Chapter 503: Suspicion
The next morning, just after the Zhong family finished breakfast, they heard the housekeeper come to report that Miss Long had arrived.
When they suddenly heard the name "Miss Long", everyone was stunned. Then they immediately remembered that Lu Chenran's wife was Miss Long Jiarui of the Long family.
In an instant, everyone's expression turned strange. Zhong Mengxuan was Lu Chenran's lover, and Long Jiarui was Lu Chenran's wife. Now that Long Jiarui had come to their house, it didn't seem like a good thing no matter how you looked at it.
However, when they heard that Long Jiarui came this time to look for Zhong Nianyao, everyone's eyes immediately fell on Zhong Nianyao.
Zhong Nianyao slowly put down the milk in her hand, picked up a tissue, wiped her mouth, and then looked at Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong. She slowly said, "Grandpa, Grandma, Jia Rui and I had a great chat yesterday. Today, she invited me to visit the Long family, so I won't be back for dinner tonight."
When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned, and when they looked at Zhong Nian Yao, their eyes were full of disbelief.
Because of what Zhong Mengxuan did, although they couldn't be said to be enemies with the Long family, it should be impossible for them to have any dealings with each other. Unexpectedly, now Long Jiarui actually invited Zhong Nianyao to visit the Long family.
This sounded like a fairy tale. However, when it came to Zhong Nianyao, it didn't seem so hard to understand. After all, Zhong Nianyao was about to marry the third master of the Lu family.
"Yaoyao, are you really sure—" After thinking for a moment, Mr. Zhong considered his words and then said, "Are you going to visit the Long family today?"
Although Zhong Nianyao looked calm and composed, as if it was just a normal thing, like visiting a friend's house, he was still a little worried. After all, with what Zhong Mengxuan had done, how could the Long family be kind to them?
So, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that Zhong Nianyao was attending the Hongmen Banquet this time.
Seeing the hidden worry on Old Man Zhong's face, Zhong Nianyao smiled slightly, shook her head, and said, "Grandpa, I didn't lie to you. Long Jiarui and I really get along well. Besides, I'm just visiting a friend's house. I'll be back after dinner today."
"Dad, you don't have to worry." Zheng Siling said with a smile, "Nian Yao and Third Master Lu are getting engaged soon. In fact, she will soon become Miss Long's third aunt. After all, she is an elder, and she will not neglect her."
If it was the sickly Mr. Lu from before, it would be hard to say.
Now, after showing his strength, Third Master Lu's status in the Lu family is not low. Moreover, since Old Master Lu values Zhong Nianyao so much, if Long Jiarui still wants to live a good life in the Lu family in the future, she will not embarrass Zhong Nianyao.
Old Master Zhong was not relieved by Zheng Siling's words, and still gave Zhong Nian Yao a lot of advice.
Zhong Nianyao found it a little funny. If someone didn't know, they would have thought she was about to get into some dangerous situation!
However, listening to Mr. Zhong's endless explanations, a warm feeling surged in her heart.
She thought of her former master, the old man, who often chattered like this, patiently telling her again and again, as if she were still a child.
Zhong Nianyao got into Long Jiarui's car and headed towards the Long family.
The car drove all the way and came to a large manor.
The Long family’s manor is very large. Although it is not as large as the Lu family’s, it is still one of the best in the imperial capital.
There was no change in the expression on Zhong Nianyao's face. She just glanced at him indifferently, but there was a hint of interest in her eyes.
"The scenery of our house is nice, isn't it!" Long Jiarui said with a smile, "We even asked a master to help decorate it."
"It's really nice." Zhong Nianyao nodded. "Not only the scenery, but the feng shui is also very good. The master you found is indeed a real talent."
A faint wisp of spiritual energy emanated from the Long family's manor. Though thin, it was still incredibly precious. Those who lived within were blessed with good health and a low risk of colds and fevers. Furthermore, they generally lived longer.
After receiving Zhong Nianyao's approval, Long Jiarui smiled even more happily.
She knew Zhong Nianyao's ability. Even Zhong Nianyao said it was good, which meant that the feng shui of the manor was really good. However, despite such a good feng shui, something went wrong at home.
When she thought of this, her originally good mood was suddenly overshadowed.
Zhong Nianyao also noticed the change in Long Jiarui's mood, but she didn't say anything.
No amount of comfort is as practical as solving the problem.
Soon, under the leadership of Long Jiarui, Zhong Nianyao entered the main house.
Long Jiarui brought Zhong Nianyao to the living room, where many people were already waiting.
When Long Yunfeng, the head of the Long family, saw his little daughter return, he kept looking behind her, "Xiao Rui, didn't you say you found a master? Why didn't I see you bring a master back?"
Zhao Rongrong, the mistress of the Long family, also looked anxious. "Is the master busy? We can come to your house in person."
Everyone else was also waiting for Long Jiarui's answer.
As for Zhong Nianyao, who was standing next to Long Jiarui, everyone tacitly ignored her. After all, such a young girl didn't look like a master at all.
Long Jiarui knew that everyone had misunderstood, and quickly pulled Zhong Nianyao, "Dad, Mom, this is the master I was talking about—Zhong Nianyao. She's really amazing! She helped me look at the direction yesterday, and she really got everything right."
"Nonsense," Long Yunfeng's face suddenly darkened. "Xiao Rui, it's already this hour, and you're still messing around here. We've really spoiled you, and now you're actually using something like this to cause trouble."
"Your father is right." Zhao Rongrong reached out and pulled Long Jiarui over, her expression somewhat displeased. "You kid, our entire family is worried about your second brother's situation, and you're still joking about such a thing. No wonder your father is angry. Apologize quickly!"
"Dad, Mom, I really didn't lie to you." Long Jiarui was also a little anxious, "Nian Yao is really amazing, you should let her see it first!"
While speaking, she was observing the changes in Zhong Nianyao's expression subtly, fearing that Zhong Nianyao would get angry because of her parents' words and leave in anger.
