Chapter 346: Eat the Fruit
“Pah pah pah…”
Xier moves a little quickly.
Lu Wan had no time to dodge.
I just felt a chill, and two big red slap marks were left on my cheeks.
It hurts so much.
She wanted to fight back, but when she saw the look in her aunt's eyes, she backed off.
Look at the little girl next to the old lady. The child called her grandma, so she must be the money-losing child born by Lu Qingyao.
Just like her mother, wild and vulgar.
Lu Wan looked at the little girl with a cold gaze, and was glared back by Madam Lu.
Lu Zhiyun was moved and went forward to hug Miaomiao.
Even her younger sister knew to stand up for her, so how could she have the face to give up on herself?
Mrs. Lu smiled from ear to ear, "Good, good, this is the daughter of my Lu family."
The little granddaughter is a little fierce, but she has the demeanor of a daughter of a general. She is so cute.
Although he is not of the Lu family's bloodline, he really looks like a child of the Lu family.
Xier pinched the hot palm of her hand.
I hit myself too hard just now and it hurt.
Only she knew why the young master was so brave as to beat Lu Wan. It was because she knew she had her mother's support.
There is no doubt that the little girl will complain to Princess Yuqing when she returns.
Lu Wan covered her face and gritted her teeth, looking at Lu Zhiyun. "If you don't marry into the Shen family and don't have the protection of Concubine Shu, do you think the rumors will disappear over time? No, the Fang family will never swallow this. There are so many people who hate the Lu family. They won't stop until they have ruined your reputation."
A hint of panic flashed in Lu Zhiyun's eyes.
If she had not experienced exile, she would not be afraid, after all, she has the confidence.
But an unexpected event seemed to break her down and reshape her.
Like a frightened deer, she is always worried about gains and losses.
But when she saw the determined eyes of her grandmother and sister, she seemed to have gained strength in an instant and was no longer afraid.
I feel more confident.
She looked at Lu Wan with a firm gaze, "Then let them come. I will accompany you to the end."
"I'm afraid they don't have that chance." Lu Qingyao's voice came from the door.
"Mother..." Jiang Miaomiao rushed over and threw herself into Lu Qingyao's arms, pointing at the smug Lu Wan, "Mother, this person who claims to be my aunt is here to force me to marry again."
Lu Qingyao wanted to laugh. The little girl spoke in a very coherent way.
He patted his daughter's head and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid. No one will dare to come to your house and force you to get married again."
Little Miaomiao nodded, not quite understanding.
Looking at the smiles in A Niang and Aunt Xiu Xiu's eyes, I was afraid that good things were going to happen.
When Lu Qingyao turned around, she noticed the red marks on Lu Wan's face and thought she was beaten by her mother.
Somewhat helplessly, he said, "Lu Wan, you only remember the food and not the beating. Did you talk back to my mother again?"
Lu Wan: ...
She felt that she had been very respectful today, and had come to ask for marriage on behalf of the Shen family with sincerity.
They don't know what's good for them.
"Sister Yao, I'm sure you heard what I just said. I'm doing this for Sister Yun'er's own good. Please try to persuade her."
Lu Qingyao smiled and said, "Wan'er, I have good news for you. I guess you don't know yet that the Shen and Fang families were reported by the Imperial Censor. They said that the two families abused their power to bully others, wantonly spread rumors and slander, destroyed the innocence of our Lu family's daughters, and forced the Lu family to marry their daughters. The Emperor was furious and reprimanded the Shen and Fang families. He also granted a marriage to Young Master Shen and Fifth Master Fang. From now on, you don't have to jump around to arrange a marriage for the Shen family."
Lu Wan froze for a moment, staring at Lu Qingyao with wide eyes, "Impossible, absolutely impossible, I don't believe it."
It is such a great honor to be granted marriage by the emperor.
It's okay for Young Master Shen, but how could the emperor grant a marriage to that fool from the Fang family?
Isn't this harming the girl?
The emperor must have a grudge against a certain family to give the girl to him.
Lu Qingyao raised her eyes and glanced at her. "Believe it or not, just go to the Shen family and ask and you'll know."
She originally wanted to ask Mrs. Du about the rumors, but then she met Nanny Feng who came to see her.
Nanny told her not to worry, the princess had already found a good match for Master Shen and Master Fang Wu.
I don’t know what tricks the princess used, but I heard that the court was in chaos early in the morning.
After some inquiries, I learned that the so-called good match was an arranged marriage.
Jiang Miaomiao smelled the scent of gossip and refused to leave the room, insisting on eavesdropping openly.
The three little guys sat together, motionless, staring at Lu Qingyao intently.
Although she didn't believe it, Lu Wan still asked, "Which two girls are you referring to?"
"Why don't you go ask Madam Shen yourself? The Lu family's marriage proposal didn't work out, but you've been working so hard for the Shen family. I think she'll be grateful to you."
Lu Wan felt mixed emotions.
If that were true, then all her efforts would have been in vain.
Shen Mansion.
Duke Shen returned home with a gloomy face.
He was impeached by the censor and reprimanded by the emperor, and the reason was just to arrange a marriage for his son.
It’s just that the girl from the Lu family who proposed marriage was stigmatized.
His family only wanted to prove her innocence before marrying her.
He was actually scolded by the emperor.
What's wrong with a physical examination?
Even if my daughter, Concubine Shu, really wants to win over the Lu family, she can't really marry her son to a piece of trash.
The emperor even exaggerated the matter.
He was simply worried that the empress and court officials would form a clique.
The old emperor is really old. No one trusts him and everyone is suspicious of him.
The only person I trust, Cui Yan, is still single.
He calls me "my dear" all the time, but his heart is more calculating than the concubines in the harem.
On the way back home, I took the opportunity to chat with Lord Fang.
When she returned home, Mrs. Shen had already received the emperor's edict in advance.
She stood and walked back and forth in the inner courtyard, her face filled with worry, extremely worried!
Seeing Duke Shen coming home, she hurriedly picked up the hem of her skirt and trotted to greet him, "My Lord Duke, you're finally back. The eunuch just came to deliver the decree, saying that the Emperor has granted my son a marriage with Princess Fuying. Princess Fuying is a widowed and fierce woman, not only as strong as an ox, but also cruel and ruthless. I heard... I heard that her ex-husband kept a mistress without her knowledge, and when she found out, he was beaten to death and died within a year."
Madam Shen became more and more frightened as she spoke, and she clutched Duke Shen's sleeve tightly.
She felt that Lady Fuying was her son's nemesis.
Duke Shen patted his wife's hand and said, "Don't be afraid. Whatever happens to the county lady, she is still a woman. No matter how powerful a woman is, she still has to marry and obey her husband. How can she go to heaven?"
Having said that, both husband and wife knew the truth.
The emperor did it on purpose, deliberately finding such a daughter-in-law for the Shen family to warn him.
I'm afraid my daughter will be neglected in the palace for a while.
But the son has already been married, and there is no room for maneuver.
But my daughter's marriage has not been arranged yet.
There are many families of equal status who are suitable for her, but the girl just fell in love with that boy Zhou Mu.
Although he looks like a nice person with a handsome appearance, he is honest and loyal, so he is easy to control.
It’s a pity that Zhou Mu is not the eldest son and has nothing to do with the title of marquis.
Mrs. Shen asked, "So your daughter's marriage is really agreed to the Zhou family?"
"Let's settle it first. Our daughter has no choice but to marry a man of lower status now." Otherwise, the emperor will become suspicious of her again.
Duke Shen originally looked down on the Zhou family, but then this incident happened.
It’s all the fault of the Fang family.
In order to marry a fool, he destroyed the girl's innocence and used such despicable means.
Now he is also being dragged into the water.
It's really hateful.
