Not far away, Zhang Shui'er, who came to watch the ceremony, saw this scene and was so happy that she almost couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

She knew that her aunt would definitely intend to ruin the ceremony, so she asked Mrs. Qiu to remind Madam Gu in a tactful way early in the morning.

As expected, the old lady listened to the advice and specially sent two powerful maids to guard An today.

But it’s still a bit of a pity.

The Lu family is a family of civil officials, and has always been clearly separated from the family of military generals and had little intersection.

But if Lu Xinran were here, she would know whether her good aunt was really fainting or just pretending to be faint.

Before the ceremony, An was carried directly to the backyard room by the servants of the Gu family.

For fear of being accused of being rude, the third wife of the Gu family came to the side room to watch over her.

An was supported by someone and drank a whole bowl of medicine with coptis root added in it. She felt so miserable that she couldn't say anything.

On the second day after Gu Zixian returned to his ancestral home, Zhang Shuier ran excitedly to the Lu residence to share the "interesting things" of the previous day with Lu Xinran and the others.

"Aunt, you lost more than you gained this time. I heard that there was a lot of coptis root in that bowl of medicine. It smells terrible."

If Mrs. An really fainted, she would definitely spit out the medicine after waking up and then push the bowl away.

But he actually drank the whole bowl, which showed that he was guilty no matter how you looked at it.

Lu Xinran laughed so hard that he fell backwards. It was okay to add Coptis chinensis. How much did the Gu family hate Qiu Zhenye and An!

But these two people are indeed hateful. Gu Zixuan is not without family, so it would be fine if they took him back to Anshi for "treatment" in a moment of desperation.

The secret has been concealed for twenty years, causing the Gu family to worry and be heartbroken for so many years. Now An still looks so miserable, as if they have suffered so much injustice and their son has been taken away by someone else. Even if she is a member of the Gu family, she will feel very disgusted.

What's the difference between this and being hit by a pile of shit?

Zhang Shui'er heard her compare An to a dirty thing in her heart, and she laughed so hard that her body trembled.

"Does your cousin know about this? What's his reaction?"

Lu Xinlan waited until the two of them finished laughing before asking again. Zhang Shuier thought about it.

"My cousin... probably doesn't know about this. My aunt didn't bother to mention it, so the Gu family naturally won't mention it either."

"really do not know?"

Lu Xinlan smiled meaningfully, and Zhang Shuier's smile faded a little before she smiled brightly again.

"Who knows? It's not important."

As long as he 'doesn't know' about this, there's no need to be caught in the middle.

"Look at it this way, your aunt is not without merit. She didn't mention this matter to your cousin because she didn't want to embarrass him."

So it is true that she has the careful intention to raise the An family, and it is also true that she loves her son deeply.

Zhang Shui'er nodded, and suddenly felt that it was a bit boring to talk about this matter again.

"Forget it, let's not talk about them. I heard from my grandfather that Prince Yu is back. He went straight to the palace after arriving in Beijing yesterday evening and didn't come out all night."

"Prince Yu is back?"

Lu Xinran pulled the person out from the corner of his memory.

If she remembered correctly, they went to Jiangnan to solve the flood problem that day, right?

It's already winter and he just came back... He can't rely on freezing water to solve the problem?!

Thinking of how he had previously mocked her and Lu Xinlan for being impolite, she immediately started to write down her grudge.

It’s best that Song Junhe didn’t do anything shameful during this trip to Jiangnan!

Otherwise she would definitely dig it all out and then find a way to spread it so that everyone would know!

Zhang Shui'er chuckled, suddenly put her arms around their necks and asked them to come closer to her.

She lowered her voice and laughed obscenely, "I heard that he brought back some beauties."

What she didn't say was that he brought half of these beauties with him when he entered the palace.

Although she didn't say it, Lu Xinran had already seen it from the booklet after being reminded by the system.

My son presents me with a beautiful woman!

Is it that Song Junhe is too brave, or does he know his father too well?

As if she could sense her eagerness to watch the fun, Zhang Shuier's smile became even more obscene.

"The birthday of the wife of the Minister of War will be in a few days. Has your family received the invitation?"

Lu Xinran looked at Lu Xinlan instantly, and saw Lu Xinlan nodded slightly.

"Received, but Concubine Shu is in trouble. The Kong family is her family, so Madam Kong's birthday will not be celebrated as lavishly as in previous years. The person who came tactfully suggested that the various mansions should not bring young people."

When she said this, her eyes fell directly on Lu Xinran. Why wasn't he allowed to bring the younger generation with him...she was the reason.

Zhang Shuier snorted, "Shufei has been dominating the harem for so many years, isn't that what she deserves? What euphemism? If we don't understand it, then it's over."

After spending a long time with Lu Xinran, her speech and behavior began to become Xinran's.

The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month is the birthday of Confucius’ wife, Mrs. Cai.

The Lu sisters arrived at the Pei courtyard early in the morning, and the whole family got on a carriage and rushed to the Minister of War's residence.

It had been a long time since Lu Jinchuan had ridden in the same carriage with his old wife. He talked for a long time without getting any response from Pei.

"Mingyue, it's been so long since the incident happened, can't you just..."

"cannot!"

Pei glanced at him coldly, as if she saw something dirty.

"Lu Jinchuan, there is no turning back in life. If you do something wrong, don't even think about turning back. I don't want you to turn back either."

If it weren't for the children, she wouldn't even be willing to show superficial harmony today.

Lu Jinchuan looked at her in a daze, and he didn't say anything until the carriage stopped in front of the Confucius Mansion.

But in front of outsiders, he got out of the car first, then turned back and helped Pei down.

In the Kong Mansion, when Mrs. Kong Cai heard that the entire Lu family had come, especially the young man who could pry into people's privacy, she suddenly had a headache.

She didn't want her family to become a joke, and she didn't want anyone else to get into trouble in their house and be blamed.

Hadn’t we already told Pei not to bring the younger generation? Why did they still bring them here?

She looked at the group of people coming in with a headache, but she suppressed her annoyance and smiled as she invited Pei to come over and sit down.

"It's worth it for you to come here in person to celebrate my birthday today."

"Look at what you said. At our age, we still want to see our old sisters whenever we have the chance."

Pei smiled and sat over, trying to cover up the fact that she was actually there to watch the fun with a high-sounding excuse.
