Mother and son join forces to abuse the scum to seize power and fight for the family property!

She knew that she was pretty, but she wasn't good-looking enough to make Lu Ziyi lose his composure like that.

As the eldest son of Duke Yu, what kind of beauties has Lu Ziyi not seen?

Why stare at her like a pervert?

Lu Ziyi reached out and held her hand, "Luo'er! Do you know... where I first met you?"

Chen Qingluo pondered for a few seconds, but she couldn't figure it out.

The last time she met Lu Ziyi was at her mother's birthday party, but Lu Ziyi...

This shouldn't be the first time I've seen her.

In recent years, she rarely goes out, and even when she does, she wears a veil.

Firstly, she really didn't like to join in the fun, and secondly, she didn't want to cause trouble for her parents.

Her face has both advantages and disadvantages.

She shook her head slightly, "I don't know. When have you seen me?"

Lu Ziyi smiled mysteriously, "Luo'er, guess first. I'm going out to entertain the guests."

After saying that, he turned around and went out.

He asked the maid to take good care of Chen Qingluo, and then took Lu Zize to the front yard.

Lu Zizhe: "Brother! Remember to give me the silver spear!"

"I'll send someone to your room later." Lu Ziyi promised.

He keeps his word, would he cheat?

Hearing this, Lu Zizhe was happy.

"Brother, you are so stupid! You just gave me such a good silver spear like that." Lu Zizhe couldn't help but laugh at Lu Ziyi.

I got a great bargain, so I couldn't help but feel happy.

Lu Ziyi glanced at Lu Zize and pursed his lips slightly. What does Lu Zize know?

Now nothing can compare to his wife!

It’s just a small silver gun, I’ll just give it to you.

Lu Ziyi pinched Lu Zizhe's shoulders and said, "In my heart, nothing is more important than your sister-in-law!"

Lu Zizhe: ...

Is this still his elder brother?

Could it be that he was possessed by some lustful vixen?

His elder brother once said that a woman is not as valuable as a pot of wine.

It seems that he has not been with his elder brother for too long and is becoming more and more unfamiliar with him.

The two returned to the front yard and went to entertain the guests.

At the banquet, men and women sat at separate tables, but they were all in the same place, just separated by an aisle.

Su Yuan looked at the people next door drinking and playing around.

The Crown Prince also came today. Originally, Queen Lu would have come back as well, but when she woke up in the morning, she injured her waist and could only ask her personal nanny to come and deliver gifts.

Sima Gong drank a few glasses of wine and was already drunk. He pushed Lu Ziyi.

"Cousin! This is where you're wrong! Why don't you let... don't you let us see the bride? Could it be true, as the rumors say, that my sister-in-law is ugly? Huh?" He looked at Lu Ziyi with a smile.

Lu Ziyi forced a smile and asked the eunuch to quickly help Sima Gong return to the East Palace to prevent Sima Gong from making a fool of himself.

Sima Gong's embarrassment not only brought shame upon Sima Gong, but also upon the Empress and their Duke Yu's Mansion.

"Your Highness has drunk too much. You should go back and rest first. I will treat you to a drink when I have time." Lu Ziyi handed the man over to the eunuchs of the East Palace and asked them to escort him away quickly.

The eunuch did not dare to delay and directly helped Sima Gong away.

The guests didn't dare to force Lu Ziyi to drink. They just drank a few glasses symbolically and then let Lu Ziyi go.

When Lu Ziyi returned to his room, Su Yuan also left the Duke's Mansion and was preparing to return to the Marquis' Mansion.

Cheng Lang chased out and personally sent Su Yuan back home.

In the carriage, Su Yuan glared at him.

Is he trying to tell everyone that their relationship is special?

They didn't have much contact before, and now they can't be too close in front of others!

"Brother, what are you doing? Why did you suddenly offer to send me back home?" Su Yuan asked.

Cheng Lang smiled, not for any reason, just wanting to give it to her.

Besides, everyone knows about Gu Yu’s relationship with them, but they don’t interact with him. Wouldn’t that make people more suspicious?

So it's normal to have some contact occasionally.

"I just want to send you off openly." Cheng Lang said.

Su Yuan sighed softly, forget it, it has been given even if I don’t want to, there is no point in making a fuss about it.

Now that the New Year is approaching, Cheng Liang will be very busy.

I guess I won't have time to deal with her.

Thinking of this, Su Yuan leaned closer to Cheng Lang.

"Su Yan, the end of the year is approaching. I asked someone to make a set of cotton-padded clothes for the soldiers in Dongying. How do you think I should give it to you?" Su Yuan asked in a low voice.

Seeing that Su Yuan's tone was gentle and she called him "Su Yan", Cheng Lang became more presumptuous and reached out to hold her in his arms.

Anyway, the groom is one of us, so there is no need to be shy.

"I sent someone to get it, but... it cost you a lot of money." Cheng Lang didn't know what to say, so he could only thank Su Yuan on behalf of the 200,000 soldiers.

Among their four camps in Dongyu, their Dongying has the largest number of soldiers, while the other three camps have only 180,000 to 190,000 soldiers.

Of the 200,000 soldiers in their East Camp, 150,000 were stationed in East City, and 50,000 followed him back to Kyoto.

He is also the only general who can lead troops back to Kyoto, which shows the favor and trust that His Majesty has in him.

He was unwilling to marry and have children, not only for Su Yuan, but also to reassure His Majesty.

He has no family and no children or grandchildren, so Your Majesty will not worry that he will rebel, and is willing to hand over the military power to him.

Over the years, he has never formed a clique for personal gain and has always been a loner. His Majesty's trust in him far exceeds that of Duke Yuguo Lu Qin.

In His Majesty's heart, he and Chen Jingzhong are both reliable military generals.

"It doesn't matter! Our Li family has plenty of money anyway. Instead of letting that person get away with it, we might as well do something good for the country and the people." Su Yuan said with a smile.

She has already withdrawn the Li family's business from the open to the dark, and Sima Yunlong probably won't keep an eye on their Li family anymore.

But who knows?

Ever since she went to Linzhou, she has been having people set up porridge stalls to distribute porridge and medicine. She has a certain reputation both in Kyoto and in Linzhou.

With this reputation, Sima Yunlong will not touch the Li family again.

"With me here, no one will touch the Li family. You don't need to worry." Cheng Lang comforted.

What's more, the Li family is no longer the same as before.

At least in the eyes of outsiders, those shops do not belong to the Li family. The Li family is no longer the once prosperous Li family.

Moreover, all the property of the Li family fell into the hands of Su Yuan, who was the wife of the Marquis of Zhennan.

If one wants to obtain the Li family's property, he must also raid the Zhennan Marquis Mansion.

But the old marquis has made great military achievements and has guarded Dongyu all his life. It is not a serious crime of treason. Your Majesty has no reason to raid the Marquis of Zhennan's mansion.

But now the Marquis of Zhennan is just a good-for-nothing, how could he possibly think of rebelling?

Therefore, it is not easy to take the Li family's property for oneself in a reasonable manner.

Dongyu's treasury is still quite full, so there is no need for Your Majesty to risk being cursed by the people of the world to annex the Li family.

Su Yuan doesn't have to worry about these at all.

"So! I also want to return the favor and help Su Yan reward the soldiers who have fought life and death with you." Su Yuan said with a smile.

When the time comes, Cheng Liang will say that he used his own money to subsidize the soldiers.
