Mu Siyu directly invited Su Zhiliu to come and have tea.
She posted a message and arranged for afternoon tea, and Su Zhiliu readily accepted the appointment.
"This is the scented tea I prepared myself. I don't know if you are used to drinking it. If not, we will change it. Anyway, I want to satisfy you today."
Mu Siyu watched Ziyuan making tea and said to Su Zhiliu from the side.
Su Zhiliu looked at Ziyuan's movements and said, "Sister is a very busy person. Is it because you came to me for tea today because of my marriage to Mr. Lu?"
Mu Siyu: "..."
What a cheerful girl.
She turned back to look at Su Zhiliu, studying her expression.
"You don't have to be surprised, my father told me so," Su Zhiliu said, "To be honest, I nodded in agreement."
"I thought it was because of Ningzhu..."
"I have hesitated, but looking at the entire capital, there is indeed no suitable candidate like Mr. Lu." Su Zhiliu said, "If a military general's daughter like me marries into a family who is also a military general, she will inevitably have to bear the scrutiny.
After my father and brother went to war, they had to watch my husband go to war. I grew up watching my mother eating fast and chanting Buddha's name in the Buddhist hall, and I really didn't want to live like this."
She didn't want to experience that feeling where the whole house was immersed in panic again.
"If I marry into a civil servant family, those rules will crush me to death. I can no longer wear a military uniform, ride a horse on the street, and have to serve my parents-in-law and quarrel with my sister-in-law. But the Lu family will not have these things.
Mr. Lu doesn’t have parents who have strict rules. As his relatives, Mr. Lu and you both mind our own business. We can live our own small lives."
"You are very sober." Mu Siyu said, "You know exactly what you need. But, as a little girl, you have never fantasized about marrying a good man?"
"Sister, I am already very lucky. My father is still willing to discuss marriage with me. You can ask how many ladies from the official family chose their own marriage, and which one did not marry for the benefit of the family?"
"Have you thought about it?"
"I have thought about it for a long time and I have thought it through very clearly." Su Zhiliu said, "However, it is useless if I am the only one who has thought about it clearly. I still have to think about it clearly, Mr. Lu."
Su Zhiliu was a cheerful person, and Mu Siyu quickly understood what she was thinking, and then she started talking about trivial things like eating, drinking, and having fun.
When Lu Yi came back, Mu Siyu told him about Su Zhiliu's attitude.
"I gave Brother Xuan a month. If he still has no idea after one month, I will talk to him directly about the matter. The Su family is very good, and the girl is suitable for him."
Mu Siyu also likes Su Zhiliu.
However, this is a matter between both parties, so let the parties concerned consider it themselves!
"I made an agreement with Zisu and Ziyuan today. Zisu has fallen in love with a steward, and I plan to prepare a marriage for them. As for Ziyuan, she also has someone she likes, but she doesn't know who he is." Mu Siyu said,
"I thought I would probably ask you for help with this matter. You have many people on hand, so it shouldn't be difficult to check one person."
"What kind of person?"
"She was targeted once when she went out and was almost kidnapped. A man dressed as a soldier rescued her, but after rescuing her, the man left without leaving his name."
Mu Siyu said, calling Ziyuan in and asking her to briefly explain the cause and effect, focusing on the person's appearance and certain characteristics.
Ziyuan blushed and described the person's appearance.
"You fell in love with the other person because he saved you. Have you ever thought that the other person is already married?" Lu Yi said calmly.
Ziyuan's face turned pale: "My slave... my slave..."
"Don't scare her." Mu Siyu advised from the side, "She is not young anymore, I can't keep her, otherwise I will appear to be a very unkind mistress. I asked her if she had anyone she liked, and she
There was no other candidate, I only had a brief crush on this person. When she mentioned this person, I thought about looking for him. If the person got married, we would say we were looking for a savior. If the person didn’t get married, we would say we were looking for a savior.
His character is trustworthy, and as long as the two of them have no objections, they can accomplish a good thing."
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to help her find it."
"Thank you, sir." Ziyuan thanked her and retreated at Mu Siyu's signal.
"Master, Xuanwu wants to see you." Lu Zhiqian said outside.
"I'm going to the study to handle some things. I'll be back later. You go to bed first, don't wait for me."
Mu Siyu nodded.
Study. Lu Yi looked at the information handed over by Xuanwu and said, "Can't the identity of the woman be found?"
"Sir, there was a huge commotion at the time, and everyone in the temple was dead. But the woman seemed to fall from the sky, and no one knew who she was. This shows that she must not be an ordinary woman, and her traces must have been wiped away.
Those who knew about it were dealt with silently."
"After checking for a long time, I couldn't find anything." Lu Zhiqian said.
"This is normal." Lu Yi said, "The other party's methods are so ruthless. If it is easy to find out, I'm afraid it won't be true news."
"Does it have to end here again?" Lu Zhiqian asked.
"Zhiqian, you may need to make a trip yourself." Lu Yi said, "I don't believe there are no traces. If you and Xuanwu make another trip, don't be in a hurry to come back. Check slowly and you can always find something.
What."
"yes."
After his men left, Lu Yi sat in the study for a while.
He told himself not to rush, he had been waiting for so many years, and he was not in a hurry for this moment.
However, there is still an anger in my heart that I can't get rid of.
He didn't want to scare Mu Siyu, so he just waited until his anger subsided before going back to the room.
Before the one-month deadline came, Lu Xuan's promotion was put on the agenda.
It is said that his promotion was due to the investigation of a large-scale corruption case. He used this case to turn over and became the fourth-rank Minister of Household Affairs.
The ministers couldn't understand what the Lu brothers were doing.
If Hubei City hadn't been too far away, they would have really wanted to go to their old house to see if there was smoke coming out of their ancestral graves, or else why the two brothers were promoted so quickly.
As soon as Lu Xuan was promoted, there were only a few people at home and there was an endless stream of guests, which made it even more inconvenient to have no hostess at home.
So, half a month after Lu Xuan was promoted, Lu Yi proposed the marriage to the Su family.
Lu Xuan hesitated for three days before agreeing.
Therefore, the Lu family arranged for official media to come to propose marriage.
Su family. Su Sheng's wife, Mrs. Xiao, said to Su Sheng: "I asked you to propose this marriage earlier, but you didn't listen. Now that Lu Xuan has been promoted, our family may not be able to climb up the ladder."
"Let nature take its course!" Su Sheng said, "There is really no fate, and we can't force it."
"Eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law..." The second wife of the Su family walked in with her daughter with a smile, "I heard that our eldest daughter is talking about getting married. I have a good candidate here. I don't know if eldest brother and sister-in-law like her."
"Brothers and sisters, are you referring to your nephew from your mother's family?" Xiao said calmly, "I'm sorry, our Liu'er is still young and cannot be a stepmother for others."
