Chapter 345 The Shame of the Lu Family
Its daybreak.
It's a little chilly.
Jiang Miaomiao sat up with her eyes closed.
Ugh! Cold.
He shivered and then went back to sleep.
The chirping sounds in her ear overlapped with Sister Xiaozhi's voice calling her.
"Choo Choo Choo……"
"Miaomiao, wake up..."
Jiang Miaomiao rolled over on the bed, and when she opened her eyes, Yan Cheng'an was there too.
It turned out that Grandma Mu had come to visit her maternal grandmother and brought him along as well.
The little boy lay on the edge of the bed, propping his chin up and grinning at her.
"Miaomiao, get up quickly, let's go to the flower hall, it's so lively there." Xiaozhizhi really wanted to go, but she was afraid of being scolded by her mother.
But if you call on your younger sister Miaomiao, it won't happen.
No one in the family could bear to scold her.
Although this little sister is a bit naughty, she is mostly adorable.
She's super cute right now.
With messy hair, I huddled under the covers, half-asleep, watching them.
He stayed in bed and refused to get up.
Xiao Zhizhi had no choice but to lift her up herself, blankets and all, and Yan Cheng'an helped, giggling all the while.
Unable to carry it, they called Xi'er for help.
Xi'er: ...
Three kids together, that's just asking for trouble.
What a miserable life! Not only do we work year-round without a break, but the workload keeps increasing.
In the flower hall.
Both the Shen and Fang families came to propose marriage.
The Fang family was represented by Madam Fang herself.
Lu Wan came on behalf of the Shen family. As long as Lu Zhiyun doesn't agree to a physical examination, the Shen family members probably won't show up.
The two clashed from the moment they arrived, neither able to stand the other.
But Lu Wan didn't speak; it was Madam Fang who spoke first.
This Mrs. Fang has a kind face, but she has thin lips.
He looks like he's a very eloquent person.
Three children crouched behind the screen, eavesdropping, their voices barely audible.
However, my maternal grandmother decisively rejected the Fang family.
Because the princess had sent the files of the two potential marriage partners early in the morning.
Let's just call it the archive for now.
They were indeed two useless individuals: an abusive man and a fool.
The maternal grandmother stated bluntly, "I will not marry into either family."
Madam Fang smiled gently and said, "Grandma, why do you have to stop such a good marriage? Aren't you afraid of delaying your granddaughter's future? She'll be nineteen after the New Year, she's not young anymore."
Madam Lu didn't give her any face and went straight to the point, "Madam Fang, is your brother-in-law out of his mind? No matter how old my Yun'er is, we can still support her. It's better than her marrying out and being used as a maid or servant."
"Grandma, how can you say that? My fifth brother is just simple and kind-hearted. What's wrong with him? Besides, he is Prince Chen's maternal uncle. With Miss Lu's current reputation, it's already a great honor for her to marry my fifth brother."
"Who has ruined my Yun'er's reputation? If I find out, I will skin her alive!" As she spoke, Madam Lu took a dagger from the nanny and wiped it clean.
The blade was so bright it was almost blinding.
Mrs. Fang's heart pounded. She wanted to say something more, but found the words stuck in her throat and she couldn't speak.
We had no choice but to give up.
Just wait and see. When Prince Chen ascends the throne, your Lu family will have a hard time.
He glanced at Lu Wan before leaving.
Seeing her leave, Lu Wan looked gloating, thinking that it was her turn this time.
If she doesn't marry into the Shen family, who else can she marry?
However, before she could speak, Old Madam Lu said, "If you want to stay, go see your mother. She has been ill for several days. If you want to talk about Yun'er's marriage, then leave and leave the Lu family."
This girl came over a few days ago and made her mother very angry.
He had been harboring resentment for many years, and on top of that, he was getting old and his health was already poor.
If that brat gets me angry again, I'll be half dead.
Lu Wan was unwilling to leave.
He hurriedly said, "Aunt, I know who is spreading the rumors. If only you would listen to me for a few minutes."
"Isn't it the Fang family?" Needless to say, Old Madam Lu had already confirmed that it was the Fang family.
The Shen family, being a noble and aristocratic family, considered themselves superior and held such despicable methods in utter contempt.
“It’s the Fang family, but the Fang family was also instigated. Don’t you want to know who instigated them?” Lu Wan didn’t continue, waiting for Old Madam Lu to ask her.
Jiang Miaomiao pricked up her little ears to listen.
That day, Qiuqiu followed the suspicious woman all the way to the Fang family's house.
It turned out that the old woman was just an old maid from the Prince Chen's mansion, who had disguised herself as a lady from another family and followed Madam Fang in to spread rumors.
If it's not the Qi family, is there some hidden story?
Grandma Lu said impatiently, "Speak if you want to, otherwise leave."
Lu Wan changed her demeanor and said softly, "Aunt, I won't hide it from you anymore. It's my in-laws who insisted that I come and beg you to help Young Master Shen and Miss Yun get married, which would benefit all three parties."
Madam Lu asked coldly, "What do you mean by 'benefiting all three parties'?"
“My mother-in-law wants to arrange for Zhou Mu to marry Miss Shen Jiu, but the two elders of the Shen family said that as long as Yun Jie’er is willing to marry into the Shen family, they will agree to the marriage between Zhou Mu and Miss Shen Jiu. Aunt, look at Yun Jie’er’s current situation. If she continues to stay in the Lu family, the Lu family will be ridiculed by everyone in the capital. If she doesn’t marry into the Shen family, who else can she marry? All we need to do is have her body checked. We all believe that Yun Jie’er is innocent, but we also need to let others know that she is innocent.”
Zhou Mu is her husband's younger brother, and her mother-in-law is trying to find a way for him to marry Miss Shen Jiu.
However, the Shen family made a deal and offered a condition for exchange.
My mother-in-law herself refused to come forward, but she made me do this.
"I won't marry him. I'd rather become a nun in a Taoist temple than marry him," came Lu Zhiyun's voice from above Jiang Miaomiao's head.
Then I saw her walk out from behind the screen.
Oh no! We've been discovered.
The three little ones obediently went outside and stood next to their grandmother.
"Sister Yun, your aunt is only doing this for your own good. Why are you so stubborn? What's wrong with the Shen family? If you marry into the Shen family, you'll become a Duchess. Even without the rumors, can you find someone better than the Shen family?" Lu Wan earnestly advised.
Although they were aunt and niece, they were about the same age and talked about everything before they got married.
Now, Lu Zhiyun's gaze towards her is icy cold.
"Hmph! For my own good? Don't you know that young master Shen has a bad temper and beats and kicks the people around him at the drop of a hat? Otherwise, why do you think she doesn't marry a princess or a county princess? Can he afford to offend those people?" Lu Zhiyun looked coldly at her aunt.
Getting married isn't all that great. Look at Lu Wan, she looks much older than her age, not even as good as Aunt Qingyao.
The two are clearly so many years apart in age.
She was probably tormented by her mother-in-law.
"Lu Wan, what kind of aunt are you? Get back to your Zhou family." Madam Lin reached out to push Lu Wan out.
Lu Wan was not willing to accept this. Her mother-in-law knew that she had not reconciled with her family and threatened her.
If this matter cannot be resolved, let her husband divorce her.
She cannot be divorced.
"Lu Zhiyun, how can you be so ungrateful? After such a thing happened, how can you still have the face to live if you don't get married? Your existence is a stain on the Lu family and will make the Lu family the subject of gossip."
After Lu Wan finished speaking, she pointed at Jiang Miaomiao and Lu Zhizhi, "Will this make it difficult for them to find husbands in the future? Can you bear to do that?"
Jiang Miaomiao: ……
Wow! I've gotten myself into this mess.
This woman has a knack for hitting people where it hurts.
If she keeps talking, Sister Yun will be driven to her death by her words.
The little one pointed at Lu Wan and said in a childish voice, "You are the disgrace of the Lu family, Xi'er, slap her."
Xi'er was stunned for a moment. Her young master was adapting to his new identity quite quickly.
He stepped forward and slapped her several times across the face.
"Clap clap clap..."
