He was furious, "Nonsense, how can a nephew from another family come to persuade his aunt... to go home!"
Lu Chen pulled his lips and laughed sarcastically, "I am my nephew, so I can't do that. When I return home today, I will ask my mother and grandmother to come in person."
Bai Yanlang didn't know that he had only scolded Bai Youyou and things turned out like this, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
I have been accustomed to talking to the Lu family like this for more than ten years. Today, I forgot that the boy from the Lu family was here and did not restrain myself.
He thought about it and smiled awkwardly, "My seventh nephew, you are joking. Your aunt is always thinking about your mother-in-law. Tomorrow, I will let your aunt and cousin go back to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to stay for a while, so that you can show your filial piety."
Mrs. Lu was a generous person. Whenever she was wronged in the past, Bai Yanlang would just coax her and she would be fine. She had never returned to her parents' home to complain.
This time, Mrs. Lu didn't give him face and snorted coldly, "You came here to ask me not to embarrass a concubine's daughter. Are you trying to send me away so that the little bitch can escape punishment?"
"You are her stepmother, so it is your responsibility to teach her the rules."
Bai Yanlang's little thoughts were exposed, and he forced an unnatural smile on his stiff face.
"My Zhenguo Mansion never bullies others by taking advantage of its power," Lu Chen played with a jade pendant in his hand. Suddenly, he put away the careless look on his face and said in a cold tone, "But the daughter of my Zhenguo Mansion has always been precious and cannot be bullied by others at will. Bullying her is bullying my Zhenguo Mansion!"
The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had all moved out. Bai Yanlang pursed his lips and smiled dryly, "Of course no one will bully your aunt. Your seventh nephew is worrying too much."
"The government office still has things to deal with, Madam, please treat my seventh nephew well, I will leave first."
Knowing that staying any longer would lead to bad consequences, he stood up and strode out, and within a few breaths he disappeared from sight.
He came in a rage and fled in a panic, which made Lu and Yang Momo couldn't help laughing.
After Lu vented her anger, she felt refreshed. She said to Cuizhu, "Cuizhu, go and make a pot of hot tea. Also, ask the kitchen to make some crispy duck and glutinous rice chrysanthemum chicken. I want to have a good time today."
Bai Youyou was overjoyed seeing Lu like this.
The Lu family is just simple-minded. If someone else had such a high family background, they would have used it to shock the whole family.
She held the imperial sword but didn't know how to use it, and allowed her concubine to bully her.
I'm so happy just because I won a little victory today.
She smiled and looked at Cuizhu, "Sister Cuizhu, remember to warm up another pot of hot wine for my mother at noon."
"Yes."
Cuizhu happily agreed, knelt down to salute, and then walked out.
Lu Chen liked this aunt the most, and said with a smile: "Aunt, if there is anything, please send a letter home. Although my grandmother and my mother can't control the affairs of my uncle's backyard, they can still support you."
"Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken? There's no need. Your aunt is enough to deal with the few people in this mansion."
Mrs. Lu was careless and waved her hand, "Look, today I beat your uncle to the ground by myself. If he comes to me again in the future, I will not let him off!"
Lu Chen smiled but said nothing.
Before my cousin came, my uncle kept saying that she, as the legitimate mother, did not care about her illegitimate children. My aunt was so angry that she was about to explode, and she couldn't say anything after scolding for a long time.
It was my cousin who hit the weak spot directly, and her doting on her wife made my uncle afraid to act rashly.
"You guys should go to the Big Buddha Temple to appreciate the plum blossoms, so hurry up and come back early in the afternoon. Then we can have a drink together and have some fun."
Lu asked someone to bring the prepared fruits and pastries over, "If you get hungry on the way, eat these to fill your stomach."
Xiaoju tactfully stepped forward and took the food box from the maid, his eyes shining.
The young lady loved her the most and would give her half of everything.
Bai Youyou and Lu Chen arrived at the gate of the mansion, where Lu's carriage was already waiting.
The coachman took out a stool and placed it in front of the carriage, and the two men stepped on the stool and got into the carriage.
It was Bai Youyou’s first time riding in a horse carriage and it was quite novel.
Lu Chen's eyes flickered slightly. After getting on the carriage, he took out a water bag and said with a smile, "You said before that you learned how to make tea. You make this tea today, and I want to taste your craftsmanship."
Bai Youyou was slightly stunned, realizing that she had just been like Granny Wang visiting the Grand View Garden, which had aroused his suspicion.
She thought about it carefully and realized that the original owner had never learned how to make tea, nor had she told him that she could make tea.
She blinked her almond-shaped eyes, looking puzzled, "Seventh cousin, I don't know how to make tea. Did you remember it wrongly? I never told you that I can make tea."
"Really?" Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled even more, "Maybe I remembered it wrong."
He picked up the teapot, filled it with water, lit the charcoal fire, and took out a can of tea. He leaned over and whispered, "This is the Biluochun tea that was awarded in the palace. I secretly took it from my grandfather's study."
"Isn't grandpa's tea all from grandma?" Bai Youyou pretended to be surprised.
"You remember it clearly."
Lu Chen smiled and glanced at her, placing all the tea sets on the small table, "Last time you said you would give me a sword for my birthday. My birthday is in March, have you prepared the birthday gift?"
Bai Youyou's face fell immediately after hearing this, "Don't you want a longbow? I've asked someone to find one for you."
The defensiveness in Lu Chen's eyes was completely removed. He raised his hand and rubbed Bai Youyou's head, jokingly saying, "Cousin is teasing you on purpose."
Bai Youyou pouted and rolled her eyes at him, feeling surprised that this man was so cautious at only thirteen.
Mrs. Lu was not very thoughtful and did not notice her daughter's sudden change in personality, but he noticed it in just a moment.
Fortunately, this is a world in a book, and she has the original owner's memories in her mind, otherwise her life would be in danger.
Xiaoju had been listening attentively to Lu Chen's probing of his young lady, and after confirming that it was not someone else impersonating him, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She held the food box prepared by Lu in her arms like a treasure, staring at it eagerly.
Seeing how greedy she was, Bai Youyou found it a little funny, "Xiao Ju, take out all the fruits and pastries. We still have some time to get to the Big Buddha Temple. Let's drink tea and eat fruits to fill our stomachs first."
"Yes, ma'am."
Xiaoju happily opened the food box and took out the fruits and cakes inside one by one.
She is a family-born child who grew up with Bai Youyou since childhood, and Lu Chen has always treated her as a little sister.
"Eat."
Bai Youyou and Lu Chen each took a piece, and Xiaoju then happily picked up a piece of the cake and started eating it in small bites.
The carriage was shaking, making Bai Youyou feel a little dizzy. She leaned against the wall, half-closing her eyes, searching her mind for memories.
The Duke of Zhenguo originally had three brothers, but only the current Duke of Zhenguo survived the battlefield.
The Duke of Zhenguo married a wife and had a son and a daughter.
The original owner's uncle and aunt were extremely lucky in having children, and gave birth to seven sons.
The eldest, second and third sons are all married, and now the eldest and second sons' wives are pregnant.
If the Duke of Zhenguo lives long, his descendants will surely be numerous in the future.
