"Of course, I trust Tingxiao." Guan Ziyao said immediately.
Yan Ruyi nodded with satisfaction, thought for a moment, and said, "It's just that I'm still a little uneasy, so I'm going to go to the Fahua Temple with your uncle Lu and Xiaobao this weekend to burn incense and pray for blessings! I wonder if you, Ziyao, have time? If you do, come along too?"
This was to create opportunities for her to spend more time with Xiaobao. At the same time, accompanying the two elders and the little prince to burn incense together was tantamount to a disguised recognition of her identity.
Guan Ziyao and her mother looked at each other and nodded, "Aunt Lu, I have time. I don't have to go to the company on weekends, so I'm free."
"That's good!" Yan Ruyi smiled and talked to Guan Ziyao about family matters for a long time.
Not long after Yan Ruyi left, Guan Rui came back.
"dad!"
"You're back!" Guan's mother walked over and took Guan Rui's coat.
"I heard that your Aunt Lu came here today?" Guan Rui looked at his daughter and asked.
Guan Ziyao nodded, "Yes, he came in the evening and left not long ago."
"What did you say?"
Guan's mother poured a cup of tea for her husband, looking somewhat dissatisfied. "What else can I say? She came here to offer an olive branch! The Lu family is in this situation now, how can she not be anxious! Old Guan, I say... are you sure it's okay for us to stand on Lu Tingxiao's side at this time? I heard that the illegitimate child's shares are more than Lu Tingxiao's!"
"A woman's opinion is that shares are not absolute. Lu Tingxiao's greatest advantage lies in his prestige in the Lu family. Moreover... apart from what we see on the surface, Lu Tingxiao also has many forces under the surface that we cannot see..." Guan Rui pondered.
"Yes, Mom. Besides, Lu Tingxiao is the legitimate eldest son after all. That guy is just an illegitimate child who is not presentable." Guan Ziyao said.
"So you mean that Lu Tingxiao will definitely win?" asked Guan's mother.
Guan Rui glanced at her. "How is it possible? That illegitimate child was able to achieve this within just a few months after returning to China. How could he be an ordinary person? His background is even more terrifying than Lu Tingxiao's, but his foundation is unstable. Given time, he will definitely be a very formidable opponent. It is unknown whether Lu Tingxiao can defeat him!"
When Guan's mother heard this, she became anxious, "Then why did you let Ziyao marry him? What if at that time..."
Guan Ziyao also frowned when he heard this.
Guan Rui said slowly, "When did I let Ziyao get married? Why are you in such a hurry? Let's just wait and see!"
Mother Guan was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then came to her senses and said, "I understand!"
"Then Yan Ruyi invites Ziyao to go to the Fahua Temple to burn incense this weekend. Can we go?" Guan's mother asked again.
"Go, why not? It's no big deal, you can go."
Guan Rui's meaning was very clear. He would keep the Lu family in suspense first and wait and see what happens. After all, they had never promised anything.
Guan Ziyao's eyes flashed, but in the end she said nothing and followed her father's arrangements.
…
The next day, which was the fifth day since Lu Tingxiao and Lu Chongshan had agreed to meet, the situation entered a white-hot stage.
Seeing that Lu Tingxiao was being forced to retreat step by step, the originally stable Taijie Party began to get restless. The illegitimate child looked ruthless and cruel. If the situation did not change now, once he came to power, those who followed Lu Tingxiao would definitely be the target of punishment!
