According to the old concept, Lu Qiming is the legitimate eldest son, and the baby in her belly has no advantage in getting a share of the inheritance no matter how you look at it. She has to find a way to get rid of Lu Qiming.

The family had lunch at the big dining table in the old house. Everyone was having a great time. Li Anan and Gu Shanzhi had a good relationship, so naturally Nan Nan was more enthusiastic towards her. But it seemed that he just couldn't be enthusiastic towards Xu Manman. He felt an inexplicable rejection in his heart.

Everyone seemed to be having a great time. Before going out today, my aunt was warned by my uncle to talk less and eat more, so as not to offend others with her mouth. Nan Nan's family treasures Gu Shanzhi as much as the apple of their eye. If she said something wrong today, who knows what would happen to Nan Nan?

The Nan family is also an existence that cannot be offended. After all, they are a famous and prestigious family in the capital with a history of hundreds of years.

After lunch in the afternoon, Mrs. Lu arranged for Xu Manman to rest in the guest room. Pregnant women need more rest, and Xu Manman did not refuse. She also took this time to take a good look at the Lu family's old house.

Although she and Lu Zheng had been married for several months, she had only been to the old house a few times, and had only been there in the living room on the first floor and the open space outside the door. This was her first time going up to the second floor of the old house.

Mrs. Lu arranged for a servant to accompany Xu Manman upstairs. Xu Manman took the opportunity to inquire about the news: "The old house seems to be very big. Do you know how big it is? When I came here before, I felt that I couldn't see the end at a glance."

The servant knew that Xu Manman was from the Lu family's side branch and was pregnant with a Lu family child, so she naturally answered all her questions: "I don't know exactly how big the old house is, but this is the main building where the masters live. There are five floors in total, and each floor should be about 500 to 600 square meters. Next to it is the small villa where we workers live, and outside is a large garden and a lake."

"Is the lake artificial? Or natural?"

The maid said proudly, "Of course it's natural. This lake is integrated with the lake in the scenic area at the foot of the mountain. The water at the foot of the mountain flows down from here. The old house starts from the middle of the mountain. There are basketball courts, football fields, and various sports equipment on the mountainside. I haven't been there either. I just heard it from the housekeeper. We are not qualified to go there."

Listening to the maid's introduction, Xu Manman hated her even more. If Lu Xun had married her, all of this would be hers now.

The maid took her to the guest room and left.

Xu Manman went into the room alone and looked out of the window. She saw a large lawn and a path lined with plum trees and full of plum blossoms. It was winter and the plum blossoms were in full bloom. The vast expanse of white with the embellishment of plum blossoms really gave people a fairyland feeling.

Just as she was about to close the door, she heard Lu Xun's voice: "Xiao Zhi, I was wrong. How about this, you take a nap first, and I'll admit my mistake in the afternoon, okay? You got up too early in the morning, and you'll be sleepy at night if you don't take a nap."

Gu Shanzhi has always had the habit of taking a nap. Today, she got up early in anger and was really sleepy now. She could only give Lu Xun a way out: "Okay, then I'll take a nap first and I won't bother with you."

Lu Xun said in a flattering manner: "Thank you for your generosity, my wife. My Xiao Zhi is truly the best wife in the world."

It turned out that the guest room arranged for Xu Manman was on the same floor as Lu Xun and his room. In order to prevent Xu Manman from walking up the stairs to the guest room on the third floor with a big belly, Mrs. Lu specially arranged her to stay on the second floor. Unexpectedly, Xu Manman saw this scene.

The veins on her hand that were gripping the door handle were bulging. It was obvious that Lu Xun was the one who loved more deeply in this relationship: "Why would a little girl like Gu Shanzhi let Lu Xun obey her in everything?"

Soon, the sound of a door closing was heard, and there was no more sound outside the corridor. Xu Manman closed the door gently. She had to think of a plan. It would be best if she could get rid of Gu Shanzhi and Lu Qiming at the same time. No one who got in her way should be left alive.

But this is a big matter after all, so we still need to consider it carefully.

In the afternoon, the makeup artists arrived one after another. After Gu Shanzhi changed her clothes, she went downstairs to let the makeup artist do her makeup. Lu Xun didn't like others entering their room, so the makeup artist couldn't do her makeup in the room and could only go to the small living room.

The Gu family went for a walk in the park at the foot of the mountain. Grandpa Gu said that it would be warm in the afternoon and they should go for a walk. Everyone was worried about the old man being alone, so they just went for a walk together. Mr. Lu also went with them, leaving only Mrs. Lu and my cousin's family at home.

Lu Fan took his wife and children to the football field at the foot of the mountain to play football. Lu Qiming was always moving around restlessly, so Lu Fan simply let him consume his energy by himself so that the couple would not be consumed at night.

When Gu Shanzhi came out wearing a dress and a shawl, Xu Manman had already woken up and was sitting in the living room. When she saw the bright red mark on Gu Shanzhi's neck, she almost lost control.

Mrs. Lu also saw it and finally understood why her son was disliked by his daughter-in-law all day long. It was all his own fault and he deserved it.

Lu Xun said to the makeup artists, “Well, cover up the marks on your neck. If you can’t, you’ll all be fired.”

Okay, the pressure was put on the makeup artists. They all took a look at the mark on the neck and said, "Wow, I didn't realize that Mr. Lu was so powerful. Look how he has ruined her neck. Such a nice neck, white, straight and long. This big strawberry really ruins the view."

Makeup artists began to try every possible way to conceal Gu Shanzhi's flaws.

But the marks were too deep, and the thick concealer didn't match the surrounding skin, which made the makeup artists so anxious that they were almost sweating in the sub-zero winter.

Gu Shanzhi saw the makeup artists' expressions and asked, "Teacher, is it troublesome?"

The makeup artist told the truth: "It's too dark. If it's completely covered, the contrast with the skin next to it will be obvious. If it's natural, there might be a little red mark."

Lu Xun said unsatisfiedly: "Aren't you professional makeup artists?"

The makeup artists looked at each other in bewilderment. Makeup artists only care about the face, and have never seen such a fierce big strawberry. Gu Shanzhi glared at Lu Xun unhappily: "Shut up, it's all your fault."
