Chapter 100 Sisters
"What's so strange about me getting married?"

"...Who is the bride?" Li An was even more confused. It was very strange that you were getting married. You had to prepare the three books and six ceremonies, choose an auspicious day for the engagement, and even have the wedding dresses embroidered.

How can we make it in time to get married in half a year?
"That's not something you should worry about." Lu Jing said calmly, "You don't need to keep an eye on her these days."

"Yes!"

Su Qingwan got on the carriage and drank a pot of cold tea. Lu Zhu also scolded Lu Jing for going too far, "Miss, don't be angry, let's think of a way. Lu Feng is so angry, maybe he will give me the divorce letter right away."

"I'm not angry!" Su Qingwan's voice sounded very calm.

Lu Zhu thought to herself that she had never seen the girl so angry... or even so furious. When they went to Loulan for business, they were bullied and imprisoned in a water dungeon, but the girl remained calm and composed, and had never been so angry before.

"Yeah, yeah, it's so hot, you just have a dry mouth."

"Go to Nanfeng Tower!"

Su Qingwan came out of the villa and went to Nanfeng Tower to feast on a hearty meal. Luzhu was a girl who loved to eat, but Su Qingwan was not. She was very self-disciplined and had no appetite. She didn't care about the full banquet and didn't care about food, clothing or other expenses. She could wear coarse linen clothes as well as silk and satin.

You can eat coarse food from the mountains and wild, as well as delicacies from the mountains and the sea.

It was the first time that Luzhu met Su Qingwan. She ate so much that Qingqing was a little worried that she was overeating.

"Are you okay, miss?"

"I'm fine, I'm just starving." Su Qingwan said. She had been avoiding food during the period of recuperation, and her mouth was very bland. The table full of sumptuous dishes was a strong shock to her taste buds.

She liked dishes with strong flavors, and she really disliked the light flavors of Beijing food.

You can have a hearty meal at Nanfeng Tower.

A carriage stopped in front of Nanfeng Tower. Su Qingwan's room was next to the window. The carriage was very impressive. Lu Zhu looked downstairs and said in surprise, "Miss, it's the second daughter of the Chen family."

Chen Lanzhu is the second daughter of the Ningyuan Marquisate.

"Go and invite!"

"Yes!"

After Luzhu left the private room, Su Qingwan sent all the maids away. Chen Lanzhu had her hair full of pearl hairpins and was dressed luxuriously. She wore a skirt embroidered with gold thread and a piece of mutton-fat jade around her neck. The jade was snow-white and transparent and very valuable.

"You can really eat a lot. You can eat... one, two, three..." She put her hands on her hips and counted the cups and plates, "sixteen dishes."

Many dishes have not yet been eaten.

"She's even more extravagant than I am."

Su Qingwan laughed and pulled her to sit down. "I was trapped in the mansion. In order to avoid suspicion, I haven't seen you. You look... thinner."

Kyoto women consider thinness as beauty, so it is always right to praise a woman's thinness when meeting her.

"I'm so unlucky!" Chen Lanzhu brought the plate of pork elbows to her and poked into the meat with chopsticks, until the meat was soft and juicy. She picked a piece of fat and was about to put it in her mouth when she asked Su Qingwan, "Am I really thinner?"

"You've lost weight!" Su Qingwan said firmly.

Chen Lanzhu picked up a large piece of fat meat and put it in her mouth. She squinted her eyes and enjoyed it very much. "The elbow is really delicious."

Su Qingwan couldn't help laughing and poured her a cup of refreshing tea.

"How unlucky are you?" "Haven't you heard? Li Xueying got into trouble, and Li San and Prince Jing's marriage fell through. It's my fault." Chen Lanzhu's eyes were full of anger. "What bad luck!"

"I heard that Prince Jing... has a pretty face." Su Qingwan mentioned this implicitly. She had never seen Prince Jing, she had only heard rumors about him.

"Hahahaha, he has a pretty face... Yes, he looks more delicate than a girl. A man should be as handsome and strong as my father and brother. Who looks like him..." Chen Lanzhu was speechless. "He wears women's clothes, and I wear men's clothes. I look more like a husband."

Su Qingwan, "..."

Chen Lanzhu thought drinking tea was boring, so she ordered someone to serve wine. Luzhu brought a jar of wine, and Chen Lanzhu said, "You drink with me!"

"Have you forgotten that I am not good at drinking?"

"You really think you are Zhaolan. You grew up in the southwest, so how could you not be good at drinking?" Chen Lanzhu poured her a glass of wine. "You are the one who caused my unlucky marriage. You must drink a few glasses with me."

Chen Lanzhu said so, Su Qingwan could only sacrifice her life to accompany the gentleman, "I'm sorry, Baozhu."

"My name is Lanzhu!"

"What's the difference?"

"Are you forcing me to call you by your nickname?"

Su Qingwan raised her glass and clinked it with hers. "Come on, let's drink. I'll drink as much as you want."

Su Qingwan and Chen Lanzhu met when they were children. Ningyuan Hou was a bastard's son. When he was young, he fled to Huainan and became a junior general in the army of King Huainan. He accumulated military merits along the way. Because he did not want to get involved in the open and secret struggles in the Hou's mansion, he married and had children in Huainan. His wife was the younger cousin of the Princess of Huainan.

Chen Lanzhu was born and raised in Huainan. She was a childhood playmate of Su Qingwan. Half a year before the incident of King Huainan, something happened in the Ningyuan Marquis's mansion. The Ningyuan Marquis returned to Beijing to take charge of the situation. The old Ningyuan Marquis abolished the legitimate son and established a concubine's son as the heir apparent.

Chen Lanzhu went to the capital with her parents. Not long after, something happened in the Huainan Palace. Although the Ningyuan Marquis's wife was not among the nine clans of the Huainan Prince, she was still forced to change her surname and keep a low profile.

After Su Qingwan went to Beijing, she met Chen Lanzhu by chance, and her identity was exposed by accident. Chen Lanzhu was righteous and willing to lend a helping hand, and only helped her to add fuel to the fire when she just returned to the Lu family.

"If you don't marry Prince Jing, the Marquis and his wife won't force you, right?"

"My father never said anything, but my mother wanted me to get married. Back then..." Although Chen Lanzhu was young, she was sensible and lived a life of fear. The Marquis' wife was even more nervous and had a hard time.

That year, the blood in the Huainan Palace became the nightmare of the Marquis's wife. She hoped that Chen Lanzhu would marry a wealthy woman. No matter what happened, the royal family would always be the most powerful, and it would be nice to be a rich and idle person in the royal family.

"Besides, I lost two of my fiancés, so it's not easy to cancel the engagement." Chen Lanzhu was melancholy. "I've been unlucky for half my life. My first fiancé drowned while fishing, and my second fiancé fell off a cliff while climbing a mountain. It was their bad luck, but why do you blame me for it all, saying that I'm unlucky? Mother said that Prince Jing is not afraid of rumors and is willing to get married, so let's get married, don't make a fuss."

Chen Lanzhu was quite satisfied with her ex-fiancés. They had swam on the lake and played polo together. She thought they were both strong and handsome and were suitable to be husbands.

"Whenever the wedding date is set, I will definitely give you a very beautiful make-up."

"You're really good at talking!" Chen Lanzhu rolled her eyes in an unpleasant tone, "Next March."

March in spring is a good day for getting married.

Chen Lanzhu felt that she was extremely unlucky, but when she thought of Su Qingwan, she felt that she was not so unlucky. Su Qingwan was a young girl who had married for no apparent reason and was about to divorce, becoming an abandoned woman. It would definitely be difficult for her to get married.

The world is so harsh on women that it is difficult to find a husband of your dreams when you remarry.

The personal maids of the two girls at the door couldn't help laughing as they listened to the girls talking to each other and trying to see who was more unlucky.

"By the way, you are well-informed. Do you know which girl Lu Jing has chosen?"
