Chapter 141 A gathering of enemies
Lu Wenxue's eyes lit up. She had never thought of this before.
However, she remembered what Concubine Wen said and became alert again.
She knew that Lu Shuyi told her all this simply because she wanted to use her identity to make her father do something to deal with Gu Ruanci. In any case, the emperor and the empress dowager would not really do anything to her father in the end.
It has to be said that this princess is also an ungrateful person.
She glossed over it and the two of them started talking about other things.
When the Lu family members arrived, Lu Hongbo came over and asked Lu Shuyi to join them.
Lu Shuyi did not refuse. She was used to it. How could a princess who was married without a mother have the qualifications to complain to the queen?
Her heart was always full of complaints, and she never mentioned that she had insisted on marrying Gu Yutang but failed, and in a fit of anger she married Lu Hongbo.
She glanced in the direction of Gu Yutang, the throbbing she felt back then was still there, but she also felt even more unwilling.
When she noticed that Gu Ruanci was so intimate with Gu Yutang, she felt even more uncomfortable.
Although they are brother and sister, they are not familiar with each other after all. Gu Yutang has only been back for a few days. How can he be so nice to Gu Ruanci?
"Gu Ruanci, you really deserve to die..."
Lu Hongbo didn't pay attention to these things. He was about to go back after calling her.
When he found that Lu Shuyi was not following him, he turned back hesitantly and found out what Lu Shuyi was looking at at the moment.
He felt sick in his heart. His woman, even if she was a princess, was actually looking at other men.
He knew what happened between the eldest princess and Gu Yutang, so he dared to be so presumptuous after marriage.
Anyway, as long as he told this matter, Lu Shuyi would give in.
"Princess, if you want to say hello, I don't mind."
His words made Lu Shuyi realize that she had just lost her composure.
She quickly explained, "It's been a long time since I last saw General Gu, so I didn't recognize him."
Lu Hongbo didn't say anything, turned around and continued walking forward.
In Lu Wenxue's eyes, this kind of communication is no longer surprising.
Who in Mandizhou doesn’t know what happened back then?
It is unprecedented that the emperor can withstand this pressure and respect the wishes of his subjects.
Lu Wenxue returned to her seat. After what happened with Lu Shuyi, she felt much more balanced.
Compared to herself, Lu Shuyi was the one who was more angry.
This time, Princess Duan did not let Concubine Wen come, but instead allowed another concubine in the mansion, Concubine Feng, to accompany her. This was a warning to Concubine Wen.
Concubine Feng's brother was a guard of Prince Duan. He died to protect Prince Duan. Under the arrangement of Princess Duan, Concubine Feng was allowed to enter the prince's palace.
She also gave birth to a son, Lu Enru, for Prince Duan. His presence in Prince Duan's mansion has been extremely low over the years. However, Concubine Wen once warned Lu Ennan and Lu Wenxue that they should also be careful of those who hide their abilities, as they might show their fangs one day and bite someone to death.
This time, Lu Wenxue made too much trouble, causing Concubine Wen to be targeted by Princess Duan. Concubine Feng actually did not refuse Princess Duan's request to take her into the palace to attend the banquet. It seems that she can no longer hide it.
"Brother, look at Lu Enru, he looks like he has never seen the world before. Do you think he is genuine or just pretending..."
Lu Wenxue asked in a low voice, her tone a little frivolous.
Lu Ennan didn't even glance at Lu Enru, and said intuitively, "Hasn't it been like this all these years? Why bother worrying about whether he's pretending or not? It's always right to take precautions as if he's pretending. Even if it takes a little more energy, it's better than being careless and not being able to react in time after being tricked."
Lu Wenxue nodded, stood up and walked to Lu Enru.
"Third brother, you rarely enter the palace. If there is anything you don't understand, just ask me."
Lu Enru was very simple from head to toe. Although he was a son of a prince, his mother was not favored. After all, it was the guards' duty to protect the prince with their lives. Back then, Princess Duan used this to ask my father to bring my mother into the palace. Prince Duan was not happy. Although he had not treated them harshly over the years, they were not close enough.
"Thank you, little sister. I'm fine."
"You're welcome. We're all family."
Lu Wenxue's tone seemed to imply something.
When Lu Enyan came over, she quickly stood up.
She was really afraid of this moody elder brother.
But the good news is that he is about to die. All the doctors are helpless and now he can only wait for death.
She glanced at Prince Duan and couldn't help but feel more satisfied with her father.
When Xiao Yixian was in the Five Dragons Palace, his father did not send anyone to help Lu Enyan, which meant he tacitly agreed to lose his son.
"Enru is a man. It's not your place to get involved in anything he doesn't understand. And how can you be sure he doesn't understand anything?"
Princess Duan's words put even more pressure on Lu Wenxue.
She quickly lowered her head and said, "Yes, I know I was wrong..."
She returned to Lu Ennan in a low-key manner, hiding all her resentment.
When the Ye family arrived, Ye Keguan and Pan both looked visibly older.
The dowry that was collected and returned to Gu Ruanci had caused the entire Ye family to be in great trouble.
If it weren’t for Ye Chengchu, a business genius, we wouldn’t know how to plug some of the holes.
Naturally, Mrs. Pan did not look happy when she saw Gu Ruanci's words.
Zhou Yuxiu hurriedly took his brothers and sisters to say hello, but Zhou Yuqi didn't move at all.
Ye Keguan noticed Zhou Yuqi standing there in a daze and sighed.
"Don't let him come over on days like this. Aren't you just trying to make him suffer?"
"He wanted to come on his own. Even though his father was furious, he still insisted..."
Zhou Yuxiu immediately explained that he couldn't figure this out either.
The third brother's previous pride has turned into stubbornness.
In the past, he would not have moved forward knowing that he was being humiliated.
"Never mind. He's in a bad mood. Let him be."
Ye Keguan didn't say anything else and simply asked about their recent lives.
As a result, when they weren't paying attention, Zhou Yuqi stood up.
When he came up to them, no one noticed.
"Grandfather..."
When Zhou Yuqi suddenly appeared before his eyes like a ghost, Ye Keguan was startled.
"Third brother, are you walking without making any sound?" Zhou Yuxiu was also surprised.
"I have something to ask my grandfather."
Zhou Yuqi's eyes were fixed, which made Ye Keguan feel a little uneasy.
Zhou Yuxiu probably already knew what he wanted to ask, and quickly said, "What happened back then can't be explained in a few words. Don't make a fuss here. Let's go home and talk after the palace banquet."
As a result, Zhou Yuqi seemed not to hear it, but still asked.
"Grandfather, the person who went through so much trouble to invite Nan Xian to teach me the art of zither, was it my mother or my grandmother?"
