Chapter 243: It's just to see if you still have some value

It was not until she returned to the Lu Mansion that Lu Xinran remembered that she had forgotten to ask Song Junhua about their marriage which had been postponed to two years later.

However, this is not a private matter. If you forget to ask Zhang Shuier, just ask Pei directly.

When Pei heard her ask about the third prince, a meaningful look flashed across her eyes.

"The King of Jin's wedding is scheduled for the end of November, so it won't affect your wedding with the King of Wei."

"Late November?"

Lu Xinran was surprised. Concubine Hua passed away. Didn't Song Junhua need to mourn for her?

Hearing her doubts, Pei smiled meaningfully: "No matter how respectable Concubine Hua was during her lifetime, she was not the empress, so Prince Jin could not call her mother.

"To be honest, she is no different from an ordinary concubine. The fact that the King of Jin has been keeping watch over her for a year is already a great act of filial piety.

"Moreover, the wedding date was chosen by His Majesty himself and was changed directly to November 16th."

Lu Xinran wanted to praise the emperor in his heart, this emperor was really not afraid that his son would rebel in the future!

Wouldn't this move make the knot in Song Junhua's heart even bigger?

If she were Song Junhua, she would definitely fight for the throne like crazy, and then posthumously confer upon her biological mother everything that she was unable to obtain during her lifetime.

When Pei heard her mumbling, she said casually, "So the court will probably be in chaos for a while."

"This is not a mess..."

It is estimated that the emperor will not be at peace until he dies.

Pei wanted to ask Song Junyan what was in his mind, whether he wanted to fight or what in this situation.

But looking at the thoughtful look of his granddaughter, the doubt still remained in his heart.

Some things are safer when they are a little vague.

She's just an old woman who's going to be buried, so it's better not to worry about her so much.

On the small road, Lu Jinchuan, who had heard the intermittent voice of his heart, felt as if a cat was scratching his heart.

This damn old woman!

She should ask what the King of Wei was planning.

The Lu family has been tied by the emperor to the side of the King of Wei, so he has to make plans early.

The less he heard what he wanted to know, the more annoyed he became. He blocked Lu Xinran's way back to the yard, ready to take him to the study to question him in detail.

As a result, Pei became interested when she heard her talk about Gu Zixuan.

The Lu Xintong sisters who happened to be there were also very excited and lively. If they were going to have dinner, they would have had it directly in Pei's room.

It was already dark when Lu Xinran came out of Pei's room. Lu Jinchuan was tired and hungry, and he was not in a good mood when he saw her.

"Come with me to the study."

After saying this, he turned around and walked quickly towards the front yard.

He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would lose control of his temper.

Lu Xinran didn't expect to meet him here, let alone expect that he had been waiting for her here for two hours!

Isn't he hungry?

She was answered by a gurgling sound on the wind.

Lu Jinchuan wanted to use his toes to dig out the map of the Great Chu. He gritted his teeth and walked to the study, and told the servant to bring dinner as soon as possible.

"Sit down. Grandfather wants to ask you a few questions."

He acted like an elder and raised his hand to indicate the position of the subordinate.

Lu Xinran sat down leisurely and looked around the room.

[This study room...which aunt liked to come here the most before? ]

[She also liked to hook her fingers around his palms when he was reading or writing memorials, and then call him "Grandpa" in a cute way.]

Lu Jinchuan: “?!!”

How can a lady from a noble family always pay attention to these things!

How could she please the King of Wei like this? !

He felt a burning sensation under his ears, and he glared and coughed hard, "Did your elder sister really stay in Hanyu Pass of her own accord?"

"Yes, my eldest sister will stay to take care of the Empress."

[What else? If she doesn't want to come back, can I still tie her back? ]

[Besides, what good is there in coming back? Even looking at this old scumbag's face makes me sick.]

Two voices reached Lu Jinchuan's ears at the same time, and the three words "old scumbag" made him want to scold him!

He took a deep breath, forced himself to ignore the disrespectful voice in his heart, and said again: "Write a letter to ask her to come back. The wife of Lord Tang, the Dali Temple Minister, has a good impression of her and wants to ask for your eldest sister to marry for her eldest son.

"Besides, it's not proper for you, the younger sister, to get married when your elder sister is still unmarried."

Lu Xinran blinked and said, "Grandfather has ordered that my elder sister will return to Beijing immediately. Just write a letter to her."

[If he really thinks this is a good thing, why doesn't he write the letter himself? ]

[Yesterday I asked my grandmother to write a letter, and today I am being arrogant again.]

[Although he won't be able to hold the position of Minister of Justice for long, isn't it too obvious that he wants to curry favor with Tang Quyan? ]

[Doesn't he feel ashamed by this? ]

Lu Jinchuan closed his eyes and couldn't hear anything. He didn't hear anything just now!

"I'll ask Jiu'an to go to your courtyard to get the letter tomorrow. You can write it to her when you get back."

"Grandfather, please write it yourself. I can't write this letter."

He forced her, and Lu Xinran was too lazy to be polite and tactful.

"If Grandfather feels that it is not appropriate for me to stay in the Lu Mansion, I can leave now, and the food and clothing I have been eating and drinking in the mansion during this period will also be returned."

"It's just a letter."

Lu Jinchuan glared at her, having lost his patience with her ignorance.

Lu Xinran held up his hands and said, "Indeed, it's just a letter, so why can't you write it yourself? Are you afraid of offending the queen or being criticized?"

"I'm afraid?"

Lu Jinchuan was so angry that he laughed: "I just think you are still valuable!"

"Oh, then just stop looking."

Lu Xinran acted as if he was a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, making every word of Lu Jinchuan seem like a punch hitting cotton.

He took another deep breath, "Okay, very good, you eat my Lu family's food and use my Lu family's things, but your heart is not my Lu family's!"

"So you're kicking me out of the house?"

Lu Jinchuan: “…”

If he could not afford to lose face and had the imperial decree granting marriage, he would have definitely taught this ignorant girl a lesson.

"You don't dare. You still have the nerve to do that. I know that."

Lu Xinran stood up slowly and said: "After all, I am going to marry the King of Wei. No matter how much you look down on me, I have no choice but to grit my teeth and accept it.

"You have been an official for too long and you always think that everyone should bow and scrape to you and follow your wishes.

"But I came back halfway. The Lu family never raised me, so it's normal that my heart is not here.

"Besides, I lost my life in this mansion."

"Nonsense!"

Lu Jinchuan angrily slammed the table and said, "What do you mean by losing a life? If you were not a girl from the Lu family, do you think you could catch the eye of His Majesty and betrothed to the King of Wei?"

"Then go and tell His Majesty to change his daughter-in-law. I don't care."

Lu Xinran met his raging anger with an attitude that was definitely asking for a beating.

"Okay, let's just say it. It's obvious that we don't like each other, so let's not talk about that nonsense.

"I am a person who is willing to take soft words rather than hard ones. If you talk to me nicely and give me some benefits, such as farmland and shops, I will definitely be willing to discuss everything.

"Tell me, what else is there? If not, I'll go back. After all, this study is... ugh."

She glanced around with disdain, and her gaze finally fell on the soft couch in the inner room.

Lu Jinchuan is old, and his face gets redder and redder.

If he had known that such a guy would return to the mansion in the future, he would definitely not let his concubines and maids enter the study!
