If the original person's only surprise was that after returning to Kyoto, he had a fiancé like Liancheng.
"Father, do you know the relationship between the Lian family and the prince?"
After thinking deeply, Shi Jiang asked Shi's father.
"I'm not very clear about the specifics of my father. You also know that our military commanders and civil servants don't know much about it. Your marriage was also facilitated by Lian Chief Assistant. In fact, in my heart, I don't think that Young Master Liancheng is you.
A good match.
Sigh... If possible, I would rather find you someone from an ordinary family, at least the Shi family can be your backing.
As for the Lian family and the Crown Prince, as far as I know, Chief Assistant Lian has always been His Majesty's servant, and I have never heard of him having any dealings with the Crown Prince."
Hearing this, Shi Jiang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, if Lian's chief assistant had no contact with the prince.
When all possibilities are denied, the most impossible thing becomes the most possible thing!
Shi Jiang touched her chin, feeling a little surprised. If what she thought was true, then it would be such an injustice for her to die in her previous life!
Glancing at Shi's father, Shi Jiang felt that he had better not tell what he had guessed, lest Shi's father couldn't bear the repeated stimulation and fainted.
In fact, Shi's father is indeed full of anxiety and anxiety now. If Shi's family offends only the bandits, or other people who he disliked when he was at the frontier, Shi's father feels that the worst thing is to avoid them.
Find a place where no one knows them and start over.
But who is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
That is the future emperor, and the whole world is not the royal land.
If he was unwilling to let go of the Shi family, where else could the Shi family escape?
The emperor quickly received the report from the prince. After hearing the news, the emperor opened his eyes in surprise.
"What did you say? That woman is the future daughter-in-law of Chief Lian?"
"Yes, at that time, my family background was not good enough for Mr. Liancheng, but it was just because Shi Cheng had saved Lian Shouxu's life. Therefore, in order to repay the life-saving grace, Lian Shofu married his younger son Mr. Liancheng and Shi Cheng's legitimate daughter Shi Cheng.
Jiang made this marriage.
In the past, people in Kyoto often belittled the legitimate daughter of the family at that time, and Master Liancheng listened to it and let it go without any action."
Upon hearing the visitor's words, the emperor raised his eyebrows slightly and tapped his fingers on the table.
"In other words, Lian Shoufu only made the marriage contract between Lian and Shi's family just to repay his kindness, but Mr. Lian Cheng has no relationship with the legitimate daughter of the Shi family?"
"According to the investigation, this is indeed the case."
"Hahaha... If that's the case, then it's easy to handle! The chief minister of Chuanlian has entered the palace. I have something to tell him."
The emperor laughed. If the young lady of the family and the young master of Lian Shouxu's family had feelings for each other at that time, this would be difficult to handle.
After all, if Ziqing fell in love with a woman who liked someone else, he would definitely suffer from that love.
Now that both parties have no intention of each other, it’s easy to handle!
"What? The emperor betrothed Princess Yuehua to Liancheng?"
When Mrs. Lian received the imperial edict, she was stunned!
"Lord Lian, please take the order quickly!"
"Thank you angel for reminding me, and thank you for the holy grace."
Lian Kun stepped forward and received the imperial edict. The steward immediately stepped forward and thrust a roll of banknotes into the hands of the angel who came to deliver the edict.
The angel nodded with satisfaction, then turned and left.
"Sir, what does your Majesty mean by this?"
Although Mrs. Lian was not very satisfied with Jiang at that time, after all, regardless of her family background and temperament, she was not the type of daughter-in-law she liked.
But if it were Princess Yuehua, Mrs. Lian would be even more dissatisfied.
No one knows that Princess Yuehua was born from a palace family and her mother's family was humble.
Although she has the title of princess, the emperor and queen don't like her very much.
Moreover, by marrying a daughter of the Shi family, at least Liancheng can still work hard on his career by relying on his own abilities.
But if he gets married to Princess Yuehua, he will become the consort.
The imperial court has issued an order that the prince-in-law is not allowed to participate in court affairs.
In other words, from now on, Liancheng can only carry the title of Prince Consort, but he can't do anything!
"grown ups!"
When Mrs. Lian saw that Lian Kun was silent, she hurriedly took two steps forward, grabbed his sleeve and asked.
His son knew very well that if he couldn't put his knowledge to use in the end, it would cost him his life!
"Madam, since the Emperor has issued an edict, you should send someone to the Shifu tomorrow to cancel the engagement!"
Thinking of what the emperor said to him after summoning him, Lian Kun closed his eyes and said.
In fact, this is fine, at least it is a good thing for Liancheng.
"Sir, how can you be so cruel? If Liancheng gets married to Princess Yuehua, his future will be completely ruined! Your Majesty... Your Majesty knows that Liancheng is already engaged, so why didn't you ask Liancheng? How could he?
in this way?"
"Shut up, how can a woman like you question the holy will?"
Lian Kun waved his sleeves, but Mrs. Lian couldn't stand still. She staggered a few steps and fell to the ground.
"If you don't want to take care of the family, then I will leave this housekeeping matter to others. You can help Liancheng prepare for the wedding at home!"
After saying that, Kun left without even looking back.
People who came in saw Mrs. Lian falling to the ground and hurriedly stepped forward to help her.
"Madam, are you okay?"
Mrs. Lian covered her face, cried and choked with sobs.
"...my poor son!"
When Liancheng received the news, there was no reaction on his face.
He lowered his eyes to cover the sadness in his eyes.
In fact, no matter who he marries, he is harming others.
But if Shi Jiang is replaced by Princess Yuehua, it should be much better.
I just hope that that person, for the sake of his blood relationship with Princess Yuehua, can let her go.
"Son."
The attendant who served Liancheng shouted uneasily when he saw that he remained silent.
"I understand, go down!"
"Yes, sir."
The attendant retreated obediently, and Liancheng opened his palms, looked at the bleeding palms from pinching, and closed his eyes hard.
"What? Call off the engagement?"
Shi's father and Shi's mother, who were worried about the prince's plans to harm their family, suddenly looked at each other in shock when they heard the people sent by Lian Mansion talk about breaking off the engagement.
Especially Shi's father, he originally thought about whether he could marry his daughter to the Lian family as soon as possible. In this way, even if the prince wanted to deal with the Shi family, under the protection of the Lian family, his daughter's life could at least be saved!
"Here, my lord has already written down the reason in this letter."
The steward of Lian Mansion took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Shi's father.
Shi's father took it and read it at a glance. After reading it, his hand fell down involuntarily, then he closed his eyes and said to Mrs. Shi.
"Return the Geng Tie from the Lian family to them."
"master?"
Mrs. Shi couldn't accept it and shouted at him.
"Give it to them."
Shi's father raised his head, glared at the housekeeper of the Lian family, and gritted his teeth.
"how so?"
After seeing the housekeeper of the Lian family walking out of Shi's residence in a somewhat embarrassed manner with Geng Tie in hand, Mrs. Shi couldn't bear it any longer, covering her face and crying.
