After the concubine ran away, the cold prince lost control

Chapter 455 I don't like anyone except him

After being scolded by Lu Ji, Lu Ning became a little angry and muttered to himself: "Why is it that every time my second brother breaks the rules, it's okay, but whenever I make a mistake, I get scolded?"

Although he whispered, the Second Lady, who had good hearing, still caught his words, and she scolded him again: "You always like to compare yourself with others in these matters. Why don't you compare yourself with your brothers in academics? Look, who are like you? They are all young and have not yet achieved any academic success. Isn't it shameful?"

Last year in the autumn examination, Lu Ning failed again.

The second wife was very angry about this and would scold her son at every turn.

Seeing that Lu Ning was complained by the Second Lady again, the Duke's wife changed the subject in time: "In the past two years, many people have come to propose marriage to the fifth and sixth girls. Now that the sixth girl's marriage is settled, does the fifth girl still have no one she likes?"

The Duke's wife paused, then continued, "A few days ago, my second sister-in-law mentioned it to me, saying that she was very fond of our fifth girl."

The Duke's wife's words were full of meaning. The Second Lady heard it and said, "Are you talking about my second cousin's brother Yue? I remember that child went to the battlefield with the general a few years ago and made great contributions. He passed the imperial examination last autumn and became a Jinshi."

Seeing the second wife asking about it, the Duke's wife showed a little pride on her face: "Our family has been military generals for generations, and we have a scholar like Brother Yue. Even I, as his aunt, feel proud. My eldest brother also said that with Brother Yue taking the lead, we should train more children and nephews to study in the future. Now that the world is peaceful and there are no more wars, it is time for our general's mansion to change its family."

"Brother Yue is a man of both literary and martial arts, which is rare." The second wife was very concerned about this marriage: "I have seen Brother Yue, but he was still young at that time and looked very handsome. I wonder how he has grown up now?"

The Duke's wife smiled and replied, "Now the child is even more handsome, eight feet tall, and has a handsome appearance. If you are interested, I will find a reason to invite her to my place one day and let you take a look."

The general's mansion was of a well-known family background and was famous for its integrity. In addition, the young man from the Li family was both talented in both civil and military affairs, so the second wife naturally looked forward to it.

"Okay, then it's settled." The Second Lady said readily.

The two sisters-in-law were talking happily here, but the fifth girl couldn't help but look disappointed.

This means that she will be promised to the General's Mansion.

Although the boy from the Li family is good, she already has someone in her heart.

But how could she interrupt such a matter in public, so she kept winking at Qin Xiaoning.

Qin Xiaoning naturally understood what the Fifth Girl meant.

She gave her a soothing look.

When the Fifth Lady's marriage was mentioned, the Second Lady started talking non-stop with the Duke's wife. Seeing this, Lu Ning, who had just been scolded, sat aside and muttered indignantly, "You only care about your sister. Oh! You are so biased."

The Second Lady was only busy talking about her daughter's marriage with the Duke's wife, and this time, she didn't listen to Lu Ning's complaints.

The second wife didn't hear it, but Lu Ji did. Everyone was sitting close to each other, so in fact, not only Lu Ji heard it, but Qin Xiaoning, Xia Yun, and Lu Yu all heard it, but no one would expose him, and Lu Ji just didn't pamper his younger brother.

"Fourth brother, what are you complaining about?" Lu Ji asked.

Lu Ning had always been afraid of this dignified and solemn brother, so upon hearing this, he immediately said, "I didn't say anything."

Lu Ji smiled faintly: "Why do I hear you complaining about only worrying about the fifth sister's marriage."

Today was a family reunion, and Lu Ji had just finished having an intimate moment with his lovely wife in the room, so the man was in a good mood, and he had some naughty thoughts, and wanted to tease his younger brother on purpose.

"Are you anxious to get married again?" Lu Ji asked. When Lu Ning heard this, his face changed with fear: "How could I be anxious about this? Second brother, please don't wrongly accuse me."

Upon hearing this, the Second Madam left the Duke's wife behind and turned to look at her son and asked, "Are you really worried?"

"I" Lu Ning stammered: "No, no."

Although the boy said this, his panicked expression had already betrayed him.

The second wife rolled her eyes at her son. "Look at you, you are so useless. You don't study hard, but you are anxious to find a wife."

Lu Ning blushed immediately with embarrassment.

Seeing this, the Duke's wife came out to smooth things over: "Ning'er is already young, it's time to discuss marriage."

Upon hearing this, the Second Lady immediately retorted, "He is neither good at literature nor martial arts. Why would you arrange a marriage for him? Let's wait until he has achieved fame and success."

"It is natural to pursue fame and fortune, but it should not delay the child's marriage." The Duke's wife said: "Marriage and fame and fortune are equally important."

With the support of the Duke's wife, Lu Ning immediately became energized.

He raised his head, with a look of grievance on his slightly childish face: "Aunt is right, getting married is as important as studying. Now my three brothers are married, and I am the only one who is still single." As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at Lu Yu, Lu Ji, and Lu Yu, his tone revealing indignation: "They are all in pairs, loving each other, but I am the only one who is still alone. How can I feel balanced?"

The young man felt more and more aggrieved as he spoke. He snorted and continued, "Now even my fifth and sixth sisters, who are younger than me, are engaged one after another. From now on, I will be the only one who is single. Oh! Am I really going to be alone forever without passing the imperial examination?"

After listening to Lu Ning's grievances, Lu Ji stopped teasing him, but squeezed out a trace of sympathy and turned to the second wife and said, "Second Aunt, then arrange a marriage for Fourth Brother."

"Yes, for a family like ours, we don't have to rely on fame to gain a future. Silang is smart, even if he doesn't pass the exam, he can find a job and gain some experience in a few years, and then he won't have to worry about having no future." The Duke's wife also advised: "You still have to study hard, and you can't delay your marriage."

The Second Madam hesitated after hearing this: "Let's talk about it later. He is neither good at literature nor martial arts. I'm afraid he can't be called a good girl."

As spring arrives and flowers bloom, the breeze blows and the fragrance of peach blossoms fills the garden.

The family drank and chatted until the moon rose above the willow trees and then they gradually dispersed.

After leaving Taohuawu, Lu Ji took Qin Xiaoning and was about to go back to the brothel. But when they were halfway there, they were stopped by the Fifth Girl.

"Second sister-in-law, come here, I have something to tell you."

The fifth girl looked anxious, snatched Qin Xiaoning's hand from Lu Ji, and was about to leave. Lu Ji quickly blocked her way: "It's so late, what's the urgent matter that requires you to be so anxious?"

The fifth girl stamped her feet anxiously: "Anyway, it's an urgent matter. Second brother, please lend me your second sister-in-law for a while."

Lu Ji had no choice but to let the two of them go: "Just for a moment, it's getting late and cold outside."

The Fifth Miss was extremely anxious, but she had no time to argue with Lu Ji. She dragged Qin Xiaoning to a secluded place and said anxiously, "Look, when the eldest aunt mentioned the general's mansion today, my mother was 100% willing. What should we do now?"

She was so anxious that she was about to cry: "Second sister-in-law, I just want to marry Du Jingxuan. Apart from him, I don't like anyone else."
