shock!The lord's heart spoiled her and beat her through the little white flower

Chapter 33 Promotion
"It must be that the Gu family asked someone to write a letter, and His Majesty agreed! The Gu family is really a good plan. This side has not retired the marriage with Zi'er, and the other side has started planning! He is really a good planner! Then let's Zi'er let's do it." ? Just become the laughing stock of Kyoto? Didn’t you say anything?”

"What else can I say? This matter was decided by His Majesty. It is useless to say anything now. Even if there is no matter about Gu's family, according to Lu Yuan's achievements, the position of Minister of the Household Department will be his sooner or later. Your Majesty is just pushing the boat along. It can be regarded as a little comfort to the Lu family. If I refute His Majesty in the court today, it will appear that our Shen family is reluctant to part with the marriage of the Gu family, and this will make people laugh in vain."

Xie's heart fluctuated violently, and his face was livid with anger, "I don't believe that it has nothing to do with the Gu family, so how could Lord Gu be willing to let a concubine daughter of a fourth-rank official become his daughter-in-law? I'm afraid that these things His Majesty bestowed are just to block The mouth of our Shen family!"

She really didn't expect that His Majesty would be promoted to Lu Yuan's official position. In the past, she felt that all the daughters of the Lu family were not that smart. Even Lu Shan, the first daughter of the Lu family, was like that.
But Lu Li, the concubine of the Lu family, didn't understand that she had such a deep scheming, which far exceeded her prediction.

That day she kept saying that she didn't want to be a concubine, she really dared to say it!Anyone with a discerning eye can understand that she is supporting the Gu family in her capacity, but no one speaks out because she cares about the Gu family.

She said again, "Then today's matter can be hidden from Zi'er by the master?"

Xie didn't want Shen Zi to know in her heart, she was very clear about her own daughter's temperament, if it was today, Zi'er would probably do something else!

Anyway, it turns out that Gu Jinghuan was her favorite, as to why she doesn't want to marry him now, I'm afraid she will say it herself.

But when such a thing happened at the palace banquet, in the final analysis, it was Gu Jinghuan who had two minds. If not, how could Zi'er plan it?Xie didn't believe it.

"I've already asked someone to call Zi'er over. She will know about this matter eventually. It's better to know it early, so that I won't be dissatisfied later." Shen Linsheng turned and comforted, "Don't think too much Now, my daughter is not such a person. Besides, she doesn’t want this marriage at all. As for the Lu family, she naturally doesn’t care! Especially now that everyone in the capital is watching the jokes of our three families. You don't know how to restrain yourself!"

"I understand what the master said, but the bad thing is that Zier said a few days ago that she didn't want to divorce the Gu family, but after only a few days, she ruined the marriage, doesn't the master think there is something wrong? "

After speaking, Mrs. Xie wanted to say a few more words, and Shen Zi, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, opened the curtain and walked in. She saluted first, and then said, "My daughter just wanted to talk to her father. She didn't want to retire the engagement a few days ago. I want to give Gu Jinghuan a chance, after all, my daughter still has his place in her heart."

"But at the palace banquet that day, the daughter kept giving in, but the concubine of the Lu family pressed her forward step by step and said that she liked Gu Jinghuan. Although Gu Jinghuan scolded the concubine of the Lu family face to face, the daughter found that things were not simple. It is my daughter's fault to do such a thing and disturb my father and mother."

Hearing Shen Zi's explanation, Mrs. Xie couldn't sit still for a moment, she pulled Shen Zi up and let her sit beside her, "Mother wouldn't blame you, it's just that she doesn't like the Lu family and the Gu family, so with your father Nag a few words."

Shen Zi held Xie Shi's hand and said softly, "Daughter knows mother's worry, daughter has a sense of proportion."

Turning her head, she said to Shen Linsheng, "Father, my daughter already knows what happened just now. Father and mother don't have to think about venting their anger for their daughter. My daughter said earlier that it will be a matter of time before the Gu and Lu families join forces. Father is in court. You just need to be more prepared.”

"Especially now, the court only knows that the Shen family canceled the engagement because of what happened to the Gu family. They only know one thing, but don't know the other. Father is walking in the court, so don't confront the Gu family head-on, just pretend to be the reason." This matter is dissatisfied with the Gu family, and the rest need to wait and see."

Mrs. Xie couldn't sit still for a moment, opened her eyes wide, and stared at Shen Zi, "That's all? Let's swallow the Lu family's breath? Then if tomorrow morning, wouldn't your father still politely congratulate Lu family? Then...don't let others think that our Shen family is easy to bully?"

"Okay, you sit down first." Shen Linsheng was much calmer than Xie's, and his mind was spinning quickly, "The Lu family used to be a fourth rank, so it is not as good as ours. Now that he has climbed to the Gu family, he is still promoted After becoming an official, there are quite a lot of flatterers in the court, but I am afraid that few people sincerely congratulate him."

"Of course I know this. Zuo Zuo was promoted to the third grade, and he was promoted by his own daughter. Maybe someone pointed at Lu Yuan's spine and scolded him." Xie sat down with some resentment.

Shen Linsheng made some calculations in his mind, and turned to look at his daughter, "Zi'er reminded you right, it's because my father is confused, now that Lu Yuan has been promoted to a few ranks, some people will think this way, if only one person thinks it doesn't matter, if the whole court thinks so It's hard to convince people. I'm afraid that if we don't need to take action, someone will find Lu Yuan's bad luck, and I will congratulate him for being a father tomorrow."

"The Ministry of Households is in charge of the country's finances. This matter is naturally much clearer. No wonder Gu Xiaohou would kindly send the concubine daughter of the Lu family back that day. It all makes sense."

"Could it be...Could it be that the master will send someone to give gifts to the Lu family tomorrow?" Mrs. Xie said with some dissatisfaction.

Shen Linsheng thought for a while, then nodded, "You're right! We should give gifts. Tomorrow, you ask Nanny Yu to visit Lu's house, take your post, and go to visit. I just say it's congratulations on Lu Yuan's promotion."

Mrs. Xie looked at Shen Linsheng in disbelief, she was a little confused, he not only wanted to congratulate Lu Yuan, but also gave the Lu family a gift, but he was confused by the Gu family's anger?
Shen Zi looked at the bewildered Mrs. Xie, and explained to Mrs. Xie earnestly, "Mother, we are not giving gifts. Father means to let Madam Yu come forward to inquire about the Lu family. Didn't the Lu family become in-laws with the Gu family? Mrs. Lu may give up? Willing to let a concubine step on her daughter's head to marry? As far as my daughter knows, Lu Li is Lu Yuan's illegitimate daughter."

After hearing Shen Zi's words, Mrs. Xie gradually calmed down.

"Grandma Yu went to Lu's house instead of mother. Firstly, it will weaken the rumors among the Gu, Shen, and Lu families in the capital, so as not to ruin the reputation of our Shen family because of the Gu family's affairs. Second, we can take this opportunity to let Yumao Mama, go and test Mrs. Lu's words! The matter between Lu Li and Gu Jinghuan is disgraceful."
