161. Clown(1/2)

Two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lu Zhe took his wife Jun Lingxin to the Duke of Zhenguo to send festival gifts.

Jun Lingxin's complexion was a little better than before, and she let Lu Zhe hold her hand and walk into the Mu family's door.

Originally, Jun Lingxin had been thinking hard about how to get rid of Lu Zhe, but now there are new changes and she is pregnant with Lu Zhe's child.

Lu Zhe no longer tortures her, and suddenly became much gentler to her, which changed Jun Lingxin's psychology and couldn't help but look forward to the arrival of her child.

The once domineering royal princess has now undergone earth-shaking changes. She hasn't remembered Su Mo, who once made her obsessed with love for a long time. The eyes that occasionally fall on Lu Zhe have become more tender and dependent.

If Yuan Qiu knew the couple's previous perverted relationship pattern, he would definitely conclude that Jun Lingxin suffered from Stockholm syndrome...

When he approached Ronghua Hall, he saw Zou wearing new brightly colored clothes and was talking to Madam Wei, with a smile on his face.

The wooden shelves that originally had jade carvings were now replaced with porcelain. They were of great value, but they lost their once elegant style.

Seeing Lu Zhe bringing Jun Lingxin to him, Zou greeted them with a smile and asked Madam Wei to serve tea.

"Grandmother." Jun Lingxin obediently saluted Zou.

It surprised Zou. The eighth princess, who was rumored to be corrupt, did not look arrogant. Because of Jun Lingxin's respect, Zou changed her mind and felt very comfortable. After all, this is the royal family's golden branch and precious identity, and now she is her grandson-daughter-in-law.

The tribute brought by Lu Zhe was very generous, and there was also a set of ancient jade ornaments, which Jun Lingxin took the initiative to take out from her dowry. Zou couldn't let it go, and he learned that Jun Lingxin was pregnant, so he liked her even more.

During the greetings, Lu Zhe pretended not to know that Yuan Qiu had brought someone back to share the property, and asked Zou with a smile, "My uncle is not at home, and I think both cousins ​​will come back to visit my grandmother tomorrow."

When Zou heard this, his face became dark.

She didn't like Mu Yuanqiu, who was found when she grew up and did not respect her at all, but she still liked her eldest granddaughter Mu Yuanruo very much. But she sent Madam Wei to the Sixth Prince's Mansion to visit Mu Yuanruo, but was bombed away and didn't even enter the door.

Zou even blamed Rong Lan for all this, believing that she instigated her daughter to be disrespectful to her grandmother, and she was very angry.

When Lu Zhe entered the door just now, Zou was so happy because she was looking for a noble daughter of the right age in the capital with Madam Wei, and planned to remarry Mu Zhenxuan as soon as possible.

Originally, he wanted to take a concubine, so he didn't need to consider his identity too much. The important thing was to have a son. It was easy to control his status if he was low. So at first, Zou even drugged Mu Zhenxuan and asked Madam Wei's daughter to give birth to a son for him.

But now it is different. Rong Lan, Mu Zhenxuan and Li, and the position of Duke Zhenguo’s wife was suddenly vacant. In Zou’s opinion, he had to find a noble daughter from a high-ranking clan to be worthy of it.

Although the noble girls who are now aged to marry are probably about the same age as Mu Zhenxuan's daughters, Zou did not think there was anything wrong with this. She felt that as long as the news was released, she would be the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo as soon as she entered the door, and when she gave birth to a son, she would be the Prince of Zhenguo, and some people were rushed over.

Mrs. Zou and Mrs. Wei calculated all the noble daughters of noble families in the capital. Many of the ones mentioned by Mrs. Wei were directly screened out by Mrs. Zou because she had high requirements. First, she had a good family background. If she was below the third rank, she would not consider the concubine daughters. Second, she would have both talent and appearance. If she had mediocre appearance, she would not be able to do it.

Madam Wei felt that Zou wanted to find someone who could replace Rong Lan in Mu Zhenxuan's mental position. She thought it was too difficult. No matter whether it was her appearance, talent and family background, looking at Wan'an City, she really couldn't find someone who could compare with Rong Lan back then.

Zou planned to ask Lu Zhe for his opinion, so he asked Madam Wei to wait for Jun Lingxin to go for a walk in the garden. Jun Lingxin went out obediently.

Zou looked at her back and said with a smile, "You have trained her very well."

Lu Zhe's lips curled slightly, "You can't be ridden by a woman on her head."

"That's the reason!" When Zou heard this, he seemed to find resonance. "If your uncle could be like you and conquer Rong Lan, I wouldn't have to worry so much."

Zou seemed to have forgotten that she was a woman, and being scolded and scolded by her husband when she was young was common. But when she became her mother-in-law, she saw Mu Zhenxuan coaxing Rong Lan, but she didn't like her.

Lu Zhe chuckled and talked about the topic just now, "Have your two cousins ​​come back to see your grandmother?"

Zou snorted coldly, "Everyone who was taught by Rong Lan has no education at all! I don't want to see them either!"

Lu Zhe sighed slightly, "No matter what, my grandmother has nothing to do with her."

This made Zou even more angry. As he spoke, he couldn't help but scold Rong Lan and Yuan Qiu again, saying how rude and arrogant they were, and saying that Mu Yuanruo had disliked her and would never come back.

Lu Zhe comforted Zou for a while, but did not mention that he planned to go to Rong Lan's house to send a festival gift later.

When Zou calmed down, he mentioned marrying Mu Zhenxuan.

"Was my grandmother sent someone to inform my uncle about this?" Lu Zhe asked.

Zou hummed softly, "He is busy at the border, so there is no need to tell him about these things. Just wait until the arrangement is made and let him come back to marry a bride. Being a married woman should be the order of her parents and matchmakers."

Lu Zhe knew Zou's temperament and did not refute it. Although he always felt that Zou's thoughts and words and deeds were stupid, he had long since become concerned about Mu Jiahan, including Zou, who appeared to love him but did not provide any substantial help to him.

Therefore, Lu Zhe is just watching the show now. No matter how rich the Mu family is, it will not be his benefit. Thanks to his good uncle, Jun Lingxin, who should have married Gu Feng, was pushed to Mu Yuancheng, and then turned down by Mu Yuancheng, and then fell on him.

The deep desire for revenge for Mu Yuancheng and Gu Feng made Lu Zhe watch the situation get out of control in a cold manner. Not only did he not dissuade Zou, he kept coming here to fan the flames.

Because, the real highlight has not yet begun.

"I wonder which lady my grandmother fell in love with? My uncle's identity and status cannot be inferior to his background." Lu Zhe looked serious.

"Yes!" Zou nodded repeatedly, thinking that this grandson understood her thoughts very much, so he began to tell Lu Zhe about her plans.

Although Lu Zhe was mentally prepared, when he heard Zou say that he planned to marry Meng Xian, the fourth wife of Prime Minister Meng’s mansion, for Mu Zhenxuan, he was still choked by tea.

Let Mu Zhenxuan give Meng Cheng of the same age and generation to a son-in-law, Zou really dares to think about it...

But Zou seemed to see what Lu Zhe was thinking, but what he said next made Lu Zhe unable to refute.

"The Concubine Meng in the palace is Prime Minister Meng's third daughter. If you really want to count it, the emperor is also Prime Minister Meng's son-in-law. Your uncle married the fourth lady of the Meng family. He is the legitimate sister of Concubine Meng. What's wrong with being a brother-in-law with the emperor?" The more Zou thought about it, the more she felt that this marriage was very suitable. She had met Meng Xian, who was well-educated, gentle and charming, and she had also heard that Meng Xian had outstanding talent.

After considering the famous girls in the capital, Zou family felt that no one else could compare to Meng Xian.

Lu Zhe felt very uncomfortable.

When he wanted to marry Mu Yuanruo, Rong Lan disagreed. Later, he wanted to marry Mu Yuanqiu, but it was fruitless. Zou might have forgotten. Lu Zhe once mentioned that he liked the fourth lady of Prime Minister Meng's mansion, hoping that Zou and Mu Zhenxuan could help and promote this marriage, but Zou did nothing.

Lu Zhe didn't like Meng Xian, but he was originally determined to marry a noble daughter as his wife. The Meng family ignored him, and he had no expectations. However, his good grandmother and good uncle called him around for some reason, but he never considered him in his main business.

But Lu Zhe didn't know, but Zou knew that the old lady from Prime Minister Meng's mansion had fallen in love with Mu Yuancheng, and she wanted to marry the Mu family because Mu Yuancheng was unhappy and finally gave up.

Mu Zhenxuan mentioned this matter to Zou, and Zou even scolded Mu Yuancheng for being ungrateful.

"Zhe'er, what do you think of Miss Meng's fourth wife? I don't think there is anything more suitable than her." Zou asked, looking at Lu Zhe.

Lu Zhe lowered his eyes and shook the gloom in his eyes, but a faint curve appeared on the corner of his lips, "My grandmother's eyes are very good."

Zou was now happy and began to think about whom to invite as a matchmaker to come to propose marriage.

"It's best to ask the emperor to give him a marriage!" Zou's expression moved.

Lu Zhe:... He originally thought that this grandmother was just stupid, but now he found that she was a little crazy...

But soon Zou felt that it was inappropriate. After all, she, an old woman, was not qualified to ask the emperor for anything. Even if she asked for a marriage edict, Mu Zhenxuan had to come forward.

"I can't wait for your uncle to come back this time. If I don't arrange the matter properly and set a correct number, then he may beg Rong Lan again when he comes back." Zou hums softly, "As long as I make a marriage for him, and the other party is a high-ranking clan who can't afford to offend like Prime Minister Meng's mansion, your uncle dares not refuse to obey for Gu Quanzi."

Lu Zhe suddenly realized that Zou was still scheming, but all her scheming was used to plot against her son.

In the past, Mu Zhenxuan was at home, and there were still people in charge of Zou. Now Mu Zhenxuan is far away in the northwest border, Rong Lan has left, and the Zou family is left in the mansion. All the power deprived over the years seems to have returned all of a sudden, which makes her look like she is so proud.

Lu Zhe naturally expressed his agreement with Zou's plan.

After thinking about it, Zou finally decided to visit Mrs. Meng in person to show sincerity. He also planned to take advantage of the opportunity to send a festival gift and make a decision first. After the festival, he would formally send a matchmaker to propose marriage. In short, he should make a decision as soon as possible.

Lu Zhe said that this is the best.

After leaving the Mu family and getting on the carriage, Jun Lingxin laughed at Lu Zhe.

"What's wrong?" Jun Lingxin has become a little bolder recently and dares to speak on her own initiative.

Lu Zhe stroked Jun Lingxin's face with one hand and sneered, "Things are getting more and more interesting." His good uncle is indeed a talent, but unfortunately, there is an old lady at home who is dragging her back.

A few days ago, Zou spread rumors that Rong Lan killed her brother and niece. Lu Zhe speculated that it was probably Mu Zhenxuan's own work. At that time, he went to pick him up in person, but he happened to be missing for a day but didn't get anyone? Lu Zhe didn't believe it.

From this, Lu Zhe once again confirmed that Mu Zhenxuan really loves Rong Lan and is also really cruel. He tried hard to create an upright and kind look in front of Rong Lan, and was cruel and ruthless.

What Lu Zhe was a little puzzled was that with Mu Zhenxuan's personality, the hidden danger of Liu Manshu should be eliminated early. In this way, no one could reveal his father-son relationship with Gu Feng. Otherwise, once this matter was revealed, Mu Zhenxuan would be a dead person in Rong Lan.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhe ordered the car to stop. He called his confidant subordinates, whispered a few instructions, and then the carriage continued to go to the Duke Rong's mansion.

Lu Zhe sent additional personnel to monitor Liu Manshu. Now that things have come to this, he feels that if Mu Zhenxuan still wants to recover Rong Lan, the first one to be removed must be Liu Manshu.

When the carriage arrived outside the gate of Rong Guogong's mansion, Lu Zhe knew that he was not welcomed, so he only gave him a festive gift and did not ask to enter.

The person guarding the gate was Mu Yuancheng's original follower Xingrui. Mu Yuancheng didn't take him to fight, so when Mu Yuancheng had an accident, he was not in Yuzhou City, and this time he followed him to Rong Guogong's Mansion.

Xingrui brought the festive gifts sent by Lu Zhe to Guanlan Courtyard, which were all exquisite pastries, including a box of fuchsia cakes from Yipin Pavilion that Rong Lan liked, which shows Lu Zhe's intentions.

But Rong Lan's expression was faint, and she only said that Xingrui and the others would take it to divide it. She had never liked Lu Zhe and knew that these were superficial skills.

Tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival.

The chrysanthemums planted in Sumo in the Mansion are brilliantly blooming, and they are all rare varieties. They have several different colors, intertwined and colorful.

The pomegranate trees in the fruit forest are full of fruits, and several other types of fruits are also bent on the branches.

Rong Lan took the children to pick a lot, and gave some gifts to the Liu family, Duan family, Meng family, Gu family, and Dr. Jiang from the clinic, each as a gift because there were few people in the family and they couldn't finish it.

Yuan Qiu originally wanted to ask Qingfeng how Su Mo handled so many fruits in previous years, but Qingfeng said that the four of them came this year, and I really don’t know about the past years. And Afu and Mr. Zhou, who knew, were not at home.

There were still many fruits left, and Yuanqiu planned to make some preserved fruits and try to make some fruit wine. When Afu bought fruit wine from Nanfeng City, he also bought a large sum of money for others to make wine.

"When Su Mo comes back like this, although he can't eat fresh fruits, he can still drink fruit wine. After all, he grows it himself." Yuan Qiu said.

Rong Lan picked a big yellow pear and sighed slightly.

She likes to eat pomegranates. In previous years, Mu Yuancheng would always carefully peel the pomegranates and put them in a beautiful glass bowl for her to eat.

Mu Yuancheng likes to eat pears. Rong Lan told him since he was a child that he would eat them all and could not eat them separately, which would have bad meaning.

"Try making some bars with pears, Acheng likes it." Rong Lan said.

"Okay, I hope it will succeed." Yuan Qiu nodded.

In Prime Minister Meng’s mansion, the old lady was ignoring her precious great-grandson. When she heard that the Duke Rong’s mansion had sent a gift, she quickly invited someone to her.
