Chapter 222 Cat Thief Shen Yuan

Lu Shuyan has indeed been busy these days. She had always wanted to escape from the Lu family, and even thought about marrying a random husband for herself. After she got married, her mother could also divorce her and she would not have to waste time in the Lu family anymore. After the divorce, she could live with her mother or go back to Ezhou.

But the incident with the female official reminded her why she had to leave. She was the only legitimate daughter of the Lu family and inherited everything from the Lu family by right. Her two half-brothers, one was lazy and unlearned, and the other was dull and mediocre. She was absolutely confident that she was much better than both of them.

Her surname was also Lu. Why, just because she was a girl, the Lu family could send her away with just a dowry? They also asked her to marry into a rich family to pave the way for her father and brother? Not to mention that most of her dowry in the future was bought by her mother and had nothing to do with the Lu family at all.

During this period, many of the Lu family's businesses were replaced by her own people. Gao was indeed dissatisfied, but even her father could not say anything in the face of the legitimate reasons she gave.

Gao originally had the opportunity, but she was useless and only focused on small profits. She managed the shop in a mess and spoiled her son. Now he is almost an adult and has achieved nothing. He spends his days fighting for power.

After a while, Fuling came to reply to Shen Yuan. She said that Qiaoqin was indeed a good medical skill and a useful person. Shen Yuan then told Jiang Yunyi that Qiaoqin could stay in the clinic.

However, considering that she had two children to take care of, it was inconvenient for her to live in the clinic. Fortunately, Qiaoqin said that Mrs. He saw that her life was difficult and gave her some money, so she could rent a house for herself to live in first.

At noon, the four of them went to Tianyue Building for lunch. During the meal, Lu Shuyan said something that made the other three people open their mouths in surprise.

"I intend to recruit."

Lu Shuyan spoke calmly, took a bite of the food, and said calmly: "This dish is a bit bland."

Yan Siyu asked her, "No, Shuyan, when did you decide?"

"Last night before bed."

Jiang Yunyi said to her: "Well...you should be more cautious about this matter, right?"

"I will consider the candidate carefully."

Yan Siyu asked her, "What kind of person are you looking for? What are your requirements?"

"She must be able to bear children, tall, not fat, not too ugly, and not too stupid. She must have a clean family background, and definitely not one whose ancestors have been in prison."

Who would have thought that after hearing this, Yan Siyu actually said, "I think my brother is good! He's not very smart, but he can read. Why don't you consider it?"

Lu Shuyan couldn't help laughing, "Sure, as long as your parents agree to your brother marrying into the family."

Jiang Yunyi felt helpless listening to what was happening nearby. How could these two treat such a big matter as marriage so casually?

After dinner, everyone went home. Shen Yuan had something else to say so he waited a little longer. After seeing Jiang Yunyi and Yan Siyu off, Shen Yuan asked Lu Shuyan, "Didn't you say last time that you would consider Lord Yuwen? What about now?"

Lu Shuyan shook her head. "He is the commander of the Imperial City Department. If he becomes a son-in-law, probably half of the people in the capital will laugh at him."

Shen Yuan felt as if he understood something. "So you are afraid that he will be laughed at, not that you hate him?"

"I never said I hated him. He's a nice guy, but that's all. I have new pursuits now. I don't want to sacrifice myself for the Lu family who don't love me. Then I have to control the Lu family. As such, I may not need a very good husband."

Shen Yuan thought for a moment and said to Lu Shuyan, "You are not right. As the saying goes, a virtuous wife brings fewer troubles to her husband. Isn't it also true that a virtuous husband brings fewer troubles to his wife? Nowadays, not to mention the aristocratic families, even the common people want to find a good wife for their sons. So even if you want to bribe, why should you lower your requirements?"

Lu Shuyan was silent for a while, then said: "Thank you, Yuanyuan, I will think about this matter carefully."

When Shen Yuan returned home in the afternoon, she didn't know that Xie Hui would come to see her in the evening. After returning home, she went back to her room to change her clothes, played with her little nephew for a while, talked to her grandmother for a while, and then sneaked into her father's room, intending to steal the golden cake.

Shen Yuan picked up Huang Jingao and hurried out, muttering as he walked, "You are my cat, and I gave you this name. How dare you, little cat, not remember me?"

As a result, when I was walking from the front yard to the back yard, I suddenly heard a voice, "Manman, look who's here?"

Being caught stealing a cat, Shen Yuan was stunned... Then she thought, isn't this cat hers? Why did she use the word "steal"?

She turned around holding the cat and greeted with a big smile, "Dad, Brother Youqi, you are here!"

Shen Yun said: "Well, he once said that he wanted you to have dinner with him in the evening."

As he spoke, he came over and took the cat away, "You two can talk to each other. If you are going out, remember to come back early at night."

"Gao Gao'er, come back with Dad. What did you eat today?"

Shen Yuan's face fell, and she replied to Xie, accusing her father, "You don't even know that Huang Jingao is his daughter now."

"Full, but the golden cake is for males."

"ah?"

…

"Manman, come have dinner with me tonight, okay?"

"Okay, I have nothing to do tonight, but have you decided where to go?"

"Shen's Tavern." Xie Hui smiled and looked at her.

In the carriage, Shen Yuan did not forget to look up the past, "I don't know who it is. I asked him about his birthday but he was unwilling to tell me."

Shen Yuan supported Xie Hui's knees with his hands, and leaned over to stare at him, "Why did you agree to it later? Xie Youqi, explain it to me."

Thinking back to the past, he felt a little embarrassed. Looking at the girl in front of him, Xie Hui leaned in and touched her nose. "I'm sorry, I didn't know what was good or bad at that time. It was my honor to be asked about my birthday, but I dared not to answer. I deserve to be beaten."

Shen Yuan stretched out his hand and rubbed Xie Hui's face as if it were a dough. Seeing Xie Hui's handsome face become weird in his hands, he couldn't help laughing.

Xie Hui did not move, and let her rub it. When she stopped, he smiled and asked her, "Are you angry now?"

"What if I say I don't have you?"

Xie Hui didn't say anything, but took Shen Yuan's hand and put it on his face. The meaning was self-evident.

Shen Yuan pinched him twice, then held his face and leaned forward to kiss him.

"Forgive me, who told me to be magnanimous?"

"Then... thank my family for being so magnanimous." Xie Hui said one word and moved closer, until he was right in Shen Yuan's face.

Stone and Wood, who were sitting in the front of the carriage, reached out their hands at the same time and rubbed their ears silently. Having too sensitive ears can also be a problem!
