Chapter 143: Still Knowing to Bully the Weak and Fear the Strong
Another voice reached everyone's ears, and someone was already asking who Zhang Shuier's cousin was.
A man who can receive praise from Lu Xinran must have good character. Well, his mother should not be bad either.
So, don't be so narrow-minded and don't just think about your cousin. There are also very good girls in their house.
Zhang Shui'er didn't realize that just by running out to get some fresh air, she had attracted a lot of "rivals in love".
She broke off a willow branch and looked at the branch in her hand. Her heart felt as if it had been crumpled and was so messy that she didn't know how to sort it out.
Xu's attention was still on the two sisters. The more she looked at each of them, the more she liked them.
If only the two sisters could marry into the same family, she would definitely help her son marry both of them.
The lunch was lively, with Lu Xinran occasionally making noises of gossip. Except for the person whose name was exposed who felt panic, everyone else enjoyed it.
Qian's eyes were always on Zou, as if she wanted to bite a piece of flesh off her.
Qi Shouzheng's face behind the screen was also very unhappy. After lunch, the couple left in a hurry.
Zou didn't feel relieved until Qian left.
She didn't realize there was anything wrong with her plan, and her eyes were filled with resentment after being exposed by Lu Xinran.
Wang wanted to stay in Xu's house, but for some reason all the ladies were avoiding her.
Even the few people who had been chatting happily with Zhang Yuhe and the others before lunch seemed to have noticed something and hurriedly left the Xu Mansion.
This made Wang very frustrated. She knew that it would be useless to stay any longer, so she took her granddaughters home feeling very elegant and magnanimous.
As soon as they left, several family members who had not yet had time to leave all breathed a sigh of relief.
"She really can't hear?"
Zhang Shuier curiously leaned over to whisper in Lu Xinlan's ear.
Lu Xinlan shook his head slightly: "They probably can't hear it. The clothes they are wearing...are not made of materials that are popular in Beijing in the past one or two years."
The original body was raised as a prince's consort, and she had put a lot of effort into this aspect. After absorbing the original body's memories and "abilities", she could easily tell that the clothes on the other person were from a few years ago.
"Tsk, how come the Zhang family has been in such a mess these years? They can't even come up with five thousand taels of silver."
This is too poor~
If Wang could hear Lu Xinran's inner voice, she would definitely not have had so many thoughts in Xu's house today, making herself look like a little clown being watched by everyone.
Lu Xinlan was unwilling to comment on this matter. "It's getting late. We should go back home. You...your cousin from your maternal grandparents' family, Xinran thinks he is a good match for you."
Zhang Shui'er looked at their receding figures with a red face, but she had already thought of asking her mother to go back to her parents' home to find out more.
The gossips of the whole day were so exciting that Lu Xintong and the others ran to Pei's courtyard as soon as they returned to the mansion.
Lu Xinran went to the system to ask about his health points as usual, "How come nothing has been settled!"
She was speechless for a long while, and then asked weakly as if she had thought of something, "Qian and Qi Shouzheng's melons will not be settled until they give birth to a son!"
If it really came to this, she would definitely despise this useless system.
The system sensed her inner thoughts and was too depressed to say a word.
It also feels that the health calculation has been getting slower and slower recently, but... it's not its job to deal with this. It's so angry, sob~
"As for the gossips about Qian and Zou, can we only wait until her son dies or gets better?"
If she had to wait until the result was reached before settling each case, she was afraid that she would run out of health points waiting for the next settlement.
"No, I'm going to try to contact the master right now! If there's something wrong with the program, I'll give you some compensation."
"Also, why is it that the contents of Wang's melons are different the first and second time I saw them?"
If there really is a problem with the program, compensation... well, she is not greedy, so just don't give her five years of life.
Whatever happened in Xu's house today reached the emperor's ears before nightfall.
The emperor didn't care about the tricks used by women, but he was very curious about the insects used by Wang.
Qi Shouzheng, as a third-rank official, often went in and out of Wenhua Palace. He had always heard that he had no children yet.
I also know that he has tried countless methods over the years in order to have a child.
So, is that insect really that bizarre?
Thinking of the two girls from the Zhang family who had strange insects on their bodies, curiosity drove him to ask the empress dowager to summon the people to the palace early the next morning.
Zhang Yuhe and her sister never dreamed that they would enter the palace one day.
The two stood in front of the palace gate, with the urge to become the superior one surging in their hearts.
The young eunuch who came to lead them to the Yongshou Palace had the urge to treat them well the first time he saw them.
On the way to the Yongshou Palace, the young eunuch told them what they should say and do when they entered the Yongshou Palace, as well as what they should pay attention to.
After sending the person into the hall, he went back outside to wait, then he came to his senses and slapped himself hard.
With tears dripping down his spine, he recalled what he had said along the way. He felt that today would be the day of his death, and this day next year would be the anniversary of his death.
The emperor sat beside the empress dowager and looked down at the two little girls kneeling in front of the hall door.
It is true...it is easy to make people like her, but for him it is a negligible thing.
This so-called insect is quite interesting. It knows how to bully the weak and fear the strong.
Lu Xinran and a few others who had nothing to do in the Lu Mansion were playing mahjong in Pei's room.
She looked at her cards and fell into deep thought again. Such good cards and such great luck...why didn't she win?!
She looked at the people at the table suspiciously, and her peripheral vision caught sight of Pei, who was smiling so hard that her eyebrows were not visible. She felt that something was wrong.
"Old Madam," Nanny Xu came in from outside the courtyard and said immediately when she saw them all gathered today, "I just heard that the Queen Mother summoned the two girls from the Zhang family to the palace early this morning."
[Zhang Yuhe and the others have entered the palace? I really want to know how the emperor reacts when he sees them. ]
[Does he think she is just looking for an ordinary person, or does he subconsciously develop a liking for her and want to keep her and her sisters in the palace?]
【However, the emperor probably doesn't know the abnormality of them.】
Lu Xinran thought about how calm she and Lu Xinlan were the day before, and she became more curious.
[It would be nice if I could go into the palace to watch. It would be a good opportunity to see the emperor's big melon again. ]
Everyone: “…”
The emperor is afraid of her now, so he won't easily summon her into the palace.
[Forget it, the emperor's melons are nothing good. He has more than twenty sons... Even the breeding pigs are not as diligent as him. Even if Zhang Yuhe and her sister stay in the palace, their lives will not be easy.]
Even if you have a worm on your body, it will be of no use to someone who doesn't care.
She reached out her hand to pick up a card, then slapped it on the table happily, "Finally I can win, give me the money!"
