Even Mingyue did not expect this result.
That is, the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion is actually a love-brained person.
He Yu didn't ask Lu Yunshu what he wanted to use him for. As soon as he came in, he stood in front of Lu Yunshu, looking like a protector.
The veins on Mingyue's forehead twitched as he saw this, and he felt that the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion would be cut off in He Yu's lifetime.
Lu Yunshu was also stunned for a moment as he looked at the back of the man in front of him, and then he couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled.
Lu Yunshu said softly: "Sister, it's not all about taking advantage."
He Yu's neck turned red after hearing this, and he added in a muffled voice: "It doesn't matter if it's all just for use. I'm willing to be manipulated by Miss Yunshu, and my mother has also agreed to follow Miss Yunshu's wishes."
At this moment, Mingyue felt that she should not be on the edge of the bed. Perhaps she should be under the bed
Mingyue stood up and said, "Alright, since you two are willing to fight and be beaten, I won't be the bad guy for nothing. Take good care of your injuries, and I'll let Yunjiao and the others come to see you in a few days."
After saying that, she prepared to leave.
Lu Yunshu suddenly grabbed her sleeve, looked up at her and said firmly: "Sister, Yunshu has never forgotten what you said, but after so many years, what sister wants is what Yunshu wants. For women and for future generations, Yunshu is willing."
Mingyue sighed inwardly when she heard this, and she wondered whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to involve these girls in this matter.
Obviously, at the beginning, she just wanted women to have some fairness!
And those fair things are always cultivated by predecessors, but they are all her children who grew up under her watch!
"Relax and take good care of yourself. I'll take care of everything!" Mingyue patted her head gently, with the same gentle tone she used when she brought her out of Hejia Village.
Lu Yunshu's eyes were sore, but he smiled and nodded heavily.
Then Mingyue looked at He Yu again, her tone suddenly became colder: "Please see me off, Mr. He."
He Yu was stunned for a moment, then he immediately stood up straight after remembering Mingyue's identity and said nervously, "Okay, yes, sister."
This silly look successfully made Mingyue unable to keep a cold face.
Lu Yunshu also burst out laughing.
When they reached the gate of the courtyard, Mingyue looked at He Yu and said seriously, "Mr. He, I don't know how much you feel about Yunshu, but I have to talk to you. Yunshu is the seventeenth lady of my Lu family, the apple of my eye. She has fourteen older brothers, two older sisters, and nine younger brothers and sisters. If anyone bullies her, I will forgive him, but her brothers and sisters will not agree.
Also, in my Lu family, men do not take concubines, and women do not share husbands with others. If you can't do this, you'd better give up this idea as soon as possible!"
One has to admit that Mingyue's words were quite impactful to He Yu, an authentic native of the Qiyuan Dynasty.
It’s not that He Yu wants to have three wives and four concubines, but everyone around him is like this, as if it would be shameful to be alone for the rest of their lives.
However, when he recalled the stunning sight of Lu Yunshu kneeling reverently before the gods and Buddhas, the scene of her jumping on the horse's back without hesitation to tame the wild horse, and her stubborn attitude of not shedding tears even after falling off the horse and breaking her leg, He Yu felt his heart soften.
He was very sure that he didn't want any other woman, he only wanted Lu Yunshu.
"Sister, I will treat Yunshu well in the future." He Yu promised.
Now Mingyue got a headache when she heard the word "sister". She twitched her mouth and said, "Time will prove everything. I hope you can do what you say." He Yu was naturally sure that he could do it.
But Mingyue didn't say anything more to him. She just gave him a few more reminders and then went back home.
She still had to talk to Lu Yunqi about this, and Yun Jiao and the others were also waiting for news.

When Mingyue returned to the Lu Mansion, Lu Yunji was the only one at home.
"Yun Jiao said she wanted to see how good the embroidery skills of the embroiderers in the capital were, Yun Jing said she wanted to go to the bookstore to read new novels for inspiration, and Yun Man... I thought I had to leave someone at home, so I didn't go out with them." Yun Ji handed over the teacup in his hand and asked with concern: "Sister, what happened to Yun Shu? Why didn't she come back with us?"
Mingyue took the teacup and said, "Yunshu just fell off the horse and broke his leg. He needs to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a few days to recuperate before coming back. Yunji, you should also go out more often. Just leave the maid at home."
Lu Yunji smiled shyly: "I'm not very familiar with the capital, and I'm not very interested in Yunjiao and the others' preferences, so I thought about waiting for Miss Wang to come to the capital in a few days, and then go out to play with her."
Mingyue thought about it and asked uncertainly, "Is she the county magistrate's daughter?"
Lu Yunji nodded: "Yes, I received a letter from Miss Wang. Magistrate Wang has been transferred to the capital to serve as an official. Miss Wang and Mrs. Wang have also come with him."
Mingyue's eyes lit up slightly, and someone handed her a pillow when she felt sleepy.
The status of women in Lin'an County is so high. Apart from Mingyue and others who fanned the flames behind the scenes, County Magistrate Wang also made an indelible contribution.
Magistrate Wang was a very practical man. As long as the people under his jurisdiction lived well, he would be happy to provide convenience and support regardless of their gender or status.
Now that County Magistrate Wang has come to the capital to serve as an official, that is quite a coincidence. Many things will become much more convenient now.
"Write back to Miss Wang and ask what rank Magistrate Wang is this time? What is his main responsibility?" Mingyue took out a stack of banknotes and continued, "Take these banknotes. When Miss Wang comes in a few days, you and her can go for a stroll in the city."
Lu Yunji did not refuse, he just took the banknote and nodded.
Mingyue couldn't help but look at her again, and began to think about her and other girls' future.
After waiting for a long time, Lu Yunjiao and others returned to the mansion.
After knowing that Yunshu had injured his leg, they all clamored to go see him.
Mingyue persuaded them for a long time before deciding that the three most stable people would go to see Yunshu in a few days.
Mingyue didn't tell them about Yunshu and Heyu. Firstly, the matter hadn't been finalized yet, so it wasn't appropriate to let everyone know. Secondly, the girls were all undecided, and she was afraid that they would learn from Yunshu and "sacrifice themselves for the cause."
However, Mingyue did not hide it from Lu Yunqi. After all, he was Yunshu's biological brother, and he had to deal with the prime minister in the court. This was a very serious matter. If it involved any party disputes, it would be a big problem.
After Lu Yunqi learned about this, he was so furious that he blurted out, "The Prime Minister's Mansion is repaying kindness with enmity."
Well, in the young man’s heart, his sister is naturally perfect and a treasure that no one can match.
After the court session the next day, Lu Yunqi went to the Prime Minister's Residence.
Then when he came back, he told Mingyue with an awkward expression: "Sister, I agree to Yunshu and Heyu's marriage."
