If it was any other Lu family member, it would be fine, giving him a position as the main wife in exchange for a reputation of being trustworthy, but Lu Zhinian is Lu Chongyuan's most promising grandson and the most outstanding son of this generation of the Lu family.
He made it clear that he would take over the Lu family in the future, and his wife represented the face of the Lu family.
The Lu family is not an ordinary powerful family. Given the tyranny of aristocratic families, they will never swallow their anger and accept this marriage for the sake of a good reputation.
"Xiao Yan" said directly: "Go check, that Song family girl..."
He paused, and Canglang beside him quickly said, "Call me Song Tangning."
Xiao Yan was stunned. Tang Ning? He didn't know what he was thinking about. He looked dazed for a moment, then his expression returned to indifference. "Find out where Lu Zhinian was and what he was doing when Song Tang Ning got into trouble."
"Master, do you suspect that the Song family girl's accident is related to the Lu family?"
"Xiao Yan" said "hmm" lightly.
Even if the Lu and Song families have an engagement, Lu Zhinian would never marry a disfigured person with his status. The Lu family can easily use the excuse that Song Tangning is disabled to postpone the marriage. Even if people say a few words about it, the Lu family will still get a piece of the pie.
But now they are willing to swallow their anger and continue with the engagement, unless the Lu family has done something wrong to Song Tangning and someone finds a weakness in them.
Xiao Yan stood aside, watching "him" in this life realize something was wrong and order Canglang to investigate. He felt a bit of anticipation in his heart, hoping that "he" would notice that the Song family was concealing something, hoping that "he" would discover Tang Ning's identity and protect his little Haitang.
However, Canglang found out that Tang Ning's accident was related to Lu Zhinian and Song Jinxiu, but "Xiao Yan" just used this matter as a bargaining chip to deal with the Lu family and the Queen, and used it to destroy the reputation of Lu Zhinian and Song Jinxiu. He made this matter known to everyone and the Lu and Song families were in chaos, but he never asked about Tang Ning's situation.
In his eyes, the girl from the Song family was just a stranger.
Xiao Yan was trapped next to "him". He saw that he could have discovered Tang Ning by just asking half a question. He was filled with anger when he saw that he always missed the truth. He screamed countless times, but no one could hear his voice.
He could only watch helplessly as the "Xiao Yan" of this life became increasingly indifferent, watched "him" kill fiercely in the court and his disputes with the aristocratic families became increasingly fierce, watched "him" meet Song Shulan holding a dragon-patterned pendant, and treat her as the daughter of his benefactor and casually said a word of care to her, and the concubine then called her "his" sister.
Song Shulan is overly greedy, and her weak appearance cannot hide the ambition in her eyes. She cannot hide her affair with Lu Zhinian from "Xiao Yan", who realizes something is wrong after only spending a few times with her and treats her coldly.
But Song Shulan has what he wants, and he also realizes that the Song and Lu families are colluding in private and are only one step away from finding evidence of the Lu family's crimes. He does not want to cause trouble, so he allows his sister Song Shulan to show off outside. Although he is not familiar with her, he never denies it when others ask him about it.
Xiao Yan watched himself "indulge" Song Shulan in this life, and saw outsiders looking up to the concubine's daughter because of this. "He" was only concerned with dealing with the aristocratic families to clear his father's name, and was only concerned with planning the affairs of the court.
Every time "he" got closer to the target, Xiao Yan's heart trembled a little.
Until the news of the death of Princess Cheng came, "Xiao Yan" took this opportunity to discover the affair between Prince Cheng and Queen Lu. The Song family suddenly changed the marriage with the Lu family because the second daughter of the Song family was seriously injured and died. She was adopted by the second wife of the Song family and became the legitimate daughter of Song Shulan. Things went towards the foreseeable ending.
On the day of Song Shulan's wedding, "he" in this life set foot in the Duke of Song's Mansion for the first time.
Xiao Yan followed beside him and saw Song Shulan dressed in gorgeous clothes, the Song family members in gorgeous clothes, and even the high-spirited Lu Zhinian, but Tang Ning was the only one missing.
Just as they passed through the hanging flower gate, a girl with disheveled hair and a disheveled body rushed out and was pressed to the ground. She raised her head and wanted to cry out, but someone hurriedly covered her mouth.
