Chapter 174 She Likes Ruthless People
Nanny Pang brought people and distributed the things they brought back from Nanjiang County to various places.
Just as Lu Jiangnian expected, no one dared to raise any opinions.
Lu Jiangnian went to the palace to meet the emperor early in the morning. Wang Min called Yuan Wanru over and talked about Lu Yun's marriage.
"During this period, I took the time to meet with Madam Wan. The Wan family has a good reputation. Wan Bin's child is handsome and well-mannered, and he is a good match for Lu Yun."
"I'll find an opportunity in the next few days and take you and Lu Yun to meet Wan Bin."
Lu Yun is fifteen this year, and it’s time for her to get married.
Speaking of which, Lu Song's two concubines are not people with strange minds. They just do their duty, and she doesn't mind being nicer to the children.
Since the child has called her mother since childhood, she just does more for a clear conscience.
Yuan Wanru couldn't help but sigh, Wang Min is really an open-minded person, but for some reason, Lu Wei doesn't look like her at all, maybe it's inherited from the previous generation, Lu Wei has inherited the character of Old Madam Lu.
"Okay, I don't have any problems on my end. Mother has set a date, just give her instructions."
After finishing the serious business, Wang Min hesitated for a moment, but still spoke up to persuade.
"Yesterday, Wei'er offended you. Mother knows that you didn't take it too seriously because of our friendship."
"Because of the child's matter, she has been obsessed with it for years. Many things don't make sense to her."
With a long sigh, she looked at Yuan Wanru lovingly and said, "I may have to wrong you during this period. Before she leaves the capital, you don't need to come to Wangchun Hall every day. If there is anything, I will call you and you can come, so you don't have to see her face."
"Wanru, I don't dislike you. I just don't want you to feel bad for each other. Do you understand?"
Yuan Wanru nodded: "I understand, my husband also told me so, mother, don't worry, I have no other thoughts except gratitude for your thoughtful consideration for me."
"That's good."
Wang Min smiled with relief and patted her hands.
Well, I just hope that Doctor Gao can cure Lu Wei and give birth to a child, then maybe she won’t be so stubborn anymore.
-
After returning to Lingshuiju, not long after, Lu Yun and the others came to express their gratitude.
To Yuan Wanru's surprise, the Cao sisters also came.
Cao Lanxin looked sincere as she handed over a brocade box. "My eldest cousin's wife in Nanjiang County was still thinking of bringing us gifts, so we can't be ignorant. This is the tea that our family sent us a while ago. Please accept it."
Yuan Wanru looked at her with a smile, and opened the brocade box in front of everyone.
"Originally, this action is inappropriate, but my cousin has a history of giving the wrong gift, so I have to be careful not to cause another incident like the red gold hairpin. I am just in case, Miss Cao won't mind, right?"
The smile on Cao Lanxin's face froze for a moment, then bloomed again.
"What happened before was all our fault for not doing our job well and causing trouble for my cousin's wife. We must be careful in the future and will never make mistakes again."
Cao Lanzhi finally confirmed that her third sister really treated her eldest cousin's wife differently.
Lu Rong said angrily, "This is a good thing, why didn't my cousin give us some? My sister-in-law just came back and you guys are rushing to give it to us. It's too obvious that you're trying to curry favor with her."
Cao Lanxin could tolerate Yuan Wanru's sharp words because it was profitable and she had something to ask for.
Who the hell is Lu Rong? There is no need for her to tolerate Lu Rong.
"This thing is expensive. I don't have a mountain of gold and silver. Can I give it away on the street?"
"My eldest cousin's wife is the elder and I am the younger. I am respectful in everything. I observe etiquette."
"My cousin is from a marquisate, so don't be so greedy. Why, do you want to take all the good things you find? Unfortunately, you don't have the ability to do so."
These words made Lu Rong furious. She stood up and glared at him, "It's not your turn to comment on me."
"You are rich, but so what? You are just a merchant's daughter, living in our house, living under someone else's roof, and you don't know how to restrain yourself. You even dare to look down on the girls of the Lu family. Second sister, are you just going to watch her humiliate me like this?"
Lu Yun didn't understand why the fire had fallen on her.
However, she also looked down upon Lu Rong's greedy look.
Shameful.
"Fourth sister, since you know that your cousin is a guest, you should treat her with courtesy. What are you going to do now?"
"The Cao family was able to send tea from afar, so this thing must be very valuable. My cousin gave it to my eldest sister-in-law, which shows that she is sensible."
"We are young and don't like to drink tea. It's really unnecessary to give it to us. My third sister and I don't have any tea. Do we have any complaints?"
"You dare to look down on the Cao family's status, don't you look down on my grandmother?"
Lu Rong was speechless after being blocked by Lu Yun. She looked at everyone in the room and left angrily.
Cao Lanxin sighed: "It's all my fault."
"Second cousin, you don't know that this thing was specially found by my father, and there are only so many of them. My great aunt doesn't like to drink tea, so this tea was not originally prepared for her. My father wanted me to give it to a noble person to open up some connections."
"I am just a merchant girl. How could a noble man in the capital, high and mighty, look down upon me?"
"I can't give it away anyway, so I might as well give it to my eldest cousin's wife. I heard that my eldest cousin's wife loves to drink tea. She is the wife of the prince, so how can she not be considered a noble person?"
"This way, my father's kindness won't be in vain."
She turned to look at Yuan Wanru: "If cousin-in-law thinks it tastes good, I can ask dad to find another one. Fourth cousin is right. We in the Cao family are just merchants. We have nothing but money."
Yuan Wanru raised her eyebrows.
It turns out that this tea was Cao Lanxin’s stepping stone.
Does this mean she surrenders?
Cao Lanxin hopes that she can help them find a rich husband?
This is a good calculation.
The Cao family is rich, so the money to thank the matchmaker will certainly not be small. This is exactly what Cao Lanxin meant in her words.
This coincided with her plan.
Liang Yusong's brother will return to Beijing at the end of the year. She should try to matchmake Cao Lanxin with someone before the end of the year. It would be best if she gets married off before the New Year to avoid any trouble.
Anyway, the Cao family's purse will never fall into the hands of the Liang family in this lifetime.
"Don't say that, cousin. I am a vulgar person who likes money."
"I'll take this tea. Don't worry, if I want to drink it again in the future, I will definitely come to you."
When Cao Lanxin heard her name, she felt more at ease.
Just now, Yuan Wanru called her "Miss Cao", but now she changed her words, which meant she agreed to her request.
As long as Yuan Wanru can really help them find a good marriage in the capital, it would be worth it even if she offered 100,000 taels.
A while ago, she hinted and asked her great aunt to help them arrange a marriage, but her great aunt hesitated.
She inquired privately and found out that it was Liang Yusong who persuaded her great-aunt to stay.
Bitch!
What does their marriage have to do with her surname Liang?
Since her great-aunt was unreliable, she would use silver to pave the way.
Doesn’t Yuan Wanru like money?
The Cao family has plenty of money.
To be honest, she didn't know why, but after Yuan Wanru used rats to deal with Liang Yusong last time, she inexplicably felt closer to and more respectful of Yuan Wanru.
Cao Lanxin likes ruthless people.
