C16 Decoction for Invigorating and Perturbing Souls
In fact, Lu Kangqin was already regretting what he had said earlier, and now that he had heard what Lu Manli had said, he felt even more conflicted, "But, but you don't know how sad Sister Yao cried when she heard the news of Second Brother's engagement!"
"And after she cries?" Lu Cangqin didn't understand why she asked that question, so he looked at her with a puzzled expression. Lu Cangli continued to ask, "After crying, are you going to say you're not willing to give up? How much do you like your second brother?"
Lu Kangqin looked at her with a surprised expression. Seeing her expression, Lu Manli knew that she had guessed correctly. That woman Yuan Yao is indeed a person who likes to put on airs, "Doesn't she make you feel that she's especially pitiful? Then, you sympathized with her, and today you've been showing your dissatisfaction towards Gu Qing Wan. "
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Lu Manli continued, "Then have you thought about how innocent Gu Qingwan is? "She doesn't know Yuan Zhaoyao, but because of her, you made her lose face like this. What would happen if a fiance like her who covets you made your fiancé's little sister feel resentful towards you?" After asking that question, Lu Wenli turned around and left, "Think about it carefully."
Leaving Lu Manqin with a face full of uneasiness, after going back, Second Wife asked Lu Manli, "Did you get into trouble again? Have you gone to persuade her again? " He looked disapproving.
"Mother, Manqin was only spoiled. Actually, she didn't have any bad intentions, since I was raised with her, she took good care of me at that time. If she could be persuaded, she could say a few words. If she doesn't listen to me, she wouldn't say it."
Second Madam's face was filled with helplessness. "I still don't know you?" Mother is afraid that she will make your second brother dissatisfied with you, so you know that your second brother has the final say in our family. " This was what he would rely on in the future, and he could not afford to offend him.
"I know, Mother, don't worry. Second Brother isn't that kind of person." At the same time, she wasn't worried at all. She understood Lu Yan's character, so she wouldn't be so angry.
Lady Jiang had learned the reason from Xu Jianyin. She was speechless at the time. How could such a brainless girl be born otherwise? He was about to reach his age. If he was to be used as a gun by someone stupid like that, would it be a form of marriage or enmity?
"It's never a good thing to continue like this. She's almost at the age of marriage, how could she dare to mention it to others?" As a family member, Madame Jiang always had to worry more.
Xu Jiayin didn't think that the main house could be the third wife's master. "Don't worry, Mother. Aunt San has been walking around with her fifth sister all this time. Who knows, maybe she already has an ideal candidate."
Before she got married, Xu Jiayin would often attend events like these. It was forced on her by the circumstances, so there was no reason for her to go up to the top herself.
He couldn't quite accept that his daughter would often appear in public in all sorts of social gatherings. He felt that she was a man, and that a woman should be gentle and virtuous, like a man who taught his children. Where was the principle of going to dances?
Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, Xu Jianyin rarely attended any of those events. She was usually dressed in a qipao, and had never once thought about ironing her hair or wearing a dress. Since Lu Yun didn't like it, he often saw Lu Manqin frown, thinking that she didn't look like a lady at all.
So she wouldn't say anything about Third Aunt's behavior, but she didn't agree in her heart. The reason Third Aunt entered the Lu family by herself was because her birth wasn't enough, but even if the Lu family's girl was born, no one would criticize her. She felt that this was the same as lowering her identity and didn't understand what she was thinking.
Lady Jiang knew this, so she said with disdain, "Your Third Aunt's heart is always in high spirits. She always wants your fifth sister to marry her, and then the Third Aunt will be proud of it." Slightly discouraged, he waved his hand. "Forget it, let them go." Even if the main house said something, Ji Shuping wouldn't listen to it. On the contrary, she felt that the main house wouldn't be able to see them.
So every time she mentioned Ji Shuping, Madame Jiang would always feel a little disheartened. If it weren't for the fact that the Old Master had always said that they were all family and needed to take care of each other, she wouldn't have bothered to care about how the Third Branch was tormenting her.
As the third master had always been extravagant, the third house could not save any money at all. Ji Shuping had also put all her effort into raising her daughter. She had tasted the sweetness and naturally hoped that her daughter would rise to the next level.
As a result, he had taught her to study piano and paint since she was young and sent her to school when she was a little girl, but whenever there was something popular in Beiping, he was the first to support his daughter's attempt. The purpose was to make her daughter a fashionable modern girl.
Lu Manqin was already used to living like this, so he didn't think much of it. She also approved of her mother's way of life. The thought that was instilled into her mind by Ji Shuping was that she had to fight for her own happiness, so she didn't expect others to hand it over to her.
Actually, her thinking was not wrong, but the problem was that Ji Shuping was not right. She had taken a little trick to hook up with Third Master, so it was obvious how much she would teach Lu Manqin.
Gu Qing's painting was one of the Gu family's. Madam Guan had put in a lot of effort in this period of time, wanting to find someone whose character and family background was better than Gu Qing's. At the very least, she had to be the eldest son.
Thus, right now, Gu Qingshui was being dragged by Madam Guan to meet all sorts of people every day, leaving her with no time to look for Senior Brother. As such, she was always troubled.
She could tell from the actions of the past few days that her mother wanted to find her a family background. According to her understanding, her senior brother's family wasn't that good, so she wasn't too sure if her mother would allow her to interact with him.
But looking at those second generation ancestors, she felt disdain from the bottom of her heart. Wasn't it due to her family's connections that she had come this far? How could she be like senior brother, relying solely on herself? Only this kind of man was a real man, and only he was reliable. This was the man that she wanted, only she didn't like those who relied on family connections.
The Gu family's Gu Qishao was always living in deep water every day, but the Gu family's Gu Qishao was very carefree. Ever since he had attended the ball last time, Lu Yan would often come over to take her out to see a movie.
After all, if they were to live together in the future, Gu Qing Wan naturally wouldn't refuse. She also wanted to get to know Lu Yan before marriage and depend on him in the future.
The Gu family couldn't wait for Gu Qing Wan to marry into the Lu family. They were also happy to see such a thing happen, so Madam Song was even happier. "I already said that if we're late, we'll look good and smart. We'll definitely be liked." As he spoke, his face was also filled with gratification.
Only Gu Qingchen had a complicated feeling in his heart. On one hand, he was happy that his sister was being valued, and on the other hand, he felt that his sister was about to be snatched away by someone else.
Of course Lu Yan knew what his brother-in-law was thinking. He grew up with Gu Qing Lian, and Gu Qing Wan doted on him like he did. Suddenly, one day, he was no longer the only person his big sister cared about, and it was also possible that his big sister would be someone else's.
Lu Yan was so smart. After understanding the situation, he immediately began to formulate a plan to please his brother-in-law. Knowing that Gu Qingchen was currently studying very hard and was trying very hard to make a name for himself, he decided to give him some limited edition books.
His own knowledge was deep and profound, and he had always given careful guidance to Gu Qingchen. During his lectures, he had taught Gu Qingchen many things, which had helped Gu Qingchen improve his enthusiasm for learning. He had been completely subdued by Lu Yan, and now that they had met, he had taken the initiative to call him brother-in-law.
He was satisfied, but Gu Qinglang wasn't happy about it. This Gu Qingcheng was too unsteady, she was subdued just like that, and she even called him brother-in-law!
When Lu Yan came to pick Gu Qing Wan up again, Gu Qing Chen welcomed him enthusiastically and called him brother-in-law. Gu Qing Wan finally couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Don't spout nonsense when you're free. Who's your brother-in-law?" I'm not married yet, where did your brother-in-law come from?
Gu Qingchen smiled at her, "Brother-in-law is amazing!" He was truly impressed by Lu Yan. He felt that only such a man was worthy of his sister, or else he wouldn't have shouted so loudly.
On the other hand, Lu Yan had a gentle smile on his face, and Gu Qingwan felt her stomach ache looking at his smile. This seemingly gentle and jade-like man was actually a black-skinned man, he had subtly and quietly subdued everyone in the family, except of course some people in the main house.
Now that Madame Song saw that he was even more intimate with her than he was with Gu Qing Wan, she couldn't help but ask him questions, almost asking him everything he ate three meals a day. Sometimes, even Gu Qinglang would have to wonder, just who was your real body?
Whenever this happened, Lu Yan would listen patiently with a smile. From time to time, he would answer with a few sentences, appearing to be extremely warm and harmonious.
Sometimes, Gu Qingchen would also say something along with Gu Qingcheng. The three of them had completely excluded Gu Qingye, so she just stood by and watched. She felt that her mother and brother had been deceived by this underling, but she couldn't expose him.
It wasn't to cover up for him, but to say that Lady Song and Gu Qingchen wouldn't believe him either. Gu Qingwan felt that if she really failed, she would be completely eaten by Lu Yan. Even if they were to get married in the future, her mother would probably side with him.
Gu Qingwan couldn't help grumbling when they left the house, "Don't feed my mother and brother bewitching soup anymore. Look at them, they've all been tricked by you now."
