Chapter 17 Returning Home on the 3rd Day

Lu Zhanxing knew that her cousin was testing her, but she didn't care. As long as Lu Zhanyan could keep the Anguo Mansion and let her be a playboy forever, that would be enough.

Now, knowing that the Black Dragon Order was not taken away by the Fourth Prince, she was still very happy.

The next day.

Today is the day Su Xianye returns home.

Two days after their marriage, there was no movement in the Prime Minister's Mansion. No one knew what the Prime Minister's Mansion's attitude was and could only wait and see.

Prime Minister's Mansion

"Master, I think that girl will not come back, right?" A graceful and elegant lady sat on one side, with a look of deep disdain in her eyes.

On the wedding day, her four carefully selected maids were sent back, and they were beaten. This was a slap in her face. How could she be nice to this new son-in-law now?

What's more, Lu Zhanxing is just a playboy who spends his days chasing after women. What qualifications does he have to deserve my kindness?

If it was Lu Zhanyan, she would still pretend, but who was Lu Zhanxing?

Su Chongwen glanced at her calmly and said, "Be more restrained. Don't embarrass the new son-in-law without my permission."

He may have looked down on Lu Zhanxing in the past, but after Censor Chen was dismissed from his post, he felt that he might have misjudged him.

Besides, isn't it said that Lu Zhanxing is a playboy? Is he a playboy?

He was indifferent to the beauty of the four maids who came with the dowry. Is such a person really a playboy?

Perhaps, this was just his appearance, so he chose today, his day off, to meet this notorious playboy.

In addition, the eldest daughter has indeed had a hard life in recent years, and her face is disfigured. Marrying into the Anguo Mansion is already the best outcome for her. Even if she is not favored, she will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life, which is worthy of the original wife's sacrifice.

Although Su Chongwen felt guilty towards his eldest daughter, it was not much.

For him, as long as he has power, what kind of wealth and what kind of women can't he have?

He knew clearly that without power, he was nothing.

Therefore, he only loves power and is not keen on marriage. In addition, his father-in-law was once the Minister of Personnel and has extensive connections, so he created a persona of a loving wife.

He asked his father-in-law to give all his connections to him when he resigned, which gave him the opportunity to hold a high position.

Seeing that the master valued the dandy second young master, Zhao said in dissatisfaction, "Why? Are you worried about your eldest daughter?"

The master's original wife has always been a thorn in her heart. If the master had not taken a concubine in all these years, she would not have blamed him even if she had no children. But she felt better because the master only doted on his youngest daughter.

But now that Su Xianye is married, the master actually starts to pay attention to her?

Su Chongwen looked at her coldly: "The Lu family is useful to me. If you still want Xin'er to go further, shut up."

He is no longer the humble second place winner, but the prime minister of the dynasty. His power is so great that even the Zhao family of that time could not compare to him.

If Zhao dared to ruin his plans, he would not forgive her.

Hearing this, Zhao moved her lips but didn't say anything else.

She understood what the master meant. Her youngest daughter was already in love with the Fourth Prince. If she wanted to support the Fourth Prince who had no foundation, she had to win over more officials.

Although Su Xianye married the Second Young Master Lu, it was a marriage of arrangement after all, and it would be beneficial to her daughter in the future.

Su Chongwen added: "Be nicer to Xianye. The Duke of Anguo's Mansion has hundreds of years of heritage, and it can't be destroyed just like that."

The Lu family has military generals for generations, and there are countless old subordinates. He needs these forces.

This is also why he would rather marry his daughter than refuse this marriage.

He calculated that the old Duke needed someone to protect Lu Zhanyan's growth, so he exchanged his daughter without fear.

Although things had their ups and downs, fortunately the two families have already married.

Especially since Lu Zhanxing is likely to be a very talented son-in-law, he is not too bad.

"Master, Madam, the son-in-law and the eldest daughter are back home!"

The servant came to report.

"Invite them in!"

Outside the prime minister's residence, Lu Zhanxing helped Su Xianye get off the carriage, and then walked into the prime minister's residence surrounded by maids and servants.

"The son-in-law Lu Zhanxing greets his father-in-law and mother-in-law!" Lu Zhanxing bowed and greeted them.

"Xianye meets father and mother!"

Su Chongwen nodded slightly: "No need to be polite."

Zhao looked at Su Xianye, whom she had always disliked, and saw that she was dressed luxuriously, with a unique hairstyle that concealed the scars on her face. She stood there gracefully, without a trace of timidity, and looked extremely beautiful.

But after three days of marriage, she was like a completely different person.

Afterwards, the four of them sat down and greeted each other. Prime Minister Su asked about the Duke's health, and Lu Zhanxing responded one by one.

No one mentioned the matter of substitutionary marriage or replacement marriage, but everyone knew it.

"Dad, Mom, I heard that my eldest sister is coming back today. Are they back?"

A charming voice like a bird's cry, which made people numb to the bones, was heard.

Then, in the scattered sunlight outside the door, a bright and beautiful girl appeared. She was dressed in pink and walked in gracefully from the light.

She has a tall and small nose, rosy and plump lips, and innocent almond-shaped eyes that are bright and beautiful on her small face. She is pure and beautiful, which easily makes people like her.

But Lu Zhanxing could feel that Su Xianye's body beside him suddenly tensed up.

"How can you be so impulsive? Your sister and brother-in-law are here, and you don't even show your respect?" Su Chongwen scolded.

Su Xianxin pouted her lips, her movements were pure and seductive, she looked at Lu Zhanxing with her beautiful eyes, and said in a soft voice: "Xin'er meets brother-in-law, sister."

After she finished speaking, she immediately opened her big eyes and looked at her handsome brother-in-law: "Wow, brother-in-law, it turns out that you are also so handsome, even more handsome than Brother Lu."

If others saw a pretty girl staring at them with such eyes, they would definitely fall for her.

But Lu Zhanxing is not like that. She knows very well that the kind-looking and pretty girl in front of her is the heroine. Even if she is portrayed as kind and beautiful in the book, she will not like her, especially the bitch who abandoned her elder brother.

She raised a distant smile: "Thank you for the compliment, Second Miss."

Ok?

Su Xianxin was stunned. Just like that?

Shouldn't he also praise himself and annoy that annoying older sister?

Su Chongwen saw that Lu Zhanxing didn't seem to want to deal with his youngest daughter, but when he thought about it, it made sense. How could his youngest daughter be in a good mood when she broke off the engagement with his eldest brother?

So he said, "You two mothers, please have some private conversation. I will take Zhanxing to the study to talk."

Lu Zhanxing said to Zhao: "I hope my mother-in-law will take good care of Xianye. She has lived on the farm for many years and may be a little shy. If I do something wrong, I hope you will bear with me."

Zhao's mother and daughter were stunned. Are they going to protect each other already?

Su Xianxin was even more secretly resentful. Why? How could this ugly girl be loved by men?

Is Lu Zhanxing blind?

Su Xianye smiled softly: "Don't worry, my husband. Mother and sister have always treated me very well and will not embarrass me."

Seeing the shocked expressions of the mother and daughter, she felt very happy.

Afterwards, Lu Zhanxing followed Su Chongwen to the study.

After they sat down, Su Chongwen looked at her inquiringly, stroking his beard and said, "As expected, the Anguo Mansion does not produce mediocre people. Zhan Xing is not inferior to Master Lu at all."

Lu Zhanxing knew Prime Minister Su’s purpose and wanted to test her bottom line?

Think beautiful!
