Chapter 19 Marriage in the Fire Pit

"Because of your inferiority complex, I have never returned home for seventeen years. My father is old and my mother is gray-haired. Lu Lang, I have done enough for you." Mrs. Xu hugged Lu Chaochao and pinched her daughter's cheek.

"Besides, Lu Lang, it's not easy for you to get promoted. If you don't ask your elder brother and father, they will definitely help you."

Xu's words made Lu Yuanze look livid in anger.

Lu Yuanze valued the relationship with her natal family, but did not want to lose face. The Xu family always tried to coax him to accept help from the Xu family.

It's really hard to eat soft food.

"How can a man beg for help if he is a tough man? Besides, am I not doing this to earn face for you?" Lu Yuanze suppressed his anger and held Yun Niang's hand with affection on his face.

Mrs. Xu felt uncomfortable all over and pulled her hand away unconsciously.

"My father is the emperor's master, my eldest brother is in the second rank, and I myself have a third rank, Lu Lang. I have no shortage of honor."

"I really don't want you to work too hard."

Xu's words really crushed Lu Yuanze's self-esteem under his feet.

Lu Yuanze was shaking all over.

He felt that Xu had changed.

However, Mr. Xu said that he didn't want you to work hard, and it seemed that nothing would change. She still feels sorry for him and loves him to the core.

Lu Yuanze suppressed his anger: "Mother Yun, I have something to do with the government recently, so I probably need some money. It would be better if there are rare treasures." Xu's dowry was rich, and over the years, he used a lot of private property to supplement Lu Yuanze's anger. Home.

The Lu family's little wealth was extremely shabby.

Even the Lu family's large mansion was renovated after she entered the house.

Mrs. Xu nodded and Dengzhi gave him the key to the warehouse.

"This is the key to the Lu family's treasury." After speaking, he covered his mouth and chuckled: "I won't give you the key to the private treasury. The private treasury is a dowry given by my natal family. Using my natal family's things makes Lu Lang feel sad. Be uncomfortable."

Lu Yuanze's lips moved, but in the end he said nothing.

He wanted Xu's private treasury, but he wanted Xu to beg him to take it instead of asking for it himself.

Lu Yuanze found a reason to leave.

He seemed to be getting more and more out of control.

On the way back to the house, Mrs. Xu saw someone carrying congratulatory gifts and heading towards the Jiang family.

"The daughter-in-law of the Jiang family is getting engaged, so please spread the wedding candy." In front of the door of the Jiang family, candy was sprinkled liberally.

Everyone swarmed forward.

"Oh, is that Miss Jiang who was engaged to the cripple of the Lu family?" someone asked loudly.

The maid brought out a big basket and said with a smile: "Today, the girl has made a good marriage, found a good son-in-law, and made a good marriage with Qin and Jin. Congratulations to my young lady, and you will receive a red envelope." After saying that, she grabbed a large handful of copper coins, and everyone Congratulations immediately began.

"The Lu family is crippled, how can they be worthy of Miss Jiang? It's better to retreat, it's better to retreat." Everyone applauded.

Xu's eyes were red with anger and her chest kept heaving.

"Jiang Yunjin, which young master have you chosen?" Mrs. Xu gritted her teeth.

Even Lu Chaochao opened his eyes.

When Dengzhi came back after asking about it, he looked embarrassed and full of resentment.

"It's... it's Lu... Lu Jinghuai, who was selected as a scholar last month!"

"And...it's still the Marquis who will act as matchmaker himself!"

"Yes, his distant cousin."

Xu was completely exhausted.

"He did it on purpose. He wanted to take away my son's help on purpose!" Xu's nails dug deeply into her flesh.

"He wants to carve out my flesh, and he wants to dig out Yan Shu's heart. He told Yan Shu's wife to his wife!!" This time, Mrs. Xu almost hated him.

He even acted as matchmaker himself.

No wonder I'm short of money recently and need to manage it.

Doesn’t getting engaged require a lot of gold and silver? And all kinds of rare treasures!

What a good person he is, using his legitimate wife’s dowry to support his wife!

Mrs. Xu wiped away her tears: "Where is Lu Wanyi? Her return to Qingxi has been found out." Mrs. Xu was so angry that her expression was a bit cold.

Dengzhi hesitated for a moment.

"explain!"

"My servant, I didn't hear about her return to Qingxi. She...has always been in the capital and has never left the capital."

"And I purchased a lot of things needed for the baby. I also went to the gold shop to buy a set of gold bracelets, gold collars, and safety locks for the baby." Dengzhi looked at her worriedly.

Madam, almost everyone has deserted her.

The entire Lu family was lying to her.

Xu couldn't even cry anymore, and her heart was so painful that she was numb.

The child who held her legs back then, after all...

Failed her.

[Mother, don’t cry...Mother, Chaochao loves you, Chaochao will take you to sleep and win. 】

[Chaochao is awesome. Chaochao is super awesome, okay? ! ] Lu Chaochao pursed his pink lips and shouted at Mrs. Xu. Serious and extremely serious.

Xu pressed her face against Lu Chaochao's face. Fortunately, there was still Chaochao.

[Mom, the new champion loves to beat his wife. There was a wife in the countryside who was beaten to death by him. You tried to dissuade Lu Wanyi in your previous life. Lu Wanyi thought you were jealous of her, and she hated you extremely for this. 】

[Later, she slashed her mother’s face. Wuwuwu...] Xiao Chaochao felt extremely distressed.

Xu still wanted to hear it, but lost it.

I only remember these few sentences closely.

As soon as he returned home, Lu Wanyi came over looking for him.

"Sister-in-law, you...have you inquired clearly?" Lu Wanyi's face turned red. That day, she fell in love with the number one scholar.

Xu Shiping retreated and then said, "Wanyi, are you tempted?"

Lu Wanyi glanced at her sister-in-law shyly: "Sister-in-law!" She stamped her feet.

Xu was out of sight, looking at her indifferently.

I helped you out of a fire pit in your last life, but you scratched my face alive?

Then, get married in this life!

"I inquired that the newly crowned scholar was married to a child bride who was vulgar and illiterate at a young age."

Lu Wanyi frowned slightly.

"But the child bride was not lucky. She died of illness last year. But there are some rumors in the countryside that the number one scholar has a bad temper and always scolds the child bride. I'm afraid Wanyi will suffer. Otherwise, forget it? My sister-in-law doesn't want you to suffer." Mrs. Xu seemed to Not so satisfied.

"There are so many young men in the capital, you can always find one who matches Wanyi."

Lu Wanyi's eyes were bright, and she took Mrs. Xu's hand and shook it again and again: "Sister-in-law, good sister-in-law. A man's temper is called manliness."

"Besides, the child bride has no talent, good looks, no family background, and is even illiterate. She can't win over a man, it's because she has no ability, and she deserves it. When a man hits a woman, she must have made a mistake!"

"Wanyi, you have this ability and this confidence!" Lu Wanyi raised her head slightly. She had a good appearance, how could she be compared to a child bride.

"This woman can't control men. It has never been a man's problem." Lu Wanyi glanced at her and smiled, with a deep smile at the corner of his mouth.

Mrs. Xu gritted her teeth.

"Let's take a look at each other again. A man's talent, love, and official status should not be put first, but his character." Mrs. Xu deliberately went against her.

"No matter what, I'll marry her. I'll go find my mother. If my sister-in-law doesn't agree, my mother will definitely agree!" Lu Wanyi was extremely satisfied with this.

Dang even hurried out of the door and headed towards Deshan Hall.

[Oh, jump into the fire pit. Jump into the fire pit. ] Lu Chaochao was so happy that he drooled.
