Chapter 308: Does the Son-in-Law Want to Take a Concubine?
When Ye Nanyan heard Mrs. Xie ask this, she was puzzled for a moment: "Mother, why do you ask this?"
When there were no outsiders around in private, Ye Nanyue had already changed her words.
Madam Xie gently squeezed Ye Nanyue's hand and said, "I heard from Qi Yang that on the day of the enthronement ceremony, a woman stopped the carriage, but the son-in-law didn't punish her. Instead, he gave her money. Is this... a mistress he kept outside?"
"Your father said that during the past two morning court sessions, officials have been impeaching my son-in-law, saying that he has poor personal ethics!"
Ye Nanyue frowned slightly. Could it be that Lu Huaiyang’s political enemies are already impatient to take action?
Otherwise, how could such a small matter be brought to the court so quickly?
A "commoner" stopping a horse-drawn carriage should be a public security issue.
Ye Nanyue vaguely smelled a different scent from it.
Lu Huaiyang is now in the ascendant and is receiving attention from the emperor. His political enemies will surely attract a lot of jealous people.
However, this is not necessarily a bad thing for Lu Huaiyang.
After all, the more people who envy him and the more people who cause trouble for him, the more at ease the emperor will be.
She believed that Lu Huaiyang could handle this kind of thing very well, and she didn't need to worry at all.
"Mom, are you worried that your son-in-law will get into trouble, or are you worried that your daughter will be bullied?" Ye Nanyue asked with a smile.
Madam Xie was stunned for a moment, then gave her a reproachful look: "It's already this hour, and you're still in the mood to joke with your mother?"
Ye Nanyan: "If you're still in the mood to laugh and joke, then it proves that nothing's wrong. Only then can mother be relieved, right?"
Mrs. Xie was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing, "Tell me quickly, what's going on?"
Ye Nanyan patted Madam Xie's hand and said, "Mom, it's okay."
"That was one of his counselors, a woman. She was captured yesterday and brought back. It's not convenient to tell anyone about her at the moment."
Ye Nanyue said, "She's not some mistress. As for the impeachment, he's currently gaining momentum, so it's understandable that some people are dissatisfied and want to cause trouble for him."
After hearing what Ye Nanyan said, Madam Xie also felt that there was some truth in it. She nodded slowly and said, "What you said is true, but... after all, she is a woman. Will she really be favored by her son-in-law?"
At this moment, Ye Nanyue really couldn't say for sure.
After all, she is the original heroine.
But the task given to her by the system is not Lu Huaiyang’s only one, so it’s fine as long as it doesn’t affect her completion of the task.
Ye Nanyan comforted Madam Xie: "Mom, don't worry about this. If it's not her, there will be someone else."
"He's a prince. Which prince doesn't have three wives and four concubines? We should have been mentally prepared a long time ago. Otherwise... wouldn't that just make us feel upset?"
Ye Nanyue's words made Madam Xie's eyes red. She couldn't help but look at Ye Nanyue with heartache: "That's what I said, but mother loves you. Your son-in-law is so good to you, he shouldn't take a concubine as soon as he returns to Beijing and gets his name established... At least wait a while."
"Once your identity is revealed and your maternal family recognizes you, you can marry a concubine or a concubine. At least your position will not be shaken..."
As Mrs. Xie spoke, she felt even more upset.
Ye Nanyue married Lu Huaiyang by accident, and it is not known whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.
If they had recognized each other earlier, before she married Lu Huaiyang, perhaps she could have been arranged a suitable marriage.
It doesn’t matter if the family background is a little lower, at least the daughter won’t be wronged.
Just like when Xie Songlin proposed to her, he made a promise that he would not take a concubine in the future, so that his daughter would suffer less grievances and live a more comfortable life.
The more she thought about it, the more distressed Mrs. Xie felt.
Ye Nanyue knew that Madam Xie loved her and couldn't bear to see her suffer any injustice.
Ye Nanyan said seriously, "Mother, don't worry. The prince is not an ungrateful person. He and I have feelings for each other, so how could he give up so easily?"
"Even if he takes a concubine, he will respect my ideas and put me first."
"Besides, this is all just a figment of your imagination. If you start worrying about it now, won't you just be causing yourself trouble?"
Madam Xie nodded: "My son-in-law is a caring person, but... who is that woman? Is she a threat to you? If my son-in-law really treats her differently, do you want to..."
Ye Nanyan's heart skipped a beat. No matter how good Madam Xie was to her, she was, after all, a master of domestic fighting, and definitely not a soft-hearted saint.
But she couldn't just kill the heroine of the original book. As a modern person, she couldn't get over it.
"Mom, no."
Ye Nanyan said sternly, "That woman has no sense of propriety, no respect for inferiority, and no restraint... The prince is just using her."
Although Ye Nanyue was saying these words to comfort Mrs. Xie, she was not wrong.
Lu Huaiyang is an innocent ancient man. His main mission is to become emperor. In the original book, his love for the heroine is also because of her uniqueness and ability.
But now, she has completed her mission to this extent, coupled with her superb acting skills and system mall, Lu Huaiyang must be stupid to fall in love with a time-traveling girl who talks so much about time travel!
What she should be more worried about now is...Xie Qiyang.
In the original book, Xie Qiyang is a bootlicker of the time-traveling girl.
A shrewd person like Lu Huaiyang would only be using the time-traveling girl even if he really married her.
But if Xie Qiyang gets acquainted with Jiang Liuli and goes down the same old path, that would be a bit troublesome.
Don’t let the relationship between the two families become strained.
"That's fine, that's fine."
Mrs. Xie knew her daughter's temperament and thought she wouldn't just sit there and wait for death, so she breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, as long as you know your limits."
Ye Nanyue's expression immediately turned serious, and she said, "Mother, please keep an eye on Qi Yang these few days and tell him not to come to the palace to see me unless necessary."
"What's wrong? Is that brat bothering you?" Mrs. Xie asked hurriedly.
Ye Nanyan didn't know how to explain this to Madam Xie. When she asked, she said, "That's not the case. It's just... didn't you say there was an impeachment? What if someone uses this as a commemoration and accuses me of being impolite?"
After all, his identity has not been made public yet.
After hearing what Ye Nanyan said, Mrs. Xie also felt that it made sense and nodded: "Well, it's better to disclose your identity as soon as possible."
Now that they know that Xie Qiyang is his biological brother, outsiders can't say much.
Ye Nanyue said, "After this is over, we can find out the truth and purpose behind the Guan family and make it public."
Madam Xie nodded: "The Chongyang Palace Banquet is coming soon. When the time comes, I will find a way to bring Xie Wan Ning into the palace as well."
Ye Nanyue understood in an instant: "Since what happened back then is related to the palace, and Xie Wanning was brought into the palace at this time...the person behind the scenes will be easily exposed."
Madam Xie glanced at Ye Nanyue with admiration: "As expected of my daughter, she is indeed smart."
Ye Nanyan laughed: "Mom, are you praising me or yourself?"
