Everyone's gifts were not expensive, but it could be seen that they were all thoughtful. Even Lu Mingwan, who acted like a cockfighter all day long, did not hesitate to give Shen Lansui a box of pearls.
Shen Lansui accepted it with a smile and thanked him repeatedly.
Seeing that Lu Xingyue didn't move, the eldest lady asked, "What gift did Xingyue prepare for Lan Sui?"
Everyone immediately looked at Lu Xingyue.
Lu Xingyue said without changing his expression: "My gift will be given privately, and you will know when the time comes."
"What gift is so mysterious? Can't we tell you now?" The eldest lady was really curious.
Shen Lansui also wanted to know, but when Lu Xingyue didn't want to talk, his mouth was as hard to pry open as a clam shell.
"Since he said he would send it off in private, I'll see it in private." Shen Lan smiled and helped him out.
The birthday girl has already said so, so it’s naturally hard for others to follow up and ask.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone’s faces were more or less tinged with alcohol.
Just as the eldest lady was about to speak, a muffled sound of "dong" suddenly came from the seat.
Everyone followed the sound and saw Zhou Mengli crooked his hand and lying on the table. The wine glass was knocked off and fell on the carpet.
Seeing her drunken eyes, Shen Lansui couldn't help but smile, "My cousin seems drunk?"
Zhou Mengli raised her head drowsily, "Huh? I seem to be a little dizzy..."
Her voice softened and became indistinct.
The eldest lady shook her head helplessly: "This kid is really bad at drinking, that's all, He Jiao——"
Hejiao came in: "Madam."
"Help Miss Cousin go down to rest and make her some sobering soup."
"yes."
He Jiao helped Zhou Mengli stand up. When they arrived at the door, He Chu also offered his hand, and the two of them helped Zhou Mengli away.
"I'm a little dizzy too, so I'll excuse you." As soon as Shen Lansui stood up, the eldest lady suddenly stopped her.
"Lansui, wait a minute—"
Lu Xingyue narrowed his eyes.
Shen Lansui also became more vigilant, "What's wrong?"
"I have prepared a gift for you. Come with me."
The eldest lady walked to Shen Lansui and looked at her.
Shen Lansui didn't move, pretending to be confused and asked: "Where are you going? What gift?"
"This gift has some origins. I have to tell you alone. Don't worry, it's in my room."
The eldest lady reached out to grab her, but Lu Xingyue suddenly grabbed Shen Lansui's hand and pulled her back, avoiding it.
The eldest lady was stunned for a moment, then she laughed and said, "Don't be so nervous. Can I still harm you in my own house?"
Shen Lansui lowered her eyes and glanced at Lu Xingyue's hand. Lu Xingyue was also looking at her and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to go?"
Shen Lansui was also thinking about this problem. If she didn't go in front of so many people, it would be too disrespectful to the eldest lady. Moreover, she had such a low attitude and refused her directly. This would probably spread to Duke Rong Guo. To affect their father-son relationship.
Although Duke Rong Guo was not Lu Xingyue's biological father, she could tell that Lu Xingyue respected Duke Rong Guo very much.
She could ignore the eldest lady's face, but she had to consider Duke Rong.
However, before she could speak, the eldest lady added, "This gift has something to do with Xingyue."
Lu Xingyue's face darkened slightly.
Just as he was about to stand up, Shen Lansui raised his hand and held his shoulders, gave him a look, and said to the doctor, "Then I really have to go and take a look."
Lu Mingwan glared at Lu Xingyue: "Look at how petty you are. You always feel that others are trying to harm you. You don't even think about what you have to worry about. If you are sick, treat it. Don't treat yourself like a villain. I’m trying to figure it out, mother!”
Lu Mingchao looked at the eldest lady, then at Shen Lansui, and asked hesitantly: "What is mother talking about? Since it is related to the third brother, does father know?"
As soon as these words came out, Lu Jingzhi, who was half asleep, woke up. Everyone noticed something was wrong and looked at Lu Mingchao one after another.
Lu Mingwan was shocked, "Brother? What did you say?!"
Shen Lansui was surprised and quickly realized. It seemed that Lu Mingchao had found something and her divorce plan had taken effect.
"I'm just asking, what are you excited about?" Lu Mingchao's expression remained unchanged. He was speaking to Lu Mingwan, but he kept looking at the eldest lady.
The eldest lady's face stiffened slightly for a moment, then returned to normal, "I will tell your father when he comes back, and he will support him if he knows. After all, it is not an ordinary thing."
Now that we have talked about it, Shen Lansui is really curious about what the eldest lady's so-called gift is. If it is fake, everyone will be able to expose it as soon as she goes out. There is no need.
If it's true...
It was related to Lu Xingyue, and she really wanted to get it back.
"Since it has something to do with me, can't I watch it?" Lu Xingyue stood up and looked directly at the eldest lady.
The eldest lady was silent for a moment, then smiled suddenly, "Yes, yes, but it's hard for you to listen to our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's private words. How about you wait outside?"
Shen Lansui and Lu Xingyue looked at each other, and Lu Xingyue nodded, "Okay."
Lu Mingchao, Lu Mingwan and Lu Jingzhi were left looking at each other in confusion.
Lu Jingzhi waved his hand, "I'm drunk too, so I'm going back first."
"Let me see you off." Lu Mingchao saw that she couldn't walk straight, so he asked someone to help her.
Lu was left sitting there alone sulking tomorrow night.

"Xingyue go to Nuang Pavilion and wait. I'll take Lan Sui in and I'll be out in a moment."
Arriving outside the eldest lady's bedroom, the eldest lady glanced at Lu Xingyue and said jokingly, "You're not going to follow me, are you?"
Lu Xingyue glanced at Nuange next to him and said to Shen Lansui, "I'll wait for you to come out."
Immediately, a nanny stepped forward and opened the curtain of the Nuan Pavilion. Lu Xingyue was not in a hurry to go in. He took a quick look inside to make sure there was nothing unusual inside before taking a step forward.
The eldest lady took Shen Lansui into the bedroom.
The bedroom is as warm as spring, the furnishings are low-key and luxurious, and some incense is burning in the incense burner. The smell is thick but not cloying, which is in line with the personality of the eldest lady.
Shen Lansui didn't look much, the eldest lady went straight in, sat down on the couch, and said to the maid: "Bring the mahogany box on my dressing table."
The maid obeyed and took out a long box, less than the length of the forearm, which looked like jewelry.
The eldest lady put the box on the low table and said to Shen Lansui: "Sit down."
Shen Lansui sat down opposite her, "This is -"
The eldest lady flicked it gently, the buckle fell, and the cover was lifted, revealing Jin Buyao inside.
Bu Yao is full of brilliance and inlaid with precious gems. It is worth a lot at first glance.
Shen Lansui was puzzled, "What is the connection between Bu Yao and Xing Yue?"
There was no one else around at this time, and the eldest lady was too lazy to pretend anymore, and said with a faint smile: "Don't you know? Didn't Lu Xingyue tell you? He is not my son at all, he is the offspring of Lu Yanning and a wild man! This is Jin Buyao was a greeting gift given to me by Lu Yanning when I first came here."
The eldest lady picked up the step and walked up to Shen Lansui. Her eyes were gloomy. The golden step fell into her hand. It didn't look like jewelry, but more like a dagger. It seemed that she would stab Shen Lansui in the next moment. Heart.
Shen Lansui narrowed his eyes, Lu Yanning?
Isn't that the sister of Rong Guogong who died of illness in his early years?
Lu Xingyue is Lu Yanning's son? ?
