Chapter 200 Your father doesn't have that much face
Lu Chenshuang felt Lin's kindness and motherly love, but she didn't want to move back to the Lu Mansion.
Firstly, there are many people in the Lu Mansion, and it is very troublesome to visit them every morning and evening.
Secondly, she was used to being alone, and no one could restrain her from doing whatever she wanted in her own house.
Thirdly, she was also considering the Lu family. After all, she had been divorced.
Lin and Lu Zhan gave birth to the original owner, and she took over the original owner's body. As long as they were not very bad, they would be her parents.
She couldn't help them in any way, but she also couldn't let them be criticized because of her.
Lu Chenshuang smiled and said to Lin: “Mom, I am used to being free.
If I come back to live here, how will you manage the Lu family in the future?"
After hearing this, Lin said disapprovingly: "Why can't you manage it? Mother is the head of the Lu family, and you are the eldest daughter of the family, so you are naturally different from others. Who dares to say anything gossipy?"
Maybe other people won’t say anything, including Lu Chenxi and Lu Chenguang, who are not qualified, but there is still Old Lady Lu.
After all, she is Lu Zhan's biological mother, the old lady of this family.
Although Lu Chenshuang was not afraid of her, she was still burdened by the burden of filial piety.
Lu Chenshuang didn't want to compete with them every day and make the family restless.
So she feels more comfortable living outside.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade Lu Chenshuang, Lin had to give up.
He took Lu Chenshuang's hand and returned to his own yard.
Xiaoman and Guyu followed closely behind, and then ordered the servants to carry the things that Lu Chenshuang brought into Lin's yard.
Lin is now knowledgeable. When he saw so many things, including a basket of lychees, he knew that these were tributes.
But this is more of a token of love from her daughter, Lin was very precious, looking at the gifts Lu Chenshuang brought back, she said: "This is a tribute from the palace, look at the quality, it's extraordinary.
And these lychees are the most rare. At the palace banquet that night, each person only had a small plate. How come you have such a big basket? Could it be a gift from His Royal Highness the Prince of War?
Don't tell me this time that it was your father's face. Your father doesn't have that much face."
After saying that, he looked at Lu Chenshuang with a smile in his eyes, as if to say, "I'm an experienced person, don't fool me."
Somehow, Lu Chenshuang suddenly felt a little embarrassed when being stared at by Lin.
It really feels like I was caught by my parents while secretly dating my boyfriend.
Lu Chenshuang pretended to cough and said, "Mom, this thing was given to me by the Queen Mother when I entered the palace yesterday. It has nothing to do with Mu Hansu."
Lin looked at her daughter and suddenly laughed out loud.
It seems there is no need to ask more questions. He doesn't even call him "Prince", which shows that their relationship is better than she thought.
Since her daughter doesn't want to talk now, she will wait a little longer.
So Lin asked again: "Didn't you go to the palace for a banquet the day before yesterday? Why did you go to the palace again yesterday?"
Lu Chenshuang sighed and said, "The Queen is having a miscarriage.
It seems to be because of Zhou Yuer’s matter.
By the way, Mom, remember to remind Dad not to get too close to the Zhou family.
The emperor might take some major actions against the Zhou family recently."
Although Lu Chenshuang didn't know the emperor's attitude towards the Zhou family, she was very clear about the empress dowager and Mu Hansu's attitude towards the Zhou family.
Moreover, the emperor would not be able to tolerate the Zhou family and Zhou Yuer plotting against him no matter how good his temper was.
But Lu Chenshuang couldn't tell Lin about these things. She could only remind Lin and Lu Zhanshao to stop associating with the Zhou family.
Lin also knew about her daughter's abilities. Since she said so, the Zhou family would definitely be in big trouble.
And she knew very well that there were some things she shouldn't know, otherwise it would only bring unnecessary disaster.
Lin did not ask any more questions, but smiled and said: "It is really thanks to Shuang'er's reminder of this matter, otherwise I would have planned to go to the Zhou family's appointment tomorrow."
Lu Chenshuang was a little surprised when she heard this. The Lin family came from a merchant family, and even though Lu Zhan was a third-rank assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he was not worth mentioning in the eyes of the aristocratic families in the capital.
Therefore, since coming to the capital, Lin rarely goes out for social events.
Officials who are too low-ranking cannot curry favor with the Lu family, and those with good family backgrounds are unwilling to associate with her.
The Zhou family is an old and aristocratic family in the capital. Not only do many members of the family serve as officials in the court, but they also have a queen.
It stands to reason that the Zhou family would not have the opportunity to see the Lu family, let alone send a message to the Lin family.
Lin seemed to see Lu Chenshuang's confusion, and said with a chuckle: "Mother, this is all thanks to you.
You said in the palace that night that you have a close personal relationship with Prince Zhan, and you also have a good private relationship with the Queen Mother and the Emperor.
As a result, my mother received many invitations early the next morning.
There are the Zhou family, the Li family, and the Wang family. They are all people that my mother couldn't curry favor with before.
Now I have too many social engagements to attend.
My mother carefully decided to go to Zhou's house first, but this happened before she even left the house.
It seems that mother is really not suitable for socializing."
Lu Chenshuang really didn't expect that the direction of these big families would change just because of such a sentence.
But no matter what, this is not a bad thing for the Lu family.
However, Lu Chenshuang still reminded Lin: "Mom, if you don't want to socialize with these people, you don't have to accept every invitation. Just pick the people you think are worth getting to know."
Lin nodded when she heard this. In fact, this was also her plan.
There are so many powerful people in the capital, it is absolutely impossible to make friends with all of them.
Moreover, most of the interactions between the powerful people in the capital are for the sake of interests, so Lin really doesn't want to attend social events.
But it is not realistic not to make friends with people.
She could only try her best to associate with people who had good family backgrounds and personalities and who were easy to talk to.
Before Lu Chenshuang and Lin had finished their private conversation, Old Lady Lu sent someone to ask Lin and the others to go over.
Lin stood up helplessly and said, "It's been very difficult to have a quiet time these days. I guess it's because they knew you were coming today."
Old Madam Lu is the elder, and Dalin governs the world with filial piety. Even if she takes advantage of her seniority, as long as she doesn't do anything out of line, Lin and Lu Chenshuang can only turn a blind eye.
After Mrs. Han's death, Mrs. Lin tried to be a demon but failed. After that, she actually stayed quiet for a while. Lu Chenshuang guessed that she was either holding back some big move or she just didn't find the opportunity.
When Lu Chenshuang and Lin arrived at Old Lady Lu's yard, what was rare was that Old Lady Lin had neither a headache nor a fever this time.
Lu Chenxi and Lu Zhan's two concubines were accompanying them. Old Madam Lu talked and laughed with them with a loving look on her face.
Even after seeing Lu Chenshuang, Old Lady Lin gave her a rare smile and said to her, "No wonder the magpie in my yard was calling this morning, it turned out that Shuang'er is back.
You are such a silly kid. When you get home, you don’t come to your grandmother’s yard first. Are you still angry with your grandmother?
There is no such thing as overnight hatred between a grandfather and his grandson."
When Lu Chenshuang heard this, she felt something strange, extremely strange.
