Chapter 791 You really don’t know how to be gentle with women
The ninth day of the Lunar New Year.
Tiangong Day is the birthday of the Jade Emperor.
It is said that if you do things on this day, you will be blessed by the Jade Emperor and everything will go smoothly.
The old man of the Zhong family obviously believed it as well.
That's why they chose this day to hold a banquet and announce the successor.
The Zhong family was busy early in the morning, bringing in a number of personnel from outside. The Zhong family mansion, shrouded in mystery for many years, seemed to have come alive again, ready to welcome a new leader.
As the eldest lady of the Zhong family and the only female hostess, Zhao Shuyuan is very thoughtful and meticulous in her work.
All personnel dispatches are subject to her arrangements.
"Have you prepared the incense for the ancestral hall? We need the best! And the offerings for worshiping the God of Heaven and comforting our ancestors."
"Don't panic. The guests won't arrive this early. The old man calculated that we'll leave the ancestral hall at 10:28 in the morning. Just do your part."
Zhao Shuyuan, dressed in a modest yet understated dress, asked, "Have you prepared all the old master's clothes?"
"In reply to the eldest young lady, everything is ready."
"Then send it up. We still have time to fix any problems."
"yes."
Zhao Shuyuan checked again the items needed to open the ancestral hall and found nothing wrong.
She thought of the conversation with Zhong Yi that day and bit her lip, feeling a little nervous. A lot of things must have happened today.
As Zhong Lingxiao's wife, she least wanted Zhong Lingxiao to become the heir.
Because that means that from now on, her life will be completely controlled by Zhong Lingxiao.
"Madam, Miss Lu is here. She said that to be on the safe side, she came early today to treat the old man."
"Okay, please ask her to come in."
As soon as Zhao Shuyuan finished speaking, she saw Lu Yingxue appear in the living room.
She treats the Zhong family as her own home.
"Miss Lu, please take a seat. I'll send someone upstairs to inform the old man first." Zhao Shuyuan said politely. She walked over and poured a cup of tea for Lu Yingxue.
Lu Yingxue nodded.
In front of Zhao Shuyuan, Lu Yingxue seemed to have a lot of superiority.
She looked at the well-educated Zhao Shuyuan and said, "I heard that the eldest young lady is also going to burn incense today. This should be your first time to burn incense in the Zhong family ancestral hall, right?"
Zhao Shuyuan's face turned pale.
This is indeed the first time in all these years of marriage.
This was mainly because Zhong Lingxiao didn't like her, and she hadn't given birth to any children for the Zhong family. When they were running the ancestral hall, Zhong Lingxiao always ignored her.
In addition, there have been very few major events that require the opening of the ancestral hall in recent years.
She brought some fruits and snacks to Lu Yingxue and said, "It is indeed the first time."
Lu Yingxue's smile was very strange: "Young Master Zhong really has no sympathy for women."
Zhao Shuyuan's hand paused as she smelled the pleasant scent on Lu Yingxue, a scent she had never smelled on other wealthy ladies.
According to online rumors, the shampoo and conditioner products Lu Yingxue uses are all mixed by herself and are unique.
She had accidentally smelled this fragrance on Zhong Lingxiao.
He drank a lot of wine that day, and the smell of alcohol mixed with fragrance hit me in the face, leaving a deep impression on me.
What kind of contact would allow such a rich fragrance to be detected?
Zhao Shuyuan looked at Lu Yingxue and couldn't understand how Lu Yingxue and Zhong Lingxiao could be fooling around together.
Is this a misunderstanding?
"Miss Lu, please have some tea first. I have something else to attend to. The ancestral hall is very busy today, and the guests will be arriving around nine o'clock. Please make your own way..."
Lu Yingxue took a sip of water, smiled, and said, "Go ahead and get busy. Those who are capable should do more work."
After seeing Zhao Shuyuan leave, she put down her teacup and looked around the entire Zhong family's old house.
Such a large house really needs a housekeeper to take care of it. The job of the eldest lady of the Zhong family is not easy either.
She stood up and walked up the stairs. When she turned the corner, she saw Zhong Lingxiao.
Zhong Lingxiao was dressed particularly brightly today, as he was already a good-looking guy.
Today he looks more stable and reserved, and his figure is also set off by his clothes. He is more handsome when he is not smiling, and has a more mature temperament than Zhongyi.
Lu Yingxue's lips curled up into a smile, "Dress up for the event."
"A good day naturally needs to be celebrated. I've invited some regular media..."
"What a coincidence, me too."
The media that Lu Yingxue invited were not very formal. They mainly wanted to capture Zhong Yi's frustrated expression after his defeat.
Zhong Lingxiao walked closer and lowered his voice, "I heard... you want Zhong Yi to be your secret lover?"
"Yes, don't you agree?"
"Can't I satisfy you?"
"A nobleman has fallen into depravity and become my lover. Isn't it good for him to do everything according to my mood? You can also humiliate him with me. Wouldn't that be more satisfying than letting him die?"
Lu Yingxue had been teased by Zhong Yi many times, but she had also been truly bewitched by that face.
Love and hate, hate comes from love.
"Lu Yingxue, you've got a good plan. Do you want to enjoy the best of both worlds?"
"Learn from you."
Zhong Lingxiao sneered and didn't say yes, but he didn't blame him either.
The attitude is unclear.
"To see the old man?"
"Take care of him. I've prepared red wine and a candlelight dinner at Feng Moli tonight, waiting for you to come over and celebrate." Lu Yingxue reached out and hooked his tie, adjusted it carefully, and said, "Don't let me down. The position of heir is within your grasp."
"Um."
"By the way, you've also taken Lin Xifei in? Are you planning to bring your wives to the ancestral hall to burn incense? I can't believe the old man would actually agree to that."
"He values offspring the most."
Lu Yingxue asked: "What do you value most?"
"It's status, of course."
Lu Yingxue smiled, and brought her red lips close to his, but she didn't kiss him, "I hope you can get what you want."
"Leave."
Zhong Lingxiao straightened his clothes and walked downstairs.
Lu Yingxue continued walking forward and went to the room of the old man of the Zhong family to give him acupuncture and conditioning, making sure that he could complete the ceremony in the ancestral hall today.
…
At half past nine.
Guests had already begun arriving at the Zhong family's old house, all of whom were accommodated in the VIP lounge. Other areas of the old house were also opened up as places for guests to relax and chat.
Those who arrive early are usually of lower status and want to seek opportunities to socialize and make friends with the powerful.
Having more connections will be of great help in the future.
Media workers were also arranged in one place. There were so many media present today that the media lounge was packed.
over time.
The other three major families in the imperial capital also showed up. After the incident at the Thirteen Bay Wharf, the Pei family clearly stood on Zhong Lingxiao's side.
The Xie family came to join in the fun, and Xie Xubai and Huo Sijiao came together.
The Lu family's father and daughter had also arrived, but now that Lu Yingxue had gradually become the boss of the Lu family, Lu Bannong had become even more low-key than before. He just chatted politely with a few old friends in a corner and didn't join in the drinking and socializing.
After the Guan family fell below the four major families, the situation became much more low-key, and they did not come this time.
As ten o'clock approached, groups of distinguished guests looked towards the entrance of the old house, making bursts of noise and discussion.
“Here I come!”
"He's here too!"
"Come and be humiliated together with Second Young Master Zhong?"
