Chapter 364 Whoever gets slapped in the face will feel pain

The emperor was still unconscious, and the two of them walked out of Changchun Palace smoothly.

Lu Xinran has always been very courageous. While the emperor was still unconscious, she divided the affairs of the court among several powerful officials. She directly instructed the coachman to go straight to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Zhang Shuier has been detained at home for some time and cannot go anywhere.

The news that Lu Xinlan wanted to divorce reached the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion almost immediately. Because of her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Qiu didn't want to mention it any more.

So every time Zhang Shuier shouted that she wanted to go out, she was stopped by her.

Tang Wanrou had been so embarrassed these days that she didn't even want to go out of her room. When she thought of the things that happened to her about Liu, she was so ashamed that she couldn't even raise her head even though she was already a married woman.

She resented Lu Xinlan in her heart, and she hated Lu Xinran even more for being so outspoken and not caring about the reputation of Liu, who was also a woman.

Liu didn't dare to go out, how could she dare to leave the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Whenever she thought of people criticizing her behind her back, discussing whether she was like Liu and had learned how to serve men from the madam, she wanted to bang her head against the beam and die.

Mrs. Qiu has been in a very complicated mood recently. Originally, she was very satisfied with her daughter-in-law Tang Wanrou.

But with those rumors, she always felt that this daughter-in-law was not as pure and clear as she seemed.

A daughter raised by a mother like that...is probably the same as her.

Unfortunately, the son was very satisfied with his wife, and coincidentally he had gone to the border at the beginning of the year and would not be back until next month.

I wonder if he will feel resentful when he hears these rumors after returning.

Thinking of this, Qiu began to feel somewhat dissatisfied with the Lu sisters.

If Lu Xinlan hadn't been arguing about the divorce, and if Lu Xinran hadn't been voicing his concerns outside Qingxin Palace, wouldn't they have encountered all these troubles in their mansion?

"lady."

A servant came in hurriedly and whispered something in her ear.

Just as Qiu was beginning to feel discontent with the Lu sisters, she heard from the servants that they were seeking a meeting outside the mansion.

She wanted to turn this person away, but things were different now, and she couldn't afford to neglect Lu Xinran's current status as a princess.

So no matter how annoyed she was, she still told the servants to quickly welcome the person to the house, and then she got up, changed her clothes and prepared to go to the old lady's yard.

When Zhang Shui'er heard that they had come to the Duke's Mansion, she was so excited that she lifted her skirt and ran to the old lady's room.

She was too lazy to care about those rumors and would not be bothered by them.

She only knew that she was going crazy from being trapped inside. She was going insane from facing the servants in the house every day.

As soon as I ran to the gate of the old lady's courtyard, I saw two figures walking side by side from afar.

She held up her skirt and ran towards the two again: "You are so mean. You didn't miss me after not seeing me for such a long time."

She can't go out, so why don't these two guys come and see her?

Lu Xinran rolled his eyes at her speechlessly, "I don't want to be turned away and become a laughing stock."

"Who dares to stop you outside the door? Don't talk nonsense."

Zhang Shui'er walked up to her and hugged her arms unwillingly. Lu Xinran just smiled and said nothing, but his eyes were fixed on Qiu who was walking towards him.

Qiu pretended not to hear their conversation, walked forward and exchanged a few words, and then the group was led into the private room.

They arrived at an inopportune time, as the old lady had just finished her lunch break. Older people hate being woken up from their sleep, so even though Lu Xinran was a princess, she could only wait here for her to wake up.

Qiu looked at the two smiling sisters and felt a little awkward.

Tang Wanrou has been claiming to be ill these days and dares not to see anyone in the mansion. As her mother-in-law, she feels both distressed and concerned.

I always feel that this peaceful day has been disrupted by the two people in front of me.

[Why is Qiu looking at me like that? Don't you think it's embarrassing to have such a relative? 】

[However, Liu is indeed not presentable, so it is reasonable for her to dislike it. ]

Qiu's inner thoughts almost made him spit out the tea in his mouth.

Can't this guy see what she's thinking through the system? !

Is it Liu that she dislikes?

Forget it, Liu also dislikes it.

But that kind of thing is a private affair between the wives. Whatever the couple does is their own business and has nothing to do with outsiders like them.

She exposed other people's concubines' secrets, making it so that Liu and Tang Wanrou cannot see anyone from now on. Is that right?

Lu Xinran flipped through her booklet and snorted inwardly at these thoughts.

[No one else can tell what she wants to do. I used to be too lazy to read these and would just flip through them quickly.]

【But she cannot be hypocritical and use extreme standards to demand others. 】

[Qiu was so unhappy and felt sorry for Liu, but it was only because Tang Wanrou was in their house. If Tang Wanrou was the daughter-in-law of someone else's house, she would probably enjoy watching this excitement more than anyone else.]

Qiu, whose thoughts were guessed, coughed lightly. This kind of thing is no different from a slap in the face, whoever gets it will feel the pain.

Zhang Shui'er had lost her previous excitement. She looked at Qiu, who seemed a little uncomfortable, and then at Lu Xinlan, who had kept his head slightly lowered since he entered the room, and a sense of melancholy gradually arose in her heart.

"Madam, the old lady has woken up."

"Okay, got it."

The servant's voice rescued Qiu from her awkwardness, and she immediately got up and left the room first.

Zhang Shui'er stood beside Lu Xinran with her head hung, humming.

"My mother, ah, my mother has had a hard time these days."

A woman's reputation is so important. What should I do in the future?

Lu Xinran smiled, patted her on the shoulder and walked out of the room.

Yes, a woman's reputation is so important that it is not impossible to maintain. Who would be willing to be criticized by the outcasts?

When they felt frustrated and helpless about Tang Wanrou, who truly understood Lu Xinlan?

In the main room, Old Lady Zhang was sitting on a couch, letting the servants help her put on her headband. When she saw them coming in, she smiled and said, "Sit down, don't be so polite, let's sit down and have a good talk."

The series of thoughts just now woke her up from her light sleep.

Unlike Mrs. Qiu, who was still entangled in trivial matters such as the reputation of a woman, she immediately thought of their purpose when she heard the servants say that they came from the palace.

The two sisters performed the evening greetings very politely before sitting down.

As Lu Xinran watched more and more people gather in the room, his Heart Voice Dafa was immediately activated.

[How can I have a few words with the old lady alone? How long do I have to wait with so many people around? ]

Qiu and others: "..."

It seems they came here specially to show off their extra resources.

The old lady chatted with them for a long time with amusement, and then signaled Qiu and the others to leave first.

Zhang Shui'er looked back every few steps as she walked. What was being hidden from her?

"Tell me, little girl, when you left the palace, did you bring a message for my granddaughter?"
