Chapter 99 Uncle Shen Xiao's Mansion Can't Fall in Its Name
Lu Jing bluntly refused in front of Mrs. Ning.
Mrs. Ning's expression, which had softened, suddenly froze.
There was still some confusion on her aged face.
She really couldn't understand that in this Lu Mansion Chunze Zhai, she just said something casually. It was just that Lu Jing didn't want to invite Mr. Zhong Yubai to come to Lu Mansion. He just had to pick up her words.
, it doesn’t hurt to put it down gently.
But Lu Jing refused directly without any hesitation, leaving Mrs. Ning, who was usually offered high in the Lu family, not knowing how to react.
Mrs. Zhong also frowned and was about to reprimand.
But then he heard Lu Jingdao: "Mr. Zhong Yubai and I are gentlemen's friends. We talk more about the elegant things of the world and don't get involved in the trivial matters of this world.
It is for this reason that Mr. Yu Bai invited me to drink wine out of gentlemanly friendship."
"If the old lady had given this order before Mr. Zhong Yubai became an official, it would have been okay for me to invite Mr. Zhong Yubai to my house for a reunion. But now that Mr. Zhong has become an official, the old lady has to be the host to invite him.
Mansion.
I naturally know that the old lady has no other intentions and is just admiring talents. But if outsiders see it, they will probably say that I am seeking profit, or that the Lu family wants to take advantage of the power of the court official to do something flattering. This is all for nothing.
The title of my God, Uncle Xiao’s Mansion.”
Lu Jing stood in the Chunze Zhaitang and said these words.
His voice was not loud, but his tone revealed firmness, and there was some worry in his eyes, as if he was really thinking about the name of Uncle Shenxiao's Mansion.
Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Zhong were so choked by these words that they didn't know what to say.
They also vaguely heard what Lu Jing was saying.
But Lu Jing's words happened to be so beautiful that people couldn't find anything to criticize.
Because they had taken the title of gentleman, Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Zhong became angry because of these words, which confirmed that they were villains who were trying to defeat the powerful.
Even Lin Rendong couldn't help but smile, and then quickly restrained it.
Lu Qiong nodded repeatedly, stroking her hands and smiling: "Brother Jing is still thoughtful. Since we are friends between gentlemen, we can't let anything else get involved."
Everyone else in Chunze Zhai also looked at Lu Jing.
I really don’t know where Lu Jing got the courage to say such a thing.
Mrs. Zhou, whose eyes were full of expectation, took a deep breath and lowered her head.
Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Zhong were silent for a long time.
Mrs. Ning's old brows and eyes were closed, as if she was tired.
Mrs. Zhong was angry at the innuendo in Lu Jing's words, but because Mrs. Ning had just spoken to take over the matter of late-night drinking, she could no longer make an issue out of it.
So she could only wave her sleeves: "Okay, what you said makes sense. In that case, just wait for some time before inviting me."
Lu Jing saluted again and was about to return to the table and take a seat.
Mrs. Zhong seemed to suddenly remember something. With the light in her eyes surging, she said casually: "By the way, Lu Jing...someone reminded me in the past few days that you are about to enter the Duke of Nanguo's mansion. There is naturally no shortage of people in the Duke of Nanguo's mansion."
Maid, since you want to enter the Duke's Mansion, I'm afraid it won't be good if you bring the maid from the Lu Mansion there..."
Mrs. Zhong said it as soon as she said it.
Ning Qiang and Lin Lonicera also lowered their heads.
They have known about this matter for a long time, but now that Mrs. Zhong mentioned it in front of Chunze Hall, she wanted to make this matter come true!
Lu Jing also has to face this sneaky trick!
Lu Qiong, who was next to Mrs. Ning, suddenly opened her eyes wide, with a trace of unbearability flashing in her eyes.
Lu Qiong usually likes to hang out with those maids, and she has many uses for them.
After saving others by himself, he remembered that Lu Jing and Qing Yue had been dependent on each other for many years.
It was fine for the mansion to send Lu Jing to marry into his wife, but it would be too cruel to separate Lu Jing and Qing Yue.
He couldn't bear it, so he asked Mrs. Zhong for mercy.
But at this moment, Mrs. Zhong said with seriousness: "Lu Jing, I know the friendship between you and Qing Yue, it would be very sad if they separated, but if you think about it, Qing Yue is a brilliant person, even if you can lead
When she went to the Nanguo Duke's Mansion, an outsider like Qingyue would have to suffer a lot of grievances in the Duke's Mansion.
Instead of doing this, it is better to let her stay in Lu Mansion. When you leave the house, I will find a good job for Qing Yue in the house, so you don't have to worry.
Qingyue has served you for many years, and it is a blessing from you to finally receive such a benefit."
All the ladies and gentlemen present, even the dejected Mrs. Zhu, could not help but feel chilled when they heard Mrs. Zhong’s words!
Mrs. Zhong's words were true. She would not let Qing Yue follow Lu Jing out of the house. If Lu Jing was reluctant to stop him, Lu Jing would be known as ruthless.
Qing Yue, who was dependent on Lu Jing, could have a better place, but because of Lu Jing's selfishness, she had to go to the Nanguo Duke's Mansion to suffer...
In just a few words, Lu Jing blocked many of Lu Jing's escape routes and left himself with many excuses.
No matter how Lu Jing reacts, he will fall into Mrs. Zhong's words.
At this moment, Ning Qiang also thought of Qing Yue in the small courtyard, and her heart became even more sad.
She and Lin Rendong went to the small courtyard many times, and every time she could see that Lu Jing and Qing Yue really loved each other.
Qingyue was so provocative. If she really wanted to leave Lu Jing, she only needed to meet the elders of the Lu family. Even Lu Jing, an unpopular bastard, wouldn't be able to stop her.
But the two of them came out of poverty and never left each other.
But now...
Ning Qiang thought of this and turned to look at Mrs. Zhou in the distance.
I saw Mrs. Zhou gritting her teeth at this moment, with pleasure clearly shining in her eyes!
They also know that Qing Yue is extremely important to Lu Jing.
Because it is so important, it makes sense to ask Lu Jing to repay his debt this time!
Mrs. Zhong also looked down at Lu Jing, waiting for Lu Jing's reply.
In fact, she doesn't have much resentment towards the current Lu Jing, but only indifference.
Ignore Lu Jing's identity.
Ignore Lu Jing's mood.
Ignore what will happen to Lu Jing if Qing Yue leaves.
Everything about Lu Jing has nothing to do with her.
Just when many people have something in mind.
Lu Jing, who had already turned around, slowly turned around again.
At this moment, Lu Jing's expression was different.
Although Lu Jing's expression was calm just now, something flashed across his face occasionally.
But when Lu Jing turned around again, there was no expression on his face!
He looked up at Mrs. Zhong, carefully watched Mrs. Zhong's breathing time, and frowned slightly at Mrs. Zhong.
It was only then that a smile appeared on Lu Jing's face.
Lu Jing smiled slightly and said, "Originally, I wanted to wait until after the banquet before discussing this matter with the two elders, but now my mother actually mentioned it, so there is no need to wait until after the banquet."
"This matter is also about Qing Yue. I don't know when Princess Chong'an took a look at Qing Yue. She seemed to like Qing Yue very much, so she sent the girl Rou Shui over to ask for Qing Yue from me."
Lu Jing looked calm and always had a smile on his face: "Although Qingyue has been in our courtyard for many years, her body deed is still in the hands of my mother. I can't be the master. I want to ask the old lady and my mother.
.
Princess Chongan asks for Qingyue... should she give it or not?"
Lu Jing said eloquently!
There were even more doubts in everyone's mind.
Even Ning Qiang and Lin Rendong didn't know whether this was true or false.
Mrs. Ning opened her eyes and saw the smile on Lu Jing's face. She also didn't understand that if the princess asked for Qing Yue, she would naturally leave Lu Jing. Why is Lu Jing still so happy?
So Mrs. Ning was about to ask.
But I saw a young girl walking outside Chunzezhai.
The girl's appearance was ordinary, nothing out of the ordinary.
But when she walked into Chunze Zhai, Mrs. Ning had a smile on her face.
Everyone also looked at the girl, wondering why she had not traveled with the princess to visit her today.
She is the Roushui girl next to Princess Chong'an.
Miss Roushui entered Chunze Zhai.
Mrs. Zhong invited her to take a seat. A trace of doubt flashed in Mrs. Ning's eyes, but she said with a smile on her face: "Miss Roushui is here, but the princess has some orders?"
Rou Shui saluted the old lady and said respectfully: "Old lady, I came here to bother you because of a trivial matter. It's a bit rude to say it. The princess likes Qing Yue in Mr. Jing's courtyard very much. She was with Mr. Jing that day.
I asked for it, but Mr. Jing couldn’t make up his mind, so he had to order me to come and ask the old lady.”
Rou Shui said this, paused and then said: "Anyway, it is a trivial matter. If the old lady is not willing, the princess has also said, don't force it..."
"Forcing? How can it be forced?" Mrs. Ning smiled with a smile on her face and shook her head: "The princess has such an invitation, but she has never treated me, Lu Mansion, as an outsider, just a maid, so how can she let the princess's words fall into dust?
"
As Mrs. Ning spoke, she glanced at Mrs. Zhong lightly.
Mrs. Zhong quickly turned around and whispered to her girl Dongzhu.
Dongzhu hurried away, but within half a quarter of an hour, he took a yellowed piece of paper in his hand.
The yellowed paper still had a fresh seal printed on it, and there were also two or three bright red fingerprints.
"This is Qing Yue's body contract. Please keep it safe, Miss Rou Shui."
Mrs. Zhong walked down the jade platform with a smile and handed the deed to Miss Rou Shui.
Mrs. Ning was also smiling at this time, and the smiles on their faces were not fake.
The reason why they wanted to keep Qing Yue in the Lu Mansion was because she was so beautiful and they thought she would be of use in the future.
Today, the princess asked for Qing Yue and gave the Qing Yue to the princess. She used her to please the princess. This maid was put to great use.
How could the two of them be unhappy?
And more importantly, Mrs. Zhong also loses Mrs. Zhu’s face!
Mrs. Zhou, who had been staring at this scene, also let out a breath, and her eyes seemed to be filled with joy.
As long as Qing Yue leaves Lu Jing and leaves Lu Jing truly alone, why does it matter who Qing Yue follows?
There were also people like Lu Qiong and Ning Qiang, who couldn't help but sigh.
The princess likes Qing Yue... Although this result is better than leaving Qing Yue in the unkind Lu Mansion, Lu Jing is also about to separate from Qing Yue...
Just when everyone looked different.
But the Roushui girl also bowed and thanked her, looked at Lu Jing beside her, and said with a smile: "In that case, I will take Mr. Jing here to take a look at the Qingyue girl."
Mrs. Ning was self-righteous and said with a smile: "What's the big deal? Lu Jing, please go back quickly and help Qing Yue pack her bags."
Rou Shui smiled: "That's not necessary."
Lu Jing and Rou Shui walked out of Chunze Zhai like this.
Everyone watched them leave. The two had just stepped out of the threshold and had not taken a few steps...
Rou Shui suddenly handed the body deed in her hand to Lu Jing and said, "Mr. Jing, the princess told me that the body deed of Miss Qingyue will belong to Mr. Jing from now on."
Lu Jing smiled and took the body deed from Rou Shui, and said casually: "Miss Rou Shui, please say thank you for me."
"Why do you need to thank me? Mr. Jing has helped me a lot. Today is just a small matter, so it is not worthy of Mr. Jing's thanks."
The two of them traveled further and further apart.
