"Since you are confident that you can become the Prince Rui's concubine, then just go for it boldly." Lu Seyan said with a smile.
"What? You think I'm not capable?" Lu Ruoyan snorted coldly, sitting straighter with her chin raised high.
"Okay, why not? Didn't I tell you to do it boldly?" Lu Seyan said, "Prince Rui is a refined scholar who likes music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Sister should cater to his tastes."
Lu Ruoyan looked at her, "You seem a little strange today. Is there something bad going on here? Are you hiding some information?"
Lu Seyan smiled bitterly, "If I say no, Sister will probably be even angrier. Now that I say yes, Sister still doubts me, what do you want me to say?"
"Anyway, I just feel like you have bad intentions."
"Alright!" Madam Lu knew that if she continued talking, the two of them would probably start arguing.
"Seyan, do you really think your sister can become the concubine of King Rui?"
Lu Seyan didn't know what happened to the old lady?
Is this what she said she could do?
She was just following Lu Ruoyan's words.
"Grandmother, everything depends on human efforts. As long as my sister is willing, this autumn hunt is indeed a good opportunity. Princess Rui just gave birth not long ago, and the young prince is still young, so she will definitely not accompany him." Lu Seyan said.
Old Madam Lu nodded, "It is indeed an opportunity. Alas... We don't have a male heir in the Hou Mansion, otherwise we wouldn't have gone to such great lengths. Ruoyan, since you have such an idea, then you should seize the opportunity. If there is anything you cannot grasp, you must discuss it with your sister."
discuss?
Lu Ruoyan wouldn't do that.
She looked down on Lu Seyan and her daughter from the bottom of her heart, and thought that their methods were inferior.
But she didn't think about the fact that Bai Huiru actually had experience in this matter and it was a successful example.
It is a skill that a country girl like her could charm the marquis so much.
Although it is not up to standard, but her thinking of seducing King Rui is not up to standard either.
Unfortunately, Lu Ruoyan still planned to go her own way and didn't intend to listen to the opinions of the mother and daughter.
Not only did she not focus on studying music, chess, calligraphy and painting, she also had evil intentions. She always felt that Lu Seyan would not be able to help her, and she also planned to impress King Rui.
Since it is an autumn hunt, naturally one needs to be first-rate in archery and hunting. There are no men in the Marquis's mansion, so it is up to her, the eldest daughter, to take the lead.
Bai Huiru was quite good at finding out information, and she soon found out that Lu Ruoyan had locked herself in the yard and hired someone to teach her archery, and she studied very hard.
"Ruoyan, do you want to learn too?" Bai Huiru said, "You are smarter than her and will definitely learn faster than her. By then, you will definitely be able to overshadow her."
Lu Seyan shook her head. "Even if I really want to learn, it's not now."
"Why? You can only be seen by those men if you stand out."
"I don't want to marry King Rui. Besides, it's not that easy to get the limelight. If Lu Ruoyan doesn't believe me, it will end up in vain."
"It's a pity that I can't go..." Bai Huiru pouted, "Mom has never been there either."
Lu Seyan frowned, "You will only have such thoughts when you become the proper master of Hou Mansion."
She was just talking casually, so she gave up the idea. With her background and having been without a name or status for so long, it was simply a dream for her to become the mistress of the marquis's mansion.
Lu Seyan knew it very well, but she didn't want her to say it so casually, as it almost hurt herself.
The reason was that Bai Huiru's restless heart became agitated again under the instigation of her words.
He actually came up with the bad idea of drugging Mrs. Lu.
But she was not that brave after all. She didn't dare to kill anyone, but she gave her a laxative. In the few days before she went out, Mrs. Lu suffered from vomiting and diarrhea. She couldn't even leave the yard, let alone go out.
Lu Seyan was just a little suspicious at first. Although everyone did not eat and live together, they all used the same kitchen. Why was Mrs. Lu the only one like this?
When she pressed the matter, it turned out to be just as she thought.
"I... I was thinking that if she couldn't go, then the old lady certainly couldn't go either. You two sisters are still young, so you'll always need someone to accompany you!"
Lu Seyan's eyes went dark, but she didn't faint yet. She was just angry, "You...what can I say about you!"
Lu Seyan felt that she was so tired at such a young age. "Even if Madam couldn't go, you wouldn't take us there. There's no adult at home. Even if we didn't go, we wouldn't let you accompany us. Don't you know your own status?"
“I…I…”
"I don't ask you to help me, I just ask you not to hurt me."
"I... I'm helping you. Madam is not your biological mother. She will definitely give a good man to her daughter. When she goes, she will be on your side."
"I don't need it." Lu Seyan said helplessly, "Can you just eat and drink enough, lie down, and don't worry about my business? You are not helping, you are causing trouble."
After being scolded by her daughter, Bai Huiru became much more obedient.
Lu Seyan tried to find a way to make Mrs. Lu feel better. Fortunately, Mrs. Lu thought it was because she ate some fruit before going to bed to cool off, and she didn't suspect Bai Huiru and her daughter at all.
She also felt that they didn't have that much courage.
…
In the princess's mansion, the three boys from the Xia family were also rubbing their hands in anticipation, looking as if they were ready to perform well.
"We have to make our grandmother proud this time and show those people that we are not stupid people from the countryside who know nothing."
Xia Hai swore that although no one said these words to their faces these days, they had said them a lot behind their backs.
Xia Jiang nodded, "Yes, the three of us brothers finally have a chance to fight for our place."
Xia Zhiliao was holding the hawthorn cake she had just made. It was the season for harvesting hawthorns, and her aunt was not around, so she could only figure out how to make it herself.
[Brothers, this idea is not right. ]
The three brothers all looked at Xia Zhiliao.
Xia Zhiliao didn't know that they heard her thoughts, and still looked confused, "Do you... want to eat? There are some in the kitchen, sour and sweet, very delicious."
Xia He glanced at his two younger brothers and said, "No...or maybe we should stop trying to steal the spotlight."
The two brothers who had just heard Xia Zhiliao's thoughts at the same time did not dare to insist any longer.
"Brother is right. There is no point in being in the limelight."
Xia Zhiliao smiled and said, "Third brother, you are right. Let them look at us however they want. We cannot stand out from the spotlight."
Xia Jiang wanted to ask just now, "Why? Why did you let me work hard in the army? Why don't you let me take the spotlight now?"
Xia Zhiliao smiled and said, "Second brother, that's a good question. This question, hiccup~"
