Chapter 22 He is really blind
Chu Dingfeng was very insistent. "Mrs. Lu must show up. She's been waiting for you for three years. As soon as you return triumphantly, you marry someone new and ignore the old one. How will others view you? Not only must Mrs. Lu attend, but you must also make sure she treats her well. You absolutely cannot let anyone find fault with you."
Upon hearing this, Jiang was speechless.
Chu Yian still couldn't bring himself to say anything, "Women shouldn't be spoiled. If I give in to her, I'm afraid she will become even more lawless."
Chu Dingfeng stroked his beard. "She's throwing a tantrum in front of you because she cares about you. If you don't really want to divorce her, you should give her some sweet treats and keep her hanging. That's the only way to maintain peace in the backyard. Zhao Shuning's dominance isn't a good thing either."
Chu Yian's face was firm. "Father, Shu Ning and I are truly in love. There is no room for another woman between us."
Chu Dingfeng scowled angrily, "You are foolish! A man should never worry about not having a wife. How can you favor only one person? Moreover, the Marquis's Mansion needs you to have more children. You must keep the Lu family stable."
Chu Yian pursed his lips and said nothing, his disgust towards Lu Zhiran increasing even more.
Chu Dingfeng naturally saw that his son was unhappy, but he had his own considerations.
If the story between Lu and the emperor is true, then their mansion must do a good job of winning over Lu.
It is impossible for the emperor to do such a thing as forcibly taking someone else's wife. At most, he would do it secretly.
As long as Lu's heart is still with An'er, they can get benefits from the emperor through Lu, so An'er must hold this chess piece firmly in his hand.
After returning to Yusheng Residence, Danyan and Cuifu finally spoke with grievance.
"You used to treat the Marquis and his wife so well, and they kept saying they treated you like their own daughter. But now that Madam Ning has come into the family, everything has changed."
"Yes, they used to like you so much, but now they have no trust in you at all. Their words are full of blame. It's really chilling!"
Lu Zhiran looked calm, "Silly girl, what they like is not me, but my money."
This was a truth that took her two lifetimes to understand.
Seeing their faces again now, Lu Zhiran was not angry at all.
Not worth it.
Upon hearing her words, Cui Fu and Dan Yan felt so sad that they almost shed tears, but in order to prevent their young lady from being sad, they could only hold it back.
Dan Yan wiped away the tears from her eyes and said, "I will make you some midnight snack. Eat well and have a good sleep, and you won't be sad anymore."
Cui Fu laughed at her, "Are you trying to please the young lady, or are you just greedy?"
Dan Yan's cheeks flushed slightly, and she reached out to pinch her, "Don't talk nonsense."
After such laughter and joking, the depression just now was swept away.
Danyan, this little foodie, is indeed a good cook and is willing to spend time and energy on food.
It took her half an hour to serve a bowl of eel noodles. It looked watery at first glance, but the soup base was actually the old chicken soup that had been stewed on the stove during the day. Lu Zhiran was not hungry, but the smell of the delicious aroma aroused her appetite.
After eating a bowl of noodles, she felt comfortable all over, and Danyan herself ate so much that her belly was full.
After a short rest, Nanny Jin went to prepare the bath water, and Lu Zhiran took a comfortable hot bath.
She lay on the bathtub, Cui Fu and Dan Yan combed her hair and washed her hair, while the other rubbed her back and gave her a massage.
The skin on her back was smooth and delicate, like a peeled egg, with an orange glow and tiny water droplets rolling down, making it as moist as dewy jade petals.
Her long black hair, flowing like a waterfall, forms a sharp contrast with her snow-white skin, which catches the eye with a breathtaking beauty.
Even though they have watched it for many years, Cui Fu and Dan Yan still can't help but sigh.
"Miss, you are so beautiful. If I were a man, I would be so fascinated by you that I would be unable to walk."
"My uncle cannot see your beauty; he is truly blind."
Lu Zhiran smiled faintly.
She was indeed beautiful, but in Chu Yian's eyes, she was just a hollow wooden beauty, far inferior to Zhao Shuning's heroic spirit.
Lu Zhiran closed her eyes and took a nap. The room was filled with mist, and her heartstrings were particularly relaxed. She felt comfortable and relaxed.
Cui Fu and Dan Yan's movements were very delicate and gentle, for fear of hurting her in the slightest.
After bathing, she was smeared with perfume on her body and her hair was moisturized with osmanthus oil. The whole process took more than half an hour.
Lu Zhiran was wearing a hibiscus-colored inner dress. She felt stuffy because there was nothing inside without any undergarments. Her figure was so vague that it made people blush.
Nanny Jin cried out, "Ouch!" "You don't wear small clothes, it won't look good when you get older."
Lu Zhiran acted coquettishly, "I've been wearing it all day and it's so tight, let me loosen it up at night."
Nanny Jin took out her small dress and gestured for a moment, "This one is too small again. I'll make you a few more tomorrow. Miss, your figure is truly first-rate."
There was an unconcealable pride in his tone, and Lu Zhiran couldn't help but blush.
She turned to the main business and asked, "Nanny, has the ginseng I asked you to sell last time been sold?"
Her memories of her previous life were a little vague, and she was not sure of the exact date when the old man of the Xing family fell ill.
Nanny Jin immediately said, "I will go find Fugui and ask him."
Lu Zhiran originally wanted to say that there was no rush tonight and that there would be time to ask tomorrow, but Nanny Jin had already left in a hurry.
She yawned slightly, feeling sleepy.
Just as I was lying comfortably on the bed and preparing to go to sleep, I heard the somewhat panicked and surprised voice of the night watch maid outside.
"Uncle, why are you here?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhiran immediately sat up with the quilt in her arms, and all the relaxation in her body disappeared completely.
Why is he here again?
Danyan hurried out to check the situation, while Cuifu quickly brought clothes. What would happen if the son-in-law rushed in and saw his young lady in this state?
Lu Zhiran changed her clothes again with a feeling of resentment, wrapping herself tightly.
Too lazy to put on makeup, she just tied her hair into a simple bun. Her long hair fell softly in front of her chest like a waterfall. Her skin was as white and translucent as pearls and jade. Just one look at her could make people feel uneasy.
She stepped out from the inner room, and Chu Yian's eyes fell on her uncontrollably. A faint fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose, making his heart restless.
He quickly looked away, his face becoming a little colder.
"No matter how fancy you dress up, I won't even look at you. Don't play tricks like that in front of me."
Lu Zhiran:?
"What brings you here uninvited in the middle of the night?"
She emphasized the words "late at night" and "uninvited" so that he could figure out whose yard it was.
Chu Yian suppressed his impatience and spoke in a compassionate tone.
"I came here to tell you that you can attend the wedding banquet between Shu Ning and me in three days. You don't have to continue to be confined to your house."
Lu Zhiran almost laughed out of anger, "It's just a small matter, is it worth the trouble for you to go there in person in the middle of the night?"
Ruined her good mood for no reason!
