Chapter 27
Just think, in the face of all the rumors, what can be more effective than a life to shut up people? Oh no, it's not just a life, she should be reluctant to give it up, let's give it half a life, half a life can also achieve the effect.
But Lu Songli was very curious. After Zhao Yutan really did this, wouldn't Mrs. Xie dislike her dirty reputation?
As her thoughts were spinning, Lu Songli figured out the key points, and then called out to Zhao Yutan, but she seemed to be hurt by her and walked back regardless. Dear, are you overacting? Lu Songli was speechless and could only call to Guo Yan behind.
"what?!"
Lu Songli kindly warned her, "When you go back, tell the Zhao family to keep an eye on Zhao Yutan and don't let her kill herself again."
What does it mean to kill someone and kill your heart? This is it!
Zhao Yutan's footsteps paused, and he was filled with hatred.
Guo Yan turned around and glanced at her, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
"Anyway, I've warned you. If she accidentally overplays and dies, I won't take the blame." After saying this, Lu Songli also turned around and walked towards his carriage. It's too late, it's time to go back and eat.
The two turned around and went in opposite directions, symbolizing the different paths they chose. The last ray of sunlight split the place in two between them, and they each moved towards the future of their own choice.
On the Zhao family's carriage, Guo Yan was still very angry when she thought about what Lu Songli said to her last time, "Cousin, what Lu Songli said in the end was all nonsense. Didn't she curse you?"
At this time, Zhao Yutan was in a state of confusion, and Lu Songli's reaction was beyond her expectation. In her mind, when she saw herself asking for peace in a low voice, shouldn't Lu Songli be complacent about the villain's success? Why is she so calm and so smart and perceptive? She was obviously very stupid before. And, what is she going to do next? According to the original plan, Lu Songli's words just now were like a slap on her face, and she laughed at her for her poor skills.
"She is really heartless and unjust. Cousin, you lowered your attitude to reconcile with her, but she still..."
Zhao Yutan was in a gloomy mood, but Guo Yan was still criticizing Lu Songli. Her voice made Zhao Yutan very upset. He thought she was too noisy, "Okay, cousin, stop talking now, I'm dizzy."
Lu Songli had no idea that her last dance as a prophet would make Zhao Yutan so embarrassed.
At this time, twilight had completely enveloped the earth, and the carriage Lu Songli was riding in was at home.
Not arriving home so late, her father and mother were extremely worried, fearing that something might happen on the road. Lu Desheng was about to send someone to meet her in the direction of Baodingfang, but he was relieved when he saw her coming back.
Seeing Brother Xu, Lu Desheng hurriedly greeted him, "My dear nephew, thank you for escorting my little girl back."
Brother Xu nodded and wanted to go back after saying hello to them.
"My nephew, the city gates are probably closed now. You can stay and rest for one night, and then go back tomorrow." At this time, Chang'an City has implemented a curfew, and the city gates have been closed. It is difficult for Brother Xu to leave the city. Yes, Mr. Jiang left a message.
Lu Songli also said, "Yes, Second Brother Xu, my in-laws know that you sent me back. Even if you don't go back tonight, they can guess that you stayed overnight and won't be too worried." If it hadn't been for you. If Zhao Yutan was delayed, it wouldn't be too late for him to leave the city.
Brother Xu took a look at the sky, made another assessment, and finally said, "Sorry for bothering you."
"Mom, dad, do you have food? I'm so hungry."
"Yes, why are you so late? Your father almost took someone out to pick you up." Ms. Jiang asked while asking someone to set the meal.
Then they learned that their daughter had delayed her return because she had saved her grandson, and was stopped by Zhao Yutan on the way, so she didn't arrive home until late at night.
Speaking of Lu Songli's rescue, Brother Xu solemnly thanked them again.
"Second Brother Xu, when I was at the Xu family, my in-laws and their wives had already thanked me. We are all relatives. I would save my life when I met one. You don't have to be so open-minded. Besides, you protected me all the way back just now. I Do I have to say thank you again and again?" After saying that, Lu Songli asked Brother Xu to eat quickly.
Lu's father and Lu's mother followed him and said modestly, "Yes, she is just at the right time."
As parents, Lu Desheng and Jiang felt very honored that their daughter had become capable and saved people. But it would be inappropriate to keep talking about the kindness. So they quickly changed the subject.
"What did Zhao Yutan want to do by stopping you?" Lu Desheng did not forget that his daughter came home late because she stopped her halfway.
Lu Songli was eating. She was really hungry and had no time to reply. But she was the one with a mouth, and Mo Bing answered her parents' questions for her.
After listening to Mo Bing's narration, Lu Desheng only uttered four words, "I don't know." It seemed that the Zhao family was beaten too lightly.
Thinking about how accurately Zhao Yutan blocked her in the middle of the road, the couple frowned. It seemed necessary to investigate the servants in the mansion.
Not wanting to disturb the family of three, Brother Xu finished his dinner quickly. Mrs. Jiang arranged for him to stay in the guest room, and then led his servants to collect the Xu family's return gifts.
After Lu Songli finished eating, she touched her round belly with satisfaction and said to her father beside her, "Dad, the Zhao family is probably going to do something big in the past two days, so our people can withdraw."
Not long ago, she and Zhao Yutan fell into the water at the same time. The Zhao family manipulated public opinion and arranged for people to pour dirty water on them, slander themselves, and try to change their marriage. Her father also arranged for someone to fish in troubled waters and pour all the dirty water on Zhao Yutan. After doing this, Zhao Yutan's reputation was terrible, but her reputation was not bad.
According to her prediction, the Zhao family would be able to send her away by themselves. If they were added to the list, the fire would be too strong. If the Zhao family framed them, wouldn't the Lu family suffer? If she was the person in charge of the Zhao family, she would definitely do this, beat the rabbits with straw, and even make the Lu family's mouth full of evil. Besides, it's not easy for her father to raise such a navy army. He probably spends a lot of money. Now, it's better to save whatever he can.
Upon hearing her words, her father gave her a confused look.
Lu Songli shared her guess with her father.
After listening to this, Lu Desheng didn't know what to say, but he confirmed her analysis because he also noticed that the recent rumors about Zhao Yutan had become more and more intense, much more violent than before. The dirty water was poured on Zhao Yutan one after another, making her worse than a prostitute in Goulan Courtyard. Lu Desheng even found it strange that the Zhao family was quite cruel to his own daughter. It was rare in the world to go to such lengths to taint him.
Ms. Jiang on the side was listening to the conversation between father and daughter and remembered something, "By the way, the Xie family left us a post today, inviting us, the four families of Lu, Qin, Zhao and Xie to discuss how to solve the problems of several families after the drowning incident. Regarding the change of marriage, the venue will be arranged at Xie’s house.”
Lu Songli said, "Push it."
What else are we talking about? The Zhao family is obviously going to make a big move. Who cares about the Xie family's invitation to make a fuss. Besides, this invitation letter is just a fig leaf. The Zhao family and the Qin family have long had nothing to do with each other. The Zhao family seems to be relying on the Xie family. In fact, what needs to be resolved is just the marriage contract between the Lu family and the Xie family.
However, this can also reveal a problem, that is, the actions of the Xie family and the Zhao family are inconsistent. After checking that the person who posted the post was Xie Zhan, Lu Songli smiled playfully, this was fun.
