Chapter 19: Persuasion
"Master, you must be tired after many days of traveling! Knowing you're coming back this morning, I've cooked your favorite soup dumplings, so hurry up and try them. Shen Huizhen said flatteringly while diligently raising vegetables for her husband Lu Liang, who was sitting next to her.
"I've already ordered someone to boil hot water, and when you're done with breakfast, you can take a hot shower and completely relax." Shen Huizhen smiled and leaned towards her husband.
"I won't take a bath first, I'm going to go to the Guogong Mansion to bring Wanxin back." As he spoke, Lu Liangju put down his chopsticks and stood up.
As soon as she heard that she was going to pick up Lu Wanxin's ugly girl back, the youngest daughter Lu Wanqing, who was sitting on the side, immediately pouted. Shen Huizhen hurriedly glanced at her daughter and motioned for her not to speak.
Thinking of Lu Wanxin's confrontation yesterday, Shen Huizhen was still angry in her heart, but she still had a smile on her face, "Oh, master! Shen Huizhen stood up, stretched out her hand and pressed Lu Liangju back into the seat, and said softly, "Wanxin was invited by the Guogong Mansion, and the Guogong Mansion will naturally send her back again, so you can rest assured~"
Lu Liangju pulled away Shen Huizhen's hand on his shoulder, and his face did not soften due to Shen Huizhen's persuasion, "Our Lu family has no contact with the Guogong Mansion, for no reason, why would the Guogong Mansion send someone to pick up Wanxin?" It's weirdly tight! And Wanxin has always been out of the door, the most afraid of life, and now she has been in the Guogong Mansion for a night, how can you let me be a father! ”
As he spoke, Lu Liangju turned to look at Shen Huizhen, who was hammering his shoulder, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes, "The more I think about this, the more strange I feel, tell me the truth, what happened at home in the past few days when I was away?" ”
Shen Huizhen was seen by her husband's sharp gaze, and couldn't help but turn sideways to avoid it slightly. I can't help but feel secretly annoyed, other people's husbands are all broad-hearted, why is this a master who is as careful as dust? !
Shen Huizhen's expression and actions naturally failed to escape Lu Liangju's eyes, he has been on an errand in Dali Temple for many years, and what he is best at is to see through whether the other party is lying from people's subtle expressions. And now the wife in front of her is obviously lying!
"What happened, I advise you to tell me as soon as possible, don't think that I can't find out if you don't say it!" Lu Liangju shouted coldly.
Shen Huizhen was so frightened by Lu Liangju's roar that she couldn't help shrinking back, looking at her husband timidly, "Old, master, I, I can't help it!" Shen Huizhen whispered while holding a handkerchief to wipe her tears for herself.
"What the hell is going on, it's not really recruited!" Unconsciously, Lu Liangju has regarded this as his usual arraignment of prisoners.
"Yes, it was the day before yesterday that Wanxin and Wanqing went to the Lantern Festival, but Wanxin fell into the water with the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion......" Shen Huizhen was completely shocked by Lu Liangju's momentum, so she had to "confess from the truth".
"Overboard? Is Wanxin okay? Hearing that his daughter had fallen into the water, Lu Liang grabbed Shen Huizhen's wrist and asked.
"Wan, Wanxin is fine...... But the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion is dead! Shen Huizhen looked at Lu Liangju timidly and said in a low voice.
The news of "The eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion ......" made Lu Liangju suddenly feel uneasy, "Could it be ...... Did they blame Wanxin's death for the eldest lady? ”
