Chapter 150 The Zhou Family Came to Me
When Gu Congyun heard this, he suddenly didn't want to be polite to him anymore.
"Really? That's a rare thing."
Gu Congyun leaned back, obviously a little impatient.
Master Lu could feel that the other party's attitude had changed.
However, he knew about the conflicts between the Zhou and Gu families, so he was not surprised.
"Isn't the Duke curious? What does he want to do with me?"
Tutor Lu’s meaning is very clear. Everything can be negotiated, but it also depends on who you discuss it with.
If the Gu family hadn't discussed it with him, he might have turned around and gone to the Zhou family.
"We don't care about the Zhou family's affairs. Master Taifu seems to be overthinking it. Besides, this is a matter between you two, and it has nothing to do with our Gu family. Over the years, our Gu family has never been involved in other people's private affairs, let alone forming cliques. Master Taifu, there is no need to keep us in suspense."
Gu Congyun's words finally broke down Master Lu's defenses.
"I just hope that the Little Medical Immortal can visit the Lu family. Is such a request difficult?"
Gu Congyun answered directly, "Yes, it's difficult. I've already said it softly. She's not well-versed in gynecology. Why is the Grand Tutor forcing her?"
Master Lu was silent. He didn't expect that after saying so much, not only did he not get a positive answer, but he even hadn't seen Gu Ruanci until now.
"Could you please ask the county lady to come out for a moment? I still want to talk to her in person."
Master Lu could only rely on his seniority, even though the Gu family’s refusal was obvious.
Gu Congyun looked at Zhuang Hefeng, and Zhuang Hefeng looked at Gu Yutang.
"Of course..."
In the end, Gu Congyun still said something and then asked someone to pass the message on.
When Gu Ruanci knew that Tutor Lu was coming into the mansion, she had already made preparations.
When she heard the visitor talk about what happened in the front hall, she even wanted to laugh.
This Master Lu really thinks he is a big shot and actually wants to use the Zhou family to threaten them?
Zhou Zhili's reputation has become so bad now that the Ye family has no way to stay out of it. Is Master Lu getting senile and confused?
Or does he really think that since he has taught the emperor, he can influence the emperor's decision?
When she arrived at the front hall, she saw that Master Lu's expression was particularly gloomy.
"Greetings, Master Taifu."
Gu Ruanci did not act arrogantly. After all, the other party's seniority and rank were there.
When Master Lu saw Gu Ruanci, he looked at him carefully.
Although Gu Ruanci had been to the Lu family's banquet, it was all hosted by Lu Shuyi. As a respected male member of the Lu family, there was no need for him to show up.
During the palace banquet, he did not attend because he thought it was too noisy. Later, when he found out that Gu Ruanci was actually the Little Medical Fairy, he felt a little regretful.
If he had been there, he might have been able to gain some favor from the emperor and let Gu Ruanci help Lu Shuyi recuperate.
"This is the Princess of Chaoyang County. She is indeed full of vigor and vigor, and exudes an air of heroism."
Tutor Lu's compliment did not make Gu Ruanci lose his compliment.
She said, "Thank you for the compliments, Master Taifu. I heard that Master Taifu specifically asked to see me. It's not to express these words of appreciation, right?"
Taifu Lu immediately shook his head. "Of course not. I simply admire the Little Medical Fairy's charisma, so I'm relying on my old face to come and ask for help. I hope the Little Medical Fairy can help my granddaughter-in-law get pregnant."
Gu Ruanci glanced at him with a somewhat mysterious smile.
"What is the Chaoyang County Princess laughing at?"
Master Lu knew that she would not agree easily. He had already asked Lu Shuyi, and there were indeed some misunderstandings between them because of Lu Wenxue.
"Master Taifu is already at an age where he should be enjoying his retirement, so why is he still so worried about his grandchildren? What's more strange to me is that the Lu family should have the Taifu, or at least the Madam. The eldest princess's difficult pregnancy should be handled by the rear house, not by Master Taifu."
Master Lu blushed a little. If they were effective, why would he come here in person?
"Let's put all that aside. The eldest princess is, after all, a member of the royal family, and married into the Lu family. Shouldn't her family be the one to worry about a woman's childbearing? Right now, the palace is completely quiet, and even the Empress hasn't contacted me. Why is the Grand Tutor so anxious?"
Master Lu felt even more uncomfortable. In order to reject him, the Princess of Chaoyang County actually told him all kinds of rules.
"Besides, Taifu Lu's grandson, Lu Hongbo, not only has the eldest princess as his wife, but also several concubines. If a concubine becomes pregnant, the child will be raised by the principal wife. The eldest princess is a precious girl, and she has been spared the pain and danger of pregnancy and childbirth. Her status as a royal family will guarantee her a lifetime of prosperity. Why should she worry about whether the child is her own?"
Master Lu already understood that she just didn't want to help and these were just excuses.
"What the County Lady said is just common sense. But the eldest princess has been diligent and conscientious since marrying into the Lu family. We in the Lu family all know that she wants a child of her own. However, after that miscarriage, she hasn't conceived again. The Empress naturally thinks that the County Lady has done a great job in treating the Crown Prince, so she doesn't want to pressure her to treat the eldest princess. My reputation is worthless anyway, so asking for help is fine."
Gu Ruanci was actually getting a little impatient listening to him talking nonsense.
Given what Lu Shuyi had done before, she would never lend a helping hand to Lu Shuyi.
"Master Taifu, I understand what you mean. The premise for you to let me treat the eldest princess is that I have the ability to do so. But as I said before, I know very little about gynecology. My senior brother is much better than me in this area. If he can't solve it, then naturally I can't either."
Master Lu knew that she was just trying to shirk responsibility, so he said, "After all, the county lady is a little medical fairy..."
"This title was passed down by others, not given to me by myself. If the Grand Tutor feels that I am unable to heal the eldest princess and therefore unworthy of this title, I have no objection."
Master Lu's path was completely blocked by Gu Ruanci, and he couldn't attack at all.
Seeing that Gu Ruanci was so calm despite being young, Master Lu knew that he had underestimated his enemy.
He thought that because of his status, the Gu family would definitely give him this face, but he didn't expect that the Gu family's attitude would leave him no room for maneuver and reject him so bluntly.
"It seems that I am bothering you today. In that case, I will take my leave."
Tutor Lu left the Gu family with a dark face, but this result did not worry Gu Runci.
If because of this incident, Master Lu colluded with the Zhou family and forced him to do something, then he, as a Master, would be no exception.
"I'm afraid today's incident will not be so easy to resolve..." Zhuang Hefeng finally said.
Gu Yutang said, "Don't worry, mother. If Taifu Lu's actions affect my younger sister's medical treatment for Prince Duan, Taifu Mo will not agree."
