Chapter 219 Make Other Plans

Ling Chu ignored Dong's anger and did not defend himself.

She directly revealed Zhao Jingming's true face, "Grandfather, grandmother, father, and mother, you all said that the prince Zhao Guogong was a good match, but not only did he like to visit brothels and drink wine, but he also redeemed his body for someone in a small official house and raised him. In the house outside..."

However, before she could finish her words, Mr. Dong interrupted her angrily, "Where did you hear these rumors? The prince Zhao Guogong is of such good character, how could he do such ridiculous things! You are really getting more and more ridiculous. "

"This is not a rumor. I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears..."

With an angry look on her face, Mrs. Dong slapped her palm on the table again, "That's enough. You are a shameless girl. How can you say such a thing? Don't say that this kind of thing is not true, even if it is true , how can it be possible for you to see it with your own eyes and hear it with your own ears!”

After being interrupted again and again, Ling Chu's eyes turned cold, "I wasn't the only one who saw Zhao Jingming sleeping on the bed with Xiao Guan, even Mrs. Zhongqin Bo and her daughter also saw it.

Not only them, many maids and women in Uncle Zhongqin's house saw it with their own eyes, and many outsiders also saw it. If you don't believe it, you can ask people to inquire outside. "

Ling Chu didn't worry at all that they wouldn't be able to find out.

Even if Mrs. Zhongqin wanted to suppress this matter for the sake of her daughter, it was impossible to keep everyone's mouths shut.

After all, there were many outsiders who saw Zhao Jingming sleeping on the bed with the official.

Originally, Mrs. Dong really thought that Ling Chu lied about Zhao Guogong's eldest son supporting a minor official in order to break off the engagement.

It was obvious that Ling Chu didn't look like he was lying, so he couldn't help but become suspicious.

Then Zhao Jingming actually acted so nonsense, even if he secretly supported a minor official, why did he still make it known to everyone?

Mrs. Dong and Mrs. Dong frowned and said nothing.

Ling Shangshu naturally did not want Ling Chu to cancel the marriage like this, but as a grandfather, it was not easy for him to discuss such things with his granddaughter.

He just said quietly, "Sister Chu, this is not a big deal. Zhao Jingming is still young, so it is inevitable that he will do random things. Let your father have a good talk with him one day, and he will naturally stop doing random things in the future."

Ling Chu knew that her grandfather would not agree to her breaking off the engagement so easily, and she was not angry about it.

But she won't give up just yet.

"Grandfather, grandmother, the prince of Zhao Guogong is not a good match. Not only does he keep a small official, but he also has an affair with the eldest girl from Zhongqin's house without a matchmaker or a betrothal..."

Although Ling Chu looked serious, Mrs. Madam's face was full of doubts, "Is this serious?"

"The eldest girl in Uncle Zhongqin's residence is pregnant, and the child is Zhao Jingming's..."

Dong once again interrupted Ling Chu categorically, "This is impossible."

Although she had been fostered in a Taoist temple since she was a child, she was not close to her biological mother. But Ms. Dong would rather believe an outsider than her own daughter, which is really heartbreaking.

Fortunately, she is not the original owner.

Ling Chu glanced at her coldly, then turned directly to Ling Shangshu and Mrs. Ling, "Grandpa, grandmother, everything I said is true. Uncle Zhongqin's house is waiting for us to cancel the engagement so that the eldest daughter Guo Rong can marry To Zhao Jingming.”

The madam didn't get angry, she only frowned, "Even if this is true, the eldest girl of Zhongqin's Mansion is nothing to worry about. Sister Chu, you have a marriage contract with Duke Zhao's Mansion, and the eldest concubine of Duke Zhao's Mansion The position can only be yours, no one else can take it away.

Even if Zhao Jingming takes in Guo Rong, she can only be a concubine. "

Before Ling Chu could speak again, Mrs. Tai followed closely and said, "Sister Chu, you grew up in a Taoist temple and don't understand many things. For this man, marrying a wife and taking concubines is a completely normal thing. You You can’t break off the engagement just because of this.”

Although Ling Zong felt that Zhao Jingming was getting involved with the eldest girl of Uncle Zhongqin's house before he married, which made him angry, but what his mother said was true and he couldn't say anything.

Ling Chu had long expected that breaking off the engagement would be opposed by everyone. Mr. Dong would not approve, and neither would the wife.

"But grandma, Uncle Zhongqin and his wife are the eldest brothers and sisters-in-law of Mrs. Zhao Guogong. Do you think they will let their eldest daughter be a concubine to Zhao Jingming?"

At first, Mrs. Dong really thought that what Ling Chu said was false, but now that she was talking about it with real sense, she couldn't help but start to doubt. Could it be that Zhao Jingming was really getting along with his cousin?

Dong frowned and thought about how to deal with this matter.

Mrs. Dong glanced at Ms. Dong who had her head lowered, wondering what the eldest daughter-in-law was thinking at this time.

He frowned and said to Ling Chu, "Sister Chu, you don't have to worry about this. Since the marriage has been decided, they can't change it if they want."

"Grandma, if our Ling Mansion is still the House of the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, there is no need to worry. But now we are just common people, and Zhongqin Bo Mansion is an official.

Do you think the Zhao Guogong Palace will agree to let me be the crown prince's concubine to the eldest son of Zhao Guogong?

Also, if Uncle Zhongqin’s Mansion threatens the child in Miss Guo’s belly, Guo Rong must be made Zhao Jingming’s concubine. Think about it carefully, what will Duke Zhao’s Mansion choose? "

The madam pursed her lips. There was no need to think carefully about the choice.

If she were the wife of Duke Zhao, she would definitely choose Guo Rong.

Everyone in the world values ​​their heirs, so how could Duke Zhao be willing to give up his own bloodline.

Moreover, if you marry Guo Rong, you can get closer to Uncle Zhongqin.

Looking at the expression on the lady's face, Ling Chu knew that she would understand without saying much, but she still said, "Even if I can marry the prince of Zhao, there is Guo Rong. With her relationship with the wife of the Duke of Zhao and Zhao Jingming's love for her, do you think I can compete with her?

If I am not favored, even if I am the prince's consort of the Duke of Zhao's mansion, I can't bring any help to my brothers and sisters at home. Grandmother, do you think this kind of marriage is really what you want?"

The lady didn't want her to break off the engagement. On the surface, she said it was all for her good.

But in fact, she just wanted to use this marriage to benefit everyone in the Ling family.

As for who Ling Chu married, it didn't matter. No one would care whether she was happy or not.

But if Ling Chu married into the Duke of Zhao's mansion, it would not bring any benefits to the Ling family. They had to make other plans for this marriage.

Minister Ling and the others were still weighing the options, but Ling Hao, who had been frowning, spoke first, "Grandfather and grandmother, father and mother, since Zhao Jingming is not a good match, let's call off this marriage. You can't let your elder sister jump into it knowing that it is a pit of fire."

In the entire Ling Mansion, except for the two maids around Ling Chu, only this eldest brother still has some sincerity towards her.

Although he felt sorry, his son had spoken, so Ling Zong could only say, "Father and mother, let's forget about this marriage."

At this point, Ling Mao knew that this marriage was meaningless, so he might as well make other plans as soon as possible.
