Chapter 9: Perfunctory Gold Finger

The two chatted until very late. Su Xianye felt a little relieved and drank a little more. She was already drunk. It was Lu Zhanxing who carried her to the bed. Fortunately, the original owner had practiced martial arts. Although her skills were only mediocre, she still had some strength.

He covered Su Xianye with a quilt, took off his coat and lay down on the bed.

After closing my eyes, my consciousness dived into my mind and entered a vast white space.

Yes, she had a golden finger, which was the space she discovered after being carried back to the mansion. However, this space was just white, as if she was standing in a white fog, with no visible boundaries and nothing else.

Its only use is to store things.

Plus I'm busy with my marriage, so I finally have time to study this empty space.

Oh my God, can you please give me a spiritual spring or something?

What the hell kind of space is this?

It was all white and I couldn't see anything clearly. The stored items thrown in were covered by the white mist and would only appear in my hands when I needed them.

Although it is very convenient, why can’t we even plant crops on the land?

Lu Zhanxing sighed. As expected, he died suddenly and the golden finger given by God was so perfunctory.

I tried to bring the sleeping Su Xianye into the space, but found that she was indifferent.

Sure enough, no one except himself could enter.

Forget it, although this golden finger is a bit perfunctory, it is better than nothing!

After Lu Zhanxing figured it out, he closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Little did he know that his behavior at the banquet today made it impossible for the grandparents and grandchildren in the front yard to fall asleep.

Moyuntang

Inside the room, the old Duke fell into deep thought after listening to his eldest grandson talking about his younger grandson's performance today.

Then he sighed quietly: "Grandfather had wronged him before."

Upon hearing what Lu Zhanxing did at the banquet, the old Duke was shocked. What kind of person could know every move of these officials?

That only means that Lu Zhanxing is not stupid. His purpose of being a playboy is to conceal his true identity, but he has collected so much information in secret.

It can be seen that Lu Zhanxing is not much worse than his eldest grandson Lu Zhanyan.

Lu Zhanyan also nodded in agreement and said with a wry smile, "Yes, I should have guessed long ago that everything that Brother Xing did over the years was just to cover up his tracks! I used to be so self-righteous and looked down on him. I was so wrong."

"Don't even mention you. Grandfather, who has more experience than you, also made a mistake. Grandfather trusted the royal family too much and thought that he could rest easy because the Lu family had contributed to the country. Little did he know that the royal family had long been dissatisfied with the Anguo Mansion."

"Your father was loyal to the court, but he still met with an unexpected disaster. Grandfather saw through everything, and he knew how to pretend to be a playboy to let the royal family let down their guard and act in secret. But we, the two of us, are so high-profile..."

One is planning to form a marriage alliance with the powerful Prime Minister's Mansion with great fanfare.

A newly crowned number one scholar who was praised by everyone for having won three first places in the imperial examination.

If a promising official really married into the Prime Minister's Mansion, how could the royal family not be wary?

The old Duke wondered if the Fourth Prince's sudden favor might be a scheme by the old Emperor.

The purpose is to destroy the marriage between the Su and Lu families?

As long as Prime Minister Su could see the potential of the Fourth Prince, who would marry their daughter to a Duke's Mansion that was about to close?

Now that the Prime Minister's Mansion is powerful, it is not impossible for it to support the Fourth Prince?

As a result, the relationship between the Su and Lu families was completely broken and they had to stand on opposite sides.

If he really couldn't hold on, he might die. Changsun had to keep up appearances, but he had a wife who was not presentable enough for the Duke, and would only become a laughing stock. In addition, the prime minister and the emperor suppressed him. The thought of it made him feel terrified.

The more the old Duke thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and he exclaimed: "As expected of an emperor, this is great!"

Lu Zhanyan's cold eyes flickered, and he also thought of this. If Xingdi had not stepped forward to resolve his crisis this time, he would probably have done what the person above wanted.

Also, my father acted cautiously, so how could he be so greedy and reckless that he accidentally fell into the enemy camp and was killed?

These are all the words of the person above. I have just made my mark, but I am being targeted like this. It shows how narrow-minded the person above is.

In Lu Zhanyan's heart, the royal family and the Su family have already been blacklisted.

Sooner or later, he will be able to cover the world with one hand.

At this moment, the seed of "ambition" was planted in his heart.

“Grandfather, both that person and the Su family have already stood on the opposite side of us. Because our Anguo Mansion has always been loyal to the royal family and has never been willing to form cliques, it has become unique.

If that person is a benevolent monarch, it would be fine, but now, we can't be so passive anymore. My grandson needs to find a relative who can compete with the Su family."

The old Duke nodded repeatedly. Their Lu family had never thought of rebelling, and in order to reassure the royal family, they had always been a lone minister.

The previous monarchs were fine, but this monarch is sensitive and suspicious. He is afraid that others will become too successful and threaten his throne. He is narrow-minded. Only by changing the monarch can the Anguo Mansion be saved.

He was glad that his eldest grandson put marriage behind family: "Do you think there is any other family in the capital that is suitable to be our in-laws?"

The in-law in the Prime Minister's Mansion has been abolished. Although they have become relatives, it is no different from being enemies.

It can only maintain superficial peace.

Their Duke's Mansion is not like other mansions where they can marry many women and attract many in-laws. In order to reassure the king, their ancestors set a rule that a man can take a concubine only if he is childless after the age of 40. This also leads to the Duke's Mansion having few offspring, so if they want to marry into an alliance, they need to be careful in their selection.

He suddenly felt a little regretful. The three girls from the second house should not have married down. Otherwise, they could have won over three good in-laws. But it was too late.

Lu Zhanyan pondered for a moment and said, "Gu Qianxue, the eldest daughter of the Marquis Zhongyi's mansion."

The old Duke's eyes lit up, and then he nodded slightly: "Although the family is not as well-off as the Duke's Mansion, the Marquis Zhongyi has 300,000 soldiers in his hands, which is also a good help."

After the two grandparents and grandson determined the schedule for proposing marriage.

Then he talked about Lu Zhanxing: "Grandfather, since Brother Xing has joined the game, we might as well invite him to talk with us in the future. Maybe he has some good ideas."

In the past, they thought that Lu Zhanxing was just an ordinary playboy, so they never thought of discussing anything with him. As long as he didn't cause trouble everywhere, it would be good enough.

But since we already know that everything he does is just a cover-up, it would be better to have one more person to discuss things with.

"Okay, it's hard for that child, you have to remember this kindness."

After all, this child will have to face Miss Su for the rest of his life, which means he is really sacrificing his lifetime happiness.

He thought that after he was gone, his eldest grandson would be unable to cope with those people with ill intentions alone. Now that he knew that he had another grandson who was also a genius, how could he not be surprised?

From now on, the two brothers will work together to support the Duke's Mansion and will never let it be exposed.

As for his son Lu Jin, he never counted on him.

"Don't worry, Grandfather. I will never let down your sacrifice."

But his grandfather's conversation had no effect on Lu Zhanxing who was sleeping soundly.

The candle burned out and the sky became bright.
