BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1911
Unfortunately, there were no ifs.
To the country guarding Duke, the night that Lu Zheng returned was a sleepless night.
For the entire Duke Zhengguo’s mansion, except for the children who were still insensible, and the father and son of the third branch, no one else had slept much.
It was understandable that the Lin mother and son could not sleep, but the second branch couple could not sleep either.
Second master Lu and Qin Shi were covered in the quilt and stared at the top of the bed. They did not fall asleep for a long time.
Qin Shi turned to the side and asked second master Lu, ” “Old master, do you think that Lu Zheng came back just for the position of Crown Prince? Also, is it really impossible for our second branch to succeed? Does the Emperor really hold him in high regard?”
Second old master Lu rolled his eyes and did not want to say anything.
Qin Shi punched him,”old master, tell me!” It’ll make it easier for me to treat him in the future, otherwise I’ll implicate you if I make a mistake.”
Second old master Lu thought about it and agreed. The person beside him looked kind but his means were very ruthless. He had learned a lot of means from his sister-in-law over the years.
Originally, when the Lin family fell, he was still confident in dealing with the first branch. At that time, he could let the Qin family start from the back residence. However, that kid Lu Zheng came back. Not only did he come back, but he also made a contribution and gained the emperor’s favor. Most importantly, he found a good Yue family.
In the past, when Gu shouxin was the top scholar, second master Lu did not take him seriously. However, these few years when Gu shouxin came to kun city, kun city changed. Two months ago, he entered the Ministry of Rites. The Ministry of Rites Yamen was very close to the Ministry of official personnel affairs. He wanted to make friends with Gu shouxin, so naturally, he got to know him. Then, he found out that this Lord Gu was really not easy to deal with!
With such a future father-in-law around, he would be a great help!
Second old master Lu was a little unconvinced. His big brother was inferior to him in every way. He was not good at literature or martial arts. Other than having a good-looking face, he had nothing else. They were not as good at war as their father, and they were not good at making friends in the Imperial court. They could not get along with their colleagues, and they were really inferior to him in everything.
But his big brother had a good father-in-law!
Now, his big brother’s son also had a good father-in-law. It was really infuriating!
The Emperor had previously arranged a marriage for a large number of people, including Gu Xin and Lu Zheng. Although the date of their marriage had not been set, the identity of this fiance and husband-to-be was known to everyone. If there were no accidents, Gu shouxin would be Lu Zheng’s good father-in-law.
“Master!” Seeing that he was ignoring her, Qin Shi sat up in anger. However, it was too cold, so she shrank back into her bed and said angrily, ” old master, what are you thinking? why are you ignoring me? ”
“It’s nothing,” Second old master Lu replied and then said, ” let’s just wait and see! You can do whatever you want. He wouldn’t stay in the backyard when he came back. He would wait until he got married! As for the Lin family, you can treat them however you want. Opportunities were reserved for those who were prepared. Madam, I believe you know what to do.”
Qin Shi’s eyes brightened and then she nodded. “Alright, I understand. I’ll go to the Gu family to visit old master and old Madam tomorrow and help Brother Yi build a good relationship with his future mother-in-law.”
Second master Lu said, ” take concubine su with you. My in-law is the Empress’s cousin. She is also related to second Madam Gu’s eldest son-in-law. Take Wen ‘er out for a walk. No matter what, it is not bad to let Wen’ er get in touch with the Gu family’s lady.
