The mistress of the Hou family went crazy after doting on concubines and killing their wives.

Chapter 125 Opportunity
"I'm just telling you to be careful, so as not to get Xie Zhiyan into trouble."

Seeing him staring at her hands, Lu Wan quickly retracted and muttered: "I don't know if I've offended him, and I can't help him."

Xie Zhiyan: "..."

"You...do you need my help with anything?"

Lu Wan tilted her head and looked at him: "It's true that something happened. Master Yan, do you have a proper place to store your valuable things?"

The place in the Imperial City Division was naturally the safest, and the one I found was also a private residence.

"What are you hiding?"

Lu Wan looked serious: "Hide the stolen goods you sent for Xie Zhiyan. If these things are discovered by me, it will ruin Prince Xie's reputation for life."

Xie Zhiyan: "..."

Those were his private property. He was afraid that she would think wildly, so he lied to her that they were stolen goods, and he was trying to scare her to stop her from talking or moving. She actually treated them as stolen goods?
"There is a place. I will arrange to send someone to inform you."

"Then thank you in advance, Mr. Yan. By the way, the place needs to be larger. I can also put my mother's and my dowry in it."

"Your dowry? What will you bring during the wedding? Do you want people to laugh at you?"

"Anyway, ever since I planned to marry Xie Zhiyan, there have been countless people who laughed at me. It's not a serious wedding, so who cares? Those things are all mine, so there can't be any mistakes."

Xie Zhiyan's heart softened.

I really have to wrong her for a while.

"Actually, the place where Xie Zhiyan lives is the safest."

Lu Wan was stunned: "Huh?"

"There's a big cellar there where you can put all your stuff."

"Ah?" Lu Wan shook his head: "No, there are no guards there, how can it be safe?"

Xie Zhiyan put his head closer: "Isn't it enough to protect you?"

Suddenly a pale face came over to her, startling her and causing her body to lean back.

"After making arrangements, someone will let you know."

After saying a few words, the person jumped out of the car.

Lu Wan pressed her heart: "It's inexplicable."

Thinking of something, he quickly opened the car curtain and shouted in a low voice: "Tell me if you catch the murderer."

Xie Zhiyan got on his horse and took a look at her.

The little girl is quite smart.

What's that look in his eyes?

Is it because he dislikes her for always causing trouble for him?
Huh, who told him to be Xie Zhiyan's best friend?
Lu Wan lowered the car curtain angrily: "You have a bad temper, you have a white face all day long, and you don't know that you are scary."

It was almost dark when we returned to Yuyi Pavilion. Lu Wan's stomach was growling with hunger, and Zhiruo was busy serving food.

There was a rush of footsteps outside the door.

"Big girl." Holly panted.

Lu Wan was surprised and stood up in shock: "What's wrong? What happened?"

"Brother, brother said..."

Lu Wan quickly asked Xi Yan to bring her a bowl of tea: "Oh, let's take a sip of tea first. It's not an urgent matter. Is there any need to be in such a hurry?"

Dongqing took a sip and drank it up, then breathed a sigh of relief: "He said that he heard that Prince Lu, the Marquis, and Xia's father were discussing how to start with the grain supply. They wanted to exchange all the military grain that had recently been shipped to Northern Xinjiang and Southern Xinjiang, and the ships would It was posted in the past few days.”

Lu Wan's eyes widened: "My father?"

"Yes. Our people heard it with their own ears."

Lu Wan frowned.

No wonder, the military rations waiting for the Qin family army who guarded Jiyang in southern Xinjiang in their previous life had been exchanged!
"Dongqing, you must be careful when entering and exiting Zui Jiangyue, so as not to let others know about my relationship with Zui Jiangyue."

"This slave knows." Dongqing nodded.

"Go back quickly." Lu Wan was anxiously thinking about what to do.
She couldn't stop it on her own, and suddenly remembered that Xie Zhixian and the prince were investigating this case.

Lu Wan ignored eating and went to the study to pick up a pen and write a letter: "At dawn, send it to the eldest princess's mansion immediately. You must hand it over to the eldest princess herself and ask her to give it to the prince as soon as possible."

Dawn put the letter in her arms: "Okay."

Watching the dawn disappear in the night, Lu Wan breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that Li Haoyu could save the grain so that the soldiers stationed on the border would not be unable to eat during this winter's disaster.

Finally I can sit down and have a good meal.

While Xiyan served her and ate, she talked about what happened in the house today.

"The entire ancestral hall has been cleaned today, and the kitchen is ready for the banquet tomorrow."

"I almost forgot, tomorrow my father will take a test for the children in the mansion." Lu Wan hurriedly called Zhiruo.

"Hurry and help me change my clothes. I have to go out." "Ah? Girl, you have just come back, are you too tired? If you have anything to do, just ask the slave to do it." Zhiruo hurriedly followed the busy Lu Wan Running and shouting.

Lu Wan went straight to her room and dug out a long and narrow ebony box from the large wooden box.

"Help me change into regular clothes. I'm going to see Lao Hanlin. He has been back in Beijing for two days and has never been free."

"Now? It's already dark." Zhiruo was speechless.

"Don't be ink-stained, it will get darker if you are ink-stained."

Zhiruo had no choice but to change her clothes with Xiyan quickly.

The next day.

Early in the morning, Lu Mansion seemed particularly lively.

Xia Jianglian was very diligent. She got up early in the morning to make arrangements and personally served the old lady when she got up and had a meal.

The servants also had their feet greased and ran back and forth happily.

Lu Wan changed into formal clothes and was about to leave the courtyard when she saw Lu Xiuning standing upright at the entrance of the courtyard.

"Brother Ning? Why are you here?"

Lu Xiuning saluted her: "Eldest sister, Ning'er has come to go to the front hall with eldest sister."

Lu Wan pursed her lips and smiled: "Are you nervous?"

"No, Ning'er isn't nervous." Lu Xiuning grinned innocently.

Lu Wan said as she walked: "You must know why my father suddenly tested you all today?"

"Yeah, I know. I said I wanted to choose someone to bear in my mother's name." Lu Xiuning was very calm.

Lu Wan tilted her head and looked at him: "Don't you want to?"

Lu Xiuning immediately shook his head, but when he saw the look in Lu Wan's eyes, he nodded quickly.

"Eldest sister, do you remember that Ning'er is her mother's son in her mother's name? So, Ning'er is not nervous."

Lu Wan stopped and looked at him: "You don't want to be the legitimate son?"

"Eldest sister, the status of legitimate son and concubine is only a matter of birth, but there are many concubines and even commoners in the world who have earned fame through imperial examinations, so Ning'er doesn't care about status."

Lu Wan was delighted: "Sister, I really saw the right person."

"However, it is indeed very difficult to be a concubine. Ning'er is lucky to have the love of her mother and the love and support of her eldest sister. Otherwise, I don't know how long it will take to have a chance to read those books. Ning'er will have a chance to read those books in the future. I will definitely repay my eldest sister for my ability.”

Lu Xiuning's eyes were slightly red and he bowed deeply to Lu Wan.

Lu Wan held his wrist and said, "Ning'er just needs to study hard and become a upright and upright good man in the future. This is how I can repay my eldest sister."

The two of them talked and laughed all the way to the front hall.

Several young masters from the mansion have arrived in the hall.

Lu Wan looked at Yu Xiuyan who was hiding next to her grandmother in surprise. He hugged her neck tightly and looked around with timid eyes. He must have been frightened by being robbed last time.

Is he here too?

Could it be that his father and grandmother still don’t give up and still want him to become a naturalized citizen?

Lu Wan felt funny in her heart.

How would my father and grandmother feel if they knew that the bastard they were trying their best to protect was a bastard from another family?

Lu Shanyuan's eldest son, Lu Xiuxun, was having a long conversation with the Lu family. He had studied at Imperial College for half a year and now looked arrogant.

Lu Wan didn't bother to look at him.

The eldest son of the second wife, the fifteen-year-old Lu Xiuzheng, and the concubine of the third wife, the seven-year-old Lu Xiuyu, were also there.

The two concubines were always suppressed by their grandmother and could not lift their heads. The two boys could only sit on the chairs and remain silent.

"Big girl." Zhiruo walked over quickly and whispered in Lu Wan's ear.

Lu Wan was overjoyed: "Brother Ning, let's go and meet your future husband."

Lu Xiuning was overjoyed: "Ah? Sir is here?"

The eldest sister told him that he was going to hire an old Hanlin to be his husband. He was nervous and excited. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Lu Wan and Lu Xiuning met Lu Shanyuan when they went out.

Lu Shanyuan frowned: "The elders are inside, why are you two running around?"

Lu Wan and Lu Xiuning saluted him.

"Father, the old Mr. Hanlin Bao I mentioned last time has arrived."

"Ah? Then I have to..." Lu Shanyuan was surprised.

Lu Wan interrupted him, "My daughter and Brother Ning can go and greet her. Father, please go in and accompany the patriarchs."

Without waiting for Lu Shanyuan to react, he pulled Lu Xiuning and walked out quickly.
