Chapter 1005: Chapter 1009, Knowing the Truth (1st Update)
No matter what the truth is, as the elder Lady Nalan said, we should ask for the Crown Prince’s opinion.
Another thing, what exactly is the purpose of entering the palace this time?
Is it that the Empress wants to see Nalan Jinlian?
Nalan Bo nodded in agreement, "Mother, I will go and seek an audience with the Crown Prince in a while, to ask for his opinion!"
"Hmm, that’s good!"
The three discussed a bit more before Nalan Bo left.
In the room, only the old Marquess and the elder Lady Nalan remained.
"What do you think of this matter?" the old Marquess asked.
"What can I think? Naturally, we should handle it well. Our Marquis Residence is also time to advance to another level!"
The old Marquess nodded but sighed, "That’s what you say, but I still feel a bit uneasy!"
"Why are you uneasy? Have we wronged her since she came to our Marquis Residence? Even before knowing her identity, we treated her with love and care. Is there anything poor about what she eats or wears? Is there anything in her room setup that isn’t exquisite? Old man, don’t overthink it. What we need to do now is to clarify the Crown Prince’s intention and then decide what to do next!"
"Hmm, what you say makes sense!"
The old Marquess had great trust and regard for his wife’s opinion.
The two talked for a while longer, waiting for Nalan Bo to return with the news.
Nalan Bo, after some hesitation, sought an audience with Zhou Yunshen.
Zhou Yunshen smiled, "Let him in then!"
There were some things that needed to be instructed to Nalan Bo to prevent him from mistreating Jinlian.
"Your Highness, I’ve come to see you!"
"Hmm!"
Zhou Yunshen responded lightly.
"Your Highness, I, I..." Nalan Bo hesitated.
Zhou Yunshen looked at him nonchalantly, "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you hesitating!"
"Your Highness, it’s about my daughter, Jinlian, she, she..." Nalan Bo licked his lips, not knowing how to continue for a moment.
"I sent someone to bring her there, so remember, do not mistreat her or wrong her. I painstakingly arranged this identity for her because I don’t want her to blindly marry me. If you wish to become a Duke in the future, carefully consider what I’ve told you today!"
After speaking, Zhou Yunshen waved his hand, "Leave now!"
"Yes!"
Nalan Bo backed out, his entire body trembling slightly.
So excited that he lost his sense of direction.
A Duke, a true figure above all others.
Even the Emperor would have to show him some respect.
Unlike how it is now, where he is nothing wherever he goes.
Thinking of this, Nalan Bo took a deep breath and went to the elder Lady Nalan’s courtyard.
"Mother, Father, we were not wrong!"
"..."
"..."
The old Marquess and the elder Lady Nalan exchanged glances, with the elder Lady Nalan bursting into laughter, "Good, good, she’s truly our family’s girl!"
The old Marquess also laughed aloud.
Whether she is really a Marquis Residence girl or not doesn’t matter, as long as she can bring great benefits to the Marquis Residence, it is excellent!
"Bobo, since the Crown Prince has given instructions, you must not be vague. Although Mingzhu is your biological daughter, you must also remember that our family’s honor and disgrace now rest on Jinlian, so do not let her be saddened!"
Nalan Bo nodded, "Yes, Mother!"
Father and Mother mean well for him, so he naturally must listen.
However, it is indeed Mingzhu who is being wronged.
As if seeing through Nalan Bo’s thoughts, the elder Lady Nalan added, "Don’t worry, since we now know that Mingzhu is your only daughter, I will naturally cherish her even more!"
