After all, she was still a few seconds behind, and Zhang Yue had already left with Zhang Xinlan in her arms.

In the past few years of Zhang Xinlan's illness, she has lost weight, and it is not difficult to buy clothes, and she chose the right clothes after shopping for an hour.

was happily preparing to go to Zhou's house together at night, but the good mood was ruined when he met the mother and son of the Wu family.

On the way back, Zhang Xinlan sighed, and finally couldn't help but say, "Moon, you're not too young, and your mother doesn't want to care about love, but you must not suffer, understand?"

"You know, we've been arguing for the past two days, and he's probably still angry." Zhang Yue couldn't help but explain for Wu Senhuai.

"You just have a plan in your heart, quarrels are quarrels, don't affect tonight's dinner."

Zhang Xinlan patted the back of Zhang Yue's hand and sighed softly in her heart.

Maybe there was a real quarrel, but Wu Sen lost the face of her elder, which is really ...... Rude.

——

Zhou Zhai.

Mrs. Zhou ordered someone to prepare today's dinner in advance, and all the subordinates were busy in full swing.

"Just treat this place as your home, your daughter will be the mistress here in the future, you are welcome."

She saw Zhang Xinlan sitting on the sofa a little cramped, and hurriedly asked her subordinates to serve tea and snacks.

Zhang Xinlan was already trying her best to restrain her nervousness, but she still inevitably showed some of it.

She smiled at Mrs. Zhou, and Lu Qianning eased the atmosphere from time to time on the side, and after a while, she became less nervous.

When dinner was ready in the kitchen, the next person came over to invite them to dinner, and just as a group of people were about to take a seat in the dining room, two "uninvited guests" suddenly came.

Su Lijuan and Sheng Yangyang.

Su Lijuan is slightly chubby, dressed gracefully and luxuriously, and has the image of a noblewoman.

Sheng Yangyang, who was following her, deliberately suppressed the edge, as if he was following to make soy sauce, and Chong Lu Qianning and Zhou Beijing smiled.

"Mom, why didn't a guest tell me?" Su Lijuan walked over slowly, passed by Zhang Xinlan, walked to Mrs. Zhou's side, and stretched out her hand to help.

She deliberately took Mrs. Zhou to the restaurant, but Mrs. Zhou deliberately stood still.

Turning his head to look at Zhang Xinlan, he said with a smile, "I'm old, it's enough to entertain a wave of guests at a time, I really can't handle it when there are too many people, but since I've arrived together, Xinlan, don't mind, today is dominated by you."

This means that Su Lijuan and Sheng Yangyang are just guests.

Under Mrs. Zhou's repeated emphasis, Zhang Xinlan and Zhang Yue sat on the left hand side of the main seat.

Lu Qianning and Zhou Beijing sat on the right hand side of the main seat, as for Su Lijuan and Sheng Yangyang, if they wanted to sit, they would go to the back row, and they would leave if they didn't sit.

Su Lijuan didn't seem to mind, sat down next to Zhang Yue, and interjected a few sentences from time to time when they were talking about marriage, but she didn't deliberately embarrass her.

Seeing her coming, Mrs. Zhou was not happy in her heart, she couldn't get rid of it like a piece of stinky shit!

But after thinking about it, the bride price can't be delayed any longer, she can't wait!

Turning back to give the old butler a look, the old butler turned around and brought over a box.

The delicate wooden box is beautiful, and the carved flowers are detailed and lifelike.

"This is our Zhou family's ancestral bracelet, I'll give it to you first." Old Madam Zhou took out a red bag of tips.

Su Lijuan's hand holding the chopsticks tightened, she had been married to Zhou Qishan for so many years, and she didn't see Mrs. Zhou give her the bracelet.

Now that Lu Qianning hasn't passed the door, he took it out?

Mrs. Zhou was very direct and asked Lu Qianning to stretch out her hand, wanting to put it on her directly, but she just grabbed her hand and felt that it was wrong.

His eyes fell on Zhou Beijing and said, "You should wear this, after all, she is the person you approve."

As for Su Lijuan, Zhou Qishan can only verbally approve, nothing!

Zhou Beijing got up and bypassed Lu Qianning, took the bracelet from Mrs. Zhou's hand, and gently put it on Lu Qianning.

Under the bright light, the bracelet is crystal clear, and the value can be known at a glance

Expensive.

Su Lijuan stared closely at the bracelet on Lu Qianning's wrist, not to mention anything else, Lu Qianning wore this bracelet as soon as she entered Zhou's house, and directly pressed her!

She put down her chopsticks angrily, making a crisp "bang" sound.

Old Madam Zhou had already caught a glimpse of her being unhappy, and she was still smashing chopsticks and bowls at this time, who would she show her?

"Look, it's so beautiful, this thin skin and tender flesh is worthy of this bracelet, come, raise your hand and I'll see—"

She deliberately grabbed Lu Qianning's hand and raised it high.

At the end, he turned his head and asked Zhang Xinlan, "Xinlan, is it good-looking?"

"Beautiful." Zhang Xinlan smiled with satisfaction.

Old Madam Zhou turned her head and asked Zhou Beijing again, "How is it?" Our ancestors of the Zhou family have a good vision, right? After all these years, it's still very good."

"Yes, it's pretty." Zhou Beijing quietly agreed, returned to his seat and sat down.

Then I heard Mrs. Zhou say, "Su Lijuan, haven't you seen it? Would you like to come over and have a look? This thing, Qian Ning may be reluctant to wear it every day in the future, and you don't have a chance to see it often."

Su Lijuan: "......"

"If you don't look at it, forget it, otherwise you'll be red when you see it." Old Madam Zhou put down Lu Qianning's hand, squinted her eyes and smiled, "Put this thing away, someone in the province will be red-eyed, and I will steal it for you again."

Lu Qianning really didn't think that Mrs. Zhou was so good at crowding people, this refers to Sang scolding Huai and showing off her heart, and suddenly felt that sometimes Zhou Beijing's stinky temper was the same as her.

"And then there's the bride price." Mrs. Zhou took out a check in the wooden box and pushed it in front of Zhang Xinlan, "Look at this number, is it okay?"

Zhang Xinlan only glanced at it, then withdrew her gaze and pushed the check in front of Lu Qianning again, "Qianning's affairs, she has the final say."

There are all nine in the amount column on the check, and the maximum amount that a check can carry is how much.

"Old lady, just follow the rules of Jiang Cheng, this-"

"Jiangcheng's rule is to do what you can, and the bride price represents our Zhou family's heart for you, take it!" Mrs. Zhou directly put the check in Lu Qianning's hand.

Finally, he said, "If you don't want it, then you're not satisfied with the number, so I'll add more."

"Satisfied." Lu Qianning didn't postpone it anymore and put the check away.

Old Madam Zhou narrowed her eyes happily at this time, and said something that made Su Lijuan angry and did not pay for her life, "Only those who are recognized by others are worthy of my efforts to prepare a bride price, and some people don't spend a dime, so they will drill into our Zhou family."

may have thought that Su Lijuan had ruined the good atmosphere tonight, and Mrs. Zhou specially poked a knife in Su Lijuan's chest.

Su Lijuan's face was not good, but she still endured it in the end. Z.br>

After the dinner, Mrs. Zhou took Zhang Xinlan to the glass flower room to enjoy the flowers, chatting by the way.

Sheng Yangyang was going to find Lu Qianning and Zhou Beijing, but he didn't want them to be alone for a moment, but Clinker received a call from Su Lijuan halfway and asked her to go upstairs.

She could only turn back into the villa, and when she walked to the corner of the second floor, she was suddenly stopped by Cui Ling.

Cui Ling pulled her to a dark place, where there was no dead corner to hide, "Miss Sheng, I have something very important to tell you!"

"What's the matter?" Seeing that Cuiling's face was so bad, Sheng Yangyang became interested.

"I overheard the conversation between the old lady and Lu Qianning two days ago, and there seems to be some agreement between them, which started seven years ago."

Cui Ling kept her voice low, afraid of being heard.

Even if there is no one in the hallway, the instinct to do bad things is like a thief.

"Anything else?" Sheng Yangyang asked, last time Cui Ling heard Mrs. Zhou and Lu Qianning plotting behind Zhou Beijing's back.

This time it was confirmed that their agreement and conspiracy had begun seven years earlier.

Cui Ling racked her brains and thought about it for a long time, but she was a certain distance away at that time and couldn't hear clearly.

"I really can't hear what the content of the agreement is, but I just heard Lu Qianning say that there is going to be a showdown, and I can't hide it from the young master."

I don't know what to think, Sheng Yangyang's eyes trembled, his eyes slidied, and he immediately said, "You go back, I know it in my heart."

After speaking, she hurriedly turned around and went to Su Lijuan's room.

As soon as she entered, Su Lijuan's dissatisfaction poured out, "Do you have to let me come here, just to watch them and He Meimei give a bride price and discuss marriage? I let the old lady run for a long time, how did you do it?"

"Auntie, I seem to know a big secret!" Sheng Yangyang was silent for a while, and then spoke in a determined tone.

Su Lijuan was silent for a moment, then looked back at her, "Say it directly."

"Do you remember that the old lady once married a woman to Beijing? It is said that the woman was married in order to make an agreement for her mother's treatment, and to be angry."

At the beginning, Mrs. Zhou didn't deliberately hide the purpose of marrying that woman, so Sheng Yangyang and they all knew it.

。

At this time, Sheng Yangyang suddenly mentioned that Su Lijuan was not interested, "Didn't you get divorced a year ago? What are you talking about her for?"

"That person is Lu Qianning! Moreover, Beijing still doesn't know about it!" Sheng Yangyang's throat tightened with excitement.

At the beginning, Mrs. Zhou tried her best to promote that marriage, and Zhou Beijing never saw the woman again except for getting the certificate once.

Even the marriage certificate was kept at the old lady's place, Sheng Yangyang knocked on the side for a long time, and found that Zhou Beijing didn't know anything about the woman, so they relaxed their vigilance.

Su Lijuan's body stiffened, and she suddenly got up, "What? Really?"

After hesitating for a moment, Sheng Yangyang didn't dare to be too sure, but said, "I heard Lu Qianning's younger siblings say that Lu Qianning gave all the money to her stepmother for treatment after becoming Beijing's bed partner, but her stepmother fell ill when she graduated from college, where did she get the money to see a doctor before she entered Beizhou?"

She told Cui Ling all the words she had heard in bits and pieces.

speculated, it is almost certain that Lu Qianning is Zhou Beijing's former wife.

"This matter, we can't act rashly, go back to your uncle to discuss, let's go, let's go back!"

couldn't sit still, Su Lijuan packed up her things and took Sheng Yangyang downstairs, asked the old housekeeper to convey a word to Mrs. Zhou, and left in a hurry.

It was not early, and after Lu Qianning took Zhang Xinlan and them away, the old housekeeper told Mrs. Zhou that Su Lijuan and Sheng Yangyang had left.

"I was in a hurry to leave, and I thought they had to do something."

For example, sarcastically Zhang Xinlan's low background, or using the bride price to make a fuss.

Old Madam Zhou sat on the sofa, listening to the old housekeeper's words, fell into deep thought, and for a while she suddenly remembered something, "Go, check the monitoring for me, just check ...... Where has Cuiling been tonight?"
