"What? So Sister Lianzhi, she is now a widow in the house? ”

Xu Wanying raised her eyebrows in some surprise, and questioned repeatedly: "What about her in-laws?" Why didn't you stay widowed at your in-law's house but go back to your parents' house, this is not in accordance with the rules! ”

"This ......"

Dou Lianyi pretended to be embarrassed and glanced at Lu Lianzhi, seeing that her lungs were about to explode and she didn't dare to make a sound, she only felt extremely comfortable in her heart.

"Could it be that Sister Lianzhi's in-laws are no longer alive, right?"

Seeing that Dou Lianyi was noncommittal, Xu Wanying was so shocked by her guess that her eyes widened, and she covered her mouth so as not to let herself exclaim.

"That's it!"

Old Madam Lu saw that she was also scolded, and if she didn't say anything, she was afraid that she would become the person with a thin life, so she immediately spoke out to stop this absurd conversation.

Mrs. Dingguohou saw enough of the excitement, and then raised her hand to pull Xu Wanying back to her side, gently slapped her a few times, and said angrily: "Why are you so open-mouthed, fortunately, your aunt is not the kind of stingy person, and she won't care so much about you, otherwise she won't have to scold you." ”

Xu Wanying bit her lower lip, turned around after saying "oh", and just happened to see Dou Lianyi looking at her, so she winked at her.

Seeing this, Dou Lianyi's eyes also faintly showed a slight smile.

Mrs. Dingguo Hou said calmly to Mrs. Lu, who was not worried: "My daughter always speaks so straightforwardly, if there is anything that makes you and Lianzhi feel uncomfortable, don't take it to heart, she didn't mean it." ”

Having said that, Mrs. Lu didn't want to say anything more, but she was not happy in her heart, so she said around the corner: "Where will it be, I also know that Wanying, this child has always been straightforward, but I don't know if I am worried that she will offend people outside in the future." ”

Mrs. Dingguo Hou calmly responded: "That's not afraid, after all, Wanying is so direct in front of her family, and she still understands the rules of the outside world." ”

The smile on Mrs. Lu's face stiffened, she only felt that her chest was congested, and she didn't want to talk nonsense with her stepsister anymore, so she motioned to Lu Lianzhi to help her quickly take a seat.

Lu Lianzhi, who was so squeezed that she had nothing to say, couldn't wait to leave the mother and daughter quickly, she helped Mrs. Lu to walk hurriedly to the main seat.

Lu Shangxuan, who was left with a pale face, and Dou Lianyi stood in place and glanced at each other, and before he could speak, Dou Lianyi turned his head sideways, and made a round play to the guests who had watched a good show and were still unsatisfied, and laughed loudly: "Isn't it that the dishes of this family banquet today are not to everyone's taste, why are they all standing here and not sitting?" ”

Hearing this, everyone glanced at each other, and they all echoed and snorted, and turned back to their positions.

After all, it was a Chongyang family banquet, in front of these nobles in the capital, Dou Lianyi didn't want to make a fuss too ugly, and said in a low voice when passing by Lu Shangxuan, who was still standing motionless in place: "Mother is waiting for you to go over, what's the matter until the family banquet is over." ”

Lu Shangxuan knew that what Dou Lianyi said was the truth, but he was really angry in his heart.

After the two walked to the main seat one after the other, his head was hot, so he deliberately sat next to Lu Lianzhi, sat on the opposite side with Dou Lianyi, and even glanced at her defiantly, thinking that this would make her feel shameless in front of everyone.

What kind of couple is affectionate, as long as he Lu Shangxuan is unwilling, then she Dou Lianyi can only become a laughing stock in his mouth that is disgusted by her husband!

Unexpectedly, Dou Lianyi just raised his eyes and glanced over, and then turned his face to the side without notice and talked to Fu Qing.

As for the other guests, they will only think that Dou Lianyi is a person who has advanced and retreated in the world, and at first glance he is a person who can pick up the burden of being the head of the house.

On the contrary, the old and small Lu family are a little unacceptable.

"Brother, wouldn't it be nice if you didn't go and sit with your sister-in-law?"

Lu Lianzhi, who was beside him, was in a much better mood because of his move, but he also pretended to think about Dou Lianyi, and pretended to persuade Lu Shangxuan a few words.

"No, we're a family, what's wrong with sitting together."

Seeing that Dou Lianyi didn't care at all, Lu Shangxuan could only grit his teeth and respond with a gloomy face.

This small turmoil was gently revealed, but how the Lu family would be discussed after that was not Dou Lianyi's concern.

In the next music and singing, the poems were played one by one, and seeing that there were no other accidents, Mrs. Lu's face began to improve.

The guests of honor enjoyed each other, and the whole chrysanthemum garden resounded with laughter.

By the time the feast was over and the guests had gradually returned, it was already night and the sky was full of stars.

However, because the operation of this Chongyang family banquet had nothing to do with Dou Lianyi, she withdrew early, and Fu Qing also slipped out with her.

"I've told the stove room to bring some supper to my house later, and you can eat some with you."

"Thank you, young lady."

Dou Lianyi and Fu Qing walked forward along the corridor, chatting with each other.

The stream on the left side of the promenade winds its way to a lake not far away, where several pairs of mandarin ducks are frolicking as the setting sun falls.

I saw that sometimes they poked their heads into the bottom of the lake, and sometimes they crossed their necks, which was very interesting.

Seeing this, Dou Lianyi stopped, faced the autumn breeze, and watched quietly.

Fu Qing also stopped and looked at it for a while, I don't know if he looked at the mandarin duck and suddenly thought of something, he opened his mouth with some hesitation, and asked in a low voice: "Young lady, I don't know if I should say something or not." ”

"When did you learn this twisting and pinching style," Dou Lianyi didn't look down at him, but responded indifferently: "If you have something to say, just say it, are you still afraid of being scolded by me?" ”

"I'm not afraid of being scolded by the young lady, but I'm afraid of making the young lady unhappy."

Fu Qing said honestly.

Dou Lianyi didn't answer, but went straight down the corridor and found a place by the lake to sit down.

Seeing this, Fu Qing hurriedly took off his coat and spread it on the grass.

Dou Lianyi raised his hand and rubbed his head, and the two sat down.

"Let me guess, didn't you think of the things at the family banquet because you saw these pairs of mandarin ducks?"

She pointed to the surface of the lake and immediately guessed what Fu Qing wanted to say.

"Hmm."

Fu Qing lowered his head a little apprehensively, and said softly: "The relationship between Young Master Lu and Second Miss is too close, far more than the relationship between brother and sister, and I also heard that Young Master Lu and Second Miss are not brothers and sisters, it seems that there have been ridiculous things......"

His voice grew quieter with embarrassment, and by the end he was almost inaudible.

"How did you find out?"

"I ......"

Before Fu Qing could answer, Dou Lianyi interrupted him, smiled lightly, and said, "Forget it, I don't really care." ”
