Perhaps because of being poisoned, Ji Sangwan's appetite has not been very good since he moved here.
Shen Wan asked Ji Sangwan's people in private and was a little worried about Ji Sangwan's situation.
Shen Wan suppressed the smile between his brows and whispered: "How about I give this cook to you tomorrow? It's rare that you are so happy even after eating a snack."
Maybe it was an illusion, Ji Sangwan felt really happy with Shen Wan.
At least there is no need to be bound by anything...
However, this pleasant scene did not last long before Yun Fang came to the backyard. He hesitated and spoke in a low voice: "Master, there are guests at Miss Ji's side!"
Ji Sangwan just woke up from a dream.
"who?"
"They are from the Lu family in the capital. The people around Mrs. Lu's wife are still waiting at the door!"
Ji Sangwan stood up and saluted Shen Wan.
"Thank you to Brother Shen for being the cook. I won't be polite. Liang Han and Ji Yunrou want Brother Shen to pay more attention to them. I'll go back and deal with the Lu family first.
After all, I want to break off the engagement and there are a lot of troubles? "
"You want to break off the engagement?"
Shen Wan stood up from the wicker chair and walked to Ji Sangwan's side.
Ji Sangwan nodded slightly, but Shen Wan had a relaxed expression on his face: "Why, you want to break off the engagement, but they won't allow it?"
Shen Wan's expression was so complicated that Ji Sangwan couldn't understand it for a while.
"The Lu family and the Hou family are family friends, and the matter between me and Lu Beichen was decided by the elders of the two families. If I want to break off the engagement, I must find a good way without losing my reputation!"
"Then the young master of the Lu family is colluding with your concubine, how can he have the nerve to ruin your reputation?
If you really want to break off the engagement, I will personally come to your door..."
Ji Sangwan took hold of Shen Wan's arm.
"Brother Shen, I'm not that weak.
I chose Lu Beichen because I was young and ignorant. I must end this fate myself.
Besides, the Emperor established the Supervision Department to supervise all officials. If he interfered with my marriage, it would really be unreasonable! "
After that, Ji Sangwan walked out.
Shen Wan stared at her back, lost in thought for a long time.
…
The one who came yesterday was the most proud nanny around Lu Beichen's mother. She handed over a message saying that Lu Beichen's mother would come in person today.
Mrs. Lu was an elder, so Ji Sangwan accepted the offer because she was not in favor of her elders.
Some good show is about to begin.
Early this morning, Ji Sangwan called Ji Yunrou over to deliver supplements. Ji Yunrou took those expensive supplements and became more and more beautiful these days, so she was naturally happy to come over.
Ji Sangwan asked Ji Yunrou to wait in the garden.
It wasn't until Mrs. Lu came to the door that Chuntao mentioned this matter seemingly accidentally.
At this time, Ji Yunrou was still eating snacks in the garden. When she heard Chuntao's words, she had some thoughts.
Ji Sangwan invited Mrs. Lu to the main hall, still looking like a weak Liu Fufeng.
Chuntao carefully helped Ji Sangwan sit down, and Ji Sangwan just nodded.
"Mrs. Lu, Sang Wan is not feeling well today, so I won't send you my regards!"
Mrs. Lu had a purpose today, so her tone was very calm.
"Sang Wan, I also heard that you are in poor health and have been recuperating in another hospital. I asked Beichen to come and see you in person two days ago. Who knew that Beichen was a stupid talker and couldn't speak, so he offended you!"
Ji Sangwan looked coldly and whispered.
"Young Master Lu is not trying to offend, he is just telling the truth!"
Ji Sangwan was so unceremonious that Mrs. Lu turned pale and her eyes were already shining with dissatisfaction.
But Ji Sangwan seemed quite indifferent.
"Sang Wan, we will all be a family in the future. You see that you are not young anymore. Once you have recovered your health, you can decide on the marriage.
The two of you spend less time together and more time apart, which is why you have the current gap. When you get married..."
"Mrs. Lu!"
Ji Sangwan coughed twice.
"I don't know if Mrs. Lu can make the decision on this matter. I remember that Young Master Lu made bold words to me the day before yesterday, saying that he would definitely break off the engagement with me."
"impossible!"
Mrs. Lu patted the table and felt that Ji Sangwan was a little reluctant.
"With me making the decision for you, your marriage will definitely go smoothly!"
Ji Sangwan's voice was calm and she said calmly: "Sangwan doesn't need my wife to make the decision, because I don't want the kind of person who is entangled with my concubine now!"
When Ji Sangwan said a word, Mrs. Lu's face showed embarrassment.
Just as she was about to have a seizure, a weak little beauty walked in.
"Sister, Mrs. Lu is also kindly visiting you, why do you have to speak so harshly.
My sister will get married in the future, and Mrs. Lu is your mother-in-law. How can you be so rude.
I have explained the matter between me and Brother Beichen to you many times, but you still want to make a fuss out of it. Do you really want to force me to death? "
Mrs. Lu had only heard of the concubine of the Hou family.
Lu Beichen was also punished for his fight at the Queen's banquet.
Ji Yunrou didn't do well in the Lu family, but she didn't expect that now that she acted in such a drama, she would play into Mrs. Lu's hands.
Mrs. Lu just wants a daughter-in-law who is easy to handle, because the old lady of the Lu family is a difficult character.
Now Ji Sangwan is so eloquent that he seems to be difficult to control. Mrs. Lu used to make insinuations, and with Lu Beichen's reminder, Ji Sangwan should be gentle and sensible now, but now she seems not as sensible as this concubine.
Mrs. Lu's attitude towards Ji Yunrou has softened a lot.
Ji Yunrou knelt directly next to Mrs. Lu: "My little girl, Ji Yunrou, has met Mrs. Lu. Just now, my little girl was abrupt. It was because my sister was aggressive in the Hou Mansion. Now it is the same in front of the Lu family. My little girl really can't stand it. I’m going down, even if I’m being beaten by my eldest sister, I still want to say something fair!”
"Good boy, get up quickly. If your sister-in-law was half as sensible as you, there would be no need for me to come here in person today."
With Ji Yunrou's support, Mrs. Lu suddenly became harsh in her tone, saying overtly and covertly that Ji Sangwan was ignorant.
"Sang Wan, my future mother-in-law has given you enough face today. I didn't expect you to be so arrogant and domineering in the Hou Mansion.
If you insist on doing this, we must seriously consider your marriage to my Yao'er! "
When Ji Yunrou heard about this, she quickly added fuel to the fire.
"Mrs. Lu, don't be impulsive. My eldest sister still likes Brother Beichen very much, so she gets jealous over trivial things!"
Her voice had a unique affectation, but it just made Ji Sangwan look ignorant.
Ji Sangwan is not afraid, Ji Sangwan wants to feel this way.
When the Lu family stopped pestering her, she would definitely pull off Ji Yunrou's face.
"As the saying goes, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Now even Mrs. Lu doesn't care about right or wrong. So Sang Wan has nothing to say!"
After she finished speaking, she called Chuntao to see her off.
Before Mrs. Lu left, she almost cursed at Ji Sangwan's door.
As soon as Mrs. Lu left, Ji Yunrou became proud: "Sister, the Lu family is a famous family. I don't think that the Lu family will tolerate your temper."
