Chapter 162 Divorce Yuan Wanru
In the capital, in front of the mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.
A young woman with a dignified appearance sat in the carriage, opened the curtain, and looked at the magnificent gate of the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion. She felt a sense of emotion in her heart, she was finally back.
The young woman was wearing a brocade dress with a pattern of peony branches and clouds, a fashionable hairpin on her head, and she had put on makeup. She looked elegant and graceful, but her face was pale and she looked unapproachable.
This person is the Lu family’s eldest daughter, Lu Wei.
The man Lu Wei married was Liu Huailing, the eldest son of Mr. Liu, the governor of Anzhou. This marriage was decided before Lu Song was promoted.
At that time, the Lu family was considered to be marrying up, and by the time Lu Wei got married, the status of the Lu family had risen steadily with Lu Song's title, and their family background was even better than that of the Liu family.
Liu Huailing was a gentle and handsome man, and Lu Wei was also satisfied with him. Overall, this marriage was a good match.
Anzhou is not very close to the capital. The last time Lu Wei returned to Beijing was three years ago.
"Sister-in-law, are we there yet?"
In the carriage, a young girl in a light yellow dress asked Lu Wei in a coquettish tone.
The girl has a good-looking appearance and fair skin, but her facial features are not outstanding. She can only be considered a pretty lady.
When she smiled, she had a pair of dimples, which made her look more beautiful.
Lu Wei glanced at her and then ordered her followers: "Go and announce that I'm back."
In Rongshou Hall, Madam Lu looked at Lu Wei lovingly, with a look of joy on her face: "I received your letter a while ago, and I thought you should be back by now. Are you tired from the journey?"
Old Madam Lu loves Lu Wei very much. The two of them get along well with each other, and she really cares about Lu Wei.
Wang Min was also concerned when she saw her daughter. "Why didn't you send someone to tell her in advance? Your father doesn't know you'll be home today. I've sent someone to tell him, but I'm in a hurry and I don't know if he can arrange time to come home to see you today."
Lu Wei was a little excited when she thought of her father whom she had not seen for many years. "Dad is in Beijing now. I originally planned to stay at home for a few months. I don't worry about not having the opportunity to see him."
Speaking of her father, she asked, "Where's Jiang Nian? Will he come back at night?"
Madam Lu's expression became much lighter, while Wang Min said calmly, "Unfortunately, he accompanied Wanru back to her hometown. Judging from the time, he may be back soon."
After hearing this, Lu Wei's face didn't look very good.
However, there were many people in Rongshou Hall, so she didn't say anything else.
Liang Yusong stared at her expression, and all the subtle changes in Lu Wei's expression fell into her eyes.
It seems that Lu Wei really doesn't like Yuan Wanru.
"Sister Lu, I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still as radiant as ever."
When Liang Yusong was young, Lu Wei spent some time with her and she had a good impression of her.
"Yeah, I didn't expect to see you again when I came back this time."
"You looked cute when you were little, and now you've grown up and become even more beautiful. I wonder who will be lucky enough to win your favor in the future."
Liang Yusong lowered her head in embarrassment: "Sister Lu makes fun of people as soon as we meet."
"Madam, you can't be partial to my sister. She bullies me like this. You have to help me control her mouth."
During this period, Liang Yusong became more attentive to Madam Lu, and Madam Lu's liking for her grew day by day. She treated Liang Yusong almost the same as she treated the Cao sisters.
"She's right. I thought so too. Unfortunately, I don't have this blessing."
Wang Min chuckled: "Old Madam, please don't say that. Is Jiang Xun a bad kid?"
The implication is that if Madam Lu wants this blessing, she can just match Lu Jiangxun and Liang Yusong.
At this time, the Lu family had not yet split up, and Lu Jiangxun was still the legitimate son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. He and Liang Yusong were considered a good match.
"Second sister-in-law, Jiang Xun is not young anymore. You should worry about his affairs. Let me tell you, if you can marry a daughter-in-law with excellent character, you will have much less worries as a mother-in-law."
"As for me, everything will be fine if I have Wanru as my daughter-in-law."
"Madam, second brother and sister-in-law, what do you say?"
These words made everyone not know how to respond.
Liang Yusong lowered her head, her eyes filled with gloom.
Doesn't this woman's words and actions imply that she looks down on her?
Lu Jiangxun only has a reputation for being a good student, but he is far inferior to Lu Bai and Lu Song. She is the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Weiguo. Is Lu Jiangxun worthy of her?
Madam Lu said calmly, "Jiang Xun will take the imperial examination next year. This is a critical moment. Let's talk about marriage later."
Zhou Fang echoed, "Yeah, I'm not in a hurry."
Lu Wei was displeased when she heard Wang Min defending Yuan Wanru.
That orphan girl actually became her younger brother's sister, and the one who married her was her most proud younger brother, not the ones born out of wedlock.
My parents are so kind that they even sacrificed their only son for the sake of saving his life.
If Lu Jiangnian had not been in such a hurry to get married, she would have tried every means to stop this ridiculous marriage.
However, these words can only be said to my mother in private.
She changed the subject: "Last time my mother wrote to me and told me that when my grandmother returned to Beijing from Xu County, it was thanks to Yusong's help in treatment. I didn't expect that you have such ability at such a young age. It's really admirable."
When Cao Lanxin heard these words, she snorted in her heart, thinking, "What admiration is there?"
She is just a fool who is not in her right mind and wants to be a concubine.
What's more, her eldest cousin doesn't even think highly of her. Whenever Cao Lanxin thinks of this, she has a strange sense of superiority.
So what if he was born into a noble family? Such a brainless person will only lead a mess of life.
As for this older cousin, she was too lazy to get close to her.
Many years have passed, but she still remembers her cousin's contemptuous attitude and disdainful look when she first met her cousin.
In the eyes of my eldest cousin, the people of the Cao family are like servants who are not worthy of being on the stage.
She also saw the subtle expression on Lu Wei's face when Yuan Wanru was mentioned just now.
It is very normal that the eldest cousin, who thinks highly of herself, does not like Yuan Wanru, an orphan girl.
However, after that period of time of fighting with Yuan Wanru, Cao Lanxin has realized how difficult Yuan Wanru is to deal with.
Now, she was looking forward to Yuan Wanru's quick return, as she always felt that Yuan Wanru had a greater chance of winning against Lu Wei.
Cao Lanxin wants to see Lu Wei suffer a setback.
That night, Lu Song really didn't make it back in time for dinner.
There was no one else in the room, so Lu Wei spoke her true feelings to Wang Min.
"Mother, what are you thinking? How can you let Yuan Wanru become the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lu family?"
"Jiang Nian is a young hero. He holds a high position at a young age and is highly regarded by the emperor. He is Princess Shang, and she is the master of all trades."
"You actually let him marry an orphan girl who has no help."
Wang Min frowned and wanted to say something, but Lu Wei didn't give her a chance: "In my opinion, while we don't have a child yet, you might as well divorce her and find a good wife for Jiang Nian."
After Lu Wei finished speaking, Wang Min looked at her in disbelief: "What did you say!"
