Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 186 Dignified and Noble (3)
Lu Fusheng also thought that his wife was sincerely thinking about his sister-in-law who had just returned to Lian's family, so he hurriedly said, "Father-in-law, don't worry, although my son-in-law has no great skills, he still knows some people. This time, I will help my sister find a young talent. Even if you want to treat your sister well, you must also be worthy of the Lian family's family background."

Xianglai had been sitting there coldly watching these people plotting against her in a grand manner, and sneered secretly in her heart, until then she said: "Why is the father so eager to let his daughter get married? The daughter has only been in the house for more than ten days and started to choose Husband-in-law, aren't you afraid that others will think that parents have ulterior motives in taking their daughter back to the manor?"

It was all right for Xiang Lai to choke Lian Xiu behind her back, but at this time Lu Fusheng was present, and Lian Xiu was a little bit embarrassed by her saying such words, Lian Xiu's face immediately became gloomy, and said: "Laier, what are you talking about! Your sister and brother-in-law have good intentions to plan lifelong affairs for you, but you are so ignorant of the importance. Wouldn’t it make your sister and brother-in-law sad! Although your time back home is short, no one wants you to marry immediately, just see if there is any Only those who agree."

Xiang Lai said: "In this way, the daughter has to go? Well, as long as the father is not afraid that your daughter raised outside will embarrass the Lianfu, it doesn't matter for the daughter to just go through the motions."

Lian Xiu frowned angrily. Given his knowledge of Xianglai, he was really not sure whether Xianglai would make any outrageous behavior in public, so he had no choice but to say: "If there is anything you don't understand, ask you more." Eldest sister, she will take care of you, no matter what, I can't lose people from Lianfu."

Xianglai said: "Okay then, when you go, the elder sister will call someone to let me know."

Lian Xiangyin said: "On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, even those people who went to various places to pay New Year's greetings to their elders should come back. The more people there are, the more likely they will be selected, and it is the Lantern Festival. If there is a favorite, Maybe we can go out together to see lanterns or something."

Xianglai raised her eyebrows quietly, thinking what kind of lanterns she was looking at, she just wanted to find a few more people to help you, but this girl really doesn't care, if you can't even deal with it, what will you do to deal with your father.

As she was thinking here, Lian Xiangjin and Lian Xiangyuan also felt that the trick was successful, and secretly looked at each other and smiled secretly.

After the sixth day of the lunar new year, the shops opened. Xianglai transferred some experienced managers from Huikang Mansion a few years ago, and Zhang Luo opened other shops here. At the beginning of the new year, she had to go out of the house to take care of them.

One day, I was discussing with the steward in the new shop. A family member from the Lianfu rushed to look for him. Seeing Xianglai, he said anxiously: "Miss San, the master wants you to go back to the house quickly, there are people looking for it in the house."

Xianglai is very strange, since Yu Zixi left, he has no acquaintances in the capital except Luo Jinxing, and Luo Jinxing would not go to Lianfu in such a pretentious way, right?
Thinking about her, she asked the servant: "Do you know who is looking for me?"

The servant said: "I don't know that person either. I only know that he came from nowhere in the morning and said he wanted to enter the mansion to see the third lady. The gatekeeper stopped him, and the man knelt outside the mansion gate and shouted Miss's name." He said that if he didn't see Miss, he would die in front of Lian's house. Seeing that the disturbance was unreasonable, the master called him to the mansion, and then asked the villain to come out to find Miss."

After hearing this, Xianglai was even more surprised. She really couldn't understand who would be so crazy, so she sent the family member back first, and asked him to tell Lianxiu that he would be back soon. After saying hello to the steward, he took Huiling and Xu Che went out, got into the carriage and walked back.

Sitting in the car, Huiling was still joking, and said, "I forgot to ask the man's age, maybe some young master saw the young lady's beauty, and went crying and begging for marriage!"

Xianglai gave her an annoyed look, and said: "You damn girl, you actually made fun of me, seeing that you might be thinking about spring, you just use me to get addicted!"

Xu Che sniggered at the side, Huiling didn't take it seriously and said, "Which one is thinking about spring, but just telling the truth. If you didn't like you so much that you were going crazy, who would do such a thing?"

Xiang Lai said: "No matter what, it will never be what you said. You will know what happened when you return home, so don't make wild guesses here."

When she returned to the gate of the mansion, the servant who went to look for her was already waiting outside the gate of the mansion. When she saw her carriage approaching, she immediately stepped forward and said, "Miss San, the master told me to take you to see that person."

Xianglai got off the car and said, "Lead the way."

The servant led Xianglai into the mansion and walked towards the west side room. When he came to the door, the servant stopped and said: "Miss San, the person who wants to see you is waiting inside, and the villain will not go in."

Xianglai has Xu Che's personal protection, so Ding Jin doesn't care if he doesn't, so he nodded and said, "Okay, you can go."

While speaking, Huiling opened the door, and Xianglai stepped into the living room in the side room.

But when she saw Xianglai who was waiting for her in the hall, she was stunned. It turned out that this person turned out to be her old enemy Xu Zongde.

When Xu Zongde saw Xianglai coming back, he rushed over and shouted: "Miss Xianglai, you are back!"

Xu Che was standing next to Xianglai, how could Xu Zongde rush to Xianglai and take two steps forward to stop him.

Xianglai recognized that he knew it well, walked slowly to the case and sat down, said with a cold face: "Isn't this a senior official from Huikang Mansion, why is he so free to come to the capital?"

Xu Zongde knelt down in front of Xianglai with a plop, and said with a mournful old face: "Miss Xianglai, I used to be a villain who didn't know Taishan, and I offended you, this time I came to apologize to Miss, please hold your hand high. Let the villain go!"

While he was talking, Xianglai kept looking at him, seeing that Xu Zongde had lost a lot of weight after not seeing him for a few months, and his previously shiny face was already haggard.

She sat there motionless, and said: "Why should a senior officer be so contemptible? If a village girl kneels down to me, wouldn't it be a joke to spread the word!"

Xu Zongde hurriedly said: "Where is it? In the past, it was a villain who had no eyes and no pearls. He didn't recognize the lady as a piece of gold inlaid with jade. He dared to offend the lady. Miss, don't take it to heart!"

Xiang Lai sneered and said, "Don't take it to heart? If someone hadn't helped me, I would have died at the hands of your assassins. If I hadn't risked my life, my adoptive father's life would have been ruined by yours for nothing. Hand, now you tell me not to take it to heart, do you think it is possible?!"

Xu Zongde cried: "Miss Xianglai, the villain knows his mistake, and the villain regrets it! This time, I sincerely confessed my mistake to the lady. You have made the villain to this point. You should get angry. Forgive me." Let the villain go! After all, the man who died that day was only the adoptive father of the young lady. The villain has contributed a little to the young lady's return to Lian's family. I beg you to let the villain go for the sake of this small contribution. I don't ask too much, as long as Shen Tianlai doesn't take over my mansion!"

Hearing what he said, Xianglai got even angrier, stood up and said, "You dare to say it, so what happened to my adoptive father? As the saying goes, the kindness of life is greater than the kindness of raising me. My adoptive father worked so hard to raise me, but in the end he died in your arms." In my hand, I didn't directly ask for your life, it's already cheap for you, and you still dare to ask me to leave you a house? Don't dream!"
