Chapter 74 074

Although the old lady Lu tried her best to save her, the two families still parted in a bad mood. In front of the Anguo Temple, she looked at the carriage from the Duke of Wei's mansion and left. The old lady Lu was not very worried. Which granddaughter to marry must be considered and discussed by the Guo family. Even if the last one was not found and the marriage was ruined, the grandson did not make any mistakes. Guo Boyan could not take his anger on his grandson.

"Grandmother, Guo family, will you agree?" Lu Zhen looked at the carriage reluctantly, and the bright smiling face of the third girl was still in front of him.

Old Mrs. Lu looked at her tall and burly grandson and smiled and said, "I don't know what the grandma is thinking, but that third girl seems to be interested in you." Her grandson was born with divine power and one day she would become a famous general hero like Bai Qi and Li Guang who will be remembered forever.

After hearing this, Lu Zhen couldn't help but feel happy.

There was a silence in the carriage in the Duke of Wei's Mansion, and only the sound of horse hooves were heard, rumbling with the wheels.

Song Jianing sat on the side chair to the right of the lady, sitting dignifiedly, with a pair of fair and delicate little hands folded on her legs, lowered her head slightly, and her thick and slender eyelashes covered her moist and clear almond eyes. She lowered her eyes and saw that Yun Fang opposite him didn't say anything, she moved her feet from time to time, and her hands repeatedly clenched the handkerchief, as if she was feeling uneasy.

Song Jianing withdrew her gaze and couldn't even guess Yunfang's thoughts at this moment. She only knew that she and Luzhen were destined to be unable to be married. Perhaps Luzhen gave her to save Yunfang because she recognized the wrong person, but after the matter was clarified, Luzhen said in person that he liked Yunfang and admitted that he did not like her.

The eyes became blurred again. Song Jianing turned his head and raised a curtain to pretend to look at the scene outside. She tried hard to hold back her tears, but the sourness in her heart surged up like a tide. Her mother praised her as the most popular girl in the world. Song Jianing knew that she was not that good, but she knew that she was good-looking. She never expected that the honest man who was satisfied with everywhere would look down on her.

Is it because of her face or her life experience?

The autumn was shining, but Song Jianing couldn't see any light. Wherever his eyes fell, there was gray everywhere.

Yun Fang saw the fourth sister secretly wiped her tears. Lu Zhen was the son-in-law selected by the eldest uncle for the fourth sister. Lu Zhen did not like the fourth sister, so the fourth sister must be very sad. She was sad for the fourth sister and was worried that the eldest uncle would marry Lu Zhen because the fourth sister opposed her. But what was wrong with Lu Zhen? You can't force him to marry a girl he doesn't like.

Recalling the anxious and worried expression when Lu Zhen hugged her in Shuizhong, Yun Fang lowered her head and rubbed the veil irritably.

With a bitter and a worry, the lady watched the two granddaughters calmly, and was in a very heavy mood. One Lu Town was nothing, but the relationship between the two sisters probably could never return to the original. Jianing was sensitive and had a timid personality when he entered the mansion at the age of ten. He finally got over it. Now, even if the granddaughter was still as dignified as a lady from a wealthy family, he would probably always remember that she was despised by men. As for the third granddaughter Yun Fang...

The lady rubbed her forehead and didn't think about it for the time being.

The carriage returned to the Duke's Mansion.

Lin received the news and took her son nervously to greet her. When she arrived at the front yard, she noticed something was wrong with her daughter. She changed her clothes and her face was pale and there was no trace of blood. She lowered her eyes and refused to look at her. Lin's heart suddenly rose. Just as she was about to ask, the lady said tiredly: "Take An An back to her room first. Bo Yan is back. You two go to see me together."

After saying that, he led Yun Fang away.

As soon as the two left, Song Jianing threw herself into her mother's arms and started crying, crying with tears. Lin was startled. Before she could react, Mao Ge'er next to her saw her sister crying, and he cried out too. The little boy hugged her sister's legs and was scared because her sister cried.

Song Jianing was frightened by his younger brother, so scared that she held back her tears. She squatted down to coax her younger brother. Knowing that it was not appropriate to speak outside, she picked up her younger brother and walked into the house with her mother. As soon as she entered Huanyueju, Song Jianing sat on her lap with her ignorant brother, and then buried her on her mother's shoulder, and even swallowed the story of what happened in the temple: "...Mom, he doesn't like me..."

Lin gritted his teeth secretly.

She knew that her daughter cried because she was not because of how deep the relationship she had with Lu Zhen, but because of the girl's thin face, the girl's family was at work. Another layer was that her daughter's embarrassing identity was hit by Lu Zhen all at once. So Lin hated her even more, hating Lu Zhen for not knowing her knowledge, and even took her anger on Yun Fang.

The grandma took Yun Fang with her, and she felt it was inappropriate, but she was confident that her daughter's appearance and temperament were not inferior to Yun Fang. In addition, the grandma all agreed, so she didn't say anything. Who would have thought that when Lu Zhen, who was honest and compatible with her daughter, actually liked a girl like Yun Fang?

"Don't cry An'an. I heard from my mother that this is a good thing. Lu Zhen likes your third sister, which means that he is not in love with you. Without your third sister, there will be other girls who will touch him in the future. Now I see him clearly in advance. Let's just want him. I will choose a more suitable one for you... What's the use of being a man with great strength? He is so stupid that even a girl who looks at him can admit his mistake. He is like a elm-wood head, and he is not worthy of our An' at all."

Kissing his daughter's head, Lin's older and younger ones hugged her together, and kept comforting her softly.

Song Jianing nodded with a sob.

Finally, I coaxed my daughter to fall asleep. Looking at my son who was sleeping with my sister, the Lin brothers and sisters touched their heads gently and asked Shuang'er to serve her well. She went to the main hall. Qiuyue had just been called out by the little maid. When she came back, she saw her wife sitting in the main seat with a tense face. Qiuyue pulled the sash and walked over, whispering: "Madam, the Lu family asked someone to go to the third room to propose marriage..."

While talking, Qiuyue looked at his wife nervously, and then saw the lady who was usually as beautiful and elegant as a fairy. She snorted for the first time, and a hint of hostility appeared in her eyes. Qiuyue was not afraid of her wife, but carefully pondered about today's affairs. Qiuyue hesitated and said: "Madam, Mr. Lu hugged the third girl in public. Lord Lu's official title is not as good as our Duke's Mansion. They are now proposing marriage to please the third room..."

Lin looked up at her.

Qiuyue pursed her lips and said tentatively: "Madam, the Lu family is asking for marriage to the fourth girl, but I don't know about this outside..."

"Who doesn't know?" Lin interrupted his maid coldly and sneered: "Who do you know about the maids and mothers of the Lu family who were entrusted by the old lady Lu to inquire about our words, and the slaves from the Duke's mansion? They dare not say in front of us that it had been spread behind our backs. Mrs. Ruo San agreed to the Lu family's proposal and stepped on my daughter's face to the ground."

Qiuyue was immediately silent and dared not make any more suggestions.

Caiwei said worriedly: "What should we do?"

Lin looked out the door and she had a solution, but she had to see what Guo Boyan planned to do. One was his niece and the other was his stepdaughter who had no blood relationship. If Guo Boyan was partial to the third wife...

Lin didn't want to think badly about Guo Boyan, but she still had to prepare what she should prepare. When Song Jianing woke up, Lin asked her daughter to take her younger brother to the daughter's yard, and then she lay alone on the bed. Guo Boyan had actually received a letter from the company, but she couldn't leave if there was something to do. As soon as the matter was settled, he went home early and stepped into the inner room with a calm face. Before he could see his wife, he heard a whimpering sob from the account.

Guo Boyan's face looked even worse. He knew that the mother and her wife would probably cry after being so wronged.

Sitting on the bed, Guo Boyan directly carried his wife who was crying and crying.

"Dude, the Lu family is too bullying..." Lin leaned on his chest and burst into tears.

"Don't worry, I'm not dead yet." Guo Boyan held Lin's shoulder tightly and said in a cold voice. Lin raised his head with tears in his eyes. Before he could see the figure clearly, Guo Boyan had already put her down and had not changed his official uniform, so he went directly to Changxinyuan.

Here, Mr. Guo San, the third wife, has arrived early, and Guo Xiao is here, waiting for Guo Boyan with the wife.

"Brother is back." Seeing the elder brother with a blue face, Mr. Guo, who was over thirty years old, trembled and said with a tough forehead.

Guo Boyan ignored him, turned around and sat on the side of the lady, and his sharp eyes fell directly on his son: "I asked you to escort your sister, this is how you escort it?"

Guo Xiao immediately knelt down and bowed his head to apologize: "Please punish my father."

Guo Boyan had a blank expression on his face: "Go to the ancestral hall to kneel for an hour."

"Yes." Guo Xiao left without saying a word.

The grandmother glanced at her grandson and said nothing.

Guo Boyan then asked his younger brother: "What do you say when the Lu family asks to marry Yunfang?"

Mr. Guo was cowardly. Although the third wife was afraid of the majesty of her uncle, she knew that the eldest son would not say harsh words to her, so she walked to the grandma and looked at Mr. Guo and said, "Brother, Lu Zhen is the son-in-law you selected for Jianing. Today's matter is a misunderstanding. If you want me to tell me, let Jianing continue to discuss marriage with him."

How could her good daughter marry a stupid man with brute force? Her daughter is young and ignorant, and she is easily moved by being rescued and hugged by someone, but she is not confused. So many famous families are waiting for her that she looks down on a mere Lu Town. As for her reputation, her daughter accidentally fell into the water. Lu Town disregarded Song Jianing's intention to save her daughter, which only means that her daughter is good, and it will not affect anything if it is spread. At most, she laughed at Song Jianing for being incompetent and Lu Town's delusions.

When Guo Boyan heard that his younger brother and sister had no intention of marrying his niece to Lu Zhen, he looked a little slow and said, "Lu Zhen is stupid. He is not worthy of any girl in the Guo family. Since his younger brother and sister don't like him, he will refuse directly. In the future, everyone from the Lu family will be rejected."

The lady nodded slowly.

The third lady was stunned and asked subconsciously: "Jianning doesn't allow him anymore? Then, what reason should we use to reject the Lu family?"

Luzhen asked for a daughter, but she refused to agree. Luzhen and Song Jianing became a success. That was because Song Jianing compromised and his daughter had no loss of reputation. But Luzhen and Song Jianing failed. If the matter spread, the daughter might become the culprit of the marriage. Even if her daughter fell into the water, she would be maliciously misinterpreted.

Guo Boyan said lightly: "He recognized the wrong person because he was disrespectful to the Guo girl, which was enough to refuse marriage."

The third lady was anxious: "It's a matter of falling into the water..."

"It is pure accident that falls into the water. Even if there are some gossip, my brother and sister don't have to take it seriously." After saying this, Guo Boyan ignored the third wife and directly ordered his younger brother: "Yun Fang is a rash person. When we were a child, we could indulge her. Now that she has grown up, continuing to indulge will only harm her. Before, Lord Huang, the Minister of Works, asked for Yun Fang to marry him for his eldest son. I have seen Huang Zhensheng, and he is calm and has a moderate approach. Just him, settle down earlier and calm Yun Fang's heart as soon as possible."

"Okay, I think Zhen also has a good baby." Mr. Guo San whispered.

The third wife was unwilling. Lord Huang was famous for being honest as an official. He was just honest, but he was also in charge of the east and west. Many officials in the capital didn't like him. When his daughter got married, she was not happy inside and outside. She wanted to argue with reason, but Guo Boyan disdained to say more to a woman and helped the grandma into it.

Mr. Guo tugged his wife away tactfully, for fear that his wife would anger his brother, so he even covered his mouth.

When the couple returned to the third room to quarrel, Manager Qian, who was beside Guo Boyan, personally went to the Lu family and scolded Lu Zhen in front of the old lady Lu. Finally, he said: "The Duke of China said that if the marriage fails, it means that the second son has no chance of being a fourth girl. He looks down on the second son as a son-in-law, but as long as the second son makes contributions in the future, the Duke of China will not bury the second son because of today's affairs. The Duke of China has always been a fair person. I hope the second son will be diligent and responsible, so as not to let down the Duke of China's hard work."

Lu Zhen looked dull. Can't he marry the third girl?

Old Lady Lu's face was ashamed. Guo Boyan said it nicely, but in fact he was threatening them. If the two families agreed to marry, one of them must have fallen wrong. Can Guo Boyan bear the blame for her daughter? It is obvious that she wants her grandson to take the blame. If the Lu family dares to argue, the grandson's career will only be stopped as a small guard.

But who made Guo Bo speak out loud, or was his grandson’s immediate official?

The old lady Lu could only force her to smile and agreed, and then sent someone to pay attention to the rumors in the capital. After two days, she finally heard the sound and did not add fuel to the fire. She only told Guo and Lu families that they discussed their marriage. The two girls were accidentally knocked into the water by the boatman's son. The grandson panicked and saved the wrong person, leaving a complete "stupid".

A man is talented and beautiful, and a man is ridiculed as stupid. What is the difference between a woman being slandered as "ugly"?

Old Mrs. Lu was so sad that she didn't have a good meal for several days.
