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

Lu Kangde, who didn't know how he had offended his father, felt a slap in the face. He touched his nose awkwardly, and when his eyes glanced at Lu Kangping, a sense of crisis suddenly surged in his heart.

He has always been wary of his younger brother because he knows that his father's connections are only enough to help one person get promoted.

He had always been certain that this network would be left to him, but ever since Lu Kangping re-entered the officialdom and repeatedly received praise from Shangfeng, he developed a sense of urgency.

He was afraid that his younger brother would be too outstanding and take away the resources and connections that should belong to him.

He was afraid in his heart, and since there happened to be three people present at the same time, he couldn't help but test them with his words.

"Is your job at the Ministry of Revenue going well, my second brother? If anyone makes things difficult for you, you can come to me or my father. Don't let yourself be wronged."

Lu Kangping smiled and nodded, "Yes, thank you for your concern, I'll take note of it."

Based on his understanding of these two people, if he really encounters trouble, all he can do is to find a way to solve it himself.

His good father always expected ten times the return for every point he gave, and he couldn't afford such a high price.

As his elder brother always cared about himself, he knew what his elder brother was trying to test.

There was a flash of impatience in Lu Jinchuan's eyes, and he glared at Lu Kangde again.

"Your second brother has been in the Ministry of Revenue for several months. Why didn't you think of taking better care of him before?"

Lu Kangde avoided his gaze awkwardly and swallowed back the words he wanted to ask.

At dusk, a servant came to invite Pei and her friends to sit in the hall in the front yard.

Pei was supported by her granddaughters. As soon as she went out, she saw the father and his two sons standing outside the yard.

Her smiling gaze only fell on Lu Kangping, and she immediately looked away after just one glance, which made Lu Kangde feel very uncomfortable.

He still doesn't feel that he has done anything wrong. His mother is already old enough with many children and grandchildren. If she were to divorce at this age, wouldn't that just throw the entire family's reputation into the ground?

Moreover, we have survived all these years, why can't we continue like this?

If she doesn't think about herself, doesn't she think about him and her second brother?

How can he get promoted in the future if he has a mother with a bad reputation and is getting divorced?

Thinking of this, Lu Kangde's eyes were full of accusations, which made Lu Xinran, who had just seen the booklet, harden.

People like this should be thrown into a basin and drowned as soon as they are born!

Lest he become a selfish evil.

Lu Xinlan hung her head and pinched her palms hard to stop herself from laughing.

Lu Kangde was so angry that he was puffing his beard and glaring, but Lu Xinran never looked at him from beginning to end, so he could only sulk aside.

Lu Jinchuan stepped forward and tried to support his old wife's hand, but Pei avoided him with disgust.

"Let's go, the New Year's Eve dinner is ready, and we have to stay up all night after eating."

When they stay up to see the New Year in, the men go to the front yard and the women go to the back yard. It doesn't feel awkward if they are not in the same place.

The New Year's Eve dinner was quiet. The sisters who usually liked to chat and laugh with Pei were silently waiting for the maids to serve the dishes.

The noisy voices before became quiet now, and all people could hear was "delicious" and "delicious"~

Lu Jinchuan originally wanted to spend New Year's Eve to get closer to his wife, but as soon as the New Year's Eve dinner was over, Pei left him in the hall and took her granddaughters directly back to the backyard.

Being ignored and treated coldly again and again, even the one with the best temper would get angry, not to mention that he has always had a bad temper.

He was about to chase after him with a gloomy face when Lu Kangde, who had come close to him, stopped him and said, "Father, let's go to the front yard to stay up all night. It's always good to have good luck in the new year."

These words were too suggestive, which made Lu Jinchuan feel even worse.

It is unlucky to be blocked by these words and lose temper and argue.

No matter how dissatisfied he was, he could only flick his sleeves and lead his people back to the front yard.

In Zhaoyun Courtyard, Lu Xinran rubbed his hands and prayed that he could draw good cards.

She just didn't believe that she could rely on the system to cheat and keep losing!

The few people who heard her thoughts all pursed their lips and smiled secretly. If she could cheat, then they could too.

In this mahjong game, everyone uses their cards openly, and it's all about luck rather than skill. How interesting!

At the hour of Yin, Lu Xinran looked at the empty box he had lost, and the dark circles under his eyes became particularly tragic.

"Tongzi, I can see their cards, why did I still lose so badly?"

System: "Maybe, maybe, it's just, uh, you just have bad luck?"

Lu Xinran: “…”

If you don’t know how to speak, you don’t have to say anything!

They dragged their heavy steps and quickly went back to wash and change clothes. The whole family got on the carriage in front of the courtyard gate and headed straight for the palace.

After waiting for a whole night, Lu Jinchuan finally found an opportunity to be alone with Pei. He sat upright in the middle of the carriage, looked at Pei who was helped into the carriage by the servants, and raised his eyelids to point to the side.

"Come sit down and let's talk."

Pei rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't put on airs. If you like people to flatter you, then divorce me as soon as possible and marry someone who is obedient."

Lu Jinchuan: “…”

Why can’t this old woman let go? Everything has already passed, why can’t she just look forward!

Pei rolled her eyes. A broken mirror cannot be mended. Although it is still dark, it would be better to wake up from the dream as soon as possible.

"I have already discussed Xinran's marriage with Lord Sun. When you go to the Sun Mansion to attend the banquet in a few days, remember to look for her."

"You and Sun Linyuan have already made an appointment? Are you crazy? That's the eldest prince's maternal grandfather's house!"

Pei was shocked and asked angrily, "Don't you care about that girl or your sons' future?"

"What's wrong with the Sun family? They are well-matched, and she is the legitimate daughter of the third branch. I have done my best to marry that girl!"

Lu Jinchuan glared at her, refusing to give in. "Moreover, the eldest prince has been driven to his fiefdom, and he cannot return to the capital without being summoned. To be disrespectful, the throne has nothing to do with him anymore. As his in-laws, the Sun family no longer has the risk of taking sides, so why not marry into the Sun family?"

"Why not? Do you still remember why Concubine Shu died tragically? Why did Prince Su repeatedly incur the wrath of the Emperor and was renamed and sent to his fiefdom? And the young Sun family member who is now imprisoned in the dungeon of Shuntian Prefecture is from the third branch!

"The Sun family must hate her to death now, and they want to eat her flesh and drink her blood, and you actually think this is a good marriage!

"What on earth is your intention in harming that girl like this?"

What's the difference between marrying her into the Sun family and taking her life!

"Sun Linyuan is the Minister of War! What good can he promise you? You want to marry the second girl into the Sun Mansion. Have you ever thought about what His Majesty will think of this?"

Pei was so angry that her body trembled slightly: "I don't want to guess what you are planning. If you really dare to arrange this marriage, I will immediately go to Shuntian Prefecture and beat the drum to ask the prefect to make the decision and help me get a divorce!"
