C94 The Empress Dowager's Decree

"To the Leng Mansion?" Nanny Wu looked at Madame Su and asked, "Madam is going to the Leng Mansion this time?" "Didn't you see the Taoist who went out just now?" Nanny Wu nodded. "I saw him. He went to the accounting room to collect the reward happily."

"Yes." Madame Su tidied her clothes and said to Nanny Wu, "Didn't I tell him to calculate the days? The days have already been calculated. Of course, he should go and discuss with Lord Leng as soon as possible to get the marriage arranged."

Nanny Wu heard and frowned. She looked at Madame Su and asked, "Did Madam really choose a auspicious day for the two of them?"

Madame Su heard this and laughed. She gave Nanny Wu a slanted look and Madame Su shook her head and said, "What do you think? I am not born with a Bodhisattva heart." Nanny Wu understood and nodded, "Then I will go with Madam."

In the main hall of Leng Mansion, Leng Zongchang greeted Madame Su with tea and snacks with a smile on his face. Madame Su smiled and drank a few cups of tea. When she had almost finished a plate of desserts, she finally could not eat anymore. She put the cup in her hand on the table and said to Leng Zongchang with a smile, "Lord Leng, actually I came today..."

"Come, come, Madam. Quickly taste this newly made Hibiscus Cake. It melts in the mouth and is delicate and soft. It is very delicious..." Before Madame Su could finish her sentence, Leng Zongchang immediately cut her off.

Madame Su had a headache, but she still continued, "Lord Leng should still remember the day he asked me to pick, right? Leng Zongchang interrupted Madame Su again, "Come, come, come. My Green Hellish Spring is also a rare good tea. Madam, quickly have a taste..."

"Lord Leng!" Madame Su's patience was almost exhausted. She placed the teacup that Servant Girl handed over onto the table heavily and made a muffled sound. Madame Su sighed and said, "Lord Leng, can you listen to me?"

"I..." Leng Zongchang let out a long sigh and said, "Actually, I also have some things I want to say to you, madam. It's just that... sigh... then madam, you go first."

Seeing that Leng Zongchang was finally able to give her a chance to speak, Madame Su's expression eased a little. She looked at Leng Zongchang and said, "It's like this, Lord Leng, I have some connections and found Xuan Zhen's disciple. A few days ago, you asked me to take your son and Nianxi's birth dates to calculate their wedding date. Now, that Daoist has already calculated it for me."

Leng Zongchang frowned and looked up to see Madame Su looking at him. He coughed and said, "Oh? Thank you, madam. May I know which day it is?"

"It is the twelfth of next month." Madame Su smiled and said to Leng Zongchang, "That Taoist priest said that according to Young Master Leng and Nianxi's birth date, the twelfth of the first month is the most suitable day for them to get married. If the two of them can get married on the 12th of the next month, they will definitely be respectful to each other."

Leng Zongchang only frowned and nodded after hearing this, but he did not say anything. Madame Su looked at Leng Zongchang and continued," But that Daoist also said that no matter what, we must not let the two of them get married on the fifteenth of next month. That day just happens to be the opposite of their birth dates. If we do not make it to the twelfth of next month, then forget it. We must not choose the fifteenth of next month! "

Leng Zongchang maintained an expression the whole time, but after Madame Su finished speaking, he softly acknowledged. Then, he went about his own business and poured a cup of tea and did not say anything else.

Seeing Leng Zongchang's expression, Madame Su was a little annoyed. After taking a deep breath, Madame Su looked at Leng Zongchang and said, "Lord Leng, did you listen to me or not?"

"Sigh..." Leng Zongchang let out a long sigh and shook his head at Madame Su. "Prime Minister's wife. I... I also have some things to say to you. I'm afraid that after you hear what I said, you will no longer have the mood to discuss any auspicious matters with me."

"Oh?" Madame Su frowned and squinted her eyes at Leng Zongchang. "I have finished what I wanted to say. What does Lord Leng want to say to me?"

"This..." Leng Zongchang looked a little troubled. He seemed to have something to say, but it was a little difficult to say. He gritted his teeth and finally opened his mouth. "That Prime Minister's wife... if I tell you, you must not be angry..."

Madame Su rolled her eyes and thought, If you don't say it, I will really be angry.

"Tell me." Madame Su's face was full of smiles again. "We are about to become in-laws. " What else is there to say? "

Hearing Madame Su say this, Leng Zongchang's expression became even more troubled, but he still hesitantly opened his mouth. "Although I really want Nianxi to be my daughter-in-law, but... but now it seems like I can't..."

"What?" Madame Su immediately stood up from the chair and said emotionally, "What's going on? "Lord Leng and your son promised me that day. Why did they go back on their word now?"

Leng Zongchang had already expected Madame Su to react like this when he said those words. He frowned and said in a gentle tone, "Prime Minister's wife, you... Calm down first. I don't want to go back on my word. But... but I can't do anything about it."

Madame Su immediately sat down when she realized that her actions just now were a little out of place. She picked up a cup of tea on the table and drank a few mouthfuls. Only then did she manage to suppress the anger in her heart. Her mind slowly spun a few times. Madame Su felt that there was something wrong with Leng Zongchang today, so she raised her head and looked at him. Her tone was as gentle as possible. "Lord Leng, what is going on? Even if you are going to die," she said. It's time for me to die to understand something. '

"This..." Leng Zongchang shook his head. "Madam, you are too serious. " Sigh, it is also strange. Just as I and Madam have finalized the marriage between my son and Nianxi, Not long after, news came from the Imperial Palace that Empress Dowager wanted to marry the princess of the Imperial Palace to my son. Furthermore, the Empress Dowager has already issued an imperial decree. What can I do?"

The princess of the palace? " Madame Su's finger knocked on the table and looked at Leng Zongchang." You mean Commandery Princess Yin, the empress dowager's niece, Yin Jingge? "

"Who else could it be other than her?" Leng Zongchang shook his head. "The empress dowager only has one niece. If it was not for her, why would she have personally issued such an imperial decree? It is strange. The empress dowager had always doted on the princess as a treasure and would not let her feel wronged. But this time, how could she not think about it? She actually wanted to marry her to that bastard son of mine. Sigh, in the future, the princess will definitely wash her face with tears day by day. Once the empress dowager takes her anger out on us, our lives will not be easy. "

"That's right." Madame Su also frowned when she heard that. "Why would the empress dowager suddenly issue such an imperial decree?"
