Chapter 190: Right in the door?

"It turns out that Aunt Cen also met Zhuo Jing back then." Chu Cailiang hurriedly brought the relationship closer.

Aunt Cen smiled faintly: "I dare not, when Aunt Yingtong was popular with the Empress, I was just a little palace maid who cleaned up."

But now, Lu Yingtong has passed away for thirteen years. The little palace maid who was cleaning up at the time has now become a person who can handle the work of Concubine Shu.

Chu Junlan lowered his eyes and keenly realized that Aunt Cen might have had a holiday with her mother.

Aunt Cen smiled and said, "Miss Three, please come to me."

Chu Junlan followed the words and bent his knees carefully. Before he could get up, his right hand was grabbed by a hand with a jade ring.

The hand pinched the flesh on her hand as if she was evaluating the goods, and patted her face.

"Miss Chu San has such a good appearance and excellent medical skills. Now she has a good marriage from Prince Wang's family. It's really a shame..."

Aunt Cen shook her head and let go of Chu Junlan's hand.

She was so shocked that the room was silent. Everyone held their breath and focused, as if they wanted to see something from Aunt Cen's face.

Chu Cailiang was as worried as Chu Huating, Aunt Su was as indifferent as Chu Peishan, and Chu Mengying was gloating.

Chu Yunjiao was worried. It seemed that something was wrong with this marriage? If Chu Junlan could not marry Prince Gongding, how would she become a mother?

Everyone had different thoughts, but in the blink of an eye.

Chu Cailiang asked carefully: "What a pity?"

Aunt Cen shook her head and sighed: "You may not know yet. Earlier, the emperor had many relatives who submitted memorials, saying that they were the future princess selected by the prince, and their background was too low.

"At that time, Prince Gongdao was stupid and stupid. It made sense to think about it. Later, as Miss Chu's reputation as the young doctor immortal, Prince Gongdao's stupidity gradually improved. The old patriarch of the royal family admitted Prince Gongdao, and no one said this for the time being."

When Aunt Cen said this, she sighed and shook her head, "It's a pity that something big happened in your mansion. Originally, Miss Chu could still be considered a daughter of the official family. Even if her family is lower, it is reasonable. Is it to support each other with Prince Gongding and the King of Gang Ding? But now, Miss Chu San is not considered a daughter of the Guan family."

In a word, Chu Cailiang was extremely ugly and his face turned pale.

Yes, he lost his official position because of a fire in the back house, but he would not have asked a palace servant to humiliate him like this!

However, even if Chu Cailiang felt uneasy, he knew that the people around Concubine Shu could not be guilty. He had to suppress his anger and smile on his face.

"Yes, what you said is that the Chu family's family is indeed not as good as before. Fortunately, Sister Lan'er's brother is a loyal and brave man praised by the emperor. The emperor also said that he would allow Brother Ting to participate in the spring examination directly. I think the day to change the family is not far away."

"What Mr. Chu said is reasonable." Aunt Cen smiled, "But this year's selection of materials has ended. Unless you have to open a sect, you will have to wait for three years. The result will be unknown in three years. Even if Mr. Chu can win the top scorer, the third lady's marriage will not last for three years, right?"

After saying this, Chu Cailiang only had cold sweat on his forehead. Judging from what he meant, would Chu Junlan's marriage be about to fail?

He has fallen into the mud pit now, and he is all counting on his children to help him. If something happens, Chu Cailiang doesn't know if he can hold on.

Aunt Cen picked up the tea and took a bite to moisten her throat, sighed, "Don't say that Mr. Chu is worried about this matter these days, and the Imperial Concubine was even more worried about the marriage between Miss Chu and Prince Gongding. Those relatives, in general, just think that Miss Chu's background is not noble enough. With Miss Chu's character and talent, if she is taller, she will naturally be worthy of the prince, right? It's because the Imperial Concubine gave the emperor a good idea."

Aunt Cen smiled and pulled Chu Junlan's hand and said, "Mr. Chu, I believe both Mr. Chu and Miss Chu know about it?"

Chu Junlan's expression remained unchanged, but he was shocked.

Isn’t the Maoguo Duke’s Mansion the one that brought her a set of 32 pieces of pure gold nodded and green a few days ago?

Chu Cailiang nodded: "How can I not know where the Duke Mao Mansion? A few days ago, the wife of the Duke Mao also gave some jewelry from her little girl."

"That's it," Aunt Cen stroked her hands, "It's still the wife of the Prince of Mao who is interested. The emperor understands this when he mentions it."

Chu Junlan and Chu Huating looked at each other, and the brother and sister vaguely had some bad premonition in their hearts.

Aunt Cen said with a smile: "That's right, the clans are dissatisfied with Miss Chu's low origins, and the Imperial Concubine gives the emperor's worries, so she said, "Miss Chu has no talent and character. If she just dislikes her low origins, she will give Miss Chu a background worthy of the royal family."

"The emperor remembered that the Duke of Mao has been loyal and kind for generations. The Duke of Mao is now the Minister of Personnel. He is a pillar of the emperor. Moreover, the Duke of Mao only has two sons but no daughter. He has been looking forward to a daughter for many years. The most important thing is that Duke of Mao is also surnamed Chu. Do you think this is destined in the dark?"

Chu Junlan narrowed his eyes slightly and lowered his eyes without saying a word.

Chu Huating understood, but his face turned pale and fell into deep thought.

"What do you mean is to let Sister Lan recognize Prince Mao as her adoptive father?"

"How can a person as smart as Mr. Chu do not understand what I say?"

Aunt Cen said with a smile, "It's not that the third lady recognizes her adoptive father. From now on, the third lady will be the legitimate daughter of the Prince of Mao. Her household registration is in the Duke of Mao. From then on, she will no longer be a person from a commoner family. She will get married in the royal jade certificate in the future and will be respectful to the Prince's concubine's family as well as the Duke of Mao."

"How did this make it!" Chu Cailiang screamed.

Aunt Cen immediately lowered her face, "Why, Master Chu wants to disobey the concubine?"

"This... I...Lan Jie'er is my legitimate daughter, my only legitimate daughter. She is finally going to get married, how could I..." Chu Cailiang said incoherently.

Aunt Cen waved her hand and chuckled again: "At present, I just came to the mansion to inform you. The emperor and the imperial concubine have worked hard to make it difficult for the third lady in the mansion to be able to be 'matched'. Master Chu must not be rude."

"It's not that I don't know how to be polite. This... Sister Lan is my daughter, and the well-known 'little doctor immortal'. This is something that many high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital know about it. What's going on if you change this way?"
