Voice of the heart: Those who are eaten by the real daughter are in bad luck

Zhang Shui'er was amused by her and giggled. Thinking that Lu Xinlan was not hiding it from her on purpose but simply couldn't open his mouth, she laughed even more happily.

She leaned on the other side of Pei and greeted her with a smile.

"Madam, my great-grandmother has been waiting for you since early morning. She will be very happy to see you later."

The old lady of the Duke's Mansion is the mother of the current Duke, the father of Zhang Shui'er and the grandmother of the Queen. According to seniority, Pei should also call her aunt.

The old lady is approaching her eighties, but she is still in good health, with clear eyesight and no shortness of breath.

Her silver hair was tied into the simplest bun and fixed on top of her head with a white jade hairpin.

When he saw them come in, he immediately smiled and waved, motioning Pei to come closer and talk.

Lu Xinran looked at the vigorous old man, feeling shocked and impressed.

Even in later generations, being close to eighty years old is considered a long life. This old lady must have been a person of great wisdom and a broad mind.

The Pei family were all juniors in front of the old lady, and Lu Xinran and the others couldn't even get close to her.

After a few people came forward to pay their respects, they retreated to the outside of the room, talking and laughing in low voices while listening to the noises in the room.

"Have you heard? Dingkang Marquis's Mansion used the red seal and iron certificate granted by Emperor Gaozu for Pei Xiuzhuo."

Zhang Shui'er leaned close to the ears of the Lu sisters and whispered a thunderbolt.

Lu Xinran opened his eyes wide in surprise. A few days ago, Lu Xinlan said that if the Dingkang Marquis Mansion used the Red Book of Iron Certificate, there would be a lot of trouble in the future.

At that time, she thought that even if Pei Jinming was confused, he would not ignore everything for the sake of a grandson.

As a result, reality slapped her tender little face.

Lu Xinlan had anticipated this and was not surprised at all.

"It's not a bad thing to use the red seal and iron certificate."

Of the few families that followed Emperor Gaozu in founding the country, only the Duke's Mansion and the Dingkang Marquis' Mansion still have their titles.

The red-lettered iron certificate of the Duke's Mansion was taken to the palace by the Queen, and the red-lettered iron certificate of the Marquis Dingkang's Mansion was left alone, becoming particularly eye-catching.

Pei Jinming was not trying to save his grandson's life so much as taking the opportunity to throw away this hot amulet 'legitimately'.

"My great-grandmother also said so. She said that although Lord Pei's move was risky, it would also allow His Majesty to let down his guard against the Marquis' Mansion."

Zhang Shui'er said as she pulled Lu Xinlan's hand with sparkling eyes: "You are so smart! Grandma and great-grandma will definitely like you very much. Do you want to be my sister-in-law?"

Lu Xinran took a step forward, pulled Lu Xinlan's arm out and pulled him behind him.

"Sister is of humble origin and unworthy of the wealth of the Duke's Mansion. Don't say such things again."

[The Queen has such a hard time in the palace, and everyone in the Duke's Mansion must be walking on thin ice. I can't bear to let her live a hard life in the Duke's Mansion. ]

【The overwhelming wealth and prosperity of a raging fire and oil should be best left to others. 】

She now wanted to accumulate enough life points, then kidnap her grandmother, and the three of them could travel around Da Chu.

The old lady in the room had long heard that the thoughts of the newly found maid of the Lu family would always be heard by others from time to time.

Now, when he heard her talk about the situation of the Duke's Mansion, he smiled with an open mind.

"You are lucky. Your granddaughters are all smart and insightful. This girl seems a little erratic and not dignified enough, but she is actually very wise."

Pei smiled happily when she received the praise from the old lady, even happier than if she was praised directly.

At their age, they compare themselves to the younger generations in the family. She has a sincere and filial young son, and several well-behaved and smart granddaughters. Her life has not been lived in vain.

"This girl is a worry. I feel worried every time I take her out."

The old lady laughed when she heard this.

I'm worried...the ones who are scared to death are probably those people who have done dirty things in the mansion.

"Did you hear the noise from the Dingkang Marquis's residence?"

"I heard it." Speaking of her brother, Pei's smile instantly stopped: "Brother, you are so confused. That child is not worth risking everything to save."

She spoke with sorrow and pain, but the old lady did not see any loss in her eyes.

Knowing that she was saying this to outsiders, she smiled and continued talking about their arrangements.

"Let Shui'er take you for a walk in the yard later. The boat on the lake was just repaired a few days ago. Let's go on the boat and enjoy the breeze."

She said this very tactfully, but as they were all old foxes, how could Pei not hear her intention?

Knowing that she also wanted to see the excitement of Lord Rong'en's mansion, he smiled and replied, "It is our blessing to be able to accompany the old lady on the boat."

In the yard, Zhang Shuier was showing off her arrangements to Lu Xinlan.

“There are two cruise ships on the lake. I will have someone bring the people from Rong En’s mansion to the cruise ship later, and then have the servants lead Lord Tang and the Fourth Prince to the other cruise ship.

"As long as we're close enough, people on both ships can hear what they need to hear, and it doesn't seem deliberate. Am I being smart?"

She raised her head, her whole body exuding an energy that sought praise, which made Lu Xinlan couldn't help but smile.

"I knew I'd ask for your help. I'm sure you can do it well and steadily."

"That was when I..."

She wanted to say that she had originally wanted to be the prince's consort, so of course she had to be very scheming and resourceful, but when she thought about the fact that Lu Xinlan and Song Junyan's verbal engagement had not been cancelled, she no longer had this intention, so she couldn't say this out loud.

She coughed awkwardly and said, "I'll take you for a walk in the garden first, and we'll go on the boat this afternoon."

If there really is something terrible and dirty, we can't let it ruin the old lady's birthday party.

She left with her people, and many people in the yard saw them huddled together and whispering for a while, and then they left with interest on their faces.

The smart ones knew that there must be a big melon to eat, so they followed closely.

The Duke's Mansion is full of people today. Zhou Hanwen and his son have not yet resigned from their official posts nor left the capital, so naturally the women of the Zhou family will come to congratulate the old lady on her birthday.

But the eldest branch was in such a miserable state that Fang Suxin was sent to a manor and Zhou Zhengya was framed and killed by Pei Xiuzhuo.

Without a legitimate wife, Zhou Bingshan's two concubines would find it difficult to leave the house without someone to accompany them.

Old Madam Zhou didn't want to bring shame upon herself, so she asked the daughters-in-law of the second and third wives to bring the younger generations of the family to the Duke's Mansion.

The two ladies of the Zhou family were quite good at socializing. Although they were still a little embarrassed, they were able to shamelessly get together and talk with the ladies they were familiar with from the past.

Some of the girls are shy and always feel that others are looking at them as a joke.

After entering the mansion, several people hid in the garden. Then they saw the Lu sisters coming from afar, and thought about why they had fallen into such a state, and their eyes became red.

"Second sister, are we really going to endure this?"

Zhou Zhengfu, the fourth daughter of the Zhou family, stared at Lu Xinran, wishing she could eat her alive.

Zhou Zhenglian looked at the smiling Lu sisters and felt bitter and angry.

Because of them!

She had originally planned to wait until Zhou Zhengya got married before marrying her cousin, but now her aunt has arranged a marriage for her cousin and the wedding will take place at the end of the year.
