After eavesdropping on my thoughts, the cannon fodder family went crazy!

Chapter 44 Watching a Joke

Although Lu Jingyuan tried his best to refuse, the prince's gifts kept coming.

Not only that, he now found various excuses, and even Lin Yuyan's cousin, whom he had not contacted for a long time, came to visit him again.

But this time the cousin came with a different identity. In the past, she was just a distant cousin who came to fight Qiufeng, but now she was the prince's son. Even if she was dissatisfied, Lin Yuyan couldn't say anything.

But there are only three things to be done, and the prince's determination in this regard seems to be beyond the acceptance range of the Lu family.

Not to mention Lu Jingyuan, even Lu Shengqing, who had always had a calm temperament, felt that You Wei was a little impatient.

"Cousin, we are related after all, but don't say that my sister didn't mention you. With such a good opportunity, it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and such a courteous and virtuous corporal. You should also persuade your brother-in-law that enough is enough."

【why is it you again! ] Lu Youyou turned over impatiently, [This woman is really noisy. She just wants to get the general to join the prince's camp, so that she can have her back against the big tree. 】

Lu Youyou didn't care too much, and knew that most of the family now knew that His Highness the Crown Prince was not a good master and would not be easily shaken, so he was not in a hurry.

On the contrary, Lu Shengqing, who finally had a rest at home, still had to hear these words, which made her feel really tired.

"Aunt, are you able to take charge when you are at home? Why did I hear that my cousin recently picked up a woman from Flower Street and is preparing to raise her as a concubine?"

Lin Yuyan, the cousin's originally smiling expression suddenly fell down, "What's the matter? Our master goes to the government office every day and comes home on time at night. How come he goes to Flower Street?"

[Why are you feeling guilty? Could it be that my elder brother was right? 】

"Whether there is this or not, what Shengqing heard is definitely not groundless. Instead of worrying about other people's family affairs here, my cousin should pay more attention to her own family, so as not to end up in a restless house."

Looking at her cousin's expression, Lin Yuyan knew that what Lu Shengqing said was probably inseparable. Although she was ridiculing in her heart, she still didn't show it.

"What my cousin said is true. I suddenly remembered that there is something else at home, so I will stay soon and leave first."

【Don’t leave! Expand and talk! 】

As soon as she heard the gossip, Lu Youyou quickly turned around and came back, waiting to hear what was going on. However, she saw her cousin's face change and she left in a hurry, which made Lu Youyou feel disappointed.

"Shengqing, how did you know?"

Lin Yuyan did not expect that these words would come from Lu Shengqing, who always paid attention to etiquette, and was very curious.

"I didn't know it at first, but I happened to meet him when I was on the street that day."

Lu Shengqing was not a person who liked to discuss right and wrong, but it was just a coincidence that he and his colleagues were having dinner at Zhaixinglou that day, and they happened to meet this cousin who was very far away.

"He came up to say hello and introduced himself, but I had barely seen him, so I didn't recognize him."

Lu Shengqing could finally read a book in peace and contentment. Seeing that his mother and sister were curious, he also started chatting.

"He introduced himself, and then I remembered that at that time, he was not carrying my aunt with him."

"Then how did you know that was the girl from Huajie?"

Lin Yuyan didn't believe that her nerdy son who loved reading could tell at a glance that it was a woman from Huajie.

"Mom, I love reading, but I don't just read books. The woman's hair is on one side. She looks like a serious woman. And after all, this cousin is an official in the capital. Naturally, some colleagues have heard of his romantic stories. " Lu Shengqing didn't want to say more, but probably more than a few of them knew that the cousin's uncle was going to take a Huajie girl into the house. It was estimated that this aunt would not come again in the near future.

Lu Wushuang has been getting busier and busier recently, staying away from home all day long. Even the prince, who is diligent in giving gifts, has stopped a lot recently.

After finally seeing Lu Wushuang go home for dinner, Lu Jingyuan quickly detained him.

"Lao San, what have you been busy with recently?"

After Lu Jingyuan returned to the capital, he trained step by step every day, so the time when he returned home was also very fixed. On the contrary, his son, who was on duty in the palace, often disappeared, and he was indeed curious.

"The Emperor wants to go hunting in the autumn, and we are all planning our shifts. We have to arrange everything."

Speaking of this, Lu Wushuang was also very helpless. Since the last rescue, the emperor had paid special attention to him. Especially on such an occasion, he asked him to accompany him by name. He didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

"Even the prince is practicing at the hunting ground every day, hoping to show his face in front of the emperor."

Lu Zhiyan felt ridiculous after hearing this, "It seems that there is no need to practice the prince's riding and shooting, right? You can't even compete with me, and you still show your face?"

He had not forgotten that when he was participating in hunting as a member of a noble family, the prince could not even ride the horse steadily and almost fell off the horse. He was laughed at for a long time.

"You can't say that. The emperor has always valued both civil and military affairs. However, apart from being the eldest son, His Royal Highness does not seem to be very outstanding in temperament. It is normal for him to want to show his face in front of the emperor."

"It's not easy for him to hold the position of prince."

Although Lu Jingyuan said he didn't want to be on his team, seeing him like this, he still felt very sympathetic.

"But it's just that he can't even compare to the Seventh Prince, let alone the Ninth Prince."

Lu Wushuang was also outspoken, and it was no longer a secret that the prince had no merit.

[You can’t say that. Isn’t he practicing? No wonder he hasn't shown up much recently. It turns out he has his own little agenda. 】

Although Lu Youyou also found it funny, she also knew in her heart that this autumn hunt would be a turning point in Lu Wushuang's fate and should not be underestimated.

【Autumn hunting? Is it autumn already? 】

Lu Youyou perked up as soon as she heard this. The plot in the original book was still going on. She didn't go out often, so she didn't even notice that it was already autumn and she was hungry.

[Third brother, can’t you not go? When the prince was assassinated, you protected him, but as a result, your hand became disabled and you will no longer be able to hold a sword! 】

[You must not go, you must not follow the prince! What if something happens to the third brother! 】

[And you saved him, and he’s not grateful to you! 】

The more Lu Youyou thought about it, the more anxious she became, and she didn't even notice the changes in the faces of the people around her.

When Lu Wushuang heard what his sister said, he was shocked at first, but he still believed Lu Youyou.
