My stepmother is here, all the rebellious sons and evildoers should kneel down!

After Yu Zhenzhu left, Wen Qiqi repeatedly pondered over this sudden mystery, and ripples arose in her heart - when and where did Lu Zhanyao and his son quietly form an indissoluble bond with the Prince's Mansion?

In her previous life, she had a lot of doubts about the Prince's Mansion, but at that time, she was like a bird imprisoned in a cage, unable to break free from the shackles of fate.

In addition, she was heartbroken by the harm done to her adopted son, and she had even less energy to figure out everything.

Now that I think about it, I was so disheartened by the ruthlessness of the Lu father and son. How stupid!

"Xinyi, the collusion between Lu Zhanyao and his son and the Prince's Mansion is definitely not accidental, there must be some unspeakable secrets."

When I think of the Prince's Mansion, my heart aches.

If her sister had not been taken away by the prince, she would never have lost her life in vain.

"Miss, the prince killed my sister. Such a heartless and ungrateful man can act humble and solemn in front of the emperor. For many years, the prince's mansion has been living a life of luxury and peace of mind. This is enough to show that the prince is a person with a terrible and deep mind!"

Xinyi frowned and looked at Wen Qiqi: "Miss, we must be careful from now on!"

"Ah."

Wen Qiqi nodded.

In this life, she is bound to fight the Lu family father and son to the end!

Since the Prince's Mansion and the Lu family father and son are so close, the story between me and the Prince's Mansion has just begun.

Besides, Madam Lu was beaming with joy today. She originally wanted her son to take her to a big restaurant in Kyoto for a good meal, but Lu Zhanyao used the reason that his current identity should not be made public and coaxed Madam Lu to quickly return to the Lan Mansion.

Madam Lu was pampered for a day, and for a moment it was like she was in a dream...

"Zhan Yao, today is the happiest day since I returned to the capital! In the past, when I lived in the Lu Mansion, there was a carriage to pick me up whenever I wanted to go out for a walk. Now I live in the Lan Mansion. It's a little small, but after all, it was a house given by the Empress Dowager herself, so I'm not picky..."

Madam Lu said proudly: "But mother can't stand being depressed, you should take mother out for a walk more often in the future!"

Lu Zhanyao lowered his head, hardened his heart, and finally said, "Mother, since you returned to Beijing, you have not had any decent places to go. Now your son has bought you jewelry, and will send you new brocade clothes in two days. If there is no occasion for you to participate, it will be boring."

Upon hearing this, Madam Lu immediately became interested and said hurriedly, "Didn't you just say that we still need to be careful now and not show off on the streets... What kind of event can we let mother attend?"

She dreamed of sitting with those noble old ladies in Kyoto. Those glorious days could only be relived in her dreams.

Lu Shengshi looked at Lu Zhanyao uneasily.

Today, she always felt that her brother was weird...

Although I bought jewelry and clothes for my mother, she seemed to be worried.

"Mom, please don't embarrass my brother. Even if we return to Kyoto now, we have to live a cautious and low-key life! You still think that those old ladies who were on good terms with you in the past will look at you squarely... Don't dream in broad daylight!"

After hearing what her daughter said, Mrs. Lu felt as if cold water had been poured over her head and she instantly became extremely depressed.

"I know, your brother is just trying to cheer me up! The momentum of our Lu family is gone forever...never again! I will never be able to get together with those old ladies in Kyoto again in my life...This, this is all caused by Wen Qiqi!"

Lu Zhanyao glanced at Lu Shengshi and said, "In a few days, Jing'an Marquis' son Pei Fengjin will be engaged. Jing'an Marquis is a well-known filial son. The old lady of Jing'an Marquis's mansion has always loved the elderly and pitied the poor. I heard that she wants to take advantage of the joy of her grandson's engagement to invite her cousins ​​in the countryside to Kyoto for a small gathering!"

Lu Shengshi looked at him in confusion: "Brother, ever since the incident at our Lu Mansion, all the old ladies who had some friendship with our mother in the past have avoided us. How can we establish a relationship with the Jing'an Marquis Mansion now?"

"Relationships are naturally impossible to climb."

Lu Zhanyao swallowed his saliva and said, "But if mother can sneak into the Marquis' Mansion as the cousin of the old lady in the Marquis' Mansion, she will definitely be able to attend Pei Fengjin's engagement party! In this way, mother can also relax and broaden her horizons."

Lu Zhanyao's words made Old Madam Lu feel itchy...

"But...but isn't this an impersonation? No, no, I'm already this old. If I get caught, it would be a slap in the face!"

Madam Lu was hesitant.

"Mom, if you lose this opportunity, you will never be able to enter a place like the Marquis' Mansion in your lifetime."

Lu Zhanyao pretended to be filial and said, "I spent a lot of effort to get this news! Anyway, the cousin that the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion wanted to take in was already sick and passed away two years ago. The people working in the Marquis's Mansion are in a dilemma. They are afraid that the old lady will be angry and disappointed, and they are also afraid that the Marquis will scold them for not doing their job well, so they came up with this idea!"

What he said sounded so real that even Lu Shengshi and Aunt Mei believed it.

Lu Shengshi pressed on, "Then where did you get this news? Now that you've lost your position, how could someone tip you off to this news?"

My own sister's words were full of contempt.

Lu Zhanyao sneered in his heart...

He has lost his official position, but he shouldn't be so disdainful to Lu Shengshi, right?

After all, it was him, Lu Zhanyao, who passed the imperial examination!

It was also him, Lu Zhanyao, who moved into the Lu Mansion in Kyoto with his entire family!

But his parents favored this sister with a strong personality and had been pampering and loving her for many years, so much so that Lu Shengshi never really took him, his brother, seriously.

Now the children of the third and fourth rooms are under her care. Lu Shengshi has scolded their father for being incompetent in front of the Lu family's descendants several times, causing the whole family to hide in the Lan Mansion in Kyoto and live cautiously...

After all, only one of the Lu family's children is a fool, and the remaining three are smart and they all complained to their own father!

"Sheng Shi is right. No one cares about me, your brother, right now! But I got this news from my benefactor. Otherwise, do you think I was just hanging around outside these days?"

Lu Shengshi curled her lips: "It's no different if it's not strolling around! Brother, you said you wanted to seek revenge on Wen Qiqi and you would definitely not let her go, but now she has returned to Beijing and you don't even dare to enter the gate of the Wen Mansion!"

She didn't give her own brother any face at all.

"Wen Qiqi thought you were a pile of bones now... If I ran into you someday, I would think I saw a ghost!"

This is weird and disgusting!

If Lu Zhanyao didn't have all the strategies in mind, he really wanted to give Lu Shengshi a big slap!

"Sheng Shi, at least your brother is still alive, and I got this useful news! Mother, don't you think it would be a good thing if you could attend the engagement banquet as the sister of the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion? It is said that the most famous opera troupe in Kyoto was invited to the engagement banquet! The old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion will also go!"

The old lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion is the top noble old lady that all the old ladies in Kyoto are vying to imitate!

"I...I really want to go, but if I'm recognized, it will be troublesome!"

"Mother, it's okay! I will naturally find someone to dress you up! You are old. Even if you went to the Sixth Princess's Mansion, no one would notice you!"

"Then...what about those old ladies I knew before? After all, they are familiar to me. If I recognize them, it will be difficult to deal with them!"

"They are of low status, so they definitely cannot go to the Marquis's mansion!"

As soon as Lu Zhanyao said this, Madam Lu's face showed a hint of secret joy.

"In that case, I'll go and give it a try. I can be considered to be better than all the old ladies I knew before, and it will be worth my trip to this world!"
