LOL! Is this scumbag waiting for the New Year to divorce?

Chapter 177 The Stingy Mother and Son

When Liu Anran had cried enough, she sobbed and said, "Madam Xia, why do you think Brother Yan treated me like this?

For him, I left my hometown and traveled thousands of miles to the capital. For him, I endured all kinds of rumors and gossip.

For him, I humbled myself and tried to please the Madam. For him, I endured the humiliation and flattered the Princess Zhuoyang and the Princess Rong'an.

But in the end he still has to marry someone else."

Liu Anran cried as she spoke, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Nanny Xia cursed her in her heart but still said, "My dear girl, the Marquis has you in his heart.

He was forced to marry the daughter of the Ji family by the lady-in-waiting.

After all, the Marquis was demoted not long ago, and he needs to marry into the Ji family to have a chance of getting his position back.

The Marquis let you marry first because he was afraid that you would suffer some grievances after the new wife married him.

As soon as you come in, you are my concubine. Even if she is the new wife, she cannot do anything to you.

Besides, I have heard that the girl from the Ji family is extremely ugly and has a plain appearance. The Marquis will not like her.

So as long as you firmly grasp the heart of the Hou Houye, why would you be afraid of not being able to defeat her?"

After hearing this, Liu Anran felt much better, and a glimmer of fighting spirit flashed in his eyes.

She also has the Charm of Allure system, Jing Zhaoyan will definitely like her.

Thinking of his own system, Liu Anran felt panic for no reason.

I don't know what's wrong with that system recently. It's been dormant for longer and longer periods of time.

This situation seemed to have started since she came to Beijing.

Could it be that there is something in this capital city that is unlucky for her?

No, definitely not. Liu Anran doesn’t believe that anything can compare with her system.

Lu Chenshuang spent the whole day with Mu Hansu, and before going home she brought Xiaoman and Guyu their favorite roast duck.

Before they parted, Mu Hansu told her that in a few days Rong An would go to the Kingdom of Xiwa for marriage, and the emperor would host a banquet for all officials and their families to see Rong An off.

Let Lu Chenshuang come and join in the fun.

In any case, Rong An was representing the Dalin Kingdom to marry, and she was also the daughter of Princess Zhuoyang, so she had to be given enough face.

Mu Hansu also told Lu Chenshuang that the emperor was inviting all officials to a banquet in order to have them add makeup to Princess Rong'an.

Lu Chenshuang was shocked when she heard this and said, "Is the emperor so calculating that he even requires all officials to pay for the dowry for the marriage."

Mu Hansu sighed helplessly and said, “Of course my brother paid the share that should be paid in the palace.

But didn’t Zhuoyang ask the Queen Mother for help at that time? The Queen Mother promised to give Rong An a generous dowry so that she could marry in style.

But the emperor doesn't want to recognize this extra brother.

Princess Zhuoyang was naturally unwilling to come out because her mother was so cruel about her sister's affairs.

So my brother and my mother came up with this idea. "

Lu Chenshuang was stunned after hearing this. This operation was 666. It was a pity that these two people did not go into business.

They are really mother and son, they are stingy to a new level.

In fact, Lu Chenshuang was also there when Princess Zhuoyang went to the Queen Mother to cry and complain.

But Princess Zhuoyang was silenced by the Queen Mother before she could even open her mouth.

This Queen Mother truly deserves to be the champion of last year's palace fight. Lu Chenshuang deeply admires her.

Sure enough, the next day an imperial edict came to the palace, saying that Princess Rong'an would marry far away in Xiwa in three days. The emperor hosted a banquet for all officials and their families to see Princess Rong'an off, and specially invited Lu Chenshuang to attend.

After receiving the imperial edict, Lu Chenshuang curled her lips secretly. She was specially invited to participate. It sounded quite high-sounding.

Lu Chenshuang had already received the news from Mu Hansu that the standards for this palace banquet were set particularly low.

All officials above the fifth rank in the capital can participate.

In the past, only officials of the third rank and above and those with titles in their families could attend banquets in the palace.

Originally, Lu Chenshuang had no intention of going after hearing what Mu Hansu said, but now that the imperial decree had come down, she had to go even if she didn't want to.

But then again it would be nice to join in the fun, I'm sure her mother will be there too.

Just when Lu Chenshuang was thinking about this, someone from the Lin family came and said that Old Mrs. Lin missed her and asked her to go to the Lin Mansion.

Lu Chenshuang was indeed very busy during this period. Not to mention going to the Lin family, she didn't even have time to return to the Lu Mansion.

Lin had sent people to look for her twice, but she was not at home.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Lin had such good control over the time. Lu Chenshuang agreed immediately.

Then he asked Xiaoman and Guyu to prepare some gifts and went to Lin's Mansion.

The house that Lin bought for the Lin family is a bit far from Lu Chenshuang.

So it took Lu Chenshuang and her companions more than half an hour to arrive by carriage.

When Lu Chenshuang arrived, Xie was waiting at the door.

After the last incident, Mrs. Yang was put under house arrest by Old Lady Lin, and now Mrs. Xie is in charge of the Lin family's finances.

As soon as she saw Lu Chenshuang, she enthusiastically took her hand and said, “Girl, you haven’t come here since the last time, and your grandmother keeps talking about you.

But I was afraid that you would feel uncomfortable so I didn't dare to disturb you.

You are such a fool. If no one is sent to invite you, you would not even know how to come.

Do you still hold a grudge against your own in-laws?"

Mrs. Xie thought that Lu Chenshuang had not been to the Lin family because she was unhappy about what happened last time.

Lu Chenshuang is not such a petty person. Old Madam Lin and Uncle Lin really love her. She would not hate the entire Lin family for the sake of Yang.

So she smiled and explained, "What are you talking about, Second Aunt? Shuang'er is not that stingy.

I was quite busy recently as I took on a critically ill patient.

During this period, I didn't even go back to the Lu family.

I just found some time to rest, and my grandmother sent someone over."

Lu Chenshuang was also busy with Xie, and she had heard about it. Lin had returned to her parents' home twice and complained that she had not seen her daughter for a long time, and that she had sent people to invite her but to no avail.

Mrs. Xie smiled and said, "It was my second aunt who misunderstood you. I will drink a few more glasses at the banquet as an apology."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chenshuang laughed loudly twice and followed Xie into the inner courtyard.

This time, all the members of the Lin family were present, except for Yang.

When Old Mrs. Lin saw Lu Chenshuang, she hugged her and called her her dearest sweetheart again.

Lu Chenshuang felt helpless. In this touching scene, she should have said some emotional words, and it would have been best if she could shed a few tears.

But in this situation, what she thought of was Lady Jia in Dream of the Red Chamber, and then she felt a chill.

Forget it, she has few relatives and really can't do those things.

After Mrs. Lin had shown enough favor to her, she asked Xiaoman and Guyu to present the gift to Mrs. Lin.

This time she only brought gifts for Old Mrs. Lin.

Old Mrs. Lin scolded her for being wasteful, but she had a big smile on her face.

Her good granddaughter is very filial and brings her gifts every time she comes.

Naturally, she also prepared a lot of good things for Lu Chenshuang to take away this time.

After they finished exchanging greetings, Old Lady Lin sent Lin Shen and the other younger generations away.

Only Mrs. Xie and Mr. and Mrs. Lin Hai were left.

Lu Chenshuang immediately understood the purpose of why Old Lady Lin invited her here.
