The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 98: Prince Lang: My family has more and more enemies...

Lang Jiuchuan returned to his yard anxiously and sat down. Jianlan didn't dare to breathe, because the expression on the girl's face was really unpredictable.

She carefully handed a cup of hot tea to Lang Jiuchuan, who took it and drank it all.

"Girl, be careful of the heat..."

"Cough cough."

Lang Jiuchuan choked and waved his hands.

Jianlan quickly handed her a handkerchief and reached out to stroke her back. When she touched her, she realized that there was not much flesh on her back and she could even feel the bones.

Jianlan lowered her head, feeling a little sad, and her eyes became red.

Lang Jiuchuan inadvertently saw her red eyes and said, "What's wrong with you? I just choked a little. I won't punish you, don't worry."

"I would like the young lady to punish me." Jianlan muttered in a low voice, "In this way, the young lady will be more like a young lady, not a young lady who comes here as a guest."

Lang Jiuchuan had a calm temperament. She would not get angry with her servants at will, nor would she make a fuss over the slightest dissatisfaction. She made people feel that she was easy to serve, and except for the study room, which was not allowed to be entered at will, everything else seemed to be unimportant to her.

It was precisely because of her behavior that people felt like she was a guest at the Marquis's mansion. She had very clear boundaries and would not easily cross them.

This makes people feel that she has no sense of belonging to the Marquis' Mansion, and naturally treats the people around her as if they were outsiders, indifferent, distant, and polite.

Lang Jiuchuan heard the dullness in the tone and raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you really think I'm your boss? How long have you been working for me?"

Jianlan's eyes became redder, and she said, "Everyone has their own destiny. It doesn't matter if the girl doesn't believe it."

As she spoke, she knelt down and bowed, then bowed and walked out. When she reached the door, she turned her head and seemed to want to say something, but in the end she didn't.

As she was leaving, he said, "Look at how you hurt the girl. How can you still doubt her sincerity?"

"It's easy to hurt yourself if you are sincere." Lang Jiuchuan murmured.

Jiang Che asked again, "Let's not talk about this. What happened to you just now? You were so emotional and said you wanted to leave. Didn't you say that you would not leave for the time being in order to seek the protection of the Lang family's ancestors?"

"I suspect that the people who are against the Lang family are the same group that are against me. Although the Lang family has had political enemies and enemies in the past, there has never been one that used Xuanmen techniques to cause harm like this. I came back as Lang Jiuchuan, and this disaster happened. Is it a coincidence? If it was really caused by me, it would be better for them if I leave."

The general fell silent.

It stared at Lang Jiuchuan for a long while before uttering, "If I call you a jinx, would you dare to answer?"

Yes, it is impossible to respond!
You can hit me!
Lang Jiuchuan grabbed its spiritual consciousness, squeezed it hard, and used the whisk thread of the Emperor Bell to tie it into a strip.

Tell you to have a foul mouth.

The general cried out in pain, preferring to offend a villain rather than the evil and vicious Langjiu. Why did it just not believe in evil?

Lang Jiuchuan vented his anger before letting him go. He snorted heavily, "Hurry up and get to work. No matter how big or small the matter is, find out everything you can." Jiang Che: "..."

This is not how enslaving tigers works.

It walked away feeling aggrieved under Lang Jiuchuan's stare.

Lang Jiuchuan waited until it left before he held his chin with both hands and sighed. If she was really a jinx, how would he explain it to Lang Zhengping? He felt a little guilty.

Lang Zhengping, who was being talked about, sneezed as he was listening to the report from his confidant.

"...Lu Changxue, the doctor of the Ministry of Works, is a diligent and kind person. He always shows some mercy to others, never offends anyone, and never tries to be the first to take the blame. He always handles things properly, and is very popular among the people in the Ministry of Works." Gu Quan crossed his hands in his sleeves and replied, "Mrs. Lu was born in a scholarly family in Xuzhou, Jiangnan. After marrying Lord Lu, she has been taking care of her husband and children in the backyard. She is very virtuous. After her sons got married, they mostly worshipped Buddha. Until now, she goes to the Huguo Temple to burn incense and fast for a day on the first day of every month, rain or shine. Now the Lu family's household is managed by Grandma Lu San, and it is managed in an orderly manner."

"The third daughter-in-law is in charge of the household, what about the first two?"

"The eldest daughter-in-law is on a mission with Master Lu, the second daughter-in-law is the niece of Lord Yao from Jingzhao, and this Third Grandma Lu is from the Longxi Li family. Although she is a branch of the family, she is the one with the highest status compared to the previous two sisters-in-law. However, she is extremely respectful to Madam Lu and will ask her mother-in-law for everything."

A member of the Longxi Li clan.

Lang Zhengping thought about it carefully. With such a background, she should be arrogant, but she is very respectful to her mother-in-law. Is it really because of her upbringing, or is it because of something else?

"The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Lu family have a reputation for being virtuous and gentle in the Beijing circle, and they get along well with many wives of powerful people." Gu Quan talked about the information he had investigated, and suddenly said: "There is another interesting story. I heard that once Lord Lu took his wife to a banquet. Just because someone at the table jokingly asked Lord Lu to write a poem for the Hu concubine who was dancing at the time, Mrs. Lu just glanced at Lord Lu lightly, and Lord Lu escaped under the pretext of going to the bathroom."

Lang Zhengping was surprised: "I've never heard that Lu Changxue is a henpecked husband."

Gu Quan nodded and said, "His two concubines were married to him by Madam Lu herself. He can't be called a henpecked husband, but I heard that he respects his wife very much."

Lang Zhengping nodded. A virtuous wife brings less trouble to her husband. A virtuous wife can bring three generations of good sons. It is right for men to respect and honor their legitimate wives. This is not a problem.

But he was scared by just one look. He closed his eyes and thought carefully about the good old man Lu Changxue. After thinking about it, there was nothing wrong with it.

That is to say, the person who really has the final say in the Lu family is this Mrs. Lu?

"Someone, go and invite..." Lang Zhengping started to speak but stopped himself.

Forget it. Someone from the Qi family came today. I heard that Lang Jiuchuan was so scared that her face turned pale and she almost died. I think she is still resting now, so I won’t disturb her.

Fortunately, the letter from the Gong family arrived in time today. When he heard the news, he immediately made a decisive decision and asked the maid to deliver the letter to his brother's wife in the front yard, and explained the origin of the letter in front of the Qi family.

It would also let the arrogant Qi family know that their Lang family is not unfamiliar with the Xuan clan, so if they want to come to their house to cause trouble, they have to think twice.

But then he thought about the fact that the people from the Qi family came because Lang Jiuchuan had a conflict with the domineering county lady of the Qi family. This kid's bad luck came true again. Lang Zhengping was speechless and a little awed.

"If it weren't for the death of Aunt Rong and my cousin, the Lu family would look like an ordinary family, quite clean. But because of the sudden death of the two, people feel that it is not simple. Use the current people to keep an eye on the Lu family. Find some new faces, the inconspicuous ones, to follow the Lu family, especially Madam Lu. Follow them carefully regardless of the length of time. The necessary expenses will be paid by the government."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Also send a group of people to keep an eye on the Qi family and report back at any time if there's any news." Lang Zhengping rubbed his sore temples. What was going on? It felt like their family was making more and more enemies?
