Chapter 314 Lu Qi is lying to him
"Lu Xuan! Uncle Meng, Sister Jin! Where are you?"
Lu Li's voice came from not far away.
Jin Yulu waved her hand hastily: "Miss Jiu, we are here!"
Meng Shanchuan: ...
How should he correct the Ninth Princess?
She calls him uncle and Miss Jin sister, isn't this a division of generations?
How can he marry Miss Jin in the future?
"Where is Lu Xuan?" Not seeing Wang Xiang, Lu Li tiptoed and looked around.
"He's still playing in the water. If you call him, he should come out." Jin Yulu replied with a smile.
During this period of time, she realized that Lu Li and Lu Xuan were not ordinary children. She did not say anything and just treated them as ordinary children.
"Then I'll go find him." Lu Li let go of the hand holding the second princess and ran towards the river.
"Lu Xuan, where are you? Come out quickly!"
Lu Li's baby voice was so loud that it broke the sky, but Wang Xiang in the water was unaware of it.
In desperation, Lu Li dived into the water to look for someone in person.
"I think you are itchy. Your sister called you but you didn't listen." Lu Li muttered and dived into the water.
She learned a lesson from Concubine Xian: it is better to beat your brother as early as possible.
Otherwise, if someone like Mr. Qu grows up and becomes disobedient, it will be difficult to beat him.
After all, she had to maintain the dignity of a queen.
And we also have to give face to Lord Qu, who is an official.
Growing up is such a hassle!
…
Lu Li jumped into the river so quickly that the people on the shore had no time to stop her.
The three of them looked at each other, and finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Second Miss, is everything going well today?" Jin Yulu couldn't help but ask.
She also heard about the story of the weaving girl.
"It went very smoothly." Lu Qi told everything that happened in court.
Upon hearing the Gu family admit that they were pretending to be gods and impersonating the goddess, Jin Yulu clapped her hands in applause.
"The Fourth Master is truly amazing. This move has put the Gu family in a dilemma, and they have confessed without being asked." When she mentioned Lu Yan, her face was full of admiration and praise.
Meng Shanchuan's heart skipped a beat.
It's over. Miss Jin won't fall in love with the emperor and want to enter the palace as a concubine.
"My father's decision to have Young Master Jiang go and slap me in the face was indeed a brilliant arrangement." Lu Qi couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips when he mentioned his sweetheart.
If they hadn't met Jiang Heci, they would have had no one to turn to if they encountered what happened today.
Seeing that they were chatting more and more happily, Meng Shanchuan's heart sank to the bottom.
Miss Jin has so much to talk about with the Second Princess, but has nothing to say to him. Does it mean that she has no feelings towards him at all?
Meng Shanchuan's heart was in turmoil and he began to be distracted, so he became perfunctory when talking to her.
He didn't hear what Lu Qi and Jin Yulu were talking about at all, and just kept answering with "hmm" and "hmm".
"Brother Meng?"
"General Meng?"
Jin Yulu shouted twice in succession before Meng Shanchuan came back to his senses.
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay. I'll go see if Miss Nine and Master Xuan have come ashore." Jin Yulu's smile was faint, much more distant than before.
"Second Miss, what happened just now?" Meng Shanchuan keenly noticed that Jin Yulu's attitude towards him had changed, and couldn't help asking.
"Yulu just asked you, she's cooking tonight, how do you want to eat the fish, grill it or stew it in soup." Lu Qi raised his eyebrows in response, a hint of a smile in his eyes.
"Ah?" Meng Shanchuan didn't expect Jin Yulu to ask him this question, and he was actually distracted.
He now slapped his thigh in regret.
"Second Miss, do you think it's too late for me to catch up with her and tell her that I want to eat grilled fish?" he asked with a tearful face.
"General Meng, getting married and having children is just like marching and fighting. The most important thing to avoid is indecision. You are not the only one who likes this beautiful girl. If you don't act quickly, you will lose your wife." Lu Qi patted his shoulder and left in a leisurely manner.
When Meng Shanchuan heard this, the vague veil in his mind was instantly blown away.
Yes, he doesn’t chase his wife, he fights.
The principle behind both is to achieve ultimate victory.
What does he have to hesitate about?
Make a good plan, act with one go, and you'll win.
But before that, he had to find out who else had taken a fancy to Miss Jin.
He quickly ran towards Lu Qi and said flatteringly, "Second Miss, do you know who has taken a fancy to Miss Jin?"
"It's you, isn't it?" Lu Qi smiled brilliantly.
"Second Miss, please don't tease me. Just tell me who my other love rivals are." Meng Shanchuan pleaded pitifully.
"Because I've been on the battlefield, I'm still unmarried at the age of 22, and my parents are getting really worried. I finally have a girl I want to marry, so please help me."
"Didn't your parents arrange a marriage for you as a child?" Lu Qi asked.
When she was looking for a prince consort for herself, she secretly looked at unmarried men in Beijing, and Meng Shanchuan was also on her list.
Later, because he had a child marriage, she simply crossed him out from the list of candidates.
Now he wants to marry Jin Yulu, and she treats Jin Yulu as a good friend, so naturally she wants to get this matter clear.
"That was ordered by my parents, not something I agreed to." Meng Shanchuan suddenly became anxious.
The girl was six years younger than him, and they disliked each other.
This child marriage was only verbally agreed upon by the parents of both parties, and no formal betrothal gift was given.
"And that girl also has her own lover. We have made it clear to each other a long time ago. She got married last year." Afraid that Lu Qi would not believe him, he quickly explained it clearly.
Lu Qi nodded thoughtfully.
After she had made great achievements on the battlefield last year, she had no interest in choosing a prince consort and had not paid attention to the subsequent events.
"Do you really want to marry Yu Lu?" Lu Qi looked at him seriously.
"Of course I mean it." Meng Shanchuan nodded without hesitation.
"Don't think you can treat her casually just because she comes from a merchant family and is an orphan. She is the wine shop manager appointed by our father and holds a sixth-rank official position," Lu Qi reminded.
"Meng will definitely treat her as his legal wife." Meng Shanchuan understood the implication of Lu Qi's words and quickly expressed his opinion.
Lu Qi was quite satisfied with his attitude, so he kindly revealed the man's name.
"What? How could it be him?" Meng Shanchuan widened his eyes. He never expected that his love rival would be Dark Guard Fifteen.
The young man was taciturn and had almost no sense of existence, but he didn't expect that he had the same vision as him and fell in love with Miss Jin.
But he will never give up.
"Shiwu has sent gifts to Yu Lu several times." Lu Qi brought this up deliberately to provoke Meng Shanchuan.
Because of Lu Li, several of the secret guards who were hiding in the dark came out into the light.
One is Eighteen, who is responsible for delivering letters.
The other one is Fifteen, who had been to the Grand Princess’s Mansion with Lu Li before, so Lu Qi had a good impression of him.
In fact, Fifteen sent things to Jin Yulu under Lu Li's order.
Lu Qi was lying to him.
After all, Meng Shanchuan was like a dumb cannon, unable to make a single move for a long time.
She really couldn't bear it anymore, so she decided to find ways to stimulate him so that he wouldn't just stare at Jin Yulu all day, wanting to say something but stopping herself from taking any action.
Without the encouragement of others, this guy would probably never have dared to take action.
"What? You're giving away gifts!" Meng Shanchuan became even more anxious.
He hasn't even started yet, but the other person has already run hundreds of miles. How can he catch up with him?
