After entering the book, the cold prince begs for favor

After she finished her snacks and drank a few cups of tea, someone came.

"Madam, Qingju, who works for the old lady, is here. She said the old lady wants you to come over."

Aunt Pang looked worried, but Qingjue, that little bitch, kept her mouth shut and nothing could be asked of her.

The old lady had never liked her daughter and had not even attended the recognition ceremony. Aunt Pang was feeling very upset.

Not to mention feeling unwell, she heard that on the morning of the recognition ceremony, the old lady walked around the Rongshou Hall courtyard several times after dinner.

It can be seen that he is in high spirits.

Now she specially invited the girl to Rongshou Hall, I'm afraid it's not a good thing.

Yuan Wanru smiled and said, "It's not a dangerous place. Please don't frown. Mother is also in Rongshou Hall. With her protecting me, nothing can happen."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Pang breathed a sigh of relief.

Madam Lu's gray hair was combed sleek and straight. She wore a dark blue silk dress and had a long, thin face. She looked gloomily at Yuan Wanru who had stepped into the main hall. "Evil creature, kneel down!"

The voice was full of energy, not like that of a person who had just recovered from an illness.

Yuan Wanru was not stupid, so she would not kneel down obediently. She looked at Madam Lu in confusion: "I wonder what Wanru did wrong to make Madam Lu so angry?"

Wang Min immediately stood up and protected the person behind her: "Old Madam, the matter has not been clarified yet, why are you so anxious to make Wanru kneel?"

The atmosphere in the room was somewhat tense. Zhou Fang whispered, "Don't be angry, Madam. Your health is the most important thing. If the Second Master knew you were so angry, he would probably rush back from the government office immediately."

"Sister-in-law, you are really something. The younger generation should obey the orders of the elders."

"Since she did such a wicked thing and angered the old lady, shouldn't she kneel? If she upsets the old lady and the Marquis investigates, my sister-in-law won't be able to bear the consequences."

This is not persuasion at all, it's clearly adding fuel to the fire.

As expected, Madam Lu became even angrier: "She has been looking forward to pissing me off to death. She has no power over her head, so she is acting recklessly, isn't she?"

"Look at the kind of wife she found for Jiang Nian. It's ok if she has a humble family background, but can someone with bad character marry in?"

"Yusong is my savior. They treat Yusong like this, are they trying to piss her off and make me die of illness and pain?"

She was shaking with anger, but Wang Min spoke softly, unaffected by the situation: "Wanru is the daughter-in-law approved by the Marquis. If the old lady wants to blame you, then go and find the Marquis to argue with her."

"We are talking about another matter now, why bother involving other things."

Liang Yusong, whose eyes were red, flashed slightly. She suddenly stood up, took Madam Lu's hand, and gently persuaded her, "Madam, your love and care are deeply appreciated."

"Yusong just wants to clarify the matter. If the old lady gets hurt because of this, Yusong will feel uneasy."

She turned to Wang Min and smiled faintly: "Aunt Lu is right, the matter has not been clarified yet, maybe this is just a misunderstanding."

"Old Madam, calm down and listen to what Miss Yuan has to say."

Old Madam Lu liked Liang Yusong very much, and after her persuasion, he finally sat down again.

"The evidence is conclusive. There must be some misunderstanding."

"You're just too soft-hearted, that's all."

"I want to hear what this evil creature's intentions are."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Jiangnian, who had been standing by the door for a while, walked in confidently.

Liang Yusong lowered her eyes, hiding the dark light in them. When she saw a piece of robe corner just now, she had a premonition that the person standing outside must be Lu Jiangnian.

Sure enough.

After recognizing each other as relatives, Yuan Wanru never saw Lu Jiangnian again.

Today he was wearing a dark green coat and a white jade pendant with double dragon patterns hung around his waist, which made him look elegant, noble and proud.

His expression was calm as he greeted all the elders.

When Madam Lu saw her grandson, she suppressed her anger and asked with a smile, "Why are you here at this time?"

Lu Jiangnian handed over the long box in his hand: "I happened to get a ginseng, and wanted to use it to nourish grandma, so I returned home."

"My child, it will be the same if I send you the ginseng at another day. Grandmother knows how filial you are."

"There's nothing important here, just go and do your thing."

Lu Jiangnian stood straight, with no intention of leaving.

"Something seems to have happened in the mansion. Is it related to the Yuan family? If so, I should stay."

Mrs. Lu originally didn't want her grandson to get involved, but then she thought that it might be a good thing if Jiang Nian could see Yuan Wanru's vicious heart.

Wang Min took the opportunity to pull Yuan Wanru to sit down.

Fortunately, his son arrived in time. If something happened to his wife, how could a husband just ignore it?

-

It turned out that it was because of Liang Yusong's sneaking away to Yanmen County.

"Your mother and I both ordered that no one should talk about that matter, but this morning, Yu Shuang was walking in the garden and heard two little maids discussing it."

"Upon investigation, it turned out that the words came from Yuan's mouth."

"The words were so rude. How could a little girl like Yusong endure such foul language? She was so angry that she didn't even eat breakfast. Her eyes were swollen from crying."

"She saved me several times, and her father wrote a personal letter entrusting her to our Lu family. Is this how we treat people?"

"She, Yuan Wanru, must give Yusong an explanation for this matter. If you still recognize me as your elder, you are not allowed to plead for mercy."

The old lady's face turned pale and she pointed at Yuan Wanru.

Liang Yusong's eyes were filled with tears, and she sobbed a few times: "Brother Lu, you don't know, they actually said... said..."

"I am a noble lady from an official family, and I am traveling to Yanmen County. I don't know if I will encounter any scandals on the way. No wonder people are talking about me."

"They also said that I might not even be... innocent..."

Tears fell down, and the little girl looked so aggrieved.

She looked at Yuan Wanru with a pitiful look on her face: "Miss Yuan, I'm so sorry. The night we return to Beijing is a good day for you. If I were more powerful, I could have cured the old lady earlier and I wouldn't have disturbed you."

"Also, you must believe me. Although Brother Lu and I met in Yanmen County, nothing happened between us."

"If you're angry, you can vent it on me, but you shouldn't ruin my reputation."

"If my mother heard these words, she would be so sad."

Lu Jiangnian frowned slightly, and glanced over at her with a sharp gaze, examining her.

Yuan Wanru was not afraid at all. She opened her beautiful eyes and glared back without mercy.

She looked around and said firmly, "I didn't do it."

"There were so many people at Rongshou Hall that day. How can you prove that I was the one who spread the news?"

"Miss Liang and I just met for the first time. There's really no need to harm you."

"The Lu family has a clean and upright family tradition. My husband was raised by his parents, so he is well-mannered, respectful, and steady. I have never had any doubts about him. Miss Liang's words just now are really puzzling."

Liang Yusong seemed to be speechless because of her, and could only mutter: "Miss Yuan..."

Madam Lu couldn't bear to see her so pitiful. She sneered, "Do you think I would come to you without evidence?"

"Bring the people up."
