After entering the book, the cold prince begs for favor

For a moment, the originally bustling flower hall became chaotic.

Lu Song carried Old Madam Lu and rushed to Rongshou Hall, and Wang Min naturally followed.

Soon, Yuan Wanru and Lu Jiangnian were the only ones left in the flower hall.

Yuan Wanru thought about what had just happened and always felt that something was wrong.

Seeing that she remained silent, Lu Jiangnian reached out and hugged her to his chest: "I'm worried, but grandma has always been in good health, so she'll be fine."

"Even if she's angry, she's angry with me. It's none of your business."

Then she realized that he was worried that she would blame herself.

Feeling warm in her heart, she shook her head and said, "I just felt that there was something strange about the old lady's fainting, so I was distracted."

"What's wrong?"

Lu Jiangnian knew that she was always smart and would not say such a thing for no reason.

Yuan Wanru took his hand and walked out: "We'll talk about the details later. Now we have to rush to Rongshou Hall."

He lowered his head, looking at their clasped hands, and an inopportune sentence popped out of his mind: This is the first time she took the initiative to hold his hand.

-

In Rongshou Hall, the court physician also arrived and was taking Madam Lu's pulse.

After a long while, he stood up and said, "The old lady's blood and qi are full, her pulse is strong, and she is fine."

Liang Yusong lowered her head, hiding the smug smile in her eyes.

It has been nearly two months since I entered the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, and there has been no progress.

She originally thought that Lu Jiangnian married Yuan Wanru out of helplessness, but she didn't expect that Lu Jiangnian was weak-willed and was hooked by Yuan Wanru so quickly.

Her parents have devoted all their efforts to training her, and her aunt has such faith in her. If she can't even win over Lu Jiangnian, wouldn't all the preparations over the years be in vain?

She was wrong, her approach was too conservative.

Just now at the banquet, she deliberately caused a dispute between Yuan Wanru and Old Madam Lu, just to create the illusion that Yuan Wanru had fainted from anger.

Everything went as she had imagined, except that Yuan Wan had contradicted the old woman.

If Old Lady Lu still doesn't wake up tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, will the Lu family still tolerate Yuan Wanru as before?

The good show has just begun, Yuanshi, you won’t be so lucky this time.

The people of the Lu family felt relieved when they heard the words of the court doctor.

Zhou Fang was the first to speak out: "It's okay this time, everything is fine, but what if it happens next time?"

"Brother, you can't just leave it alone. This isn't the first time Wanru has contradicted the old lady. She's so unfilial. What if she makes the old lady angry and hurts herself? What are we going to do?"

Zhou Fang sincerely hopes that Madam Lu will live a long life.

Parents are here, no separation.

Old Master Lu is gone. If Old Madam Lu also dies, the second branch will have to separate. Without the reputation of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion, what will happen to Jiang Xun's marriage?

Even if Jiang Xun got married, as long as the family did not separate, the second branch could not only rely on the power of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion, but also rely on the money of the first branch to make a living and save the second branch's expenses.

In short, the old woman still needs to live for a few more decades.

Lu Bai was also dissatisfied: "Jiang Nian, Wanru, it's okay for you young people to be angry. Your grandmother is old, so just pretend you didn't hear anything unpleasant. Why do you have to argue with her?"

"If you get angry and develop some kind of illness, it will make everyone feel bad."

Lu Jiangnian stood straight, without a smile on his face.

He said calmly, "Grandma is our elder, and we should respect her, but we can't let this wrong my wife."

"It's obviously not her fault, why do you have to make her suffer?"

"We are all family. When there is a disagreement, who should we help?"

"I believe that only by convincing others with reason, without indulgence, flattery, or foolish filial piety, can we rectify family traditions and maintain the long-term prosperity of the family."

"Second Uncle should not have forgotten these words."

Lu Bai took a deep breath and couldn't utter a word.

How could he forget that ten years ago, his father had asked him and Jiang Nian this question: what exactly should the Lu family do to go further and stand higher?

He didn't answer well at the time, but it was Jiang Nian who said it, which made his father nod in approval.

This is roughly what Jiang Nian meant by what he said.

Lu Jiangnian continued, "Grandpa and grandmother have been through so many ups and downs for so many years. I believe that even if grandmother is angry, it's only temporary. As long as we all explain the truth clearly, she will eventually understand.

"Could it be that in Second Uncle's mind, Grandma is someone who is impossible to communicate with and unreasonable?"

He had already said everything, what else did Lu Bai have to say?

"Well, your grandmother is old, so please be more tactful when speaking to her. This request from your uncle isn't too much, is it?"

Lu Jiangnian nodded: "That's what I should do."

"Uncle, please recall that my wife's words just now did not mean to offend Grandmother at all."

"If serving soup is filial piety, then as far as I can remember, my second uncle and my father never even served a bowl of soup to my grandmother."

Lu Bai was so angry that he blurted out: "What are you talking about? We are men, how can we do such things? Besides, don't we have servants?"

"That's right. Since you have servants, why do you have to serve soup to show your filial piety? It shows that grandma's previous accusations against my wife were completely unreasonable."

"My father and second uncle are my grandmother's biological children. If we're talking about filial piety, you should be ranked first."

"So, according to this standard, the first people Grandmother should blame are my father and second uncle, right?"

Lu Bai was completely speechless.

Forget it, forget it. He shouldn’t have debated with Lu Jiangnian for so many years. He never won.

Yuan Wanru witnessed Lu Jiangnian's eloquent side for the first time.

His eloquence is not inferior to hers.

Wang Min finally let go of the worry she had been feeling.

As long as you don't blame Wanru for the old lady's fainting, it'll be fine.

These words can only be said by Jiang Nian, no one else can say them.

Jiang Nian has been an outstanding literary talent since he was a child. When his grandfather was alive, he hoped that he would become the top scholar in the imperial examination. However, Jiang Nian was disobedient and insisted on joining the army.

The old lady was very angry about this matter and felt that he had wasted his grandfather's years of teachings.

Lu Song was open-minded. After persuading him twice, he just let him go.

Wang Min still remembers what Lu Song said at the time: "Whether he chooses literature or martial arts, as long as he doesn't regret it, it's fine. Our son is not an ordinary person. He will be the best wherever he goes.

Now it seems that what her husband said was right. It is very rare throughout history for someone to be promoted to a third-rank official at such a young age based on military merit.

Lu Song listened for a while, then stood up and said, "Okay, since mom is fine, let's go."

Walking on the way back to Lingshuiju, Yuan Wanru turned her head to look at him from time to time, as if she hadn't seen him for a long time.

Lu Jiangnian held her head with amusement and said, "Just say whatever you want to say. Don't strain your neck."

She chuckled a few times: "I just realized that you are so good at arguing. I don't know if I can win if we argue in the future."

He was stunned. He didn't expect that she was doing this.

"In the military camp, words don't work, fists are what count."

"Whoever refuses to accept it, just beat me and we'll talk."

Those two casual sentences, yet they carried a restrained arrogance, were truly... damn charming.

He suddenly laughed twice.

"As for us, what's more interesting than quarreling? It's a waste of time."

"It would be nice to see who can kiss longer."

"I think I won't lose, my lady, how about a match now?"
