Chapter 351 The Luo Family Adds Makeup
As soon as this thought came to mind, Lu Yingxi's heart skipped a beat and she quickly shook it off.
Impossible, how could her son be a fool?
I must be overthinking it!
Looking at the girl who was smiling happily, Lu Yingxi couldn't help but feel disgusted.
This bastard shouldn't have been born into this world.
Not only was she born alive, she was such an eyesore!
Jiang Jinnian's gaze also moved between the two children, and her eyes suddenly became very strange.
When Qin Ge'er was born, she thought the child was too quiet. Even now, he hasn't changed much and is always silly and stupid.
Her mother always said that all children were like this, and Lu Yingxi also protected her child. Jiang Jinnian thought it was because she had never given birth to a child.
Now, she met a child younger than Qin Ge'er, who was much smarter than him.
This is a normal child, right?
A thought also popped up in her mind: Could Qin Ge'er be a fool?
Zijuan's savings were not abundant, and the dowry she could offer was not substantial either, but it was a token of her thoughtfulness.
She was able to give birth to the child smoothly thanks to Lu Zhiran's advice, and she was grateful to her.
On the other hand, Zijuan also has selfish thoughts in her heart.
Lu Zhiran has an extraordinary future. In the future, if her daughter can get a little bit of her love and protection, she will have no worries for the rest of her life.
Therefore, her intention in giving the dowry gift was very sincere.
Lu Zhiran accepted it with a smile.
Zijuan felt Lu Yingxi's murderous gaze and subconsciously hugged the child tighter.
She didn't stay any longer. After bowing, she hurried away with the child in her arms.
Lu Yingxi was filled with anger and said maliciously, "A little girl is not worthy of being brought out to show off. It's really embarrassing."
Lu Zhiran's expression faded. "You and I are both women. According to what my sister said, you and I are both shameful people?"
Lu Yingxi's expression froze slightly. "That's not what I meant. She's just a concubine's daughter, so naturally she can't be compared to you and me."
"Whether legitimate or illegitimate, they are all my father's offspring and the bloodline of the Lu family. Is it appropriate for my sister to say such things in the Lu family?"
Lu Yingxi was speechless.
Xiao Baozhu had long disliked her and started to scold her immediately.
"Today is Sister Ran's big day. If you have any spoiling words, please be patient. Otherwise, I will not tolerate it."
Lu Yingxi's face turned pale and blue. In the end, she could only hold the child and leave in disappointment. Jiang Jinnian naturally hurried to follow.
The annoying person finally left, and Xiao Baozhu snorted heavily.
"It's really disgusting."
Xing Chuxue's attention was focused on the children. She couldn't help but say, "Did you see just now? The two children look very different."
Several people nodded.
Ye Hanyi commented, "The Jiang family's kid seems a little... not very smart."
She said this in a subtle way. Everyone had just seen it and knew it clearly.
But he was just a child, and they didn't want to commit verbal offenses. It was not appropriate to say such things on such an important day, so they didn't continue the topic.
Without the annoying person, the atmosphere in the room gradually became harmonious.
At this moment, there was a loud sound of gongs and drums outside, and several people exclaimed "Huh".
"What's that noise outside? Is it the auspicious time?"
"It's still early."
Lu Zhiran was also puzzled, so he sent someone out to check.
Soon, a maid ran in with a happy face.
"Miss, good news! Your maternal grandparents, the Luo family, have sent someone to give you a dowry gift!"
Lu Zhiran's eyes suddenly flashed with joy.
Outside the long street, a huge team came from outside the city, led by Luo Guanlan.
Along the way, someone shouted loudly to the people on the street, "The Suhangluo family has added some makeup to Princess Jin!"
"A complete set of red gold and jewel-inlaid headgear, bringing everlasting wealth and prosperity!"
"Double jade bracelets, perfect and fulfilling!"
"Ten pieces of Song brocade, a beautiful marriage!"
"Four Scenes of Kesi Silk, Peace in All Seasons!"
"A red sandalwood dressing box, a boudoir of elegance!"
"Ten prosperous shops, making a fortune every day!"
"Fertile land leads to abundant offspring!"
…
The lyrics were sung all the way from the city gate to the gate of Lu's mansion, without stopping or repeating, which made the people stare in amazement.
This generous dowry blocked the door of the Lu Mansion and it was unable to hold any more.
Lu Guanxuan was already happy today, and the current situation made him even more proud. The gloom of recent days was swept away, and his face was almost broken with smiles.
When Fang saw this, she couldn't laugh.
It would be great if such a generous dowry gift was for her daughter!
In the past, Fang could still imagine that she could control Lu Zhiran and take all her things for herself, but now, she no longer dared to think about it at all.
She had to admit that she could not defeat Lu Zhiran.
When Lu Zhiran heard the maid's report and the noisy singing outside, a gleam of tears appeared in her eyes.
What she cares about is not these things, but the importance and thoughtfulness.
At this time, the maid came hurriedly to report.
"Miss, Old Master Luo, Old Madam Luo, and Madam Luo are all here!"
Lu Zhiran stood up from her seat, her face full of disbelief.
She repeatedly asked the maid for confirmation before finally confirming that it was her grandparents and aunt Ma who had come.
The last time we met was the year my mother passed away.
She was still young at the time, and a lifetime had passed since then, so her memories were a little fuzzy, but when she heard they were coming, her emotions got a little out of control.
She stood up and was about to go out, but was hurriedly stopped by the matchmaker.
Lu Guanxuan didn't expect that his father-in-law and mother-in-law would come, so he immediately welcomed them in respectfully, and his words and gestures were filled with unconscious flattery.
The Luo family is so rich, it would be great if he could benefit from it.
Besides, they are his elders, so it is not excessive for him to be humble to them.
Seeing this, Fang felt even more unhappy, but she could only force a smile, feeling extremely aggrieved.
Old Master Luo and Old Madam Luo are nearly sixty years old, but they are still energetic and look very healthy.
The two elders were somewhat cold towards Lu Guanxuan, and only showed superficial courtesy.
It was inconvenient for Old Master Luo and Luo Guanlan to go to the inner courtyard, but Old Madam Luo and Madam Luo's eldest wife Ma had no such concerns, so they went directly to the inner courtyard.
Lu Zhiran's eyes were glued to the door. When she heard the noise outside, she immediately stepped forward and said, "Grandma, aunt."
Her grandmother looked much older than she remembered, and her figure was much more hunched.
Old Madam Luo hurriedly grabbed her hand, tears streaming down her face before she could say a word.
"Sister Ran..."
Seeing this, Lu Zhiran finally couldn't hold back the tears she had been trying so hard to hold back.
Ma also wiped the corners of her eyes and quickly spoke to smooth things over.
"Today is Sister Ran's big day, you can't cry."
Only then did the two of them stop crying.
Noticing that the old woman's fingers were a little cold, Lu Zhiran hurriedly ordered someone to bring her a hand warmer.
"It's freezing outside, but my grandmother has to travel thousands of miles to come and see me off. It's really hard work."
Madam Luo smiled and said, "We sailed all the way to the capital, and with Prince Jin's guards escorting us, the officials along the way didn't dare to make things difficult for us. It was very smooth, and I didn't suffer any hardship."
