After the rebirth of the Marquis's mistress, she smiled at the scumbag's family

Lu Yuan was playing with a box of jewelry and couldn't let go of some of them.

She didn't care where Lin Wan'er got the money from. Whether it was given by the old marquis of Wu'an Marquis's Mansion or she embezzled the money from Zhennan Palace, it had nothing to do with her.

As long as these things belong to me, it's fine.

Although he also resented Lin Wan'er, but for the sake of these new dresses and jewelry, as well as future dresses and jewelry, Lu Yuan was still willing to be nicer to her.

"Thank you, Auntie."

She lowered her head and spoke in a soft voice, as if she was embarrassed and as if she was unwilling to admit it.

She was unwilling to admit that the person in front of her was her biological mother.

She really couldn't say the word "mother" because in her heart, she always thought that Lin Wan'er was not worthy of her.

Especially after seeing Xiao Yunxi's nobility in the Marquis of Jingning's Mansion, he looked down on Lin Wan'er even more.

Lin Wan'er couldn't see what Lu Yuan was thinking. She just felt that her daughter's attitude had softened and she was now saying "thank you" to her in a nice way.

For a moment, she was a little excited, her eyes were red, "Hey kid, we are mother and daughter, why do I need to be so polite when a mother buys something for her daughter?"

She stepped forward, took Lu Yuan's hand, and patted it twice, "Mom knows that I have wronged you during this period of time."

She looked up at Lu Ze, who was looking down in deep thought not far away, and sighed before continuing:

"But mother promises you that everything will be fine soon, and you will become the noble eldest son and daughter of the Zhennan Palace."

"As long as Ze'er passes the imperial examination, he will surely have a smooth career in the government."

"Yuan'er, you can also marry into a noble family and become a mistress."

Lu Ze chuckled. “You’ve made this promise many times, but in the end, we were both illegitimate children who were pointed at and scolded.”

"Not to mention the old prince and old lady, even father doesn't care about us at all."

Lin Wan'er looked at him and nodded vigorously, "Mother swears that this time it will succeed and I will make you the superior people again."

"Otherwise, I will die a miserable death, with no remains left, and I will be a lonely ghost for eternity!"

This oath can be said to be quite cruel.

Seeing Lin Wan'er's determined expression, Lu Ze finally raised his head and looked at her, smiling slightly.

"Okay, I believe you."

When Lin Wan'er saw her son finally smile, she felt relieved.

After all, they are all she can rely on in the future.

"Mom, tell the kitchen to cook some delicious dishes so that the three of us can have a good meal together!"

After hearing these words, both Lu Ze and Lu Yuan were in a trance for a moment.

It had indeed been a long time since the three of them had sat together and had a good chat, let alone eaten at the same table.

"it is good!"

Seeing that neither Lu Ze nor Lu Yuan refused, Lin Wan'er was so happy that she didn't know what to do.

"Well, then I'll go to the kitchen now and make something you like!"

Before he could finish his words, he ran out in a hurry. His steps were a little messy and he almost fell.

After watching her leave, Lu Yuan put away the smile on his face and looked back at Lu Ze, "Didn't brother say that he felt sick when he saw her? Why did you agree to have dinner with her?"

Lu Ze glanced at the new clothes not far away and said lightly: "For the future."

"Do you really believe what she said?" Lu Yuan spat disdainfully, "Not to mention her, even Marquis Wu'an doesn't have this ability!"

"Besides, what can they do? The best they can do is to make Lin Wan'er the legitimate wife and register us under her name, turning us back into legitimate sons and daughters."

"In the future, I will rely on the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion to find you a position, and find me a wealthy family."

"But don't forget, brother. As long as the Ningguo Mansion is still here, don't even think about getting ahead by being an official."

Of course Lu Ze knew this.

During his time at Bailu Academy, he experienced a lot and grew a lot.

I have truly felt the huge difference brought about by the difference in status.

The Prince of Zhennan's Mansion was not well-received in the capital, and his status as a bastard made him even more bullied.

No one wanted to talk to him, no one wanted to make friends with him, and their eyes were full of disdain and disgust.

The teachers in the academy never treated him badly or differently. They punished him if he made a mistake without any leniency.

Looking at the painful spot on his hand, his hand had basically never healed since he entered the academy.

I have poor aptitude to begin with, and there are many things I cannot learn no matter how hard I try.

My mother used to...

Thinking of this, Lu Ze smiled bitterly.

It should be Princess Dingyuan.

She never spoke harshly. No matter how many times she explained something to him and he still didn't understand, she would always teach him patiently until he understood it thoroughly.

Later, after she left the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion, it was Lu Zhan.

Lu Ze's eyes flickered. Lu Zhan was just like Xiao Yunxi. He would never lose his temper just because he couldn't learn something, and he would never punish him.

Thinking of the time before, Lu Ze's heart was filled with regret.

He looked up at Lu Yuan trying on her new dress and jewelry in front of the mirror.

I thought of what Lin Wan'er just said, "this time"...

Lin Wan'er must have been fully prepared to make such a cruel oath to herself.

When they were studying at Bailu Academy, their teacher taught them "The Art of War", one of the strategies was called "using the opponent's force to defeat him".

Presumably, Lin Wan'er is the same this time. She must have found helpers, and they are very powerful helpers.

Not only Xiao Yunxi, but her big backers will also be eliminated.

Even if he cannot be eliminated, it will not affect his career.

Lu Ze was just struggling now, whether he should trust Lin Wan'er's plan;

Or do you believe in Xiao Yunxi's ability and believe that she can turn danger into safety?

If he believed in Lin Wan'er, he could just wait and reap the benefits, then move up step by step.

If he believed Xiao Yunxi, he should sneak out and tell her the secret to do her a favor.

Who knows, Xiao Yunxi might remember his kindness and promise him a good future.

But he had no idea which way the door of Prince Dingyuan's Palace faced, let alone whether Xiao Yunxi would see him.

Comparing the two, it seems that believing in Lin Wan'er is more beneficial to him.

Even if Lin Wan'er fails, it can't be blamed on me, right?

Even if Lin Wan'er died, no matter how she died, it would have no effect on him.

On the contrary, it might be a good thing.

Lin Wan'er said that her father was in poor health and would not be able to have children in the future, so she was his only son.

What if I ignore him now? When my father dies, everything will still belong to him, Lu Ze!

Thinking of this, Lu Ze suddenly felt much more relaxed.

She even stood up and walked to Lu Yuan, giving her advice on which jewelry to match with which clothes.

After Lin Wan'er prepared the dishes, the mother and her two children were actually able to sit down and eat together happily chatting.
