Chapter 398: Testing the Waters



"Then I'll stay one more night."

Su Ningjie thought it made sense. The better his grandfather's health was, the more years he could accompany him.

"Brother Jie, your mother is waiting for you at home. We can't change our promises at will. We can't break our promises. Your mother should hope that you are a child who keeps your word..."

Su Ningjie nodded. "Second sister, you are right. Mother doesn't like children who don't keep their promises, but Grandfather..."

Lu Yao said, "With me and your foster brother, Brother Kun, accompanying Grandfather, we will definitely be able to make him happy. It's getting late, let Su Yunweiying escort you back."

"good!"

Seeing that Lu Yao changed Su Ningjie's mind with just a few words, Lu Zeyi was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

"Brother Jie, your grandfather prefers you to accompany him."

"Second Brother," Lu Shiyuan came over and said, "You don't need to say more. I can't let my grandson be someone who doesn't keep his word. Our Lu family relies on integrity to do business in Huayang County."

Lu Shiyuan looked at Su Ningjie and said, "Go back quickly and have the people at Haoyue Bookstore prepare a three-meter-long and two-meter-high silk cloth. I'll let your elder brother paint here in a few days."

Lu Yao's beautiful eyes lit up slightly, "We need to prepare more drawing paper, your eldest brother wants to draw us all on it."

Lu Han, damn! Lu Han Kun was extremely curious when he heard this. The eldest son of the Su family, who loves to eat, could actually paint!

Lu Han tentatively asked, "Can your elder brother paint?"

Su Ningjie nodded repeatedly and said with great pride: "Of course, it was all taught by my mother. My eldest brother paints very well. He will be very famous in a few years. Then you will be able to see his paintings."

Lu Hangan and Lu Hankun exchanged a glance after hearing this and said, "Then we'll come over in four or five days to watch your brother paint."

Su Ningjie smiled and said, "Okay, it's getting late. I have to go back now. I'll leave my grandfather in your care."

Su Ningjie lingered in Lu Shiyuan's arms for a long time before reluctantly leaving.

Lu Zeyi looked at the carriage going away with a gloomy look in his eyes.

Forget it, Lu Yao is still here.

Lu Yao had been keeping an eye on Lu Zeyi from a distance, and felt more and more that he was up to something.

"Come on, Nuanyu, come with me for a walk."

Lu Yao stopped in the red leaf forest two hundred meters away from the hot spring villa.

"Nuanyu, later, avoid the sight of my second and fourth uncles and arrange for someone to go back to the city to find my eldest brother-in-law, and ask him to send a few more skilled people over."

"good!"

Afterwards, Lu Yao returned to the hot spring villa and asked Chen to accompany Lu Shiyuan to talk.

Half an incense stick later, Nuanyu whispered a few words in Lu Yao's ear...

There is no doubt that my sister was worried, so she asked her brother-in-law to send someone to protect me secretly.

Alas! She still made her sister worry about this matter.

She needs to grow up quickly and not let her sister worry about everything.

"Second brother, the Su family will come here with grandfather in four or five days."

Bang!

Lu Zeyi cast his rod and pulled a carp weighing two kilograms out of the river. "Let's test our father's reaction tonight to see if he wants to split us up."

Lu Zeyi glanced at Lu Zexu, who was leaning over to fish not far away, and whispered, "The Su family is coming to Shili Langyao in four or five days, so let our father stay here and wait for them. In the meantime, find an excuse to send my third brother and his wife back to the city."

"What about Lu Yao?"

Lu Zeyi pursed his lips and said, "Of course I want to stay."

On the way back to the city, Meng Wei thought about Master Ci'en's words and felt increasingly uneasy.

He asked his daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law to return to the Meng Mansion first, and took Meng Zilu and his son to the Song family.

"Grandpa, your grandson misses you."

As soon as Meng Yunqian entered the yard, he threw himself into Song Yaohui's arms.

Song Yaohui held him in his arms with a loving look on his face, "Grandpa misses you too, my dear grandson."

Turning to look at Wei Mengshi, Meng Fulu, "Aunt, Zilu, why did you decide to come here today?"

Ever since Xiao Song passed away, Song's parents were worried that Meng Zilu would marry a second wife who would treat Meng Yunqian harshly. In the past two years, they went to the Meng Mansion almost every day under the pretext of missing their grandson.

Seeing that Meng Zilu had no intention of remarrying and was still in love with their daughter, the Song family's parents were also very fond of Meng Yunqian, so they even gave up taking the imperial examination.

The old couple couldn't bear to see him go on like this. Only when Meng Zilu's future improved would Meng Yunqian have a future.

Meng Zilu also needs a woman to take care of the lives of him and his son.

The Song family's parents have hardly visited the Meng residence in the past two years, so they naturally wouldn't stop them from remarrying.

They suddenly visited today. Could it be that they were here to tell me that Meng Zilu was going to remarry?

"Master Song, the child misses you two, so I brought him to see you."

Song Yaohui: "Since you're here, how about staying here for dinner tonight?"

Meng Wei came here today with a purpose, to find out whether there are any criminals in the Song family.

After all, the Song family is Yunqian's maternal family, and she doesn't want anything to happen to the Song family.

"Okay, since it's rare for you to come out of the house, we'll stay for dinner."

Soon, Mrs. Song rushed to the front hall after hearing the news and took Wei Meng to the back garden.

"Aunt." Madam Song sent someone to bring a bowl of health tea. "Zi Lu didn't take the exam this year. This is not good. We can't let his future be affected. We should remarry him as soon as possible. He still needs someone who understands his well-being and cares for him."

Mrs. Meng Wei nodded: "I do have this idea, but it depends on Zilu's opinion. As a grandmother, I can't force him."

Mrs. Song frowned slightly, "But if he doesn't take the imperial examination, isn't that a waste of his best years?"

Meng Wei said, "Don't worry. Zilu promised me that he would take part in the next provincial examination. He also has to consider Yunqian."
