Lu Xian's mouth was dry: "..."
He frowned, "You and my third brother disturbed the possibility of Prince Zhao getting rich in the last battle of Nanyang. You also offended His Majesty because of the imperial edict. If possible, they may find an excuse to frame you... Young Master, you must be careful."
Liu Chu and Lu Yun exchanged glances, thinking: "...Hmm."
Lu Xian: “…”
What's wrong with this King Chen? I thought he was quiet and cold only to outsiders, but why did Liu Chu still keep silent even in private?
Lu Xian gave up and said, "I wonder what you two think of the current situation?"
Liu Chu seemed to be thinking, his eyelashes were thick and long, as gorgeous as a girl's. But he didn't speak, Lu Sanlang stared at Lu Erlang's increasingly stiff eyes, smiled slightly, knocked on the table with his knuckles and said a few words: "The disaster of Jianye refugees is unavoidable. Previously, King Chen sent people to visit major temples and Taoist temples in the folk to register the information of those refugees. It was found that some of them did not match the information. Among them, the refugees rescued by Madam Chen in the Chen Mansion had the most problems. Before, we only investigated secretly, but now there are a few things that are not right, it is best to start directly from Madam Chen."
Lu Yun held his forehead and said, "The only problem is that the Chen family is not in Jianye. The only owner of the Chen family in Jianye is Madam Chen. The army has surrounded the Chen Mansion without hesitation, which is bound to be suspected of bullying the weak and arouse dissatisfaction. Other noble families will also intervene for their own sake."
At first, Lu Xian didn't understand what Lu Yun was worried about. After Lu Yun finished speaking vaguely, he suddenly remembered: "...the lady Chen you are talking about, could it be Chen Xiu, the daughter of Chen Daru who has been pursuing you for many years?"
Lu Yun did not comment.
Lu Xian exclaimed "Ah", and immediately understood Lu Yun's dilemma. Lu Yun always spoke harshly to other girls. After all, the other party was a girl who had admired Lu Yun for many years. Everyone in the famous families of Jianye knew that Chen Xiu admired Lu Yun. Chen Xiu even delayed her marriage for many years because of Lu Yun, but Lu Yun quietly married Luo Lingyu. In the eyes of Jianye people, Lu Yun would rather marry a cousin with a poor family background than give Chen Xiu a chance. What a humiliation it was for Chen Xiu.
Lu Yun glanced at his second brother and said, "You think too much."
Lu Yun: "I don't want to deal with her, but she is too annoying. She thinks that she is close to me by doing something to me, but in fact, I am most annoyed by people doing this to me. If I negotiate with her and she is the same as before, I will definitely not be able to help but embarrass her... I don't know how much gossip will arise in the Jianye celebrity circle because of this."
Lu Xian and Liu Chu both smiled, knowing that with Lu Sanlang's fame, whatever he did the day before would spread all over Jianye the next day. Lu Yun was obviously very annoyed by the trouble brought by Lady Chen. People watched every move of celebrities, and if Lu Sanlang scolded Chen Xiu, the world would spread the story of how the two of them were deeply in love but could not be together... Moreover, Luo Lingyu came from a poor family, and people would not think that Lu Yun really loved that cousin, but would only think that the cousin was mean and that was why Lu Yun had to marry her. Bad reputation has a much worse impact on girls from poor families than on girls from famous families.
The vicious cousin in the eyes of the world.
Lu Xian smiled and said, "Third brother is really good to my cousin. He cares so much about my cousin's reputation..."
Lu Yun: "I was just afraid that she would cry again and ask me to comfort her."
Luo Lingyu is so petty, how could she tolerate being splashed with dirty water? I wonder how much trouble will arise.
A few people discussed this matter for a few sentences, and then talked about how to take action against those Northern Kingdom spies. They were able to find out some of them, but they couldn't find some who were hiding deep. Searching Chen's mansion was to scare the Northern Kingdom spies and let them see that the timing was not right and act as soon as possible. The plan was advanced, but Lu Yun and King Chen were already waiting for them.
So, when is the right time to take action?
It must be a grand enough opportunity for everyone to have fun, so that Xi Zuo can see that this is a good opportunity to cause trouble.
Liu Chu finally condescended to ask, "What are the recent festivals?"
The Dragon Boat Festival in May has passed, there are no festivals in June, and the Qiqiao Festival, Zhongyuan Festival, and Yulan Festival in July are two full months apart. There are too many variables.
Lu Xian murmured, "The most recent one... is the beginning of next month, when Princess Ningping and I will get married."
Liu Chu paused.
Lu Yun immediately said, "No, how can I make things easier for my second brother's marriage..."
Who would be willing to use their wedding as bait? A once-in-a-lifetime grand wedding, but afterward it turns out to be a war. Who would be willing?
Lu Xian suddenly thought of Liu Mu and said, "No, I do."
Lu Yun frowned for a rare moment: "......?!"
Lu Xian's heart was beating fast. He suddenly thought of Liu Mu's death, which happened some time after his wedding. If he had let Liu Mu come back earlier, Liu Mu would have rushed to Jianye... Prince Hengyang would not have died!
Lu Xian stood up and looked at Liu Chu: "I will discuss it with the princess... If the princess has no objection, let's use our marriage as bait. Your Highness, it's not that I don't cherish the princess, it's just that this opportunity is rare. I will definitely compensate the princess, and this marriage will definitely be the most grand wedding in Jianye. It's just that there will be some accidents outside... but it won't affect the Lu family or the princess. I..."
Liu Chu: "You don't need to explain. If Tang'er is willing, I have no objection."
…
Princess Ningping Liu Tang was a very gentle and shy princess.
When Lu Erlang gently and in detail explained to her why he did this, when Lu Erlang squatted in front of her and looked up at her eagerly, the little princess blushed and nodded, stammering, "No, no, it doesn't matter! I don't mind. If you, you don't mind, I don't mind either."
She whispered, "I am also willing to help my brother and... my husband."
Her hand was held by Lu Erlang, and both of their hands trembled slightly. They were silent for a while. After a long while, they heard Lu Xian's gentle voice: "Your Highness...Except for the marriage, I will treat you well..."
…
In the search of Chen's house, Lu Yun was reluctant to deal with Chen Xiu, so he had to ask Luo Lingyu for help. Lu Yun said confidently: "It's better for you to come forward. Aren't you and her old enemies? You always quarrel every time you meet."
