In the capital, in front of the mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

A young woman with a dignified appearance sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain, and looked at the magnificent gate of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion. She felt a sense of emotion in her heart, she was finally back.

The young woman was wearing a dress of cloud brocade with a pattern of dark peony flowers and broken branches, a fashionable hairpin on her head, and makeup on. She looked elegant and graceful, but her complexion was pale, and she looked unapproachable.

This person is the Lu family’s legitimate daughter, Lu Wei.

The man Lu Wei married was Liu Huailing, the eldest son of Mr. Liu, the governor of Anzhou. This marriage was decided before Lu Song was promoted.

At that time, the Lu family was considered to be marrying up, and by the time Lu Wei got married, the Lu family's status had risen steadily with Lu Song's title, and their family background was even better than that of the Liu family.

Liu Huailing was a gentle and handsome man, and Lu Wei was also satisfied with him. Overall, this marriage was a good match.

Anzhou is not very close to the capital. The last time Lu Wei returned to Beijing was three years ago.

"Sister-in-law, are we there yet?"

In the carriage, a young girl in a light yellow dress asked Lu Wei in a coquettish tone.

The girl has a pretty face and fair skin, but her facial features are not outstanding. She can only be considered a pretty lady.

When she smiled, she had a pair of dimples, which added a bit of color to her.

Lu Wei glanced at her and then ordered her followers: "Go and announce that I'm back."

In Rongshou Hall, Madam Lu looked at Lu Wei lovingly, her face filled with joy. "I received your letter a while ago, and I figured you'd be back by now. Are you tired from the journey?"

Old Madam Lu loves Lu Wei very much. The two of them get along well with each other, and she really cares about Lu Wei.

Wang Min was also concerned when she saw her daughter. "Why didn't you send someone to tell her in advance? Your father doesn't know you're coming home today. I've already sent someone to tell him, but he's in a hurry and I don't know if he can make time to come home to see you today."

Lu Wei was a little excited when she thought of her father whom she hadn't seen for many years. "Dad is in the capital now. I originally planned to stay at home for a few months. There's no need to worry about not having the opportunity to see him."

Speaking of her father, she asked, "Where's Jiang Nian? Will he be back tonight?"

Madam Lu's expression paled considerably, while Wang Min said calmly, "Unfortunately, he went back to his hometown with Wanru. Calculating the time, he should be back soon."

After hearing this, Lu Wei's face turned unhappy.

However, there were many people in Rongshou Hall, so she didn't say anything else.

Liang Yusong stared at her expression, and all the subtle changes in Lu Wei's face fell into her eyes.

It seems that Lu Wei really doesn't like Yuan Wanru.

"Sister Lu, I haven't seen you for many years, you are still as radiant as ever."

When Liang Yusong was young, Lu Wei spent some time with her and she had a good impression of her.

"Yeah, I didn't expect to see you again when I came back this time."

"You looked cute when you were little, and now you've grown up and become even more beautiful. I wonder which family will be lucky enough to win your favor in the future."

Liang Yusong lowered her head in embarrassment: "Sister Lu always makes fun of me whenever we meet."

"Old Madam, you can't be partial to my sister. She bullies me like this. You have to help me control her mouth."

During this period, Liang Yusong became more attentive to Old Madam Lu, and Old Madam Lu's liking for her grew day by day. She treated Liang Yusong almost the same as she treated the Cao sisters.

"She's right. I thought so too. It's a pity that I don't have this blessing."

Wang Min chuckled: "Old Madam, please don't say that. Is Jiang Xun this child so bad?"

The implication is that if Madam Lu wants this blessing, she can just match Lu Jiangxun and Liang Yusong.

At this time, the Lu family had not yet split up, and Lu Jiangxun was still the legitimate son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. He and Liang Yusong were considered a good match.

"Second sister-in-law, Jiang Xun is not young anymore. You should start to worry about his affairs. Let me tell you, if you can marry a daughter-in-law with excellent character, being a mother-in-law will be much less stressful."

"As for me, everything will be fine if I have Wanru as my daughter-in-law."

"Old Madam, Second Brother and Sister-in-law, what do you say?"

These words made everyone not know how to respond.

Liang Yusong lowered her head, her eyes filled with gloom.

Doesn't this woman's words and actions imply that she looks down on her?

Lu Jiangxun only has a reputation for being a good student, but he is far inferior to Lu Bai and Lu Song. She is the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Weiguo. Is Lu Jiangxun worthy of her?

Madam Lu said calmly, "Jiang Xun will take the imperial examination next year. This is a critical moment. Let's talk about marriage later."

Zhou Fang echoed, "Yeah, I'm not in a hurry."

Lu Wei was displeased when she heard Wang Min defending Yuan Wanru.

That orphan girl actually became her younger brother's sister, and the one who married her was her most proud younger brother, not the ones born out of wedlock.

My parents are so kind and righteous that they even sacrificed their only legitimate son for the sake of saving his life.

If Lu Jiangnian had not been in such a hurry to get married, she would have definitely tried to stop this ridiculous marriage.

However, these words can only be said to my mother in private.

She changed the subject: "Last time, my mother wrote to me and told me that when my grandmother returned to Beijing from Xu County, it was thanks to Yusong's help in treatment. I didn't expect that you, at such a young age, actually had such abilities. It's really admirable."

When Cao Lanxin heard these words, she snorted in her heart, thinking, "What admiration is there?"

She's just a fool who's not in her right mind and wants to be a concubine.

What's more, her cousin definitely looks down on her. Whenever Cao Lanxin thought of this, she had a strange sense of superiority.

So what if he was born into a noble family? Such a brainless person will only lead a mess of life.

As for this older cousin, she was too lazy to get close to her.

After so many years, she still remembered her cousin's contemptuous attitude and contemptuous look when she first met her cousin.

In the eyes of my cousin, the people of the Cao family are like servants who are not worthy of being on the stage.

She also saw the subtle expression on Lu Wei's face when Yuan Wanru was mentioned just now.

It is quite normal that my eldest cousin, who thinks highly of herself, doesn't like Yuan Wanru, an orphan girl.

However, after fighting with Yuan Wanru during that period of time, Cao Lanxin already understood how difficult Yuan Wanru was to deal with.

Now, she is looking forward to Yuan Wanru's quick return. She always feels that Yuan Wanru has a greater chance of winning against Lu Wei.

Cao Lanxin wants to see Lu Wei suffer a setback.

That night, Lu Song really didn't make it back in time for dinner.

Only when there was no one else in the room did Lu Wei tell Wang Min what was in her heart.

"Mother, what are you thinking? How can you let Yuan Wanru become the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lu family?"

"Jiang Nian is a young hero. He holds a high position at a young age and is highly regarded by the Emperor. He is Princess Shang, and that's all."

"You actually let him marry an orphan girl who has no help."

Wang Min frowned and wanted to say something, but Lu Wei didn't give her a chance: "In my opinion, while we still don't have children, it's better to divorce her and find a good wife for Jiang Nian."

After Lu Wei finished speaking, Wang Min looked at her in disbelief: "What did you say!"
