Chapter 368 Don’t Think Too Good
Chu Jinyan stared at Chu Qingyun with an expression filled with anger.
He hasn't even been able to marry Lu Xiang yet, but the third brother has already managed to get Miss Chen.
"Since the Chen family has agreed, why are you in such a hurry? Just wait for an opportunity to bring it up to your father." Chu Jinyan said.
Chu Qingyun: "Of course I'm anxious. I finally got the duck in my mouth. What if I don't marry her quickly and she flies away?"
Duck……
Does Miss Chen know that you described her like this?
"I know. Let's talk about it after you're out of house arrest." It would be inappropriate for him to raise this matter with his father, so he would have to go to his mother when the time comes.
Chu Qingyun looked unhappy: "Do we have to wait until the confinement is over?"
Chu Jinyan sneered: "What else? Do you think your father can grant you a marriage during your confinement?"
If a person is beautiful, don't think of him or her as being too beautiful.
Chu Qingyun touched his nose and stopped talking.
It seems like it’s a bit too much!
"Okay, then don't forget it." Chu Qingyun warned seriously, then stood up: "Now that we've finished talking, I'll go back first. If I'm discovered, I'll be in trouble."
Haha, you know that too?
Chu Jinyan said "Okay" and asked Sheng Xian to send him out.
Looking at the bright sunny day outside with the sun hanging high in the sky, I felt even more irritated.
I can't go to the Lu family during the day, I can only wait until night...
The Lu family doesn't have many relatives in the capital. The closest one is the second daughter Lu Yao's in-laws, the Zhou family. The old lady solemnly sent an invitation to Mrs. Zhou, and Mrs. Zhou arrived early with her daughter-in-law Lu Yao.
What surprised the old lady was that Marquis Wu'an also came with his two daughters. His son He Zhiyi had stayed at home for half a month and had already returned to the military camp.
"Madam Lu, we are here uninvited. Please forgive us." When the wife of Marquis Wu'an saw the old lady, she said politely and respectfully, "My Yan'er has a close relationship with Miss Lu San. Today is her coming of age. We have to come and congratulate her on such an important day."
The old lady knew that her granddaughter had a good relationship with Miss He, but she was also aware that the wife of Marquis Wu'an did not like the eldest daughter born to the first wife. However, since she came to congratulate her on her own initiative, she had no reason to drive her away.
What's more, the other party is the Marquis's wife, and she doesn't have the courage to do that.
"It is a great honor for our humble home to have the wife of Marquis Wu'an here. Please come in."
The wife of Marquis Wu'an smiled and nodded to the old lady, then sat next to Madam Zhou.
Mrs. Zhou would naturally not miss such an opportunity to make friends with the Marquis's wife. Regardless of whether the Marquis's wife was willing to chat with her or not, she kept finding topics to talk about.
Marquis Wu'an is not just an empty title blessed by his ancestors, but he actually holds an official position, Jingzhao Yin, so this Marquis Wu'an is a very influential marquis in the capital. In the past, because his only son was missing, he lacked confidence and was slightly suppressed by the second branch. At that time, everyone was guessing that the title might end up falling on the second branch. But now that his son has been found, Marquis He's back straightened up immediately. The second branch's daughter became an unlucky person and was avoided by everyone, and she could no longer jump up.
The wife of Marquis Wu'an was aware that her status was different now, and she was very disdainful to pay attention to Madam Zhou, but she particularly enjoyed the feeling of being sought after. So she straightened her back and chatted with Madam Zhou from time to time, looking superior.
She was forced to come here today by her own master, otherwise there would be no need for her to go and congratulate the daughter of a mere minister on her coming-of-age day. But Lu Xiang was ungrateful and unwilling to introduce her daughter to the daughter of the Duke of Anguo or the Queen, but had a good relationship with that little bitch He Zhiyan.
But the Marquis was attracted by this point, so he asked her to bring He Zhiyan with her no matter what.
He guessed that given the Queen's love for Lu Xiang, there might be some decree from her on such an important day.
When the people around the Empress saw her going to congratulate them, they would understand that they had a close relationship with Lu Xiang.
This is one of them.
The second reason is that He Yu saw how much the Eighth Prince valued Lu Youping, so when his legitimate daughter came of age, his wife went to the Lu family, which also showed a kind of attitude.
Everybody is working for the Eighth Prince. Even though he is a marquis now, who knows if things will change for the better.
After all, the Eighth Prince had his eyes on his son, and his attitude towards him was actually indifferent.
However, Lu Youping was favored by the Eighth Prince. Just for this reason, He Yu felt that he had to have a good relationship with Lu Youping.
How could Lu Youping have known that Marquis Wu'an could come up with so many ideas by himself? How come he didn't realize that the Eighth Prince was particularly fond of him?
So when he heard that the wife of Marquis Wu'an was coming, he was flattered.
Although Qiao Jingru was going to divorce Lu Chao, she couldn't break her friendship with Lu Xiang. Although they couldn't be sisters-in-law, they were still friends. So after asking Lu Xiang and obtaining the old lady's consent, Mrs. Qiao came with her.
Wen Ruoxi was pregnant, so Mrs. Qiao considered it and let her stay at home. However, Wen Ruoxi prepared a coming-of-age gift for Lu Xiang, which was presented by Qiao Jingru on her behalf.
"Greetings to the old lady, may the old lady live long." Mrs. Qiao smiled and saluted to the old lady.
When the old lady saw Mrs. Qiao, she was both delighted and guilty, and she enthusiastically took her hand and sat down.
"Greetings, grandma." Qiao Jingru bowed and called softly.
As long as Lu Chao did not agree to divorce, she would not be considered to have completely severed ties with the Lu family. Moreover, there were outsiders present today. After much thought, Mrs. Qiao decided not to embarrass the Lu family on such an important day.
Otherwise, it’s better not to come.
Lu Chao is a bastard, but the old lady and Lu Xiang have always been good to their daughters, especially Lu Xiang. Madam Qiao can't ruin her good life.
When the old lady heard the word "grandmother", she smiled so much that even the wrinkles on her face revealed kindness and tenderness: "Hey, Xiangxiang is in Qixia Courtyard, go ahead."
Seeing this, Mrs. Qiao couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
The daughter finally gained recognition from the entire Lu family. She was loved by her grandmother, respected by her father-in-law, and liked by her aunt. She was not suppressed by her stepmother, and the entire Lu family was in charge of her. If she could live a good life like this, it would be very comfortable.
If Lu Chao could really mend his ways...
But in the final analysis, it all depends on my daughter. No matter what decision she makes, the Qiao family will be her strongest support.
"Yes." Qiao Jingru responded and turned to leave.
He Zhiyan stood up at this time: "I'll go too." Then, she bowed to the old lady and said: "Old lady, I'll go see the third young lady too."
Lu Xiang waited for the auspicious time to arrive before coming out to be congratulated by the elders.
Qiao Jingru then waited for He Zhiyan to come together.
He Zhimin was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly bowed and chased after him.
"Sister, sister, wait for me."
He Zhiyan stopped and turned to look at her: "What's wrong?"
He Zhimin pouted and looked at He Zhiyan in dissatisfaction: "Eldest sister wants to see the third young lady, why didn't you ask me to go with you."
