Chapter 24
"Mother!"

After Brother Dong realized what he was doing, he was happy and wanted to go to Lu Lianzhi's place.

But Dou Lianyi stood there, the smile on his face getting deeper.

She wanted to see if Lu Lianzhi dared to recognize Dong Geer as his son in front of so many people.

Seeing this, Lu Lianzhi didn't know that she had fallen into a trap. She quickly avoided Brother Dong, and pretended to be surprised and said softly: "I just saw a lot of people gathered here. When I got closer, I saw it was my sister-in-law and... Brother Dong, I thought this was an unfortunate coincidence, so I thought about coming in and saying hello."

Dou Lianyi didn't reply, and was free to watch Lu Lianzhi's performance.

On the contrary, Brother Dong who was standing by saw that his mother was ignoring him. He had never received such a cold treatment before. He was so angry that he grabbed the cake and threw it to the ground.

The shopkeeper beside him turned pale and held his chest in distress.

"Oh, Brother Dong, what's going on?"

Lu Lianzhi was unhappy because Dou Lianyi had humiliated her in public, but when she saw Brother Dong making such a fuss, she immediately hatched a plan.

I saw her picking up the rose cake on the counter, deliberately approaching Brother Dong to feed him, and advising him in a gentle voice: "No matter what my sister-in-law has done, after all, she is your adoptive mother now. You have to listen to her."

There was clearly something behind her words. Just as Bai Zhi was about to step forward to argue, she was stopped by Dou Lianyi.

"Yes, this adoptive mother is not as big as her biological mother," Dou Lianyi curled her lips playfully and said lightly: "As soon as the biological mother speaks, the adoptive mother will have no choice but to step aside."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Lianzhi suddenly felt uncomfortable. She raised her eyes and glanced at Dou Lianyi, but she didn't see anything strange in her expression. It was as if she just said it casually.

"What are you talking about, sister-in-law? Regardless of the biological mother and adoptive mother, as long as she is a good person to Brother Dong, there is no need to make such a clear distinction."

Lu Lianzhi's face was green and white, and her hand raised in the air retracted in embarrassment. She did not dare to feed Brother Dong anymore, for fear that Dou Lianyi would see something.

Dou Lianyi just sneered in her heart, turned around and spoke to the shopkeeper in a loud voice.

"Shopkeeper, pack up all the pastries that Brother Dong has taken a fancy to and send them to the county prince's palace. I won't let you suffer the losses caused today."

When Bai Zhi heard this, she immediately stepped forward and took out half a bag of silver and placed it in front of the shopkeeper.

When he saw Yinzi, the shopkeeper immediately smiled from ear to ear and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, Madam. Madam, you are such a kind-hearted person!"

When Brother Dong saw boxes after boxes of cakes being packed up and put on the sedan waiting outside, he immediately lost his anger and rushed out with one step, even leaving his own mother behind.

Dou Lianyi turned her head to look at Lu Lianzhi and said softly: "Sister-in-law, do you have anything else to do?"

A flash of viciousness flashed in Lu Lianzhi's eyes, and she clenched her fists. She was ashamed and annoyed, but she could only lower her head, squeezed into the crowd and ran away dejectedly.

Dou Lianyi looked at Lu Lianzhi's embarrassed back from a distance, feeling extremely comfortable in her heart.

Early the next morning, a dark, snorting horse stopped outside the Jufu Restaurant, which was the favorite place for dignitaries in the capital.

Jumping off the horse, a young man wearing navy blue casual clothes and a jade crown tied his hair.

I saw that he was born with a good appearance and a tall body. Just standing there would make the girls on the street too shy to look directly at him.

The boss of Jufu Restaurant rushed out as soon as he heard the report from the waiter. He greeted him with a smile and asked, "What kind of wind blew you here today, the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"You are really good at talking. By the way, do you still have my private room reserved for me?"

"Of course, the young master's wing has been reserved for you."

Hearing this, Dou Heng, the eldest young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion, laughed and threw the reins in his hands to the waiter, and the two walked in one after the other.About a quarter of an hour later, a carriage drove over from a distance and stopped at the entrance of Jufu Restaurant. Two girls wearing veils got out of the sedan and went straight to the second floor of the restaurant.

There was a knock on the door of the wing, and a hearty voice came from inside: "Come in."

The girl in a light yellow dress stood guard outside the door, while the other girl in a light blue dress walked in and closed the door behind her back.

A table of steaming hot dishes and a jug of fine wine have been prepared in the room.

"My good sister, why did you ask Yuzhu to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see me early in the morning? What is the important matter?"

Dou Heng sat by the window sill, grinning with the light behind him.

The girl in the light blue dress raised her hand and took off her veil, revealing her beautiful face.

It was Dou Lianyi.

As she pulled out the chair and sat down, she said calmly: "There is no way, I can only trust you in this matter, brother."

"I really don't know the use of the husband you chose. You still need help from my brother, whom I haven't seen for a long time."

Although Dou Heng was complaining, his eyes were full of love when he looked at his sister.

"He really has no effect."

Before, Dou Lianyi would have been eager to say a few nice words to Lu Shangxuan, but now she didn't even bother to raise her eyelids, and changed the subject after casually responding.

"Brother, I hope you can help me pay attention to something in the court," Dou Lianyi paused, then continued after considering it: "It is a ring finger, it feels like jade, but it feels harder. "

"what colour?"

Dou Heng jumped down from the window sill and came to Dou Lianyi. He put his hands on the table and asked seriously.

"Black?"

"You asked me to find this thing, but you don't even know what it looks like?"

Dou Heng felt angry and funny, but he had no choice but to ask: "Then where did you see this ring? Why did you ask me to pay attention to it in the court?"

Dou Lianyi was not sure about this. She picked up her chopsticks and poked the West Lake vinegar fish on the table with some frustration, and muttered: "I only saw it once, how can I remember so much."

What's more, under those circumstances...

At the thought, Dou Lianyi's cheeks turned crimson unconsciously.

"My good sister, why are you blushing?"

Dou Heng stared at Dou Lianyi suspiciously for a while and found that not only did she not answer him, she even picked up the veil to cover his face.

"I'm confused myself," Dou Lianyi lifted up her veil, took a piece of fish and put it in her mouth, and then responded shamelessly: "Anyway, just pay attention to it for me."

For some reason, in the dead of night these past few days, she would often think of the wrench she had held tightly with her fingers when she was unconscious.

The moonlight that night was beautiful, but the lingering body was as hot as the scorching sun.
