Logically speaking, Jin Yanyu and Lu Niandi are the heirs to the military power in the north and south respectively, and should not be so close in private, but they have common ideals.
"Okay, these things can't be rushed, we have to take it slow. Once Marshal Lu makes any moves, we will notify you immediately.
Ideals cannot be achieved overnight, and before that, saving your life is the most important thing."
The death of classmate Wang has had a great impact on everyone. Now the Wang family is gone, but the dead cannot be brought back to life, and they have lost a good classmate forever.
It was with the help of Jin Yanyu that Lu Nian Di and Chen Miao Yi were able to successfully send Tong Tong, the Fifth Concubine, Mei Er and others away, and their relationship became increasingly close.
In this era, some people fight for their ideals, and some people fight for their loved ones.
"Master, the Marshal is telling you and the Eighth Concubine to come back early from school today. There are important guests at home who want to meet them."
The Lu family called the school. Chen Miaoyi and Lu Niandi were a little surprised to find out who the important guest was. It was normal for them to meet their son, but they also wanted to meet the concubine?
They were also wondering if it was Jin Yanyu's father who came?
But when I got home, I found that the visitor was completely unexpected.
The Lu Mansion was decorated inside and out, the flowers in the garden were re-tended, and the lawn was re-mowed.
"Master, Eighth Concubine, the Marshal is in the living room."
After the two of them entered, the five remaining concubines of Marshal Lu were standing upright in a row, while Marshal Lu was sitting on the sofa, facing a young woman who looked to be only in her twenties.
"Nian Di is back, come quickly, this is Aunt Shi."
The woman called Aunt Shi was dressed very stylishly, wearing a new-style skirt and her long hair was elegantly tied up behind her head.
"This is Nian Di, my dear child. Seeing is believing."
Then she turned her gaze to Chen Miaoyi with an unkind look in her eyes.
"Is this the Eighth Concubine? How can she be so unruly?"
She casually said it was rude, but Marshal Lu pointed at Chen Miaoyi angrily and said, "Stand over there quickly, you have no manners."
Chen Miaoyi quickly stood next to the other concubines, and after a long time she figured out that these people were standing there as punishment!
"That's more like it. I'm not being nosy, but you are a high-ranking official, and your family traditions should be more rigorous.
How can a concubine go to and from school with the young master? Don't tarnish our young master's reputation and let outsiders say that he is having an affair with his own stepmother."
She was clearly wearing the most fashionable and stylish skirt, but the words she spoke were the most feudal and old-fashioned.
Chen Miaoyi was secretly complaining in her heart that this was not only unclear, but also shameless.
"What Miss Shi said makes sense. I was busy getting them to come back to see you today. Usually, one of them walks and the other takes a car, so they don't run into each other."
Marshal Lu was very polite to her, even a little doting and a little flattering.
"Why would a concubine go to school? She should just stay home and take care of her husband and children, play cards, and plant flowers. Those schools, with boys and girls mixed together, are bad for your reputation, Marshal."
Shi Yun's casual words can determine the fate of others.
Marshal Lu thought for a moment and said, "You're right. Why would a girl need to read so many books? From tomorrow on, Xiao Ba, you don't have to go to school. Just stay home and enjoy reading. If you like reading, ask someone to buy some books for you."
???
Chen Miaoyi was filled with questions. So this woman was targeting her? Why did every word she said seem to be directed at her?
"No, I have to go to school. I haven't completed my education yet." Chen Miaoyi retorted. How can I not go to school when I haven't accomplished my goal yet?
"Yes, Dad, my stepmother has such good grades, it would be a shame if she doesn't go to school." Lu Nian Di also spoke for her.
Shi Yun raised the corner of his mouth and said, "How can a concubine like you have the right to interrupt us when we are talking?
Marshal, your family is too undisciplined."
The faces of the concubines were uglier than each other, but at this moment, they were united in their hatred of the enemy.
"Yes, yes, Yun'er is right, that's why I need you to help me manage the household!
From now on, these concubines will serve you. I am relieved to leave this family to you."
Marshal Lu was not angry at all, he even held Shi Yun's hand affectionately.
This is finding a stepmother for Lu Nian Di!
No wonder, all these concubines had sour faces and disliked that woman, and that woman also started to confront her as soon as she came.
But now, her chance to go to school was so casually taken away?
"Okay, okay, Nian Di is back, it's time to eat, Yun'er, you must be hungry."
In the past, everyone had to sit at the table to eat, but the future hostess would not be so easy to talk to.
"A concubine, after all, is here to serve our master.
Just stand aside, and wait until the three of us have finished eating before they eat."
Chen Miaoyi glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw several concubines grabbing their handkerchiefs fiercely.
The three of them sat at the table, and the others stood in a row like servants. Lu Nian Di looked at her, and Chen Miaoyi shook her head. Nothing was clear yet, so don't act rashly.
The meal of loving father and filial son ended very slowly. It was really because Shi Yun had too many dining etiquettes. She couldn't say anything if Lu Nian Di ate this way, and she couldn't say anything if he ate that way.
The concubines had to come and help put the food into the bowls. He really treated everyone as a servant.
After seeing Shi Yun off, the concubines of the Lu family collapsed on the sofa as if they had breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiao Ba, Xiao Ba, thank goodness you came back late. You don't know what this woman has done to us."
"That's right. She said the clothes I was wearing looked inappropriate. She said married women should be dignified. Why should I, a concubine, be dignified?"
Marshal Lu and Lu Nian Di personally saw her out, and he came back looking tired. As soon as he lay down on the sofa, several concubines surrounded him.
"Marshal, are you really going to marry her? She looks so fierce!"
"That's right, even the third concubine is pregnant and can't sit down and rest."
Great, you look down on everyone equally, right?
Marshal Lu sighed, "Nian Di happened to be here too. Shi Yun is from the Shi family and is a great help to our family. I had a hard time getting her to agree to marry into the family.
None of you are allowed to mess this up!"
Lu Nian Di looked puzzled, "Dad, do you have to marry her?"
He wanted to say that his mother was his original wife, so was Shi Yun his second wife?
"Of course, it was hard to get it. Your father and I made a lot of sacrifices.
The Shi family is related to the Jin family. Now there are some conflicts between the Jin family and our family. Don't get too close to that Jin family, or you might become enemies.
When I marry Shi Yun, who will I need to be wary of in the future? "
Isn't the Shi family related to the Jin family? Will they help the Lu family?
