   Chapter 146 Love Rivals (1)

   At noon that day, the Lu Mansion opened ten seats. The female relatives who came to add makeup sat in one place talking and laughing, which was quite lively.

  Meng Yunluo was embarrassed and embarrassed today, and she was no longer in the mood to speak, and only moved two chopsticks on the table.

   Jin Can'er and Meng Yunluo are best friends. However, after their engagement, it is inevitable that there will be some estrangement.

   Jin Can'er's secret crush on Li Hao, the third prince, may not be known to others, but Meng Yunluo is very clear. For Jin Can'er, Meng Yunluo stole her sweetheart, whether intentionally or not.

   For Meng Yunluo, it is not a pleasant thing for her fiancé to be loved by other girls.

   The old friends sat together, looked at each other, and looked away from each other.

   From start to finish, he didn't even say a word.

   Someone laughed and made fun of Jin Can'er: "I didn't expect that Sister Jin and Fourth Young Master Zhao had such a fate."

  Zhao Rui is a well-known dude. The errand of the bodyguard in front of the imperial guard was still requested by Puyang Hou shamelessly.

   When the ladies in Beijing gather, they have to privately "comment" teenagers of the same age. Zhao Rui is often used as a joke by the ladies. Jin Can'er once said, "Whoever marries Zhao Rui will be considered bad luck for eight lifetimes."

   Who would have thought that, after going around, Jin Can'er became Zhao Rui's fiancee?

  Because of this marriage, Jin Can'er made a lot of noise at home. However, Jin Shangshu, who loves the youngest daughter the most, fell in love with the Marquis of Puyang's family and decided to marry him.

  Jin Caner cried behind her back for an unknown number of times. He likes to be in the limelight on weekdays, and he has never shown his face in front of people during this period of time.

   At this time, Jin Can'er's pretty face froze when someone poked at the sore spot.

   Zhao Yu was not happy at first sight.

   What's wrong with her fourth brother? Jin Can'er is still reluctant to pick and choose, and the fourth brother still doesn't want to marry!

   It was the Marquis of Puyang who fell in love with Jin Shangshu... No, it was the Marquis of Puyang who fell in love with the family of Jin. By the time Zhao Rui knew, the Jin family had already nodded their heads and agreed to the marriage.

   "Yeah, I didn't expect that Sister Jin would be my fourth sister-in-law in the future." Zhao Yu smiled softly: "It can be seen that this is fate."

   Zhao Yu and Jin Can'er are notoriously tricky and difficult to deal with. Now she is going to be an aunt again. In the future, there will be fun to watch.

  Everyone's eyes darted to and fro on Zhao Yu and Jin Can'er's faces.

   No matter how stupid Jin Can'er is, she will not quarrel with her future sister-in-law in public and bow her head shyly. Disappointed the ladies who were waiting to watch the lively event.

  …

  After the luncheon was over, everyone dispersed one by one.

  Lu Mingfang, Lu Minghua, and Shen Lan's three sisters-in-law, busy seeing off guests and greeting each other. Lu Mingyu didn't have to show up today, but was the most leisurely one.

  Qiyun came over quietly and reported softly: "Miss, Miss Qiao came here to say goodbye to Miss."

   Saying goodbye is fake, but wanting to say something in private is real!

  Lu Mingyu's eyes flashed and nodded: "Please come in."

   After a while, Qiao Wan stepped into the room.

  Qiyun wisely backed out and closed the door.

  Lu Mingyu got up to greet her: "Sister Qiao came here on purpose, I don't know what to say to me?" Without going around in circles, she asked straightforwardly.

  Qiao Wan is elegant and reserved, reserved and reserved, obviously not used to such a straightforward way of speaking. After being stunned for a while, he said in a low voice, "Sister Lu, I have always wanted to talk to you in private. At this moment, I don't know where to start."

  Lu Mingyu said softly: "It's just the two of us here. Sister Qiao has something to say, but it's okay to say it."

  Under Lu Mingyu's bright eyes, Qiao Wan sighed softly, and there was a bit of bitterness in her smile: "There are some things that I can't hide from you. Over the years, I... I really have some thoughts that I shouldn't have."

   "My aunt is the queen. I often go to the palace to greet my aunt and meet with the second prince from time to time. My aunt has always been very kind to me, and the second prince is also kind and easy-going to my cousin."

   "I had extravagant hopes, thinking that I would marry His Royal Highness the Second Prince."

  Qiao Wan's right hand clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and her voice was slightly choked: "The day you arrived, the emperor's decree of marriage arrived at the Lu residence. For me, that day was like a thunderbolt from the blue."

   "I was sick for a while, and I don't know how many people are watching my jokes behind my back."

   "Later, the Fang family came to propose marriage, and the grandfather and grandmother agreed to the marriage. The wedding date is set for April. I can't hide from people all the time, so I gathered up the courage to come to Lu's house today."

"Sister Lu, I'm not such a shameless woman. I came to see you now to tell you that the second prince has always been a brother and sister to me and has never gone beyond it. Don't mind me. I won't think about him any more..."

  Lu Mingyu sighed softly, took out the handkerchief, and wiped the tears from the corners of Qiao Wan's eyes: "Sister Qiao, you don't need to say it. I understand what you mean."

   "You are in love, and you can't help yourself. You don't mean to fight with me. With your temperament, you won't do anything rude or rude."

   "You are here today to confide in your heart, lest I misunderstand."

   "I never blame you from beginning to end."

   Qiao Wan's body trembled slightly, her eyes quickly turned red, and tears were rolling in her eyes.

  Lu Mingyu reached out and took Qiao Wan into his arms. Qiao Wan's body trembled again, her head rested on Lu Mingyu's shoulder, and tears fell down her cheeks.

   seems to be full of love and sadness.

   In this world, the most painful thing is not getting what you want.

   For more than half a year, she really didn't know how she got through it. Can't eat, can't sleep well. Thinking of the second prince, a heart pierced like a needle, quietly crying.

   She never thought that the "rival in love" was actually the person in the world who understood her mind best. Word by word, it entered her heart.

  …

   Qiao Wan wept bitterly.

  Since Lu Mingyu and Li Jing got engaged, she has been silently crying in private. This was the first time she cried out in pain.

   Strange to say, after crying so much, the heavy pain in my heart quietly dissipated a little.

   "I'm sorry," Qiao Wan calmed down, returned rationally, took a few steps back, and her face flashed with shame and shame: "I lost my temper today, which made Fourth Sister Lu laugh."

  Lu Mingyu said, "There are some things that are better to say than to hold back in your heart. If you are depressed all day long, you will be sick even if you are not sick."

   "In ten days, I'm going to marry Li Jing. You are his cousin, call me cousin in the future. We must meet and get along."

   "Let's talk about it today, that's all. I'm not a chicken belly person, and I won't mention this in the future. You don't have to worry about it."
