Chapter 4 The rest of my life depends on you

"That's right, big brother, we absolutely cannot let them have an easy time. We were caught off guard this time, and if we don't get married, we'll inevitably be criticized.

After all, the Xiangfu did send their daughter here, so we can’t say anything. Besides, our Duke’s Mansion is weak now and cannot afford to make an enemy.”

Then, with a look of pain in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and said, "This time, I will bear the responsibility for you, but you have to protect me from now on! For you and the Duke's Mansion, I have to marry a vulgar and ugly woman and face her for forty years. That means sacrificing a lifetime of happiness. It's so miserable! I will definitely be laughed at by my brothers, so you have to protect me!"

Hearing this, Lu Zhanyan looked at his brother's aggrieved yet sincere eyes and felt touched. He envied this playboy brother for having the love of his parents and the pampering of his three sisters. If it weren't for his grandfather's careful teaching and company, he would probably collapse!

I used to look down on this cousin who only knew how to have fun, but who would have thought that at the critical moment, he was willing to sacrifice his lifelong happiness to help me.

I have wronged him before. My cousin has actually always been very smart. He has always been a playboy, but he just doesn't want to compete with me!

After thinking it through, Lu Zhanyan was even more grateful: "Xingdi, I wrongly blamed you before. Don't worry, we are brothers. From now on, your affairs will be my affairs, and I will never let you down."

"Brother, I know you understand my painstaking efforts. From now on, I will continue to be my playboy and get information from you whenever I need to. You must maintain the reputation of our Duke's Mansion! I will depend on you for the rest of my life, brother." He looked excited, took a step forward and held his cousin's hand tightly.

Although she appears affectionate on the surface, she is actually screaming in her heart, "Wow, your hands are so beautiful and so long!"

Look at this handsome and fair-skinned brother. How can he be like the extreme, gloomy and cruel villain described in the books?

When Lu Zhanyan heard his words, his cold expression suddenly changed. He held his brother's hand tightly and said, "Don't worry, I will never let you down."

The two looked at each other affectionately, with only each other in their eyes!

If you don’t know, you might think it’s a couple looking at each other!

Luo, who was standing by, was so shocked that her eyes twitched. She never expected that her "son" was such an acting genius.

“Ahem… Great, great!” Seeing the two brothers so united and friendly, the old Duke’s anger dissipated, his eyes were full of smiles, and he couldn’t help but applaud: “You are worthy of being the descendants of our Lu family. You two are great.”

Luo looked at the two people shaking hands affectionately. She was really afraid that her son's identity would be exposed, so she hurried forward to break them apart and said, "Okay, okay, I know that you two are so affectionate brothers. Let's go to the wedding hall and get married. It's been an hour and the guests are waiting."

"Yes, yes, yes, Ajin, why don't you go outside to entertain the guests!" The old man finally regained some energy and spoke by shouting.

Lu Jin wanted to resist, but he was also afraid of his father. He moved his lower lip and finally glared at his disappointing son. It was inevitable that he would be laughed at by his colleagues tomorrow.

He angrily swung his sleeves and left. Luo Shi did not dare to persuade him. She could only look at Lu Zhanyan, who was wearing wedding clothes, and said softly, "What are you still standing there for? Take off the wedding clothes and let Xinger wear them."

If she hadn't been convinced by her son about the many benefits of marrying the eldest daughter of the Su family, she wouldn't have wanted her "good eldest son" to get married.

Lu Zhanyan didn't expect that Second Aunt would also be willing to let Xingdi help her.

In the past, he only felt family love from his grandfather, but this time he felt so much warmth.

I was very touched and bowed quickly: "Thank you, Second Aunt!"

Luo bit her lip and said softly, "Just take good care of your brother in the future. I'm going to entertain the female family members, you can go over there by yourselves later!" After that, she left.

The old Duke watched Luo's leaving back and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although this daughter-in-law Luo came from a humble family and was a little petty and not presentable, she was also a person who cared about the overall situation. He had underestimated her before.

Mrs. Luo didn't know that her action had changed the old Duke's impression of her, otherwise he would have been very happy.

Back then, the Luo family was trying to repay a favor and forced this marriage upon her. Otherwise, she was just the daughter of a county magistrate in a remote area, so how could she have the chance to marry into the Duke's Mansion, a wealthy and prominent family?

Lu Zhanyan took off his wedding dress and gave it to Lu Zhanxing, who put it on in front of him calmly. He didn't need to worry about exposing himself. After all, not only did he bind his chest, he also put two iron plates there to ensure that it would be hard even if someone touched it. In addition, he also had a set of white inner clothes on the outside, so it was very safe!

The banquet hall was crowded with guests, naturally all of them were wives of prominent officials.

No matter what, the Anguo Mansion is an old family with great founding achievements. General Lu died in the line of duty for his country, so His Majesty will naturally pay more attention to it.

However, the big red sedan chair had been parked at the gate and no one came out to greet the bride. The bridegrooms in the wedding procession looked at each other in bewilderment.

The matchmaker's face was stiff, and she didn't know what to do.

The auspicious time has long passed, will the marriage still take place?

Everyone knew that Prime Minister Su regretted his decision and sent his first wife's ugly daughter to the Duke of Anguo's Mansion.

These guests were also waiting to see the Duke of Anguo's Mansion make a fool of itself.

At this time, Lu Zhanxing, wearing a bright red wedding dress, with a handsome face and extraordinary elegance, came out surrounded by servants.

Seeing that the guests were watching the show at the door and did not take their seats, he could only say loudly: "Thank you all for coming to attend my wedding. Please follow the housekeeper and maid to the banquet to watch the ceremony. I would like to thank you."

Everyone was in an uproar!

What, isn’t this the second young master of the Duke of Anguo’s Mansion?

"Isn't today the wedding banquet for the eldest young master of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion?"

A guest couldn't help but ask.

"You all have misunderstood. Today is the wedding day of me, Lu Zhanxing, and the eldest daughter of the Xiangfu. Please take your seats."

Some of the guests already knew that Duke Anguo was planning to sacrifice the car to save the king.

This Lu Zhanxing is a famous playboy in the capital. Just today, we heard that he had a fight with the son of Duke Qing over the most beautiful woman.

Who would have thought that today, which was supposed to be the wedding day of the second daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the eldest son of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, turned into the wedding of the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the second son of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion.

Lu Jin and Lu Zhanyan walked out together.

"Thank you all for coming to my son's wedding. Please take your seats!"

Lu Jin gritted his teeth and spoke.

Everyone looked at Lu Zhanyan with complicated eyes. They thought that after today, the talented and handsome Lu Zhanyan would have a stain, but unexpectedly, he escaped it.

I admired in my heart that this was indeed a big family. Even the playboy Second Young Master was willing to sacrifice his own happiness and marry the ugly girl from the Prime Minister's Mansion for the sake of the family.

Some people came to see the joke. Seeing that Master Lu escaped the crisis, they were indignant and couldn't help but said, "Master Lu, the wedding invitation clearly stated that you and the young lady of the Xiangfu were getting married. Why did you change the date at the last minute? But Master Lu is not satisfied with the Xiangfu?"

Lu Zhanyan's heart suddenly sank, but his face remained calm as he said calmly, "Did you see that the names of this young master and the second young lady of the Xiangfu were written on the wedding invitation?"

The man froze and said awkwardly, "Didn't you say that the name of the Xiangfu was pronounced wrong? The marriage you are talking about is the eldest daughter of the Xiangfu!"
