Rong Zheng ignored them and looked directly at Lu Yunshan. "I promise to cooperate with you for a month, but if they keep provoking me like this, I can't guarantee that I can continue this charade with you. Also, I've never mentioned the divorce, but they keep bringing it up. Don't blame me if word gets out."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the room.

Lu Yunshan watched Rong Zheng's retreating figure thoughtfully.

She used to be docile and sensible, but after she filed for divorce, she seemed to have completely changed.

This means she's truly given up and doesn't care anymore.

It's good that she's so self-aware; a woman of such lowly status is not worthy of entering the Lu family.

"grandfather……"

Lu Xingyao was about to say something coquettish when Lu Yunshan coldly interrupted her, "Can't you just shut up? This is the Song family home. If you keep talking nonsense, get back to Jiangcheng right now!"

After saying that, he gave Bai Yuxiu a warning look, then looked at Lu Peichuan and said, "Let's go, come with me to the main building to pay our respects to Old Madam Song."

Lu Peichuan nodded and helped Lu Yunshan downstairs.

Rong Zheng returned to her room and looked around. Although there was only one bed, there was a sofa by the window, so she could sleep on the sofa at night.

When she was packing her luggage, she looked in the closet but didn't find any extra blankets.

The manor is surrounded by mountains, and it will definitely get cooler at night. It's early summer now, and if you don't cover yourself with anything at night, you'll definitely catch a cold.

Just then, the landline in the room rang.

Rong Zheng went to answer the phone. "Hello, the old lady has arranged for lunch to be served in the main building. A car will be waiting for you at the entrance of the small building in ten minutes. Please be prepared."

"Okay, could you please bring me a blanket when your car arrives?"

"no problem."

"Thanks."

After Rong Zheng hung up the phone, she went to the restroom to tidy herself up briefly before going downstairs. A little while later, Lu Xingyao and Bai Yuxiu also came down, clearly having received calls from the housekeeper as well.

Lu Xingyao rolled her eyes at Rong Zheng, snorted coldly, and sat down far away from her.

As long as she doesn't provoke her, Rong Zheng will pretend she didn't see these little tricks.

Not long after, a man wearing a dark blue short-sleeved butler's uniform came in carrying a blanket.

Rong Zheng went over immediately. "The blanket is what I wanted, thank you."

"You're welcome. The car is outside. May you set off now?" the butler asked politely.

Rong Zheng nodded, placed the blanket on the sofa, and went out with the male butler.

The car parked at the door was a sightseeing tram with five rows of leather seats. Bai Yuxiu and Lu Xingyao sat in the first row, while Rong Zheng sat in the third row, further away from them.

The male butler explained that the estate covers an area of ​​over 10,000 acres and has recreational facilities and entertainment spaces such as a racetrack, golf course, heated swimming pool, private dock, private airport, shooting range, and gym.

If they need anything, they can contact them by phone and they will arrange transportation to their destination.

As Rong Zheng listened to the butler's introduction, she couldn't help but marvel. As expected of a top-tier wealthy family in Beijing, their manor was built to be so magnificent. Compared to this, the Lu family's mansion was simply insignificant.

Passing by a lush bamboo grove, Lu Xingyao excitedly asked, "Is this Bamboo Garden Pavilion?"

The butler nodded as he drove, "Yes, this is the young master's residence. No one is allowed to enter without his permission."

Lu Xingyao's eyes seemed to be glued to that bamboo forest. Even after the car had driven past, she kept looking back, as if she could peek through the bamboo grove to see what was inside.

The car soon stopped in front of the main building.

The male butler said respectfully, "Please, the old lady is waiting for you inside."

Rong Zheng, Bai Yuxiu, and Lu Xingyao followed the male butler into the main building. After walking for about two minutes, they arrived at the entrance to the living room. The male butler stopped and said, "Please come in."

Rong Zheng nodded her thanks.

The male butler turned and left.

Bai Yuxiu pulled Lu Xingyao along and led the way into the living room.

Rong Zheng then entered and came to the living room, where she saw Lu Yunshan talking to an old lady. He had a flattering smile on his face and a respectful expression. It was obvious that the old lady he was talking to was Madam Song.

The old lady looked very energetic, with her silver hair neatly tied up, a faint smile on her lips, and a kind and gentle expression.

Rong Zheng had been married into the Lu family for a year, and this was her first time visiting the Song family and meeting Old Madam Song for the first time. After Bai Yuxiu and Lu Xingyao greeted each other, she respectfully called out, "Old Madam."

Shen Qiuxian's scrutinizing gaze fell on Rong Zheng.

With delicate and refined features and a tall and slender figure, she is said to be from an ordinary family, yet she possesses a serene and outstanding temperament, with clear and bright eyes. Here, she is quiet, composed, and neither arrogant nor humble; she is a good child.

Even though it was the first time we met, I felt a strange sense of familiarity with him.

She smiled and asked Rong Zheng, "You must be Pei Chuan's wife, Rong Zheng?"

Rong Zheng nodded, "Mm."

Lu Peichuan looked at Rong Zheng, his thin lips curving slightly. She was still his wife, now and always would be.

Shen Qiuxian beckoned to Rong Zheng, "Come sit next to me."

Rong Zheng sensed Lu Xingyao's jealous gaze, clearly feeling that she shouldn't have received this honor on her first meeting with Old Madam Song.

She walked over and sat down next to Madam Song.

Shen Qiuxian asked gently, "I heard you recently gave birth?"

Rong Zheng felt an irresistible sense of closeness emanating from the old lady, and her expression softened unconsciously. "Mm."

"Was it a daughter or a son?"

"daughter."

"My daughter is wonderful. She is my warm little cotton-padded jacket. You and Pei Chuan are both very good-looking. I wonder how charming she will be when she grows up."

Rong Zheng could tell that the old lady wasn't just saying that for show, but genuinely felt that way. Thinking of her daughter's rosy little face, she couldn't help but smile.

Before she could say anything, Bai Yuxiu interjected, "Tangtang is indeed beautiful. Shi Yan likes her just by looking at her. It was Shi Yan who named her."

Shen Qiuxian looked surprised. Her taciturn and reserved grandson would like children?

And you're even naming the child?

She couldn't believe it, and couldn't help but ask Rong Zheng for confirmation, "Did Shi Yan really name your daughter?"

Rong Zheng nodded, "Mm."

Bai Yuxiu: "..." What does that mean? You don't trust her?

Shen Qiuxian excitedly grasped Rong Zheng's hand, "Tell me quickly, what's your name?"

The old lady's hands were dry and warm, the wrinkles on them radiating a comforting warmth. Rong Zheng felt a sense of warmth as she held those hands. "Wantang."

"Wantang." Shen Qiuxian pondered the name softly, then nodded in agreement, "Not bad, it's a good name. I didn't expect that kid would actually be willing to name the child."

As she spoke, a thought crossed her mind, and the smile faded. She sighed, "Sigh... Since you like children, why don't you settle down and have one yourself sooner? You're already thirty and still single. It's really worrying me to death."

Rong Zheng smiled politely but didn't say anything; it was really difficult to respond to that topic.

Shen Qiuxian tightened her grip on Rong Zheng's hand. "Rong girl, do you know any unmarried girls around your age and with similar temperaments? Introduce one to your older brother."
