If You Can’t Be a Son-in-law, You Have To Be Sanctified

   Chapter 98 The old lady's request, Lu Jing refused

   The cold air brought by yesterday's rain has not completely dissipated.

   Even if the sun is still hanging in the sky, it still can't hide the chill.

   And with the cold air, there is a lot of fresh air.

  Lu Jing was walking in the Lu Mansion, under the Daxueshan Zhenxuan breathing method, he only felt that the breath in his chest was much more relaxed.

  The clear stream flows over the top of Bishan, and the empty water is fresh and full of autumn.

  After the autumn rain, the scenery of many gardens in Lufu became much more beautiful.

  Especially before Chunzezhai, many precious autumn green plants were more emerald green, and a clear stream with a small rockery bridge looked even more beautiful.

   But Lu Jing was not interested in viewing the scenery.

   When he entered Chunze Zhai, he found that his desk case was still lined up in front of the door, and the note on the desk case did not read "third master of the Lu House" this time.

   is just the four characters of "Dafu Lujing".

  Lu Jing naturally didn't care about this.

   When he took his seat, picked up the cup on the table, and took a sip of the tea, the eyes of many people were already on him.

   At this time, many young masters and young ladies have already come, and the old lady Ning is the host, but they dare not come late, lest they will be taught by their elders.

  Lu Qiong, Lu Yi... Even Lin Rendong, who was not a child of the Lu family, sat next to Ning Qiang, looking at Lu Ding's head from a distance.

   Came here today to meet the elders, Lin Rendong's long silver hair was **** in a bun, neatly groomed, and the girlishness was lessened, so it also had a little more charm.

  Lu Jing also nodded towards them from a distance, his face as calm as ever.

   In addition to these many people, Lu Jing sensed a deadly look, looking at him from a distance.

  Lu Jing's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't even look at the source of his gaze.

   When he entered the door, he had already seen the owner of this gaze.

   There are many people in the Lu residence who hate him and dislike him, but most of these people don't want to pay attention to him, they just think he doesn't exist.

   Only Mrs. Zhou, Lu Jiang's biological mother, hated him so much.

   Lu Jiang's biological mother was sitting on the seat not far below the main seat opposite. At this moment, her eyes were completely on Lu Jing.

   This lady of Lu Fu, who usually attaches great importance to dressing up and decoration, did not put on her face at this time, and there were still many bloodshots clearly in her eyes.

   There was no trace of blood on his pale face, which looked quite scary.

   She was like a ghost, staring at Lu Jing from a distance.

   Many of the young masters and young ladies present also noticed Mrs. Zhou's strangeness, and some were timid and didn't even dare to look at Mrs. Zhou.

  Looking at him with such resentment, Lu Jing didn't change his face, he still tasted the fruit on the table, and sipped a sip of tea from time to time, as if he didn't care.

   For Mrs. Zhou, Lu Jing's actions made her resentment almost overflow.

   When she remembered that her son was still lying on the bed at the moment, she could only stare at the beams with her eyes open, but she couldn't speak, and she couldn't lift a finger, her mind became even more annoyed.

  Lu Jiang is her heaven and her support in the future.

  Lu Chongshan has no attachment to the Lu Mansion, the only one he loves is Lu Yi.

   In this wealthy compound, if she has no children, how will she wait for a concubine, how will she survive when she is old?

   Lu Jing's crippling of Lu Jiang was actually breaking Madam Zhou's thoughts completely, so how could she not resent Lu Jing?

   In fact, it is not just Lu Jing that Madam Zhou resents.

   also resented the old lady Ning and Mrs. Zhong who suppressed this because of many reasons such as Princess Chong'an and the Nanguo Gongfu.

   Lu Jing committed murder in the Lu Mansion, but he never got the punishment he deserved. Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Zhong never showed the slightest sympathy for Lu Jiang, the blood of the second mansion.

What    sees in their eyes is only their own interests.

   They didn't dare to lose face in front of Princess Chong'an, and they didn't dare to punish Lu Jing, because Lu Jing was the key to the last transaction.

   It's just the Continental Mansion, Mrs. Zhou did not dare to take revenge on Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Zhong, and only a son-in-law like Lu Jing could think about it.

  Because of this, Mrs. Zhou has endured these many days...until today!

  So many thoughts were swarming around in Madam Zhou's mind.

   Time passes by moment by moment.

   It was not until noon that the old lady Ning, Mrs. Zhong and Mrs. Zhu walked out of the fasting house.

  The old lady Ning looked a little sad, Madam Zhu cried once, her eyes were red, only Madam Zhong of Dafu was still so graceful and dignified.

   Three people are seated.

  The old lady Ning sighed and waved her hand: "Let's have a feast now! The two principals of this banquet have already left the residence, what's the point of seeing off the banquet?"

   Hearing the words of Mrs. Ning, many young masters and young ladies in Chunze Zhai had a strange look in their eyes.

   Only then did they know that Lu Zhongshan and Lu Feng had left the mansion without knowing when, the expressions in their eyes were curious and puzzled, but they were not reluctant or worried.

   Lu Yi was the only one who lowered his head and carefully looked at the jade pattern on the table, wondering what he was thinking.

   The two main lords left, and many meals for the banquet had already been prepared, so the banquet was still held.

  The old lady Ning seemed to be reluctant to leave Lu Chongshan, and sighed repeatedly, probably because she felt that she was already old, but it was a sad thing that she never had a son to serve by her side.

  Lu Qiong sat next to her and served the old lady Ning obediently.

   Old Lady Ning saw that Lu Qiong was so sympathetic to her, and the sorrow in her eyes disappeared a lot.

   Mrs. Zhu blushed with tears.

  Lu Jing guessed that she was not crying for Lu Chongshan.

  Lu Chongshan has been away from the Lu Mansion for a long time. He recently came back but stayed in the bamboo house on the foggy forest **** all day long. Even Mrs. Zhu had never seen him a few times.

   But Lu Feng is Madam Zhu's blood and blood. She has been growing beside Madam Zhu since she was a child. Now that Lu Feng is gone, how can she not be worried? How can you be willing?

   On the contrary, Madam Zhong just lowered her head and sipped the feast.

  Lu Jing couldn't help but smile when he saw such a situation.

   This little Chun Zezhai!

   There are so many hundred kinds of hearts!

Most of the young masters and young ladies of the second mansion in the mansion only care about eating, drinking and having fun, and they are already indifferent to family affection. The departure of Lu Chongshan and Lu Feng will not affect their emotions at all. Maybe they are more comfortable without Lu Feng, the direct son of the second mansion, in the mansion. .

   Mrs. Zhu was reluctant and worried.

   Mrs. Zhou was bent on revenge against Lu Jing, and she did not hide her resentment.

  The old lady Ning was disheartened because Lu Chongshan left.

Although Mrs. Zhong was extremely restrained, Lu Jing could see from her eyes... She was extremely happy at the moment.

   On the day Lu Chongshan returned to the mansion, Mrs. Zhong wanted to borrow Lu Jing and Lu Jiang to raise her prestige. On weekdays, she even had to be wary of Lu Jing, a concubine and son-in-law, and did not want to see Lu Jing better than Lu Qiong.

   As for Lu Feng, the second son of the second mansion, who has a decent talent in martial arts and a calm personality, Madam Zhong didn't know how much she was prepared for.

   Now that Lu Chongshan and Lu Feng are all gone, Madam Zhong is only afraid that she will lose a mountain in her heart!

   How could she be unhappy?

   At this time, Lu Jing's mood was calm, and while drinking tea, he observed the reactions of many people in Chunze Zhai, and only felt that this Lu Mansion seemed to be terminally ill.

   "No wonder Lu Feng wanted to take risks, and even pulled down his face and begged me to take care of the Lu Mansion if I had a good day..."

  Lu Jing thought to himself.

   Madam Zhong's eyes fell on Lu Jing.

   Then, her voice came: "Lu Jing."

   Madam Zhong spoke calmly and called out Lu Jing's name.

  Ning Qiang, Lin Rendong, Lu Qiong, Lu Yi, and the eyes of many young masters and young ladies immediately fell on Lu Jing with the voice.

   Mrs. Zhou had this pleasure brewing in her eyes.

   Only Mrs. Zhu, who knew many things, was still immersed in the reluctance of Lu Feng to leave, and seemed unwilling to pay attention to the trivial matters in Chunze Zhai.

   The elders of the Lu residence simply don't want to pay attention to Lu Jing on weekdays!

   At this moment, Madam Zhong called Lu Jing during the banquet, I was afraid that there was nothing good for Lu Jing.

  Looking at Lu Jing, Madam Zhong was holding up a cup when she spoke, and wanted to drink tea.

Mrs. Zhong called him, and many eyes fell on him. Lu Jing's hand holding the tea cup was still extremely steady, never shaking at all, and even the movement of his hand did not stop. He took a sip of tea and carefully placed the tea cup on the table. On the case, this slowly got up.

   He came to the hall and saluted Mrs. Zhong with meticulous movements without any panic.

   Mrs. Zhong looked at Lu Jing and felt that Lu Jing's bearing was getting better and better, and it would never have been possible for him to develop that composure if he were another son-in-law.

   Seeing Lu Jing like this, Madam Zhong felt agitated for no reason.

She frowned and asked, "I heard that you didn't return the night before, and you still smelled of alcohol when you returned yesterday morning. How long did it take you to go to the bookstore? When the nobles know about it, they will only say that my Lu residence has no rules."

  Ning Qiang and Lin Rendong looked at each other, a little surprised.

   Especially the old lady Ning, maybe she was upset because of Lu Chongshan, she snorted when she heard Madam Zhong's question!

  The old lady Ning gained a lot of power in the Lu Mansion.

   With her cold snort, the sound of moving chopsticks in Chunze Zhai disappeared immediately, and there was silence.

   Mrs. Zhou was also a little surprised. She didn't know that Lu Jing was so unruly and dared to drink all night!

   Now that Mrs. Ning has been angered, I am afraid that some minor punishment will be inevitable!

  Ning Qiang was also a little worried.

  Lu Qiong felt strange, her eyes lit up, and said, "Brother Jing, where did you drink the night before? Why don't you take me with you, grandma, drinking and singing is an elegant thing..."

   Before Lu Qiong finished speaking, Madam Zhong glanced at him, and he was immediately frightened and lowered his head, not daring to say anything.

At this time, the old lady Ning patted Lu Qiong's hand, but looked at Lu Jing with a cold face: "You don't know your identity? If you don't return after drinking late at night, if the Nanguo Gongfu finds out, you will blame us for not having rules. !"

   There was a chill in her cloudy eyes.

   Many grandfathers and young ladies at the scene saw Old Lady Ning's stern tone and piercing eyes, and they dared not meet Old Lady Ning's gaze, but felt that Lu Jing was about to be beaten.

   But when they peeked at Lu Jing.

   However, seeing Lu Jing's expression still light and cloudy, without the slightest fear in his eyebrows, he slowly opened his mouth and said: "Old lady, mother, there is a reason for this, there is an adult to invite..."

"My lord? What lord?" Madam Zhong frowned when she heard Lu Jing say this: "You are only seventeen years old, how can you stay up all night and drink late at night? Which lord can invite you? Are you drinking late at night?"

Mrs. Zhong asked a series of questions, and the old lady Ning on the side also said slowly: "Even if someone asks you to refuse, how can the adults who hang out with you get so expensive? My Jiuhu Lu family is also for many years. The noble mansion…”

   "I was invited by the military minister of the current dynasty."

  Lu Jing interrupted the old lady Ning's words, and her voice became calmer: "The old lady forgives the crime of interrupting the grandson. There are always many words in the banquet that have to be spread out, but it's a no-brainer to provoke the adult."

   The words came out.

  The expressions of many people at the banquet changed suddenly.

   Even Madam Zhong's expression froze slightly!

   In the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Central Dynasty?

  When did Lu Jing meet such a court official?

  The old lady Ning was about to get angry when she was interrupted by Lu Jing, but she also heard Lu Jing's words.

   She frowned for a moment and thought for a moment, before she said angrily, "The position of the Secretary of the Ministry of War has been vacant for more than a month. Which one are you talking about?"

"Besides, although the Minister of War is a real court official, my Lu residence is the Earl of Shenxiao, and your father is a general! A fifth-rank official is also worthy of you to interrupt me? I fell into my Lu residence in vain. title!"

   She said this, and even her expression flew a little!

  Although the Lu family is weak, there is still the real military position of General Shenxiao in the court.

  There is also the lintel of Uncle God Xiao, and in this ten-mile Changning Street, it is even a first-class rich man!

With the background of Lu Mansion, Lu Jing called a fifth-rank military minister as an adult in front of the old lady, and even interrupted the old lady Ning because of this, which made everyone in the court doubt Lu Jing went to the bookstore, why haven't he seen a bit of the world?

"Old madam, this Minister of War was recommended by Sheng Cifu, who was personally appointed by the sage, and he also worshipped the captain of the light truck. Know your fate."

   Lu Jing's words come to this point.

   Old Lady Ning and Madam Zhong's expressions immediately changed.

   "Is there such a thing?"

  Ning's old lady's face disappeared, with some unnatural look in her eyes, she said with emotion: "Mr. Yu Bo can get an honorary official and a real job just after entering the office, and his future is limitless."

   Mrs. Zhong also hesitated: "Is it really that Mr. Zhong who invited you?"

  Lu Jing's expression did not change, he only said: "Mr. Yu Bo sent me to the study building and made good friends with me. Now that he has entered the official position, he invited me to drink three or two drinks. I can't refuse, so I can only go.

   Afterwards, Lu Jing drank a few glasses of wine, got a little drunk, and went shopping with a disciple of the bookstore, delaying the time. "

   "If this matter breaks the rules, I will bluntly decline when Mr. Yu Bo invites me next time..."

   "It's not necessary."

  The old lady Ning shook her head and said, "Now Shenyuan has never come back, and there are many things in the court that I don't even know about in the Lu House. Since Mr. Yu Bo is friendly with you, in the future, the Ministry of War will be able to know some rhetoric."

   "He invited you to drink, so you can go. Now you are still in the Lu Mansion, and I have become your master."

   At this point, her eyes flashed with a ray of light, and her tone softened: "Alternatively, you can find a day when Mr. Yu Bai invites Mr. Lu to the Lu residence, and I will be the host."

   Many of the young masters and young ladies in Chunze Zhai are a little envious of Lu Jing knowing such an adult.

   Now that the old lady is talking to him, the tone is a little softer than the previous harshness.

  If Lu Jing can really invite the famous An Huai Zhiming, maybe the old lady's impression of Lu Jing will be much better.

   He can also be much better in this Lu Mansion.

   Mrs. Zhong also seemed to have the same idea as Mrs. Ning. She couldn't help but glance at Lu Qiong, wondering what she was thinking.

  However, what surprised many people was that…

   Mrs. Ning just finished speaking.

  Lu Jing shook his head bluntly and said, "Old lady, this matter... I'm sorry that Lu Jing couldn't agree."
