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

Chapter 93 Prepare for a big show

Lu Wan and Aunt Liu walked out together.

"Wan'er, I don't have much money, so I can't give you anything to add makeup to, so I have to embroider a few square handkerchiefs. Don't dislike it for your daily use."

Lu Wan smiled: "My aunt's craftsmanship has always been good. You embroidered and made all my father's clothes and purses by yourself. How could I dislike it? I wish my aunt could embroider handkerchiefs with flowers all year round for me."

"As long as you are willing to ask for it, my aunt will embroider it for you." Liu Chunyan changed her usual caution of leaving five cents in her work and tried her best to please Lu Wan.

After these days, she finally understood that Mr. Hou was confused and soft-eared.

The old lady is weak-minded, and no one in the entire Hou family can be trusted.

She couldn't stop Zhao Ruyi from ascending to the throne, and she couldn't stop Lu Wan from getting a mistress into the house to support Zhao Ruyi.

In this case, she knew that to protect herself, she had to choose who to side with.

The mistress was personally selected by Lu Wan, and if she said a few good words, she would have an easy life under her mistress in the future.

The important thing is that his son's future may depend on Lu Wan.

I have the support of the eldest princess and the prince and queen.

"Miss, are you free now? Come to my place to pick out the patterns you like?"

Lu Wan happened to be looking for her, so she followed suit and said, "Okay."

The maids of Chun Hua Yuan were overjoyed to see the eldest lady coming in person, and brought the best refreshments without any instructions.

Lu Wan felt that it was very cold in the room and glanced at it: "Hey, why is there no charcoal stove? It's been snowing heavily these days, how can I stand it?"

"Yes, burn it quickly and bring it in." Liu Chunyan looked apologetic.

Xingyu brought a Tang Pozi, and Liu Chunyan handed it to Lu Wan personally, helped her to the warm couch, and covered her feet with a quilt.

"First hold Yu Pozi warmly."

Lu Wan understood: "Isn't it time to release the charcoal? But the cost has been deducted?"

Liu Chunyan snorted: "As soon as she took charge of the house, she reduced our daily food expenses, and then halved the charcoal fire and other expenses. She was so smart that she only wanted to guarantee the old lady and the Marquis. The Marquis loved her and gave her own Give her some more, since the others are not human beings. The second and third bedrooms are very angry, but what can be done?"

"The masters of the second and third bedrooms are all thinking of ways outside. I am miserable, no one can be relied on. Miss, have you heard? Zhao Ruyi is also planning to lay off people. People in the mansion are in panic these days, no? I know who will be kicked out. People are talking about it. If she becomes the mistress, everyone will have a hard time. "

Lu Wan looked at her, it turned out that he came to her to complain.

"Oh, look what I'm talking about." Liu Chunyan told Xingyu, "Go and bring the handkerchief patterns for the eldest girl to choose."

"Hey." Xingyu turned around happily.

After the charcoal stove was lit, the two maids carried it into the room. The room suddenly became warmer, and Lu Wan felt better.

"No matter what, we can't freeze." Lu Wan hugged Mrs. Tang, "The Marquis Mansion still has to find a rich mistress, otherwise, life will be difficult."

"No." Liu Chunyan lowered her voice: "Yesterday, Mr. Hou and I had a quickie, and Mr. Hou was moved. As long as Mr. Hou nods, that bitch can't do anything."

"My aunt has always served my father properly, and my father will also listen to you." Lu Wan said with a smile.

Liu Chunyan laughed sarcastically: "I'm just a maid, how can the Marquis listen to me? Miss Xia, just say a few nice words for me and give me a place to stay."

Lu Wan chuckled lightly: "If you want to get something, you have to pay for it. Otherwise, why would anyone help you? Auntie, don't you think so?"

It's true that he knows how to calculate at such a young age.

But in order to have a better life in the future, she can only please first.

Liu Chunyan said respectfully: "You can tell me whatever you want, young lady, and I will definitely do it."

Are you calling yourself a slave?
Lu Wan raised her eyelids and glanced at her, then said slowly, "Have you ever had Juezi soup?"

Liu Chunyan's expression changed, "Slave... I haven't drank."

"Then you know." Lu Wan smiled half-heartedly.

As a veteran of the Hou family, Liu Chunyan always knew how to protect himself wisely, how could he not know something?

It's best if Liu Chunyan is not an accomplice, otherwise, she will never let him go!

"Also... I heard about Grandma He last time." Liu Chunyan stuttered.

Not telling the truth, right?

Lu Wan smiled, placed Mrs. Tang on the coffee table, and got up to sit down.

Zhiruo put on her shoes and gathered her cloak.

"Auntie will come back to me after she has figured it out. It is certain that Miss Xia will enter the house. I, Lu Wan, must do what I want to do. I will never tolerate Zhao Ruyi and her daughter trampling on the dignity of my mother and me, and will also The Hou Mansion is in a state of chaos."

"And you, you have to recognize the situation clearly. It is impossible for you to try to be a mere mediocre person. If you want to keep the future of glory, wealth and eldest brother, you must know how to take advantage of your own advantages, use them, and leverage on others. "To achieve your goal, I think my aunt can figure out which side to take."

Lu Wan dropped a bunch of words to hit her and left.

Xingyu came in with a lot of flowers and saw Liu Chunyan sitting weakly on the warm couch.

"Auntie, what's wrong? Why is the eldest girl gone?" Xingyu saw the eldest girl as if she were seeing a Bodhisattva who was rescuing those in distress.

"Xingyu, if your stepmother enters the house, will you tolerate me and the eldest son?" Liu Chunyan looked sad.

"Of course I will. Anyone who enters the house is a newcomer, so why don't you win over the old ones first? Besides, who can take my aunt's place in the Marquis's heart?"

"What's the place in Lord Marquis's heart?" Liu Chunyan smiled bitterly: "What place can a humble slave have?"

"Of course. You have the eldest son of a concubine. You have served the Marquis for the longest time. You are most familiar with the Marquis's character and serve him the most appropriately."

Liu Chunyan rolled her eyes: "You are right."

This is her advantage.

Lu Wan wanted her to be her eyes and mouth.

As for the matter of Juezi Tang, she must not be involved. If the incident comes to light, she will be beyond redemption!
After Lu Wan finished dinner, Xingyu came to tell Lu Wan that Mr. Hou was having dinner at Chunhua Courtyard tonight. Aunt Liu told the official media about the situation of the four girls brought there, and specially praised Miss Xia. Mr. Hou He wasn't angry at all, and even asked Miss Xia some questions after listening attentively.

"Okay, reward." Lu Wan smiled.

Xingyu happily held the silver reward and left happily.

It happened that my grandfather's good friend Lao Hanlin had already replied, saying that he would return to Beijing in the next two days, and promised to check on the child's condition first.

That's good enough. As long as he is willing to see Lu Xiuning, he will definitely like him.

She knew that this old Hanlin cherished his talents and did not want to serve in the court, but he liked to teach students.

Lu Wan wrote a letter to Xia Jianglian and asked Mingxiao to send it to her overnight.

She can create opportunities, but people have to fight for them.

What is too easy to obtain is often not cherished.

Moreover, she didn't want the traces of her doing this to be too deep. Her father and her family were in love with each other, and it was natural for her to marry him as his wife.

Based on her understanding of her father, when his father is sober, he will definitely agree to accept a woman with official status as his stepmother.

Because, like his grandmother, he wants to save face.

Now that there is such a good candidate in front of him, will he still take Zhao Ruyi's friendship into consideration?

As expected, Xia Jianglian is a good person.

After receiving Lu Wan's letter, I immediately wrote a reply. At the same time, I wrote a letter to Lu Shanyuan and arranged to meet in person.

The letter was asked to be handed over to Lu Wan at dawn, saying that if she felt it was inappropriate, this method should not be used. If Lu Wan felt it was good, then please find a way to give it to Lu Shanyuan.

Lu Wan was very happy. If a woman takes the initiative, it will be difficult for a man to resist.

What's more, she is a pretty girl with a huge fortune behind her, and her father's official position is in the Ministry of Household Affairs, where he has a powerful position, so it is impossible for his father not to be moved.

Lu Wan personally delivered the letter to Mrs. Lu's Yishou Hall.

Madam Lu was naturally happy, as long as Miss Xia entered the house, all problems would be solved.

But she didn't want her son to think that she was forcing him, so she pretended to think for a while: "Since you personally selected such a good person, why not tell your father in person? Let your father know your filial piety."

Old fox!
Lu Wan cursed secretly.

"Okay, for her father's sake, it's worth it for her granddaughter to be scolded by her father."

Her aggrieved expression made Mrs. Lu feel a little uncomfortable. She felt that she had seen through her, and she was a little embarrassed.

"Go and ask Mr. Marquis to come over in person, saying that I have something important to discuss with you." Old Madam Lu ordered Mother Wu bravely.

Lu Wan held the tea cup and lowered her eyes.

On the 25th, the door to hell will be opened for Zhao Ruyi, mother and son.

The more excitement, the better.

Does Lu Mansion think that by marrying Xia Jianglian, she can replace her mother and make the Hou Mansion glorious?

Delusion!

Two updates today, let’s see if it’s still early in the morning. On days when there are no recommendations, the data keeps dropping, which makes me feel sad.
