Chapter 163 She is a real logical genius~

Hearing her say that they would be sixteen after the Chinese New Year and would start discussing marriage, Lu Xinlan was stunned for a long time.

She suddenly realized that compared with Lu Xinran, she, who had the complete memory of her original body, was the one who had not yet been able to fully integrate into this time and space.

In her mind, life can still pass slowly and there is no need to rush into marriage.

Even though her original body had been raised in the Lu family, she was not a member of the Lu family. In the capital, except for the families of minor officials who would come to propose marriage to her, it was difficult for her to find a husband.

Given how much Pei and Zhao loved her, they would certainly not want to let her suffer any injustice.

However, it was difficult for her to marry into a wealthy family with her status, so due to the expectations of her elders, she always thought it would be difficult for her to get married.

It's not easy for her, and Lu Xinran's marriage will definitely not be smooth, after all, their statuses are somewhat inferior.

But now hearing her say this seriously, she began to face up to their situation.

Due to the influence of the system and their voices, the two sisters have changed a lot in the hearts of the ladies in various mansions.

Especially Lu Xinran, all the ladies who came into contact with her liked her very much.

In particular, Mrs. Xu, the wife of the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, mentioned more than once that she wanted her to be her daughter-in-law.

Her marriage would no longer have the twists and turns she had initially analyzed.

If there are no setbacks, the marriage will be put on the agenda on time.

And as the eldest sister, her marriage will definitely come before her.

This realization made her heart suddenly heavy, and she sighed softly at her depressed look.

"There's still time. Let's think of a solution."

The carriage moved neither fast nor slow, and it was still bright when we returned to Lu's mansion.

Pei had someone tell them to go back to the courtyard and rest after returning home, and it would not be too late to come back to her place after they had recovered enough energy.

When Lu Xinran returned to the yard, he asked someone to go to the kitchen to get some hot water. He simply washed himself and ate a bowl of shredded pork noodles, then fell asleep.

It was not easy for her to flip through the booklets in the system and try to find clues from them.

After all, each book represents several decades of life.

She was sleeping soundly, but Lu Xinlan was worried about her. He ate something simple and went to Pei's room.

After explaining the new clues and waiting for Pei to express her shock over the twists and turns, she casually mentioned the marriage of Zhang Kaiji and Tang Wanrou.

"Next February? That seems a bit premature, but given the situation of both families, this is the only option."

Pei sighed as her eyes wandered over her, "Xinlan girl, I'm afraid your marriage with the Fourth Prince will fall through. Your background...well, marrying into the royal family is always a little difficult.

"Although being the wife of a prince is an honor, you still have to live your own life, and only you know what will happen in the future.

"The princes all have one principal wife, two concubines, and many maids.

"How are you going to live in a mansion like this? Grandmother can't bear to see you suffer this kind of injustice, so this marriage..."

"Grandma," guessing what Pei was going to say, Lu Xinlan immediately interrupted her with a voice, "Grandma, my granddaughter is not in a hurry to get married, and my second sister doesn't want to either. We are still young, can you please keep us for a while longer?

"We want to stay by your side and be carefree girls at home, rather than serving parents-in-law, taking care of husband and children, and being someone's wife who no longer has her own life.

"Grandma, if possible...can you let me stay with you forever and never get married?"

She tried very cautiously, and Pei thought she was joking and raised his hand to tap her forehead.

"What nonsense are you talking about, little girl? I won't let you stay at home as old maids and be laughed at by others. Just rest assured, I will find a good marriage for you all."

If you can't become a prince's consort, then find a kind family and a considerate and gentle young man to be your husband.

Returning to his own courtyard, Lu Xinlan looked out the window and sighed deeply.

I had guessed this result before trying it out, but I was still a little disappointed when I actually heard it.

Forget it, it’s still too early to get married, so let’s think about the case at hand first.

She forced herself to recall the young masters she had seen in her original memory. If Lu Gaorong could be brainwashed by Zhang Yuqi, who came from a family of minor officials and was looked down upon by ordinary people, then it was not impossible for someone with a lower family background to control Zhang Yuqi with rhetoric or other means.

But this will only make things more complicated.

If Zhang Yuqi has already disappeared, then searching for him would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

The more new clues are uncovered, the more secrets are revealed.

Even with Lu Xinran's cheating device, she still found it difficult again and again.

She turned around and walked to the table, picked up the ink block and slowly ground the ink on the inkstone while sorting out the thoughts in her mind.

The next day, no news was sent to Lu's mansion.

To them, no news meant that Zhang Yuqi had disappeared and they could not get any more clues from him.

Until it got dark, there was no news from the government office or Cui Shenglin and others.

Lu Xinran was getting a little depressed from waiting in vain.

She found that this case was like a nine-ring puzzle, and the mystery could not be solved until the last step.

If we keep delaying like this, the year will soon be over before we enter the last month of the lunar calendar.

"If there is no news tomorrow, how about we go to the government office to inquire?"

There was no way to keep waiting like this. If it wasn't for the fact that it was getting dark and there was going to be a curfew soon, she would have wanted to go to the market right now to look for clues.

Knowing that he couldn't stop the person, Lu Xinlan just nodded lightly, and then handed her the clues he had sorted out the day before.

"See if there are any omissions. If there are any details I overlooked, please help fill them in, and then we can discuss it together."

With a new assignment, Lu Xinran looked at the thick stack of case files in his hand and immediately went back to his room to work hard.

Let her fill in the details, and she will fill in all the details she sees from the system!

If anyone asked her, she would say that she heard it in the market.

She is such a logical genius~

On the morning of the third day, before the two sisters left the house for Shuntian Prefecture, Cui Sheng's neighbor's servant was already waiting outside the door.

"My two young ladies, my master said that he accidentally heard someone mention Zhang Yuqi's name on the street the other day, but the person was vague about it and he didn't dare to believe it. So he wanted to ask if you two are free today and can go and help him take a look."

Hearing that there was finally some news, Lu Xinran quickly responded.

"If you have time, you can go out now."

She replied eagerly without asking any further questions, which made the servant secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Pei did not object at all and even asked Madam Xu to prepare a carriage for them.
