Chapter 437 Before Marriage (Part Two)
A thrilling moment ended.

The second master Lu and Wu's group also rushed over in their clothes, and when they saw the blood-stained man in black, they all turned pale with fright.

Afraid of frightening everyone, Shuangrui hurriedly cupped his fists at the second master Lu and explained: "A group of thieves must have seen the princess's rich dowry during the day, so they wanted to rob at night."

He didn't say that these people were killers sent by Huo Tiankang, the purpose was to attack Lu Shuyi, he was afraid that it would cause commotion in the Lu family.

Lu Huo's family is about to get married, so it's better not to let unnecessary troubles happen.

But Lu Shuyi knew in her heart that it was absolutely impossible for these people to simply rob. Now who in Changle Town doesn't know that she is the princess of Uighur?With an extra layer of official status, and that life-or-death thief who dares to rob?
So the answer is obvious. The person who came to assassinate her must not want her to marry into the Huo family. Who else could this person be besides Huo Tiankang?

She knew it well, but she didn't expose it.

Hearing this, the second master Lu suddenly said "Oh", and looked at Shuangrui's face carefully under the light, only then remembered that he was the person next to Huo Tianyou, he was surprised for a moment: "Isn't this the person next to the second young master? How are you here?"

Shuangrui was taken aback for a moment, but he immediately cupped his fists and said, "I was ordered by my son to protect the safety of the princess." He said: "My son is sure that the Uighur warriors will go to Baoding Mansion today to give the dowry. There are few people around to protect, so the day before, we were ordered to come and watch in secret to protect the princess."

Everyone who said something nodded their heads and praised Huo Tianyou for being considerate. Only Lu Shuyi knew in her heart that these people could not be some kind of thieves.

"Then there will be a strong man." Master Lu Er smiled gratifiedly, turned his eyes and pointed at the man in black covered in blood, hesitantly said: "Then how should he deal with it?"

Shuangrui laughed: "Don't worry about that, the thief has his own place to go, I'll hand him over to the government, what do you think?"

"Okay, okay, then I'll have to work." Master Lu nodded in satisfaction, and ordered people to prepare hot soup and hot wine to entertain Shuangrui, but Shuangrui refused to stay. Watching the injured man in black leave Lu's house overnight.

A storm subsided.

But that night, no one slept again, and Wu Shi and Mo Ju didn't dare to close their eyes and guarded Lu Shuyi all night until dawn, when everyone went back to their room and stared for a while.

The Huo family soon sent another person to pick up Dongmei and Dongqing to make a bed.

This kind of thing is usually done by the dowry maids. Before the two girls left, Lu Shuyi specially told them that they must carefully inquire if there is any major event happening in the Huo Mansion recently. Why is the wedding brought forward?
She always felt that the early wedding had nothing to do with the expedition, it was just an excuse.

These two girls went there at five o'clock and came back when the lamps were lit that day.

Mrs. Wu first called over to ask a question,
There were old Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Yang, the third wife, the fourth wife, Lu Zhaoping and Lu Zhaoning gathered in her room. Mrs. Wu asked about the new house prepared by the Huo family for Lu Shuyi, how it was furnished inside, whether it was spacious or not, and how was the surrounding environment? Although these are trivial, they are all things that she wants to know very much as a mother.

She married her daughter for the first time, and she always hoped that her daughter would marry well. At least when she married, she was valued by her husband's family, not that Xiaobaicai was unloved.

Dongmei looked very happy, and standing in front of everyone, she talked about the new house that the Huo family had prepared for Lu Shuyi, "...that room is spacious, much more spacious than the upper room in our house. The furniture is all made of red sandalwood, which is so bright and beautiful, and there are all kinds of porcelain that look very good.”

"...By the way, there is also a very spacious Arhat bed." She stretched her arms and gestured as she spoke, but her arms were not long enough, so she said anxiously: "It's half bigger than our bed, let alone my uncle If you can sleep with Miss, you will be able to sleep even if you raise a few more children in the future."

Everyone laughed at Dongmei's expression and words.

Dongmei herself also found it funny, she stuck out her tongue, and continued: "When the maidservant left, the princess specially arranged for an old nanny to accompany us. Dongqing and I visited the yard where our lady will live in the future, the yard is very spacious and clean, she also said that the second son specially asked someone to move two grapes here a few days ago, saying that our lady likes it..."

Speaking of this, Dongmei herself feels very happy, and she smiles very happily.

After hearing these words, Wu was relieved, she nodded in satisfaction, asked Madam Zhao to reward Dongmei with a silver coin, and said: "When you come to the palace in the future, you will naturally learn the rules from others. If you make a mistake, you will lose the face of the third girl, the face of the Lu family."

In fact, Dongmei also experienced this when she went to the palace today, and she secretly made up her mind that she must serve Lu Shuyi more attentively when she arrives in the palace, and strive not to embarrass her master.

After Mrs. Wu finished asking, she went to ask Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Yang if they had any questions.

In fact, Mrs. Lu has been upset for a long time. Her idea is that people like Dongmei Dongqing should stay in the Lu family. After all, they are approaching their age, and in her opinion, these two girls They don't have any cunning, and they will not be their opponents at all when they go to the Wangfu and those old gingers in the Wangfu.

But Lu Shuyi likes it herself, and she, as a grandmother, has nothing to do.

At this moment, Mrs. Wu asked her if she had anything else to ask, and she said angrily: "You have made arrangements, what else can I ask?"

The smell of gunpowder in these words can be heard by everyone.

In the past, Wu would have bowed her head and smiled apologetically, but this time she didn't. She raised her hand and said to Dongmei naturally: "Since the old lady has nothing to ask, then you can step back, and you will have to ask again tomorrow morning." Getting up early to help the young lady get dressed."

Dongmei answered "yes" and backed away with a smile.

Old lady Lu's face turned black.

Yang's heart felt relieved, thinking that her daughter had been married for so many years and kept her head down. Finally, she raised her head and became a man again today. It seems that being a mother-in-law is different.

She smiled and looked at Wu Shi, "I have to get up early tomorrow morning, so let's go."

Mrs. Wu didn't have any objections, so she ordered someone to send Mrs. Yang back, and then Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu, leaving Lu Zhaoping and Lu Zhaoning alone in the second room for the night.

The third wife was really taken aback by Wu's attitude. It was the first time in so many years that she saw Wu not letting Mrs. Lu step down in front of everyone.So she thought to herself, maybe because Lu Shuyi married a good man, Wu's back would be straight.

Thinking of this, the third wife had another dream in her heart, a dream of marrying her daughter...
