Chapter 494 You can’t choose King Han, right?
Shen Ruolan glared at him and said, "I have to ask them what they want."
After saying that, she walked straight out the door.
Jiang Dichen had no choice but to follow.
In the Liu Mansion, after Liu Meizhao woke up, she hugged her mother and cried, "Mom, I don't want to marry the Ninth Prince, I don't want to..."
Madam Liu hugged her daughter and said with a distressed look on her face: "Zhao Zhao, mother is reluctant to let you marry the Ninth Prince, but the emperor's order is hard to disobey, mother has no choice!"
Marrying her as a grown girl to a teenage boy, one can easily imagine what kind of life her daughter will lead in the future.
"Mother, please go and ask father to go to the palace to beg the Emperor. Even if it means letting me be Prince Han's concubine, I don't want to marry the Ninth Prince." Liu Meizhao pleaded to her mother in tears.
Madam Liu said with a sad face: "Zhao Zhao, if it was possible to ask, your father would have asked for you a long time ago."
After hearing what her mother said, Liu Meizhao said with despair on her face, "Does it mean that my only choice is to marry a child?"
Madam Liu comforted her daughter, "Zhao Zhao, maybe the Ninth Prince isn't that bad after all. Don't be sad, okay?"
Liu Meizhao looked at her mother and said, "Mom, I don't know what kind of person the Ninth Prince is, but when he grows up, I will become an old maid. When that time comes, what should I do?"
Since ancient times, men have been fickle and easily bored with the old and easily attracted to the new. At her best age, she could not get close to her husband. By the time her husband came of age, she was already old and ugly, and her husband would not even look at her. All she could do was slowly wait for death in that little world of hers.
Madam Liu comforted her daughter and said, "Zhao Zhao, you should take a rest first. I will go find your father and think of a solution."
Liu Meizhao nodded to his mother and said, "Mom, go ahead."
Madam Liu helped her daughter lie down, looked at her with a heartbroken sigh, then turned and left.
After Madam Liu left, Liu Meizhao suddenly got up from the bed and told the maid beside her: "Chan'er, go to the kitchen and make me a bowl of lotus seed soup. I want to drink it now."
Chan Er heard what her mistress said. She hesitated for a moment and replied, "Yes, Miss."
After Liu Meizhao waited for the maid to leave, she quickly stood up and closed the door tightly. Then she took a pair of scissors and tore the bed sheet into several pieces, hanging them on the beams. She looked out the door with tears in her eyes and said, "Dad, Mom, I am an unfilial daughter. I have to go first."
After she finished speaking, she put her head on the cloth with a determined look, kicked the bench away with her feet, and hanged herself.
At this time, Jiang Dichen brought Shen Ruolan to the Shangshu Mansion. She bowed to Madam Liu and said, "Madam Liu, I'm sorry for disturbing you so suddenly. Please forgive me for any inconvenience!"
Madam Liu looked at the two culprits who harmed her daughter. She was very unhappy in her heart, but she did not show it on her face. She first bowed to Jiang Dichen, and then asked Shen Ruolan: "Doctor Shen, I wonder why you suddenly came to my house?"
Shen Ruolan said, "I want to see Miss Liu. Madam Liu, please help me."
Madam Liu listened to Shen Ruolan's words. She looked at her warily and asked, "Doctor Shen, what do you want to see my daughter about?"
After saying this, she thought of her daughter's current condition, so she refused Shen Ruolan and said, "I'm sorry, my daughter is not convenient to see guests now."
As soon as Madam Liu finished speaking, she heard a maid come over to report: "Madam, it's bad, the eldest lady committed suicide."
When Mrs. Liu heard that her daughter had committed suicide, she was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground.
Shen Ruolan looked at the maid and said, "Take me to see your young lady."
The little maid didn't know who Shen Ruolan was. After hearing what she said, she nodded and said, "Miss, please follow me."
After the little maid finished speaking, she hurriedly led the way towards Liu Meizhao's room.
Madam Liu wanted to call Shen Ruolan, but knowing that she knew medical skills, she held back. She quickly got up and walked towards her daughter's room.
When Shen Ruolan arrived at Liu Meizhao's room, she had already been rescued by the servants, but she was unconscious.
Shen Ruolan quickly stepped forward and said, "Let me see."
When the maids heard someone coming, they all made way for them.
Shen Ruolan came to Liu Meizhao's side and quickly checked her breath. Seeing that she was still breathing, she felt relieved.
She took out a silver needle and pricked it into her philtrum, and Liu Meizhao woke up instantly.
When Liu Meizhao woke up and saw that she was not dead, she quickly struggled to get up and said, "Go away, don't save me, let me die..."
Shen Ruolan looked at the girl who was fine an hour ago, and now suddenly became desperate and miserable. She felt very sorry. If it weren't for her, she should still be fine now.
Shen Ruolan sighed in her heart and said comfortingly: "Ms. Liu, calm down first. I have something to tell you."
"Zhao Zhao, Zhao Zhao, what happened to you?" Mrs. Liu ran in and shouted with a panicked look on her face.
When Liu Meizhao saw her mother, she burst into tears and said to her, "Mom, I don't want to live anymore."
Madam Liu ran to her daughter, hugged her tightly and cried, "Zhao Zhao, please don't be depressed. If something happens to you, what will mother and father do?"
"Wuwuwu..." Liu Meizhao and her daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly, making Shen Ruolan, who was standing beside them, couldn't help but have tears in her eyes.
After the two of them calmed down, Shen Ruolan spoke at the right time: "Madam Liu, Miss Liu, I came here today to discuss Miss Liu's marriage with you."
Madam Liu wiped her tears after hearing what Shen Ruolan said, "Doctor Shen, you have seen that my Zhao Zhao has been forced to the point where he has no way out. What else is there to discuss now?"
Shen Ruolan thought for a moment and said, "There are two choices now. One is for Miss Liu to accept the King Han's proposal to break off the engagement. The other is to choose another husband that Miss Liu likes."
After hearing what Shen Ruolan said, Madam Liu raised her head and asked, "Doctor Shen, is there really still room for choice for my Zhaozhao's marriage?"
"Yes, but there are not many to choose from." Shen Ruolan said.
She had just discussed it with Jiang Dichen, and there were only two best solutions at the moment. One was that he went directly to the Liu Mansion to cancel the engagement, but this would be bad for Liu Meizhao's reputation and would affect her choice of husband in the future.
The second option is to let her directly choose someone she likes, and Jiang Dichen will help her to get them married.
Of course, you can also help her find a partner and let her marry someone far away.
However, the Liu family probably would not agree, because Shangshu Liu did not take a concubine because he only had one son and one daughter, and his offspring was very few, and he was reluctant to let his daughter marry far away.
After hearing what Shen Ruolan said, Liu Meizhao looked up at her and asked, "How do you choose?"
Shen Ruolan stared into her eyes and said, "Choose to be rejected or choose another husband, which one do you want?"
"Choose another husband?" Liu Meizhao gave a bitter smile and said to Shen Ruolan, "You can't choose Prince Han, right?"
