Chapter 392 The Wife Used as a Shield 14
Wang Meihua also gradually forgot her original intention. When the two of them first came, they were there to keep an eye on Jiangnan and make connections for the Sixth Prince.
However, because he had no money and the Sixth Prince had been dealt a bad hand in the past two years, almost no one came to rely on him.
Chu Xinghe achieved nothing in Jiangnan except taking eight concubines and having eight sons.
Because the Chu family was suppressed by the prince, they have now become seventh-rank officials, while the Zhou family followed the prince and was quietly promoted to the fourth rank.
The Sixth Prince has been anxious for some time, and he found that Chu Xinghe is really useless.
I've been in Jiangnan for more than two years, and apart from some insignificant news, I haven't brought back a single useful person.
But almost no one took up the olive branch he extended.
This is all thanks to Lin Suiying. She gave contraceptive drugs to other concubines and concubines in the same way that the Sixth Prince had given her drugs.
All the officials in the family were dismissed, and they were discovered by someone.
Afterwards, Lin Suiying quietly let this group of women with backgrounds accidentally discover the Sixth Prince's plan.
Let this group of people know that they are now stepping stones for the Sixth Prince and Wang Guihua to ascend to the throne.
This also made these women and their families completely disappointed in the Sixth Prince, and the news spread widely in private.
All the news was secretly passed to the emperor, who was very disappointed.
Therefore, whenever these people met the Sixth Prince, they were polite on the surface, but if the topic involved state affairs, they would all laugh it off.
The Sixth Prince could only go to find his legal father-in-law, Marquis of Jinyang.
But his father-in-law said that the most important condition for seizing the throne was offspring, especially a legitimate son.
The emperor values the legitimate children. Hasn't he seen how favored the crown prince has been over the years? Among them, the crown prince's three legitimate sons and one legitimate daughter are so pampered.
The Sixth Prince returned to his residence in a trance and thought carefully all night.
Finally, it was discovered that no child had been born in the Sixth Prince's Mansion since he got married.
His seventh and eighth brothers, who got married later than him, already had three or four children. Even his ninth brother, who just got married, was said to have the Ninth Prince's wife pregnant for a month.
The Sixth Prince finally understood why these ministers were unwilling to follow him. He had no children, so even his father would not consider him much.
It is precisely because they have no sons that these ministers feel that the marriage is not reliable.
Only at this time did he regret that he had destroyed his wife's fertility because of Wang Guihua, a woman who changed as soon as she married him.
A doctor was immediately found to examine Lin Suiying to see if she could still have children.
The Sixth Prince was disappointed to find out that she could not give birth, but he thought that when other women gave birth to children, they would be registered under the name of the queen and would be considered legitimate sons.
So the Sixth Prince began to wander around the backyard like crazy, and found many women who looked good at giving birth.
After working hard for half a year, I didn't get any results.
Chu Xinghe also started to take the imperial examination, but despite all the hardships he endured, he still failed.
Because there are too many things to do at home and too many struggles, he is annoyed.
After he went out, he had the beauty prepared by Luo Chen to accompany him and enjoy the romance, and he had a good time in these three years.
Luo Chen also gave the prince a lot of help, and the situation in Jiangnan was almost under Luo Chen's control.
Even if other princes reached out on the first day, the crown prince would know about it on the second day.
The layout has been set. All the prince has to do is be a filial son and a good grandson, cultivate his relationship with the emperor every day, and wait for the old emperor to die in four years.
There was really no way to move. If he moved again, the emperor would find out and become wary of him. Therefore, apart from taking care of government affairs, the prince was teaching his sons.
As the prince's confidant, Zhou Linnan also calmed down. This silence reminded him of his 19-year-old sister who had not yet married.
So he started to talk nonsense and wrote a letter to his sister, saying that it had been three years and people had forgotten what happened back then, so it was time to come back and settle the important matter of life.
She was somewhat helpless. In ancient times, women really had to get married. Fortunately, her brother said that her own wishes came first, otherwise he would probably not notify her until the marriage was finalized.
So I went back.
When the prince learned about this, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have told others that he would arrange a marriage for Luo Chen in the future.
So he searched around in his own camp and found the brother of his concubine.
Concubine Mo was the concubine daughter of Marquis Zhongyong and had a legitimate brother.
Because I went out to fight in the war, I delayed my marriage. Now I am 26 years old, which is just the right age.
He told the matter to Marquis Zhongyong, and with the help of the prince as matchmaker, the Marquis Zhongyong's mansion agreed.
Because the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion was openly owned by the prince, the prince specifically asked the emperor to grant a marriage to the general who had just returned from victory.
Therefore, when Chu Xinghe brought his large group of wives and children back to visit his parents, he saw the scene of the Prince of Loyalty and Bravery getting married.
The ten-mile red wedding dress went from Zhou’s Mansion to the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.
Wang Meihua was envious and asked passers-by, "Whose wedding is this?"
The passerby replied, "Oh, she is the younger sister of Mo Lan, the son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, and Lord Zhou Linnan, the Minister of the Honglu Temple."
"Zhou Linnan's sister!?" Chu Xinghe suddenly looked over and asked.
"Yes, you are from other places, looking at the large and small bags.
You don’t know, this girl from the Zhou family is truly a legend.
She married the eldest son of the Chu family, but he had a lover and ignored Zhou.
Zhou didn't tolerate him and divorced him directly.
Tell me, how many women can do this? Most women will silently endure the neglect in the hope that their husbands will change their minds.
But Miss Zhou divorced him and left for three years. Now she happened to meet Master Mo, who is 26 years old and still unmarried.
They are both old and just happened to meet each other. This is fate, a match made in heaven."
Another passerby whispered, "It's hard to say whether it's a good match or not."
Wang Meihua, who was jealous, suddenly heard this and asked, "What do you mean?"
The passerby said: "This Mo Shizi was arranged to marry when he was fourteen, and was about to get married when he was sixteen, but the woman died of illness.
Later, when he was seventeen years old, he got another marriage arranged, but the wife of the marquis passed away.
After three years of mourning, he was about to get married again, but the woman died in an accident, so the rumor spread that Prince Mo was unlucky in marriage.
At that time, many people did not dare to marry their girls into the imperial court, so Master Mo went directly to the battlefield and stayed there for six years.
Now that he has returned, the emperor has granted the marriage and the two families can hold the wedding. I just don’t know if Prince Mo can marry his new wife.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Meihua was immediately happy. She just wanted to see how long Luo Chen could hold on before being killed.
Chu Xinghe didn't want to listen any more, so he took a group of people back to his home.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw eight three-year-old children and Chu's father and mother waiting for him to come back.
Looking at the huge family that Chu Xinghe brought back and Luo Chen’s wedding today, I am really not very happy.
