205 Chapter 2 It's Difficult to Decline ([-])
Although Lu Mingfu still has a half-knowledge of what happened on Empress Xu's Qianqiu Festival, she is not a fool. She had a good home, and she also wanted her sister to have a good home, so she suddenly changed her attitude and became happy with the relationship between Lu Mingxuan and Ling Mengqi.

It's a pity that Lu Mingxuan has too many things in her mind, and too many worries, Ling Mengqi's complicated family, his relationship with Concubine Luo, her life experience that cannot be seen... And these worries can't be told to Lu Mingfu, She could only pretend to be relaxed and said: "Isn't there still an old lady? If the old lady can't protect me anymore, Brother Ling Shi, a small brocade guard, can be more capable than the old lady? What's more, me and There is really nothing between him, not in the past, not now, and never in the future! Sister, don’t think about it too much, today is a good day for my sister, it’s nothing to spoil my good mood, yes Now, where did An Geer go, why didn't I hear his voice?"

Seeing that she deliberately changed the subject, Lu Mingfu couldn't say any more, and said with a smile: "I just played with me for a while, and I fell asleep from exhaustion. I asked his nanny to carry him back to his wife's room. I also took the opportunity Turned around and exercised a bit, that's why I saw you... Forget it, no matter how good Brother Ling Shi is, if you don't want to, it's useless. I won't say this anymore, and you will try your best in the future Don't see him alone, so as not to cause any misunderstandings, it's always bad."

"Well, I remember." Lu Mingxuan agreed, but just thinking about the fact that she would no longer be able to see Ling Mengqi alone in the future, her heart ached like needles, but her reason knew that Lu Mingfu was For her own good, she just said the phrase "not in the past, not in the present, and never in the future" not only for Lu Mingfu, but also for herself. She must do it, and she also believes She can do it!

Lu Mingfu saw that although her face was calm, there was a flash of sadness in her eyes, she sighed in her heart, and was about to say something, when she heard Xiao Tao's voice from outside: "The eldest girl is in the house. Li, the lady is here."

She could only stop temporarily, and replied: "Yes, my sister is here too." Pulling Lu Mingxuan together, she took it out.

The Qi family sent the dowry list from the Yan family with Lu Mingfu, "These are things that the in-laws gave to the eldest daughter, I mean let the eldest daughter keep them, so I have already returned to the master. Master also meant the same thing."

As Qi's stepmother, it is indeed inconvenient to manage the betrothal gifts given by her husband's family to Lu Mingfu. You must know that a large part of these things will be used as dowry in the future, and then carried back to Yan's house, no matter what is missing or damaged Well, both Yu Qi's and Lu Mingfu's faces are not good-looking, so it is understandable that Qi's reluctance to touch her hands is justifiable.

Although Lu Mingfu got along well with Mrs. Qi, it was absolutely impossible to say that she really regarded Mrs. Qi as her biological mother in her heart, so after listening to Mrs. Qi's words, she did not hold back, she blushed generously and accepted it easily. After passing the betrothal gift list, Ling Luoxia put it away, and said to Qi with a smile: "Thank you Madam for worrying about me these days, I will definitely toast Madam a glass of wine tonight."

Qi said with a smile: "It's what I should do. I shouldn't say that, and the second girl also helped me a lot. If the eldest girl really wants to toast, I have to toast the second girl." .”

Lu Mingfu laughed and said, "Who wants to toast her wine? Could it be that when it's her turn in the future, my sister won't help her with the order?"

Everyone in the room laughed so much that even Lu Mingxuan had a smile in his eyes, but it wasn't because of Lu Mingfu's words, but because of her intentionally playing tricks to make her happy--yes, What is there for her to be sad about Huaiqiu? She has such a good sister and such a good father in her life. What is there for her to be dissatisfied with?There are nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in life. If you can’t ask for others, you can’t ask for them, because only when you are satisfied can you be happy!
After laughing, seeing that it was getting late, Qi Shiyin ordered Xiao Tao to pass the meal in the kitchen: "Pick up a few light and refreshing side dishes and bring them here. Tonight, the two girls and I will have dinner in the eldest girl's room." After Xiaotao took the order and left, she said to Lu Mingfu and Lu Mingxuan: "Before I came, the master had already had a drink with that Mr. Ling. I don't know how happy I am. Let us not bother him. That Mr. Ling is also rare, if he was born like a fairy, he has such a good temper, and he comes from a famous family, so I don't know which family will be lucky in the future to get such a good son-in-law!"

Rao is as calm as the Qi family, and has long been married, so he can't help being dazzled by Ling Mengqi's face.

Lu Mingxuan's hand holding the handkerchief tightened for a moment. No one else noticed, even she herself didn't realize it. However, Lu Mingfu had a sharp-eyed idea, and because of anger, she said: "Madam, you said this in front of me. That’s all for talking about, my sister is still here, and I’ll be punished with three glasses of wine later!”

It was only then that Qi realized that she had made a slip of the tongue. Although Lu Mingfu had made an appointment, Lu Mingxuan hadn't made an appointment with you yet, and she was still young, so she hurriedly smiled and said, "It's all my fault. I said the wrong thing. The second girl doesn't want it." It’s good to have a general knowledge of me.”

It happened that the mother-in-law in the kitchen brought food, and the mother and daughter sat down to eat.

After eating for a while, Qi's mind was worried about An Ge'er, and went back to the main room first after chatting with the two sisters. According to the old habit, the two sisters also went to the main room to see An Ge'er. Today Because of Ling Mengqi's presence, it was inconvenient to pass, so Lu Mingfu ordered someone to fetch the chessboard, and invited Lu Mingxuan to play Go. Lu Mingxuan knew her kindness, and played with her until the second watch before returning to her own. After taking a shower in the room, I was just in a daze all night, like a dream but not a dream.

After waking up in the morning to wash and dress up, Lu Mingfu came over and called Lu Mingxuan to go to the principal room together to ask Mrs. An to visit Brother An by the way. She didn't think that Lu Zhongxian hadn't gone to the Duke's mansion yet, and he was wrinkling his face full of pain. Qi rubbed his temples for him, apparently he drank too much last night, and now he is experiencing the pain of hangover.

After bowing his knees to meet Lu Zhongxian and Qi Shi, Lu Mingfu couldn't help but angrily said: "Father didn't say to drink less yesterday, but now he has tasted the taste of drinking too much?"

Lu Zhongxian said in a hoarse voice: "I was happy yesterday. You have a good home now. I saw your son-in-law with my own eyes. He is also a good man. The family also attaches great importance to you. I don't worry that you will not have a good life in the future." , I won’t be ashamed to see your mother if I go underground tomorrow.”

Lu Mingfu blushed, and said: "Why are you saying these things so early in the morning, and you don't say taboo?" Then she asked Qi, "Has Daddy already had hangover soup?"

Qi said with a smile: "Last night, before Mr. Ling left, he had someone make two bowls of strong hangover soup. The master and Mr. Ling both drank a bowl, and just after the master got up, he drank another bowl. Otherwise, maybe this will make my head hurt even more."
