Quickly wear it with your skills

Lan Hanlu spent her days counting money until her hands cramped. She had asked the carpenter on the farm to continue making boxes and cabinets.

The past two years have been good, and Daxia has the victories of the first two years to support it. In addition, business is booming everywhere, attracting many foreigners, who come from all directions to congratulate it.

With people, there is a flow of supplies, and this is the best time to stock up. But she didn't know that a trouble she thought was over was approaching her.

She has been eyeing the craftsmanship of the palace's manufacturing bureau for a while now, but she discussed this matter with Qi Linmu. She didn't think about using people for free, and she wouldn't be stingy with the reward.

After a rain, it would be two days before spring plowing. On this day, Lan Hanlu was in the manor, watching the new maids playing shuttlecock.

After being locked up for a whole winter, the clothes were thinner in spring and people were more agile. Some of the young maids could not help themselves and were jumping rope and playing shuttlecock in the yard.

Lan Hanlu didn't care about them unless she was on duty, so these maids had a lot of fun and the yard was bustling with chatter.

At this time, someone came in to report. "Madam, General Lou is outside asking to see you."

Lan Hanlu frowned, guessing that he might have come to express his gratitude for the 5000 taels. Although her motives were not pure, she did not feel guilty at all about the other party's gratitude.

So she didn't say anything and asked someone to bring him in. She thought that after such a long time, Lou Xiao should have sorted out all the things and become a high-spirited general again.

Unexpectedly, he looked haggard and exhausted. Lan Hanlu paused for a moment before continuing to entertain him as if nothing had happened.

"General, please take a seat. Xiao Taozi, please serve tea. How come you have time to come here at this time? It's not that close to the capital!" She looked very relaxed, as if she was an old friend.

Although Lou Xiao knew from his memory that Lulu was no longer the Lulu of her previous life and she was very determined when she left, her current attitude still made him feel heavy-hearted.

He had always loved only Lulu, but he had missed both opportunities. Especially in this life, she was unwilling to bear a child for him.

It directly severed all friendship between the two people from the root.

"Lulu, I..." He closed his eyes and looked at the maids and nannies standing around him. The meaning was self-evident.

Lan Hanlu felt uncomfortable seeing him hesitating like this, so she waved her hand and these people squatted down, saluted and retreated.

Then Lou Xiao continued, "Can you give me another chance? Not this time. I'll send Qiao Chuxue away. Lulu, are you really willing to give up our son?"

His previous words annoyed Lan Hanlu. Why bring up this matter again? Hadn't they already discussed it? But the next sentence froze Lan Hanlu's expression.

Staring at him with burning eyes, Lou Xiao became more certain when he saw Lan Hanlu's look, so he grabbed Hanlu's hand.

Lan Hanlu was awakened by the touch of her hand and waved it vigorously. "Let me go." Lou Xiao's hand was waved aside.

Lan Hanlu picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, calming her emotions that had been stirred by his words. Then she put the teacup down and stared at him intently. Knowing that he might have been reborn, she no longer had any concerns.

She curled her lips in a sarcastic smile. "Lou Xiao, you take yourself too seriously. When I loved you, you were a treasure. When I didn't, you were worthless. As for that unfilial son, huh? How could I have given birth to him if I hadn't done something wrong in my past life?"

I have taken care of him, loved him and educated him since he was young, but a word from you, a heartless man, has made him turn around and blame me, his mother.

Lou Xiao, there's filth and disgust in your blood."

Hearing Lan Hanlu say this, Lou Xiao became anxious. "Lulu, you misunderstood. My feelings for Qiao Chuxue are just childhood friendship. As for my son, he has always regretted your death.

No, we both regretted it. We really didn't expect to cause you such great harm. Until my death, my son regretted what he did as a child.

Lulu, please give me a chance to make amends."

Lan Hanlu picked up the cup she had been drinking tea from and splashed it on Lou Xiao's face. Lou Xiao calmed down a little.

To the expressionless Lan Hanlu above, "Are you awake? Since you said you regretted your past life, why didn't you die with me? You haven't even done anything to atone for your sins, how can you have the nerve to apologize to me.

I used to think we were just two people with different ideas, but now I think you are a scumbag. If you completely admit that you are greedy for gentleness and beauty, I won’t be so angry.

You always boast about your love for me, but you haven't done anything to show your love for me, so what qualifications do you have to come in front of me and disgust me?

Lou Xiao, get out of my village right now. From now on, we will never have anything to do with each other again."

Lan Hanlu actually felt that she was really angry.

Lou Xiao left Zhuangzi in a daze, but before he returned to the capital, Qi Linmu had already received the news. Although it was unclear what the two talked about, Lou Xiao's decadence could not be concealed.

He was reviewing memorials when he heard the news and threw the red brush in his hand onto the table. "It's just that I have nothing to do and am too idle."

With just these words, the room fell silent.

As soon as it got dark, he took a set of red coral jewelry and secretly left the capital with his men, riding at full speed to the small village on Lanhan Road.

When the cold evening wind blew on his face, he was secretly cursing himself for being sick. It took nearly four hours to go back and forth. If he wasn't sick, why would he go there in the chilly spring wind?

There are so many things in my mind, but my feet never stop walking.

When he arrived at the manor, it was the turn of the people he sent to guard the manor, so he just waved his hand and went in without notifying anyone.

When he entered the yard and approached Lan Hanlu's room, he heard noisy sounds coming from inside.

"How is it? I'm right, right? I'm telling you, this is the man of my dreams, a man of beauty and wealth. If I had to describe him in one sentence, it would be, sir, please love me dearly."

Lan Hanlu's unique crisp and charming voice was heard, but the content of the painting made Qi Linmu's face turn pale and his back teeth creaked.

Judging from the scene through the window, Lan Hanlu should be holding a portrait and showing it to the servants.

The people who followed lowered their heads and retreated silently.

Lan Hanlu was still challenging Qi Linmu's nerves. "How about you tell me if I'm wrong? Who wouldn't love someone of such status and position?"

She turned the portrait towards herself again, stroked it with her hand and said these words.
