Traveling through life as a widow: six sons to support her in her old age

Chapter 213 Making the Best Use of Everything

Lan Qiyan asked the butler to divide the banquet dishes into two portions, one to be sent to the manor and the other to the Beggars' Sect. Isn't this making the best use of everything?

Li Shuyu was quite satisfied. Although this daughter-in-law was not particular about details, she had great sense of justice in her heart. After all, she was not living with him, so she was not the one who was angry. She was equally angry to everyone. Thinking of this, she felt balanced.

After Lan Qiyan returned home, he collapsed on the bed. It was too tiring to attend the banquet.

"Mom, baby, wake up."

Lan Qiyan twitched his lips. The little thing was very articulate when quarreling, and it was hard to tell that he was just a little kid.

Are you going to wake up again now?

"When do you plan to return to the palace?"

"Baby won't go back. Baby wants to stay with mom."

Lan Qiyan curled his lips and said, "I need your company. I have to cover myself with the quilt countless times a night and serve me three meals a day."

"If you don't go back, those two guys in the palace will miss you."

Little Seven shook his head. "They don't miss me at all. Father is busy coaxing mother, and mother is busy chasing after stories. They all think I'm a burden. Mother, I'm so pitiful."

"Shut up, you pathetic bastard, clean yourself up and get ready for bed."

Little Seven grinned, "Okay, Mom."

At the same time, Yu Ze was stopped by Chu Yun as soon as he returned to the mansion.

He was a little annoyed, "Is there something wrong with my mother?"

Chu Yun also looked disgusted, "Why, as your mother, I can't come to you?"

"Just tell me what you want to say."

"You are already 16. Meet Jiang Qi tomorrow."

Yu Ze frowned slightly, "Mother, just take care of yourself. Besides, men should focus on their careers first. This kind of thing is not worth considering for now."

"Xie Zezhi, don't you even listen to me?"

"I'm tired and need to rest." After saying that, Yu Ze left quickly.

Chu Yun looked at him viciously. This was what Lan Qiyan taught her. It was all that woman's fault. As a result, her own son became disobedient.

Today her brother found her and told her that Jiang Qi had reached the age to get married. After much thought, she realized that in this capital, the only place where she would not be bullied was with her aunt.

As soon as Jiang Xiao made the request, Chu Yun immediately agreed.

Who knew that he would react so strongly? He refused the toast and had to drink the forfeit wine. In that case, don't blame her.

Yuze returned to his yard and called the housekeeper.

"Uncle Liu, is my uncle here today?"

"In reply to the eldest master, Mr. Jiang did come to our house. He stayed for about an hour before leaving and took away a lot of things."

"Next time, don't let anyone in without my consent, not even one with the surname Jiang."

"If the lady makes a scene, you will be embarrassed too, young master."

"Shame on you? She has already lost face for the Xie family. Just do as I say. Put four people at the gatehouse. All of them have martial arts skills."

"Yes, eldest son."

……

Yu Ze didn't sleep well that night. He didn't want to get involved in marriage too early. A good man has ambitions. He will go to find his mother tomorrow. She will definitely find a way to make other people give up their ideas about him.

The next morning, Lan Qiyan was half asleep. When he saw Yu Ze in front of him with dark circles under his eyes, he was so scared that he woke up immediately.

"Did you go to the bridal chamber to make trouble? Did you crawl under Gu Rufeng's bed?"

"Mom, save me."

Over the years, Lan Qiyan had seldom heard this big boy make any requests, and he suddenly felt that things were not that simple.

"Son, tell me, whoever bullied you, I shot her."

"Mother, that man wants to be my matchmaker and marry Jiang Qi to me."

"Chu Yun?"

Yuze nodded.

Lan Qiyan slammed the table, her hand hurting, she blew on it, "It's ridiculous, why doesn't she get married? She is so stupid, she made a mess of a good family."

"It's okay, son. Just do your job well and leave the rest to me. I'll take care of it."

"Mom, I have another request."

Lan Qiyan rolled his eyes at him and said, "Why do you even have to make such a request?"

"Mom, I don't want to get married right now. I want to focus on my career."

"This is a good thing. At least after you are 20, you will be mature both physically and mentally. Leave this to me and go catch up on your sleep."

Yuze smiled, "Mom is the best, thank you mom." He ran briskly towards his yard.

Lan Qiyan yawned and said, "Tao, make some banners, beat the gongs and drums, and then follow me for a stroll on the street."

Chun Tao had a bad feeling, "Madam is going to cause trouble."

"Yeah, what else can we do if we don't do anything?"

"What does the banner say?"

"Come and I'll tell you."

Half an hour later, four servants came carrying banners, one with the names of her seven sons and the other with their marriage requirements.

There were also a few security guards holding candies and walking around, attracting passers-by to follow them.

Chuntao and Xiahe beat the gongs, while Qiuye and Dongxue hung drums around their necks.

Lan Qiyan herself took the loudspeaker that she had bought from her Taobao space for one or two taels of silver.

"Hello, hello... brothers, sisters, fellow countrymen, good morning.

Let me tell you something. I have seven sons. Although they are not my biological children, I raised them myself.

So I have made the final decision on their marriages. Now my eldest son is 16, and some people are ready to take charge and arrange a wife for my son. I tell you, you are dreaming.

My sons have the interests of their country and family in their hearts, and they hold the common people in their hands.

They must benefit the people before the age of 20, and only after the age of 20 can they consider getting married.

Moreover, there is no requirement for a certain background when it comes to marrying a wife. As long as she has good moral character, consistent values, and we like each other, I, Lan Qiyan, will treat everyone equally and actively advocate my son's free love.

I am an open-minded mother-in-law. As long as my daughter-in-law doesn't act like a troublemaker, I will treat you well with all my heart.

If you want to cause trouble, I'm sorry, but I'll show you why the flowers are so red.

This is all off topic. My point is just one: my son can decide who to marry and when to marry.

Some people only give birth but do not raise children, so they have no right to make decisions. I don't even give face to the emperor and empress, so who do you think you are?

In addition, I, Lan Qiyan, promise that when my son finds a good match, there will be a three-day banquet and everyone can come."

After Lan Qiyan finished speaking, the shouts came one after another, howling.

After hearing this, Chu Yun smashed all the teacups and vases in the room.

Lan Qiyan actually dared to treat her like this, very good.

Xie Zezhi, you have completely wasted the last bit of your kindness.

"Ma'am, be careful with your hands."

"Listen to me, listen to me. He and that unpresentable guy are bullying me together. I won't let them go."

"Bang..." The door fell to the ground.

"Why won't you let me go? Tell me about it. I'll listen. Maybe I can improve your method for you."

Chu Yun looked at the figure that appeared at the door and trembled with anger, "Lan Qiyan, you are going too far."
