Chapter 615 Pick one
Zhang Wan has been thinking about the whole thing countless times these days, and has long formed her own opinion. No matter how Lin Junting persuaded her, she couldn't listen.
"I know these things better than you." After Lin Junting said it twice, Zhang Wan was still a little impatient, "You don't need to teach me how to do it."
"But you are so old, why haven't you ever married?"
"Gu Zhao has become the queen. Haven't you arranged to choose a noble girl with outstanding talent and extraordinary background for you?" Zhang Wan frowned, "I knew that she was used to doing some superficial skills, but in fact she was not close to her family at all."
"Now that the Lin family's direct descendants are withering, you will have children as soon as possible and have a branch and leaves are the top priority. Isn't she Su Zixu smart? Why can't she even think of this..."
Zhang Wan talked endlessly, Lin Junting's face was so dark that it could not be seen. "Mother, why can you push anything to the Empress? I don't want to marry, so what's the matter with the Empress?"
As soon as he returned to Shangjing City, he went to the most famous Laojun Temple in the suburbs of Beijing, and performed rituals for the deceased clan members of the Lin family and Chu Xianyu. He also lit an eternal lamp for Chu Xianyu, asking Daozu to bless her with wealth and peace in the next life.
When Chu Xianyu was alive, he never cherished it. Sometimes he even disliked him for always having to accompany Chu Xianyu on a trip, not having a horse-drawn fight, and not having fun enough;
But when Chu Xianyu died in his arms, Lin Junting knew what it means to be unforgettable...
Now he is considered to be of high power, so naturally there are many people who are tentatively proposing marriage to him, but he can never forget Chu Xianyu's face and cannot accept other women at all.
It was obvious that he didn't want to, so why did Gu Zhao just ignore his marriage?
Lin Junting looked at Zhang Wan deeply. The woman in front of her was so old that she was completely different from the wife of Duke Li Guo, but from beginning to end, her hostility towards Gu Zhao never changed.
He really didn't understand why Zhang Wan knew that Gu Zhao was her biological daughter, but she had no mother-daughter relationship at all. Instead, she opposed Gu Zhao in everything, and she didn't like anything Gu Zhao did.
"Forget it, this kind of thing is not something you guys have to tell me about." Zhang Wan waved her hand and found a seat to sit down. She was a little short of breath. "Since I'm back, I'll have an order tomorrow and announce that I will enter the palace. Then I will talk to Gu Zhao in person."
"I don't believe it. I sit in front of her, but she dares not take it seriously and won't pick a few good girls for you."
Zhang Wan thought that everything was in control, but she didn't expect that after waiting for a few days, there was no imperial edict. It seemed that Gu Zhao suddenly remembered her one day, so he issued an order to ask her to come back at will, but then he forgot her.
"This shouldn't be." Zhang Wan thought hard at home, "I have never heard that the Queen's parents were just civilians and had no reason to give them rewards."
"If this is seen, I would suspect that Gu Zhao will no longer be favored. I will inevitably be a little sharp-eyed. Is Gu Zhao stupid to choose a beautiful girl from the house to enter the palace to compete for favor? If a woman's family does not have the support of her powerful family, she will suffer a great loss."
Zhang Wan couldn't figure it out, but she just felt that something seemed to be beyond her expectations, and she felt something was wrong.
This feeling was confirmed after she heard about the identity of the new owner of the opposite door.
Although the yard opposite is not as wide and elegant as Lin Junting's house, it is also quite exquisite.
But the newly moved owner was not in line with the yard no matter how he looked. The old couple had a scathing look and a stupid face; the son, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, and son-in-law were all shy and looked shameful.
Just looking at their clothes, you will know how poor they are and it is impossible for them to afford such a house.
Zhang Wan had only seen her once, and she laughed at her in her heart, but she didn't expect that when she heard the maid talk about her, she realized that the family opposite was Gu, Gu Zhao.
It turned out to be Gu Zhao's adoptive parents' family in a small town in Jiangnan!
"How can they afford such a house?" Zhang Wan felt the crisis and took advantage of Lin Junting's return and called him over to ask.
Lin Junting replied calmly, "Of course it was rewarded by the Queen."
Zhang Wan screamed in shock, "Didn't she say that she almost died when she suffered a lot in the Gu family at the worst? Didn't the Gu family know that she was not her own daughter and abused her everywhere? Now that she is developing, shouldn't she kill all the Gu family? Why are she still..."
Under Lin Junting's quiet gaze, Zhang Wan's voice gradually became smaller.
"It turns out that my mother knows it." Lin Junting asked lightly when she shut up, "Since that's the case, why didn't I take my sister back?"
Zhang Wan lowered her head, but immediately raised her head again, and said angrily, "It is easy to pick it up, but after picking it up, what name should I put it in the mansion?"
Lin Junting frowned, "Of course it is an announcement to the world, so that everyone knows that she is my own sister, your daughter, the real eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion."
"Haha, you said it lightly! Have you forgotten how difficult it was for you and my mother and I in the Duke's Mansion at that time? Thanks to Xuerong's good manners and intelligence, and the prince's eyes, you can gain a foothold!"
