In Suzhou City, rumors about Lu Jin's bad luck and insatiable lust have spread to everyone, and even many people have pointed their fingers in front of the Chu family. And at this time, Lu Jin, the client, suddenly came to the door of the Chu Mansion with a gift and asked to see his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Seeing him arrive suddenly, the concierge of the Chu family was really surprised, and after a moment of snorting, he dropped a sentence: "Uncle, wait a moment." Then he turned and went inside.

In fact, from the reaction of this subordinate, it can be seen that the Chu family's attitude towards Lu Jin. You must know that Lu Jin, who is a son-in-law, is not an outsider to the Chu family, and when he came to meet his father-in-law and mother-in-law, he went directly to the door, so why bother?

At this time, the husband and wife of the Chu family were arguing about something. But because Chu's mother has never been able to persuade her daughter, she began to play her husband's idea and wanted him to help her persuade her daughter together. But Chu Xiangyu, the old man of the Chu family, refused to nod his head: "Marriage is a big event, how can you say that you will be scattered like this, should you be child's play?" ”

"Master, don't you want to see what has become of the city now? If it continues like this, our Chu family will have no face to see, and our business will definitely be greatly affected. Moreover, this matter is related to his daughter's life, you can't ignore your daughter for the sake of some face-saving things, right? ”

"It's for my daughter's sake that I don't allow you." Chu Xiangyu snorted: "Is it true that I can't see that little bit of your thoughts?" ”

"What do I think, it's not for our daughter, it's for our entire Chu family? Do you also know how powerful the Yan family is in Suzhou, and it's not good to marry that Lu Jin? Just because of your friendship with Lu Jin's father, do you have to delay your daughter's life? Chu Mu was immediately annoyed.

What responded to her was another cold snort from Chu Xiangyu: "Lu Jin's child was grown up by me, although he is not very bold, but his other conduct is still upright, I categorically don't believe that he will be as nonsense as rumored outside." This must be someone behind the scenes, ruining his reputation! "If it's someone who's been rolling in the mall for years, he can see the problem at a glance.

"You really believe him. But knowing people, knowing faces, not knowing hearts, not to mention that people will change......"

"Yes, people change." Chu Xiangyu replied meaningfully, and his wife was stunned for a moment, and then said: "And doesn't my daughter herself insist on going back to see Lu Jin?" You were worried that Lu Zhen would make a mistake in the officialdom and implicate your daughter, so you took her back. Now that he is no longer an official, what else do you have to worry about? ”

"It is precisely because he is no longer an official that I am even more worried about entrusting my daughter to him. Do you want your daughter to suffer with him, or do you want to give our Chu family's family business to your good son-in-law? Chu's mother was already a little irritable because her daughter refused to listen to her persuasion, and now that her husband is like this, she is even more angry, and she is even a little speechless.

"You...... The more you talk about it, the more unreasonable it becomes! Chu Xiangyu's face suddenly sank, and he almost wanted to get angry, but in the end he endured it.

The strength of her own lady's family is much deeper than that of the Chu family, which makes Chu Xiangyu always tolerate her in every way. Of course, he still has to make his own decisions on some matters of principle. For example, this is a matter of his daughter's life, and he, the head of the family, will never be led by his wife.

Seeing that he just refused to let go, this made Chu Mu a little helpless. Although she is dedicated to matching her daughter and nephew, after all, she is now a member of the Chu family, and some things still can't be said too much. In the end, he could only mutter: "You are just dead-eyed, and you don't want to think about it, if Lu Zhen is really fine, why didn't he come to our Chu family for a long time, didn't he come to meet us and Rong'er?" I said he must have a weak heart. ”

These words made Chu Xiangyu a little irrefutable, to be honest, because of this, he was also a little dissatisfied with Lu Jin. Although he believed that Lu Zhen would never be as bad as the rumors, it was too much for his son-in-law not to come to the door to explain such a thing.

"This kid, is he still too weak...... Chu Xiangyu sighed in his heart, but he was helpless, he couldn't go to see his son-in-law first.

At this moment, the housekeeper suddenly came to the front of the hall with a strange face: "Old lady, my uncle is here, and now I am asking to see you outside the gate." ”

These words made the two couples stunned, and Chu's mother even subconsciously asked: "Uncle?" Which uncle? ”

"Are you confused? We have only one daughter, which aunt can we have? Isn't it Lu Jin. Chu Xiangyu was overjoyed, but Lu Jin's arrival gave him face, and he immediately said: "Quick, let Lu Zhen come in and talk." ”

The housekeeper glanced at Chu Mu again, and then quickly agreed and ran out. After a while, Lu Zhen took Qinggele, who was holding some gifts, and came to the front of the hall along the corridor, but he was not in a hurry to enter the door, so he bent down there and bowed his hands to meet his father-in-law and mother-in-law: "The son-in-law meets the two adults of Taishan and Taishui." ”

"Hehe, it turns out that the virtuous son-in-law is here, quick, come in and talk." Chu Xiangyu, who was sitting on the chair, had a smile on his face and waved his hand busily. Compared to him, although Chu Mu on the side also smiled a little, she looked much more reluctant.

Lu Zhen also walked into the hall with a smile, and asked Qinggele to hand over the gift: "Some small gifts are not respectful, and I hope the second elder can accept it with a smile." ”

"You, we're all a family, just come, why bother breaking the bank?" Chu Xiangyu hurriedly said politely. And Chu Mu didn't say anything after glancing at those silk medicinal herbs.

Lu Zhen naturally saw the couple's different attitudes, and his heart didn't feel a little heavy. Obviously, this rumor has given the second elder an opinion about himself, and this misunderstanding must be cleared up as soon as possible.

He was thinking about how to lead his words to the angle he wanted, and Chu Mu had already spoken: "Lu Jin, how many days have you been in Suzhou?" ”

"If I go back to my mother-in-law, my son-in-law has been in Suzhou for six days." Lu Jinxi replied honestly.

"In that case, why did you not come to see us until today?" When Chu Mu heard this, she immediately came to her senses, and asked as if she was asking.

Lu Zhen first glanced at his father-in-law and found that the other party was silent, but his face was not too good-looking, and he had a wry smile in his heart. I really didn't do it well enough, so I admitted my mistake and said: "It's the son-in-law who was careless." Originally, he should have come to visit the second elder on the second day of his arrival in Suzhou, but it was delayed because of some situation in the village. I hope that my father-in-law and mother-in-law will not be surprised. ”

"I heard that you were dismissed by the imperial court, so you only went back to Suzhou this time?" Chu Mu continued to make things difficult and asked. Although Chu Xiangyu gave her a look on the side, she couldn't see it.

In response to this reproach, Lu Jin was also prepared, and immediately replied: "The son-in-law was dismissed this time because he was jealous of the villain and was convicted of a trumped-up crime. Although I can only return to my hometown, it will not be long before the court will reuse me. ”

"Really? So you have been wronged? ”

"Exactly." Lu Zhen was also not modest, and answered crisply and neatly.

When Chu Mu heard this, she sneered: "In that case, some of the recent statements about you in the city are also wronging you?" ”

Sure enough, it came! Lu Zhen knew that he would definitely be reprimanded for the rumor when he came to the door today, so he arched his hand and said: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, the son-in-law was indeed framed by someone in this matter. If the son-in-law really did such a thing, he would never dare to come to the door to see the second elder today. ”

"Hmph, you are just a one-sided statement, so how can I believe it, how dare I trust my daughter to you. According to my meaning...... "Chu Mu looked at Lu Jin's calm appearance, and her heart became more and more angry, and she couldn't help but make her words clear.

Seeing this, Chu Xiangyu on the side finally couldn't help it, and interrupted in a deep voice: "Madam! The son-in-law finally came to visit, so you don't have to ask about the case. ”

Seeing that her old man was not looking good, Chu Mu finally swallowed back the words that came to her mouth, and just snorted unhappily. Seeing this, Lu Jin's heart was already clear, and it seemed that his mother-in-law must be on the side of his mother-in-law. And the father-in-law is still helping himself to speak, and the situation is a little more retrievable.

However, Lu Zhen was not too happy, because Chu Xiangyu then spoke again: "Virtuous son-in-law, this rumor in the city is really a headache. It's the old man, who was talked about behind his back for a long time when he went out yesterday, which is even more unfavorable to you and Rong'er. As a man, you should explain this matter clearly, or else you ......."

"The father-in-law is grateful for the heart of the father-in-law." Lu Zhen thanked him first, and then said: "Actually, why this incident happened, the son-in-law has already found out. That's why I hurried to meet me today. In addition to greeting the second elder, it is also to explain. My heart for Yun Rong has never changed from beginning to end, this love can be seen every day, how can I do something sorry for her? ”

"In that case, is the rumored woman really true?" Chu Xiangyu hurriedly asked.

"This ...... The son-in-law does have a woman by her side now, but she came to Suzhou with her son-in-law because she wanted to escape the persecution of the eunuchs in Hangzhou, and I don't have too many emotional entanglements with her. Lu Zhen could only tell the truth.

"Hmph, clever words!" Chu Mu commented again.

Lu Zhen smiled bitterly, but it was difficult to argue. Just as he wanted to explain further, the housekeeper came to the front of the hall again and reported: "Old lady, the two young masters of the Yan family are outside asking to see you. ”

"Huh?" Chu Xiangyu was stunned unconsciously, while Lu Jin's heart moved, and he faintly guessed the other party's intention.

Chu Mu's reaction was the fastest, and she immediately nodded: "Yuqi and their brothers are actually here?" Hurry up and let them come in and talk. ”
