Qingyin and Qingbao both felt sorry for Lu Zhaoling.

"Miss, why don't you tell the truth?"

"Not yet."

Lu Zhaoling shook her head. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to say it, but the time was not right.

Even if she regained her status as the eldest daughter, what would that bring? She still didn't know what Lu Zhaoyun was going to do first, so she might as well wait until she figured it out before speaking out.

She is sometimes quite mean and likes to ruin everything for others when they are just one step away from getting it.

Of course, if he wasn't an enemy, she wouldn't treat him like this.

"Does Miss Lu know about this?"

Qingyin now feels that she can't even call Lu Zhaoyun "Miss".

Obviously, the eldest daughter is the daughter of their family.

The higher the family status, the more importance is attached to the eldest son. For example, in the royal family, the eldest son may be the legitimate crown prince. This is very important.

Lu Zhaoling herself didn't care, but Qingyin and Qingbao were furious.

"Lu Zhaoyun should know."

Well, you know you are the younger sister, but you always act like the elder sister in front of the young lady!

Qing Bao wanted to roll up his sleeves, "Miss, if I am not polite to her in the future, will you punish me?"

Phew.

Lu Zhaoling couldn't help but laugh. This girl.

"No punishment. You were sent by the Prince of Jin's Mansion after all. Don't think of yourself as a servant of the Lu family. You are different from them."

It's okay to be arrogant when necessary.

After hearing what Lu Zhaoling said, the two maids felt relieved.

Lu Zhaoling was just thinking about going to the newly bought house to take a look around and see how to clean it up when Sun Yingying and Gu Qing came along.

In addition to the two of them, there was another girl, whom Lu Zhaoling had met before, Miss Lin Yiru from the Lin family.

As soon as he saw Lin Yiru, Lu Zhaoling frowned slightly.

When I saw Lin Yiru before, she was still a pretty girl like a flower bud, but why does she look so dead now?

Anyone could see that something was wrong with Lin Yiru.

Because her face was pale and gray, her eyes were dull, and her expression was wooden, which was completely different from before.

It was Sun Yingying who dragged Lin Yiru here.

Originally, she had been too busy with her cousin's affairs these days to take care of other things. Gu Qing came to her house and told her about her cousin's uncle, and the two of them started talking about Qing Fuhou and Zhu Minghao.

Sun Yingying suddenly thought of her good friend. With Zhu Minghao in this state now, wouldn’t the Lin family have to cancel the engagement?

So she and Gu Qing hurried to the Lin Mansion, but unexpectedly, they saw Lin Yiru like this.

Lin Yiru looked uninspired even when talking to them. Sun Yingying and Gu Qing immediately felt something was wrong. They thought of Lu Zhaoling and quickly pulled Lin Yiru out.

"Sister Zhaoling, please take a look at Yiru. Did she touch anything dirty?" As soon as Sun Yingying came in, she quickly pushed Lin Yiru in front of Lu Zhaoling.

Gu Qing immediately added, "Aunt said she hasn't been out for the past few days and can't eat."

Lu Zhaoling looked at Lin Yiru.

Lin Yiru's eyes fell blankly on her face.

"Ms. Lin, what's wrong with you?" Lu Zhaoling asked softly.

Sun Yingying was a little impatient. "We kept asking her on the way if she felt uncomfortable or unhappy, and whether it was because of Zhu Minghao's matter. She said no."

Gu Qing gently tugged at her sleeve, signaling her to let Lin Yiru answer herself.

What if Miss Lu just wanted to observe from Lin Yiru's reaction?

Sun Yingying immediately covered her mouth to indicate that she would not interrupt.

But Lin Yiru didn't say anything, just shook her head gently.

Qingyin and Qingbao brought hot tea over. When they saw Lin Yiru's expression, they looked at each other and felt something was wrong.

"Have some tea first. Did you run all the way in here?"

Lu Zhaoling asked them to sit down and have tea.

Seeing that they were a little out of breath just now, I knew that they had hurriedly run from the gate to Tingnuan Building.

Her calmness calmed Sun Yingying down a bit.

Lin Yiru also sat down with them, but did not drink tea. She put her hands on the table, pinched her fingers, lowered her head and did not speak.

Although Sun Yingying was anxious, she calmed down after receiving Lu Zhaoling's look of "calm down" and picked up the teacup to drink tea.

"Ms. Gu, how are your cousin's family doing?" Lu Zhaoling asked Gu Qing first.

When he heard her ask about this, Gu Qing quickly sat up straight and said, "My cousin will probably come to ask you for help."

Lu Zhaoling nodded, "I can go to his house to take a look when the time comes."

After saying these two sentences and giving Lin Yiru a break, Lu Zhaoling looked at her and spoke again.

"Could it be that Miss Lin has met someone from the Qingfu Marquis's residence these days?"

Lin Yiru suddenly raised her head and looked at her. Her expression finally changed and was no longer so dull.

"It seems that my guess was right? Did you meet the Marquis or the Marquis's wife?" Lu Zhaoling asked.

Qing Fuhou was already unlucky, and he had some bad luck on him, and so did Lin Yiru.

Because Zhu Minghao and she were engaged, they were almost going to get married, but now Zhu Minghao was in prison, and the wedding date originally set by the two families could not be held, and he could not be released from prison.

She also guessed that people from the Marquis' Mansion would go to the Lin family.

"Didn't my aunt say that the Marquis's wife discussed with them about postponing the wedding date?" Sun Yingying couldn't help but speak.

Lin Yiru's tears suddenly burst out.

"They originally discussed this with my parents, and they said they would consider it. In fact, my family wanted to cancel the engagement."

Once she cried, she was finally able to speak normally. It seemed that she had problems holding it in before.

"But the Marquis came to me privately. He hoped that I could help him rescue Zhu Minghao. He couldn't really let him stay in jail for a year."

Gu Qing was surprised and puzzled, "But how can you help with this kind of thing?"

The Lin family's status is no match for the Qingfu Marquis' Mansion. In the past, the Marquis' Mansion looked down on the Lin family, but now that something has happened, they want the Lin family's help again.

"The Marquis asked me to have a serious illness when I was about to reach the age of 15. Then my parents would ask the Emperor to let me get married as scheduled. The Emperor might relent and release Zhu Minghao in advance so that he and I could get married."

"How ridiculous!" Sun Yingying slammed the table and stood up.

How shameless is this?

In order to get Zhu Minghao out, Lin Yiru had to pretend to be sick, extremely sick, and Lin's parents had to come forward and ask the emperor for help.

Lin Yiru's lifelong event is going to be turned into a wedding for good luck! How unlucky!

Moreover, she wanted a husband who had just come out of prison.

This husband was imprisoned for the crime of robbing a girl.

Thinking of this, Sun Yingying looked at Lu Zhaoling awkwardly.

The one they were fighting for was the one in front of them.

Gu Qing couldn't believe it either, "You agreed?"
