It's almost April, and the peach blossoms in the Mansion of Chu have almost fallen, and some servants and servants have begun to salvage the petals that have piled up on the surface of the lake, so that they will not be able to flow out and stink.

The Duchess of Chu stood on the covered bridge and watched, and saw Wu Wenjie coming back from a distance, and beckoned to her son with a smile.

Wu Wenjie ran a few steps, got on the covered bridge in one breath, and without saying a word, he looked angrily at the Duchess of Chu and puffed out her cheeks: "Mother! Is someone from the Wei family here?! ”

The smile on the face of the Duchess of Chu disappeared, and she frowned and asked quietly, "Are you going to the Lu family again?" Didn't I say you shouldn't go over lately? ”

Wu Wenjie didn't care about his mother's questioning, and the disgust on his face couldn't be hidden: "Anyway, no matter what, I won't marry that ugly bastard!" Didn't you also say that she was not as good as Linlang? Why don't you quit yet? ”

The Duchess of Chu reached out and chiseled on her son's head, and scolded without anger: "It's really open-mouthed, I've told you many times, some things can be said on what occasions, and when can't be said, you have to think about it yourself, you will never listen to it!" With such a big person, is it possible that your parents will stay with you for the rest of your life? ”

With that, she turned and left.

Wu Wenjie followed her unrelentingly, and followed her back to the yard, seeing that she was still indifferent, he couldn't help but lose his temper: "Mother, why do you always force me to marry that ugly monster?!" She doesn't deserve me at all! ”

The Duchess of Chu couldn't help laughing: "What a stupid child." She raised her eyebrows languidly and nobly, looked at her newly dyed nails, and blew unhurriedly on them.

Then she took a moment to say: "Don't worry, I won't let you marry, you can do whatever you want." ”

Wu Wenjie originally planned to argue with his mother, and he was even ready to be taught a lesson by his father, after all, this family affair was decided before he was born, and he knew that he had a marriage contract with Lu Mingwei since he was a child, and his parents have always emphasized this.

Every time he mentioned quitting his family before, his mother frowned and scolded him for messing around, and when his father was angry, he didn't hesitate to beat him.

This time, Mrs. Wei personally put pressure, he originally thought that he would have to shed his skin if he didn't die, but he didn't expect that he hadn't said anything, but his mother suddenly agreed.

This made him a little confused, and he looked at his mother blankly and asked hesitantly, "Mother, what did you say?" ”

When the Duchess of Chu Guo saw him looking dumbfounded, she felt funny, and couldn't help but burst out laughing: "I said, if you don't like it, then let's quit." ”

Wu Wenjie didn't expect that there would be such a good thing that fell from the sky, and he was carried away by the excitement for a while, and it took a long time before his eyes widened: "Are you serious?" ”

The Duchess of Chu raised her eyebrows: "Naturally, it's true, what's the benefit of lying to you?" However, you have to promise your mother one thing. ”

As long as he can not really marry Lu Mingwei, it is too late for Wu Wenjie to be happy, he doesn't care what the Duchess of Chu wants to promise himself, even if he agrees without hesitation: "As long as you don't let me marry that ugly monster, it's okay!" ”

The children's family always regards whether they like it or not as a big thing, and the Duchess of Chu Guo sighed and lowered her eyes lightly: "Do you remember that you once saw a black carved box when you were a child?" ”

Wu Wenjie couldn't remember it clearly, and he didn't quite understand: "Black carved boxes are everywhere in our house, and my mother wants as many as she wants." ”

"Fool!" The Duchess of Chu scolded in a low voice, and reminded him in a deep voice: "It's the black box from Lu Mingwei!" Have you forgotten that on Lu Mingwei's tenth birthday, her grandmother gave her a pair of sapphire head jewelry?! ”

Wu Wenjie was a little impressed, the sapphire head was beautiful, when Mrs. Wei gave away this sapphire head, everyone was shocked, and Lin and Lu Linlang were still envious.

Lu Linlang once wanted that set of sapphire jewelry, but Lu Mingwei had a lot of things there, especially this kind of such a precious thing, if she took it, Mrs. Wei would definitely not give up, so no one touched her idea.

Now that the Duchess of Chu suddenly mentioned it, Wu Wenjie realized: "Mother, do you want me to take this set of jewelry?" ”

He was a little strange, although the head of this set of sapphires was indeed exquisite, but the Guogong Mansion was also a wealthy family, how could his mother think about Lu Mingwei's set of jewelry?

The Duchess of Chu nodded affirmatively, still with a friendly smile: "Yes, I agree with you to withdraw from your family, as long as you can bring me back this set of sapphire jewelry, I will agree to your withdrawal and propose marriage to Lu Linlang for you." ”

Although it is still strange why the Duchess of Chu is so obsessed with this set of jewelry, Wu Wenjie can't care about this strangeness at all.

It's just a set of jewelry, as long as he asks for it, Lu Mingwei won't hesitate at all, she is just a dog who comes and goes when she is called.

"I'll go now!" Wu Wenjie jumped up from his chair at once.

"Wait!" The Duchess of Chu Guo coughed and said softly: "I want to tell you again, this matter can only be known by yourself, other people, even if it is Lu Linlang, don't show me the slightest rumor!" ”

Wu Wenjie was a little confused by what his mother said, but in the end he nodded ignorantly.

At this time, Xu's mother was sitting on the stool under the south window, holding a book for Lu Mingwei to take inventory: "Most of the girl's things were added by Mrs. Tai, and now they are all inventoried, and the valuable things are here." ”

The Wei family has been on the border for generations, and people say that military attaches can make a fortune, and the Wei family will also participate in some businesses such as skins because they are backed by the border, after all, they are the local snakes, and they have a convenient identity, so the Wei family has always been very rich.

Mrs. Wei is also very willing to Lu Mingwei, and she has given her countless things since she was a child.

Lu Mingwei quietly took the book and flipped through it, her eyes stopped at one place, and then she spoke softly: "On my tenth birthday, my grandmother once gave me a set of sapphire heads, is this one?" ”

Mother Xu was on an errand, and she knew Lu Mingwei's things very well, so she didn't think twice when she heard the words: "It's this set, you were too young at the time, and you couldn't take the whole set of head and face, so you kept it, so many years, you haven't taken it out and looked at it again." ”

Lu Mingwei tugged at the corners of her mouth, lowered her eyes and said, "Go and take it out." ”

Mother Xu didn't ask anything, and hurriedly responded.
