Chapter 115: Do You Really Want to Be His Cousin?
As soon as the father and son left, Gao Zhilan threw herself into Lu's arms, and tears fell down: "Auntie......"
Aunt Gao raised her eyebrows and looked at Aunt Zhao, secretly screaming in her heart, but Aunt Zhao lowered her eyes and looked indifferent.
After all, the Lu family was not as breathless as Gao Zhilan, but stroked her back and said to everyone, "You all disperse." ”
Murong and his son were silent in the outer study for a while, and then Murong Jingzhong sighed slightly and said: "Chu'er, my father knows that you are tired of the Lu family, and naturally he doesn't like the people of her mother's family, but that Gao Zhilan is also the granddaughter of Prime Minister Gao, and the eldest lady of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Industry." ”
"Father is afraid of the Gao family?" Murong Chu's voice was unusually cold.
Murong Jingzhong was slightly stunned and hooked his lips: "When did the Murong family be afraid of anyone?" Father just thinks that you used to be outside, and in the future, everyone will be in the same palace, and you still have to get by in terms of face. ”
Murong Chu let out a very light "um".
Seeing his son's extremely cold appearance, Murong Jingzhong swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
The Lu family sent Gao Zhilan back to the Lotus Garden, where she lived in the palace, and Gao Zhilan sobbed and shrugged her shoulders: "Auntie, my cousin was not like this before, although he was colder, he was not so ruthless. ”
"Before? When was the last time you saw him? Lu snorted coldly.
Gao Zhilan was slightly stunned: "Last time, last time was when his mother died, he came back to pay respects." ”
The Lu family was secretly resentful, this stupid girl, Murong Chu had ignored her before, and this time her wings were stiff, and she didn't take her seriously, but she, the eldest lady, didn't know which tendon she had drawn, and she didn't want to let the noble son of the capital go away, so she didn't forget that little beast.
But Lu's second sister and his wife love this little daughter the most, everything depends on her temperament, Lu thought of the promise that the second sister gave herself, put on a loving expression, stopped Gao Zhilan's little hand and said: "You haven't seen each other for so long, of course it's a little raw, get along for a few more days, with our Lan'er's pretty appearance, which man will not be tempted?" ”
Seeing Gao Zhilan looking at himself ignorantly, Lu said again: "What does it matter if he doesn't admit that you are a cousin, what are you angry about, do you really want to be his cousin?" ”
Gao Zhilan was woken up by her aunt's words, and raised her eyebrows: "What does aunt mean that he doesn't admit me as a cousin, does he have other thoughts?" ”
Without waiting for Lu's answer, Gao Zhilan's eyes that had just lit up dimmed again: "But he is ...... with that Mo Jinxi now."
Lu pursed his lips disdainfully: "What is that little slut, she is now just the sister of a small fourth-rank official, where is our Lan'er status." Even if Murong Chu likes her no matter how much she likes, she is only enough to be a concubine, and she is not trampled under your feet? ”
Gao Zhilan gritted her teeth: "Even if it's a girl in the room, I don't want it to be her, aunt, if it weren't for your incompetence, how could I allow her to go back to the capital!" ”
"What's the use of talking about that now?" Lu was a little annoyed, she spent a lot of money to hire someone, but in the end she was complained by her niece.
Seeing Gao Zhilan's pear blossom with rain, he thought of his second sister again, and his tone softened: "Lan'er, my aunt's trick will definitely work later, it is estimated that the little slut has a heart of mustard now, and the person will not be yours by then?" ”
"Aunt," Gao Zhilan shook Lu's arm and said coquettishly, "Will Cousin Chu agree to this family business?" ”
There was a smug smile on the corner of Lu's mouth: "It's up to him whether you agree or not, your uncle called him to the outer study to talk about this." ”
Gao Zhilan blushed, leaning shyly in Lu's arms, looking forward to a better future, the room was silent, but how did the two of them know that a figure outside avoided the eyes of all the subordinates and went out of the courtyard.
Mo Li returned to Ruolixuan, kicked everyone out, and hid in the house alone, with the words "Don't approach" written on his face.
Ruoping sat at the foot of the steps of the upper room and frowned, and the young lady's sudden attitude towards her master made her puzzled. Since she and Ah Ming's sister and brother were taken in by Murong Chu, she has been running errands outside, and she doesn't know much about the Bac Ninh Palace, only that Gao Zhilan is the niece of Murong Chu's stepmother, the princess.
Gao Zhilan's words collided with Miss, what does it have to do with the master, why did she snub the master because of this?
A small pebble hit the ground not far from her feet, and Ruoping looked up and saw Eleven hiding in the shadows outside the courtyard gate gesturing to her.
Seeing that no one was paying attention in the courtyard, Ruoping quietly slipped out of Ruolixuan, followed Eleven to a place where no one was, and asked in a low voice, "You are in broad daylight, why are you here?" ”
"Let me ask who you have been in contact with since your young lady returned to the capital?"
"In addition to the family, I met Princess Beining and Gao Zhilan in Puning Temple, and was later ridiculed by Princess Jin in Changle Lake, and King Jin gave a solution, and Gao Zhilan was also present at that time."
Ruoping thought about it and told Eleven what happened in Puning Temple and Changle Lake.
"Gao Zhilan threatens Miss?" Eleven asked with a slight frown.
Ruoping nodded: "That's true, but she just warned Miss not to annoy her, as for how to annoy her, he didn't say, but I think Miss seems to understand, she always says something strange recently, and says that the master is not hers and can't keep it." ”
"So it's because of Gao Zhilan's threat that Miss is like this?"
"No," Ruoping recalled carefully, "After returning from Puning Temple that day, Miss was quite normal, Mrs. Xiao came in the afternoon, and then Mrs. and Miss didn't know what to say in the room, and then Miss changed." At that time, I didn't go to Changle Lake. ”
"Which Mrs. Shaw?"
"The wife of Xiao Wenxian, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, she came to visit her wife that afternoon."
Eleven thought for a moment, seemed to think of something, and waved his hand: "You go back first and pay attention to Miss's movements." ”
Seeing Ruoping return to Ruolixuan, Eleven flew out of the Mo Mansion.
In the upper room of the main courtyard of the Beining Palace, the Lu family sent a cup of ginseng soup to Murong Jingzhong: "Lord, the concubine has stewed ginseng soup, and now the temperature is just right, so hurry up and drink it." ”
Taking advantage of Murong Jingzhong's efforts to drink ginseng soup, the Lu family asked with a smile: "Did the prince ever tell Chu Er about that?" ”
Murong Jingzhong put down the spoon in his hand and shook his head: "Chu'er just came back, now is not the time." ”
"Lord Wang......" Lu Shi called out, "Lan'er will be twenty years old in the coming year, she has a deep affection for Chu'er, and how many noble sons have rejected their marriage over the years." It was just that Chu'er had not been in the capital before, but now that he is back, it is better to fulfill them earlier. ”
Murong Jingzhong never worried about his son's marriage, he was already the father of two children when he was like Murong Chu.
