It was only a moment before Lu Wan opened the door himself. Seeing that there was not only Lu Sanlang but also Zhang Shou in front of him, his already sullen face suddenly darkened. He was about to blame Lu Sanlang for bringing outsiders in without informing them, but Lu Sanlang said first: "Dad, I saw the second prince bullying a woman in public on Chongwenmen Inner Street tonight!"
Lu Wan was already extremely angry, but when he heard this, his face suddenly changed, and a small part of his anger instantly turned into suspicion. At this time, Zhang Shou said at the right time: "Does Minister Lu want to discuss the response in the courtyard?"
Respond? Could it be that Lu Zhu would actually be like those fools and confront the Second Prince in the street
Unable to believe that his youngest son, who seemed stupid before but was now so smart, could be so unprepared, Lu Wan regained his composure in an instant and nodded stiffly, saying, "My wife is ill in bed. Dr. Zhang, please come to my study with my son."
But just as he finished speaking, Zhen's voice came from the room: "I'm not dead yet! Since Dr. Zhang is Sanlang's teacher, he is almost like a member of my family. Is there anything you can't say in front of me? Sanlang, bring Dr. Zhang in. If your father doesn't want to listen, it's the same if you and Dr. Zhang tell me!"
His wife, who had always been gentle and virtuous, suddenly became as angry as if she had eaten gunpowder. Although Lu Wan was shocked and angry, he could not behave too badly in front of Zhang Shou, an outsider, and he could not continue to argue with Zhen. Therefore, he could only watch Lu Sanlang agreeing with a smile on his face, and then invited Zhang Shou into the house with an attitude that was more attentive than what he showed to himself as his father.
He could only snort coldly and make way, then angrily closed the door. Although the slutty Zhen had already lowered the two curtains, he was naturally upset that Zhang Shou was allowed to enter the room like this. But when Lu Sanlang opened his mouth to say the next words, his frustration immediately turned into horror.
"Dad, Mom, I went to the bookstore to buy some newly printed books by Master Ge tonight, but when I came out, I ran into the Second Prince riding his horse openly on the street. If he had just rushed away with his men, that would have been fine, but he should never have humiliated the daughter of Minister Liu of the Ministry of Works who was there to order jewelry in front of me! I hate people who bully women the most!"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the nagging Zhen Shi immediately lit up. She knew this youngest son the best, unlike her husband Lu Wan. The hidden meaning of Lu Sanlang's words was obvious. He was probably attracted to the girl... Otherwise, why would he drag Zhang Shou, the teacher, along? But thinking that offending the second prince was indeed a problem, she quickly asked, "Did you have a conflict with the second prince?"
"As a man, I certainly can't just sit there and watch someone bully a girl, so I stood up and righteously rebuked him!" Lu Sanlang passionately recounted the exchange, and then said angrily, "I was right, but the second prince was so angry that he slandered me and Miss Liu as a pair of bastards!"
This time, Zhen finally forgot about the Second Prince's status as a nobleman. She pounded the bed and said angrily, "This is sheer nonsense. The Lu family and Minister Liu's family have never had any friendship before!"
