Chapter 218 If you are not afraid of embarrassment, just do as you please
Zhao clenched her hands tightly, knowing that Pei was forcing her to express her opinion, but she just didn't want to bother with that damn girl!
It was Kong who smiled and took the initiative to break the silence in the room.
"Mother, you also know that my husband and I have always been grateful to the second young lady. Her marriage is urgent, and we should put her first in everything. I will send the dowry list prepared for Xintong and Xinling later.
"Look at the list and see which ones can be given to the second girl, and we'll take them all out.
"Xintong and Xinling are still young, there is still time to reorganize these."
Zhao always felt that her words were directed to herself.
Her biological mother was still sitting here, so what did Kong, as her aunt, mean by deliberately saying these things? Was she trying to embarrass her or to provoke her into spending her family fortune?
She was dissatisfied in her heart, but she pursed her lips and refused to say a word.
She didn't want to give away the good things she had prepared for her precious daughter to that dead girl for nothing.
Seeing her like a fighting cock, Pei couldn't help but sigh, "Big brother's wife, that child is your biological daughter!"
It is said that mother and daughter are connected by heart, so why did she only see the hostility between them in this mother and daughter?
Zhao turned her head away, not wanting to admit that that was her biological daughter.
"Mom, look at what she has done in the past six months since she returned to Beijing!
"She ruined Yuanheng's marriage, snatched Xinlan's husband, and now she wants to steal her dowry.
"Mom, Xinlan is the child I raised by my side. If you don't love her, I do!
"She has lost her status as the eldest daughter of the Lu family. I can't let her lose even her own dowry."
Thinking that her precious daughter had become a stranger out of nowhere, her heart felt tight and uncomfortable.
Knowing that she was getting into a dead end again, Pei rubbed her brows in pain.
"Okay, it's up to you. If you think that you and Xinran don't have to be mother and daughter in this life, and you won't be able to ask her for help in the future, then just pretend that I never said anything today.
"My dowry is still here. I'll take it all out and buy it for the girl."
After she finished speaking, she waved her hand, indicating that Zhao could leave. She was too lazy to look at this stupid woman anymore.
Zhao felt aggrieved, "Mom, what are you talking about?
"She, it's not that we don't have money in our house, we just need to buy a little dowry from the public funds.
"When Xintong and Xinling get married in the future, I will give them lots of dowry."
Anyway, she couldn't use her money directly to buy a dowry for that dead girl.
That damn girl has been acting like she doesn't want to talk to her until now, so why should she take the initiative to approach her!
It's not her who needs to prepare a dowry and get married in style.
Pei continued to wave her hands weakly. This stupid daughter-in-law was really hopeless.
"Okay, go back now. Don't worry about these things. My second son's wife and I will take care of it.
"But think about it carefully. No matter what you do about her, with her temper, she will definitely not kneel to you when she says goodbye to her parents on her wedding day.
"If you are not afraid of losing face, then do as you please."
Zhao pulled the handkerchief tightly. Wouldn’t that damn girl say goodbye to her when she got married?
Thinking of that scene, she subconsciously frowned again. This was exactly the kind of thing that dead girl would do.
But, but she was really unwilling to give her money and effort like this.
Lu Xinlan stood in front of the door and listened for a long time. In the end, she did not choose to go in. She nodded slightly to Aunt Xu and left quietly.
Zhao has always been stubborn and prone to rebellion.
The more others try to persuade her about something she is unwilling to do, the more rebellious she will become and she will refuse to listen.
She should wait a few days until she can get out of this dilemma.
Lu Xinran returned to the room, took off his coat and fell asleep.
It was almost evening when she finally got up from the bed with satisfaction. Cuizhu brought back dinner from the big kitchen. While eating, she opened Song Junyan's booklet, treating him as an electronic pickled mustard tuber.
This guy really doesn’t want to be emperor?
She flipped through the booklet carefully again in disbelief.
"Tongzi, after my sister came here, her booklet is no longer valid, right?"
"Yes, her part was influenced by the plot of the original book, and she can't tell what is true and what is false."
The system thought of this outrageous bug and immediately sent a message to the main brain.
Why hasn’t the mastermind solved such a serious problem until now!
Lu Xinran rubbed his chin and thought for a long time before asking him uncertainly.
"So do you think Song Junyan's booklet is accurate now? He is the male protagonist in the book, right? Now he is going to marry me, and the plot of this book is completely broken."
The system shook and the screen frame shook as well.
"This... wait for me to get feedback from the Mastermind."
It said this and went to harass the main brain. Lu Xinran sighed softly, picked up the soup bowl and put it down in disgust.
Fish soup tastes terrible when it’s cold!
The mansion given to Song Junyan had already been built. The design drawings were discussed by the Ministry of Works together with him, and were completed after constant consultation with him.
He moved from the palace to the prince's palace on the night of his coming-of-age ceremony, and the palace servants who had served him before also left the palace with him.
Song Junyan sat in the study, hesitating whether to choose this as the place to meet Lu Xinran.
The palace covers a large area, and he can ensure that all her thoughts will not be heard by outsiders after she comes in.
He also wanted her to see their future...home as soon as possible.
This will be their residence for a very long time in the future. He hopes that not only he but also the hostess will like every tree and blade of grass here.
Thinking of this, he instantly came up with an idea and asked Ding San to find an opportunity to pick the person up the next day.
Lu Xinran did not receive any good news from the system the next morning. It replied to her listlessly in her mind.
"The mastermind said that the specific error can only be known after a careful investigation, so we should not rush."
"No rush means it will take a long time, that's what I mean."
The system hummed weakly and immediately got up.
How embarrassing! It's a useless child, boohoo~
Lu Xinran felt a headache from its artificial crying. She rubbed her forehead and got up just after breakfast when she heard a servant come to report that someone had handed her a token at the back door of the Lu Mansion, saying that she would know what it was after receiving it.
She took the jade pendant in a daze, and after thinking for a long time, she remembered that this was the one Song Junyan wore around his waist at the coming-of-age ceremony yesterday.
She had a rare moment of inspiration and realized that it was Song Junyan who sent someone to pick her up.
She asked the maid to help her change clothes, asked Tracy to send someone to Zhaoyun Courtyard to report, and then took them straight to the back door.
The Lu Mansion is not far from the Prince of Wei's Mansion, only two streets away.
The carriage entered the palace from the back door and stopped outside a corner gate.
"Miss Lu, we're here."
So fast?
The curtain was lifted, Lu Xinran stood up and jumped out of the carriage, only to find that this was not the yard where they met last time.
"This is?"
"This is the Prince of Wei's mansion. The master has not returned from court yet. Before leaving, he specifically told you that you can walk around freely here and look wherever you want."
