Chapter 258 Don’t even think about it
Judging from his expression, he seemed to have heard a lot, otherwise he wouldn't look at her like that.
"Hello, uncle and aunt." An Qingqian was very embarrassed.
Who knew that as soon as Lan Mingyue finished saying this, the Prime Minister and his wife heard it.
Maybe they would think that it was because of what they said that made Lan Mingyue say that.
"No need to be polite, just sit down." The prime minister glared at his daughter, then looked at An Qingqian with a smile.
"Uncle, just now, Mingyue and I were just joking, and I spoke without thinking. Please don't blame me." An Qingqian was the first to explain.
"Haha, no problem." The prime minister also felt a little embarrassed and just waved his hand.
"Dad, how much did you hear just now?" Lan Mingyue glanced at the Prime Minister's expression and spoke cautiously.
"I heard it all." The prime minister snorted to express his dissatisfaction. He was almost sold out by his own daughter today.
"Hehe, Daddy, since you heard everything, what do you think?" Lan Mingyue smiled.
Anyway, she had heard all these words and her father would definitely scold her, so she might as well take this opportunity to speak out about this matter.
As long as I can help An Qingqian, I'll be fine with being scolded.
After these words were spoken, the room fell silent.
Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and no one knew what to say.
The prime minister glared at his daughter again.
The Prime Minister's wife glanced at An Qingqian and said with a smile, "Qianqian, sit down first. You and Mingyue are good friends, and you saved her before. There's no need to be so formal."
"Yes, thank you, aunt."
Several people sat down. Lan Mingyue didn't understand why her father was glaring at her again.
The prime minister looked at his daughter, then glanced at An Qingqian, then spoke slowly.
"Miss An, what Mingyue just said..."
"Uncle, Mingyue was just joking just now, don't take it seriously." An Qingqian said gently.
When Lan Mingyue heard An Qingqian's words, she was about to say something, but An Qingqian grabbed her arm and signaled her not to speak.
"Miss An, the emperor's decree was indeed a little sudden this time, and we can't guess what the emperor is thinking. Perhaps the emperor just acted on a whim, or perhaps someone said something to the emperor.
We don't know what's going on with the Emperor.
However, the virtuous king and his wife are both very good people. They are not evil people, and it is not difficult to get along with them.
Although the prince is practicing in Fuguang Temple, the emperor has issued an imperial decree that he will not be allowed to go to Fuguang Temple again. Husband and wife will develop feelings for each other after spending a long time together, so you don't have to worry too much."
"Yes, thank you uncle for the reminder. I'll take note of it." An Qingqian nodded with a smile.
"It's getting late. My daughter has some things to do at home, so I'll go back first."
An Qingqian stood up from her seat, "Mingyue, you should have a good rest."
"I'll give it to you."
The Prime Minister's wife also stood up and walked to An Qingqian's side.
It was inconvenient for Lan Mingyue, and the prime minister was a man, which made it even more inconvenient, so the prime minister's wife personally escorted An Qingqian out of the prime minister's mansion.
After An Qingqian and the Prime Minister's wife left Lan Mingyue's yard, the Prime Minister turned and stared at his daughter.
"Daddy, hey, what's wrong?" Lan Mingyue smiled guiltily and pretended that she knew nothing.
"Mingyue, I think I really spoiled you. You dare to say anything. Do you think your father has an easy life, so you plan to find something for him to do?"
"No, no, Daddy, I just felt that An Qingqian was a little pitiful, so I felt a little distressed for a moment, that's why I said that."
Lan Mingyue was excited at the time, but now that she has calmed down, she has realized how outrageous what she had just said was.
No matter how virtuous the king is, he is still the emperor's brother.
No matter how much the emperor values the prime minister, he will never allow outsiders to bully his younger brother.
"Fortunately, An Qingqian is not the kind of person with ulterior motives. Otherwise, if what he said today gets out, will our Prime Minister's Mansion ever have a peaceful day?"
The prime minister felt that it was necessary to let his daughter know the pros and cons of this matter.
If she does this often and speaks without carefulness, it will definitely bring her trouble in the future.
"Dad, don't be angry! I said this in front of An Qingqian because I know she's not that kind of person. Look, I've never said this in front of anyone else, right?"
Lan Mingyue saw that the Prime Minister was a little angry, so she hurried forward and hugged the Prime Minister's arm and acted coquettishly.
"Hmph!" The prime minister turned his head away and decided to teach his daughter a lesson today and let her remember this incident.
"Oh, Daddy, seriously, I swear, this will never happen again. There won't be a next time, okay?" Lan Mingyue acted coquettishly again.
Seeing that the Prime Minister's expression had relaxed a little, he continued to speak.
"Daddy, look, isn't An Qingqian very pitiful? She only has one father, who has been at the border all year round and whom she hasn't seen for several years. Previously, the emperor had granted her a marriage to Xue Wanxian.
But you also saw what kind of person Xue Wanxian was? An Qingqian had been bullied in Lin'an Marquis's Mansion, and now it was difficult to get a divorce.
However, before she had stayed in the general's mansion for long, the emperor granted her marriage to Shi Qiuwu. Shi Qiuwu had been practicing in Fuguang Temple for many years. He was a monk with long hair. How could she have a good life if she married him?"
Lan Mingyue spoke confidently. She glanced at the Prime Minister and saw that his expression eased a little. Then he continued speaking.
"Dad, look, if your daughter were to marry someone like this, wouldn't you be unhappy and dissatisfied?
An Qingqian has saved me several times, so shouldn't I just help her?
Besides, what I said just now was not wrong. If An Qingqian is really your goddaughter, no matter what the virtuous king does, he will not treat An Qingqian badly for your sake, right?"
"Okay, okay, you just have so many excuses every day." The Prime Minister waved his hands in annoyance when he saw her bringing up this matter again.
"Dad, are you willing? You see, she is really pitiful. Her family is not around, and there is no one in the capital to protect her."
Lan Mingyue blinked. She thought about it again and again and still felt that the idea she had just proposed was a good one.
An Qingqian is not a bad person. In this case, she can still be sisters with An Qingqian.
Moreover, she is her biological daughter, and An Qingqian is her goddaughter whom she adopted later. In this case, maybe she can get An Qingqian to call her sister, and she can take advantage of her.
Thinking of this, Lan Mingyue wanted the Prime Minister to adopt An Qingqian as his goddaughter even more.
"Mingyue, don't even think about it." The prime minister's words directly broke Lan Mingyue's fantasy.
