Chapter 247 Today is not in vain
Lu Xinran never thought that her continuous "impoliteness" would make Liu determined to be the one with Lu Xinlan.
She was stunned when she heard the system's reminder.
How could this Liu family not play by the rules?
She just didn't give her face twice. Shouldn't she be angry and hold a grudge?
"You thought Tang Quyan and Liu were kind people. If they were kind, they would not argue with a kid like you."
Lu Xinran was speechless. She was actually taught a lesson by a Tongzi.
However, since Liu was so discerning, she couldn't offend him again.
Lu Xinlan had approved of this marriage before, and she couldn't let it be ruined.
She put away the stubborn look she had when she first entered the house, and imitated Liu's graceful and graceful manner in talking about what she had seen and heard at Hanyu Pass.
He also described the ups and downs of the war in those days, causing everyone in the room to exclaim in amazement.
Before Wang finished listening, her heart was already in her throat.
During this period, the troublesome old fifth sister had been clamoring to go to the border, and her sister-in-law cried in front of her sisters-in-law every day.
She was originally worried that something might happen to him at the border, and now after hearing Lu Xinran say that it was so dangerous there, she was a little panicked.
What will happen if what she said today gets to the ears of her sister-in-law?
"Are the casualties so great here?"
"Yes, but it's much better now. With the explosives my sister developed, the casualties of our soldiers in Da Chu have been much less."
Seeing the worry in her eyes, Lu Xinran thought of Cui Shenglin who had left the capital two days ago, and hurriedly explained: "Don't underestimate that explosive. Such a large package can kill dozens of people, even horses. When I came back, Chahar had already withdrawn its troops from Hanyu Pass."
If they did not withdraw their troops, Che Long would bring his men to throw explosives outside their barracks every night, and would not give them a chance to breathe during the day, challenging them every day.
She saw groups of deserters from the enemy camp, who would flee wherever they could find a chance, regardless of whether they would be beheaded or not.
Speaking of these, people were amazed again and again.
"Miss Lu is indeed extremely intelligent."
Wang patted her chest and sighed for a moment, then she remembered that her youngest son had not yet been engaged!
In the past, she would have definitely been wary of Lu Xinlan's background, but to be able to develop a weapon that could turn the tide of the battle, how smart and capable must Lu Xinlan be!
Marrying such a smart and wise daughter-in-law can bring prosperity to three generations.
Her mind raced, and she looked at Lu Xinran with eagerness.
"Second Miss, when do you think the war will end?"
"This……"
Lu Xinran thought that the war would end when the emperor stopped treating the soldiers at the border harshly.
Now, due to lack of food and clothing, the soldiers simply cannot carry out a long siege.
Being able to defend Hanyu Pass and stop Chahar is already the limit.
Wang listened to her analysis, and although it seemed a bit "treasonous", she still nodded in agreement.
“Like this!”
If Lu Xinlan had to wait until the war was over before returning, then she would have just enough time to find an intermediary to go to Lu's mansion to propose marriage.
The wedding date of Lu Xinran and Song Junyan has been set for December. If Lu Xinlan's wedding date can be set before then, so that she can get married before her sister gets married, the Lu family will definitely agree.
Liu couldn't help but grit her teeth when she saw Wang's secretly happy expression.
She definitely made a stupid move for herself today. Not only did she almost offend her sister-in-law, she also made herself a powerful enemy!
The Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong is a rare clean and respectable family in the capital, otherwise she would not have invited Wang and her family to stay.
But if she can appreciate the other party's decency, so can the Lu family!
What if they think that the Duke of Zhongyong's Mansion is better, and Cui Shengqi is also better than Tang Chongli?
She was anxious and did not dare to let Wang and Lu Xinran continue chatting, so she quickly changed the subject.
Kong looked at everyone in the room with a smile. She came here today with a mission from Pei.
Although they don't need to doubt Liu's character too much with Lu Xinran's system as a guarantee, there are some things that cannot be determined by the system alone, and they also need to use their eyes and ears.
She originally came to see how satisfied Liu was with Lu Xinlan. Now, there was another family that liked Lu Xinlan, and it was the Loyal and Brave Earl's Mansion that wanted to marry into the Duke's Mansion. This seemed not bad.
"Host, the Wang you are talking to has taken a liking to Lu Xinlan."
“???”
Lu Xinran was talking and laughing, but when he heard the system's reminder, he only finished half of the words he was about to say.
[He actually has a crush on my sister. I have to see if there is anything fishy going on in the Loyal and Brave Marquis's mansion.]
Wang: “…”
No, when did this girl become so sensitive!
She was so thoughtful just now, but now her cheeks turned slightly red. Facing the eyes of others who were secretly looking forward to the show, she wished she could slap herself in the face.
[Hey, you know what, there are really interesting things in this loyal and brave mansion. ]
Everyone: “!”
Then you better tell me quickly!
It is better to die a friend than to die a poor friend. Today's trip was not in vain.
Liu also found a comfortable position and leaned on the cushion. She had to listen carefully to the big news of her 'rival'.
[There are so many people in the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion! ]
[The old uncle and his wife are still alive, so the family has never been divided. Counting from the old uncle's side, there are eight branches in the uncle's mansion! ]
[Wang is the second wife of the eldest wife, and Cui Shenglin is the third wife of the second wife...]
Lu Xinran An old man on the subway is looking at his phone. How... so messy!
[The eldest and second houses are both legitimate children of the old man's wife, so they have a close relationship. Well, the fifth house is also legitimate, and the remaining houses are all illegitimate children. ]
[Four generations live under one roof. There are hundreds of people in the Bo's Mansion, all of whom are masters. The Bo's Mansion, which was originally quite large, has no place to live. The concubines' children have three generations squeezed into one courtyard.]
[The place is not big to begin with, and these people are keen on taking concubines! ]
Lu Xinran felt that this was a bit offensive to the eyes, and Wang closed her eyes in despair.
It’s over. This girl saw all the dirty things that happened in the Bo’s house.
[As the number of concubines and maids increased, the narrow courtyard could no longer accommodate them. At first, two people lived in one room, and later, three or four people lived in one room.]
【Later, the father's concubine lived with his son, and the concubines of several brothers lived together.】
Everyone gasped, daring not to imagine what the scene would be like.
With so many people, do we have to play so extravagantly?
[Well, although it's a bit chaotic, there's still some basic sense of decency, and the father and his sons will tacitly avoid each other's houses.]
[No one knows whose children the concubines' children are. The illegitimate children of the Bo family are all randomly assigned.]
[Some children were thrown into the manor to be raised as soon as they were born. No one told them their true identity. When they were seven or eight years old, they went back and forth to the mansion to serve the masters.]
