The Lu family, the Minister of Rites, was in an uproar because Lu Xuanzhong fell ill, but finally the Minister's wife asked him about the reason.

But no one knew whose family the young lady Lu Xuanzhong was interested in belonged to. They only knew that she had an older brother. The two of them only brought one servant with them when they went out. They probably didn't belong to a very powerful family.

One of the servants said that he saw the brother and sister's servants saying a few words to the young master. After that, the young master's face didn't look good. Maybe the young master knew something?

After hearing what the servant said, the waiter's wife went to ask her son.

Lu Xuanzhong did not dare to say what Ren Gu said about looking down on his family's third-rank officials. He was afraid that after telling her, his mother would be resentful and would not agree to his proposal to marry that young lady. He only said that the servant of that family came to ask him who he was. After he finished speaking, he looked at his mother with a red face. He was ashamed of lying to his mother.

But the minister's wife misunderstood, thinking that the family also took a fancy to her son and sent people to inquire about it, so his son was shy.

Seeing that her son couldn't find anything to ask, the wife of the assistant minister had no choice but to let Lu Xuanzhong take good care of him first.

When she returned to her room, the lady in charge next to her came back and said that she had carefully questioned the boys. No one knows whose family the brothers and sisters belong to, but some people saw Shouchang Hou sitting at the same table with the brothers and sisters, and they were chatting happily. I think Shouchang Hou must have known the brother and sister.

The servant's wife frowned when she heard this. How could she be a good person to be friends with the Marquis of Shouchang? No one from the high-ranking families in the capital would hide away when they saw the Marquis of Shouchang. But when she thought of her son lying on the bed, she could only sigh. No matter what, she had to find him first before she could say anything else.

The waiter's wife had no choice but to discuss it with Lu Qi. When Lu Qi heard this, he just thought it was ridiculous. How could he meet a random woman on the street, and no one even knew her last name, and it was just a casual encounter that would make him sick?

But when he turned around and saw the Vice Minister's wife wiping away her tears, he was helpless. The two families were guarding this single Miaomiao. If something happened, and no one came from his hometown, his wife would not let him off lightly.

Lu Qi had no choice but to send someone to send a message to Shouchang Hou Mansion, intending to visit him. Not wanting his servants to reply, Shouchang Hou attended the palace banquet on New Year's Eve and never returned home. Lu Qi asked people to inquire about the whereabouts of Shouchang Hou, but there were more than a dozen named brothels in the capital, as well as countless restaurants and private rooms. Where could he find them? The people from Lu Qi ran around, and either they said they had never been to those places, or they said they had just left. Lu Qi had no choice but to have people guard the door of the Shouchang Hou Mansion. As soon as Xiao Lin came back, he would report to him immediately.

Finally, Xiao Lin waited until he came home, but before he came, he heard that Shouchang Hou left the city overnight to go to Tianji Temple. Lu Qi was so angry that he almost cursed. The most handsome man in the capital went to the Taoist temple. This was because he had seen through the world of mortals and planned to become a monk, or he was tired of playing in the city and planned to become a Taoist priest.

This time I received an invitation from Duke Chengen's Mansion and heard the news that Shu Mansion was planning to hold a grand event. The waiter's wife wondered if the woman who seduced her son would also participate, so she planned to take two of the boys around her son with her and let them guard the edge of the second door, in case she could get that one Find someone!

But after all, it was at someone else's house. The wife of the assistant minister told the two young men to be smart outside the second door. Once they saw someone, they said they would help Mr. Lu deliver the message. Naturally, the lady in charge beside her would go to see them.

After arranging everything, the Lu family and his wife set off to attend the banquet at Cheng'en Palace. And Lu Xuanzhong was still lying on the bed, surrounded by eight maids serving him.

I am the dividing line

After lunch, the prince's driver had just left the East Palace.

The carriage in which the three Miss Shus were sitting had been waiting outside the palace gate for almost two hours.

Shu Ruoyun was in Kunde Palace during this period, and it can be said that he was the target of key training. Every day before dawn, I would be called up to recite "Female Virtues" before starting each day's activities. And the teachings about rules are integrated into every moment of her life. At least three nuns are waiting by her side every day. Whenever she behaves or even coughs, someone will remind her if there is any slight deviation. One person preaches, one demonstrates, and one guides, allowing her to correct her shortcomings at all times.

After these days of training, Shu Ruoyun has indeed achieved initial results. There is indeed no air of frivolity in her gestures. After all, the rules of young ladies in wealthy families have been in place since elementary school. If they go astray for a while, it is easy to break them.

Originally, her previous behavior was also a kind of imitation of novelty, just like modern people imitate celebrities. There will always be people discussing and imitating the movements, the way they speak, and the way they look at people. Even the clothes they wear, the accessories they wear, and even more so the tattoos they have. All it takes is someone to say a few words about how beautiful or different it is. There will be a large group of people rushing to imitate others, regardless of whether those things are suitable for them or not, and they will only follow the trend blindly.

But Shu Ruoyun's body adjusted, but the haze in his mind was not wiped away. With the harsh words and punishments of those nuns, the resentment in her heart gradually deepened, but she could not express it to the people in Kunde Palace, so the malice in her heart was directed at Miss Shu Wu, Shu Yanyun.

Especially when she discovered that no matter how she treated Shu Yanyun, those nuns would not stop her. Bullying Shu Yanyun became her only pastime these days.

There is a distinction between concubine and concubine, and there is a distinction between superiority and inferiority. Naturally no one said anything when Shu Ruoyun bullied Shu Yanyun, but if the one being bullied had been Shu Yiyun, the seventh lady, Shu Ruoyun would have been kneeling in the Buddhist hall.

Shu Yiyun has also been full of resentment these days. She originally thought that she would come to Kunde Palace to celebrate the New Year, have fun, and see the envious eyes of her little sisters when she went back. Unexpectedly, Shu Ruoyun not only could not go home, but was also punished for copying and had to learn the rules for two hours every day. Now she doesn't even want to talk to Shu Ruoyun, let alone Shu Yanyun.

At this time, Shu Yanyun was like a pitiful little quail that had been soaked in the rain, huddled in the corner of the carriage. As the waiting time got longer and longer, Shu Ruoyun's face became colder and colder, and he would gouge Shu Yanyun with his eyes from time to time. If it weren't for the nuns and guards standing outside the car, Shu Ruoyun would have to pay attention to her own image. She would have been there long ago. Just started scolding.

But even so, Shu Ruoyun still whispered to Shu Yanyun coldly: "I'm going home today. When I get home, I must tell my mother that it was you who talked too much to the Queen, and the eldest brother will be punished. . And I heard that Big Brother’s outer chamber has been disposed of, so be careful that Big Brother won’t let you go.”

She seemed to have thought of something, and said with a malicious smile: "I just didn't know that Yaoniang would have to kneel down and lift the door curtain in her mother's house for several days this time."

Yaoniang is Shu Yanyun's biological mother. She was originally bought by the imperial concubine from the south and kept in her house as a pet. Even after giving birth to Shu Yanyun, she did not get the status of a concubine, only the status of a common roommate.

If the Crown Princess was unhappy about something, she would ask Yao Niang to kneel at the door and lift the curtain. This was often the time when Shu Yanyun was most embarrassed and helpless. She felt sorry for her biological mother, but she was so reticent, couldn't even plead for mercy, and had to pretend to turn a blind eye.

Just when Shu Yanyun wanted to say something and beg Shu Ruoyun for mercy. Someone came outside to report, "The prince's chariot will leave the East Palace soon. Please get off the car and wait for the driver."

Shu Yanyun could only bite the flesh inside her lips tightly and swallow back what she wanted to say.
