When Chu Ningzhu came out of the palace, she seemed to have solved a big problem, and she was extremely relaxed.
"I don't want to go back to the Duke's mansion." Chu Ningzhu said, "I want to go find Sister Mu."
"This matter will soon be reported back to the Duke's Mansion. I don't know why the Duke is angry yet. If you don't return to the Duke's Mansion at this time, won't he be even more angry?" Mu Jin said.
"You're going to be angry anyway, so it's better to hide away." Chu Ningzhu said, "Let's go, I want to tell Sister Mu the good news."
Mu Jin looked at Chu Ningzhu's cheerful figure and muttered: "I think... I want to tell Mr. Lu Xuan!"
Mu Siyu was still busy in the shop. When she heard that Chu Ningzhu was coming, she put away the remaining design drawings and said to Kite: "Everyone just came to the capital, are there any difficulties?"
Kite replied: "Everyone's food, food and accommodation are provided by Master, so there is no problem. The signboard of our dream home is also very loud, business is booming, and everyone is very motivated."
Mu Siyu asked some more details, and Kite answered them one by one.
When Chu Ningzhu came in, Kite left the room.
"Sister Mu." Chu Ningzhu ran over and hugged her arm. "Let me tell you something..."
She told her about going to the palace to seek help from her aunt to break off the engagement.
"Success?"
"Um."
Chu Ningzhu laughed, her eyes full of joy.
"If the imperial edict has not been issued for a day, the matter will not be considered fruitful." Mu Siyu said, "However, since that person has already verbally agreed, Jun Wuxi, I think we are inseparable. Is there anything else going on today?
If not, come home with me and I'll cook you some dishes to celebrate."
"No, I'm fine." Chu Ningzhu said happily.
Mu Siyu left the store affairs to Kite, and she took Chu Ningzhu home.
Lu Yi asked his servant to come back with a message. He wanted to eat outside again today, so there was no need to wait for him.
Mu Siyu found someone to buy a lot of crabs and lobsters, and took them to have a seafood feast.
"It's so spicy." Chu Ningzhu exhaled as she peeled off the lobster's shell, "But even though it's so spicy, it has the ability to make people unable to stop eating it. It's so fragrant."
"Eat less, be careful of acne on your face tomorrow." Mu Siyu reminded.
"Not afraid." Chu Ningzhu said with a look of enjoyment.
The housekeeper walked in and said to Mu Siyu: "Just now, my wife ordered someone to deliver lobsters to the second master, and there was a message there that the second master was not at the house."
"All these men have social activities." Mu Siyu complained, "Ignore him, give him the food, he can eat what he wants when he comes back, and if he doesn't want to eat, give it to the servants."
Chu Ningzhu's eyes were filled with disappointment.
I thought I could see Lu Xuan!
Miao family. Mrs. Miao was playing with the newly bought bracelet when her confidant, grandma, walked in and said, 'The second master of the Lu family is celebrating the young master's birthday.'
"Second Master of the Lu family?" Mrs. Miao's eyes were full of calculations.
She looked at the little girl opposite and said, "Daughter, do you know the Lu family?"
"Didn't you say it some time ago?" Miss Miao Er said impatiently, "Why does mother care so much about what good a sixth-grade official is?"
"You silly girl, although Lu Xuan is only a sixth-rank official, his brother is a fifth-rank official! This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the Lu family is very rich and is the richest man in Hubei City!" Mrs. Miao said
, "Their family just gives out some money, which is enough for our family to enjoy spicy food. You can easily buy ten bracelets like this one a day."
If she hadn't found out that the Lu family was rich, why would she bother to get involved? She couldn't even look down on the Lu family brothers based on their official positions!
Miss Miao Er was tempted.
Although there are two officials in the Miao family, they are all petty officials. The most important thing is that the house the Miao family lives in is not big. It looks glamorous in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is actually an empty shell.
It was Miao Minglei's birthday and she invited colleagues with whom she usually got along well.
These people all have similar official positions, so there is no need to compare when they get along. They used to be harmonious, but now that Lu Xuan's 'unexpected' happened, the atmosphere has become different.
"Brother Lu is also a blessing in disguise. If he hadn't been bitten by Concubine Li's dog, he wouldn't have the official position he has now. Come on, let's congratulate Brother Lu." Someone said sourly.
Lu Xuan said calmly: "Do you want such a blessing?"
"Yes, why not? As long as I can be promoted, let alone being bitten by a dog, even if I am bitten by a wolf, I will still be happy." The man said, "But Brother Lu, the place you bitten...is not a problem?
Don't make any big mistakes, hahahaha..."
Lu Xuan pushed his arm away from his shoulder.
"Brother Wang is so curious, I can arrange the exact same scene for you, so that you will know if there is any big mistake."
"Brother Lu can't be so stingy, right? It's just a joke."
"Excuse me." Lu Xuan stood up.
Miao Minglei saw this and followed Lu Xuan.
"Brother Lu, Brother Lu, aren't you angry anymore?" Miao Minglei said, "Brother Wang always keeps his mouth shut. In fact, there is no malice. You don't have to take it to heart."
"I'm not angry." Lu Xuan said calmly, "I just drank too much and wanted to get some air to sober myself up."
The two were talking there, and suddenly one person hugged Lu Xuan and put his arm around Lu Xuan's shoulders.
"Brother Lu, let's continue drinking..."
It was the man named Wang just now.
Lu Xuan frowned and was about to speak when suddenly the man named Wang made a gesture of vomiting towards him.
Lu Xuan retreated in time, but the man vomited a lot of things and splashed out some disgusting liquid.
"Come here, help Mr. Wang to the guest room." Seeing this, Miao Minglei arranged for two servants to take Mr. Wang away.
He turned back to look at Lu Xuan: "Your clothes are stained. The smell... is really strong."
He slapped his nose, looking guilty.
"Let's do this. Your body shape is about the same as mine. If I have any clothes that I don't have on, you can change them first."
"Okay." Lu Xuan frowned.
Miao Minglei took him to the guest room and ordered his servants to bring him new clothes that he had not worn. Originally, he was guarding outside, but the servant said that the man named Wang was vomiting badly, so he had to go there to take care of him first.
"Sir." Gu Yidao opened the door and came in.
Lu Xuan took off his robe and said to Gu Yidao, "Is the carriage ready?"
"Ready."
"Then let's go!"
Lu Xuan glanced at the burning incense burner.
This method is really not enough.
Lu Xuan's eyes were filled with regret as he thought about how Miao Minglei helped him when he first joined the company.
After all, we are not the same people.
He picked up his pen and ink and wrote a few words: "Brother Miao, I suddenly feel unwell. Please take the first step and say goodbye."
Miao Minglei drank a lot and was dizzy, but for the sake of his biological sister, he had exhausted all his abilities and had no choice but to admit it no matter how tired he was.
Originally, he didn't want to invite other colleagues, but it would be too obvious. In order not to make Lu Xuan suspicious, he specially invited a few people he was close to, but in the end he shot himself in the foot.
"Has Wen Jing gone?" Miao Minglei asked when he saw Ning coming over.
"I've gone." Ning said in a low voice, "Isn't it not good to do this? What if Mr. Lu doesn't recognize me?"
"He won't deny it." Miao Minglei said, "As long as we erase the traces, he will just think that he was drunk and slept in Wenjing's room, and Wenjing also drank, and the two of them lay like this for the whole night.
At night, he will definitely be held responsible if he tarnishes his reputation as a demure person."
"Brother..." Miao Wenjing trotted over, "There is no one in the room, he is gone."
