Chapter 246 This girl is really petty

In front of the Tang Mansion, Lu Xinran got out of the car surrounded by his two sisters and found that there were many other people's carriages in front of the Tang Mansion.

She raised her eyebrows in surprise. It seemed that Liu was not satisfied with Lu Xinlan and did not want her to be the only one.

Kong smiled and glanced at her out of the corner of her eye, then stepped forward and let the nanny beside Liu lead them into the mansion.

This was not Lu Xinran's first visit to the Tang family, but it was this time with a very different mood.

The Tang family is not a prominent family in the capital, so the land they occupy is not very large.

After walking through the corridor, they arrived at the old lady's yard in the backyard. They first went to pay their respects to Old Madam Tang, and then were led to Liu's yard.

They didn't arrive early, as several ladies were already sitting in Liu's room.

When Lu Xinran entered the room, she glanced consciously at the faces of several people. She had met these ladies at previous banquets.

She just happened to be acquaintance with the girls behind them.

She went forward with Kong to greet Liu, and then smiled and nodded to each of the girls.

Several people looked at her, all with nervous expressions.

None of them expected to meet the Lu family at the Tang Mansion today.

Some people are already worried, fearing that Lu Xinran will uncover what’s going on in their own homes.

Lu Xinran had just received a large amount of health points from Hanyu Pass some time ago, and the system was upgraded from fifty steps to one hundred steps. According to the system, these one hundred steps are already the limit of distance.

There's no way to increase the distance next time she upgrades, so she's not really interested in watching the show right now.

She had read Liu's booklet before and had guessed her thoughts, so she was too lazy to read Liu's little plan at this time.

After sitting down, she pulled up her handkerchief and gave a gentle and appropriate smile, no matter what everyone said, she smiled and nodded in agreement.

Originally, Liu's favorite candidate was Lu Xinlan, but Zhao's words were so ruthless that she couldn't help but take them to heart.

Thinking that if her son really married Lu Xinlan, she would have to become a relative of such an ungrateful lady, she began to back out.

We invited so many people here today, and we also wanted to use Lu Xinran's system to see if there are any suitable candidates.

A quarter of an hour passed after the Lu family entered the house, and everything was surprisingly quiet. The heart-pounding sound did not appear even once.

She couldn't help but look at Lu Xinran suspiciously. Isn't this girl the one who loves to spy on the privacy of other people? Why is she so quiet today?

Kong leaned slightly to the side, blocking Liu's inquiring gaze.

Seeing her like this, Liu couldn't look at her deliberately anymore, so she smiled and found a topic to talk about.

"Miss Lu Er, I heard that the fighting on the border is intense and there have been many wounded soldiers in Hanyu Pass. Is this true?"

When she asked about the situation at the border, everyone immediately became interested and looked over with smiles on their faces.

Without Lu Xinran by his side, with no one to serve as his mouthpiece and brain, Lu Xinran could only put his IQ and EQ online immediately.

She nodded with a proper smile and said, "Yes, Chahar has mobilized nearly 300,000 people to attack Yucheng Pass and Hanyu Pass. If General Xie had not received the news in advance and made proper arrangements, Chahar would have already reached the capital."

"Oh my god, why is it so serious?"

Cui Sheng's neighbor's aunt Wang from the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery cried out in surprise, and the two girls behind her also turned pale.

"The border has always been short of food and clothing, and the army is only 100,000. How can it not be serious? It is a miracle that Hanyu Pass can be defended. It is General Xie and General Qi who are adept at using troops. We can still live a stable and luxurious life in the capital. In the end, we should be grateful to them for blocking the brutal invasion of foreign tribes with their blood and flesh at the border."

Her words made people feel inexplicably uncomfortable. Several people in the room either raised their hands to touch their temples or picked up their teacups to pretend to drink tea.

Liu frowned slightly, as if she had not expected that she, who had always been a simple-minded person, would become such a different person today.

She hurriedly smiled and spoke to smooth things over, "This battle is difficult. I heard from my master that the Ministry of Revenue has already sent another batch of grain and fodder, and various supplies are also being mobilized.

"General Xie and General Qi are so brave. I believe they will be able to recapture Yucheng Pass soon and drive the foreign tribes out of the border of our Great Chu."

Liu's words were very generous, so Lu Xinran couldn't say anything more and could only nod.

Having been hit by a thorn in the border defense, Liu was unsure of her state of mind today, so she stopped probing her with words and turned the conversation to the other ladies.

Looking at her graceful and skillful appearance, Lu Xinran called out to the system in his mind, asking it to record all of Liu's words and actions today.

"Why do you remember this?"

"Observe and learn. Didn't you hear what grandma said? I will be a princess in the future, so I must have the necessary social activities. If that guy wants to compete for me, I have to help him."

His reason for the sake of all living things successfully moved her and gave her a reason to stop living a life of idleness and waiting for death.

The system grunted and immediately went to work diligently.

Liu was very good at socializing, and within a quarter of an hour she had made the atmosphere in the room lively again.

No matter who she talked to or what the topic was, the voice she was expecting never appeared.

This inevitably made her feel a little disappointed. It would be best if she could find a girl other than Lu Xinlan who was suitable for Tang Chongli.

But, she glanced at Lu Xinran again. Could it be that this girl had noticed what she was thinking?

She had previously asked Tang Quyan to discuss the marriage between the two families with Lu Jinchuan. Judging from Lu Jinchuan's behavior, this girl should have known what they were thinking.

Thinking of this, her eyes quickly swept across the girls and ladies in the room, and she realized in an instant that her thoughts had been guessed by that girl.

Knowing that she was beginning to doubt again, I was probably ready to give her a negative score.

This thought made her feel bitter, knowing that if she didn't save him, she would never be able to marry Lu Xinlan into the house.

"Xinran, is your sister doing well at the border? Has she said when she will be back?"

Realizing that she had done something stupid, she stopped trying to be subtle and directly asked about Lu Xinlan who was far away at the border.

Lu Xinran smiled and put down the tea bowl in his hand: "Mrs. Lao Tang is worried about my sister. She is doing well at the border. It is different from the capital. There are not so many restrictions. Although life is a little harder, people are much more comfortable than in the capital.

"Besides, she went there to take care of the Empress. With the Empress protecting her, she can do whatever she wants.

"Sister, you have performed great service this time. The Queen even said that she would ask for an imperial decree to reward you when she returns."

She repeated here what she had said to Pei before, but did not mention when she would come back.

Liu's voice became more and more bitter. This girl... is so petty. She starts to take advantage of her good sister to hurt her before she even has a chance to date.

However, the more the girl said this, the more she felt that Lu Xinlan was the most suitable for her family, Chongli.
