The evil sister is in charge, and the mother is getting married

Chapter 186 Eat slowly, there’s more!
"How did you know we were girls?" Lu Shuxue was very curious about this question. No one had noticed it along the way?

Neither she nor her cousin are short in height, and are considered tall among girls. They also have heroic looks, and they don't look feminine at all when they wear men's clothes. How could the old woman see that at a glance?
"Hahaha, this shows that I am still sharp-eyed and sharp-eared. I am not old yet, haha!"

"I'm going to cut some fruit for you. I just picked it. Come sit down, both of you. Don't be shy."

After saying this with a smile, Mrs. Sheng carried the things into the kitchen. Since the young man had something to say, of course he didn't want anyone else around. She was not a person without good eyesight.

"Hey, old lady, please tell me. How did you figure that out?"

Lu Shuxue is just like that. She likes to get to the bottom of things. If she doesn't get to the bottom of things, she will worry to death. So she chased Mrs. Sheng into the Sheng family's kitchen.

Then she couldn't get out. She squatted on the ground with a piece of watermelon in each hand and started to eat with relish, like a badger in a melon field.

"Eat slowly, there's more!" Mrs. Sheng looked at Lu Shuxue who was squatting on the ground eating melon with a smile. She liked such lively little girls, who were so cute.

"Thank you, mother-in-law. This watermelon is so delicious. I have never eaten it before, hehe!" Lu Shuxue ate the watermelon in big mouthfuls and could no longer remember why she came here.

Mother Sheng walked into the yard carrying the cut watermelon, smiled and waved to Cuizhi who was standing at the door, saying, "Miss, come in too, let's have some watermelon together!"

"Boy, invite your friends to come over and eat watermelon!"

Mrs. Sheng placed the watermelon on the small table in the yard and waved to Ling Er.

Ling Er pinched his temples. Ever since Old Lady Sheng knew his name was Ling Er, she called him the Second Boy. After all, the old lady didn't have any bad intentions. It was just a name, so she just called him that.

But every time she called him, Ling Er's eyes went dark. Er brat? It sounded like she was calling him a fool, which was weird.

"Old lady, I want to discuss something with you. Is that okay with you?" Lu Lingyun smiled and said to Mrs. Sheng.

"Girls should smile more. Your smile is so pretty. Come, eat some watermelon first."

"Try it first, it's delicious. It's grown by my granddaughter. Have a bite first, and then tell me what you want to say. You can decide whether to discuss it or not!"

Mrs. Sheng stuffed a piece of watermelon into Lu Lingyun's hand and urged her to try it quickly. Then she pulled Cuizhi in from the courtyard gate and stuffed a piece of watermelon into her as well.

Lu Lingyun stared at Xigua for three seconds, a trace of emotion that she hadn't felt in many years flashed in her eyes, and her heart suddenly palpitated.

Then she lowered her head and took a bite of the watermelon in her hand, followed by a second bite, and a third bite!
When Cuizhi saw her princess eating like this, she started eating too. After eating it, she felt that this watermelon was really thirst-quenching, sweet and delicious!

"How is it? Delicious, right?" Seeing Lu Lingyun finish one piece, Mrs. Sheng stuffed another piece into her hand.

"Yeah, it's delicious. Thank you, mother-in-law." Lu Lingyun nodded with a smile.

"Girl, you just said you had something to tell this old woman like me, go ahead!" Mrs. Sheng also took a piece of watermelon and started eating, and handed another piece to Cuizhi.

So Lu Lingyun told them that she was going into the mountains to find Lu Li and the others, taking Ling Er away, and Cui Zhi staying behind to protect them. She also told them about her relationship with Lu Li.

"Oh! So you are Xiao Lu's sister, haha, no wonder you are so pretty."

"I thought it was some big deal, sure!"

"It will be safer to have the second boy follow you two. After all, he is a man. It is very dangerous for two girls to go up the mountain!" Mrs. Sheng thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be this matter. She immediately agreed and told Ling Er to take good care of the two girls.

Ling Er didn't show it on his face, he could only roll his eyes in his heart. None of these two needed his protection, their martial arts were no worse than his. What's more, the eldest princess was as perverted as his master, so she didn't need his protection at all!
"Thank you, mother-in-law. We'll leave now. We should still be able to catch up with them. Bye!"

"Cuizhi, you must protect mother-in-law and the others and wait for me to come back!" Lu Lingyun warned seriously.

"Okay, I understand!" Cuizhi nodded vigorously.

Lu Shuxue came out of the Sheng family kitchen, patting her full stomach. She had just eaten grapes and figs, and also a piece of vegetable pancake made by Hui Niang. Each of them was something she had never eaten before, and they were all very delicious. She wished she could grow a few more mouths to eat them all.

She decided to stay at the Sheng family for a few more days and have a good meal when she returned from Daqingshan.

Mother Sheng escorted the three of them to the door, and then, before Ling Er's astonished eyes, she handed Lu Shuxue and Lu Lingyun an axe each. "Girls, if you encounter any danger, don't be afraid. Use this to chop them to death!"

"Be sure to be safe and protect yourself. When you come back, grandma will make you something delicious. Go, go!"

Mrs. Sheng patted Lu Lingyun's hand and gave her instructions.

"Second kid, be smart on the road! Go!"

Ling Er even began to suspect that the old lady of the Sheng family was an axe seller. Why did she like to give axes to other people so much?

"Well, thank you, mother-in-law. We will protect ourselves. We'll go first!" Lu Lingyun said, holding the axe in her hand.

"Mother-in-law, you haven't told me yet, how did you know we were girls?" Lu Shuxue asked with a smile, staring at Mother Sheng.

"Haha, just touch your ears and you'll know. Go quickly, otherwise it will be dark soon!" Mrs. Sheng poked Lu Shuxue's head lightly and said with a smile.

One of these two girls is lively and the other is calm, and they are both pretty. I really don’t know which boy will get them in the future!
"Well, mother-in-law, we're leaving. Goodbye!" Lu Lingyun smiled at Mrs. Sheng, then took the axe and led the way. Ling Er quickly followed.

Lu Shuxue put on a big smile at Mrs. Sheng and chased after her with an axe in her hand, but she touched her ears as she walked.

"Ears? What's wrong with our ears?" Lu Shuxue rubbed her earlobes, then suddenly realized and laughed.

"Hahaha, I get it, it's an ear piercing, hahaha, it's an ear piercing!"

In Dai Viet, only girls would pierce their ears. Others generally wouldn't pay attention to this issue, but Mrs. Sheng is very attentive!

"Grandfather, what should we do? Should we set out to look for our sister?"

In the Prince Wu'an's Mansion, Lu Xiangyuan took Lu Shuxue's message and ran to the old Prince Wu'an's room in two steps, with an anxious look on his face.

"What can I do? Just let it sit!"

"When your sister comes back, I will break her legs and see how she runs away next time!"

"I told her to stop playing with that girl from the Qiao family, but she just wouldn't listen. She doesn't want to learn good things, but instead learns these crooked ways. Last time, the girl from the Qiao family ran away and was almost sold by human traffickers. Now it's Shuxue's turn to run away. But don't worry, she knows martial arts, and if the traffickers meet her, who knows who will be in trouble!"

Lu Heng took the message letter handed over by his grandson, glanced at it casually and threw it aside. He had confidence in his granddaughter. His granddaughter was not a weak person, so there was no need to worry about her safety. When she came back, he would whip her severely.

"Grandfather, Dad is coming back soon. What if he asks about my sister?" Lu Xiangyuan was very anxious at first, but he felt more at ease after hearing what his grandfather said.

"It's easy to find a reason to get rid of your father, that idiot. Just say Shuxue went to help me with the inspection, right?"

"With your father's pig head, he definitely can't tell the difference between truth and falsehood. If he had a clear mind, he wouldn't have been fooled around by that woman. He's just a loser!"

When Lu Heng talked about his son, his expression of disgust was as if this son was not his own. He wished he could strangle this bastard to death right now!
Lu Xiangyuan also fell silent. He looked up at his grandfather again and sighed deeply.

If he and his sister Lu Shuxue had not been brought up by their grandfather when they were young, who knows what their current situation would be like. Every family has its own problems, and his is particularly difficult!

His father, Lu Zhi, was a simple warrior with a simple mind but strong limbs. Not long after marrying their mother, he was stationed at the border. As a result, he met a very capable woman there. When he was only three years old, his father brought this woman back from the border. Seeing that the woman was holding a baby in her arms, his mother was so angry that she fainted.

The family rules set by my grandfather were that men were not allowed to have three wives and four concubines. Firstly, more people meant more money, so he wanted to save money. Secondly, where there were many women, there would be more gossip and quarrels, and he was afraid of both trouble and quarrels. Thirdly, men should focus on their careers and make more money. Love and affection between men and women were unhealthy. If they had energy, they should use it on the battlefield and less in bed. That was a waste of talent, so my grandfather only had one wife in his life, my grandmother.

When my grandfather saw my father bringing a woman back, he whipped his horse so hard that it broke. If the emperor had not personally stepped in to stop him, my grandfather would have planned to use a knife to cut my father's tendons to prevent him from embarrassing himself by doing something wrong outside.

Finally, the father sent the mother and son away, and the matter was settled. However, their mother was so depressed by this blow that she died soon after giving birth to their younger sister.

What made my grandfather most angry was that less than half a year later, my father came back with that woman, and brought back their son and daughter. The little girl was only two months younger than my sister Lu Shuxue.
