Chapter 310: Tips for Liu

When the two sisters of the Liu family saw Lu Lingyun coming, they all came forward to greet her happily.

Next to them, Lu Lingyun also saw a little girl about twelve years old.

The little girl had her hair in a bun with two velvet and pearl hairpins in it. She was wearing a goose-yellow cotton dress, with only the front of her jacket made of silk. She had no expensive jewelry on her body, except for a silver bracelet with a pattern of gold threads on it.

The little girl blinked her big eyes and looked at the rich and glamorous Lu Lingyun who came in with scrutiny and timidity.

When Lu Lingyun saw her, he knew that this must be the niece that Lu Kuan had mentioned, whom Liu wanted to introduce to him.

"Why are you two here too?" Lu Lingjun retracted his gaze and said to Liu Qingping and Liu Qingshuang.

Liu Qingping and Liu Qingshuang looked at each other and said, "Auntie asked us to come and sit down."

When Lu Lingyun heard this, before she could say anything, Liu, who was sitting on the couch, stood up warmly and greeted her with a smile, "Lingyun, what brings you here?"

Lu Lingyun winked at Shuanghong behind him, and Shuanghong stepped forward carrying the packed knee pad cloak.

Lu Lingyun said, "Will Kuan'er be able to try it soon? I've prepared some cold-weather stuff for him. Send it over."

When Liu heard this, her old face became even more friendly and kind, "You don't need to worry about these things. As a mother, I will do it for him!"

"Aunt, you've done it, what else do you want me to do?"

At this time, a slightly childish female voice sounded.

The twelve-year-old girl from the Liu family spoke while holding up a pair of simply made knee pads.

"Qinghui, what are you doing?" Aunt Liu interrupted her quickly.

This girl's name is Liu Qinghui. She is the youngest in their family and the only unmarried girl.

Originally she was a concubine's daughter, and her uncle-in-law Liu had never taken her seriously. But Liu was anxious to choose a daughter-in-law for Lu Kuan, and her target was her own family. She would choose any girl from her family, so there was no need to take the lead.

This kind of good thing fell on Liu Qinghui's head.

After all, Lu Kuan will take the imperial examination in the next moment, and it seems that he has the potential to be as successful as Jacky Chan. It will be too late to make arrangements until he takes off!

They need to hurry!

After being scolded by her stepmother, Liu Qinghui immediately shut up and stood aside looking aggrieved.

She originally had no attention at home. Her mother was a maid who came with her stepmother as a dowry, and now she is also the stepmother's head maid. She has to serve her stepmother and manage the accounts for her.

Thanks to this relationship, although she received less attention, her stepmother never treated her harshly, and her mother could even earn her some money from time to time.

She lived a much better life than her previous sister.

Of course, she, like all the other concubines, was extremely afraid of Aunt Liu. As soon as she spoke, they were so frightened that they shut their mouths and dared not say a word.

Lu Lingyun looked at the aggrieved little girl in front of her and smiled calmly, "Aunt, who is this?"

"She is Qinghui, your youngest cousin." Aunt Liu laughed dryly.

Lu Lingyun walked up to Liu Qinghui and took the knee pad from her hand. "Did you make this?"

Liu Qinghui looked at her and nodded timidly.

"Made for your third cousin?"

"Um."

"You are so thoughtful. Your third cousin is going to take the imperial examination. The examination room is cold and gloomy, so he should bring some warm clothes. I thank you on his behalf."

Hearing the thanks, Liu Qinghui was very confused, "No need to thank me, no need to thank me, my mother and aunt asked me to do it."

Mrs. Liu and her aunt on the side all changed their expressions when they heard this. Mrs. Liu even looked at her only niece from her mother's side with disdain in her eyes.

Why can't I get up?

If she wasn't the only girl in her family, she would never let her marry him!

Aunt Liu is still very nervous at this moment!

Everyone knew that Lu Kuan relied on Lu Lingyun. With her help, he entered a good academy and made great progress.

She must be concerned about Lu Kuan's marriage.

And Lu Lingyun has helped the Liu family a lot over the years. She also contributed to the marriages of her two daughters, which is why Liu Qingping and Liu Qingshuang both married into wealthy families.

After she got married, because she was their cousin, they had a good relationship and her family members didn't dare to bully her.

Now that she knew what they had done, Aunt Liu felt embarrassed and nervous.

She got anxious and explained, "Lingyun, it's not what you think."

Lu Lingyun smiled, "Of course I know that my aunt and mother both care about Kuan'er. We are all family. It is normal for Kuan'er to call Qinghui cousin."

Lu Lingyun casually brushed the matter aside with the words "we are a family".

Originally Liu Qinghui was going to give Lu Kuan a pair of knee pads, but now the whole family was giving them to him together.

What ambiguity could there be in this that could lead to misunderstanding?

But what she said made Liu and Aunt Liu choke. They, they really meant that!

Mrs. Liu and Aunt Liu looked at each other helplessly. The eye contact between the two was very dramatic, but no one of them spoke!

But she couldn't say it directly at this moment, and she had to point Liu Qinghui to Lu Kuan, and she couldn't even use Liu Qinghui's name to say that she wanted to give it to him as a hint.

Because the girl Liu Qinghui was young and stupid, she confessed like a child!

It's really useless!

In the end, it was Liu who smiled awkwardly first, "Yes, yes, yes, we all care about Kuan'er. He is the most successful one in our family! His two elder brothers haven't even passed the imperial examination yet. The whole family hopes that Kuan'er can pass the imperial examination and bring honor to the family!"

"What mother said is that if Kuan'er passes the imperial examination, it will be an honor for our entire family. It will benefit you, me, father, and even uncles."

Lu Lingyun sat down and played with the knee pad. "Kuan'er is no longer just one person. He represents our entire family. His future is everyone's future. How far he can go is how far we can all follow him, right?"

Lu Lingjun looked at Liu with a faint smile.

Liu knew that she was pointing at her!

She was not stupid, so she naturally saw Lu Kuan's potential, so she went to great lengths to catch him.

But she also only saw this. She wanted her niece to marry him so that she could control him tightly and maximize her benefits.

But once Lu Kuan takes off, he will be able to choose a better wife. A strong wife's family will allow him to fly farther and more steadily, and their Lu family will also become stronger.

It's a greater good for everyone.

But what does this have to do with Liu?

Liu just thought about her own best interests.

Lu Lingyun looked at her and continued slowly, "Mother, if someone affected Kuan'er's future, for example, he could have gone higher but was pulled down by someone, I think father would be the first one who would not let him go, right?"

After she said this, Liu was completely speechless.

Lu Lingyun just pointed at her at first, but now he is threatening her!
