Chapter 332: The Growth of the Mother's Family

Lu Kuan won the first place in the imperial examination. In the evening, Cheng Yunshuo came to Lu Lingyun's yard and asked him a few questions.

Lu Kuan is now very famous. He studied at Tianfu Academy and also worshipped the prime minister of the current dynasty. He won the first place in the imperial examination. Cheng Yunshuo's colleagues all know this person.

Today, after the results were announced, everyone came to Cheng Yunshuo and said that he had an amazing brother-in-law.

The future is limitless.

There were even some smart people who found out about Lu Kuan's marriage through Cheng Yunshuo's relationship. Many families wanted to marry their daughters to him.

Cheng Yunshuo used to sneer at these compliments in the early years, but now that he is older and his own achievements are mediocre, he sees more and more that it is difficult for ordinary people to have a high-achieving life.

He is just an ordinary child of aristocratic family in his life. Even if he works hard all his life, he may not be able to become the chief guard, let alone the top guard like the front guard.

He doesn't have the opportunity or sufficient background.

All the guards serving before the emperor were related to him; in their families, either an elder sister or an aunt was an empress in the palace. When discussing seniority in private, they either called the emperor brother-in-law, aunt, or uncle.

After all, that kind of top-level, close-quarter work should be done by the people you trust the most.

Cheng Yunshuo believed that his family did not have the foundation and strength, and he himself did not have outstanding talents that would be remembered by the emperor and specially promoted.

The probability is that he will live an ordinary life as a guard commander, and his fate will end when he inherits his father's title of marquis.

Suddenly, his family had a talented brother-in-law who ranked first in the provincial examination and the metropolitan examination, and was about to take the palace examination. He was in great glory, and all his colleagues came to praise him, which made Cheng Yunshuo feel proud.

After returning, I asked Lu Lingyun about Lu Kuan.

"A Kuan won the first prize?"

"Yes, has the prince also heard about it?"

"Ah Kuan is really amazing." Cheng Yunshuo praised Lu Kuan repeatedly, "Your family is still the best, no wonder it is a family of scholars, and everyone is talented."

Lu Lingyun listened to Cheng Yunshuo's praise and smiled faintly. She chatted with him casually, but Cheng Yunshuo became more and more interested as they talked. Every word he said was praising Lu Lingyun, Lu Kuan and the Lu family. He looked proud, as if he had married a good wife.

The longer the ordinary days go by, the more you can see the influence of each other's family background.

Passion and interest have a short shelf life, but a strong family background and personal abilities and qualities will continue to demonstrate their value.

Lu Lingyun's family is becoming more powerful, and Cheng Yunshuo also thinks more highly of her.

Seeing that it was time for dinner, Lu Lingyun asked, "Sir, are you going to stay here for dinner tonight?"

"Okay." Cheng Yunshuo agreed without hesitation.

The image of Li Bixi flashed through his mind for only a moment, and then quickly disappeared.

Li Bixi is totally incomparable to Lu Lingyun.

There was no one in Li Bixi's family, and those who came were from ordinary families. She had no foundation or background at all. She was the only one who got into the marquis' mansion relying on her good looks.

But now, she was old and her looks were no longer what Cheng Yunshuo wanted to see. She was even so old that he felt disgusted.

He had visited Qiu Ling and Ling Long in the past few days. Neither of them had aged as much as Li Bixi.

After the comparison, he felt even more resentful. He would rather spend the night with these familiar old people than stay at Li Bixi's place.

Of course, he never thought of comparing her with Lu Lingyun, because Lu Lingyun was his legal wife and she did not need her looks to consolidate her position in Cheng Yunshuo's heart.

At this moment, when Lu Lingyun asked him to stay in the yard for dinner, he agreed without hesitation.

Cheng Suying, who was standing aside, looked at her father who stayed behind, and she felt a little strange in her heart.

After Cheng Yunshuo finished his meal and went back to his own room to rest, Cheng Suying couldn't help but throw herself into Lu Lingyun's arms, "Mom, you are so right."

"What is true and what is false?"

"We have the strength, and father will never underestimate us. That concubine will never be able to compete with us." Cheng Suying said.

Hearing this, Lu Lingyun chuckled and stroked Cheng Siying's hair, "You are not right enough. We have our own strengths only for our own sake to live more easily and freely. If we have nothing and only rely on men to live, we will definitely suffer."

After hearing this, Cheng Suying fell into deep thought.

And at this time, Bishuiyuan.

Cheng Lanying was more anxious than her mother when she saw Cheng Yunshuo was late.

"My dad went to see that vixen again!"

"Second Miss, the prince has gone to have dinner with the young mistress."

When Cheng Lanying heard that Cheng Yunshuo went to Lu Lingyun's place, she immediately became furious.

If her father was with Qiu Ling or Ling Long, she would really dare to lose her temper, but in the mistress's yard, she dared not say a word.

Cheng Lanying snorted heavily, turned around and went into the house. As soon as she entered, she saw her mother sitting at the dining table with a frown on her face.

"Mom, Dad isn't coming, let's eat."

Li Bixi glanced at her and said, "Eat, eat, eat. All you know is to eat!"

"If Dad doesn't come, we will starve to death!"

Li Bixi was very anxious. She looked at her heartless daughter and scolded her, "Can't you think of a way to keep your father here?"

"Dad went to that yard! I don't have the ability to go to her yard and rob her. Mom, if you have the ability, go ahead and do it!"

Li Bixiang was so angry with her daughter again. How could she be so meticulous and give birth to a daughter who was just as stupid as her?

Li Bixi thought for a while and sighed, "Lanying, mother only has you and Bingzhi. In this mansion, only the three of us are connected by blood. You and mother are one."

When Cheng Lanying heard her mother's weak and feeble words, she immediately said, "Okay, okay, I'll go and catch him when Dad comes out of that yard."

Li Bixi's eyes lit up, "Lanying, you are such a good daughter. You must remember that men are always our support for survival. You must hold on to your father's love. You must act the way he likes you, and never make him angry."

Cheng Lanying curled her lips in disdain, "Tsk! Dad loves me, he likes me no matter what I am like!"

"Girl, do you still listen to your mother?"

Cheng Lanying was annoyed by her and got down from the table directly, "I'm going to go out and fetch Dad, Mom, you eat by yourself."

Cheng Yunshuo was walking out of Lu Lingyun's yard when he was stopped by someone halfway.

"Father!"

In the entire mansion, only Cheng Siying called him father and not dad.

As expected, he turned around and saw Cheng Suying, "What's wrong?"

"You forgot this." Cheng Suying winked at Caihe and handed Cheng Yunshuo's helmet to her, "You will have to wear it when you go on duty tomorrow."
