Voice of the heart: Those who are eaten by the real daughter are in bad luck

Lu Xinran also glanced at the two of them, and when he looked away, he happened to meet Lu Xinlan's eyes.

Doubt appeared in the eyes of the two sisters at the same time. When they looked at the two people, it was obvious that they did not have that kind of subconscious and uncontrollable liking.

But the other people's faces were more or less moved.

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Lu Xinran continued to immerse himself in eating melons. [The Wang family has invested almost all of their wealth in these two people, hoping that they can marry into a wealthy family and let the Zhang family rise to prominence.]

Everyone: "..."

It's okay for everyone to prosper, but they are not enlightened masters.

And if you think about it carefully, Wang is obviously treating them as scapegoats!

Since the girl from the Zhang family is so weird, then they should just not meet.

She is not a noble in the palace, so I have to see her and ignore her.

[But…]

The voice that reached everyone's ears suddenly brought out a sly smile, "It would be great if the girl from the Zhang family could enter the palace. It would also be nice to marry one of the princes. Maybe it would even lead to a drama where the father would snatch his son's wife away."

Everyone: "..."

Don't say it!

Don't tell me!

They were quite looking forward to it, but if this scene really happened, they were afraid that they would not live to see it.

There was endless silence in the hall. Everyone held their tea bowls with their heads down, making Wang, who was looking around in confusion, look particularly strange.

Does the lady of the Xu family like her granddaughter?

If so, it would naturally save a lot of trouble.

If not, then she would have to find a way to bribe one or two servants of the Xu Mansion, and then create an encounter between her granddaughter and the young master of the Xu Mansion.

Although Xu Shaohua was only a fourth-rank official, and his official position was neither high nor low, the Xu family was wealthy, so she could barely send a granddaughter to the Xu family.

As for the other one, she secretly wanted her granddaughters to get close to the prince.

With the love poison, anyone who comes into contact with them will be bewitched and will want to take out his heart and hand it to them.

With this help, her granddaughters can at least become the prince's concubines!

The hall was silent. Wang's thoughts at this moment were heard by everyone through Lu Xinran, giving people the illusion that she... still knew what was right and wrong.

She actually knew that the girls in the Zhang family were of low birth and could not become princesses!

When Xu listened to Lu Xinran's retelling of her thoughts, she was so angry that she wanted to curse at him and kick him out of the Xu Mansion immediately.

A poor woman from a small family actually dared to look down on her husband for not holding a high position? !

Her husband has just turned forty this year and is already a fourth-rank official with real power. He still has decades to go before retirement, so his future is limitless!

How dare she, a blind woman with no vision and no knowledge, despise him!

The more Xu thought about it, the angrier she became. She slammed the table, calling everyone's attention back.

The nanny behind her hurriedly tugged at her sleeve. She came back to her senses from her anger and gritted her teeth to force a smile.

"Thank you all for coming to the Xu Mansion today. Please take a seat."

Everyone came back to their senses from their wild thoughts, stood up with a smile, and followed the servants of the Xu Mansion to find their respective seats and sit down.

Wang sat there waiting for the servants to come and lead her and her two grandchildren to sit next to the noble ladies. In the end, they only got to a table in the corner of the hall. Sitting at the table were two ladies of similar family backgrounds as them and their families.

Wang was full of dissatisfaction in her heart, but when she met the strange gaze, she immediately smiled in a very tolerant manner.

Lu Xinran followed Kong and was led to a table next to Xu and others. Also at the table were two girls from the Xu family and Zhang Shuier who came over to talk to them.

Zhang Shui'er is now paying special attention to wherever the Lu sisters appear. Originally, the Xu Mansion did not send an invitation to the Duke's Mansion. After receiving the news, she took the initiative to send someone to the Xu Mansion to ask for an invitation.

It was just that something happened when she went out today and she was delayed in arriving at Xu's house. When she arrived, most of the excitement had already passed and she only managed to catch this one.

She came over, took Lu Xinran and her sister in one hand each, and pulled them both into her arms, then whispered something excitedly in their ears.

"My eldest brother is getting engaged."

engagement?

Lu Xinran was stunned for a moment, then realized what she was talking about.

Although Zhang Kaiji and Tang Wanrou seem to be a good match, the emperor would be wary of the marriage between their two families, right?

However, Tang Quyan seemed to be only interested in solving cases and tracking down murderers while in the Dali Temple, and was not keen on the struggle for power in official circles.

He couldn't cause any trouble by getting together with the Duke's Mansion, which had no military power and no real power in the court.

The emperor’s fear would probably not last for half an hour.

"But did you invite a middleman?"

While Lu Xinran was daydreaming, Lu Xinlan had already asked with a smile.

Zhang Shuier smiled and nodded: "The engagement letter will be exchanged in a few days. My mother wants to set the wedding date before the New Year. It would be best if the wedding date is set before June. If we get married earlier, she can put her mind at ease."

"Well, when your eldest brother gets married, she will start to worry about you. You will be the next one to get married~"

Lu Xinran couldn't stand seeing her being too proud, so he poured a basin of cold water over her head, causing the smile on Zhang Shuier's face to freeze instantly.

She tilted her head and glared at her in dissatisfaction: "Why are you saying such spoiling things for no reason?"

In the past few years, she had always believed that she would marry Song Junyan, and all her thoughts were on him, and she never glanced at other men.

It’s not easy to suddenly find someone new to spend your life with.

"Why are you spoiling the fun? We are not familiar with your eldest brother, so it would be inappropriate to say more or less. But we are familiar with you, so we can help you with some advice."

Lu Xinran rubbed his chin and smiled strangely.

"Actually, your cousin is quite nice, and your aunt treats you well too. If you could marry back to your maternal family, you would be surrounded by people you are close to and familiar with, and wouldn't feel uncomfortable at all. Wouldn't that be perfect for you?"

"No, cousin."

Zhang Shuier almost subconsciously waved her hand to refuse: "Our family affairs, hey, you don't understand."

[What's there to not understand? Isn't it just that your cousin has a childhood sweetheart? ]

[Your aunt would rather marry her own niece than let you marry her back.]

[That's all the reason, how can it be complicated? 】

[In this matter, your aunt's feelings are more important, but your cousin's feelings are more important. Why do I feel that the girl he likes is actually you? ]

Zhang Shuier: “…”

Oh my, why is this guy digging up such a small matter of hers in public!

It was just a casual joke. What if the ladies in the hall misunderstood it and it got out that she was eager to get married?

Especially facing her grandparents, how would she go back in the future?

Zhang Shuier's face turned red with shame almost instantly. She glared at Lu Xinran, and without the courage to stay in the hall, she stomped her feet and ran out.

Lu Xinran was puzzled, "What's wrong with her?"

"Nothing. I'm just afraid that you might think she's eager to get married. I'm sorry."

"I didn't say she wanted to get married. Good men are always in high demand. We need to remind her to hold on to him."
