Chapter 180 Her Marriage is in the Emperor's Hands
Pei couldn't help but pause when she heard her thoughts. She didn't expect that half a year later, this girl still felt insecure.
In each mansion, a girl’s private property was divided out of her mother’s dowry.
As you get older, you will own more and more shops.
The sisters Lu Xintong and Lu Xinling acquired two shops from the Kong family some time ago, and Lu Xinlan has acquired a lot of private property from the Zhao family over the years.
Farms, shops, sets of head ornaments, and whole boxes of pearls and jade. As the eldest daughter of the Lu family, she has the most private property, even more than Lu Yuanheng, the eldest son.
Normally, when she came back, Zhao should have given her a portion of these things.
But... thinking of Zhao's stupid and stubborn mind, she couldn't help but have a headache.
It doesn’t matter that this girl doesn’t have a mother to take care of her, she still has a grandmother.
Her dowry and the precious jewels and jades she had acquired over the years as the old lady of the Lu family were enough to support her partiality.
He was thinking about how to move the things in his warehouse to Lu Xinran bit by bit, and the carriage had already stopped in front of Lu's mansion.
Lu Jinchuan's carriage was just in front of them. When they got off, Lu Jinchuan and his two sons had already gotten off and were waiting at the door.
He wanted to come forward to help Pei get out of the car, but Pei glared at him and he took a step back embarrassedly.
"Ma'am, I have something to discuss with you."
He smiled in a flattering manner. Pei rolled her eyes but did not refuse. She glanced at him coldly and walked into the mansion first.
Not being rejected was a great thing, so Lu Jinchuan hurriedly followed her into the mansion.
Lu Xinran curled her lips in disdain. It is said that belated affection is cheaper than grass. The fact that this old scumbag doesn't even have the so-called affection only shows that he is even cheaper.
Lu Jinchuan, who was walking in front, staggered and almost fell out after hearing this complaint.
He turned around and glared at Lu Xinran in what he thought was a stern look.
But as luck would have it, Lu Xinran just turned sideways to talk to Lu Xinlan, causing his angry eyes to be directed at the air.
In Zhaoyun Courtyard, Lu Jinchuan didn't know how long it had been since he had a meal with Pei.
In the past, his heart was inclined towards the two concubines. Even without them, he still had a concubine who was old and good-looking to accompany him for meals.
He never thought there was anything special about dining with his old wife.
Only when you lose something do you know how to cherish it. He sat in the place where he once didn't want to stay any longer, feeling extremely complicated.
Pei was too lazy to look at his hesitation to speak. After dinner, she had someone help her wash and change her clothes so that she could completely relax. Then she leaned back on the couch and glanced at Lu Jinchuan.
"Tell me what you want to discuss."
"It's the marriage of two children."
Lu Jinchuan knew that she didn't like to beat around the bush, so he just told her what he was thinking.
"Girl Xinlan is destined not to marry the Fourth Prince. It's just as well this way. Your Majesty is in his prime, and we should just be loyal subjects. It would be bad to have too much involvement with the princes.
“But she is already not young anymore. After His Majesty arranges a new marriage for the Fourth Prince after the New Year, her marriage should also be put on the agenda.
"I have met a student recently who is excellent in both knowledge and conduct. Although he has not yet graduated from high school, he will definitely be able to pass the imperial examination this spring with his knowledge.
"With the help of the boss and I, his future will not be bad. I thought I might as well tell Xinlan to him."
Pei knew that he and Lu Kangde had been arranging marriages for the two maids for some time, but she didn't expect that he would want to arrange such a marriage for Lu Xinlan.
"Whose family is this kid from? He's attracted to our Xinlan," she looked at Lu Jinchuan sarcastically, "but what benefits did he promise you and the boss?"
Lu Jinchuan seemed to be seen through by her and became angry and embarrassed.
"Is that how you see me?"
"Did you see it wrong? I have seen your character for a lifetime. You will not do anything without benefits. Why would you come to me and be humble without benefits?"
The mockery in Pei's eyes became particularly glaring in the dim candlelight.
Lu Jinchuan wanted to refute, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say a word.
"Okay, the marriages of the two girls are not up to you, and no one can think of exchanging their lifelong affairs for benefits.
"Lu Jinchuan, if you still have some dignity left, then don't do anything that would make me look down on you.
"You are already the Minister of Justice. As long as you don't make any mistakes, you will be able to retire smoothly. People, don't be too greedy."
As a mother, how could she not know what kind of person Lu Kangde was? He had no ability and no courage, and he only barely achieved the fifth rank in his middle age.
Since he couldn't get promoted on his own, he tried these crooked ways... How could Pei Mingyue raise such a shameless son!
Lu Jinchuan gritted his teeth and sat down again.
"Let's put Xinlan's marriage aside for now and discuss Xinran's marriage."
"What is there to discuss about her marriage?"
Pei was amused by his expression of enduring humiliation and bearing a heavy burden: "Have you ever thought about whether His Majesty would have some ideas about Xinran's ability?"
Lu Jinchuan was startled and then looked at his wife.
"You mean..."
"I didn't say anything. I just asked you not to worry about the marriages of the two children. Okay, it's getting late. You should go back to the front yard."
Pei yawned, feeling that it was a mistake to let him into Zhaoyun Courtyard today.
Lu Jinchuan went out and returned to the front yard with a heavy heart.
He originally wanted to stay with a thick face. They were a young couple and there was no way they would have so much grudges.
He was confident that he could comfort Pei for a few days and make her the same as before.
But what she just said shocked him, and he was worried about whether the emperor would interfere in Lu Xinran's marriage.
If he intervenes, who will he marry her to?
Lu Xinran returned to his yard and took a comfortable bath.
After enjoying a delicious meal, he fell asleep on the bed.
"Tongzi, have you settled today's big melon?"
"It's settled. I gave you half a month's worth of life."
The baby's voice appeared in his mind with a light tone, and Lu Xinran couldn't help being a little surprised.
“You actually gave so much?”
Isn’t this melon-eating system super stingy?
Every time they only give us three to five days at most, why are they so generous as to give us half a month this time?
"Maybe the previous ones were all settled together?"
The system was happily calculating how long it would take to upgrade. Today, they not only ate the Gu family's melons, but also ate a lot of small melons. All in all, it took nearly half a month.
They already have three years and two months of life value, and five years is not far away~
Lu Xinran turned sideways and hugged the quilt, "Maybe, let's try harder and strive to make it five years sooner!"
She now wants to know what benefits the system will bring her after the upgrade.
If she could eat the melon without any distance restrictions, her life would be completely saved.
