When Sun Yilin entered the palace, there were some things that he needed to inform the Empress. It was not a wise choice to let his mother bear this responsibility.
"Yilin, you must know that this will have a great impact on your reputation." The Empress frowned.
"If Chenniang bears this responsibility, the impact will be equally great. Chenniang will not be able to get away with it and may even be labeled as unfilial. The result will be worse. The best way is to prove that the child is not Chenniang's." In fact, Sun Yilin did not care about his reputation at all. He could not marry the girl he liked, so he did not have to worry that his reputation would affect her. After knowing the Empress's ambition, her importance to him was completely out of using him. Thus, it was better for him to have less influence among the scholars.
With a person like Jin Qinwang in the dark, it was hard to say who would be the final winner. In fact, Sun Yilin had subconsciously leaned towards Jin Qinwang. It was better not to know some things. Once you know, you will find that Jin Qinwang's ability was much stronger than the other princes. Moreover, from his usual style, it could be seen that he was not a person who was willing to submit to others. Moreover, he had already cut off his own path of retreat. He would not give up that position to anyone. Even if he could not get it legitimately, he was bound to use extreme means. He did not care about his reputation, did not care about the world's evaluation of him, and naturally did not care about what kind of stroke he would leave in the history books.
In this case, in front of people who did not belong to his camp, it was the wisest to reduce his presence. Unfortunately, Sun Yilin would not know that his approach did not have any effect. From the moment he took a fancy to Jingwan, he had already become a thorn in Li Hongyuan's side. No matter how low-key he was, it was meaningless.
"This kind of thing is the most difficult to prove. How do you want to prove it?"
"Find the child's biological father and it will be over." Sun Yilin said indifferently.
The Empress looked at Sun Yilin. Recently, he had changed more and more, especially his temperament. She was not very clear about the reason. "Are you one hundred percent sure that the child is not yours?"
Sun Yilin furrowed his brows. Although the woman from the Shen family claimed that the child was his, he said, "I haven't investigated the exact situation. There's an 80% chance that it's not his. But, the remaining 20%, even if it is his, we must make sure that it isn't." As for what kind of consequences this would have on the Shen family's daughter, it was completely out of his consideration. He had never been a saint. It was true that the culprit who ruined his marriage was his mother, but the Shen family's daughter was the fuse that ignited the fire.
As for his mother's attitude towards Jingwan, even if this matter did not happen, she would most likely make other troubles. Perhaps from the beginning, it was destined that his marriage would not be successful. Sun Yilin refused to think more about it.
In the end, Sun Yilin mocked himself. Actually, he might have been in the wrong in this matter. He had underestimated how much his mother "cared" about Jingwan. If he had been prepared from the beginning, perhaps he would have known his mother's thoughts earlier and had a good talk with her. Things might not have turned out this way.
After calming down, Sun Yilin actually found some suspicious points. For example, how did the Shen family's daughter get involved with his mother? If she really found out that he was pregnant, shouldn't she look for his family members first? Why did she think that it would be better for her to find his mother? Sun Yilin always felt that there was something fishy about it. Although he didn't want to face his mother, he still had to ask about the specifics.
The Empress agreed to Sun Yilin's request. However, her sister-in-law didn't take her words to heart and did something stupid again. It seemed that she had to be given some practical training to learn her lesson.
As a result, Duchess Ding, who held the power of Ding General Manor, was deprived of all her rights and divided by several daughters-in-law and sisters-in-law. This blow was not small for Duchess Ding. In the Inner Residence, without the right to preside over the internal affairs, it meant that she might have to make a living under others. Although her status was still there, it was not so bad. However, from her previous power, she might not be able to order many people around. The loss was too great.
Looking at his mother's irritable state, Sun Yilin was a little glad that her power was taken away after he found her and asked about the matter clearly.
He wanted to delay the engagement, but the Luo family didn't think so. The reason they gave him was very legitimate. If they didn't want his mother to be exposed, it was better to break off the engagement before he found out the matter clearly.
But in this way, Jingwan would really bear a bad reputation of being jealous and intolerant.
Sun Yilin cared about it very much, but Luo Peishan and Madame Luo didn't care, because Jingwan had a way out. It didn't matter if her reputation was a little bad. Moreover, as far as the royal family was concerned, jealousy was nothing. As long as the emperor was willing, he could send as many women as he wanted to his son and even his relatives.
Sun Yilin felt very guilty. He felt that the Luo family sacrificed Jingwan's reputation in order to protect his mother's reputation, which made him more and more ashamed. In fact, he also thought that after he figured out the matter, the Luo family would have no reason to break off the engagement, at least on the surface. The Luo family's attitude made him feel ashamed. He really couldn't force Jingwan to be tied up.
This was really a beautiful misunderstanding.
In fact, it should be known that Duchess Ding trampled on Jingwan's face like this. Would the Luo family think of her by repaying evil with good? How stupid and naive was he to think so? Was Sun Yilin stupid? Couldn't he think of this? Didn't he doubt why the Luo family was in a hurry to break off the engagement at this time? Probably they really hated his mother and were worried that he would not let her go. Apart from this, Sun Yilin couldn't think of any other reason.
He had clearly felt his mother's extremism and stubbornness. It was more realistic to expect her to accept Jingwan as her daughter-in-law.
Sun Yilin opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say anything to save it. "In fact, we can wait until this matter is settled, and then break off the engagement on the grounds of incompatibility. It's not good for the third young lady to break off the engagement now."
"Since we have decided to break off the engagement, it's naturally better to be straightforward. Our Luo family can't let people who have nothing to do stand in front of us." This kind of involvement was really unnecessary. Luo Peishan was really for Sun Yilin's good. Otherwise, he was really afraid that Li Hongyuan would deal with him. When the living King of Hell made a move, he could make a move with a 120% effect.
"I don't mind."
"Don't say such stupid things."
Sun Yilin said this sentence from Luo Peishan for the second time. With the care and persuasion of an elder.
After the discussion, the engagement was quickly broken off. Sun Yilin originally wanted to see Jingwan, but naturally, he didn't see her. However, he met with Sun Yijia. Even though she knew what her fifth brother wanted to know, Sun Yijia still didn't say a word. Not only because it would make him sadder if she told him Jingwan's true attitude, but also because it was really not a wise move to reveal her sister-in-law's matter to an outsider. Sun Yijia simply told him about her situation. She was doing well in the Luo family. Whether it was the elders or Luo Jingbo, their attitude towards her had not changed.
"With the third young lady of the Luo family, I don't have to worry about you. However, I hope that you can be happy in this life, together with fifth brother's part."
"Fifth brother …" Sun Yijia looked at Sun Yilin, who was obviously thinner, and felt very distressed. Was he really going to bury all the good things together because he couldn't marry sister Wan?
"Don't worry about me. I'm fine. If you don't want to go back to Duke Dingguo's Mansion, then try not to go back. "
Because Sun Yilin was dealing with things here, he naturally didn't ask about the other side. Things related to Jingwan were naturally more important than that side, even if it was breaking off the engagement. Because he didn't show up, the conflict between the Shen family and Duke Dingguo's Mansion became fiercer and fiercer. Moreover, because someone secretly added fuel to the fire, almost everyone knew that a daughter of the Shen family was pregnant before marriage.
That's right, it was a daughter of the Shen family, not a specific one. Therefore, the young ladies of the Shen family, especially those who were of marriageable age, were affected. None of them dared to go out, because once they went out, there would be the chance that someone would look at their lower abdomens. Some people even brazenly asked about it.
They were ashamed, annoyed, and angry. They hid at home and didn't dare to go out, especially those who were in the middle of a marriage discussion. The marriage was very likely to fall apart. God knew how many times they hid in their rooms and cried. The culprit was naturally the most unlucky one. She got into trouble one after another, and all kinds of humiliation and curses made her almost collapse. Perhaps because they still needed the bastard in her belly for the time being, the wife of the Right Governor appropriately stopped them. However, she only stopped them from punching and kicking each other. The culprit, Concubine Qin, suffered. The other concubines vented all their anger on her because their daughters were implicated.
Obviously, Prince Rui's faction didn't expect such a one-sided situation that was very unfavorable to the Shen family. After Shen Shuhan figured out the whole thing, he communicated with Prince Rui. The whole faction of Prince Rui worked hard to put the Shen family in the position of the victim. However, once this kind of thing happened, it had a particularly big impact on women. Sometimes, it was obvious that the girls were raped, but they were still called shameless, vulgar, and all kinds of insults. This time, the nature of the matter was a little different. After all, Sun Yilin's reputation was very good in the past, and there was no stain on his reputation. It was reasonable to say that it would be particularly bright if it was suddenly stained. In addition, it was easy to attract other people's attention to him deep in the mountain, and thus weaken the Shen family.
But obviously, the original goal was not achieved.
The memorial accusing Shen Shuhan of not teaching his daughter well was spread like snowflakes on Le Chengdi's imperial desk.
What did this mean? It only meant that the other side was too arrogant. They had fought back and forth countless times, and there were wins and losses between them. But this time, they seemed to have lost a little too badly.
Prince Rui flew into a rage, and Prince Kang was naturally jubilant.
However, there were still some people who felt that there was a problem, and one of them was Sun Yilin. After he dealt with the matter of the engagement, he found out that Prince Kang's faction didn't have such a strong control over the public opinion. There must be a third party behind this matter. Who was it? The Gong Prince? Or … the Jin Prince?
In Sun Yilin's view, the latter was more likely. But, what was his purpose in doing this? In fact, he didn't need to intervene in this matter. Even if he intervened, shouldn't he treat both sides equally, and just make the overall situation more chaotic? This was in line with his interests.
No, only he knew part of the Jin Prince's true situation, other people didn't know. If the situation was too chaotic, beyond the scope of control of either side, it would certainly arouse the suspicions of many old foxes. Only this kind of one-sided situation made Prince Rui's faction believe that Prince Kang's faction was "stirring up trouble". But, why did he "help" himself, and not the Shen family? According to reason, even if it was for the sake of Imperial Consort Su, he should "help" the Shen family.
When Luo Peishan Daren talked about this situation with his old wife, he couldn't help but sigh again.
"Why are you sighing?" Old Madame Luo didn't understand.
"I'm worried that our family's Third Girl will become an enchantress who will bring disaster to the country in the future. That shu daughter of the Luo family stepped on Third Girl's face, and Jin Prince wants to throw the entire Shen family into it. I'm afraid that this matter will only become more and more intense, and if things don't go well, even the married Shen family's daughter will be implicated. Jin Prince's selfish desires are so heavy, in the future, as long as Third Girl has a bit of preference, wouldn't it be possible to make a big deal out of it? "
Old Madame Luo directly gave him a supercilious look, "You still don't know what kind of temperament Wan Wan has. At her age, she has always adhered to her original heart. In the future, would she be narrowed her eyes and lose her sense of propriety? If she really encountered something that shouldn't be done, Wan Wan would naturally advise her a bit. When that Shen family's daughter knelt in front of the Luo family's door and made a big deal out of it, she should have thought that there might be such a consequence. I don't think Jin Prince did anything wrong. "
Luo Daren chose to shut up. He could see clearly that when it came to Third Girl, his own old wife and Jin Prince's thoughts happened to coincide. Alright, this engagement had been dissolved and it would not be announced to the public for the time being. Everyone's attention was on that side, and for the time being, no one would have any ideas about Third Girl. It was proper for him to take advantage of this time to familiarize himself with the Ministry of Personnel.
Old Madame Luo pondered. It was reasonable to say that Duchess Ding Guo Furen was the culprit. Jin Prince chose to make a move against Shen family and not Ding Guo fu, which seemed to be somewhat unreasonable ah.
Li Hongyuan pushed for the previous matter, but he didn't want them to make it public. Shen family was stabbing a knife in the open, but in Ding Guo fu, it was a knife in the dark, and it was specifically aimed at Duchess Ding Guo Furen. What people cared about the most was what they wanted her to lose. The higher one was, the more they wanted you to be as low as mud.
In the past two days, the relatives and friends of Ding Guo fu didn't come to "visit" Duchess Ding Guo Furen. They ridiculed her openly and implicitly, and cursed Sun Yilin. Duchess Ding Guo Furen was so angry that her whole body trembled. But when she showed off her power and prestige, no one paid attention to her. There were even some bold ones who directly resisted.
She was so angry that her heart was attacked several times. In the end, she fell ill and her body collapsed. If she could recuperate well, there might be a day when she got better. However, all kinds of accusations and all kinds of humiliation made her bear too much pressure. Not to mention being calm and peaceful, let alone reflecting, she became more and more paranoid. She refused to take medicine properly, often smashed things, and even wanted Sun Yilin to personally take care of her. Sun Yilin had to enter the palace to do errands and was busy investigating who the child in Shen family's daughter's belly was. He didn't recover so quickly after breaking off the engagement with Jingwan. His mother was still desperately tossing and turning. It could be said that she was mentally and physically exhausted.
Duchess Ding Guo Furen was drinking medicine when she suddenly knocked over the medicine bowl. "You unfilial son, do you also wish that I would die now so that you can marry that vixen of the Luo family?"
After a while, she cried miserably. "Yilin, I will immediately arrange another marriage for you. Can you get married right away?" She was probably really afraid that Sun Yilin would never marry again in his life.
She began to lose her temper when she didn't get a response.
Sun Yilin was silent, then got up and left, ignoring his brothers and sisters in law inside and outside the house. He didn't even bother to look at Sun Yibin's provocation. As for what was behind him — Sun Yilin, I'm telling you, I won't die so easily. Don't even think about marrying that vixen of the Luo family. He also ignored it.
Sun Yilin sometimes wondered how his mother became like this today. In the past, she also had to be tolerant, restrained, dignified and virtuous. Although she was strict, she was also gentle. But now …
The Shen family was badly battered, so naturally, they wouldn't let Sun Yilin go.
When Sun Yilin was ruthless, he could also stab people until they were black and blue. He spoke without any vulgarities, degrading the girl of the Shen family to be worse than a prostitute in a brothel. Moreover, he had asked the doctor of the Luo family about how long the child had been possessed. It had been more than three months, and the other party insisted that it was his. He basically confirmed the time and place of the incident. It was not long before Jingwan came to the capital, and Prince Kang invited her to the Imperial Plantation outside the city.
In fact, it wasn't that difficult to be bad. However, he did drink too much at that time.
Just as he was about to deal with them one by one, someone took the initiative to stand up. It was none other than Prince Kang.
Sun Yilin wasn't sure if it was really him or the Empress asked him to stand up. However, since someone took the blame, Sun Yilin happily threw it away and had no interest in investigating further.
In front of the Shen family, Prince Kang was very straightforward. He drank too much, and in a daze, he went to find his cousin to have a candlelight talk. In the end, he fell asleep and occupied his cousin's room. His cousin moved to another room. Anyway, according to Miss Shen's initial statement, she climbed into the bed herself. "You should have said that earlier. Otherwise, I would have admitted it long ago. Why do I have to pin it on Yilin just because I picked up his jade pendant? You want an explanation, right? Fine, I will ask someone to bring it to Prince Kang's residence later. "
Since Prince Kang had said so, no one could do anything to him. He was a prince, the son of an emperor. He could have a romantic night. So what if she was a minister's daughter? It was already good enough that he didn't despise her for being a loose woman and was willing to accept her into his residence.
Therefore, this matter could only be left unsettled.
It was said that this kind of thing was the most difficult to explain. It was just empty words. You could insist on it, but the other party could also insist on denying it. In the end, on the surface, the Shen family probably suffered the biggest loss. Not only did they not get any benefits from Duke Dingguo's residence, but their reputation was also ruined. Not only were the married ladies affected by their in-laws, but the most miserable ones were the girls of marriageable age. Those who were engaged, those who were rejected, those who were in discussions, those who were lost, those who were waiting to be married … In short, they would not have a good marriage. Probably only those who were a few years old were not affected too much.
