Chapter 497 Very Confident

Ye Mingzhu stared at Lu Dou carefully for a long time. Only when she saw that Lu Dou showed no guilt at all did she look away.

"Ludou, I'm not interested in the position of county lord. I don't need Prince Jing's Mansion to pay anything for me."

Even if Ye Mingzhu did not understand this dynasty, she knew that the Prince Jing's Mansion, which only had one legitimate grandson left, probably had no power here, and the emperor would probably not easily grant a county lady position.

"Sister, what I said is true." Seeing that Ye Mingzhu didn't believe him, Ludou said anxiously, "Sister, I wrote a letter to my grandfather, but he replied that for what you have done, you deserve to be a county lady."

"Sister is right. There is nothing left in our Jingwang Mansion now. I am too young and neither literary nor academic. No one in the capital takes me seriously."

Green Bean was in a very low mood.

Ye Mingzhu looked at him and sighed: "I'm very happy that Ludou can think of me. I'm just worried that if Prince Jing's Mansion intervenes in these matters, it will affect you."

"No impact." Lu Dou answered quickly, but sighed at Ye Mingzhu's understanding look.

"Sister, I'm telling the truth. Given the current situation at Prince Jing's Mansion, at most I found a few people to speak well of you. But it was the Emperor's idea to confer you the title of County Lady. Otherwise, no one else would dare to make such a suggestion."

Ye Mingzhu guessed from Banxia's words just now that the Prince Jing's Mansion had indeed made some efforts in her getting the position of County Lady.

Now that she had confirmed this from Luo Dou's mouth, she couldn't say how she felt.

She didn't care about the position of county lady, but Ludou asked her grandfather for her, and Prince Jing also helped, so she couldn't help but be grateful.

"Tomorrow, I'll ask Fifth Brother if he has any good dried seafood. We can buy some Linchang specialties and have someone send them back to your grandfather." Ye Mingzhu whispered, "I didn't know before, but now I know that Prince Jing has done me a favor. I can't just play dumb."

Green Bean looked at Ye Mingzhu anxiously: "Sister, don't you blame me?"

"You are doing this for my own good. Why should I blame you? I was just worried about you before." Ye Mingzhu smiled and shook her head.

Prince Jing's Mansion has already helped. If she says now that she doesn't need it, it would be hypocritical and would hurt their relationship. Anyway, Ludou has been living in their house and their relationship is already very close, so let it be.

Green Bean didn't expect to pass the test so easily and was very happy.

On Mrs. Lu's side, it was the opposite. She frowned and stared at Banxia: "You didn't bring Doudou here?"

Banxia had returned to her previous self. She bore a grudge against Ye Mingzhu and exaggerated what had just happened. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "She was just a little fisherwoman. If it weren't for Prince Jing's Mansion, how could she have become a county lady?"

The jealousy in her words was so obvious that Mrs. Lu noticed it immediately.

"Banxia, ​​when we left the capital, did I tell you that we might not return to the capital in the future and that you were not allowed to mention Prince Jing's Mansion again?" Madam Lu looked at Banxia and suddenly said.

Banxia was startled and lowered her head: "Madam, please forgive me."

"Who told you that Ye Mingzhu's title of County Lady was given to her by the Jingwang Mansion?" Madam Lu said to Banxia's surprised gaze, "It was the Emperor's will that she be made a County Lady. We in the Jingwang Mansion are the last to disobey the Emperor's wishes."

"You don't have to ask Doudou to come anymore." Mrs. Lu's eyes were filled with fatigue. "Let someone else go."

Banxia was so frightened that she knelt on the ground: "Madam, this cannot be known to others."

Mrs. Lu looked at her expressionlessly: "Doudou is my son. I don't need to worry about others knowing. Please go down."

Banxia was about to plead again when Ling Tongzhi came in laughing. Seeing this, he raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's going on?"

Mrs. Lu gave Banxia a look and asked her to go down.

Banxia raised her head, tears streaming down her face. "General, I went to invite the young master, but I didn't bring him back. I was wrong."

"I've already told you I'm not a general anymore. Don't call me general anymore." Ling Tongzhi said to Madam Lu with a smile, "I'll tell Doudou later. He used to be my best friend."

Mrs. Lu's face looked very unhappy. She said to Banxia, ​​"You go down first. Let Yuegui take care of us."

Banxia glanced at Ling Tongzhi. Ling Tongzhi was looking at Madam Lu but didn't see her gaze. Banxia said yes reluctantly and slowly retreated.

Mrs. Lu naturally saw Banxia's gaze. Her face turned ugly and she pursed her lips without saying a word.

Ling Tongzhi shook his head at her: "He's just a servant. If he doesn't work for you, just replace him."

Mrs. Lu tilted her head and looked at him: "Banxia followed me from the capital."

Ling Tongzhi looked at her with burning eyes: "Except for you, it doesn't matter where others come from."

Madam Lu thought about it and shook her head: "Forget it, I only brought Banxia with me this time. I don't know if I can return to Beijing in the future. Let's leave it this way for now."

Ling Tongzhi said indifferently: "Then stay. If you feel that you are no longer useful, I will ask the agent to send some servants over. These matters are not important."

Madam Lu glared at him and said, "These people accompany me every day. You say they are not important. Then what do you say is important?"

"You are the most important." Ling Tongzhi stared at her like a wolf staring at its prey, making her heart palpitate.

"We've already come to Linchang, and you've seen Doudou. Have you told Doudou about our situation?"

Mrs. Lu lowered her head and said nothing.

Ling Tongzhi looked at her for a long moment, then sighed, "Xiaoya, I won't force you, but if you want to stay in Linchang, you need to have an identity. You can't just live here in obscurity."

Mrs. Lu turned to the side, her back to Ling Tongzhi: "I don't care."

"I care." Ling Tongzhi turned Madam Lu's body over and said, "Xiaoya, I've missed you for more than ten years. I don't want to miss you again. I don't want you to suffer any injustice. I will definitely give you a grand wedding."

"No need," Mrs. Lu replied quickly. "With my status, if I had a wedding, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to explain it later. This is fine."

Ling Tongzhi looked at her disapprovingly: "You feel so wronged."

Madam Lu gave a bitter laugh: "I'm afraid there are still many people who say I'm not satisfied."

"Those people's heads have been kicked by donkeys. You don't have to pay attention to them." Ling Tongzhi said angrily.

Mrs. Lu didn't want to talk about these things. She shook her head and said hesitantly, "I haven't told Doudou about our situation yet. I don't know how to tell him."

"Don't worry about it. I'll take care of this." Ling Tongzhi said confidently, "I believe Doudou will support us."

"Really? But during this period of time, I can clearly feel that Doudou is becoming distant from me." Mrs. Lu felt very guilty when facing Ludou, so she never told Ludou about her and Ling Tongzhi.
