Chapter 141 It’s the World That’s Wrong
Therefore, her demands for monogamy, equality between men and women, and mutual respect were not only unreasonable but also incomprehensible to him.
Even the women here think that she is spoiled, whimsical, overestimating her own abilities, and asking for trouble!
Therefore, he was not wrong, and she was not wrong either. It was the world that was wrong.
Two very loving interracial couples may eventually separate due to cultural differences, religious beliefs, and social customs.
What's more, they are people from two different eras, and the gap between them is a thousand years. It is normal that they cannot cross it.
Lu Ziqian saw her staring at him without saying a word, as if her thoughts had drifted far away as she looked at him.
"Jiaojiao, I know I shouldn't have kept it from you for the sake of face."
"I didn't think much of it at the time. I thought I could handle it."
Su Yujiao turned over and lay down: "You go out, the child is asleep."
When she heard him mention the child, Lu Ziqian took a look at the child in her arms.
Although this was the first time he met these two children, he felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
"Can I hold the baby?"
Su Yujiao turned her back to him and ignored him.
Zhou called out softly from outside: "Seventh Brother, come out and let Jiaojiao rest."
"Go wash up first before you hold the child. It's so dirty."
She had just stood outside and listened to the whole story. She felt that these two children had a very miserable life. Even if good things come to an end, they will eventually come to an end.
Originally, she had made up her mind not to stop Su Yujiao from getting a divorce, but after listening to her son's explanation.
She also felt that perhaps there was still hope for the two of them, as the two children had feelings for each other, and it would be a pity if they were separated because of the bitch's evil scheme.
After Lu Ziqian left, Zhou went in and talked to Su Yujiao for a long time.
Su Yujiao didn't want to cause any trouble, so she followed the steps given by her mother-in-law.
Lest he become suspicious!
That night, she did not let Lu Ziqian into the house, and she softened her attitude towards him the next morning.
Seeing that she was finally willing to pay attention to him, the man tried to please her even more diligently.
In a flash, the prince led the army to the city gate.
Lu Ziqian could not stay at home any longer, so he quietly left the city to meet up with the prince, pretending that he had just returned to the capital in triumph.
The emperor personally led all the officials to welcome him and held a grand welcoming banquet that night. He also appointed Lu Ziqian as the General of the Nation and King of Pingxi.
This is the first king of a different surname since the founding of the Daming Kingdom. The emperor's reward to Lu Ziqian is the highest honor.
However, Lu Ziqian rejected her offer and instead exchanged his title of king for an imperial decree granting him marriage.
The emperor had been prepared for this, and a marriage with the Southern Frontier Kingdom would only benefit the Daming Kingdom, so he had no reason to refuse.
The emperor graciously approved their marriage and asked the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to choose an auspicious day, which was set for the eighth day of the next month.
Although time is a bit tight and the wedding preparations may be a bit hasty, since it is a marriage between two countries and with the Queen's relationship, the royal family will naturally help with the preparations.
Lu Ziqian didn't care at all. He was not willing to get married in the first place.
After talking about Lu Ziqian's marriage, the emperor suddenly called the third prince forward and bestowed the title of prince on him.
Concubine Jing looked at the Queen provocatively. Her son was the only one among many princes to be crowned a king, which showed how much the Emperor doted on him.
The queen was so angry that her head hurt. The prince risked his life twice to control the plague, but he didn't receive any reward, not even a word of praise.
The third prince just sent a marriage alliance team and was crowned king upon his return?
The emperor's mind is completely deviant!
However, as she was the queen, even though she was angry, she could not show her anger in public, otherwise she would lose the demeanor of a mother of a country.
The palace banquet was still going on, and the general's mansion had already received the imperial decree granting marriage and rewards.
Zhou held the imperial edict with a worried look on her face. Getting married was supposed to be a happy event, but she was not happy at all.
She didn't even dare to look at Su Yujiao's expression, but the gloating faces of those people from the second house could not be hidden, which made her very angry.
After sending Eunuch Wei away, Zhou drove all the people from the second house back to the west courtyard, and ordered the guards in the courtyard not to allow anyone from the second house to set foot in the main house for the next few days.
If there is something serious, send someone to report first!
Bai and Li hurriedly helped Su Yujiao up. They looked at her with sympathy, wanting to comfort her but not knowing what to say.
How could my sister-in-law be so unlucky?
The Lu family clearly has a rule that prohibits taking concubines. I thought that as long as I married into the Lu family, I would never have to deal with a life of having many wives and concubines and fighting overtly or covertly.
But I didn't expect that my seventh brother would end up having a concubine!
"Sister-in-law, are you okay?"
Su Yujiao shook her head and said calmly: "I'm fine, it's within my expectations."
"He had already obtained my consent before entering the palace. What's coming will come. Since it can't be changed, then I have to face it bravely."
Zhou looked guilty: "Jiaojiao, mother only recognizes you as her daughter-in-law. If Chen Yunniang comes into the house, I will definitely not treat her well."
Bai and Li also echoed: "Yes, we only recognize you as our sister-in-law."
"We ignore those women out there who are not presentable."
Su Yujiao was a little tired and really didn't want to deal with them. She was going to be divorced soon anyway, so she wasn't sad at all. She just hoped that the imperial decree of divorce would arrive soon.
I don’t know when the emperor will give her the imperial edict?
It should be soon, after all, the imperial decree granting the marriage has already come down.
For the next half month, both the General's Mansion and the Imperial Palace were preparing for the wedding. After all, it was a marriage between two countries, so it couldn't be too shabby and had to save face.
Su Yujiao became more and more anxious day by day. Tomorrow was their wedding day, but she still hadn't received the imperial decree of divorce.
The emperor wouldn't want to wait until they get married before giving her the imperial decree of divorce, right?
In fact, she didn't care before or after the marriage. She didn't have as many concerns as the emperor. As long as she could get a divorce, it would be fine.
However, the longer she waited, the more uncertain she became. Could it be that the emperor wanted to go back on his word?
Do you want to go to the palace and ask the Queen?
It’s too late today, let’s do it tomorrow.
It seems that tomorrow is not a good time either. Tomorrow is Lu Ziqian's wedding, and he will be marrying the Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang. The Emperor and the Empress will both be there, so I'm afraid they won't have time to take care of her little matter.
Su Yujiao was upset and wanted to go out for a walk.
After all, people's sorrows and joys are not the same, and the joy in the general's mansion is not suitable for her who is sad.
Lu Ziqian was afraid that she would do something stupid, so he wanted to go with her to relax, but she refused. He would only be more upset if he followed her.
Lu Ziqian knew that she was unhappy and didn't want to see her, so he asked Mo Shu and Mo Hua to follow her secretly.
Su Yujiao walked and stopped on the street, but found that there was nowhere to go.
When Lu Ziqian's family found out that he was going to take a concubine, his brother was so angry that he beat him several times.
But this is a marriage arranged by the emperor. No matter how angry my brother is, it is useless and he can only accept the reality.
Her parents advised her to be more open-minded, as this was her fate!
