The beginning of the counterattack! The time-traveling boss is famous in Beijing

Mrs. Lu's words left Mr. Lu, who had been listening, confused. How did they end up talking about that princess from the common people again?

According to his wife, his son also has some connections with that popular princess from the folk society?

Unlike Father Lu and Mrs. Lu, he actually admired the commoner princess who was frequently mentioned.

Although she was born into a peasant family and had business skills, she was also the one who discovered the new grain.

If he wasn't quite smart, why didn't the credit go to someone else?

Father Lu's gaze wandered between Mrs. Lu, who was looking furious, and the person kneeling on the ground.

He wanted to say something, but was afraid that his wife would criticize him to pieces.

"Mother..." Lu Jingchen looked embarrassed and growled at Madam Lu, trying to stop her from speaking any further.

"What? Did I say something wrong? I promised you before that if you really like me, I can marry you later, but things are different now..."

"Madam, what are you talking about? You want Chen'er to take Princess Ning'an as a concubine? Are you confused? Princess Ning'an is so noble now? The news has spread throughout the court that she is deeply loved by the princess. There are so many people from the noble families in the capital who want to marry her, and you actually want her to enter the Lu Mansion as a concubine? Madam, you are so bold."

Father Lu frowned, looking as if he was telling the truth.

Mrs. Lu's face turned from red to blue, and from blue to white, with a colorful complexion.

She was so angry with her son that she lost her mind and only thought about whether Qin Ruo, who was born in a humble family, could enter the Lu Mansion again after being conferred the title of Princess.

Father Lu's words woke her up. No matter how poor Qin Ruo's background was, she still had the support of the eldest princess.

To take a princess who is in the limelight as a concubine, this idea of ​​mine is indeed too far-fetched.

When Princess Ning'an comes to the capital, she will become the object of competition among various families because of the power behind the eldest princess.

Why should the Lu family worry about it?

Mrs. Lu glared at Mr. Lu fiercely. Mr. Lu touched his nose awkwardly and became a background board again.

"Mother, father is right. The princess and I are worlds apart. I know that our statuses are different, so I dare not have any improper thoughts. There is no private relationship between me and the princess, and it has always been my wishful thinking. I hope mother will not mention the idea of ​​taking the princess as a concubine again in the future, so as to avoid causing trouble."

Lu Jingchen suddenly calmed down. His father's unintentional words more than just enlightened Mrs. Lu.

It also woke him up.

He recalled the day he left, when Ninth Prince Si Heng acted as if he was asserting his sovereignty, and he couldn't help but laugh at himself.

"Get up. Live a good life with Wan Ning in the future. Don't let Wan Ning down. Think more about the Lu family in everything." Mrs. Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her tone softened a lot.

Lu Jingchen stood up, bowed slightly and said, "I understand, mother, don't worry."

Just as Lu Jingchen was about to leave, the sound of cups falling to the ground was heard outside Mrs. Lu's room.

"Who? Who's outside?" Mrs. Lu's face suddenly changed and she walked out quickly. Lu Jingchen's heart moved and he followed Mrs. Lu to the door.

When he opened the door, he was surprised to see that the people outside were Lin Wanning and Lu Zhu.

There was a puddle of spilled soup on the ground, and Lin Wanning was squatting on the ground picking up broken porcelain pieces.

"Wan Ning, be careful of your hands." Mrs. Lu's throat tightened, and she hurried forward to pull Lin Wan Ning up from the ground.

She didn't know how much Lin Wanning had heard, and she secretly cursed herself for being careless.

After she called Lu Jingchen over tonight, she deliberately sent away all the servants in the yard, but she didn't expect that Lin Wanning would come over at this time.

After Lin Wanning entered the mansion, she specifically told the servants that there was no need to inform the young lady when she came to Chunhua Courtyard.

The servants all saw how much Madam Lu valued Lin Wanning, so they naturally did not dare to neglect her.

As a result, Lin Wanning had a smooth journey into Chunhua Courtyard.

Mrs. Lu carefully observed Lin Wanning's expression, and when she saw that her expression was not strange, she relaxed a little.

"Wan Ning, what brings you here so late?"

Lin Wanning looked calm, without a trace of fluctuation in her eyes. She smiled and said to Madam Lu, "I recently learned how to make lotus seed and lily soup from the small kitchen. I happened to make too much today, and I heard from the servants that the lights in Chunhua Courtyard were still on. I thought you and father-in-law must have not gone to bed yet, so I thought of serving some over so that you two could have a taste."

"It's a pity that my hand slipped and it fell over. I can't eat the lotus seed soup anymore."

There was a look of regret on Lin Wanning's face.

After talking to Mrs. Lu, he seemed to see Lu Jingchen standing next to him.

She just bowed slightly towards Lu Jingchen and did not take the initiative to speak to him.

"Wan Ning is thoughtful. Just ask the cook to make whatever you like. Be careful not to hurt your hands."

After Mrs. Lu finished speaking, she took Lin Wanning's hand and looked at it carefully. Only then did she notice a red mark on Lin Wanning's wrist.

"Oh, kid, are you burned? Chen'er, why don't you go get some ointment to apply to Wan Ning." Mrs. Lu turned around and instructed Lu Jingchen.

Lu Jingchen responded and was about to turn around to get the ointment, but Lin Wanning stopped Mrs. Lu.

"Mother, Wan Ning is clumsy and made you worried. When I came here, Lu Zhu had already applied medicine. It's nothing serious. It's just an accidental burn."

Lu Zhu stood by and nodded expressionlessly.

Lin Wanning calmly withdrew her hand, the smile on her face as dignified and appropriate as ever.

Little did she know that she had heard everything she should have heard.

I heard everything I shouldn't have heard.

After returning to Xuezhuyuan tonight, Lin Wanning felt uneasy. She suddenly missed the carefree days in Earl Zhongyuan's Mansion.

So, taking the opportunity of delivering the soup, he wanted to come over in person to tell Mrs. Lu that he was going back to her parents' home to stay for a few days tomorrow.

She hasn't been back to her parents' home since she returned to her parents' home.

Although the Earl of Zhongyuan's Mansion was not far from the Lu family, they used to be concerned about the Lu family's reputation, fearing that a new bride would often return to her parents' home and cause criticism.

Unexpectedly, when I came to Chunhuayuan, I unexpectedly heard the dispute between Lu Jingchen and Princess Ning'an.

In the past two months, Lin Wanning has been constantly in self-doubt, always thinking that she has not done something well enough to win Lu Jingchen's heart.

Just now, when she heard Lu Jingchen say those words about his one-sided love for Princess Ning'an with her own ears, the string that had been tense in her mind finally broke.

It was not until this moment that she understood why Lu Jingchen had always been so cold to her.

"Mother, this soup can't be drunk. Wan Ning won't bother you anymore. I haven't seen my mother for a long time. I want to go back tomorrow. I hope you will give me permission." Lin Wan Ning straightened her back, but there was no tone of negotiation in her tone.
