Chapter 226
The traffic conditions at this time were not as good as those in later generations. Roads in various places were easy to travel in the peaceful and prosperous times, but it would take a month or two to go back and forth to the south, and communication was also difficult.It was only after Lu Hanzhi got married and had children that he understood his parents' thoughts. It was a good thing for scholars to go out for a walk and experience, but after being away for such a long time, it was rare to send home books and reports of safety. How could the parents at home not be worried?
Lu Hanzhi does not regret sponsoring Lu Minzhi to go out. Lu Minzhi is a person with strong opinions. He made his own decision. Even if no one supports him, he can go. At most, he will suffer more. Besides, Lu Hanzhi knows that although her mother does not agree, , I also gave Lu Minzhi money in private. What can I do? The mother is not worried about her child running away, but she is even more worried about her child suffering outside!It's just that Lu Minzhi's future wife is different. They are relatives with Lu Minzhi. They have been together for many years, so they will naturally trust and tolerate him. However, Lu Minzhi's fiancée has not gotten along with him very much, so she must have the opportunity to slowly build up feelings and trust.

"Grandma thinks too much. I see that the Chen family girl is reasonable and can tolerate the second young master. What's more, the second young master likes to run away now, but when he gets married in the future, maybe it will change?" Bicao didn't. So worried, the second young master is so smart, how can he not even manage to get along well as a husband and wife?

Although Lu Hanzhi worried about Lu Minzhi for a while, in the end she couldn't control her brother. Thinking about it again, Lu Minzhi would have to take the exam to become an official in the future, so he wouldn't have time to run away.Putting this matter aside, Lu Hanzhi looked at the stack of lists in his hand and heard that Wang Xueran was here.

Hearing Wang Xueran's arrival, Lu Hanzhi frowned slightly, "Aren't the second siblings going to have a good rest? Why are you here at this time?"

Unbeknownst to the little maid, Lu Hanzhi got up to meet the guests.

Everyone in the house knew about Wang Xueran's pregnancy, so they welcomed her in and treated her well. When Lu Hanzhi came over, Wang Xueran was drinking water from a cup.Seeing Lu Hanzhi coming over, Wang Xueran was about to stand up and salute, but Lu Hanzhi forced him to sit down, "The second brother and sister are pregnant, why bother with these false gifts, sit down quickly!"

Wang Xueran smiled and said: "Thank you, sister-in-law. The doctor said I need to rest, but I'm used to being busy. I just felt uncomfortable after lying in the room for a long time, so I just went out for a walk. Sister-in-law, please don't think I'm causing trouble."

Lu Hanzhi thought to himself, knowing that he would cause trouble, why didn't he keep her in the yard honestly? With all the people in Cheng Junxu's room, and Wang Xueran's hateful character, if something happened to her, Lu Hanzhi would not be surprised at all.With this thought in his mind, Lu Hanzhi couldn't just tell him not to come, so he just smiled and said: "After all, the children are more important. I didn't like staying in the house at first, but for the sake of the children, I listened to the elders and saw that Brother Chen was safe and sound. , I feel that whatever I did in the first place was worth it.”

Lu Hanzhi said it politely, but Wang Xueran felt that Lu Hanzhi said it deliberately. Like Mrs. Liang, he wanted her to go back to the house to rest and take back the housekeeping rights.She thought so in her heart, but now she still needs Lu Hanzhi as an ally, and added: "What my sister-in-law said is that I just learned housekeeping from my aunt and mother, and I have just started to master it now. If I let it go for a year or two, I won't learn as much as I did before." Is it all in vain? I think my sister-in-law understands this."

After saying this, Lu Hanzhi understood what Wang Xueran meant.Lu Hanzhi did not think that Wang Xueran was full of power. From Wang Xueran's point of view, as the second wife, they did not have much power, and even less power was given to her as the daughter-in-law.But now that Wang Xueran is pregnant, what Liang will do next is to use this as an excuse to ask Wang Xueran to hand over her power to support the pregnancy.

If it were Lu Hanzhi, it would certainly be a good thing to take care of her baby regardless of these chores. After all, Mrs. Zheng had always taken care of her, and Cheng Junze had always loved her. Even if she didn't have the power of a housekeeper, she couldn't bear the grievances.But Wang Xueran was different. Cheng Junxu was weak-willed and unreliable, and Liang wanted to suppress her at every turn. From Wang Xueran's point of view, losing the right to be a housekeeper probably didn't make her feel safe.

And since Wang Xue was pregnant, it was a reasonable suggestion for Liang to ask Wang Xueran to hand over the housekeeper's affairs so that she could raise the baby with peace of mind. Wang Xueran couldn't say that the housekeeper was more important than the child, right?Probably because she wanted to increase her chances of winning, she approached Lu Hanzhi, who was also the daughter-in-law of the Cheng family. Lu Hanzhi successfully gave birth to the eldest grandson of the Cheng family. Lu Hanzhi's words were much more useful than hers.

There was no problem with the idea, but Lu Hanzhi sighed and said, "Have you forgotten the second brother and sister? When I was pregnant with Brother Chen, I stopped taking care of the family affairs. Now that Brother Chen is so old, I am also taking care of the child in the house. !”

Wang Xueran knew about this when she got married. At that time, she thought Lu Hanzhi was worthless, but if he had a child, he would lose even the power of the housekeeper.Later, it gradually became apparent that Mrs. Zheng was looking towards Lu Hanzhi as her daughter-in-law. She was also the daughter-in-law of the Cheng family, the wife of the crown prince, and the legitimate mistress of the Cheng family in the future. Cheng Junze was devoted to guarding her as his wife. Just imagine if she was in this situation. In Lu Hanzhi's position, does he need to go to great lengths to do these things?

"So I want to ask sister-in-law for help, so I would like to ask sister-in-law to help me take care of these things." Wang Xueran looked at her coldly. Mrs. Zheng is not a lover of power. Mrs. Zheng is not afraid of taking back her power and taking charge of her. She is just afraid of Liang. Mrs. Li took the opportunity to seize the power, but it was in Liang's hands that it would be difficult for her to get it back.Of course, the best situation is to stay in her own hands. There is not much conflict of interest between her and Lu Hanzhi. She is the eldest daughter-in-law of the second house, and they will be separated sooner or later. She just wants to live a more comfortable life while she is in the house. .

Lu Hanzhi understood what Wang Xueran meant, and said that they were in charge together. Wang Xueran probably didn't need her to do anything. She was just using Lu Hanzhi's name to retain power.Because of the Cheng family's losses, the power assigned to Wang Xueran was still a relatively important part of the inner court purchase. Not to mention some benefits, could I still use good things in the Cheng family with this power?Naturally, Wang Xueran didn't want to let go, so it's not surprising that Mr. Liang wanted to grab it.

It sounds like a win-win situation, and you can get a lot of benefits without any effort, but Lu Hanzhi is not that short-sighted.The Lu family is not as wealthy as the Cheng family, but it is also a well-established family. The children taught by the Lu family do not just take things at face value.

Wang Xueran said it nicely, but since his name was on the record, if something went wrong, Lu Hanzhi would have to bear the responsibility. Of course, Lu Hanzhi was not afraid of taking this responsibility, but the important thing was that Wang Xueran was pregnant. Please stay safe in Yuyuan. There are many restless people. If something happens to Wang Xueran and her child, who knows if Wang Xueran will get involved with her?Lu Hanzhi is willing to get along well with her sister-in-law, but she is not happy to be someone else's shield.
