Lu Xinlan had also read novels before. Although she was busy at work and had endless cases to solve, many of the newcomers in the team and the bureau's logistics people liked reading novels.
She also read a few of them on their strong recommendation.
Lu Xinran's sadomasochistic love story was deep, and she knew what kind of routine it was.
When she first read the article, she complained the most about this kind of article. She never thought that she would dress like a female pig's foot in this kind of article.
The moment she heard Lu Xinran's heartfelt voice, she almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
But knowing what she might encounter in the future, what she has to do now is to find a way to have nothing to do with the perverted fourth prince.
Someone sent Lu Xinran a thank-you gift, and she went to Pei's courtyard again.
He explained in detail to Mr. Pei what he had heard in the teahouse and Zhou Mansion.
"Grandma, my sister's ability seems to be too special. She can know many secrets of others.
"It wouldn't be a big deal if only she knew about it. My granddaughter doesn't have a trouble-making temperament when it comes to her sister's words and deeds.
"But she didn't know that others could hear her voice, and we couldn't disclose the matter to her. My granddaughter was afraid that more and more people would know about it, which would arouse others' suspicion in the future and threaten her life and stability. "
Lu Xinlan has been thinking about how to deal with the aftermath of this 'fellow' who came with him these days.
She knew too well what would happen to her if a superior person knew about her ability.
Mrs. Pei was slightly gloating at first, feeling that Fang Suxin was playing with fire and burning herself.
But after hearing her words, my heart fell to the bottom.
"In this matter, we need to think of a good countermeasure. That child Xinran has a wild temper and is not stable enough. There is no perfect way, even your grandfather may not be able to protect her."
Pei's head began to hurt again when she thought of how Lu Xinran's thoughts would gather like raindrops whenever something happened.
Lu Xinlan came here again not just to mention Lu Xinran and Fang Suxin.
She waited for Mrs. Pei to drop her hand and her expression returned to normal before she spoke softly.
"Grandma, my granddaughter's marriage to the fourth prince, why not just..."
Mrs. Pei: "...I will discuss this matter with your grandfather. This marriage is not something we don't want to do just because we don't want it to happen."
That was a marriage contract with the prince.
Although it was just verbal, it was mentioned casually by the emperor and Lu Jinchuan back then.
But there was no joke in the emperor's mouth. Everyone in the capital who heard about this knew that the eldest daughter of the Lu family would marry the fourth prince.
Even the fourth prince's biological mother often let Lu Xinlan's original body into the palace before.
From top to bottom, no one takes this marriage seriously. It is not that easy to break off the engagement now.
Lu Xinlan pursed her lips slightly, her face full of embarrassment: "Grandma, even without my sister's string of wishes, my granddaughter's marriage to the fourth prince would not have been possible. After all, my granddaughter is not the real eldest daughter of the Lu family."
Her biological parents were just ordinary farmers in the countryside, and she was just a farm girl.
The person the emperor wanted to marry was the eldest daughter of the Lu family, but now she no longer has this status.
Mrs. Pei responded in a low voice, already hearing the intention of her words.
"Okay, grandma knows. Just go back with peace of mind. Our Shangshu Mansion doesn't need to send the girls to stabilize their status."
And now that the emperor is in his prime, the Lu family doesn't want to be tied to the fourth prince because of their marriage.
In Lu Xinran's yard, she looked at the servants behind Dong Xue, and for a moment she was confused and confused.
How could he be so good and suddenly send so many good things?
There are complete sets of jewelry, the most fashionable brocades, exquisitely carved ornaments, and, well, a whole box of story books.
If he wanted her to see the wealth of Shangshu Mansion and let her know the honors that the eldest daughter of the Lu family would have, wouldn't it be great to call her to her courtyard and let her see her warehouse.
Sending so many good things here... What a waste!
Bitao looked at the set of paperweights that had been her master's favorite in the tray, her eyes full of confusion and disbelief.
Master, is this... crazy? !
After Lu Xinran was surprised, he smiled happily and asked someone to register the things in a book and put them away.
No matter what that guy’s intentions are, if something comes into her place, it belongs to her.
This is all she will need to raise puppies when she leaves Beijing, the more the merrier.
After Lu Xinlan left, Mrs. Pei thought about it for a long time and finally did not call Mrs. Zhao.
The daughter-in-law is getting more and more paranoid as she gets older. If she finds out what happened to Fang Suxin, who knows what will happen.
Whether it was the Zhou Mansion or Lu Xinlan's marriage, it would be safer for her to handle these matters personally.
Lu Jinchuan had used those letters to set up a trap in the past few days, and he had succeeded in getting Zhou Bingshan to take the bait.
It doesn't matter if he is Lu Kangde's immediate boss. If you don't want to cause a scandal, just give up the position of Dr. Tobe.
Feeling proud, he waited for Zhou Hanwen, the old man, to make his decision. When he returned to the mansion, he heard Pei talking about everything that had happened in the teahouse and Zhou's mansion in the past few days.
The footcloth he held in his hand fell directly into the basin, "Is everything you said true?"
"It should be true. Xin Lan heard it from Xin Ran. This matter cannot be hidden. There were several ladies present at the time. Later, they went to the Zhou Mansion together, and the Zhou Mansion didn't know. How many people listened?"
Mrs. Pei couldn't help but shake her head slightly when she thought of Lu Xinran's inner voice that Fang Suxin was acting so absurdly.
She shouldn't be able to escape this time.
Lu Jinchuan didn't bother to take out the footcloth, put on his boots casually and asked someone to call Lu Kangde to his study.
He left in such a hurry that Pei didn't even have time to tell him about Lu Xinlan's marriage.
Lu Kangde had no idea that his daughter recognized from outside would bring him such a big surprise.
His face was filled with joy and he couldn't hold it back.
If the scandal breaks out, not only Zhou Bingshan's position as a household minister, but also Zhang Youchang's position as a minister will be difficult to retain.
When the time comes, he only seeks the position of a fifth-grade doctor, and he won't be able to get it!
Seeing his unabashed expression, Lu Jinchuan sighed softly.
"As my father is still a minister, the official careers of you brothers will definitely be affected. They will either be sent abroad or stay in the capital and can only serve as minor officials below the fourth rank.
"Your third brother has left Beijing and gone to Yuzhou to be the magistrate. Your second brother likes to be a scholar. He will probably join the Imperial Academy in the future and take over the position of offering wine to his father-in-law.
"Among you brothers, you are the only one who wants to move up. This opportunity is not great, but it is also the best opportunity you have had in these years.
"When my father wants to take up his official position, he will work hard to push you to the position of Minister of Household Affairs. As for whether you can reach the rank of Minister in the end and become the first assistant in the cabinet, it depends on your own ability."
Lu Kangde was overjoyed and kept nodding.
"Father, don't worry, your son will definitely let the glory of the Lu family continue in his hands."
