Chapter 161 Protecting the Master's Wife

"What? A servant from the Duke's Mansion?" Young Master Liu's first reaction was that his mother was joking.

Facing the puzzled gazes of the crowd, General Xuanyuan could only laugh to ease the awkwardness.

He forced an explanation, "You all have misunderstood. My grandson Jing'an admires Yun Jue very much, so I asked Lu Yun Jue to take care of him a little bit. It's not like he's just a tutor."

Madam Liu had no doubts about General Xuanyuan's words, but she looked a little surprised. "It would be a wonderful thing if Jing'an could really get to know a talented young man like Lu Yunjue."

At this point, General Xuanyuan finally remembered to ask, "Where has that kid Jing'an gone to be naughty again?"

Madam Liu smiled and said, "As soon as you two left, he ran away. I sent a few servants to follow him."

Lord Liu stroked his beard and said, "The banquet is about to begin. Madam, please send someone to bring him here."

Madam Liu said angrily, "We are an old couple, why are you being so awkward and polite?"

As they chatted and laughed, they talked about what had happened before, but no one mentioned the second young lady's inappropriate behavior.

In fact, it was a bit rude of Madam Liu to not recognize Lu Yunjue just now and instead send them off as painters.

But the main mistake was that Lu Yunjue did not take the initiative to reveal his identity.

Madam Liu was the elder, and she had initially been quite impressed with Lu Yunjue's talent, but now her attitude had cooled.

I feel that this young man, along with the Duke's wife and Xuanyuan Huili, are not very sensible.

What's the big deal about bringing your daughter to a blind date with a handsome man who is famous in Beijing by her side?

Then I thought of that little devil in the Duke's Mansion...

Originally, thinking of the power of the Duke's Mansion and the courtesy of the Duke's wife, she felt that marrying into the Duke's Mansion would be a good match.

Now it seems that the Duke's Mansion is just a beautiful exterior with rotten inside, and is not a good candidate for marriage.

In the subsequent conversation, her attitude gradually became cold.

The Duke's wife was being ignored and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Just then, the butler arrived to announce that the banquet was ready. Master Liu then called out to everyone, "Please move to the front hall!"

When they arrived at the front hall, everyone took their seats.

Madam Liu beckoned, "Runzhi, come and sit over here."

The Duke's wife quickly waved to Xuanyuan Huili, "Li'er, come and sit here too."

She was very satisfied with Mr. Liu.

The achievements of the Duke's Mansion have reached this level, which is unparalleled among military generals.

According to the Duke's opinion, we should learn from scholarly families, and marriage is the simplest and quickest option.

Although the Liu family's family background is not so prominent, their family education is obviously excellent.

Mrs. Liu had previously hinted that if Xuanyuan Huili married into the Liu family, she would never suffer any grievances.

Madam Liu felt a little uncomfortable. She deliberately chose a seat for Master Liu that was farthest away from the Second Miss, just to tell the Duke's wife.

Forget it. Your daughter is not worthy of my son.

Of course, to put it more politely, Lingshu is as beautiful as a fairy, and I dare not pursue her.

But the Duke's wife seemed not to understand her expression!

Xuanyuan Huili ignored her mother's call and secretly sat down next to Lu Yunjue.

Young Master Liu also wanted to chat with Lu Yunjue, but Xuanyuan Huili took his seat, so he had to sit next to Hu Xiner.

Mrs. Liu immediately misunderstood. Could it be that her son had fallen in love with this girl?

He looks pretty good, although he lacks the air of scholar, but his writing skills are excellent.

I just don't know if they are a good match.

She secretly glared at the Duke's wife, and then retracted her gaze in time when the Duke's wife didn't notice.

Women who have worked hard in the outside world are dull. No matter how smart they look on weekdays, their true colors will be revealed when big things happen.

Even if I marry a good husband and am loved by His Majesty, so what if I have wealth and glory?

He's just a clueless idiot.

Feng Ge was standing behind Young Master Liu. Hu Xiner was so upset that she didn't pay attention to the quarrel between Madam Liu and them.

At this time, Xuanyuan Jing'an ran over and stood behind them, panting, staring: "Where is my seat?"

The Duke's wife waved, "Jing'an, be good and sit over here."

"No!" Xuanyuan Jing'an angrily moved a small stool and squeezed in between Hu Xin'er and Mu Qing.

He felt that these adults were really bad. While he was away, everyone wanted to snatch his master and his mistress.

Madam Liu's face froze. She had never seen such an rude person!

Although the Liu Mansion is now in decline, they are still respectable families in the capital. Even when they are eating together, no one would use a small stool to squeeze in with their younger generations!

She exchanged a glance with Lord Liu, and saw that Lord Liu was also so frightened that he pulled out a strand of his beard.

Xuanyuan Jing'an looked around and saw that no one was picking up any food for him, so he pouted in grievance.

Halfway through the meal, he couldn't sit still anymore and started clamoring to go play: "I'm full!"

The Liu family members all looked indifferent, but the Duke's wife was full of doting: "Jing'an, be good. The banquet isn't over yet."

Hu Xiner didn't want to be annoyed anymore, so she took the initiative to suggest, "I'm full now, why don't I take Jing'an out to play?"

The two went to the back garden, Jing'an threw stones into the pond for fun, and Hu Xin'er watched from the side.

The stone made a few splashes on the water. Xuanyuan Jing'an put his hands on his hips and laughed triumphantly: "Haha, I finally mastered walking on water!"

Hu Xiner smacked her lips. If this brat were in modern times, he would probably be an internet-addicted and naughty kid.

At this time, footsteps were heard behind him. It was Feng Ge who followed.

When she saw him, Hu Xiner looked unhappy and pulled Jing'an away.

"Master's wife, what are we going to do?" Jing'an was confused.

"Wait!" Feng Ge stopped them.

Hu Xin'er asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"

Feng Ge had a lonely look on his face: "Feng Ge just wants to follow you."

Hu Xin'er was speechless: "What's the reason?"

Is there a magnet on her body?

Feng Ge said seriously: "Whether you believe it or not, as long as you are with Lu Yunjue, you will not have a good life."

What's the connection? Hu Xin'er wasn't in the mood to play dumb. "Speak human language! If not, I'll leave."

The two were talking and didn't notice Jing'an was squatting on the ground doing something quietly.

Since they didn't agree on the topic, Hu Xin'er walked around Feng Ge and left.

Feng Ge naturally wanted to chase after him.

Instead, there was a loud crash, and both of them looked back.

Jing'an picked up a huge stone tied with a rope and threw it into the lake!

The other end of the rope was tied to Feng Ge's feet!

Before Feng Ge could react, he was taken to the lake, his face full of confusion and shock.

What kind of bear is this?!

"Help, help!" With the stone pressing down on him, Feng Ge had no way of getting out of the water by his own strength.

Looking at Feng Ge struggling in the water, Hu Xin'er felt relieved: "Jing'an, well done!"

"Of course." Jing'an raised her little face and said proudly, "Master taught me to protect Master's Wife!"
