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? "
Zhuo Baiyuan scolded Hauptverwaltungsgebaude angrily, and in his heart, he was cursing: That damned woman with long hair, short experience, only has money in her eyes, she's the same as your father!
Upon hearing his words, no matter how much pain Hauptverwaltungsgebaude's heart felt, he had no choice but to agree. He turned his head to look at Zhuo Qingyan who was lying on the table with a pale face and weak aura, and glared fiercely.
"Just like her mother who doesn't know what's good for her, she's here to collect debts … "Humph!"
"Alright, Madam. As long as she succeeds in getting married, the empress has promised that she'll personally propose to the Anguo for the marriage between Qing Lin and the crown prince." Alright, Madam, as long as she succeeds in getting married, the empress has promised that she'll personally propose to the Anguo.
Zhuo Baiyuan patted Hauptverwaltungsgebaude's shoulder lightly, and said with a gentle tone.
Zhuo Qingyan secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Other than feeling grief for the original owner, this poor girl, she also felt sympathy for the Ling Wang that was about to marry her.
Although he was of noble status and belonged to the royal family, he still couldn't help but marry his wife. Perhaps it was far more than this. He really didn't know how he would feel when he found out that the wangfei he was marrying was a fool.
But at this moment, she felt even more sorrowful. Was the heavens playing a joke on her? She was just a martyr after all, how did it end up like this? Even if he was a normal person, he would still be a fool.
She almost died the moment she woke up. She finally managed to keep her life after killing so many people, but the result was like this. It seemed that her battle with Zhuo Qingyan had only just begun.
"Can you stop quarreling? I haven't even woken up, and I've already been woken up …" Zhuo Qingyan closed her eyes and snorted lazily.
Once he heard her, Minister Zhuo immediately walked to the side of the bed and grabbed her little hand before patting her forehead. He continuously said: "Alright, alright, I've sweated, the heat has also left. Little Four is not afraid.
Zhuo Qingyan slowly opened her eyes and looked at the man in his forties. She could not help but smile: "Daddy loves this Little Four the most, this daddy loves daddy the most …"
Upon hearing these words, other than Mo Yu and Qiu mama who looked at each other in confusion, the others sneered with contempt.
"Since Little Four is fine, then Father still has matters to attend to. I won't stay here to accompany you …" A look of disgust flashed past Minister Zhuo's eyes. It was clear that those words were not true …
Then, he turned to look at Mo Yu and Qiu mama who were standing by the side. "You guys, look at the Fourth Miss properly.
The two immediately nodded, the Minister Zhuo did not stay any longer, stood up and left, he did not even want to stay for another moment.
Zhuo Qinglin took another look at Zhuo Qingyan who was still looking at them and snorted coldly. She turned her head and supported Shang Shu away, leaving the place.
