Chapter 48 This daughter was not raised in vain
After all, she was the one who took the initiative to plot against Zhao Shuning.
Although she was fighting back, it would definitely leave a bad impression in the eyes of Emperor Defeng.
Xiao Baozhu was very angry. "Are we just going to let it go like this? I really can't stand people like her."
Jiang Nansheng: "Leave this to Ah Ci, he's good at it."
Xiao Yanci glared at her coldly, "Why doesn't this sound like a compliment?"
Jiang Nansheng said seriously, "This is definitely the highest compliment."
Xiao Yanci sneered and reluctantly accepted the flattery.
"Leave it to me."
Xiao Baozhu immediately became eager to try, "Quick, let's go into the palace now, I want to watch the show too."
"Calling you stupid isn't unfair at all. The most clever way to deal with something like this is to use someone else's mouth and then rush to file a complaint yourself. Wouldn't that be a step down?"
Xiao Baozhu: "...A Sheng, look at him!"
Jiang Nansheng: "I think Aci is right."
Xiao Baozhu: ...
The three of them were whispering and planning in the side room, while at this time, in the Zhichun Garden of the Lu family, Fang was trimming flower branches with a leisurely posture.
She was about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, with a well-proportioned figure and still had some charm. The faint fine lines at the corners of her eyes were concealed by her gorgeous and elegant makeup.
Today is a happy day for the Marquis Xuanping's Mansion, and her stepdaughter must be sad.
Thinking of this, the corners of her lips curled up in joy.
Unexpectedly, a confidant rushed in to report, "Madam, bad news! The eldest daughter has divorced, and the dowry has been moved to the front door of the mansion!"
With a "click", Fang exerted force with her hands, and the originally well-trimmed flower branches were instantly cut off.
…
Lu Guanxuan returned to the Lu Mansion with anger suppressed. As soon as he stepped into the house, he no longer concealed his anger.
"You're so bold! You dare to make your own decision on such a big matter as divorce? Do you still take me seriously?"
Lu Zhiran sneered, "If I discuss this with my father, will he agree? You will just ask me to be magnanimous and patient."
"Is there anything wrong with this? Which man doesn't have three wives and four concubines? Which woman hasn't gone through the same thing? You're aloof and stubborn, causing a big uproar. It's fine if you don't care about your reputation, but your sister still wants to get married, and your brother still wants to go to school! I still want to save face!"
Lu Zhiran asked back, "I am being ordered to divorce, how dare others interfere? Not only that, but others would have to look up to me. After all, not everyone can obtain the Emperor's decree for divorce."
Lu Guanxuan: ...
"If anyone who doesn't know how to behave dares to gossip in front of my father, you don't have to give them face. Just accuse them of contempt for the imperial power."
Lu Guanxuan: ...
He was clearly filled with rage, but now she couldn't handle it.
So, he should be proud of it?
Lu Guanxuan finally remembered something, "How did you get the nerve to ask the emperor to grant you a divorce decree?"
Lu Zhiran revealed a secretive look, "Since my daughter can do it, she must have a trump card that can make her do it."
Lu Guanxuan looked her up and down, "What trump card do you have?"
Lu Zhiran would not tell him, "This matter is known only to heaven and earth, the emperor and I, and must not be known to a third person."
"Don't be so mysterious."
Lu Zhiran didn't explain much. "I've said this much. If father doesn't believe me, there's nothing I can do. Think about it, I can even get close to Lord Xing, so why don't you believe I have any other abilities? A man should be treated with new eyes after three days of absence. You can't keep looking at me with the same old eyes."
Lu Guanxuan thought of the letter she had written to him before, and his eyes moved slightly.
"Have you really made friends with the Xing family?"
Lu Zhiran: "It's not quite friendship, I just flattered them. You can send someone to find out if the Xing family bought that ginseng from my shop, and also find out if the miracle doctor who cured Old Master Xing is from Walnut Alley."
Both of these things are true, and she is not afraid of being inquired about.
A thought flashed across Lu Guanxuan's eyes.
Lu Zhiran looked at him with full confidence.
This time, when getting a divorce, she did not use the clan leader's trump card. If this scumbag father is ignorant and insists on making things difficult for her, then she doesn't mind cooperating with the clan leader.
At this moment, a servant came to report, "Master, Miss, there is a steward from the Xing family outside who wants to see you."
Lu Zhiran and Lu Guanxuan were both stunned.
"Which Xing family?"
"It's the Xing family, the Minister of Personnel."
Lu Guanxuan was overjoyed. As he walked towards the reception room, he asked, "Did the other party tell him what he wanted to do? And what are Lord Xing's instructions?"
"Master, the steward said he is here to look for the eldest lady."
Lu Guanxuan paused.
He turned to look at Lu Zhiran, with a hint of inquiry and scrutiny in his eyes.
Lu Zhiran felt a flash of surprise in her heart, and for a moment she couldn't determine the Xing family's intention in coming to find her.
The father and daughter walked together to the reception room. Manager Yu from the Xing family immediately stood up and bowed respectfully.
"I have met Mr. Lu and Miss Lu."
Lu Guanxuan's attitude was extremely polite. After some pleasantries, Manager Yu got to the point.
"I'm honored to come to you today at my master's behest, specifically to express my gratitude to Miss Lu. A few days ago, my old man suffered a sudden stroke and was in critical condition. Fortunately, he was able to purchase a 500-year-old ginseng from Miss Lu's shop, which saved his life."
"It was Miss Lu who recommended that female healer who saved our old master from critical condition. The Xing family will always remember this favor. Master was worried that a sudden visit might cause trouble, so he sent me here. When it's convenient another day, Master will come in person to express his gratitude."
After saying this, Manager Yu bowed deeply in the direction of Lu Zhiran, and Lu Zhiran hurriedly gave him a fake support.
"You're too polite, Steward Yu. It was just a simple favor. It's also a great honor for me that Old Master Xing was able to recover from his danger."
Lu Guanxuan regained his sanity from his ecstasy and said hurriedly, "Yes, yes, it's my daughter's blessing to be able to help Master Xing. Why should I thank her? Master Xing is so polite!"
He was extremely flattering to Lord Xing in his words, and Manager Yu responded with a smile.
After sitting for two cups of tea, Manager Yu asked to leave. Lu Guanxuan wanted to see him off in person, but Manager Yu refused repeatedly and he finally gave up.
After Manager Yu left, the smile on Lu Guanxuan's face remained for a long time.
Looking at Lu Zhiran again, he swept away his previous anger and blame, and was filled with praise.
"Sister Ran, you did a great job this time!"
Lu Zhiran was also very surprised by the Xing family's attitude, but she did not show it at all on her face.
"Now, father should believe his daughter's words, right? She did all this for her father's future."
After hearing this, Lu Guanxuan was quite moved.
Finally, this daughter was not raised in vain.
Lu Zhiran continued to spare no effort in claiming credit for herself. "I know my father has been in his current position for many years. When he was in the Marquis' Mansion, he repeatedly asked to help you get through to Lord Xing and get promoted. However, the Marquis of Xuanping repeatedly put it off. They were unwilling to use their connections on my father. Since the Marquis' Mansion refused to help, I can only find a way to pave the way for my father on my own."
