Now that you're reborn, who would still keep a mistress for their scumbag husband?

In the carriage, Dou Jinzhao leaned in the car and listened to Luoxia talking about Lu Changting and her partner's meeting with Guo Xiao and Xu Chen.

"It seems that Miss Lu was instigated by Miss Dou Er to go to Mei Xin Pavilion in the back mountain to meet General Guo. But I think the relationship between General Guo and General Xu seems a little strange!" Luoxia really couldn't describe the strangeness.

Dou Jinzhao smiled and said, "You are quite perceptive. Yes, they do have a very special relationship. Do you feel like a couple?"

"Ah!" Luoxia exclaimed, "Yes, the kind of loving couple, could it be... Oh my God, our eldest girl shouldn't know, this... Isn't the second Miss Dou trying to push our eldest girl into the fire pit?"

Dou Jinzhao also sighed, "Let's wait and see, there are some things that I am not suitable to say now."

In the entire Lu family, no one was willing to listen to her. In the eyes of Lu Changyuan and the old lady, she was good for nothing. Compared with Dou Miaojin, she was just a useless woman in a secluded house.

What's more, on the surface, Guo Xiao is much better than Liu Jing. Liu Jing is just a weak scholar, while Guo Xiao is a military general who will become Lu Changyuan's right-hand man in the future. However, he is the second prince's man.

This time, the emperor will probably send Guo Xiao to stop the attack of Southern Chen, and the battle of Southern Shu will probably fall on Guo Xiao's shoulders.

Guo Xiao didn't know that there was a problem with the 500 horses that Lu Changyuan brought back. These horses were currently mixed into the Xiaomatan Horse Farm, which was the closest place to Nanshu. Guo Xiao's horses for the war would be requisitioned from here.

There is no doubt that at this time, the horses in Xiaomatan Horse Farm should be infected by the 500 stallions. If Guo Xiao is lucky, the horse plague will break out earlier; if he is unlucky, the horse plague may break out after all the horses have been recruited, which would be terrible.

One person's nectar is another person's poison. Dou Jinzhao couldn't help but be dazed. Who could have thought that after she was reborn, she would have a life-and-death situation with Lu Changyuan in this life.

After Dou Miaojin and the Lu family's carriage entered the inner street of Wanshengmen, they separated. Lu Changting walked in front of Dou Jinzhao, and when Dou Jinzhao returned to the Lu family, she had already gone to Xuancaotang.

"Mother, that Liu Jing is very dull. When he saw me, he couldn't even speak clearly. What's the point of having such a person? If I marry him in the future, he won't be able to help my brother if he has any problems. What good will such an in-law bring to the Duke Dingguo Mansion?"

As soon as Dou Jinzhao came in, he heard Lu Changting's words and felt that they made sense.

Lu Changyuan was also there, sitting on one side with his hands on his knees. He looked unhappy. He glanced at Dou Jinzhao and then looked away.

Dou Jinzhao ignored him, walked forward, bowed, and sat down opposite him.

Originally, according to etiquette, she should sit below Lu Changyuan, but the Lu family is no longer a place that observes etiquette, and she didn't want to be so close to Lu Changyuan.

The lady also noticed it, her eyebrows jumped, and her face was cold, "Have you seen Liu Jing, that child?"

Is this to provoke her?

Dou Jinzhao had a blank expression on his face. "I've seen him before. I think he's okay. He's tall and a little thin. But for a scholar, he's thin, handsome, and seems to know how to behave."

Lu Changting was annoyed and said angrily, "That's what you think. If you think it's good, just marry her!"

Dou Jinzhao laughed and glanced at Lu Changyuan.

Lu Changyuan shouted angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Lu Changting felt so wronged that she wanted to cry, "It's obviously not what she said. What's so good about Liu Jing? He's just like a wooden stake."

Dou Jinzhao knew Lu Changting's thoughts very well. "Mr. Liu is a scholar. Naturally, he would not say provocative words like some people do, or even say some unbearable words to arouse the hearts of girls."

Lu Changting felt that her thoughts were discovered, her face turned pale, and she stared at her and said, "I don't know what you are talking about. Anyway, I will not marry Mr. Liu. I would rather die than marry such a person."

The Madam was not sure whether this was the Queen's intention, so she asked again, "You went to see Master Liu today, what did he do?"

Dou Jinzhao hesitated for a moment, "Mr. Liu is a man of integrity and loyalty."

In his previous life, Liu Jing and his wife were deeply in love and affectionate.

Lu Changyuan felt as if he had been stabbed when he heard this. "You only met him once, how do you know that he is loyal and righteous?"

Lu Changting also echoed, "Yeah, did he tell you?"

Dou Jinzhao didn't want to deal with such people any more. "Mother, this marriage has already fallen through. It's meaningless to discuss whether Mr. Liu is good or bad now."

The lady was surprised and said, "How could it fail? This is the first time we met today."

Dou Jinzhao felt that he had an obligation to make things clear so that he would not be framed in the future. After all, the Queen's intention was involved.

"When we met today, Sister Changting invited the second Miss Dou as well. Madam Liu was very disapproving of it. Not only was she unhappy with this marriage, she also humiliated me." Dou Jinzhao had no intention of saving face for the Lu family and spoke bluntly without any euphemism.

Lu Changyuan's face turned pale and blue, and he felt a little embarrassed.

The old lady was silent for a long time. She had lived for most of her life and was buried up to her neck in the earth. Of course, she understood how against etiquette it was to marry a concubine and how people would look down on her.

I didn’t feel the pain before, but now I feel it, but the imperial decree has been issued.

Lu Changting rushed to Dou Jinzhao and said, "I am taking Miao Jin with me. What does this have to do with marriage? If you don't want my brother to marry Miao Jin, just say so. Why are you dragging me into this? It's me who looks down on Liu Jing, not the Liu family."

"That's perfect!" Dou Jinzhao couldn't tolerate Lu Changting's temper anymore. "You look down on her, and she looks down on you too. What else is there to say!"

Lu Changting said angrily, "What are you talking about? Why does she look down on me?"

"Dou Miaojin hasn't married yet. Even if she does, she'll be a co-wife. You're so anxious to invite her over, especially during the marriage negotiations. What will others think?

"Who would be so bold as to marry a girl who has no knowledge of etiquette and knows nothing about the world and be the first wife?" Dou Jinzhao asked directly.

Being ignorant of worldly affairs means that Madam Liu is also the legitimate wife. Who would be willing to deal with a co-wife?

The lady understood, Lu Changyuan also understood, but Lu Changting didn't understand.

The lady was coughing violently, holding her chest, her heart was broken. Lu Changyuan and his sister became anxious. One handed her water while the other brought her medicine. It took a long time for her to catch her breath.

"Jinzhao, Miaojin's marriage is a foregone conclusion. I have already told Changyuan that you should consummate your marriage as soon as possible and give birth to a legitimate son. This mansion will still be able to rely on you in the future." There was no smile in the old lady's eyes.

Dou Jinzhao was stabbed again, and she fought back mercilessly, "Mother, you don't have to be anxious and angry. Sister Changting has found a man of her dreams, and I will not interfere in this matter anymore."
