If You Can't Be A Son-In-Law, You Have To Become A Saint

Chapter 99: Shen Xiao Bo's Mansion Cannot Be Named

In front of Mrs. Ning, Lu Jing bluntly refused.

Old Madam Ning's expression that had softened suddenly froze.

There was still some confusion on her old face.

She really couldn't figure it out, in this Chunzezhai of Lu Mansion, she said casually, it's just that Lu Jing didn't want to invite that Mr. Zhong Yubai to come to Lu Mansion, as long as she took her words high , It’s okay to put it down gently.

But this Lu Jing directly refused without the slightest hesitation, so that the old Madam Ning, who was given high praise in the Lu Mansion on weekdays, didn't know how to react for a while.

Mrs. Zhong also frowned and was about to reprimand her.

But I heard Lu Jing say: "Mr. Zhong Yubai and I are friends of gentlemen, talk more about worldly affairs, and stay away from the trivialities of this world.

Because of this, Mr. Yu Bai invited me to drink because of the friendship of a gentleman. "

"If the old matriarch had given such orders before my husband became an official, it would be fine for me to invite Mr. Zhong Yubai to come to my house for a gathering, but now that my husband has become an official in the court, the old matriarch wants to be the host to invite him to come in." government.

I naturally know that the old matriarch has no other intentions, but she is just a fan of talents, but when outsiders see it, they may say that I am seeking profit, and that the Lu family wants to take advantage of the power of court officials to do flattery. I am the name of Shen Xiaobo's mansion. "

Lu Jing was standing in the Chunze Zhaitang, speaking these words.

His voice was not loud, but his tone revealed firmness, and there was still some worry in his eyes, as if he was really thinking about the name of Shen Xiaobo Mansion.

Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Zhong were choked by these words and didn't know what to say.

They also vaguely heard something in Lu Jing's words.

But Lu Jing's words happened to be so beautiful that people couldn't point out anything.

In the name of being a gentleman, Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Zhong got angry because of these words, but it turned out that they were villains who smashed their brows and bent their waists to serve the powerful.

Even the corners of Lin Rendong's mouth couldn't help showing a smile, and then quickly restrained himself.

Lu Qiong nodded again and again, clapped his hands and smiled, "Brother Jing is still thoughtful, since we are friends of gentlemen, naturally we can't mix other things."

The others in Chunzezhai also looked at Lu Jing.

I really don't know where Lu Jing got the courage to say such a thing.

Madam Zhou, whose eyes were full of expectation, also took a deep breath and lowered her head.

Madam Ning and Mrs. Zhong were silent for a long time.

Old Madam Ning closed her brows and eyes, as if she was tired.

Mrs. Zhong was annoyed at the insinuation in Lu Jing's words, but she couldn't make a fuss about it because Mrs. Ning had just spoken to take over the late-night drinking.

So she could only wave her sleeves: "Okay, what you said makes sense, if that's the case, please wait for a while."

Lu Jing saluted again, and was about to return to the table to take a seat.

Mrs. Zhong seemed to remember something suddenly, her eyes sparkled, and she said casually: "By the way, Lu Jing...someone reminded me in the past few days that you are going to enter the Nanguo Mansion. Maid girl, since you are going to enter the Duke's mansion, I'm afraid it's not good to bring the maid from the Lu mansion there..."

Mrs. Zhong said a word.

Ning Qiang and Lin Rendong also bowed their heads.

They already knew about this matter, but now Mrs. Zhong mentioned it in front of Chunze Hall to make this matter come true!

Lu Jing also has to face this sneaky trick!

Lu Qiong, who was next to Mrs. Ning, suddenly opened her eyes wide, and a trace of unbearableness flashed in her eyes.

Lu Qiong likes to hang out with those maids the most on weekdays, and she also has a lot of affection.

Under the control of others, he remembered that Lu Jing and Qingyue had been dependent on each other for many years.

It's fine for the government to send Lu Jing to marry, but it would be too cruel to separate Lu Jing and Qing Yue.

He couldn't bear it, so he wanted to plead with Mrs. Zhong.

But at this moment, Mrs. Zhong said earnestly: "Lu Jing, I know that the friendship between you and Qingyue would be very sad if we separated, but after you think about it, Qingyue is outstanding, even if you can take it with you... When she went to the Nanguo Mansion, an outsider like Qingyue would have to suffer a lot of grievances in the Duke's Mansion.

Instead of this, it's better to let her stay in Lu's mansion. When you leave the mansion, I will find a good job for Qingyue in the mansion, so you don't have to worry about it.

Qingyue has served you for many years, and it is your kindness to finally receive such a benefit. "

Many young masters and ladies present, even the dejected Mrs. Zhu couldn't help but feel chills when she heard Mrs. Zhong's words!

Mrs. Zhong's words were watertight, she refused to let Qingyue leave the house with Lu Jing, if Lu Jing was unwilling to stop her, Lu Jing would get a reputation for being ruthless.

Qingyue, who is dependent on Lu Jing, obviously has a better place to go, but because of Lu Jing's selfishness, she has to go to the Nanguo government to suffer...

In just a few words, Lu Jing blocked many retreats and left many excuses for himself.

No matter how Lu Jing reacted, she would fall into Mrs. Zhong's words.

At this moment, Ning Qiang also thought of Qing Yue in the small courtyard, and felt even more sad.

She and Lin Rendong went to the small courtyard many times, and each time she could see that Lu Jing and Qingyue were truly inseparable.

That Qingyue is so outstanding, if she really wants to leave Lu Jing, she just needs to meet the elders of the Lu family, even an unfavorable bastard like Lu Jing won't be able to stop her.

But the two of them came from poverty just like that, never leaving each other.

But now...

Thinking of this, Ning Qiang turned her head to look at Mrs. Zhou in the distance.

At this moment, Mrs. Zhou was gritting her teeth tightly, and her eyes were clearly shining with joy!

They also know that Qingyue is extremely important to Lu Jing.

Because of this importance, it is meaningful to collect debts from Lu Jing this time!

Mrs. Zhong was also looking down at Lu Jing, waiting for Lu Jing to reply.

In fact, she doesn't have much resentment towards the current Lu Jing, but just ignores it.

Ignore Lu Jing's identity.

Ignore Lu Jing's mood.

Ignore what will happen to Lu Jing if Qingyue leaves.

Everything about Lu Jing has nothing to do with her.

Just when many people are thinking.

Lu Jing, who had already turned around, turned back slowly.

At this moment, Lu Jing's complexion was different.

Just now, although Lu Jing's face was calm, there was a flash of expression occasionally.

But on Lu Jing's face who turned around again, there was no expression at all!

He looked up at Mrs. Zhong, looked at Mrs. Zhong carefully for a few moments, and watched Mrs. Zhong frown slightly.

Until then, some smile appeared on Lu Jing's face.

Lu Jing smiled slightly and said: "Originally, I wanted to wait until after the banquet to discuss this matter with the two elders. At this time, my lord mother actually mentioned it, so I don't have to wait until after the banquet."

"This matter is also about Qingyue. I don't know when Princess Chong'an went to see Qingyue. She seems to like Qingyue very much, so she sent that girl from Roushui over to ask me for Qingyue."

Lu Jing looked calm, with a smile on his face all the time: "Although Qingyue has been in my courtyard for many years, her body is still in the hands of her lord mother. .

Princess Chong'an asks for Qingyue...to give or not? "

Lu Jing talked about it!

Many doubts were added to the hearts of the people.

Even Ning Qiang and Lin Rendong don't know if this is true or not.

Old Madam Ning opened her eyes and saw the smile on Lu Jing's face again, she also didn't understand that if the princess asked for Qing Yue, she would naturally leave Lu Jing, why is Lu Jing so happy?

So Mrs. Ning was about to ask.

But outside of Chunzezhai, a young girl came.

The girl's appearance was ordinary, and there was nothing unusual about it.

But when she walked into Chunze Zhai, Old Madam Ning showed some smiles on her face.

Everyone also looked at the young girl, not understanding that this young lady did not drive with the princess to visit today.

She is the Roushui girl next to Princess Chong'an.

Miss Roushui entered Chunze Zhai.

Mrs. Zhong invited her to take a seat. A trace of doubt flashed in Mrs. Ning's eyes, but she said with a smile on her face: "Miss Roushui is here, but the princess has some orders?"

Roushui bowed to the old matriarch, and said respectfully: "Old matriarch, I came here to bother you because of a trivial matter. It's a bit impolite to say it. The princess likes Qingyue in Prince Jing's courtyard very much. Ask for it, Mr. Jing couldn't make up his mind, so he ordered me to come and ask the old matriarch."

When Roushui said this, he paused and said: "It's a trivial matter anyway, if the old matriarch is unwilling, the princess has also said it, don't force it..."

"Forcing? How can it be forcing?" Old Madam Ning smiled, shook her head and said: "The princess has such an invitation, but she never treats my Lu family as an outsider, just a mere maid, how can she let the princess' words fall into the dust? "

While Mrs. Ning was speaking, she glanced lightly at Mrs. Zhong.

Mrs. Zhong hurriedly turned her head and whispered something to her girl, Dongzhu.

Dong Zhu hurried away, and within half a quarter of an hour, he brought a yellowed page in his hand.

On the yellowed paper, there were still seals printed on it, and there were also two or three bright red fingerprints.

"This is Qingyue's body deed, please take it away, Miss Roushui."

Mrs. Zhong walked down the jade platform herself with a smile, and handed the deed to Miss Roushui.

Old Madam Ning was also smiling all over her face at this time, the smiles on their faces were not fake.

The reason why they wanted to keep Qingyue in the Lu Mansion was because of Qingyue's outstanding looks, and they thought it would be useful in the future.

Today the concubine asked for Qingyue, and gave this Qingyue to the concubine, and used her to please the concubine, this maid was doing her best.

How could the two of them be unhappy?

And more importantly, in this way, Mrs. Zhong will also save Mrs. Zhu's face!

Mrs. Zhou, who had been staring at this scene all the time, also let out a sigh of relief, and there seemed to be joy in her eyes.

As long as Qingyue leaves Lu Jing and makes Lu Jing truly a loner, who does Qingyue follow?

There were also people like Lu Qiong and Ning Qiang, who couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

The concubine likes Qingyue... Although this result is better than leaving Qingyue in this ruthless Lu mansion, Lu Jing is also about to be separated from Qingyue...

Just when everyone looked different.

The Roushui girl also saluted and thanked, then looked at Lu Jing beside her, and said with a smile: "In that case, I will take Mr. Jing to see that girl Qingyue together."

Mrs. Ning had nothing to do, and said with a smile: "What's the big deal? Lu Jing, you go back quickly and help Qingyue pack her bags."

Roushui smiled: "It's not necessary."

Lu Jing and Roushui walked out of Chunze Zhai in this way.

Everyone watched them leave, the two had just stepped out of the threshold, and hadn't taken a few steps...

Roushui suddenly handed the body deed to Lu Jing, saying: "Mr. Jing, the princess told me that the body deed of Miss Qingyue will belong to Mr. Jing from now on."

Lu Jing took the deed from Roushui with a smile, and said casually, "Miss Roushui, please thank me for me."

"Why do you need to thank? Mr. Jing has helped a lot. Today is just a trivial matter, so it is not worth asking Mr. Jing to thank you."

The two walked farther and farther.

There was silence in Chunzezhai.
