"This is exactly what I want to persuade you, Lin Fang, why bother!" Zhou Shizhi said lightly, "I don't want to be your enemy! Xiaoshu has been with me all these years, and you two have been inseparable since childhood. It's just children playing around without understanding, it's not the same!"
"You—" Lin Da was furious, and was about to retort when he saw Miao Cuilan coming in, the two of them closed their mouths in a tacit understanding, with smiles all over their faces.
"The food is ready! Come on, let's go and eat it! Hehe, they are all home-cooked dishes. Don't dislike them. You have the right to change your taste!"
The two couldn't do without some compliments, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious, and they didn't see the tension just now.
During the meal, Lin Anxin had a lot of things to do. Seeing Zhou Shizhi's familiarity with the Lu family, he felt more and more uncomfortable. The heavy feeling became heavier and heavier in his heart. It was so heavy that he couldn't breathe. Miao Cuilan asked a few questions after she didn't eat anything. He hurriedly prevaricated, feeling a little comforted in his heart, at least the Lu family didn't hate him, did they
Leaving Lu's mansion, Lin Fang became more and more uneasy as he thought about it, and halfway through, he ordered the coachman to turn his horse around and go to the fourth prince's mansion.
"I don't want to pretend anymore, not to mention that I can't fool Zhou Shizhi at all, I am also very uncomfortable! I want to invite someone to come to propose marriage." Lin Fang said bluntly.
Based on his relationship with the Lu family, I believe the Lu family will definitely consider it carefully.
"Okay." Unexpectedly, instead of objecting, the fourth prince nodded happily and said, "Hurry up! It's inconvenient for me to come forward about this matter, but you can reveal something to them. My king's face, no matter It depends on how much each family has."
Lin Fang was a little taken aback by his promise, and stared at him in a daze, unable to react for a while.
The fourth prince laughed, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "What? I'm so happy!"
Lin Dafang was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed his hands and bowed to salute: "Thank you, Fourth Prince, for your success!"
"Hehe, you're welcome, Ah Fang! I hope that the second girl of the Lu family can understand your infatuation! This king also hopes that you can get what you want and have a beautiful marriage!"
"If the grassroots people get their wishes fulfilled, they will never forget the lord's kindness of helping each other!" Lin Fang was beaming with joy.
The fourth prince nodded with a "huh" and said lightly: "Since it has been decided, we must act quickly on this matter! Now the second girl of the Lu family is very popular in the capital, with Marquis Changping on one side and Lu Lu on the other. Future generations, if you start late, it will be hard to tell, if it is not complete, there is someone else who is tempted."
Lin Xin was stunned, his face changed slightly, he nodded and forced a smile: "I understand..."
It turned out that this was the reason why the fourth prince suddenly changed his mind!
Lin Fang couldn't help but smiled wryly. He originally thought that the fourth prince was helping him sincerely, so he was very grateful.
It turned out not to be! He also has his purpose.
The Lin family is his own, and now that Xiao Shu has become a sweet mom, he naturally hopes that he can marry her as soon as possible, which can be regarded as bringing the two Lu families together.
Lin Anxin suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
That fiery, eager heart also became hesitant: I knew Xiao Shu not in a day or two, but now that Uncle Lu had just recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors to worship the official position, he couldn't wait to come to propose marriage, even though he didn't have any other thoughts , Has it also become some kind of suspicion
He really likes Lu Xiaoshu, and he doesn't want this love to be mixed with other things...
Lin Fang couldn't help but get tangled up about whether to mention marriage or not, but he couldn't take this step.
He couldn't pass the test in his heart, secretly sighed and laughed at himself, and decided to wait until after the New Year.
Let's talk about the Li residence, that day, a few days after Lu Yiqing left the East Palace, Mrs. Li received a hint from the Crown Princess' secret decree.
Mrs. Li was taken aback, and instinctively felt a little disgusted. Although the Crown Princess has a high status and overwhelms others, but if she stretches her hand too far to take care of her own housework, she will naturally not be likable.
But it's fine if it's anything else, but Lu Yiqing is still the savior of the Crown Princess, it's understandable for the Crown Princess to repay her kindness, no one can stop her!
Mrs. Li didn't dare to decide on such a big matter by herself, so she reported to Mrs. Li in private.
Mrs. Li was not surprised, she was silent for a moment and sighed: "What do you mean?"
Mrs. Li's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, knowing that Mrs. Li really annoyed Liu Yan about what happened last time. Then he forced a smile and said, "How dare the daughter-in-law decide on such a big matter? Naturally, I listened to the old lady!"
Mrs. Li smiled slightly and said, "Listen to me? Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to explain to your in-laws?"
Mrs. Li's expression froze: that's not what she was worried about!
Mrs. Li sneered: "There is nothing the Liu family can do if they want to blame it. Who told the Liu family not to have a princess! We can't disobey the princess' will! Besides, since Qing'er is the princess' savior, this The status is too low, isn’t it slapping the Crown Princess in the face? It is said that there is no need for the Crown Princess to remind us to do this, but now that the Crown Princess has spoken, how dare we not listen? "
Mrs. Li slowly lowered her head and remained silent.
Mrs. Li didn't go out much these years, so she didn't know many things. There was a lot of rumors about Lu Yiqing's stay at her mother's house outside. Mrs. Li didn't believe it, but Mrs. Li believed it quite a bit.
Therefore, there was some disgust and dislike towards Lu Yiqing. Hearing Mrs. Li say that, she suddenly felt embarrassed.
Mrs. Li said lightly again: "That's fine, let your daughter-in-law open her eyes and kill her vigor. Otherwise, with her temperament, will she be able to sit in the position of the head of the Li family in the future? Our family The reputation must be lost in her hands! What's more, this matter was brought up by the princess, but the Lu family didn't respond at all. How to control this in the future is not a matter of your words? What are you afraid of!"
Mrs. Li suddenly realized that, since this is the case, treat Lu Yiqing as a sharpening stone to sharpen Liu Yan's spirit! That's not bad.
"My daughter-in-law understands! My daughter-in-law will make arrangements now." Mrs. Li replied with her head bowed.
Mrs. Li nodded.
Mrs. Li was afraid that Liu Yan would make a fuss again regardless, so she specially called her to the prophet meeting before announcing it.
Liu Yan's reaction was extremely violent, and if he went any further, he would have fought to the death. Nanny Qi next to her also reacted fiercely and couldn't help interrupting, which made Mrs. Li very unhappy.
Mrs. Li originally wanted to talk to her well, and comforted her for a while, but she lost her mind when she saw this, she immediately scolded her with a sullen face, and then slapped Nanny Qi, who was neither big nor young Fan.
Liu Yan saw that Grandma Qi was being punished, and in her opinion, it was clearly for her own sake, and she felt even more angry and unbearable, and the trouble became more severe. It forced Mrs. Li to speak harshly, so she had to stop, but it was obvious that there was a lot of resentment in her heart.
Mrs. Li looked at her coldly, and sneered in her heart, thinking that she is an old lady after all, wise! How can this kind of xinxing get things done? If she can't pass this level by herself, and she tosses herself down, she should vacate the position of the young lady of the Li family as soon as possible!
Contrary to Liu Yan, Lu Yiqing was overjoyed.
She had finally waited until this day, and she could finally feel proud!
Lu Yiqing, who has moved into a new big courtyard and a big house, and has added servants to serve her, has since become more convinced that as long as she works hard, even without the help of her parents, she can still get what she wants!
Thinking of Lu Mansion's attitude towards her, she couldn't help but secretly hated her, and her "wait and see" feeling became even stronger.
Liu Yan was like eating explosive carbon, she exploded whenever she saw anyone, but Zhang Nanny's persuasive persuasion was useless.
She couldn't do anything to Lu Yiqing who was now smiling and calling herself "sister", so she took all her anger on Xiu He.
But for some reason, Li Guanghao really put his heart into Xiu He because of the accidental accident and collision. When he saw the woman he loves being tortured by his wife, he was furious, and he had a big fight with her, and reprimanded him face to face. She is "jealous of a wife and can't tolerate others", and she put down harsh words not to allow her to embarrass Xiuhe, otherwise she will be made to look good!
Where is Liu Yan willing to follow? Dazzled by hatred, he deliberately found fault while Li Guanghao was not at the house, trying to kill Xiuhe!
If Lu Yiqing hadn't gotten the news and rushed to rescue him in time, Xiu He would have been killed by the stick!
When Li Guanghao came back, he lost his temper, smashed Liu Yan's house to pieces, and forced all her servants to kneel in the yard, including Nanny Qi and Nanny Zhang.
The two wives who personally held the boards and sticks to embroider the lotus were immediately dragged out by Li Guanghao who lost his temper.
The incident was so big that even Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li were alarmed.
Mrs. Li was so angry that she taught her son and daughter-in-law a lesson, and both of them were punished and grounded. Originally, he wanted to get rid of the culprit, Xiu He, but Xiu He was not the son of Li's family, nor was he a bought girl, but Lu Yiqing's dowry, so that's all.
Because of this matter, Mrs. Li was also in a panic, and she was really uncomfortable to rest and recuperate for a few days.
So everyone in the whole house sighed.
Lu Yiqing was delighted to see them making a scene, and she became more and more cautious in her words and deeds. In the eyes of Mrs. Li, she had ulterior motives, but Mrs. Li was very relieved. Seeing this, the servants in the mansion also lamented that Mrs. Lu was more well-behaved, virtuous and courteous, and almost compared Liu Yan to the mud all at once.
Liu Yan was furious, and quietly assigned a little girl to rush back to her mother's house to add fuel to the complaint.
Mrs. Liu was very angry when she heard that, and brought her daughter-in-law and housekeeper to the door aggressively to ask the teacher.
Mrs. Li realized what her daughter-in-law had done when she saw the angry and unkind mother-in-law. This anger was even more serious, and she wished she could call Liu Yan over to slap her face a few times.
She kept her composure, and ordered someone to pass on Nanny Qi and Nanny Zhang, and ordered the nanny in charge to tell the whole story of what Liu Yan had done, so that Madam Liu was ashamed to the point of embarrassment! He secretly blamed his daughter for losing her rules and leaving too many excuses, which made her lose face.
