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

Chapter 98 Lu Jing refuses to accept the old lady's request

The air-conditioning brought by yesterday's rain has not completely dissipated.

Even though the sun was still hanging in the sky, it still couldn't hide the chill.

And accompanied by the air-conditioning, there are many fresh air.

Lu Jingxing walked in Lu's residence, and under the Daxue Mountain Zhenxuan breathing method, she only felt that the breath in her chest was much more comfortable.

The clear stream flows over Bishantou, the empty water is clear and fresh, and the color of autumn is the same.

After the autumn rain, the scenery of the many gardens in Lu Mansion became much more beautiful.

Especially before Chunzezhai, many precious autumn green plants are more emerald green, and a clear stream with rockery and small bridges looks even more beautiful.

But Lu Jing was not interested in watching the scenery.

When he entered Chunze Zhai, he found that his case was still lined up in front of the door, and the note on the case did not say "The Third Master of the Lu Mansion" this time.

Instead, it is just the four characters "Dafu Lu Jing".

Lu Jing naturally didn't care about these.

When he took his seat, picked up the cup on the table, and took a sip of the tea, many people's eyes had already fallen on him.

At this time, many young masters and young ladies have already arrived, and Mrs. Ning is the host, but they dare not come late, lest they will be taught a lesson by their elders.

Lu Qiong, Lu Yi... even Lin Rendong, who is not a child of the Lu family, sat beside Ning Qiang and nodded towards Lu Jing from a distance.

Today, when I came to meet the elders, Lin Rendong's silver-white long hair was tied up in a bun, neatly arranged, and her girlish air was reduced, so it also had a little more charm.

Lu Jing also nodded towards them from afar, his face as calm as ever.

Besides these many people, Lu Jing sensed a lifeless gaze looking at him from afar.

Lu Jing's face remained unchanged, and she didn't even look at where her eyes came from.

He had already seen the owner of this gaze when he entered the door.

There are many people in the Lu Mansion who hate him and dislike him, but most of these people don't want to pay attention to him, just thinking that he doesn't exist.

Only Mrs. Zhou, Lu Jiang's biological mother, would hate him so much.

Lu Jiang's biological mother was sitting on the seat not far below the main seat opposite, and at this moment, her eyes were all on Lu Jing.

This Madam of the Lu Mansion, who usually attaches great importance to dressing and decoration, has no makeup on her face at this time, and there are many bloodshot eyes clearly appearing in her eyes.

There is no trace of blood on the pale face, which looks quite scary.

Like a ghost, she stared at Lu Jing from a distance.

Many young masters and ladies present also noticed the strangeness of Mrs. Zhou, and some timid ones didn't even dare to look at Mrs. Zhou.

But Lu Jing, who was enduring such resentful gazes, didn't change his face, still tasting the fruit on the table, and drinking a sip of green tea from time to time, as if he didn't care.

For Mrs. Zhou, the resentment in Lu Jing's heart almost overflowed due to Lu Jing's actions.

When she remembered that her son was still lying on the bed at this moment, he could only stare at the beam with his eyes open, but couldn't speak, let alone lift a finger, her heart became even more annoyed.

Lu Jiang is her heaven, and also her support in the future.

Lu Chongshan didn't have any nostalgia for the Lu family, and the only one he loved was Lu Yi.

In this wealthy compound, if she had no heirs, how would she survive as a concubine when she was old?

Lu Jing beat Lu Jiang to death, in fact, he completely cut off Mrs. Zhou's thoughts. How could she not resent Lu Jing?

In fact, it is not only Lu Jing that Mrs. Zhou resents.

He also resented Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Zhong who suppressed this matter due to many reasons such as Princess Chong'an and the Nanguo government.

Lu Jing committed a murder in the Lu residence, but he did not get the punishment he deserved. Madam Ning and Mrs. Zhong did not have the slightest sympathy for Lu Jiang, who was of the blood of the second residence.

What they see in their eyes is only what they think is their own interests.

They didn't dare to lose face in front of Princess Chong'an, and they didn't dare to punish Lu Jing severely, because Lu Jing was the key to the last deal.

It's just that in the mainland, Mrs. Zhou dare not take revenge on Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Zhong, and the only one who can think about it is a bastard like Lu Jing.

Because of this, Mrs. Zhou has endured for many days...until today!

Many thoughts were disturbing like this, circling in Mrs. Zhou's mind.

Time passed moment by moment.

It was not until noon that Mrs. Ning, Mrs. Zhong, and Mrs. Zhu came out of the fasting room.

Madam Ning looked a little sad, Mrs. Zhu had cried once, her eyes were red, only Mrs. Zhong of Dafu was still so graceful and dignified.

Three people are seated.

Mrs. Ning sighed, waved her hands and said, "Hurry up and start the banquet! The two masters of this banquet have already left the mansion, so what's the point of the farewell banquet?"

Hearing Old Madam Ning's words, the eyes of many young masters and ladies in Chunze Zhai were a little strange.

Only then did they know that Lu Chongshan and Lu Feng had left the mansion at some point, and there was curiosity and bewilderment in their eyes, but there was no reluctance or worry.

Only Lu Yi, with her head lowered, looked carefully at the jade pattern on the table, wondering what she was thinking.

The two righteous masters left, and many meals for the banquet had already been prepared, so the banquet was still held.

Mrs. Ning seems to be reluctant to leave Lu Chongshan, sighing again and again, probably thinking that it is a sad thing that she is old and has no son to serve her.

Lu Qiong sat next to her, obediently serving the old Madam Ning with food.

Seeing how sympathetic Lu Qiong was to her, Old Madam Ning dissipated a lot of the sadness in her eyes.

Mrs. Zhu's eyes were red from crying.

Lu Jing guessed that she probably didn't cry for Lu Chongshan.

Lu Chongshan has been away from Lu's residence for a long time, and when he came back recently, he stayed in the bamboo house on Wulin Slope all day, and even Mrs. Zhu had never seen him a few times.

But Lu Feng is Madam Zhu's flesh and blood, and has grown up by Madam Zhu's side since she was a child. Now that Lu Feng is gone, how can she not be worried? How can I be willing?

On the contrary, Mrs. Zhong just lowered her head and sipped the feast.

Seeing this situation, Lu Jing couldn't help smiling.

This little Chun Zezhai!

There are so many kinds of people's hearts!

Most of the young masters and ladies of the second mansion in the mansion only cared about eating, drinking and having fun, and were indifferent to family affection. The departure of Lu Chongshan and Lu Feng could not affect their emotions in the slightest. Maybe they were more comfortable without Lu Feng, the son of the second mansion, in the mansion. .

Mrs. Zhu was reluctant and worried.

Mrs. Zhou is all about revenge on Lu Jing, and she doesn't hide her hatred.

Mrs. Ning was still disheartened because of Lu Chongshan's departure.

Although Mrs. Zhong was extremely restrained, Lu Jing could see from her eyes...she was extremely happy at the moment.

On the day Lu Chongshan returned to the mansion, Mrs. Zhong wanted to use Lu Jing and Lu Jiang to show off her power. On weekdays, she would even be wary of Lu Jing, a concubine and son-in-law, and did not want to see Lu Jing be better than Lu Qiong.

Madam Zhong didn't know how prepared she was for Lu Feng, the son of the Second House, who was talented in martial arts and was calm.

Now that Lu Chongshan and Lu Feng are gone, Mrs. Zhong is afraid that a big mountain has been relieved from her heart!

How could she be unhappy?

At this time, Lu Jing was in a calm mood. While drinking tea, observing the reactions of many people in Chunzezhai, she felt that the Lu family seemed to be dying of illness.

"It's no wonder that Lu Feng wanted to take such a risk, and even begged me to take care of the Lu family if I ever get ahead..."

Lu Jing thought to herself.

Mrs. Zhong's eyes fell on Lu Jing.

Immediately afterwards, her voice came: "Lu Jing."

Mrs. Zhong spoke calmly and called out Lu Jing's name.

The eyes of Ning Qiang, Lin Rendong, Lu Qiong, Lu Yi, and many young masters and ladies fell on Lu Jing in an instant following the sound.

Mrs. Zhou's eyes were full of joy.

Only Mrs. Zhu, who knew many things, was still immersed in the reluctance of Lu Feng's departure, and seemed unwilling to pay attention to the trivial matters in Chunzezhai.

The elders of the Lu family don't want to pay attention to Lu Jing at all on weekdays!

At this moment, Mrs. Zhong is calling for Lu Jing during the banquet, maybe there will be no good things for Lu Jing.

In contrast to Lu Jing, Mrs. Zhong was holding up a cup when she spoke, wanting to drink tea.

Mrs. Zhong called him, and many eyes fell on him. Lu Jing's hand holding the teacup was still extremely stable, without shaking in the slightest, and even the movement of his hand never stopped. After taking a sip of tea, he put the teacup carefully. On the table, this slowly got up.

He came to the hall and saluted Mrs. Zhong, his movements were meticulous, without any panic.

Mrs. Zhong looked at Lu Jing, and felt that Lu Jing's demeanor was getting better and better. If it was any other bastard, it would be impossible for her to develop that kind of calmness.

Seeing Lu Jing like this, Mrs. Zhong felt agitated for no reason.

She frowned and asked: "I heard that you didn't return the night before, and you still smelled of alcohol when you came back yesterday morning. How long have you been in that library? How did you get into such a habit, drinking all night and not returning? If the nobles know about it, they will only say that my Lu residence has no rules."

Ning Qiang and Lin Rendong looked at each other, both a little surprised.

Especially Mrs. Ning, who might be bored by Lu Chongshan's matter, immediately snorted coldly when she heard Madam Zhong's question!

Old Madam Ning has accumulated a lot of prestige in the Lu Mansion.

Following her cold snort, even the sound of moving chopsticks disappeared in Chunze Zhai, and it was completely silent.

Mrs. Zhou was also a little surprised, she didn't know that Lu Jing was so unruly and dared to drink all night!

Now that Mrs. Ning is angered, I'm afraid that some moderate punishment will be unavoidable!

Ning Qiang was also a little worried.

However, Lu Qiong found it strange, her eyes lit up, and she said, "Brother Jing, where did you go to drink the night before? Why don't you take me there, grandma, drinking and singing poetry is an elegant thing..."

Before Lu Qiong finished speaking, Mrs. Zhong glanced over. He was immediately terrified, lowered his head, and dared not say anything more.

At this time, Mrs. Ning patted Lu Qiong's hand, but looked at Lu Jing with a cold face: "You don't know your identity? You don't return after drinking late at night. If the Nanguo government finds out, you will blame us for not having rules. !"

There was a coldness in her cloudy eyes.

Seeing Old Madam Ning's stern tone and piercing eyes, many masters and ladies present did not dare to meet Madam Ning's gaze, but felt that Lu Jing in front of her was about to be beaten.

But when they peeked at Lu Jing.

But seeing that Lu Jing's face was still calm and tense, without the slightest fear in his eyes, he said slowly: "Old Madam, my lord, there is a reason for this matter, a lord invited me..."

"My lord? What lord?" Mrs. Zhong frowned even more when she heard Lu Jing say this: "You are only seventeen years old, how can you stay out all night and drink late at night? Which adult can invite you?" Are you drinking late at night?"

Mrs. Zhong asked a series of questions, and the old lady Ning also said slowly: "Even if someone invites you, you just decline it. How can the adults who hang out with you be so expensive? My Jiuhu Lu family is also old. Your house..."

"It was the Minister of the Ministry of War who invited me."

Lu Jing interrupted Mrs. Ning's words, and her voice became more stable: "Mr. Madam, please forgive my grandson for interrupting. There are many things to be said during the banquet, but I provoked that adult for no reason."

As soon as this statement came out.

The expressions of many people at the banquet changed suddenly.

Even Mrs. Zhong's complexion froze slightly!

The doctor of the Ministry of War in the North Korean Central Committee?

When did Lu Jing meet such a court official?

Mrs. Ning was about to get angry when Lu Jing interrupted her words, but she also heard Lu Jing's words.

She frowned and thought for a moment, then said without restraining her anger: "The position of the commander of the Ministry of War has been vacant for more than a month, who are you talking about?"

"Besides, although the Secretary of the Ministry of War is an official with real power, my Lu family inherits the title of Uncle Shen Xiao, and your father is a general! A fifth-rank official is also worthy of you to interrupt me? I fell into the hands of my Lu family for nothing! title!"

When she said this, even her expression became brighter!

Although the Lu family is weak, they still have the real military position of General Shenxiao in the court, and Lu Shenyuan's martial arts cultivation is not weak, and the reputation of youthful arrogance is still remembered by people even now.

There is also Shen Xiaobo's lintel, and it is even a first-class rich man in this ten-mile Changning Street!

With such a background in the Lu family, Lu Jing called a fifth-rank military commander as an adult in front of the old matriarch, and even interrupted the old matriarch Ning because of this, which made everyone in the court suspicious. After going to the library, why haven't I seen a bit of the world?

"Old Majesty, this military commander was recommended by Sheng Cifu, and he was appointed by the Holy Monarch himself. He also worshiped the eighth-rank honored captain of Qingche. This man has also been seen by the old matriarch. It is that An Huai. Fate."

That's all for Lu Jing's words.

Madam Ning and Mrs. Zhong's expressions changed first.

"Is there such a thing?"

Mrs. Ning's high spirits disappeared, and there was an unnatural look in her eyes, and she said with emotion: "Mr. Yu Bai can get an honorary officer as soon as he enters the official position, and he can get a real job. The future is limitless."

Mrs. Zhong also hesitated: "It is really Mr. Zhong who invited you?"

Lu Jing's complexion did not change, and he just said: "Mr. Yu Bai sent me to the library and made friends with me. Now that he is an official, he invited me to drink three or two cups. I couldn't refuse, so I had no choice but to go.

Afterwards, Lu Jing drank a few glasses of wine, a little tipsy, and wandered around with a student of the library, wasting time. "

"If this matter breaks the rules, when Mr. Yu Bai invites me next time, I will bluntly decline..."

"This...it doesn't have to be."

Mrs. Ning shook her head and said: "Shenyuan has never come back now, and my Lu family doesn't know about many things in the court. Since Mr. Yu Bai has a good relationship with you, in the future, with the relationship, the military department can also know some words."

"He invited you to drink, you just go. Now that you are still in the Lu Mansion, I can still be your master."

At this point in her words, another gleam flashed in her eyes, and her tone softened: "Or, you can also find a day to invite Mr. Yu Bai to Lu's residence, and let me be the host."

Many young masters and ladies in Chunze Zhai are somewhat envious that Lu Jing knows such an adult.

Now when the old matriarch spoke to him, his tone was softer than before when he was harsh.

If Lu Jing can really invite the famous An Huai to know his fate, maybe the old lady's impression of Lu Jing will be much better.

He can live a lot better in this Lu residence.

Mrs. Zhong also seemed to have the same idea as Mrs. Ning, she couldn't help but glanced at Lu Qiong, wondering what she was thinking.

However, to the surprise of many people...

Mrs. Ning just finished speaking.

But Lu Jing shook his head bluntly and said: "Old Madam, this matter... Forgive Lu Jing for not being able to agree."
