Chapter 59: Destroying Family Affairs
Lu Guanlan returned to Taoyuan and chatted with Wang Qin'er for a while.
Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, Wang Qin'er looked out of the courtyard even more.
Lu Guanlan couldn't help but quip: "I see, my sister's heart has already flown outside?" β
Wang Qin'er's little face turned a little redder, and she sneered: "Sister Guanlan! β
Lu Guanlan smiled knowingly.
The two laughed and left the courtyard, and soon arrived at the dining hall.
Steward Zhao was already waiting here, and when he saw Lu Guanlan leading Miss Wang over, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Miss, the master is still in the study, and he will come later." The lord explained, and said that the eldest lady would accompany Miss Wang to eat first, and there was no need to wait for the lord. β
Lu Guanlan smiled slightly and asked, "But there are still people coming?" β
Steward Zhao replied respectfully: "Today, the two aunts said that they were not very comfortable, so they didn't come." The eldest young master and the second young master went to the school, and the second miss, the third miss, and the fourth miss also said that it was inconvenient. β
Lu Guanlan nodded, turned his head and said to Wang Qin'er: "Then let's eat first." β
As he spoke, he wanted to pull Wang Qin'er to sit down.
Wang Qin'er was a little embarrassed, paused, and said in a low voice: "Isn't it good for us to be like this?" Why don't you wait for Master Lu to dine together? β
Lu Guanlan sneered, pulled Wang Qin'er to sit down quickly, and said, "Father said that you don't have to wait, what are you still worried about?" It's not that I won't come after a while, so why should my sister be so anxious. β
When Wang Qin'er heard this, she blushed again, frowned slightly and glared at Lu Guanlan with a coquettish expression.
Lu Guanlan glanced at Steward Zhao and smiled in his heart.
She should have understood what she said so blatantly.
Steward Zhao naturally heard it well on the side, so he retreated quietly.
When he arrived at the study, he hurriedly reported what he heard to Lu Bingyan.
Lu Bingyan put down the official document in his hand and raised his head: "Did the eldest lady really say that?" β
Steward Zhao nodded again and again, "The little one listened really well, and I saw that Miss Wang was said like this by our eldest lady, and she looked shy." β
Lu Bingyan is a well-informed person on the Fengyue field, so he naturally knows what Wang Qin'er's intentions are.
My heart was suddenly happy, so I beckoned Steward Zhao to come over.
"Rush Ming'er to send some gifts to Wang Shangshu's mansion, and you know what to say about the rest, right?" Lu Bingyan looked happy and instructed Steward Zhao.
Steward Zhao nodded knowingly.
In the dining hall, Lu Guanlan is almost finished.
I looked at Wang Qin'er in a blink of an eye, but I saw that she looked preoccupied, and she didn't move a few chopsticks on the dishes in front of her.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Lu Bingyan's voice outside the hall.
"Today is my poor hospitality, snubbing Miss Wang, and I hope Miss Wang will not be surprised," Lu Bingyan changed into a white dress, but he still looks like a dashing son when he is middle-aged.
Lu Guanlan looked a little disgusted on the side, glanced at Wang Qin'er, and saw that Wang Qin'er was shy.
After Lu Bingyan took a seat, the two got up and saluted.
Lu Bingyan looked at Wang Qin'er and said with a smile: "Miss Wang doesn't have to be formal, just treat it as if this is her own home, just be casual." β
Wang Qin'er looked shy, her chin lowered her eyes, "Yes, Master Lu." β
Lu Guanlan said in his heart, if this is really his own house, Wang Qin'er may not come.
Thinking about it, Lu Guanlan suddenly frowned, covered his lower abdomen and said, "Father, I'm a little unwell, so I'll go back to the yard first." β
said, turned his head to look at Wang Qin'er, "Sister Wang, I'm really sorry that I won't accompany you first." β
Wang Qin'er was stunned for a moment, and before she could speak, she saw Lu Guanlan salute, turned around and left.
Lu Bingyan knew that Lu Guanlan knew how to read words and feelings, and he couldn't help but feel a little relieved to see her so sensible.
In the end, his eldest daughter is sensible and can look at people's eyes.
In the Nixuan Pavilion, Song Yuemei listened to Chunxiang's report on the canteen.
I heard that Lu Guanlan had come out of the dining hall, and only the old man and Miss Wang were there.
Song Yuemei was so angry that her chest was even tighter, and her head hurt a little.
The old man really has a caring daughter, and he knows how to find a stepmother for himself.
I thought that Lu Guanlan, a little slut, didn't have any good intentions, why did she invite Miss Wang to come over for three days, isn't it all about finding opportunities for her father.
She was also too careless and didn't take this matter to heart, so the little slut took advantage of the loophole, and sent the woman to the master like this.
The more Song Yuemei thought about it, the more angry she became, and between her teeth, the teacup in her hand was also thrown to the ground.
Seeing that the teacup on the ground that only broke one did not seem to be enjoyable, he stood up again and smashed the vase on the table.
It was simply sent by Lu Bingyan, and Song Yuemei never felt distressed.
Chunxiang saw it on the side, and she didn't comfort her, but just stood aside silently with her head down.
After Song Yuemei calmed down easily, Chunxiang said: "Since the third aunt already has it, why don't you go around with the third aunt more, and help each other in the future." β
"What's the use of walking around with her concubine? Is the master's little wife still missing? Everyone wants to press on my head, do you really think I'm a bully? Song Yuemei's chest rose and fell, holding on to the back of the chair and panting.
As she was talking, Song Yuemei's heart suddenly moved, as if she remembered something, and hurriedly beckoned Chunxiang to come over.
Chunxiang lowered her head and listened to Song Yuemei's instructions, and then nodded, "The slave will go down and do it." β
Song Yuemei waved her hand, then sat back on the chair, looking at the mess, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth.
Lu Guanlan, a slut, I'm afraid I don't know what kind of romantic character her father is.
Want to find a satisfactory housewife to protect her in the future?
It's naΓ―ve.
As soon as Lu Guanlan returned to Taoyuan, he heard Xiaoju say that Chunxiang had left the house.
"Out of the house?" Lu Guanlan frowned.
Chunxiang has always been cautious in doing things, and she is also suspicious, how could she be so careless this time that she can make a careless girl like Xiaoju look at it?
But she didn't think Song Yuemei was playing tricks on her this time.
Today, Lu Bingyan invited Wang Qin'er to banquet, Song Yuemei should have known.
According to Song Yuemei's temperament, the position of the main mother who has been looking forward to for more than ten years will certainly not be handed over, let alone sit still.
Since this is the case, she will definitely think of ruining the family affairs of the Wang family and the Lu family.
Lu Bingyan is now happy with Wang Qin'er, and it is impossible for her to start from Lu Bingyan.
Although Zhou Susu was pregnant, there was no movement on Lu Bingyan's side, it should be that Zhou Susu thought that the fetus had not yet sat down, so she didn't tell Lu Bingyan about it.
This is not a good excuse to stir up trouble.
Then what Song Yuemei wants to do, she can roughly guess.
Thinking of this, she suddenly smiled.
instructed Ah Li: "Later, you will excuse yourself to go out of the house to buy pen and ink for me, go to the money bank to exchange some silver, don't take it back to the house, let's go out tomorrow and get it again." β
Today, Wang Qin'er may not need to ask Ah Li to send off, so he can only let Ah Li find another reason to leave the house.
Ah Li asked, "Then why doesn't the young lady wait for Ming'er to go out and redeem it?" β
Lu Guanlan said: "Tomorrow, we may talk for a long time, and we can't delay." β
Ah Li was puzzled: "Talking for a long time?" β
Lu Guanlan smiled and said nothing.
The person she will meet tomorrow is related to whether this family affair she personally facilitated can go smoothly.
To her, though, it wasn't a big deal. But more is better than less, she doesn't have the time to deal with it.
Plan ahead to avoid trouble after it happens.
The next day, Lu Guanlan still got up late.
Ah Li coaxed for a long time before coaxing her little ancestor.
Looking at the haggard eyes of her young lady, Ah Li sighed. It seems that I didn't sleep well last night.
After freshening up, Lu Guanlan took a box of snacks out of the yard, and asked Ah Li to go and tell Steward Zhao that she made a dim sum and went to Miss Wang's house to talk to Miss Wang, and asked Steward Zhao to report to her father.
Lu Bingyan heard Steward Zhao say that Lu Guanlan was going to the Hubu Shangshu Mansion, so he was naturally happy to be nervous, so he smiled and said: "Guanlan, this child, now knows how to think about his father." β
Immediately, he asked Steward Zhao to hand over the gift he wanted to send to Wang Shangshu's mansion today to Lu Guanlan to bring.
Lu Guanlan looked at Steward Zhao's gift of putting on the carriage, and laughed a little for a while.
Lu Bingyan really thought she was going to find Wang Qin'er.
Come to think of it, it was really right to let Ah Li exchange the silver earlier.
So, Lu Guanlan went to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Household Affairs first, and only asked Ah Li to give the gift and leave.
Coming out of the market of Shangshufu, the carriage turned all the way into the alley, looking for a secluded and uninhabited road.
What she wants to see today is the woman who came out of Lu Bingyan's study that day, and it is also Lu Bingyan's outer room.
Lu Bingyan hid her deeply, and it was the first time she saw her that day, and she didn't know the details of this woman.
It's just that the woman's smell of dust is too much, which made her think of exploring Fireworks Willow Lane to find the woman's whereabouts.
She took out the letter from Chengmo from her sleeve and opened it again.
"Nian An Yuan," Lu Guanlan muttered.
When Ah Li heard this, a trace of doubt appeared on her face, "Miss thinks there is a problem with the residence checked by His Royal Highness?" β
Lu Guanlan folded the letter paper and said with a smile: "After following me for a long time, you have also learned that I am very suspicious?" β
Ah Li was a little embarrassed and grinned: "Miss, that's not suspicious, but cautious." β
Lu Guanlan smiled and stroked Ah Li's forehead, "Silly girl." β
Looking at Lu Guanlan's gentle face, Ah Li couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
The young lady is younger than her, but she always likes to call her a silly girl, as if she is the younger one.
Sometimes the young lady is like a child, very strong, and sometimes it seems like she has already gone through the world, so that she can feel the vicissitudes of life when she sees it.
I really don't know how bitter the young lady is in her heart to grow up overnight, so that she is so calm and steady now whenever and wherever she is.
Seeing the distress in Ah Li's eyes, Lu Guanlan only sighed in his heart.
In this world, how can there be people who can fully understand her.
This courtyard is not far from Lu Mansion, and it will not take long to arrive.
Ali immediately helped her out of the carriage.
She looked up at the door of the courtyard, and a sense of irony welled up in her heart.
Nian Anyuan? Could it be that she is still thinking of her mother Liu Yun'an?
Just as she was thinking, Ah Li had already stepped forward and knocked on the door.
After knocking for a while, I heard a woman's voice come from inside: "It's coming, it's coming!" Who? β
