The woman seemed to have seen through Zhou Ruyu's heartbeat. She only said, "What? You are not attracted to Mr. Lu, are you?"
Zhou Ruyu didn't expect this girl to speak so straightforwardly, and she was a little embarrassed for a moment.
Unexpectedly, before she could speak, the woman suddenly said, "But it's useless for you to be tempted. Mr. Lu has never seen any kind of beauties. He didn't even fall in love with a peerless beauty like Princess Jin back then. You're just like this." It’s even more hopeless.”
Zhou Ruyu was somewhat unhappy when he heard what the other party said.
"What do you mean?"
But the woman said nonchalantly, "You just mean it's impossible. Mr. Lu likes the kind of women who are smart. Women who can go to the hall, cook, take care of people, and take care of the housework. Her ex-wife is That kind of thing, you are not the virtuous type at first glance, there is no way he would like you!"
Hearing the woman's words, Zhou Ruyu felt horrified and shocked. He didn't expect that the other party was actually a second marriage, but he was also a second marriage, so it might not be a matter of who disliked whom.
But she still asked one more question, "What is his ex-wife like? Do they have children? Why did his ex-wife leave?"
The woman was bored when she heard Zhou Ruyu's question, and she immediately began to share with Zhou Ruyu the gossip that everyone in the capital knew.
"The ex-wife of Marquis Lu is the eldest daughter of the former Duke's family. Her name is Qi Peipei. But don't think this name can scare people, but the Duke of Qi's family doesn't have any real power, let alone many good official positions. The Duke's family is nothing more than a showman. Moreover, when Mr. Lu fell in love with Qi Peipei, the Duke of Qi was deprived of his title because of the wrong side. He was reduced to an ordinary family."
"But at a time when everyone was trying to avoid Duke Qi's mansion, Mr. Lu rose to the challenge and insisted on marrying Qi Peipei."
When Zhou Ruyu heard the other party talk about Lu Zhizhang's insistence on marrying a girl from a down-to-earth family, Zhou Ruyu didn't find it romantic. She just felt that the other party either had other plans or was out of his mind.
But the handsome young man didn't look like he was out of his mind, so she said without thinking, "Is it because he insists on marrying that woman because of her beauty?"
After all, it is recognized that men are lustful.
Unexpectedly, the woman rolled her eyes at Zhou Ruyu, "Master Lu is not such a superficial person. Qi Peipei is an ordinary person, and his appearance is not even as good as mine."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ruyu couldn't help but glance at the other party subconsciously.
In her opinion, this woman was actually very ordinary.
If he is not as good as her, then wouldn't he be extremely ordinary?
Is this Mr. Lu's vision really so ordinary?
Zhou Ruyu naturally didn't believe it.
"How can a man not be lustful? Isn't it possible that he married her because this woman used some extraordinary methods?"
After hearing Zhou Ruyu's words, the woman was not happy.
"You can't be kind to others. How can Mr. Lu be the same as those ordinary people? Besides, that woman's influence on Mr. Lu is very extraordinary. Mr. Lu has never looked at another woman after her. Even for the sake of Mr. Lu has not remarried that woman for so many years, and it has been three years now."
After hearing this, Zhou Ruyu seemed to believe it, but she still raised her last doubt: "If he likes the other person so much, why does he want to reconcile with the other person?"
Upon hearing this, the woman immediately rolled her eyes at Zhou Ruyu, "It's not Heli, it's the woman who died."
Hearing this, Zhou Ruyu just said, "Why are you dead?"
The woman only said, "Some time ago, a perverted masked man appeared in the capital. That man specializes in killing single women. It was unfortunate that Qi Peipei happened to be alone in a restaurant that day, and then she was killed by the masked man. Master Lu spent the whole night trying to find the murderer for his beloved wife."
When he heard that the other party had been killed, Zhou Ruyu suddenly felt unlucky.
She always felt that if a man with a big family and a big business could let his wife die like this and let her be left alone when it was unsafe, then he would definitely not love her very much.
But next to
The little girl next to me obviously still believes in this kind of love fairy tale.
After all, they haven't had much contact with men yet, and they also have many unrealistic fantasies about men.
She didn't bother to say more, and if she did, they would just think she was being nosy.
Zhou Ruyu only asked the question she cared about, "Do they have children?"
The woman immediately shook her head after hearing this.
At this moment, Zhou Ruyu was even more sure that the other party did not have much love for his ex-wife.
After all, if the other party really loves his wife, they will definitely have at least one child, unless their time together is too short.
However, it is actually a good thing for Zhou Ruyu that the other party does not have children.
After all, she didn't want to marry a widower with children, and she didn't like being called mother by another woman's child.
Although Lu Zhizhang no longer has the initial appeal in her mind, he is still a good choice.
Because of this, when she saw that there was finally no one around, she wanted to go up and continue chatting with him.
Unexpectedly, the second sister-in-law also came at this time, and she was very attentive to Mr. Lu as soon as she arrived.
"Master Lu, why didn't you tell us when you came? Look, we didn't even know you were here. Master Lu, you can't stay in a place like this. This is not the place for you to stay. I'll take you You go somewhere else."
Lu Zhizhang didn't want to be special. When he heard the other party's solicitude, he just refused and said, "It doesn't matter. I just stay here. Madam doesn't need to worry about me."
As soon as Zhou Ruyu saw her second sister-in-law Zheng appearing, she immediately joined her.
"Second sister-in-law, what's wrong with Mr. Lu?"
When Mrs. Zheng saw Zhou Ruyu coming over, she just rolled her eyes at her. Seeing how fancy she was, she might have thought that she was the bride coming to get married.
And this damn girl knows how to be lazy, jumping around while she and her mother are busy. She actually still has the intention to hide here for peace and quiet.
As soon as she saw Zhou Ruyu's appearance, Mrs. Zheng felt unhappy in her heart.
But looking at Lu Zhizhang and Zhou Ruyu at this moment, Zheng also knew in her heart that Zhou Ruyu was still somewhat useful.
Therefore, she immediately changed her face to a smile and said, "Ruyu, you are here."
In order to get close to Lu Zhizhang, Zhou Ruyu could only pretend to smile and say, "Uncle, Master Lu didn't know how to get to Weixin Hall, so I brought him here."
Then she just pretended to ask, "Aunt, where are you taking Mr. Lu?"
When Mrs. Zheng heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "This Mr. Lu is the great benefactor of our Zhou family. Naturally, the benefactor must be present."
"What kind of favor?" Zhou Ruyu immediately asked gossiping after hearing this.
Zheng was counting on Zhou Ruyu to go to Lu Zhizhang to talk things over, so she didn't hide his identity from Zhou Ruyu at this moment.
"Master Lu is the young minister of Dali Temple and one of the people who took charge of the Yunzhou Prefect's case this time. Your second uncle's return this time has something to do with Master Lu."
Upon hearing that his second uncle had returned at this time, the smile on Zhou Ruyu's face immediately disappeared.
This is what her mother said. It turns out that the second uncle is really back. When the second uncle comes back, they will all go back. .z.
Seeing her look like this, Mrs. Zheng knew that she must have heard what her mother said, so she immediately smiled and said, "Yu'er, since you brought me here, we will also give words to persuade Mr. Lu." Bar."
Zhou Ruyu nodded silently when he heard this.
I have to admit that Zhou Ruyu is better at calming down than her mother.
After a while, Zhou Ruyu also smiled and said, "Master Lu, if I know that you are a distinguished guest of our Zhou Mansion, I will never lure you here. Master Lu, just listen to my aunt and go and sit down, otherwise After a while, everyone in our family may complain that I shouldn’t have brought you here.”
After listening to Zhou Ruyu's words, Lu Zhizhang finally said, "Well, since the girl has said so, I don't want to embarrass the girl. Today
I'll go with the girl. "
After hearing this, Zhou Ruyu immediately led the way diligently. When Zheng saw this, she stopped obstructing her. She just praised Zhou Ruyu without leaving a trace along the way.
After the people were arranged into the inner room, Mrs. Zheng said to Zhou Ruyu, "Yu'er, your second uncle is back. Let's go over and see him."
Although Zhou Ruyu was reluctant after hearing what Zheng said, she couldn't refuse Zheng's request in front of outsiders, so she had no choice but to leave with Zheng.
After Zheng waited for Zhou Ruyu to go out, she immediately said to Zhou Ruyu, "Yu'er, did you hear what your mother said just now?"
Zhou Ruyu didn't like to see Mrs. Zheng, "I don't know what you are talking about."
Zheng was not angry when she heard this. She just whispered, "Yu'er, you can't believe what your mother said. Although your second uncle is back, it doesn't mean that he will definitely be acquitted."
Hearing Zheng's words, Zhou Ruyu seemed to understand Zheng's meaning, so she immediately said, "Little aunt, what do you mean by this?"
When Mrs. Zheng heard this, she immediately said, "What can I mean? Yu'er, I just hope you can talk to Mr. Lu. After all, he is the key figure in charge of the case of Yunzhou Prefect. I don't think he should be treated as such." You are different from others, maybe you can ask something, why don't you go to his place and ask about your little uncle."
After hearing this, Zhou Ruyu knew what Zheng meant. After hearing Zheng's words, her mother was shocked. Maybe things were not at their worst yet.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but chuckle, "That's what my aunt meant. Okay, I'll go talk to Mr. Lu later."
After the words fell, Zhou Ruyu seemed to be ready to go, but at this moment Zheng took Zhou Ruyu's arm and said, "Yu'er, you are not in a hurry to go now. Your uncle is back, why don't we go and see him first?" See your uncle?"
Zhou Ruyu was quite smart. After reacting, she just nodded immediately.
Then they just walked to the Zhou family hall.
