Arc 3 Chapter 146: Scheming Lord, Cooperate a Bit (33)
"Someone, prepare my court attire! I'm going to report to the court!" Marquis of An Yong shouted like a madman.
"No, you mustn't!" The old lady, who had just arrived with assistance suppressed her pain and said "Close the gates of the mansion. Come with me back to the room."
"Mother, your granddaughter has been taken away. Waiting a bit longer means more danger." Marquis of An Yong couldn't believe what he heard.
"I said come with me!" The old lady stomped her foot in frustration and then erupted into a severe coughing fit.
"Big brother, our mother is getting old and she's just been severely injured. How can you defy her like this?" The second eldest and third eldest held back the old lady and expressed their disagreement.
"Useless!" The old lady was irritated and coughed twice more. She raised her hand to stop the second and third eldest, who wanted to comfort her and continued, "Look at the entire realm. How many people want to marry their daughters into Weichi Che? Now that he has taken Ranyan on his own, what better way to ensure everlasting peace than through marriage? I have always been loyal to the Yuchi family, so marrying Luo Liyan to such a scheming minister would be the best way to gain the royal family's trust. As long as there is something to restrain Weichi Che, the royal power will be secure and I'm sure the emperor and empress dowager will be happy to facilitate this."
"But..." The Marquis of An Yong couldn't stand Weichi Che from the bottom of his heart, so even though he understood his mother's words, he still wanted to make a final stand.
The Marquis of An Yong family had been loyal for generations. If they married Luo Liyan to Weichi Che, how could they ever wash away that stain?
"But what? Weichi Che came here today and forcibly took Luo Liyan away. So many people saw it and within a day the whole capital will know. Once her reputation is ruined and it's the person Weichi Che has his eye on, do you think anyone will dare to marry her in the future?"
The old lady was about to faint from the stubbornness of her eldest son. She did her best to persuade him.
"If it comes to that, just let Luo Liyan stay in the Marquis residence for her whole life." Marquis of An Yong was still reluctant to compromise.
Hearing the words of the old lady and her husband, Lady Luo suddenly threw herself at the Marquis of An Yong feet, hugging him tightly.
"Marquis you can't! If Luo Liyan doesn't marry anyone, it's like ruining her life!"
Marquis of An Yong frowned as he looked at his stubborn mother and his wife, who was crying uncontrollably. He felt a splitting headache and in the end, he could only sigh in resignation.
"Alright, alright. Prepare my court attire. I will request the emperor to issue a marriage edict."
