Chapter 54 Taking Lu Wanzhi back to the Marquis Mansion

Meng Ao scratched his head. How could he dare to tell the truth? He wanted to find a different topic, but he happened to see the people on the small boat next to the painting boat.

"Isn't that Sun Ke? Last time we beat him like this, his injury healed so quickly?"

It's not completely dark yet, and the boats on the Quchun River can be seen clearly.

Lu Yunxuan stepped forward and looked at Sun Ke and said, "It's really him!"

Lu Wanzhi looked at Sun Ke on the boat below, and Sun Ke seemed to have seen their boat and looked towards them.

"Master Sun, have you seen this? I didn't lie to you? The prince arranged the boat here today so that Lu Wanzhi and Gu Shiyu of the Gu family could see each other."

Sun Ke frowned and said, "Lu Wanzhi is still my wife. She hasn't reconciled yet, so how dare she be so unruly as a woman? Looking at her outsider?"

And isn’t Gu Shiyu the crown prince of Guhou? The Lu family doesn’t even have an official position now, so why would he agree to meet Lu Wanzhi, a second-married woman?”

The King of Jin said in a cold voice: "Because my father intends to make Lu Wanzhi's father the new prime minister, by then the Lu family will be a member of the prime minister's family again. With the power of the court in hand, will the Gu family not be jealous?

Not to mention the second marriage, even the third and fourth marriages, my crown prince brother will definitely let Lu Wanzhi marry the son of the Gu family and seize power for the East Palace!"

Sun Ke looked horrified, "How is this possible? Lu Wanzhi's father, Ding You, has not been in the court for three years, how can he be the prime minister? Even if he is in the court, he cannot convince the public!"

"Do you really think that my father will let his trusted minister Ding You live for three years?"

The King of Jin smiled coldly, "Lu Teng returned to Yuezhou and was named Ding You. In fact, he was cleaning up the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River for his father. He has made great achievements this time. Are you afraid that he will not be able to become the prime minister?"

Sun Ke was shocked. If he treated Lu Wanzhi like this in the past three years, wouldn't he be hindered in his official career in the future?

Seeing the timidity in Sun Ke's eyes, King Jin said: "If you don't want the Lu family to take revenge in the future, you should coax Lu Wanzhi back home as soon as possible.

If Lu Wanzhi is still Mrs. Hou, the Lu family can bring you more than the current status of minister in the future.

You should bring Lu Wanzhi back to the Sun Mansion as soon as possible, otherwise when the Lu family returns and they want to make peace, you will regret it too late."

Sun Kedao: "I want Lu Wanzhi to go home, but Lu Wanzhi is close to the playboy bully in King Chu's family. I can't get close to Lu Wanzhi. Every time I get close to Lu Wanzhi, I will definitely be beaten by Zhao Heng!"

The King of Jin said: "I don't believe that Zhao Heng dares to beat you in public! When the boat docks, you will take Lu Wanzhi home."

I arranged for the censors to follow us next to the painting boat. If Lu Wanzhi refuses to go home with you, these censors will come out to persuade you about women's ethics and the upbringing of the Lu family.

Lu Wanzhi cannot possibly ignore the reputation of the Lu family."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Sun Ke looked at Lu Wanzhi on the boat, feeling a little more hatred for Liu Yiyi in his heart.

If she hadn't dominated him, he and Lu Wanzhi wouldn't have reached this point.

If Lu Teng is really the prime minister, he must not miss Lu Wanzhi and this powerful in-law in the Lu family.

…

On the ship, Gu Shiyu and Zhao Heng were on the deck.

Gu Shiyu said: "You like Lu Wanzhi? Why don't you tell His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Zhao Heng said: "He didn't ask me. He didn't even know where he had forgotten my younger brother."

Gu Shiyu chuckled and said, "What about Lu Wanzhi? Does she know your thoughts?"

Zhao Heng shook his head.

Gu Shiyu said: "I'm afraid it won't be easy if you want to bring this beauty home, but the Queen Mother will leave tomorrow. You can ask the Queen Mother to make the decision for you to marry her."

Zhao Heng looked at the reflection in the water and said, "But she doesn't like me, and she says whoever marries me will be in bad luck!"

Gu Shiyu chuckled and said, "She's not wrong."

Zhao Heng glared at Gu Shiyu, "Who are you helping?"

Gu Shiyu said: "Lu Wanzhi is known as a dignified, quiet, knowledgeable and talented woman. You are known as a playboy and willful little prince who only loves eating, drinking and having fun. Do you think she can show that she likes you?"

Zhao Heng said: "He will definitely not like me. He likes Shen Luozhi."

Gu Shiyu said: "No, she just doesn't like you on the surface. They, the daughters who were raised in a deep boudoir and are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, have been suppressed by being restricted by the rules at home since they were young.

These wealthy ladies say they like gentle scholars, but in reality they like bohemian dandies."

Zhao Heng looked at Gu Shiyu in confusion and said, "You won't lie to me, right?"

"You are my brother, can I still lie to you?"

Gu Shiyu said, "You can take her to the place where you usually play and let her have fun. Maybe she will be attracted to you."

Zhao Heng asked dubiously: "Are you serious?"

"Seriously, if you don't believe me, go try it."

Zhao Heng went to find Lu Wanzhi, and when he saw them looking at the boat beside them, he also looked along.

When he saw Sun Ke inside, he said angrily: "Sun Ke still dares to come here?"

Zhao Heng took a closer look and saw that there was the fourth prince in the boat. He was even more angry and said: "The fourth prince is also there. They two beasts met together. I got off the boat and gave them a good beating." pause!"

Lu Wanzhi saw the look from Sun Ke in the boat. He was not kind, and he was afraid that he might be in trouble. After a closer look, he found something fishy.

"Don't cause trouble. Look at who is sitting in the boat next to you."

Zhao Heng looked over and said, "It's Yushi Wu and Yushi Lin."

Lu Wanzhi nodded and said: "It seems that King Jin and Sun Kenai are well prepared today. If you are seen leaving by the imperial censor, they will definitely impeach you for provoking trouble and beating up the prince and the second-rank officials. How will your majesty protect you?"

Moreover, this is a poetry gathering organized by the prince, so if you hit someone impulsively, it may also affect the prince."

Zhao Heng snorted: "I'm going to give them an advantage today!"

Lu Yunxuan said nervously: "Sister, what if Sun Ke stops you when you are getting off the boat later and asks you to follow him back to the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion? Then Yushi Lin is famous for being harsh on women, even if the prince is waiting for him Now that you're here, it's hard to stop Sun Ke from letting you go back to the Marquis Wu'an Mansion."

After all, there has been no reconciliation yet. It is only natural that Marquis Wu'an asked his wife to return home. If this matter becomes too big, the prince will not be able to protect Lu Wanzhi.

Lu Hangdao: "Wanzhi, what Xuanxuan said is right. There is a small boat on the bow of this boat. You can row away first."

Zhao Heng was worried that he would not find a chance to take Lu Wanzhi away, so he said: "I will take you away."

Lu Wanzhi also knew that it was better to stay away from the place of right and wrong today and not to fight Sun Ke head-on. "Brother, Xuanxuan, let's go together."

Gu Shiyu said: "We can't leave too many people, lest they become suspicious. Miss Lu, you'd better change clothes with your maid before leaving. This way they won't be suspicious, and they will only think that you are still painting the boat." The above has not left."

Lu Wanzhi thought that was all, so she and Yuzhu went inside and changed their clothes.

After Lu Wanzhi changed her clothes, she and Zhao Heng got on the boat. This boat was specially prepared for the maids and boys who came to the painting boat from the shore.

Lu Wanzhi changed into Yuzhu clothes, and it was dark again, so the two of them left without being noticed by Jin Wang's people.

The rowing skills that Zhao Heng had practiced in the past few days came in handy.

Lu Wanzhi looked at the bright lights on both sides of the Quchun River. There were lanterns everywhere and said: "I have only seen this scene on the third night of the Chinese Valentine's Day, Mid-Autumn Festival and the Lantern Festival. It is so lively here at night."

Zhao Heng said: "This is the famous city that never sleeps. When we get to the front, we will get off the boat and go ashore. I will take you to see it."

Lu Wanzhi has lived in Chang'an for nearly twenty years, and has indeed never experienced the city's night scene during non-festival periods, but she happily followed Zhao Heng off the ship.

After landing on the shore, Zhao Heng directly pulled Lu Wanzhi's sleeve and headed towards the gambling house.

The gambling house was brightly lit, with a string of large lanterns in front of the door, and a palace full of palace lanterns inside, as bright as day.

Zhao Heng remembered Gu Shiyu's words, gave Lu Wanzhi a good show, and pulled her inside.

Lu Wanzhi only saw the words "Jubaolou" written on the door, and thought it was some kind of restaurant. When she entered, she realized it was a gambling house. The inside was filled with smoke and alcohol, and there were all kinds of sounds.

As soon as Lu Wanzhi stepped inside, she frowned.

Zhao Heng said: "This is my favorite place to play at night. Would you like to play a few games of dice with me?"

Lu Wanzhi frowned and looked at Zhao Heng and said: "As a student of Qinglan Academy, you are not allowed to gamble!"

Zhao Heng said: "Gu Shiyu told me that on the surface you are dignified and well-educated young people, but in fact you like to be unruly. Just play two games!"

Lu Wanzhi's frown deepened, "Do you want to play on your own and use Gu Shiyu as an excuse? Remember, as long as you are a student of Qinglan Academy, you are not allowed to enter the gambling house."

"Little Prince, I haven't seen you for almost a month. I miss you so much. Are you playing leaf cards or dice today?"

The boy from the gambling house walked up to Zhao Heng and said.

It's true that Zhao Heng hadn't played for a long time and his hands were itchy, but after seeing the disappointed look in Lu Wanzhi's eyes, he kept saying, "I don't want to play with anything anymore."

Lu Wanzhi smiled at Zhao Heng and said, "A child can be taught, and I am very happy to be a teacher."
