Mrs. Lu was stabbed by Gu Taohua and Tong Huaqiong, and she became angry.

He is indeed a vulgar businessman, all he talks about is money.

I don’t know what Su Chengmin likes about Gu Taohua.

Mrs. Lu was unwilling to give up trying to persuade Gu Taohua and Tong Huaqiong.

Now Old Mrs. Su still needs her care, and once Su Shihang gets better, she may be sent away again.

Old Madam Su was a person who never fought internal battles and was good at passing the buck. She blamed Lu for not wanting Su Chengmin and Gu Taohua's marriage to be arranged in the Su Mansion, saying that it was because of Lu's scheme for Su Chengmin to marry Lu Yiner that she completely enraged Su Chengmin and made him hate both her and Su Shihang.

Mrs. Lu did not dare to argue and tried to persuade Gu Taohua to make Su Chengmin willing to return to the Su family.

Of course, Mrs. Lu didn't want Su Chengmin to go back, because the Su family belonged to her son Su Chengji.

But now she can only take care of the present. After she has appeased Old Madam Su and Su Shihang, she will become the main wife again. How can there not be a position for Su Chengji?

Lu took a deep breath. If reputation didn't work, he could try tempting the boss with benefits.

"Manager Tong, I heard your youngest son is quite talented in studying. Even my master, the former third place winner, praised him." Mrs. Lu changed the subject to Gu Jingzhe. "The Spring Imperial Examination is about to begin. If nothing goes wrong, your youngest son will definitely pass the exam. Let's be frank. Young people entering officialdom need someone to look after them. The mighty general is from your hometown and will certainly look after your youngest son. However, there is a difference between civil servants and military officers. Your youngest son still needs the support of civil officials. As you know, my master is the Minister of Personnel."

Mrs. Lu’s words were very clear.

As the Minister of Personnel, Su Shihang is not only in charge of the evaluation, promotion, demotion and relegation of officials, but also a role model for scholars from poor families all over the world. Who doesn't want to have a smooth career after passing the imperial examination? Who doesn't want to have someone to support them after entering the officialdom?

There is no one from the Gu family in the court except Lu Chaoyang, and she doesn't believe that Tong Huaqiong will not be tempted by her proposal.

Tong Huaqiong smiled and said, "There's a gap between civil and military? If you looked down on military commanders so much, why did Su Shihang marry Min Baozhen? Wasn't it because the mighty general could be his backer? Do you really think Su Shihang became the Minister of Personnel entirely on his own?"

"My Gu Jingzhe doesn't need to rely on Lord Su, lest he learn to take shortcuts and tarnish his reputation before even starting his official career."

Since the man is frank, Tong Huaqiong directly points out the history of Su Shihang's rise to wealth.

Gu Jingzhe certainly needs someone to support him, but it definitely won't be Su Shihang.

If he really surrendered to Su Shihang, Gu Jingzhe, who had just entered the official career, would only be used as a whetstone and scapegoat by Su Shihang.

Mrs. Lu gritted her teeth.

She didn't expect that Tong Huaqiong and Gu Taohua were so irreconcilable.

Mrs. Lu wanted to say something, but Tong Huaqiong put down her teacup and acted as if to see her off.

"Shopkeeper Tong..."

Tong Huaqiong interrupted Mrs. Lu with an impatient look on her face and said, "I don't see the sincerity of Mr. Su and Mrs. Su in discussing the marriage. Who doesn't send a matchmaker when discussing a marriage? The Su family sent you here, but what is your identity? Su Chengmin's stepmother or something?"

Mrs. Lu's face turned pale.

Tong Huaqiong thought that she had to make her words sound so harsh so that she could understand.

She didn't want to use her status as an excuse at all, nor did she look down on concubines. She was friendly with them like Lian Hengruo's mother, Aunt Tang. However, regardless of her status, Lu's behavior was disgusting.

Even though she is now the mistress of the Su family, she still has this attitude when she openly interferes in the marriage between Gu Taohua and Su Chengmin.

Since other words can't shut Lu up, then use your status to suppress her.

"This is because my family is kind. If another family sent someone whose identity is unclear to discuss marriage, do you think they would kick you out? I wanted to give you some face, but you just don't understand what I'm saying. I've already told you that Taohua and Chengmin's marriage has been decided. When and where the wedding will take place have been discussed, yet you insist on rushing in to interfere. I have no control over your conflict with the Min family, but if you want to use Taohua's marriage as the cornerstone of your foothold in the Su Mansion, then I won't give you face."

Tong Huaqiong attacked her with all sorts of sarcasm and sarcasm, and Lu finally stopped talking.

"Since Shopkeeper Tong doesn't appreciate it, there's no need for me to say anything more. Goodbye."

Lu stood up.

Tong Huaqiong said "see you off", and Lu was sent out of the Gu family.

Gu Taohua said, "Mrs. Lu has never liked Cheng Min. Why is she so generous this time and wants Cheng Min to marry into the Su family?"

Tong Huaqiong sneered: "You think she has changed her personality, she is just trying to curry favor with Old Madam Su and Su Shihang."

......

"how?"

After Lu returned home, she was called over by Old Lady Su for questioning.

"Shopkeeper Tong and Gu Taohua are stubborn. They would rather let the Min family interfere in the marriage than let our Su family interfere." Mrs. Lu blamed all the mistakes on Tong Huaqiong.

Old Mrs. Su scolded: "Useless thing."

After being treated by the imperial physician, Mrs. Su was able to move again, but her mouth was crooked and she could not speak clearly.

My health is worse than before, and my temper is worse than before.

"If you hadn't come up with the despicable idea of ​​letting your good niece marry Cheng Min, how could Cheng Min have a grudge against me? He's been so angry at you that he hasn't come to visit for several months."

"Chengmin isn't a stingy person. He saved his father when the Fifth Prince rebelled on the 15th day of the first lunar month, which shows he still has feelings for the Su family. He didn't come to our house because of you. Didn't you say you could convince Taohua to change Chengmin's mind? So it's useless after all your efforts. Then why did I let you stay in the Su family? You're not even qualified to be a concubine."

Old Mrs. Su gritted her teeth.

Mrs. Lu's heart sank.

She is now in an awkward position in the Su family.

If you say she is the original wife, she was divorced by Su Shihang. If you say she is a concubine, Su Shihang did not explicitly say that she is a concubine.

After returning from her hometown this time, Su Chengji told her that during the time she was back there, Old Madam Su had already started arranging a new marriage for Su Shihang.

It’s just that the targets that Old Lady Su proposed to marry were too outrageous. They were Princess Mingyue and some legitimate daughters of aristocratic families, so the marriage had never been proposed.

If only Old Lady Su had lowered her threshold, he would have had a new stepmother.

Mrs. Lu was very anxious. She was afraid that Old Madam Su would really arrange a marriage for Su Shihang, and then she would never have the chance to become Mrs. Su again.

For the first time, Mrs. Lu wished that Old Madam Su would die quickly.

"Mother, I admit that my eloquence is not good and I failed to impress Manager Tong and Gu Taohua, but this matter cannot be blamed entirely on me. Gu Taohua said that our family is not sincere and wants to discuss marriage with her without giving her any gold or silver. It is simply a pipe dream." Mrs. Lu suppressed the hatred in her heart and said with lowered eyebrows.

"Why didn't you remind me? Why didn't you give Taohua your own money? You just watched the Su family lose face! You took a lot of Min Baozhen's dowry in the past, didn't you? Just give it back to me and make Taohua happy first. In short, the marriage between Chengmin and Taohua must be held in our Su family."

"Take out the dowry from Min Baozhen that you have hidden under your chin and give it to Taohua as a betrothal gift."

Mrs. Su’s reaction almost made Mrs. Lu lose her composure.
