Chapter 193 Do Others Think They Are Dead?

Lu Yuanheng was not satisfied with Tang Wanrou. Her father was only a fourth-grade man. He himself needed promotion from others, so how could he help him?

If Zhang Shui'er's grandfather could become the Minister of War, then this marriage would be the best for him.

He had several candidates for wives in mind and had vaguely mentioned them to Zhao, but either Zhao didn't like the ones he chose or they were already engaged, so in the end, none of them worked out.

He also knew that his marriage could not be delayed any longer, so when he saw Zhang Shui'er at this moment, he immediately had ideas.

Seeing that his eyes were always on Zhang Shuier, Lu Xinran raised his hand and patted her on the shoulder.

"How did you get dirty? Be careful when you go back, don't get dirty."

Her words were suggestive, and Zhang Shui'er was stunned for just a moment before she understood the implication of her words.

She glanced at Lu Yuanheng who looked at her from time to time, and replied with a faint smile: "I know, I will listen to you."

Zhang Xinji took two steps forward unnoticed, blocking his sister behind him and out of Lu Yuanheng's sight.

Tang Wanrou originally didn't want to go out. She was getting married in a month, and as a married woman she should stay at home to avoid causing dissatisfaction in her husband's family.

But Zhang Shui'er wrote to her again and again to invite her to go out, and Qiu also sent an invitation personally. Her husband's family didn't mind, so she went out happily with her brother.

I was still a little shy and didn't know how to face Zhang Xinji later.

As a result, before they got close, the familiar voice had already reached their ears.

[How should I tell Zhang Er that Lu Yuanheng is extremely unreliable? The men in the Lu family are really bad to the core. Except for my second uncle who was raised by my grandmother since he was a child, none of them are good people.]

[Lu Yuanheng actually still fantasizes about relying on the power of the Zhang family to pave the way for his career. ]

[He thought that Zhang Xinji and his brothers were dead, and that their careers did not need the support of their family? ]

[Why not take a piss to see if you can show off your thick skin. ]

Tang Wanrou: “…”

So, the reason why she complained so fiercely was because Lu Yuanheng was here too?

She looked at her brother for help. She had a verbal engagement with Lu Yuanheng before. How embarrassing it would be if he appeared with Zhang Xinji later!

Tang Chongli raised his hand and placed it on her head in a soothing manner: "It's okay. As long as you and my mother don't admit it, those things in the past can have never happened."

Tang Wanrou: “…”

Is this still possible?

While I was thinking, a group of people were approaching.

She immediately spotted the elegant and refined Zhang Xinji in the crowd, and a blush appeared on her pretty face.

She felt uncomfortable, and Zhang Xinji's ears also turned red.

Lu Xinran smiled and bumped into Zhang Shuier's shoulder: "Your brother is so innocent~"

Zhang Shuier smiled smugly and pointedly: "The family discipline in the Duke's Mansion is strict. My eldest brother doesn't even have a maid in his room. He is served by servants. Mother also forbade him to have a concubine before he got married."

It's completely different from Lu Yuanheng and the fact that they could swear to each other forever.

She felt disgusted when she recalled the words she had just heard from Lu Xinran. She would never marry such trash even if she got married in this life.

Lu Yuanheng had been listening to Lu Xinran's various complaints along the way and was already filled with anger.

Hearing Zhang Shui'er's indirect criticism at this time, he could no longer maintain his expression.

He turned sideways to face Lu Xinlan, "Big sister, mother asked me to protect you."

He was not meant to be ridiculed by others.

Lu Xinran stepped forward and pulled the man behind him: "So, if you have something to do, you can leave first. The young masters of the Zhang and Tang families are here, as well as the maids and guards. There is no need for you to stay here deliberately."

She responded very rudely, not giving Lu Yuanheng any face.

Lu Yuanheng's face turned pale. He raised his hand and pointed again and again, then finally flicked his sleeves and turned away.

Zhang Shui'er was stunned. How could...how could Lu Yuanheng be so ungraceful!

It was just a few words before he just left his sisters behind and walked away!

[The annoying guy finally left! It would be troublesome if Zhang Eryi accidentally fell in love with him. ]

Lu Yuanheng, who had not walked far yet, paused slightly. Such a great opportunity... No, these people could hear Lu Xinran's thoughts. With Zhang Xinji around, it would be impossible for him to marry Zhang Shuier.

After realizing this, his slightly hesitant steps quickened again, and he disappeared into the crowd.

Lu Xinlan looked at the girl who was protecting him tightly, and his heart was filled with warmth.

"Let's go and see the lanterns."

Without Lu Yuanheng's gaze falling on her from time to time, Zhang Shui'er also felt at ease and pulled her sisters and ran forward.

Tang Chongli looked at the two people who were still shy and uncomfortable, hesitated for a moment, and then strode forward.

The wedding is in a month, so it's just the right time to hand the girl over to him now.

He came to protect Zhang Xinji's sister and the Lu sisters.

It was the first time for Lu Xinran to see so many lanterns. In her previous life, she was in poor health and had never been to crowded places.

Originally, she wanted to see some lively temple fairs this New Year, but because of the Sun family, the whole capital was a little nervous. Pei was worried about their safety and did not let them go out, so this expectation could only be left until the next New Year.

Fortunately, the lantern show was still worth watching. She took Zhang Shuier's hand and listened with great interest as she talked about the style and origin of each lantern.

"Which one do you like? I'll give it to you!"

In front of the stall, Zhang Shui'er generously patted her wallet and let her choose her favorite lantern.

Lu Xinran has already been dazzled by the choices and thinks every one of them is her favorite.

"Was there a lantern guessing game ahead? The kind where the one who guesses the most in the end wins everyone else and gets to win the most beautiful lantern?"

She thought of the plot of the novel she had read, and waited with bright eyes for Zhang Shuier to give her a positive reply.

Zhang Shui'er was still a little uncertain after being asked by her. She turned around and saw Tang Chongli who was protecting them. She hurriedly asked, "Is there such an activity?"

Tang Chongli chuckled and gave Lu Xinran a positive answer: "Yes, it's just ahead, but it's getting late, the lantern riddle activity should have already started."

If they don't register, they can't join in midway, so they can only watch the fun.

Lu Xinran didn't feel sorry, after all, she might not be able to guess a single riddle.

"Let's go and take a look!"

It's also good to be able to see the most beautiful lantern.

Zhang Shui'er was moved by what she said, and the group followed the crowd and squeezed to the place in the middle of the street where they were playing lantern riddles.

As soon as they squeezed over, they saw Cui Shenglin who was answering quickly on the podium.

[Eh, you answered so quickly? The fifth son of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion is not as unlearned as he looks.]

The voice reached the ears of many people watching the excitement. When Cui Sheng, a neighbor on the high platform, heard the voice, he immediately looked towards them in the direction of the voice.

The moment he met Zhang Shui'er's gaze, he quickly forced out a brilliant smile and waved at them.
