Chapter 1218 Lu Sanzhu in the Water

Lu Sanzhu had been in the water for quite a while, and it was getting chilly at this time of year. He almost couldn't help but sneeze, but thankfully he managed to hold it in.

However, after hearing what the people in the pavilion were saying, he perked up and listened attentively, though a very unhappy expression appeared on his face.

Is there something wrong with the new magistrate's wife? Their son, Ayu, and that young master Meng are a couple, why does she need to mess around and play matchmaker?

Of course, he also admitted that Tang Wenqian was quite good.

But my wife and that old hag from the Tang family don't get along. How can they become in-laws? What if that old hag becomes Ayu's mother-in-law? Wouldn't she try to sow discord and keep Ayu away from the third branch of the family?

No, absolutely not!

Lu Sanzhu had a plan in mind, so he thought he should hurry up and talk to A Yu to make him more determined to be with Young Master Meng.

However, the people in the pavilion hadn't left yet, so Lu Sanzhu couldn't leave. Otherwise, if he made a noise, he would be finished, and he would also implicate Ayu.

The Xiao family members were unaware that they were facing away from the water and couldn't see him.

Still annoyed by Shu Yu's lack of cooperation, after a while, Madam Xiao exhaled and frowned, saying, "I'll wait another half month to see if there really is such a person, and to see how we'll handle what she said."

The maid hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "But Miss, what if this is just a temporary measure? What if she refuses you here today, and then goes to the master to complain?"

"Let her complain. I was just trying to be a good matchmaker for her. It was all aboveboard. Do you think I'm afraid of her?"

"But the magistrate treated her so well. I heard that when Lady Lu first opened her shop, the magistrate sent Hu Li and the others to deliver gifts and even stood up for her. Later, when her fourth aunt's husband got into trouble, the magistrate, out of consideration for her, only temporarily detained the Yuan family and didn't even send them to jail. Also, when Lady Lu was exiled, and the Lu family wanted to go with her, it was the magistrate who found a security escort agency to help them. As for Lady Lu's coming-of-age ceremony, needless to say, the magistrate not only delivered the gifts himself but also made a special appearance when she was being harassed by Lady Zhang, and even beat up Lady Zhang's brother. The magistrate has never done anything like this before. Isn't it a bit too good to Lady Lu, who is not related to him at all?"

With each word the maid spoke, Madam Xiao tightened her grip on her handkerchief, biting her lower lip so hard it almost bled.

Yes, when has her husband ever taken care of someone like this?

That Lady Lu was just a country girl from a remote area, while Xiang Weinan, the heir of the Marquis's mansion in the capital, never needed to put any effort into women; so many noble ladies in the capital wanted to marry him.

Xiao was not afraid of anything else, but she was afraid that Xiang Weinan had fallen for Lu Shuyu.

If she doesn't fall in love, it doesn't matter whether he takes her as a concubine or a mistress, since she never expects her husband to have only her by his side. But if he does fall in love, then she truly has no hope.

Seeing Xiao Shi's grief-stricken appearance, Granny Gu couldn't help but glare at the maid, "Why are you bringing this up? It will only add to Miss's troubles."

The maidservant felt rather aggrieved and apologized. Then she whispered, "Miss, I do have a way. If you're willing, it will solve the problem once and for all."

Xiao was taken aback and looked up.

Granny Gu was also somewhat surprised. "What method? Tell me quickly."
