Hope for luck

Chapter 531
(This chapter is Chapter 530)
Through the capital.

After the Grass of Grass had passed, there was also a tinge of heat in the capital. In the east courtyard of Gaofu, Gao Lanshu was walking slowly in the courtyard with the support of Shen Jinhua, who had a big belly.

Seeing that Shen Jinhua's white and flawless hair was covered with dense sweat, she turned her head to look at Gao Lanshu beside her from time to time, and couldn't help but ask:
"Third sister, tell me the truth, did you intentionally contact Lu Wang? Otherwise, why would he give you a gift?"

After Gao Lanshu heard this, her pretty face flushed. Looking at Shen Jinhua with a sincere face, Gao Lanshu's eyes flickered slightly, and she wanted to avoid her scrutiny.

But after touching Shen Jinhua's swollen belly from the corner of her eye, she lowered her head and whispered back:
"I didn't expect you, sister-in-law, to see through it so quickly...Since that's the case, my little sister has nothing to hide. Sister-in-law, you guessed it right, I just went to get close to King Lu on purpose..."

As she said that, Gao Lanshu told Shen Jinhua about her 'plan', which made Shen Jinhua dumbfounded and didn't know how to evaluate this matter.

Previously, Gao Pan tried his best to 'send' Gao Lanshu to Lu Wang, but after persuasion, Gao Pan has given up this idea.

Shen Jinhua originally thought that the matter would stop there, but she didn't expect that a few days ago, King Lu sent someone to give Gao Lanshu a gift from her daughter's family.

The entire Gao Mansion was stirred up for a while, and the elder Gao Qiyuan even personally asked about this matter, asking what happened to Gao Lanshu?

Naturally, Gao Lanshu wouldn't tell the truth, she just said that she met Lu Wang by chance, but she didn't expect Lu Wang to give her a gift?
At this time, a man can't be rash to give a gift to an unmarried woman, let alone a daughter's household item.

After thinking about it for a while, everyone understands, is this because King Lu is interested in Gao Lanshu?

Now even Mrs. Ren, the head of the house, has changed her attitude towards Gao Lanshu. She is always asking for her health and wellbeing every day, and she almost treats Gao Lanshu as her own daughter.

Others may not be aware of the strangeness, but Shen Jinhua is ice-snow and smart, and knowing that Gao Pan intended to match Gao Lanshu and Lu Wang before, she became suspicious, and that's why she asked just now.

But after listening to Gao Lanshu's words at this moment, Shen Jinhua's heart can be said to be very restless. After a long time, she asked each other dullly:

"Third sister... have you forgotten what I said to you before? Then Lu Wang... is not someone worth entrusting for life! You... why are you confused?"

After Gao Lanshu heard this, she helped Shen Jinhua slowly to a gazebo and sat down. Then she looked at Shen Jinhua and said firmly:
"Sister-in-law, thank you for your concern, but my fifth brother saved my life. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be where I am today..."

"Earlier, Fifth Brother wanted me to marry into Prince Lu's Mansion, but sister-in-law, you scolded him for his selfishness, but in my heart, I never complained to Fifth Brother. I believe that Fifth Brother would never harm me!"

Hearing this, Shen Jinhua couldn't help frowning and said:
"Silly sister, your fifth elder brother made a mistake in this matter, and later he himself realized his mistake, so this matter has stopped!"

"Then King Lu has a concubine, not to mention a concubine, you... If you really marry him, how will you deal with yourself?"

Gao Lanshu saw that Shen Jinhua seemed to be a little excited when she said it, and hurriedly put her hand beside her, gently comforting her, and said with self-reproach:

"Sister-in-law, don't get excited. You are the most honorable person in our Gao family now. You can't make any mistakes. It's all because of me that you are so excited, sister-in-law..."

Shen Jinhua grabbed her hand and shook her head slowly:

"Third sister, I'm not excited. I just want to persuade you to change your mind. The palace is not the place you should go. Now that your fifth elder brother is prosperous in the official career, why do you need to help him? Listen to my sister-in-law and find a good place." My lord is a good family, it would be good to be the young mistress of the house!"

After hearing this, Gao Lanshu gently shook Shen Jinhua's jade hand, and replied cautiously:

"Sister-in-law, there's no need to persuade her. Even if you marry someone else and become the main house's young mistress, has sister-in-law forgotten about sister-in-law? Is she doing well?"

Shen Jinhua was stunned by these words, the sister-in-law Gao Lanshu was talking about was Gao Guangcheng's first wife Lu Sixuan.

She is the eldest wife of the Gao family, and now she is in charge of the Gao family's internal affairs, so she should be living a good life, right?

But Shen Jinhua and Gao Lanshu naturally knew how bad Lu Sixuan was.

Gao Guangcheng has devoted himself to military merits and has been working on Jiubian. The time spent between husband and wife is comparable to that of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl on the Qixi Festival.

In addition to this, Lu Sixuan's mother-in-law, Mrs. Ren, is also a difficult mother-in-law who cares about every detail and makes things difficult everywhere.

Although Lu Sixuan is in charge of the family, she has to be constrained by Mrs. Ren everywhere, this family is not easy to manage.

Therefore, Gao Lanshu used Lu Sixuan as an example, and Shen Jinhua had nothing to say.

"Sister-in-law, do you still think it's good to be a decent young mistress? If you don't marry well, like the second sister, you are beaten by your husband's family, who can you go to complain about?"

Seeing that Shen Jinhua stopped talking, Gao Lanshu continued to talk, and inadvertently said the news that had just been received from the south.

The fact that Gao Ruoning was abused by Lou Hui at the Lou's house in Linjiang City has already been known by the Gao family.

This matter made everyone in the Gao family very angry. The Lou family dared to ignore the Gao family while Mrs. Gao was still alive. It was simply looking for death.

However, fortunately, the ending of the Lou family and Lou Hui made everyone in the Gao family applaud.

As soon as Gao Pan made a move, not only did the Lou family follow suit, but the entire Jiangnan officialdom began to 'collapse'!
Because Lou Hui was suspected of abducting and selling a good woman and forcing her into prostitution, he was sentenced to be hanged and imprisoned, and executed on the spot.

However, because the Lou family is involved in a deeper case, there is no result of the punishment yet, but from Gao Pan's reply, everyone in the Gao family also understands that it is only a matter of time before the Lou family is ransacked and beheaded.

At this moment, when Gao Lanshu talked about this matter, Shen Jinhua became tender-hearted in an instant. She missed Gao Pan very much in her heart, and wished she could see Gao Pan now.

Gao Lanshu also felt the change in Shen Jinhua's mood, so she smiled and comforted her:
"Sister-in-law, didn't Fifth Brother say that when the little nephew is born, he will definitely come back, I think it will come soon..."

Shen Jinhua woke up after hearing this, then looked at Gao Lanshu and said softly:
"Good sister, don't rush to persuade me, have you really thought through your own affairs?"

After Gao Lanshu breathed out the blue breath lightly, Yurong replied with some firmness:
"Sister-in-law, don't try to persuade me. The situation of the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister has already shown that even a decent young mistress may not be easy..."

"Since that's the case, marrying King Lu must at least have a noble status. Besides, there is my fifth elder brother standing firmly in the court. From now on, he and I can also echo each other from afar. We will definitely live no worse than ordinary young mistresses!"

Seeing that Gao Lanshu seemed to have thought it through, Shen Jinhua stopped persuading her and just sighed softly in her heart, this is really fate!
