When Yu Jing heard that Lou Xiao was coming, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep since the night before.

The next morning, he dressed up carefully, changed his clothes several times, and was not satisfied until he looked like a handsome young man.

But his sister, Yu Qianhua, the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, did not quite agree with his aesthetic.

"No matter how you dress, you don't look like Li Huaiqing. Why do you have to pretend to be a scholar? You don't like poetry and books." It's not the first time that Yu Qianhua complained about his brother's inability to please women.

At the beginning, she even had to help choose the gifts - although there was no result either, she just felt that her brother was not looking in the right direction.

Yu Jing turned around and said angrily, "What do you know! This kind of dress is the most popular in Beijing. Go and see how many men are dressed like this—"

Yu Qianhua gathered her hair at the back of her head and brushed the pendant through her hair with her slender fingers. "She is very close to Li Huaiqing. You dress in a similar style to Li Huaiqing, but you are not as good-looking or talented as him. How can she remember you?"

"She is not such a superficial person." Yu Jing turned around, the white gauze over the sky-blue brocade robe fluttering with his movements, and he held a folding fan in his hand but had not yet opened it.

"She won't be as obsessed with Li Huaiqing as you are. She likes to get close to him even though he doesn't like her."

Yu Qianhua was really wronged. Although she admired Li Huaiqing, she had never thought of him. "You should say less. If your brother-in-law hears..."

"What if I heard you?" As he was speaking, a muscular man stepped into the door and silenced Yu Qianhua with one glance.

"Hurry up, Jing. The person you want to see is coming soon."

Yu Jing ran out happily, and Yu Qianhua followed him, but her husband grabbed her waist and dragged her back.

He leaned on her, pressed his head against her ear and whispered, "What secret did you just say that I can't hear? Which little servant do you like?"

Yu Qianhua narrowed his eyes and said to him, "Are you done with the farm? The housekeeper said you haven't slept for a few days. I see that you are very sharp-eyed and have good spirits."

"No, I'm so sleepy." He lowered his head and rubbed her neck, full of jealousy, "What is there to hide between you and me? Why don't you tell me? Are you going to marry another husband?"

"Nonsense." Yu Qianhua said with disgust, "Go wash up and have a good sleep. You smell terrible."

"Well, what did you say?"

He still refused to give in, and Yu Qianhua said helplessly, "It's still A Jing. Why did he choose her when there are so many people he could fall in love with..."

The two of them have a mutual understanding, so there is nothing they can't talk about.

The man lying on top of her whispered, "Isn't it good? You are even closer to the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion. That person is also a face in front of His Majesty. The future will be good."

Yu Qianhua elbowed him, "Is that what I mean? Li Huaiqing is very close to her, not to mention who else could be involved. Even if the family were to risk their dignity and beg Old Taishan, would A Jing be able to enter the mansion?"

The main reason is that Ajing is too enthusiastic and the other guy seems to have no intention at all!

The man half-opened his eyes with difficulty and said dazedly, "Why do you care so much... If there is a result, it would be the best. If there is no result, he will understand. People have to go through some things before they grow up."

That was true. Yu Qianhua touched his face and heard his regular breathing. He must have fallen asleep due to extreme sleepiness.

She signaled with her eyes for the servants to come and help him to bed, and whispered to them, "Don't disturb his sleep. He has been working hard recently. When the chicken soup is ready, drink it when he wakes up, and then report to me."

After she was finally done, she tidied her appearance, raised her hand and sniffed the smell on her body. Although she didn't smell anything, she still took a few more sachets with her and hurried to greet the officials and relatives who were about to come to the banquet.

Yu Jing looked up and saw the carriage of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion approaching slowly from afar. His heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of his chest.

The way she got off the carriage was exactly the same as before. Lou Xiao was wearing a turquoise blue gown with a golden phoenix pattern on it. The hem of her skirt shone brightly in the sunlight as she walked. It was obvious at first glance that it was a tribute from the palace.

Her Majesty is really good. She gave her all the good things.

Yu Jing went to meet him, even before Yu Qianhua,

As an elder sister, she would not care about it, but she was afraid that those who cared about etiquette would think that Yu Jing was disrespectful for welcoming guests in person.

But fortunately──Lou Xiao is someone who doesn't care about etiquette.

"Miss Lou!"

Lou Xiao nodded at him kindly, "Mr. Yu."

She reached out her hand to help Old Taishan out, which was to show in front of many people that she had a harmonious relationship with the people in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Yu Jing was even happier to see Lao Taishan, "You're here too! Sister! Come quickly!"

Yu Qianhua had already been by his side.

Old Taishan was naturally helped into the mansion by Yu Jing, while Yu Qianhua and Lou Xiao walked slowly.

Yu Qianhua has been in the officialdom for some years and greeted Lou Xiao skillfully, as if he was very familiar with her.

It's just that Lou Xiao didn't really respond. She just smiled and nodded. Her conversation with Yu Qianhua seemed intimate but actually had no substance.

Until another carriage stopped behind them, Yu Qianhua apologized and left, and Lou Xiao seemed to be a little relieved.

Alas, it’s so tiring to communicate with the old foxes in officialdom.

The new arrival was Wu'an Marquis Lu Huan. When he got off the carriage, he happened to meet the eyes of Lou Xiao who was looking at him curiously. Lou Xiao nodded in a friendly and official manner and turned to enter Yu Mansion.

Lu Huan was distracted for a moment before he started to exchange pleasantries with Yu Qianhua and was invited into the mansion.

After he came in, he didn't see Lou Xiao again. For some reason, he felt a little disappointed.

The Yu Mansion and the Zhenguogong Mansion have a close relationship, so it is normal for Lou Xiao to appear in the Yu Mansion. However, there have been rumors that this illegitimate daughter is not on good terms with the people in the mansion.

After all, it was an "outsider" who suddenly appeared and took away the title, so Old Taishan of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion should have a bad relationship with her.

Her coming to the Yu Mansion meant that she had truly taken over the marriage relationship of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and treated Lao Taishan and Lou Honglousheng as her own family.

Lu Huan had been waiting for the woman, and he declined the increasing compliments.

He didn't know what the person looked like yet, so he had a servant following him all the time, waiting a little bored, becoming more and more annoyed.

"Sir, she's here." The servant saw clearly a woman in plain clothes who had just stepped into the door. She had a calm expression, and her facial features and clothes were not decorated much. She looked extremely plain.

It looked pretty good, and both sides seemed to have some satisfaction in their expressions.

Lu Huan met her gaze, and they looked at each other, neither willing to give way. In the end, Lu Huan lowered his head and said something to the waiter, and then the two turned their eyes away like strangers.

We met in the garden of Yu's house and had an open conversation.

Since it is just a relationship of interest, you only need to analyze the pros and cons and clarify the respective division of labor to maintain a stable in-law relationship.

Lu Huan had a very good idea, but when he really stood in front of the person with whom he might spend his life, he couldn't say a word.
