Hearing this, Lu Lianzhi was obviously stunned.

When she saw that Lu Shangxuan's expression didn't look like she was joking with herself, Lu Lianzhi's heart began to be faintly flustered.

"What's wrong with my brother today, isn't it angry with my sister-in-law?"

Seeing that Lu Lianzhi behaved so well-behaved, Lu Shangxuan reluctantly spit out the inexplicable suffocating breath in his chest, and said in a soothing tone: "It's nothing, where does she dare to give me anger, it's just that I can't figure it out myself." ”

Lu Lianzhi persuaded a few words softly: "Actually, I think it's better for my sister-in-law not to go, after all, since the child disappeared, my sister-in-law has been living in the mansion in a simple way, so I can't help but be a little unable to get on the stage, in case there is a mess at General Xiao's celebration banquet, wouldn't it be a shame for the county king's mansion?" ”

If it had been placed before, Lu Shangxuan would have thought the same, but the abnormality of Dou Ripples in the past few months still made him hesitate.

After a while, Lu Shangxuan shook his head and denied: "I don't think she is the kind of person who will live in seclusion, the money income in the house in the past two months is obviously much more than before, it must be the reason why she is back in charge of the middle feed, if I attend the celebration banquet with her, maybe not only will I not lose face, but I can also surprise me." ”

Hearing this, Lu Lianzhi's fingers clenched in her sleeves suddenly, she turned her back unwillingly, staring at the pot of lilies by the window with her eyes grim, but her voice said softly with uneasiness: "Maybe this is just your own guess, brother?" No matter how powerful my sister-in-law is, she is just a woman's family, where can she support the entire county king's mansion by herself, brother, don't be easily deceived by her. ”

Lu Shangxuan narrowed his eyes and asked in a cold voice, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"What Lian'er means is that the county king's mansion has just broken with Fengxue Pavilion, and the sister-in-law will be able to climb to Boss Qin immediately, and this successive business cooperation is something that many people outside can't ask for, and I hope my brother will find out what is strange in the meantime. Otherwise, if one day the sister-in-law does something wrong outside under the pretext of earning money for the county king's mansion, wouldn't it be a shame for the entire county palace? ”

Seeing that Lu Shangxuan had been silent behind his back and did not answer, Lu Lianzhi picked up the silver scissors by the window, patiently cut the yellowed lily petals in front of her little by little, and continued to whisper without hurry: "I know that my brother and sister-in-law get along day and night, and sooner or later they will have feelings for their sister-in-law, and I will definitely make my brother unhappy when I say this, but brother, Lian'er is also a woman, and she will also be jealous that your sister-in-law occupies the name of your wife, and even the position of this celebration banquet must be given up by her to take the initiative to have it." ”

As soon as the words fell, Lu Shangxuan hurriedly got up and explained anxiously: "Lian'er, what nonsense are you talking about, how can I have feelings for a woman who has skin-to-skin relationships with other men?" If it weren't for the fact that her father is Dou Xiang, do you really think I am willing to marry her as a wife? ”

"Really? But people are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless, brother, dare to say that you have never been moved by your sister-in-law? ”

Seeing that Lu Lianzhi had been refusing to turn around to look at herself, Lu Shangxuan had no choice but to step forward, hug her from behind, and repeatedly reassure: "Naturally, I have never moved my heart!" Lian'er, she was stalking me all the time, and she moved out of her father's identity to suppress me, I had no choice but to do it, hey, in short, you just need to remember that when she has no use value, there will be no place for her in this county palace! ”

The constant ironing temperature behind him made the corners of Lu Lianzhi's mouth rise slightly, and she was secretly happy in her heart.

In this way, it seems that she must have attended this celebration banquet.

She put down the silver scissors in her hand, leaned her face sideways against Lu Shangxuan's chest, and said in a mournful tone: "When will Lian'er be able to stand by your side in a bright and bright way, as a wife, you must know that Lian'er already hates the name of the second lady of the county king's mansion." ”

"Lian'er, don't worry, I will definitely take you to this celebration banquet!"

"Well," Lu Lianzhi's eyes secretly flashed a triumphant smile, she nodded, and responded softly: "I naturally believe in you, brother." ”

In the evening of the same day, Lu Shangxuan went to Mrs. Lu's house and told her about the preparations for bringing Lu Lianzhi to the celebration banquet.

Old Madam Lu's face darkened.

She slapped the table with anger, and scolded mercilessly: "Ridiculous, ridiculous, this General Xiao's celebration banquet is child's play, not to mention that the eldest princess will also attend at that time, if she sees that you don't bring your wife, but take that woman with you, do you know what will happen then!" ”

The eldest princess?

That's Mrs. Dou's friend, if she is also at the celebration banquet, it will never let Lianniang say that she is sick!

Lu Shangxuan asked with some surprise: "But mother, isn't the eldest princess about to give birth?" Why would you still participate? ”

Old Madam Lu frowned and replied: "Listening to the meaning of the palace, this time not only to celebrate General Xiao's achievements, but also to take advantage of this celebration banquet to pick out suitable people from those unmarried nobles in the capital to marry General Xiao." But these are not important, in short, if something goes wrong at the celebration banquet, the eldest princess will blame it, and no one can afford it! ”

"Got it, mother, I'll let Lianniang go with me."

Hearing this, Lu Shangxuan nodded, knowing that this celebration banquet was not trivial, so he completely broke off the heart of letting Lu Lianzhi show up.

Seeing that Lu Shangxuan was still willing to listen to his words, the expression on Mrs. Lu's face also eased, she held the teacup in her hand, and said thoughtfully: "I heard that the eldest princess has also prepared a lot of colorful heads for this celebration banquet, if you or Ripple can win one or two, it will be beneficial to our county king's mansion." ”

Thinking that Dou Lianyi had rejected this celebration banquet earlier, and didn't know how to convince her, Lu Shangxuan had a little headache, and casually replied absentmindedly: "Let's take a look then." ”

After leaving Mrs. Lu's courtyard, Lu Shangxuan hesitated, but walked in the direction of the study.

After Lu Shangxuan walked away, a person slowly came out of the corner, it was Li Ke.

The expression on his face was a little gloomy, and he listened to the conversation in the room just now, thinking of how sad the second lady would be when she learned the news, Li Ke couldn't wait to replace Lu Shangxuan.

As Li Ke guessed, Lu Lianzhi learned from him that she couldn't go to the celebration banquet, and she had to watch Lu Shangxuan and Dou Lianyi, the slut, play the role of husband and wife in front of everyone, so angry that she got up suddenly, her eyes were dark, and she almost fainted.
