In the face of Lu Jin's performance just now, the most shocked person was his mother-in-law Yan.

When it comes to understanding Lu Jin, Yan's family is not under Chu Xiangyu, and because of her understanding of Lu Jin's cowardly and irresponsible character, she looks down on this son-in-law the most. In fact, in a sense, Chu Yunrong's bad attitude towards that Lu Zhen before was largely influenced by his mother.

But today, Lu Zhen has changed his original weakness and has become able to speak well, and even his courage is much greater than before. If it weren't for the fact that this face was still the one she remembered, Yan would even feel that he had changed.

It's no wonder that her daughter, who used to have a lot of complaints about Lu Jin, has changed her attitude after coming back this time, obviously because of his change. Could it be that once this person becomes an official, even his personality can become so thorough?

muttering in his heart, Yan didn't even care about his two nephews saying goodbye and leaving, just looked Lu Zhen up and down. It wasn't until Lu Zhen said that she wanted to see her daughter that she suddenly came back to her senses and immediately shook her head: "This can't be done." ”

"Mother-in-law, Yunrong is my wife, and it was only because you sent a letter to say that she was sick, so I asked her to go back to Suzhou to visit. But now you don't even let me see anyone, what's the reason? You know, now Yun Rong is a member of my Lu family! Seeing that this woman refused to let go, and had the intention of helping the Yan family break up herself and Chu Yunrong, Lu Zhen finally couldn't bear it anymore and said something serious.

To put it mildly, Lu Jin's recent mood is indeed quite bad, and he always holds a bad breath and can't vent. First there in Hangzhou, then assassination on the road. After returning to Suzhou, there was friction with the Lu family, and there were rumors that he was slandered, and he came to Chu Mansion today to pick up Chu Yunrong and was disturbed by the Yan brothers, but now he wants to see her and is blocked by the Yan family...... These many unpleasant things came one after another, no matter how good his cultivation was, no matter how deep the city government was, it was finally on the verge of breaking out.

As soon as he said this, Yan's complexion also changed. She really didn't expect Lu Zhen to dare to contradict herself like this, and it could even be regarded as a threat. But as soon as she wanted to talk back, when she raised her eyes and saw Lu Jin's eyes shining with unkindness, her heart couldn't help but sudden, and she felt a burst of panic for no reason, and she didn't dare to say the words that came to her mouth.

Seeing that the two of them were stiff, Chu Xiangyu had no choice but to speak: "Qilang, you must not be presumptuous!" This is the Chu family! His voice was not loud, but it was quite majestic.

However, Chu Xiangyu also knew in his heart that although Lu Jin's words were heavy, he was also reasonable. is the so-called water spilled by the daughter who marries out, and marries her husband, according to reason, today's Chu Yunrong has indeed become a member of the Lu family, and the Chu family is so strong that keeping their daughter is at a disadvantage in principle.

Of course, the truth comes down to the truth, and sometimes how things are decided depends on the face and strength of both sides. With the Chu family's reputation and status in Suzhou, they still have a certain right to speak. It's just that Lu Zhen has a Jinshi background after all, and he has been up and down in the officialdom for several years, so even the Chu family must deal with it carefully.

Fortunately, what worried Chu Xiangyu did not happen, and after hearing him speak, Lu Zhen was slightly stunned, and then sat down again and said: "Father-in-law, please forgive me, it was the son-in-law who was a little anxious for a while and forgot to be humble." ”

"Your thoughts, the old man naturally understands, and he can see that you are sincere to Rong'er. But ......" Chu Xiangyu said and touched his beard, glanced at his wife again, and then continued: "My Chu family is also a famous family in Suzhou City, and my daughter is the pearl of the palm, even if you marry her, you can't suffer too much grievance." Now there are rumors all over the city that you are sorry for my daughter, and I will be so sorry for her if I give her back to you like this.

"If you want to take Rong'er back, it's not impossible. But it is time to put this turmoil to a halt. Can you do it? In the end, his eyes were already fixed on Lu Jin's face, but he drew a line for Lu Jin.

Lu Zhen looked at him for a moment without avoiding it, and then nodded: "What the father-in-law said is reasonable, and the son-in-law should obey it!" It's just that some young people want to fish in troubled waters, I will not only solve this matter as soon as possible, but also make me innocent, and I will make them pay! ”

Looking at Lu Jin's solemn appearance, Chu Xiangyu's face also became solemn: "Then I'll wait and see." ”

"That being the case, the son-in-law took his leave first." As Lu Zhen spoke, he got up and saluted, and turned around and left without any delay.

It wasn't until he left that Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said angrily: "This Lu Zhen is becoming more and more disagreeable, and he dares to threaten me." There is also the Yan family......"

"Shut up!" Chu Xiangyu suddenly reprimanded angrily and interrupted his wife's words, which made Yan's body, who had never seen him so angry, tremble, and his face turned a little pale.

And Chu Xiangyu's words continued: "You used to help your mother's family speak, but today it's too much." If the matter spreads, where will my Chu family's face go? Today, you should understand what the rumors are all about. He Yan family did all this, and it was my Chu family's face that he slapped him! Don't forget, you are from my Chu family, don't always get involved with your mother's family! You don't have to talk about your daughter's affairs in the future, it's all up to me! ”

After saying these heavy words, Chu Xiangyu ignored his stunned wife, only flicked his sleeves, and turned to leave.

Yan sat there stunned, and after a while, he finally burst into tears. This time, she finally knew she had done something wrong. In fact, if she hadn't thought about separating her daughter from Lu Jin because she looked down on Lu Jin, the next change would not have happened. The entire Chu family will not be disgraced by rumors......

After a meeting, everyone was unhappy, which made the subordinates of the Chu family even more silent and did not dare to speak out. However, today's affairs in the hall were still heard, and this person was the little maid Cuimei who was secretly hiding outside the door.

It wasn't until Lu Zhen left that she quietly turned back to the backyard and told everything that happened to her own young lady Chu Yunrong, who didn't know how to be good.

This rumor had the greatest impact on Chu Yunrong. But she still believes in Lu Jin's character, at least until she sees him in person and listens to him admit it, she refuses to believe everything the rumors say. And now, after listening to Cui Mei's story, her face finally looked better, and her heart was relieved: "Did he really say that?" ”

"Hmmm! My uncle's courage is so great, he dares to contradict Madame, and Madame has nothing to do with him. Cui Mei nodded and said, her eyes full of disbelief.

Chu Yunrong was not too surprised, because only she knew that the current Lu Zhen was no longer the cowardly guy he was at the beginning. This is a real man who dares to lead troops to fight against the invading Mongols, and dares to talk and laugh with those big people in the court without falling behind. It's too normal for his mother to be unable to speak a few words from him.

Thinking about it like this, her heart also settled down a lot: "Since he promised his father that he would solve this matter, I believe that he will definitely be able to do it." Soon, he'll be able to get me out of here. ”

"Miss, you believe him like that?" Cui Mei said with some surprise.

Chu Yunrong nodded deeply, but just hummed. Although he didn't say much, his trust in Lu Zhen was undoubtedly revealed. To be honest, it's really nice to have such a man to rely on. Don't bother thinking too much about things, just wait for him to come and save you.

But will things really go as smoothly as she hoped?

@@@@@

At least Lu Zhen himself doesn't have that much confidence.

Although Lu Zhen was tough in front of the Chu family and his wife, in fact, he still had nothing to do about this rumor. After all, he is no longer a court official, and he does not have any backers and friends in Suzhou City. But what they are facing is the Yan family, a big family that has a lot of power in both black and white, and it is really not easy to deal with them and stop this rumor.

What should I do about this? Is it to create another bigger rumor, or to ask the local government for help? I'm afraid neither of these can be done so easily......

"My lord, what should I do next?" Qingle suddenly asked: "If the adults are short of manpower, we Jinyi Wei have some people in the city, and there is a hundred households here that used to be my subordinates, maybe I can ask him for help." After Qinggele followed Lu Zhen for a journey, seeing that he had not spoken, he couldn't help but ask.

Lu Zhen came back to his senses and smiled at him gratefully: "Now is not the time to borrow Jinyiwei." As for what to do, the top priority now is to eat first. ”

"Huh?" Qinggeler glanced at Lu Zhen with some surprise, why couldn't he connect his proposal with the topic at hand, this thinking was too jumpy, right?

Lu Zhen pointed his hand to a restaurant on the side: "It's almost time, but you and I haven't eaten yet, and the Chu family doesn't care about food, so we can't starve ourselves." Let's go, eat first, and it's not too late to wait until you're full. As he spoke, he walked into the restaurant.

Qingge was a little surprised, and at the same time glanced at Lu Zhen with some admiration, at this time, his own adults can still be so relaxed, and they are really people who do great things.

But Lu Jin's performance next made him feel that his previous judgment was a little too optimistic.

For this meal, the two of them ate for two hours, until it was completely dark and it was time, and he helped Lu Zhen out of the restaurant - Lu Zhen actually borrowed wine to kill his sorrows and drank himself drunk! Obviously, the unhappiness and annoyance in his heart are really not light!
