After a pause, Lu Ran frowned slightly, and there was a faint halo under his eyes: "It is speculated from common sense that Wen Qinggui is very likely to be led by Wei Jingyan's people, so that he not only won over the hearts of the people with great fanfare, but also quietly made the eldest brother owe him a favor, and he can also take the opportunity to step on the Anxi Palace, and count it in one fell swoop." It's just that the mind is used too much, and such a calculation is not in line with the identity of his son, but it is easy to be self-defeating. There is another possibility, perhaps more reasonable—"

"The matter of Baohelou, he suspects me......" Lu Ran paused slightly, then shook his head and corrected, "It can't be said to be a suspicion, otherwise it will definitely be more than Qian Xiaosi." He may just sense that something is wrong and have doubts. ”

"Well," Zhong Yu finally glanced at Lu Ran, pursed his lips, and then raised his eyebrows to stare at Zhong Xu, who was speechless, and twisted his beard and asked, "If the Wei boy really doubts you, what are you going to do?" ”

"What else can I do? By you, sir! Lu Ran spread his hands, dragged Zhong Yu's arm and pursed his lips and hummed, "Wei Jingyan has the biggest advantage in this matter, if it weren't for yesterday's Baohe Lou, he would be able to make such a reputation today?" It stands to reason that he should thank me for coming, if he still holds me back, then he is a complete villain! Mr. Xie is such an old-fashioned person, he can't teach such a villain! ”

Zhong Yu was angry and laughed, nodded at Lu Ran's forehead and scolded angrily: "Do you think of my husband here?" Are you a jerk like you? A little girl, what is worth paying attention to? After a pause, seeing Lu Ran nodding with a teachable face, his forehead was still flushed, Zhong Yu's face couldn't stand anymore, he patted Lu Ran's head with his hand, pondered for a moment, and said squarely, "Wei Xiaozi is not an immortal, he is no longer able to calculate, and he can't suspect you just by relying on the matter of Baohelou!" If he was suspicious, he must have been careful before! - Have you seen him before? ”

Lu Ran shook his head decisively, "If I had seen him, I wouldn't have to ask Mr. for clarification at this time." ”

"Just because you haven't seen him doesn't mean he hasn't seen you either." Zhong Yu nodded at Lu Ran with a smile and taught patiently, "Old Man Xie's students are not as easy to fool as the hairy boys of the Chen family. He has a lot of capable people in his hands, and he is very good at scheming, and his mind is sharper than anyone else—you don't count. Now that you have the land, he has the right people, and it is fair. Whether he is suspicious or not, whether you can find out is up to you. Zhong Yu said and smiled meaningfully, even with a little more expectation in his tone.

"Is that fair?" Lu Ran was so shocked by the smile on Zhong Yu's face that he immediately let go of Zhong Yu's arm and took a step back, angry and laughing, and angrily debunked Zhong Yu's little thoughts, "He is a big man, I am a little girl, there is Pingnan Wangfu standing behind him, those strategist guards are used with him, what can I use?" What kind of fairness is this? Don't try to trick me! ”

"What kind of bastard is this? Yes? Zhong Yu was so angry that his beard trembled, and he was stared at by Lu Ran's bright eyes, and he was a little weak for a while, so he pointed a fan at Lu Ran and coughed, "When did the old man cheat you?" You're pretty much the same old man as you cheated me! Isn't there a few more people around Wei Xiaozi, is it possible that you will let him check? It's not like your temperament......"

"Check it! A boudoir woman with long hair and short knowledge, what can he expect to find out? Lu Ran spread his hands, ignoring the temptation in Zhong Yu's words, the corners of his eyebrows raised slightly, and he smiled calmly, "It's a big deal, I sold Baohelou!" Isn't it just a matter of tens of thousands of silver? If Wei Jingyan wants to take over, for Mr. Xie's sake, I will give him a cheaper price. ”

"You call retreating without a fight! It's not the husband's doing! Zhong Yu was so angry that he pulled his beard, and he was about to scold when he jumped to his feet.

"Sir, you're wrong this time!" Lu Ran smiled slyly, his eyes were surprisingly bright, and he blocked Zhong Yu's words back without being soft or hard, "This is called judging the situation and surrendering without a fight." Besides, I'm not a big husband in the first place. Sir, just rest your thoughts, people are the princes of the world, I am just a flat-headed people, where can I compare? If he doesn't come to me for trouble, I should recite Amitabha. Ignoring Zhong Yu's angry scolding, he simply bent his knees and smiled decisively, "After standing for so long, Mr. 's leg should be numb, this is the student's sin." Why don't you go back to Zhuangzi first? I won't send you away, so that you don't get angry when you see me. Saying that, he curtsied again, nodded at Zhong Xu, and beckoned Hongrui to return to the front hall of Fu'an Temple from the backyard with Wei Xu with a smile, leaving Zhong Yu blowing his beard and staring at the door of the backyard.

Out of the gate of Fu'an Temple, the smile on Lu Ran's face dissipated a little, leaned on the carriage and took a breath lightly, his thoughts racing. She had thought that Qian Xiaosi's behavior was a little strange before, but after a little bit of Mr. Jing, it was clear. The matter of Baohelou only came out yesterday afternoon, but overnight, that Qian Xiaosi even recognized the girl next to her clearly, and his attitude towards her was extremely wrong - if Wei Jingyan had paid attention to her early on, Qian Xiaosi's behavior would have made sense. But when had he ever seen her? How suspicious was he of her? Hey, I knew that she should have stared at him carefully in Baohelou yesterday! It's okay now, except for his figure, she didn't even understand what he looked like, what a big loss!

It wasn't until he returned to Luoxia Garden that Lu Ran suppressed the depression and helplessness in his heart, and then remembered the matter of Chengfeng Business. As he spoke, he took his skirt and turned around for half a circle, dancing and gesturing, "I heard the old lady who came from the house say that the second lady began to cry and shout as soon as the second master entered the door yesterday, and after tossing all night, the roof was almost lifted!" The second master almost broke his appearance, and he hid out with a black face early this morning. The second wife was still crying in the house, saying that the second master was wolf-hearted and ungrateful, and let people tie up the second master's entourage. Hey, what a show! ”

Hongrui pulled the green clothes funny, and said with a smile: "It's someone else's business if it's okay or not, what are you excited about here?" - Make the girl a cup of tea! ”

Green Yi responded with a smile, turned around and went out to call the little girl to boil water. Hongrui looked at the cheerful back of the green clothes, shook her head funny, and hurriedly handed over the account book to Lu Ran, and was about to reply, but heard the voice of Yinyue outside: "Sanniang, you are ......" The tone was full of surprise.
