Chapter 472 Chapter 473: Forcing Yun Zhao to take action

The eldest lady was slightly relieved after hearing Yun Zhao's words. She was afraid that Yun Zhao would care about his relationship with Ming'an County Lord and be more optimistic about this marriage.

Although Changchang is a bastard, he has been studying very diligently in the south in the past few years. He has high hopes of passing the high school entrance examination this year. Naturally, he does not want his wife to be chosen by an inappropriate person and disturb the family.

It’s not that the girls from the Ding family are bad, it’s that they have too many things to worry about. If they really want to become in-laws, they will be in trouble in the future.

Song Yunzhao thought for a while and said, "Auntie, I think since the Ding family is interested, there may be sequels. If you and uncle are not optimistic about this marriage, you should quickly make a marriage arrangement for your second cousin."

To avoid long nights and many dreams.

The eldest lady also had this intention. After hearing what Yun Zhao said, she immediately said: "I will go back and discuss it with your eldest uncle. There are girls from a few families who I think are good, but because of what happened to Changchang this year, I originally wanted to wait until this day." We will discuss the marriage with him after the incident, and we don’t want this accident to happen.”

Song Yunzhao understood what the eldest lady meant. If Song Kuangchang could win the Jinshi, things would be different when discussing marriage. There would be more girls to choose from. Now, even if he has good academic performance and is a concubine of the uncle's house, his future will not be the same. It is not clear that a real high-ranking man will not marry his daughter to him.

The eldest lady hurriedly left the palace after discussing with Yun Zhao. She still had many things to be busy with here, and Changchang's marriage was of top priority.

 One day later, Song Yunzhao met He Lanyun again.

These days have been the busiest in more than a year. When I first saw He Lanyun, I saw that her face looked bad and a little haggard, which was not consistent with her temperament.

"What's wrong with you?" Song Yunzhao asked with concern, not thinking about the Ding family's affairs for a moment.

He Lanyun's face became even more subtle as soon as she met Yun Zhao's concerned gaze, and she hesitated and didn't know how to speak.

Song Yunzhao understood instantly and asked: "Because of the Ding family's affairs? Is this embarrassing you?"

Helan Yun listened to Yun Zhao's direct question and did not hide it. She could not hold back her anger and said to Yun Zhao: "I thought this marriage was not bad. Governor Ding is a feudal official, and Ding Wei She has a pretty appearance and a gentle temperament. Although my eldest aunt is a bit strict in her work, she is kind-hearted and treats her stepdaughter as her own. Who would have thought..."

Song Yunzhao knew that he might have thought wrong in some places. It was not that there was discord between Mrs. Ding and her stepdaughter. It seemed that the problem still lay with Ding Xian.

 She did not speak, waiting for He Lanyun to continue.

 “I just now know that something happened to Ding Xian.”

Song Yunzhao's heart sank, and sure enough, "If something happened to Ding Xian, she must not know the outcome yet, so Mrs. Ding thought of marrying off her stepdaughter first to find a place for her, so she took a fancy to the Song family." With my beloved concubine here, Ding Wei will be safe and sound, right?"

Song Yunzhao was angry. Mrs. Ding was such a good stepmother and so great, but why did the Song family keep her in the dark?

He Lanyun looked at Yun Zhao with some shame, "After I learned the truth, I made it clear to my eldest sister. Don't worry, this marriage can't happen. I came into the palace to make it clear to you, so that you don't know the truth and have wild thoughts."

Song Yunzhao didn't expect He Lanyun to be so straightforward. She worriedly said: "Now you have offended Mrs. Ding."

"That's not necessarily true. I used to play with her when I was a child, and my eldest sister treats me like a younger sister. Even if she is angry, it will be fine in two days. That child Ding Wei is really pitiful, a very well-behaved and poor child, but she met such a poor child. It's a hurdle, I don't know who I will end up with in the future." Since He Lanyun got married and became a mother herself, she has gained a bit more tenderness like a mother.

 “What happened to Governor Ding?” Song Yunzhao felt that the root cause still lies in this.

He Lanyun shook her head, "It's not clear to me that the eldest sister said she was worried, but it seems to be related to the injury of the eldest brother-in-law last year."

“Didn’t Governor Ding win in the encounter with the pirates last year?” Song Yunzhao said.

He Lanyun sighed softly, "The battle was won, but a big leader of the pirates ran away at that time. This year, His Majesty's implementation of the New Deal caused a stir in the south. This man went everywhere to deceive people and unite the local wealthy families and court officials. To resist the New Deal. My eldest brother-in-law didn’t know at the time that these people had set a trap for him. He was drunk after attending a banquet and signed some document.” Song Yunzhao:…

 What document?

 It must be a document to boycott the imperial envoy.

Song Yunzhao looked at He Lanyun and asked, "Does Duke Qin know about this?"

When He Lanyun heard Yun Zhao ask about her husband, she said with a downcast face: "I only found out last night. He only mentioned a few words to me after he found out. Otherwise, if I come to see you today and intercede for the Ding family, I will You are also in trouble."

It was precisely because of this that He Lanyun was angry, Mrs. Sheng Ding was angry, but remembering how protective she was in the past, she couldn't get rid of this anger and could only hold it in. It was strange that she could look good.

“So, you still don’t know what the document signed by Governor Ding is?”

He Lanyun shook her head, "But looking at the eldest sister's behavior this time, I'm afraid it's not a big deal."

They are all busy marrying off their stepdaughter first to protect her safety. The matter must be serious.

Song Yunzhao asked again, "You don't know what Governor Na Ding's attitude is?"

He Lanyun shook her head again.

Song Yunzhao was silent. He didn’t know anything about this. You said you weren’t angry in vain?

“We are definitely not able to resolve this matter at this stage. You should go back first. In my opinion, let Duke Qin confess to your majesty frankly. Perhaps Governor Ding still has a chance to survive.”

He Lanyun's face turned pale. She trusted Yun Zhao very much. Hearing what she said, her heart was moved. She subconsciously asked softly: "Can I save my life?"

Song Yunzhao thought to himself what a mistake this was. The bottom line was just to save his life.

 “It depends on how Governor Ding can make meritorious deeds.” Song Yunzhao said.

He Lanyun was thoughtful and then stood up, "I'm going to tell my husband that I have to give it a try no matter what. The eldest brother-in-law is quite a good person, but he accidentally fell into the villain's scheme."

He Lanyun left the palace in a hurry, but Song Yunzhao felt that this matter was probably a trick from the beginning.

Mrs. Ding got in touch with the Song family in the name of marrying her stepdaughter, and she also revealed such news. She clearly wanted to use the Song family to deliver the news to her.

 When she comes to this beloved concubine, she will naturally be heard by the emperor.

Perhaps Madam Ding’s original purpose was to go to Heaven to listen. I don’t know if it was a matter of discussion between the two couples or her own plan.

All in all, Yun Zhao didn’t have a very good impression of Mrs. Ding.

　　I admire her for being brave and resourceful, but I also hate that she used such methods to force her to end.
