Aren't they all going to the mother of the child?
Who will send it to you to fight for custody? Neuropathy!
......
Several days passed in a flash.
Jiang Lu lived a very leisurely life these days. His daily life consisted of eating, sleeping and playing Doudou until Dectel collapsed from being overwhelmed and then went to sleep to rest.
Just changing the sheets, quilts and carpets every day almost makes the maid unable to stand upright from exhaustion.
In addition, I will observe the progress of the spiritual realm strategy every day.
It can only be said that he is worthy of someone who has been in the palace for so many years. Although Addison has been serving as a mascot-like sinecure, he has always been able to go smoothly for so many years and still has strength. Jiang Lu only arranged the direction and results. He carried out everything smoothly without any hesitation.
It had only been a few days, but the mission of using Conchieber's blood to lift everyone's curse was almost complete.
He was about to leave, but on this day, Dectel suddenly received an invitation from Connaught.
Cu Chulainn was getting married and invited Dectel and Jiang Lu as well as his friends and comrades to attend his wedding ceremony.
Jiang Lu informed Ghost Faced Fox and Heavy Cannon of the news.
These days, apart from waiting for Addison to help them complete the task, they were just wandering around, which was very boring. Once the total time should be enough, they decided to join in the fun.
In this way, although Dectel kept complaining that as the future king, how could Cu Chulainn marry the princess in another country, she still led people to select countless treasures and set off to Kannuo in a grand way. special.
Jiang Lu soon met Cu Chulainn again, although he didn't expect much from it.
But what makes Jiang Lu feel strange is that Cu Chulainn's face has a lot of melancholy that he has never seen on his face before.
"What happened?" Jiang Lu asked.
Cu Chulainn sighed: "Maeve is a woman who is good at scheming. I have to admit that I am good at fighting, but when it comes to how to deal with people and how to govern a country, I am far inferior to her in these aspects."
"Is it because of this?" Jiang Lu was puzzled.
That's it? Are you depressed because of something so obvious?
"That's not entirely true." Cu Chulainn sighed: "She convinced me, and I didn't know why but I agreed in a daze. But as soon as I agreed to the marriage, I regretted it."
Jiang Lu spread his hands in gloating: "What's the use of regrets? Now that the whole continent knows that Ulster and Connaught are going to marry, is it possible that you can still regret it?"
"It's impossible to go back on my word, but I thought of a way. Maybe I don't have to go back on my word, but I don't have to get married either."
With that said, Cu Chulainn solemnly said to Jiang Lu:
"And perhaps only you can help me with this matter! Stepfather!"
"Huh?" It was the first time Jiang Lu heard Cu Chulainn calling him this, and he got goosebumps for no reason. He suddenly felt that it was a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken. He had no good intentions and subconsciously wanted to refuse.
But before he could refuse, Cu Chulainn revealed his plan.
When Jiang Lu heard the plan, his eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "Are you crazy?!"
"I don't want to..."
Cu Chulainn gritted his teeth: "But I know that this may be my only chance. I have to ask you to help me once."
His attitude was unprecedentedly humble, so humble that Jiang Lu even suspected that he was possessed by a ghost.
Co-author asking you to marry the princess will cost you your life, right? So resistant? Do you even hesitate to show this attitude?
Jiang Lu hesitated to speak for a long time before finally sighing.
"Everyone in your family is really weird..."
into the night.
According to the agreement, Jiang Lu came to a garden in the palace, which was also in front of the palace of the princess who was to marry Cu Chulainn.
"Damn it... You asked me to do this and told me I'm good at it, damn..."
While complaining, Jiang Lu knocked on the princess's door.
"Baby~guess who I am~"
Chapter 215: Set yourself on fire and reap the consequences!
The door was opened, and Princess Connaught looked at Jiang Lu cautiously and curiously.
As Cu Chulainn's nominal father, Jiang Lu and Dectel attended the dinner together, and of course they had a brief contact.
At the banquet, Jiang Lu had actually left a deep impression on Princess Connaught without knowing it.
She had long heard that Cu Chulainn was a proud warrior in Ulster, so the Princess of Connaught was not at all surprised by the arrogance shown by Cu Chulainn who arrived early.
So when she saw that Cu Chulainn, who had left such a stereotyped impression on her, was actually very respectful in front of Jiang Lu, she would naturally be curious about who Jiang Lu was and what made him so special.
Seeing Jiang Lu coming to see her at this time, Princess Connaught was confused and a little nervous. In her opinion, maybe the other party came to inspect her on behalf of Cu Chulainn's mother, so she was very cautious.
"Good evening, uncle."
Princess Connaught opened the door politely, invited Jiang Lu in, and then asked tentatively:
"So your family is so harmonious. Do you usually call Cu Chulainn your darling?"
Hearing this, Jiang Lu, who had just sat down, trembled: "Don't be disgusting."
"Eh?" Princess Connaught couldn't help but wonder.
Only then did Jiang Lu realize that the other party had probably misunderstood something, thinking that calling her "baby" was an affectionate term from an elder to a younger one.
Thinking of this, a sense of guilt suddenly surged into Jiang Lu's heart.
This... is a bit difficult...
Fortunately, Jiang Lu is a person who is good at convincing himself and reconciling with himself.
He then thought about it and realized that although they were higher in seniority than each other, they were actually about the same age. They were essentially the same age.
Since they are the same age, it is not so sinful.
It’s not like the young father-in-law can’t do it either.
"Hmm..." Jiang Lu changed his words and said, "Yes, that's what I usually call him. Don't mind."
"Of course I won't mind." Princess Connaught smiled implicitly, then sat across from Jiang Lu and asked, "So, is there anything important about your uncle's late night visit?"
"It really matters to me."
"what?"
"No." Although it was awkward not to say something strange, Jiang Lu still patiently said step by step: "I came to see you mainly. You know, Cu Chulainn is a child with a very strange temperament. It is difficult for such a person to meet a soul mate, so I have to hear your opinion of him."
Sure enough, he is here to inspect me...Princess Connaught thought to herself.
"My opinion of him... Let me think..."
The Princess of Connaught replied politely and appropriately:
"In my opinion, he is a very powerful man. He is brave and invincible on the battlefield. This has won the respect of many people in Connacht, including my mother."
"Powerful..." Jiang Lu was speechless, thinking what kind of evaluation is this? You are on a blind date, not conscripting men. What does his strength have to do with your life?
"Yes, powerful." Princess Connaught nodded: "There is no doubt that he is a rare warrior, a hero enough to leave a strong mark in history."
Jiang Lu couldn't stand it anymore and made it clear: "But this has nothing to do with marriage, right? What I want to know is your evaluation of his character. In other words, do you think you will be happy after getting married? "
"this..."
Princess Connaught hesitated to speak. After a long time, she shook her head:
“I don’t know, I don’t know anything about his character because he doesn’t let people get close to him, he’s too proud.
After getting along with him for a few days, I found that he was more interested in Connaught's military and even war horses than he was in me, which made me a little frustrated.
To be honest, I don't know if marrying him will be a happy one, but what I know for sure is that at the moment, I don't have high expectations for this outcome. "
"It's a marriage after all..." Hearing the other party's true thoughts, Jiang Lu sighed: "You are all just victims of power."
"Yes." Princess Connaught said with deep understanding: "But unfortunately, neither he nor I have the ability to change all this."
Indeed, an alliance without a blood-based transaction such as marriage as a guarantee is not reliable.
Although it is not reliable even if it is available, at least it will make people feel more at ease.
"In this way, I can almost foresee your future unhappiness." Jiang Lu said with a wry smile.
"But there is nothing we can do about it. I think this is the most cost-effective deal to exchange my life and his life for the prosperity of Connaught." Princess Connaught seemed to have looked away a long time ago: "In front of the kingdom, Personal gains and losses are not important.”
"It's no problem." Jiang Lu nodded in agreement, and then changed the topic: "But to be honest, your life is gloomy, but his life is not necessarily without glory."
Princess Connaught was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is that he will definitely become the king of Ulster in the future. Naturally, he can marry other people. Even if it is not good, he can have several mistresses, but you will only be able to stay alone in your empty house for the rest of your life." Jiang Lu said calmly.
"..." Princess Connaught's face changed, and an indescribable sadness and helplessness filled her eyes.
She didn't even have time to think about whether this was what her elders should say, but she seemed to have been overwhelmed by this almost foreseeable future.
"But...what can we do?" Princess Connaught sighed.
"Yeah, what can we do?" Jiang Lu repeated.
Princess Connaught propped her chin up with both hands and said weakly, "I don't think you are here to test me at all. You are here to make me disappointed in this marriage."
Jiang Lu blinked: "I wasn't here to inspect you in the first place."
"So you are..."
"I just came to see you. Because you didn't interact at all during the dinner, his mother was very worried and asked me to come and have a look." Jiang Lu replied.
"Aunt is such a gentle person..."
Princess Connaught looked at Jiang Lu with some envy:
"Your marriage to your aunt must be very happy, right?"
"It's not bad." Jiang Lu thought for a while: "Anyway, it will definitely be a hundred times more comfortable than the life you will live in the future."
"Is that so..." Princess Connaught's eyes grew dim.
Perhaps out of reluctance, or perhaps still feeling lucky about her marriage, she tried to make a last ditch effort to figure out why Jiang Lu and Dectel's marriage was so happy.
She was sure that there must be some secret for the two of them to be so harmonious even though they had such a big age gap and had a bigger barrier than she and Cu Chulainn.
