The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

Lu Zhaoyun was simply shocked.

"How to replace it?"

"Let me be the second prince's concubine, because I am actually the eldest in our family. If it were me, I would not be a slave's daughter, and I would not be deceiving the emperor." Lu Rulian said.

Lu Zhaoyun widened his eyes and just stared at Lu Rulian.

She was so shocked that she didn't know where to start cursing.

Lu Rulian added, "If the emperor and the second prince can agree, then our family's matter this time will be over."

Lu Zhaoyun finally reacted and she pushed Lu Rulian hard.

"Are you crazy!"

"What do you think an arranged marriage is? Is it a joke? Can you change the marriage partner of the royal family just because you want to?"

"Even if we need to replace him, we have to replace him with someone who is presentable! Don't you know what kind of person you are?"

"Lu Rulian! You are the secret child of my second uncle and third aunt before they got married! How dare you say that you are the oldest girl in the Lu family? Have you forgotten how the villagers scolded you when you were a child?"

What glory can there be in a child born before marriage?

Even if Lu Laosan and Guan got married later, Lu Rulian would always be older than her parents, which was ridiculous!

"Also, how can your father compare to my father? Your father is a real country bumpkin! You are even worse than Lu Zhaoling. With someone like you, what right do you have to replace me?"

Lu Zhaoyun was going crazy.

What on earth do the people in the Lu family think?

What are their brains made of?

"How dare you!" Lu Zhaoyun's voice became much sharper, "If you don't dare, the emperor will chop all of you off!"

It would be fine if they didn't say anything. Now that things have come to this, the emperor hasn't punished them for such a long time. Maybe the second prince is pleading for them. But if the old Lu family dared to say such a ridiculous plan, it would definitely anger the emperor.

"Do you think anyone can replace me? It's me. The Second Prince and I are in love. Otherwise, with the threshold of the Lu family, how can I marry the Second Prince?"

Lu Rulian did not refute her at first and just let her scream.

It was not until Lu Zhaoyun said the last sentence that Lu Rulian spoke softly.

"But Zhaoyun, why are you so in love with the Second Prince? Have you forgotten that it was me who met the Second Prince first?"

Lu Zhaoyun's voice sounded as if it was strangled by a hand.

She looked at Lu Rulian in shock.

Did Lu Rulian know? Did she know that the young boy was the Second Prince?

Didn't she know his identity?

"You seem surprised." Lu Rulian stood up slowly, "Do you think I don't know? You have already taken my things."

That year, on a rainy night, the little girl who gave the second prince warmth was Lu Rulian, not Lu Zhaoyun at all.

At that time, Lu Rulian happened to go to Beijing.

When Lu Rulian and Lu Zhaoyun were young, they looked very similar. At that time, Lu Rulian even borrowed Lu Zhaoyun's clothes.

In the past, Lu Zhaoyun would always dislike the clothes she borrowed and finally gave them to her. After all, the clothes that Lu Zhaoyun was willing to lend out were those that she herself didn't like very much and were already old.

But a few days after that night, Lu Zhaoyun came to her to ask for the dress back, and gave her a new silk flower for it.

Lu Rulian was quite touched at that time.

Later, she saw Lu Zhaoyun wearing that dress again, with the same double buns as she had that day. She thought that Zhaoyun thought she looked good in that outfit.

Lu Zhaoyun looked pale and tremblingly looked at Lu Rulian.

No, no, how would she know?

Lu Rulian looked at her frightened expression and suddenly smiled.

"Zhao Yun, actually, I don't want to be a concubine to the Second Prince. I also know that this is impossible. But my family is dreaming. Second Uncle has been an official in the capital for so many years, but his idea is still so ridiculous. He really has not made any progress."

Lu Zhaoyun looked at her and always felt that Lu Rulian's smile was a little weird.

Besides, when will it be Lu Rulian's turn to despise and ridicule her father? Her father is respected and admired by the entire Lu family. He is the only person in the family who serves as an official in Beijing!

"So, Zhaoyun, help me pick one among the merchants in the capital. Which one is of good family background and good character, worthy of my marriage? If you show me a clear path, I will take the secret of that rainy night into my coffin and never tell anyone. I also promise not to compete with you for the second prince."

Lu Rulian lowered her voice, moved closer to her, and said very seriously, "I came here for this purpose only."

Lu Zhaoyun was stunned.

"You don't want the second prince, but want to marry a merchant?"

Are you so pessimistic?

"Yes, this is my own choice. I just want to live a rich life."

She was not familiar with the capital, and her family was in such a mess, and her second uncle was charged with such a serious crime. Even if she returned to the countryside now, she would not be able to escape if the emperor really wanted to punish her.

It would be better to quickly choose a husband for yourself.

Ordinary families don’t hold wedding ceremonies, they just hold a ceremony at home and exchange engagement cards.

Lu Zhaoyun should be able to find someone suitable for her, right?

"You have to think it over. I'm married to a stable family and won't cause you any trouble in the future. But if you want to find an ugly man and push me into the fire pit, then I..."

Lu Zhaoyun blurted out subconsciously, "If we talk about the best, it's of course the Sun family, the eldest son of the Sun family, Sun Yanyan!"

Sun family!

Lu Rulian pinched her immediately.

"Do you really want to hurt me?"

Of course, the Sun family had good conditions, she knew that. But Lu Zhaoling's Cui residence was given to the Sun family for renovation, which meant that Lu Zhaoling was also familiar with the eldest son of the Sun family.

She is so close to their circle, and even after she gets married she will be at the center of the vortex!

"Something more ordinary!"

Lu Zhaoyun could only think about it again and introduced her to several suitable families.

"Okay, I'll go check on these companies. Do you need me to take any message out for you? I'll help you with that."

Lu Zhaoyun was overjoyed and said quickly, "Tell An Rong to rescue me, and I can give him one thousand taels!"

One thousand taels? She actually secretly saved one thousand taels?

The Lu family is now extremely poor, but Lu Zhaoyun still has one thousand taels?

Then Lu Anrong would indeed be tempted at this time.

At dusk, Yin Yunting took an oil-paper umbrella, got on a carriage, and went to Zheng's house.

Lu Zhaoling did not go with them.

This kind of small matter can be handled by the senior disciple alone. Besides, he also got Zheng Ying's hairpin magic weapon, so it is his turn to repay the favor.

She wanted to draw the talismans carefully and save them for use in the border town.

She would make good use of the cinnabar that Zhou Shiyue gave her last time to draw top-quality talismans.

"Master, we're here."

Moqi lifted the car curtain.

Yin Yunting got off the carriage holding the oil-paper umbrella.

Some people around looked over curiously. How could such a magnificent carriage come to their place?
