Chapter 199 No Way, No Way

In Lu's mansion, Lu Xinran held the faintly rumbling purse in his hand, feeling a sense of relief at the end of the day.

She just sold herself out like that?

If Song Junyan lied to her...

"It's just a lie, you won't lose anything anyway. Think about it, have you ever touched the hand of a person of the opposite sex in your past life, except your father?"

"You're sleeping with him, and you don't know who's getting the upper hand. At most, if he welcomes his concubine into the house, you can just ignore him."

"The one used by the concubine was the carrots you left over. Don't you think you're quite lucky when you think about it this way?"

Lu Xinran: "..."

Thank you so much, you are so comforting!

She used the rest... and even destroyed it and didn't give it to anyone else!

She asked Cuizhu to put the purse away carefully, and then went to Pei's room and told her everything that happened during the banquet with Song Jun today.

Pei originally thought that she would be somewhat resistant to this marriage, but she did not expect that the two had already negotiated it privately.

"Okay, our second daughter is going to be engaged! Don't worry, your dowry will be in the hands of grandma. She will make sure you get married in style and no one will find fault with you."

Lu Xinran giggled, "No, no, just follow the normal quota. We still have our elder sister and younger sister to take care of."

It would be bad if the four of them emptied the Lu Mansion and then it would get out and become a laughing stock.

"Don't worry about them. Grandma treats everyone equally and won't let anyone down."

After Lu Xinran returned to his own courtyard, Pei finally put away her smile and asked someone to call Zhao over.

After Lu Xinlan's repeated persuasion in the past few days, Zhao finally figured it out.

Marrying into the royal family was not something she could achieve just by wishing.

The fact that the emperor fell in love with Lu Xinran was due to her ability.

But now that dead girl’s marriage has been decided, what should she do with Xin Lan?

She is the eldest sister. If her younger sister is engaged but her marriage is still unsettled, won’t she be laughed at by people in Beijing again?

"Mother, don't worry. My brother hasn't gotten engaged yet, so there's no rush for my marriage. My sister's arranged marriage is different from ours, so don't worry too much."

Lu Xinlan has been comforting Zhao these past few days. When the imperial decree of arranged marriage arrives, the ladies of various mansions will surely come to the mansion to congratulate them. At that time, Zhao, as the biological mother, will have to come to entertain the guests.

If she couldn't get over it and always felt that Lu Xinran had stolen her marriage chance, clues would surely be revealed in her words and expressions, causing people to laugh at the discord between them as sisters.

Laughing at her for never being liked by her biological mother.

How could she bear to let this silly sister be criticized for such a thing?

Zhao looked at the gentle smile on her face and sighed even more sharply.

"Wait for mother. I will find you a good marriage, one that will be no worse than that silly girl's."

"Okay," Lu Xinlan smiled and stroked the back of her hand. When she calmed down, he said, "Mother, my sister is going to marry the prince, and she must have a lot of dowry, so I want to give all the farmland and shops you gave me to my sister."

"How can I do that! If I give it to you, it's yours! Okay, you don't have to beat around the bush. She must have a lot to give. I won't be reluctant to part with this little bit of stuff."

When she got married, the Yun family gave her a lot of dowry, and in the following years, they continued to send her various silver, money, land, and shops.

She didn't even know how many private properties she had in her hands. The ones she gave to Lu Xinlan were just thrown out by her for her to practice.

It’s just some makeup for that dead girl, she won’t be stingy.

When Lu Xinran heard Lu Xinlan talk about Zhao's attitude, he just curled his lips but did not refuse.

She would not pretend to be noble and not want anything. This was Zhao's debt to her body. If she had not been stupid back then, all the trouble would not have happened later.

So she is the culprit of all this, so if she pays a little money to pave the way for her sins...it's a bargain for her!

Lu Xinlan listened to her inner voice, and an absurd thought could not help but emerge in his mind.

These two... are real mother and daughter!

This look of arrogance and disdain for each other is exactly the same.

"Did His Majesty the Fourth Prince say when he would arrange a marriage for you?"

"It should be after he was crowned as a king and established his own government. Didn't the Third Prince also arrange his marriage after he was crowned as a king?"

Is Song Junyan's birthday in late February or early March?

She thought about it for a long time, and then realized that she really didn't care enough about her future husband!

"The decree should be issued in early March, so the wedding will be held at the end of the year, so it's not too rushed."

When Lu Xinlan thought about the wedding, she thought about the fact that neither of them knew how to sew. She looked at her blankly, "What about your wedding dress? Are you going to make it yourself?"

Lu Xinran looked confused. This, this question was beyond the scope!

"Let grandma find an embroiderer for us? Then we can compare the work and it should be considered as our own, right?"

Lu Xinlan nodded in agreement despite his doubts, "That should be enough!"

They have to do it even if they can't. They don't have Tang Wanrou's skills.

Speaking of Tang Wanrou, the two of them thought of the fact that she was going to get married next month, and they had not yet gone to the Tang family to buy makeup for her.

"I'll prepare the things. Let's send the invitation to the Tang residence first. When Madam Tang sends someone to deliver the letter, we can go there."

They were going to put on some makeup, and Zhang Shuier, who liked to join in the fun, naturally couldn't miss this opportunity.

Especially since she heard from her grandfather that the emperor intended to marry Lu Xinran to Song Junyan as the princess.

But she knew what a terrible image Song Junyan had in Lu Xinran's mind. Could she accept this marriage?

Zhang Shui'er wanted to run to Lu's house ever since she heard about this, but her mother would not let her go out no matter what and would not let her be so rude, so she could only stay at home depressed.

When she learned that they were going to get makeup, she begged Mrs. Qiu for two days. Finally, it was the old lady who asked, and Mrs. Qiu agreed.

Zhang Shui'er happily ran to the Tang Mansion with a box of gems. She didn't care whether Tang Wanrou would marry into the Zhang Mansion in a few days.

Lu Xinran always talks about everyone, so she also talks about everyone.

At the Tang residence, Liu warmly welcomed them in and started talking to them.

If they hadn't come to the mansion before and allowed her to send Luo Sijia away in time, their mansion would have been in a mess by that man.

Afterwards, she was always terrified whenever she thought about the possible consequences.

They had never been on guard against Luo Sijia, and they had planned it without realizing it. That girl was so meticulous, Tang Chongli would definitely fall into her trap.

Thinking that her son was almost ruined, she looked at the two sisters with pure eyes and felt extremely happy.

It’s a pity that Lu Xinran was chosen by the emperor, otherwise... No, Lu Xinran is going to marry the fourth prince, and Lu Xinlan hasn’t found someone yet?

It would be a pity if such a good girl married into another family!
