Chapter 13
Tao Yao didn't know what the servants were thinking, she followed behind Lu Jiuyuan, admiring the scenery of the Duke's Mansion all the way.

As expected of a powerful family, compared with the Tao family, it obviously has a deeper and thicker background.

Pavilions, terraces and pavilions, gardens of flowers and plants, winding corridors, small bridges over flowing water, bucket arches and flying eaves...all of which highlight the illustriousness of the Lu family.

After walking for about half a quarter of an hour, Fushou Tang, where Mrs. Lu lived, finally arrived.

When the two entered, the Fushou Hall was already full of people.

Seeing Tao Yao come in, everyone looked at her delicately and complicatedly.

Everyone knew that she was originally engaged to Lu Qingbai, but who would have thought that this prospective niece and daughter-in-law turned around and married Lu Laojiu.

Tao Yao noticed their sizing eyes and knew what was going on, but she didn't care at all.

Anyway, it wasn't her who was wrong!

She welcomed the scrutiny of all parties very frankly.

After entering the hall, she stepped forward to salute the old lady sitting in the middle.

"Yaoyao has seen the old lady."

As early as the moment she stepped in, Mrs. Lu had already sized her up.

At this time, seeing her bowing obediently, her wrinkled eyes were full of kindness.

"Yaoyao is now my Lu family's daughter-in-law, Lao Jiu's daughter-in-law, should I change my mind?" The old lady looked at the little girl in front of her with a smile, her eyes benevolent.

Tao Yao was taken aback for a moment before she realized it.

"Madam Ninth, please serve tea to the old lady first." At this time, a gentle-looking nun placed a cushion in front of her and reminded her softly.

Tao Yao paused, and couldn't help but look at Lu Jiuyuan with a questioning look.

Lu Jiuyuan paused and nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Tao Yao bit the bullet and knelt down.

It seemed that at this moment, no matter whether it was an expedient measure or not, she had to make the most of the show.

Thinking about it, she took the tea brought by the nanny, then raised it above her head, and said sweetly to the old lady: "Mother, please drink tea."

Mrs. Lu smiled from ear to ear when she heard the words, took the tea in her hand, took a sip happily, and then put it down.

Then, she took off a jade bracelet on her wrist, put it on Tao Yao's slender wrist, and pulled her up.

"From now on, you can live a good life with Lao Jiu. If Lao Jiu dares to bully you, come and tell me at any time, and I will definitely make the decision for you." The old lady held her hand and urged.

Tao Yao lowered her head shyly, but looked at the jade bracelet on her wrist.

The whole body of this jade bracelet is emerald green, and the water head is very good. It is very valuable at first glance.

The corners of her lips curled up, and she said obediently: "Got it, thank you mother."

The old lady became more and more satisfied as she watched.

This little girl is so nice, beautiful, energetic, and the key is she is well-behaved and lovable.

Thinking about it, the old lady suddenly turned her head to look at Lu Jiuyuan, "Old Jiu!" Her originally kind face was now more serious, "I am satisfied with Yaoyao's daughter-in-law. I don't think you are too old. If you want to marry you, you have to love her well and don't let her be wronged."

Tao Yao's eyelids twitched, and she quietly looked at Lu Jiuyuan.

Unexpectedly, when she looked over, she met the man's deep black eyes.

She was stunned for a moment, and when she realized it, she looked away with a "sigh".

Lu Jiuyuan paused, met his mother's staring eyes, frowned and nodded, "I know."

The old lady smiled happily, took Tao Yao's hand, and introduced others.

"These are Jiuyuan's elder brother, sister-in-law, and nephews, you recognize them."

"Okay." Tao Yao nodded.

The old lady turned her head and said to her sons, daughter-in-law and grandchildren: "Yaoyao is new here, you must not be rude."

Everyone's eyelids jumped.

The implication of the old lady's words is already very obvious.

This is for them to express themselves.

Fortunately, everyone came prepared.

Tao Yao followed Lu Jiuyuan, and first walked to the uncle of the Lu family, Lu Qingbai's father, Lu Boyan.

Seeing Lu Boyan's contemptuous but livid face, Tao Yao blinked and shouted in a sweet and crisp voice, "Brother!"

Lu Boyan: "..."

"Brother?" Seeing that he didn't respond, Tao Yao called again.

Lu Boyan's eyelids twitched, and he finally nodded stiffly. After a long while, he finally said, "Ninth Brother and Sister."

"puff!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone laughed.

Tao Yao: "..."

Naturally, Lu Boyan heard it too, and his face became even more ugly.

If it wasn't for the old lady watching from the side, he might have rushed out the door long ago.

Lu Boyan's hand under the sleeve clenched his fist, what's going on?

The original daughter-in-law turned around and became a younger sister-in-law. There is nothing more absurd than this.

Lu Jiuyuan, a bastard, could even pry off the corner of his nephew's wall.

How dare he?
Lu Boyan was secretly angry, but he didn't dare to attack.

Noticing the old lady's gaze staring at him, he took a dark breath to suppress his anger.

He took a box from the attendant, handed it to Tao Yao, and said in a proud tone: "Our eldest brother has a clean sleeve and nothing long on his body. Only this calligraphy and painting can be handed out, so I will give it to the nine younger brothers and sisters for fun." Bar."

To be honest, Tao Yao didn't bother to accept his gift.

After all, on the day she traveled through time, this old man brazenly wanted her to be Lu Qingbai's concubine.

It was only a villain like him who turned his back on his promises that he could figure it out.

But in front of the old lady, she naturally couldn't do that.

She took it with a smile on her face, "Thank you, brother."

Hearing this, Lu Boyan's eyelids twitched again.

Seeing this, all the sons and nephews lowered their heads and laughed.

This Aunt Jiu is too interesting.

"Yaoyao's big brother is quite easy to say, and there is no awkwardness at all. In the past, I underestimated you."

At this moment, a strange voice sounded.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Tao Yao turned her head to look, but met a pair of cold and disdainful eyes.

The owner of the eyes is a woman in her early forties, with thin cheeks, thin lips, and a sullen face, which makes her look mean and not to be trifled with.

Tao Yao came to her senses and was not at a loss because of the other party's intentional making things difficult.

The smile on her small face remained undiminished, "Oh, then sister-in-law thinks, what should Yaoyao be called? Yaoyao is new here and doesn't know the rules, why don't sister-in-law teach me?"

Hearing this, the woman who spoke looked at Tao Yao even more sharply, and the corners of her mouth were pursed into a straight line, apparently suppressing her anger.

This woman is Lu Boyan's wife, Lin Shi, and Lu Qingbai's mother.

After a long while, she sneered and said, "Sharp teeth, no shame!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed.

Some read the joke, some disagreed, and some sympathized with Tao Yao.

The old lady directly darkened her face, and warned: "Mr. Lin, pay attention to your words!"

Mrs. Lin was still a little afraid of the old lady. Hearing this, she pursed her lips and said nothing.

"If my sister-in-law knew how to be ashamed, she wouldn't say rude words on such an occasion. In my opinion, you are the one who is shameless, and you are the one who is mean!"

In the dead silence, a majestic and cold voice suddenly sounded.

When everyone heard the sound, their hearts trembled.
