"I'm still in the mood to read. Think I'm not angry with my second cousin anymore?" As soon as Lu Shen entered the room, he saw Lu Zhan half-leaning on the couch, holding a book in one hand and lightly clasping the small table with the other.
He looked in a very good mood.
Lu Zhan glanced sideways at Lu Shen, then casually threw the book in his hand on the small table and said, "Are you going to talk to A Rong?"
Lu Shen did not deny it. He walked to the warm couch at the other end and sat down. He slowly poured himself a cup of tea, and then continued unhurriedly, "Arong was afraid that you would regret it, so he wanted to let me
Let me give you a few words of advice."
"Then you have good intentions." Lu Zhan raised his eyebrows.
Lu Shen smiled and said, "No matter what, Miss Xie wants to call me cousin. It doesn't matter if I say a word and ask for her favor."
"Then your cousin is really conscientious in his duties." Lu Zhan curled his lips, and at the end, he suddenly reached out and took the tea he had just poured from Lu Shen's hand, and took a sip.
Seeing this, Lu Shen just shook his head helplessly, raised his hand and poured himself another tea.
"However, I am quite curious about one thing. There are many girls who want to get close to you for various reasons. Why is it that my second cousin is so 'unlucky' to be humiliated mercilessly by you?"
"
Lu Zhan glanced sideways at Lu Shen and ignored his words.
Lu Shen smiled and didn't care, then continued, "According to Ah Rong, my second cousin just bumped into you in the Nuan Pavilion, and was humiliated by you without even saying a word.
, A Zhan, this is not like your temper."
Lu Zhan lazily adjusted himself into a comfortable posture, and then casually answered Lu Shen's words, "You said it all, she is unlucky..."
"Is it my second cousin who is unlucky? Or is Mr. Lu suddenly realizing that he miscalculated, and it turns out that the person who brought you into the game is not the person you want to see?" As Lu Shen said this, he raised his hand to refill Lu Zhan's tea, and raised his eyebrows.
The room was filled with smiles that could not be concealed.
"Tell me, what else did you find out from Ah Rong?" Lu Zhan simply raised his eyebrows and said bluntly.
Lu Shen hurriedly raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed twice.
As an elder brother, he went out of his way to talk to his sister. No matter how he said it, he always felt a bit uncomfortable on his face. After all, he had not cultivated like Lu Zhan, who regarded his face as nothing.
However, this embarrassment was far outweighed by his excitement at catching a glimpse of Lu Zhan's thoughts, so after coughing, he smiled and met Lu Zhan's eyes again.
"Arong said, after you ran away from my second cousin in anger, you took her to my eldest cousin's house?"
Lu Zhan watched Lu Shen curl his lips and ignored his words.
Lu Shen didn't care at all. He smiled and continued what he just said, "You also took the opportunity to humiliate your second cousin again in front of my eldest cousin?"
Hearing this, a smile finally appeared on Lu Zhan's lips. He raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice, "So? What conclusion did you draw?"
Lu Shen covered his mouth again and coughed a few times. Then, he leaned towards Lu Zhan and lowered his voice and said tentatively, "So, are you attracted to my older cousin?"
The smile on Lu Zhan's lips deepened, "So what?"
"You, you really fell in love with her..." Even though Lu Shen had already guessed in his heart, when he actually heard it from Lu Zhan, he was still so shocked that he almost knocked over the tea cup in his hand.
He clearly remembered that he used to treat Xie Wu just like any other girl, distant and polite. Why did he suddenly have such thoughts about her without any clues?
"Azhan, are you joking with me?" Lu Shen frowned and his expression became serious.
"Do you think I'm joking with you?" Lu Zhan said, smiled, picked up the teacup, and sipped the tea leisurely.
Lu Shen was stunned.
Of course he knew that Lu Zhan was certainly not someone who liked to joke around with others, but Xie Wu...
Xie Wu's face flashed through his mind. It was gorgeous and charming, and indeed had the ability to make people's hearts flutter. But if Lu Zhan was a person who was greedy for color, then it was not impossible that the girls who had tried to get close to him over the years were prettier than Xie Wu. But
I didn't see him being interested in anyone.
But if it wasn't for her face, then what did Lu Zhan like about her?
The most important thing is, when did Lu Zhan fall in love with Xie Wu?
After sending Lu Shen away, the Second Master Lu was in a good mood and picked up the book he had just thrown on the couch. His long knuckles regularly tapped out crisp and cheerful syllables on the table.
Of course he knew that his cousin was very thoughtful, and he had no intention of hiding it from him. After all, Lu Shen, who was obviously a cousin, was closer to Xie Wu than he was.
The most important thing is that since his eldest sister-in-law passed away, his aunt has thought of marrying Xie Wu in to fill Lu Shen's house.
If it weren't for the fact that Xie Wu hadn't yet reached the age of hairpin, I'm afraid Xie Min would have spoken to the Marquis.
Therefore, he had to prepare for a rainy day for himself.
With today's words, even if Xie Min intended to match up, Lu Shen would not dare to agree.
Thinking of this, Second Young Master Lu couldn't help but smile a little deeper.
Lu Shen thought he had spied on Lu Zhan's thoughts, but he didn't expect that all of this was planned by Lu Zhan, so he was waiting for him to come and question him.
After all, marrying a wife is a long way to go, and even brothers have to take advantage of it sometimes.
Of course, Xie Wu, who was in the Houfu, had no idea that she had been regarded as a 'daughter-in-law' by someone, and secretly cut off a peach blossom from her. At this moment, she was preparing to clean up the people Yang had placed in Cuizhuyuan.
After the meeting, Xie Zheng was going to Zuoyiwei to take up his post. Before leaving, he had to go to Ronghua Courtyard to say hello to the old lady. At the same time, he also told the old lady that he wanted to change all the people serving in Cuizhu Courtyard.
Although Xie Zheng did not say why he wanted to change people, how could the old lady not know about the affairs of the Marquis.
Xie Zheng did not reveal anything, and had already saved face for the Yang family. Moreover, the old lady was really annoyed by the Yang family. She agreed to Xie Zheng after a moment of thought. Even Xie Zheng said that the matter of selecting the person would be left to Xie Wu.
The old lady didn't even object.
When the news reached Tinglan Courtyard, Yang was so angry that he threw the white porcelain tea cup on the table to the ground with a wave of his hand.
"Isn't it just a Nian Yue? I've already dismissed her, what else? I want to replace all the people in Cuizhuyuan, and the old lady lets the big house slap me in the face like this!" Yang said angrily.
, the sharp sound actually covered up the sound of the tea cup breaking.
"Madam, what are you doing? Be careful not to disturb the old lady again." Seeing Mrs. Yang grabbing the tea cup again, Grandma Li hurriedly pulled her hand and advised her hurriedly.
"What happened to me when I accidentally smashed a few tea cups? Could it be that she wants to punish me for this?" Yang angrily threw away Nanny Li's hand, raised her hand, and another tea cup was broken into pieces.
on the ground.
"Oh, my good lady!" Aunt Li hurriedly pulled her to a chair and sat down, then reached out to caress her chest to cheer her up, and then continued, "What's wrong with you today? Why are you so restless?
Are you angry? If the big room needs to be replaced, just let them change it? What can a big girl know at such a young age? You still have the final say on the final selection? "
After hearing what Grandma Li said, Yang's expression finally softened a little.
"I just didn't expect Xie Zheng to intervene. He didn't reveal the slightest bit of news when we were in Cuizhuyuan yesterday! Mammy, tell me, is he suspicious of me..."
Yang looked at Granny Li in a panic.
Yesterday, Xie Zheng's face was too gloomy, but he didn't say anything at that time, so she thought she had fooled her...
Seeing how panicked Mrs. Yang was, Aunt Li hurriedly grabbed her hand and said to her in a calm voice, "Madam, please don't mess up! Even if the prince becomes suspicious, what can he do? Nianyue is already dead, and suspicion will always be there.
It can only be suspicion."
"But……"
"No but. Madam, think about it, the prince has just returned to the capital and has received such an important position as deputy general Zuo Yiwei. How much time can he devote to the general affairs of the Marquis? Besides, Madam, you know
, She is a piece of mud who cannot hold up the wall. In the end, the palace is still in your hands, madam." Grandma Li held Yang's hand and analyzed it carefully with her.
Hearing what Grandma Li said, Yang finally felt much better.
"That's what I said, but you forgot that there is an old lady sitting in Ronghua Courtyard." Yang curled her lips and said.
Although she had been taking care of the middle-aged affairs of the Marquis these years, she was not under the old lady's nose.
After all, the old lady was worried about her. If Mr. Chen hadn't been too stupid, the old lady would never hand over the middle child to her if Xie Zheng married someone else.
"With the Crown Prince's wife here, the old lady knows who she should choose even with her eyes closed? When the old lady's anger subsides in a few days, what should I do?" Seeing that Yang finally calmed down, Grandma Li also felt relieved.
tone, and then talked about Xie Yuan, "As for the girl... Madam needs more persuasion. Although the master was angry and scolded a few times last night, he couldn't lock himself in the room and not come out because of it? It's the maid's fault.
, there is no reason to involve the girl."
"I do think so, but that girl..." When she mentioned Xie Yuan, Yang felt her heart throb again, "It's all Lu Er's fault. Our two families are considered in-laws no matter what. Why didn't he care at all?"
And the face of both families?”
The old lady was annoyed, but she didn't say anything. Last night, her husband also scolded her. Even Sister Yuan blamed her for making a mistake and pointed at her nose to complain.
She really didn’t have a good word anywhere!
"The girl is young and thin-skinned. Madam should try to persuade her more and give her a step up. If she wants to turn around, she will naturally fall down. How can she be so stubborn all the time and add a lot of gossip for nothing? She is a smart person.
I will listen to the advice." Granny Li advised again.
"If she is really smart, she should know if this is the time to vent her anger on me!" Yang pouted and looked at Grandma Li with some aggrievedness.
Grandma Li immediately laughed and said, "Madam, don't just talk about the girl. Aren't you also trying to get angry with the girl now?"
Aunt Li is Yang's nanny, and she is very aware of Yang's petty temperament. Although Yang complained to her about the second girl, she actually listened to her words.
Therefore, Grandma Li feels much lighter now.
"By the way, madam, do you know why the prince wants to leave the selection of people in Cuizhuyuan to the eldest lady?" Seeing that Yang was completely relaxed, Grandma Li was not afraid to bring up the matter of changing people in Cuizhuyuan again.
"If you don't give it to her, why should you give it to Chen?" Yang glanced sideways at Grandma Li and couldn't help but chuckle.
Moreover, yesterday Xie Wu said in front of Xie Zheng that she wanted to choose the maid by herself. When Xie Zheng thought about it, Xie Wu couldn't make the choice, so he simply threw the whole matter to her. Anyway, no one in the big house could take responsibility.
of.
"It's just that after listening to Madam's words yesterday, I felt that the eldest girl is a little different..." Grandma Li said and couldn't help but frown slightly.
Yang seemed to have remembered something, and her face became serious, "Mommy, as you wish..."
"Didn't the prince leave this matter to the eldest lady? Madam, you might as well ask Yulan to go to the eldest lady to find out what she has to say. If the eldest lady refuses to listen, then let us take a good look at this eldest girl's abilities!" Li
