Chapter 9: Eating melons in person is fun

When Lu Xinran saw that Lu Xinlan had a headache, Lu Xinlan couldn't help but have a headache when he heard his inner voice.

She tried so hard to defend her in front of Lu Kant that day, and she thought that he would have a conscience and remember it, but the result was... he was just an ungrateful little wolf!

She had the memory of her original self, and she bowed respectfully to the people as she entered the room.

When Zhao saw her, she immediately felt like she had seen a savior.

It is her daughter who has been raised by her since she was a child who looks like a lady from a wealthy family.

"Come, come sit here with me."

Lu Xinran continued to roll his eyes, [You are sick in the brain! ]

As the complaints came, Lu Xinlan looked up at Pei with a smile, and saw that Pei also had a headache behind her smile.

Lu Xinran was afraid that Zhao would continue to make trouble, so he looked at Pei eagerly.

Lu Xinlan walked up to her and bowed, "Grandma, my sister has just arrived in the capital, and I want to take her to the streets to have a look. Today is a good day, so why not take advantage of it?"

Pei nodded and said, "Go ahead. If you want to go out in the future, you don't have to come and tell an old woman like me. Just send someone to tell them."

She said this in a very magnanimous way, and Lu Xinran smiled brightly upon hearing it, while Lu Xinlan beside her frowned slightly.

She always had a feeling that this 'fellow countryman' would be like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins once he left the Shangshu Mansion!

The two sisters left Zhaoyun Courtyard. Lu Xinlan looked at Lu Xinran's outfit and asked, "Sister, do you want to go back to your room to change clothes?"

Lu Xinran shook her head. She was not going to meet her lover, so there was no need to go through the trouble of dressing up.

[Eat the melon quickly, eat the melon quickly, why is she so nagging! No, I have to find a way to get rid of her, so as not to delay my eating of the melon. ]

Lu Xinlan: “…”

This was the first time in her past and present life that she was so unpopular!

As he got on the carriage leaving the house, Lu Xinran suddenly became as happy as a bird in the sky.

She wanted to find a crowded place to eat melons. Lu Xinlan listened to her thoughts silently, and then told the driver to drive the carriage to the most lively teahouse in the capital.

Shenghelou is located on Zhuque Street, the busiest street in the capital. The street is extremely wide, but ten carriages can pass by at the same time.

The street was bustling with people. Lu Xinran got off the car with his mouth slightly open. He had not expected this place to be so lively.

She was so excited that she wanted to share her joy with the people around her, but when she turned her head and saw Lu Xinlan's calm profile, all the words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat.

[Why am I being stupid again? This is the heroine, the scheming heroine who wants to kill me. The heroine who is the legitimate eldest daughter of the Lu family must not forget this again! ]

Lu Xinlan followed her, listening to her mumblings, and came to the private room on the second floor with an expressionless face.

[No, I went out to eat melons. How can I eat melons when I enter the private room and there is no one to be seen?]

A thought flashed through his mind, and Lu Xinlan quickly grabbed Lu Xinran's arm.

"I just saw Madam Zhou and several other ladies in the next room. I'll take you to greet them later."

"Mrs. Zhou?"

[It’s not that Fang Suxin! ]

Lu Xinlan nodded: "He is my mother's acquaintance. Our two families have been in contact for many years. Whenever we meet here, we always go over to say hello."

Lu Xinran was flipping through the booklet given by the system, and he couldn't wait.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go now."

As she spoke, she dragged people out. Bitao tried to step forward several times but was blocked by Cuizhu intentionally or unintentionally.

"What are you doing! Cuizhu, if you want to treat her as your real master, that's your business. I don't want to bother with you, but you should also stay out of my business."

Seeing that the two of them had disappeared into the house, Bitao couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Cuizhu calmly straightened her clothes and said, "Real master? How many masters do you think you can have in a young lady's yard? Don't blame me for not reminding you that few servants who betray their masters will have a good ending."

"you!"

"What are you talking about? Hurry up and serve the master. Don't just do stupid things."

Cuizhu said this and walked out, leaving Bitao alone in the room stamping her feet in frustration.

Lu Xinran stood in front of the door of the private room where Fang Suxin and others were staying. He felt a little excited but more complicated.

She was not her original self, so she did not have a deep hatred for the person who maliciously switched them.

But a person who can hold the Zhao family in his palm is undoubtedly very scheming.

[I don’t know who is more powerful between the heroine and her. 】

The heroine in her mind had the maid knock on the door without any expression. "Wait a minute, stand next to me. No need to say anything, just recognize me."

"good."

[Okay, okay, that's great. It's inconvenient to eat melons without knowing them! ]

Lu Xinran looked at the person next to her excitedly, and always felt that he and her had a better and better understanding of each other.

Lu Xinlan just smiled and tilted his head to glance at her, keeping his achievements and fame to himself.

Fang Suxin was invited by a friend today to come here to meet the wife of the Dali Temple Minister.

Before she got married, she always compared herself with Zhao. When Zhao married into the Lu family, her father-in-law was a minister at that time and now a minister. So she took great pains to marry into the Zhou family, where her father-in-law was the second-rank Zuo Du Yu Shi, who held a position equivalent to Lu Jinchuan.

Afterwards, Lu Kangde entered the Ministry of Revenue, and her father Zhou Bingshan also entered the Ministry of Revenue.

Only Zhou Bingshan was better at maneuvering than Lu Kangde. When he was promoted two years ago, Zhou Binshan was promoted to the fifth rank of Langzhong of the Ministry of Revenue, while Lu Kangde was still an ordinary person in charge.

Lu Xinran was flipping through the intelligence system, clicking his tongue in his heart as he read.

[It's not that Zhou Bingshan is good at playing tricks here, it's obviously Fang Suxin who is more open-minded! ]

A voice in his heart exploded in the ears of everyone inside and outside the door, and the moment he opened the door, Lu Xinlan saw the expression suddenly tighten.

Lu Xinran was still addicted to gossiping, [Is Fang Suxin's husband really so incompetent that he can't notice that she's having fun outside? ]

Lu Xinlan immediately pulled her wrist, interrupting her thoughts.

"Sister, come and meet Madam Zhou, Madam Meng, Madam Wang, and Madam Tang."

Lu Xinran looked at the ladies following her voice.

[Um, Madam Tang, the wife of Dali Temple Minister Tang Quyan? Why is she here?]

A questioning voice rang in Liu's ears. She immediately looked around calmly, and then she heard the voice she had just heard, greeting her with a silly smile.

"Lu Xinran has met several ladies."

Several people looked at each other and instantly saw the same meaning in each other's eyes.

They could all hear this strange sound.

They withdrew their attention from Lu Xinran and glanced at Fang Suxin tacitly, wanting to know what the reckless and playful voice just now meant.

Fang Suxin dug her nails into the flesh and looked at Lu Xinran with a wary look.

It was this lowly bastard who ruined a lot of her good things as soon as he returned to the capital.

Her eyes were unfriendly, but the smile on her face was as gentle as ever.

"Xinlan, who is this sister of yours? Why haven't I seen her in your house before?"

[Why are you pretending? You know exactly who I am. How did you know who I am when I condescended to seduce Nanny Qin's man?]

The three Liu clan members: “?!!”

What kind of secret is this? Fang Suxin...even goes to hook up with the servants?
