straight at him.
Lou Yan: "..."
Qin Zhen smiled half-heartedly: "Where are you going in such a hurry?"
Lou Yan narrowed his eyes: "Did you hear everything?"
"My ears are pretty good, I heard everything." Qin Zhen didn't shy away from it at all, and even asked with interest: "How do you plan to please me?"
Lou Yan's face turned green and white. He took one last look at the yard and said in a deep voice, "Follow me."
Qin Zhen didn't ask any questions and followed him.
Lou Yan took people to the dark alley next to him, and his first words were: "My mother made a casual joke, you don't have to take it seriously."
After that, he added: "In a few days, I plan to take my mother back."
Qin Zhen's expressionless face finally showed a slight change.
The day finally came.
"How do you plan to arrange for her?" Qin Zhen asked.
Lou Yan was silent for a long time this time. After a while, he finally said: "Some time ago, the emperor suddenly asked about his mother."
As soon as these words came out, Qin Zhen's expression changed instantly.
She quickly walked a few steps and rushed to Lou Yan, grabbing Lou Yan by the collar: "You want to send her to the palace?"
Lou Yan said nothing.
Qin Zhen raised her hand and slapped Lou Yan on the face.
This slap was so hard that it directly pulled Lou Yan's face to one side, and the corner of his mouth was also broken, leaving a wisp of blood.
"If it weren't for Xiao Chengye, my aunt wouldn't have to suffer for so many years, but now you want to send her back to Xiao Chengye?" Qin Zhen's tone was a little cold: "You want her to enter the palace to be with Xiao Chengye's countless concubines.
Compete for favor and then let her be bullied and humiliated?"
With Lou Shulan's background and appearance, she was not attractive at all in that harem.
Qin Zhen glared at Lou Yan and said sternly: "Lou Yan, you are selling your mother for glory!"
This sentence suddenly touched Lou Yan's pain point.
Lou Yan's eyes were bloodshot and blood-red. He stared at Qin Zhen and said fiercely: "Do you think I am willing?"
"Do you think I am willing to be the third prince? Do you think I am willing to send my mother to that heartless and unjust man?" Lou Yan roared: "Do you think I am willing to do all this?"
