Chapter 262 The son of a mouse can dig holes

All day long, Zhao did not show up, whether going to the streets to watch the army enter the city or attending the palace banquet at night.

Pei's attitude this time was very firm. If she couldn't figure it out, she would just think about it slowly in the yard. She would release him when she figured it out.

As for the marriage of Lu Yuanheng and Lu Xinlan, she, as the mother, could not decide, so it was up to her, as the grandmother, to decide for the two children.

When Zhao learned that they had met Liu in the teahouse today and that Lu Xinlan had a very pleasant conversation with Liu, and that the marriage was very likely to be settled, she suddenly became anxious.

The next morning, he tried his best to have someone send a message to Lu Xinlan, asking her to come to his place.

After Lu Xinlan paid his respects to Mrs. Pei, he came straight to her.

Lu Xinran watched her from afar as she entered the Zhao family's courtyard, found a corner pavilion and sat down, then casually opened Zhao's booklet.

Although she could guess what Zhao was going to do without thinking, she still hoped that she would underestimate Zhao's stupidity.

She didn't care about the mother-daughter relationship with Zhao, but she hoped that Zhao could truly take Lu Xinlan to heart.

Zhao had been feeling a little restless all morning, and when she saw her daughter come in, she immediately went forward and pulled her to her side.

"Did you see Liu on the street yesterday?"

Without any hesitation, Zhao took Lu Xinlan's hand and said again anxiously: "Xinlan, she looked down on us at first. She promised us a marriage but then turned her back on us. You can't marry into a family like this!"

Lu Xinlan looked at her calmly and steadily for a long while, while Zhao's somewhat guilty gaze was moving, he spoke in a low voice.

"Mother, do you really think that the Tang family is not a good family and Madam Tang is not easy to get along with, or are you just holding a grudge against me because of what happened before, and you don't even care about your daughter's marriage just to humiliate Madam Tang?"

"You kid!"

Zhao was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and suddenly jumped three feet high.

"What are you talking about? How can I harm you? Of course I think..."

[She felt that since Liu Shi didn't treat her well, she must make her suffer as much as possible, and not let her get away with it so easily.]

The voice in their hearts suddenly appeared in their ears, and Zhao's face instantly turned ugly.

Lu Xinlan still looked at her calmly as before: "Mom, I want to hear the truth."

"Truthfully, truthfully!"

Zhao was inexplicably angry and smashed the tea set on the table. "Liu didn't give your brother and me any face back then. Can't I make her suffer now?"

Even if you agree to this marriage, you can't let Liu off so easily.

[She really takes it for granted that she has to endure hardships. Doesn’t she love this daughter the most? Is she willing to sacrifice anything for her?]

[Why, now her daughter's marriage is not as important as her face? ]

[Or is it because your brain has been soaked in water and kicked by a donkey, so it is just a pile of garbage and has never been normal? ]

[Her thoughts were simple. She had humiliated Liu to death because of this marriage. Did she ever think about what would happen if Liu vented her dissatisfaction on Lu Xinlan?]

[Can she find another marriage that suits her heart in the capital? Or does she think that after Lu Xinlan marries into the Tang family, Liu will not vent this humiliation on her?]

[Pig brain! No wonder Liu looked down on her. After she found out that she was a fool, she never mentioned the marriage that Tang Wanrou and Lu Yuanheng had verbally agreed upon.]

[I thought she loved her children so much, but now it seems that she only loves herself the most.]

[If she had considered Lu Xinlan a little, she would not have taken the opportunity to cause trouble and put her daughter in a difficult position.]

Her blunt scolding made Zhao's face turn red.

She looked at Lu Xinlan awkwardly and wanted to explain, but she didn't know where to start.

Her thoughts...were all seen by that damn girl Lu Xinran.

"Mother, my daughter needs this marriage, please don't get in the way, okay?"

She couldn't explain, and Lu Xinlan didn't need to, so she just calmly told Liu her thoughts.

"The Tang family has a good family tradition, and the inner house is simple without too many secrets. My daughter thinks this is a good marriage. Mother will definitely help her daughter to get married. Don't you agree?"

Zhao nodded reluctantly, unable to express her unwillingness any more.

She hated Lu Xinran in her heart, but if she continued to hinder him, wouldn't she become the person that the dead girl said didn't know how to think about her children? !

"You think the Tang family is good, then, then it's the Tang family. Tang Chongli has no academic achievements now, and no one can guarantee whether he can pass the imperial examination in the future. Mother is still a little worried."

She stumbled around and found an excuse for herself, finally making herself look less vicious.

Lu Xinlan did not expose her, but only smiled and nodded slightly: "Mr. Tang has a broad mind and is a man of great potential. He will definitely be admitted to a university in the future. Just rest assured, mother."

Since she had said so, Zhao could no longer persuade her and could only look for opportunities for herself.

"Then Xinlan, if you want to get engaged, wouldn't it be inappropriate if your mother can't arrange it for you?"

"Mother, you have never asked about my sister's marriage. I believe that grandmother can also take care of my daughter's marriage."

"So what..."

Zhao was about to refute excitedly, but when he looked up, he saw Lu Xinlan's disapproving look and quickly swallowed the rest of his words.

"Mother, I don't want to ask why grandma is holding you back. I believe you can understand grandma's intentions. My brother's marriage has not been decided yet. You..."

She didn't say anything else, but Zhao already understood.

She felt annoyed again, but seeing her daughter's disapproving look, she swallowed her complaints.

"I, I know. Okay, you go back first. I'll think about it."

Although she didn't want to compromise, they were right. Her precious son still hadn't found a marriage yet. If she didn't find him an engagement, she would become a laughing stock among the various mansions in the capital.

Looking at the constantly updated contents in the booklet, Lu Xinran closed the booklet with disgust.

"Tongzi, how come this body has ended up with such a biological mother?"

He is so confused, he only thinks about himself, he is extremely selfish, this kind of character... is exactly the same as his biological father Zhao Jingtian.

"So you humans have a saying, 'like a dragon gives birth to a dragon, like a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and like a mouse's son, he will dig holes.'"

Lu Xinran burst out laughing. What Tongzi said now is... quite interesting.
