Chapter 53: The Dowry

When Lu Jingcheng came back, he ordered me and Long Xuanling to be evicted.

It's just that he has just issued an eviction order, and the old lady has sent a maid to stay here for the night, and I thought that it was late at night, so I nodded and agreed.

Early the next morning, the old lady's personal maid invited me downstairs for dinner, and she was taken aback when she saw that Long Xuanling and I were coming out of the same room.

Soon, however, the face regained its composure and led us downstairs.

I have already made up my mind, and I will leave here this morning, and I will say goodbye to the old lady after breakfast.

Last night, Long Xuanling also said that Lu Jingcheng's lowered head had been destroyed by Qin Fang, and how long he could live next depends on Lu Jingcheng himself, and we can't intervene.

But when I went downstairs, I found that something was wrong, not only the old lady and Lu Jingcheng in this restaurant, but also my father and stepmother who wore heavy makeup.

Although the old lady's face was still a little pale, she was talking and laughing with my father, as if she was talking about something happy.

When she saw me coming, the old lady beckoned to me and motioned for me to sit beside her.

After I sat down beside her, the old lady took my hand and said with a loving smile: "An Zhi, you and Jingcheng are not young, I discussed it with your father, this marriage, it is better to do it quickly, and start the branches and leaves for our Lu family earlier." ”

"Luo Anzhi is already my wife." Long Xuanling stood beside me, his face already very ugly.

The smile on the old lady's face instantly froze, raised her slightly cloudy eyes and glanced at Long Xuanling, then looked at me again, and asked very seriously, "An Zhi, is what he said true?" ”

I nodded, and from the beginning, I didn't think to hide it from her.

"Good! Luo Tingyuan, you accepted my Lu family's dowry back then, and now, actually? "The old lady was already angry yesterday, and now she is stimulated again, and she can't get angry when she speaks.

My father looked stunned and looked at me: "Anzhi, what nonsense are you talking about?" When did you get married? ”

"After you abandoned me and Yunhe, we went back to Xiazizhuang with Mama, where Mama was in charge and got married." I saw that my father's eyes were full of reproach, as if I had done something shameless, and the relationship, which had only improved slightly, was about to take a turn for the worse in an instant.

"What? You stand up for me! My answer made my father's face change in an instant.

My stepmother, who was originally smiling flatteringly at me, also instantly showed a look of disdain, and her body leaned back in the chair, as if she was ready to wait to see a good show.

And when I saw his angry look, I stubbornly sat still.

My father walked up to me angrily, Long Xuanling's eyes froze, and I immediately asked Long Xuanling to step back.

"Since An Zhi is married, that is my Long Xuanling's person, if you want to teach her a lesson, you must go through me." Long Xuanling said and stared at his father expressionlessly.

When my father heard this, he sneered: "Your people? Have you ever given a dowry? The daughter of my Luo family, the bride price is not less than 5,000 oceans, can you afford it? ”

"Long Xuanling, let's go!" I thought that my father was angry because I married someone without permission, but I didn't expect that he didn't ask Long Xuanling if he was good to me or if he made me suffer, but opened his mouth to ask for a dowry.

When Long Xuanling heard this, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and without saying a word, he threw the blood jade I had returned to him before directly in front of his father.

The father reached out in a panic to catch it, and finally looked down to see that it was a piece of clear blood jade.

When he was in Beijing, he was an expert at playing jade, and as long as he looked at it carefully, he should be able to estimate it immediately.

Originally, he only glanced at the blood jade a few times, but when he saw the texture clearly, his expression changed, and he hurriedly held the blood jade and shone it in the light outside.

A smile gradually appeared on his angry face, but he tried his best to suppress it.

coughed lightly, turned his head, glanced at me and then at Long Xuanling, and finally put away the blood jade very naturally.

I couldn't help but bow my head and smile at the corners of my mouth.

"Luo Tingyuan, what are you going to do?" The old lady stared at her father.

My father is very "smart", and I am already married, so my brain immediately moved to Yun He's body.

"Old lady, I and Runxue also have a young daughter, named Yun He, this is about to reach the age of Xuan, if the old lady is willing, why don't you let Yun He marry Yu Jingcheng?" The father looked at the old lady and asked cautiously.

"Yunhe? Do you have a second daughter? The old lady looked at her father with some surprise.

Because Yun He was born to a maid, and his father said that Yun He's appearance was too mediocre, he was reluctant to take Yun He to various occasions, and in front of outsiders, he didn't even mention that he had a second daughter.

"Oh, the second daughter Yunhe was frail and sickly when she was young, and she asked someone to tell her fortune, saying that she had to be quietly raised in the boudoir, and I originally wanted to wait for her to celebrate her birthday in the year of Jilu, so?" My father made up a lie, and it was so smooth that if I didn't know, I might have been deceived by him.

"But since Runxue gave birth to An Zhi, she hasn't seen her pregnant?" The old lady seemed to be thinking carefully.

In fact, the old lady had to marry the Luo family because of her mother, and for some reason, she loved her mother very much.

"Oh, after Runxue became pregnant, I let her have a baby in the house, so you didn't see it." Father can be said to be clever and eloquent.

And I couldn't listen any longer, so I stood up and said goodbye to the old lady to leave.

The old lady looked at me and sighed.

"Anzhi, your mother was kind to me, and I was also optimistic about you." The old lady looked at me with a little pity.

"An Zhi is loved by the old lady, but the matter of marriage cannot be forced, and now, An Zhi has a wishful husband, and asks the old lady to find another beauty for Lu Dashuai." After speaking, I paused again: "Yunhe is young, and he doesn't match the handsome, is the old lady still?" ”

"An Zhi, do you think Jing Cheng is not worthy of your sister?" The old lady frowned, furious.

"No, it's just Yunhe?" I would also like to explain.

As a result, the old lady waved her hand and asked the maid to send off the guest.

The father comforted the old lady on the side, saying that this marriage event must follow the orders of the parents, and I am just Yunhe's sister and has no right to interfere with Yunhe's marriage.

Listening to what my father said, it was as if there was a fire burning in my heart, and after following Long Xuanling back to the hotel, I asked Long Xuanling to take me back to Pingcheng.

I was worried that my father would send someone to pick up Yun He, and for his attachment, he would harm Yun He's life.
