Chapter 129 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey

Lu Zhanxing smiled and pulled his two friends along.

"Okay, okay, I'll treat you today. I wish you a bright future and a successful career."

Take them out to eat delicious food, and as long as she doesn't have to do hard labor, the cost is nothing.

I had a good meal with a few good friends, and I was looking forward to the scene of rising step by step after entering the workplace. Many years later, when all of them were in high positions, they all missed the gathering at this moment...

The eldest grandsons of the two dukes' mansions were transferred away. Although there were some ripples, it had no impact on those high-ranking officials.

But a few days later, news came out that the second master of the Anguo Mansion, Lu Jin and his wife, were going to take their third daughter to find a miracle doctor to treat her leg injury.

When Emperor Qian heard the news, he didn't even raise his eyelids. As long as Duke Anguo was in the mansion, there was nothing worth his concern.

Outside the city gate.

Lu Zhanxing personally sent his parents, third sister and little cousin out of the city.

"Dad, Mom, Third Sister, Cousin, take care on your journey!"

The place they went to this time was Xuzhou. If Yanzhou was poor, the neighboring Xuzhou was completely different. Xuzhou was close to the economically developed Qi State, and the two sides frequently traded with each other. There was also the Lu family army stationed there, and with the deployment made by his brother in advance, it was very safe.

Yanzhou is relatively dangerous, and it is not appropriate for relatives to go there. Let’s wait until my brother develops Yanzhou!

Lu Jin was reluctant to part with his only son. He wanted to show some concern for him, but ended up telling him with disdain: "Be careful here, don't cause trouble, and take good care of your grandfather. If anything happens to your grandfather, I won't forgive you."

I don't know what's wrong with my father, but he insisted on me going to Xuzhou with my daughter to seek medical treatment. I really don't want to leave the prosperous capital. What's more, my nephew has been transferred to Yanzhou, and my father is old. I don't have connections with those officials in the capital. What if something happens to my nephew and he is isolated and helpless?

But he dared not disobey his father's orders, especially asking him to go in person. His father wanted him to find a better miracle doctor and bring him back. Luo was a little girl, and her grandson was so young. Wouldn't he be cheated if he went there?

Thinking about how much his father trusted him, Lu Jin wanted to complete his father's task even more and must not let his father down.

Lu Zhanxing glanced at his father who was completely unaware of the situation and felt a little sympathy in his heart. It would have been fine if his mother and sisters at home didn't know, but his two brothers-in-law knew everything, but his father was the only one who didn't know. How worried must he be about his father!

So she lost her previous rebelliousness and nodded gently: "Got it!"

In fact, I envy my father very much. If this succeeds, my father will be able to rest in peace in the true sense, while I will still have to face some undercurrents in the capital.

"Okay, you must take good care of yourself!" Luo was reluctant and tears began to fall again.

"Mother, don't worry and take my third sister to find the miracle doctor. I will wait for you to come back in the capital."

Luo couldn't help crying. She felt sorry for her third daughter and even more sorry for her youngest daughter. She glanced at her daughter-in-law Su Xianye who was standing beside her and felt a little guilty. Su Xianye had been a widow all her life because of her selfish decision to let her daughter pretend to be a boy.

"Mom, don't worry, your daughter-in-law will take good care of your husband." Su Xianye comforted the kind mother-in-law.

After she married into the Anguo Mansion, her mother-in-law treated her like her own daughter, taught her how to manage the household and etiquette, and cared for her many times. To her, her mother-in-law was like her second mother.

She didn’t know how long it would take her to come back this time, and she felt reluctant to leave.

No matter how reluctant they were, Lu Jin and the others still got on the carriage and were escorted to Xuzhou by the guards.

After Lu Zhanxing brought Su Xianye back home, he said, "Xianye, now is a time of trouble, so we should postpone some banquets if possible."

In the past, Su Xianye often followed Luo to attend banquets. Regardless of her status in the Anguo Mansion or her identity as the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she was the object of flattery by those ladies. But now it is not necessarily the case.

She was afraid that Su Xianye would be ridiculed after attending the banquet, and then she would close her heart and become as crazy as the ending in the book.

"Okay, my husband, don't worry." She knew that the Anguo Mansion was not as good as before, so she obeyed obediently.

However, even though she didn't attend other parties, there were always people who wanted to see her make a fool of herself.

"Madam, the Fourth Prince's wife invites you to a flower viewing banquet."

The new head maid Luzhu handed the invitation to Su Xianye who was counting the accounts.

"Are you so impatient?"

Su Xianye paused slightly while fiddling with the abacus, and felt very disgusted with her sister Su Xianxin.

Knowing that the prince was assigned to work abroad and her parents-in-law were not around, she couldn't wait to humiliate her, but she didn't give Su Xianxin this opportunity.

"Refuse it. I have to take care of my elderly grandfather and I don't have time to attend any banquets."

Her husband said that he was not allowed to attend any banquet without her company, so she naturally had to obey.

When Su Xianxin learned that Su Xianye had rejected her post, she snorted coldly: "You know there's no one to protect you, so you don't even dare to go out?"

She felt extremely jealous when she thought of Su Xianye and all the other ladies surrounding her when she got married. Now, after waiting for the person in charge of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion to leave with great difficulty, there was only an old duke who was about to die and a dandy young man left. As the prince's consort, what did she have to fear?

"If you refuse to come if you invite me again, it means you look down on this prince's wife and even more so, you are disrespecting the royal family."

A cold light flashed in Su Xianxin's eyes. As the prince's consort, she didn't believe that she couldn't invite Su Xianye, who had no status at all.

After Mingxiang left, she touched her slightly bulging belly, and a vicious plan flashed in her eyes.

This time she is determined to bring Su Xianye down to the ground.

When Su Xianye received the invitation again, she frowned slightly, especially because Mingxiang's words made her take it seriously. The prince's wife had invited her again and again, and if she did not agree, it would be a real contempt for the royal family.

In desperation, she could only let Hongmei ask her husband for the decision.

When Lu Zhanxing was in his room considering when to let Emperor Qian stay on his sickbed, Hongmei came to report that the Fourth Prince's wife had forced the Young Madam to attend the plum blossom viewing banquet.

This Su Xianxin is really good at adding insult to injury.

Moreover, she had to admire the heroine. The Fourth Prince was short, so how could he make the heroine pregnant?

Is it the heroine's halo? An iron uterus, or is there another hidden story?

Thinking of the scheming Tan Ling, Lu Zhanxing was suddenly shocked. No way?

But it’s not impossible, it’s really interesting.

Tan Ling is very afraid of death. Even when he sleeps, there are layers of guards around his room, all of whom are top masters. The Fourth Prince trusts him very much.

Bai Jing tried to kill Tan Ling many times but failed.

Although he had the space, he was afraid that as soon as he showed up, he would be killed by his guards hiding in the dark. He could only wait for an opportunity.

Let Emperor Qian live a little longer. His brother needs time to make arrangements, and the princes can fight slowly!

Moreover, the Second Prince cannot be allowed to obtain the position of Crown Prince easily.

"Bai Jing, follow Hong Mei to the Fourth Prince's residence and tell the Fourth Prince's wife that the young lady is here to take care of my grandfather. It is unfilial to hinder the young lady from doing so. If anything happens to my grandfather, it will be that she is indirectly plotting to murder the Duke of Anguo. Then, report her to His Majesty. She is not worthy of being the Fourth Prince's wife. Tell her to behave herself and stop looking for trouble."

Lu Zhanxing said domineeringly that it was just right to use her as an example to scare the monkeys and see who dared to disturb my wife again.

Bai Jing agreed, and Hongmei's eyes lit up, thinking that the young master still had a way.
