However, Lin Yuelan’s words didn’t convince Yuwen Longyan.
He said,” Girl, although Madam Yuan is old and sick, don’t we have you, the little divine doctor? It should be a simple matter for you to heal her body once you make a move. So, how are you going to guarantee that that man won’t use Madam Yuan to search for all kinds of wealth and mineral resources? Even though you need to use some professional tools to find these things, have you forgotten that before Madam Yuan, there were also people who did not use any tools but relied solely on their experience and professional knowledge to find gold, silver, iron, and other mines? Otherwise, there wouldn’t be gold, silver, copper, and iron in circulation today.”
Lin Yuelan smiled and said,” Old Emperor, what you said is something that we have considered before. However, there’s one thing you might not know. Uncle Lu, oh, the man beside Mother, truly loves Mother. He wished he could hold mother in the palm of his hand and dote on her. Therefore, it is impossible for him to let mother do some tiring work, let alone run all over the world.”
Yuwen Longyan said seriously,” Girl, maybe you don’t know. For a man, ambition could overcome everything. What if the Uncle Lu you mentioned was fake? Or was he waiting for an opportunity because Shutong’s body did not allow it? You have to know that the people of the Southern Border have always wanted to find a chance to walk out and dominate the world.”
Lin Yuelan’s expression slowly darkened when she heard the Emperor’s words. Then, she said very seriously,” Old Emperor, what do you think we should do?”
She couldn’t blame Yuwen Longyan for having all kinds of suspicions and concerns. After all, he was the emperor.
He had to consider all the possible consequences.
This was what a wise leader should do.
Yuwen Longyan’s eyes were sharp. He pondered for a moment and said,” Girl, Minister Jiang, what if I ask Madam Yuan to stay in Longyan Kingdom?”
He had wanted to say that she would stay in the capital and would be monitored.
As long as it was within his control, it would be fine.
However, he considered that Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan often lived in the remote Lin Family Village.
Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
This wasn’t restricting Yuan Shutong, and it was obviously restricting Lu Ziyou.
It seemed that he had two choices. He could either live in Longyan Kingdom for a long time and be monitored at all times.
Otherwise, he could give up on Yuan Shutong and return to the Southern Border. But Yuan Shutong had to stay.
With Yuan Shutong’s value, this was the first time the Emperor had shown his unquestionable decision as a sovereign in front of Lin Yuelan.
Yuwen Longyan said sharply,” Girl, this is not negotiable! If we agree to this, then Madam Yuan doesn’t need to change her name and use another identity to reunite her son.”
Lin Yuelan was a little confused. She asked,” Old Emperor, what do you mean?”
Yuwen Longyan said,” No matter how Madam Yuan left twenty-eight years ago and how she appeared now, her marriage with Jiang Yunfeng has always existed. She is Jiang Yunfeng’s first wife. No one can change this except me!”
Lin Yuelan’s eyes lit up when she heard Yuwen Longyan’s hint. She asked with a smile,” Old Emperor, what do you mean?”
“I can immediately issue a decree to allow Madam Yuan to divorce Jiang Yunfeng as Jiang Yunfeng’s first wife. As long as they get a divorce, then she doesn’t have to change her identity at all to continue the fate of mother and son with you. At the same time, she can also continue her former relationship with that Uncle Lu you speak of.” the Emperor said.
Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan looked at each other and nodded.
This was indeed feasible.
As for Yuan Shutong, she should not marry anyone else before they divorced. As long as they handled this properly, she could even become a woman who was pitied by the public.
The only problem now was Lu Ziyou.
Lu Ziyou had a valuable identity in the Southern Border, but they didn’t know how far he could go for Yuan Shutong.
Give up on Yuan Shutong? Or should he give up his noble identity on the Southern Border?
Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan nodded in tacit understanding.
Lin Yuelan said,” Old Emperor, we have to go back and ask about this!”
Yuwen Longyan did not make things difficult for them. He nodded and agreed,” Okay!”
Hearing Lin Yuelan’s request, Lu Ziyou smiled without thinking,” Do I still need to choose? It’s impossible for me to give up Tong ‘er.” In other words, he was willing to give up his identity and position in the Southern Border.
Li Ziyou’s decision was unexpected, but it was also within their expectations.
They did not expect him to be so straightforward.
Of course, giving up his identity and status was not just for show.
Lu Ziyou immediately took off a jade pendant and handed it to Lin Yuelan.” Girl, this jade pendant represents my status as the head of the Lu Clan, a prestigious clan in the Southern Border. Take it!”
Lin Yuelan, who took the jade pendant, was stunned. Then, she said,” Uncle Lu, don’t you want to reconsider?”
After all, it was not up to him to give up the position of the clan leader of a noble clan just like that. What about the people in his clan?
Lu Ziyou waved his hand and said,” No need. Before I came to the capital of Longyan Kingdom to look for the divine doctor, I had already made all the necessary arrangements. Ten years ago, I adopted a child from the clan to be my successor. Before I came here, I told the clansmen that if I didn’t return in a year, the child would directly inherit my position. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about this!”
In fact, if Yuan Shutong died, he would also die with her.
That was why the clan was given a year.
In short, he had already arranged everything.
Hearing his words, Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan had nothing else to say.
