At this time, Lu Yiran was speechless. His tall body leaned forward slightly, and a heavy feeling of oppression filled the air.

"Do you know that I am the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army? Although I don't always keep my word, I always keep my word. How could I break my promise to a little girl like you?"

Looking at the handsome face so close, Meng Wenyao resisted the urge to faint in his arms and said stubbornly: "Just because you are the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army, my father said that those who serve in the army must remember that soldiers never tire of deceit."

"Hahaha, Lao Meng taught you this? Is this how the word is used?"

Although he was laughed at, the speed slowed down the next day, and at noon, he made a rare detour to Changshan Mansion to rest.

The group of people entered Changshan Guards Mansion and were warmly received by Changshan Ji Guards. Meng Wenyao was taken to the backyard and received by Mrs. Ji personally.

"Captain Lu once fought a bloody battle in Youzhou. As a result, there was a spy in the army, and he was attacked from both sides. At the critical moment, it was our Lord Ji who led the army to support us, who solved the problem for Governor Lu. From then on, Governor Lu only had to pass by Changshan. , will come to our house to rest."

These words let Meng Wenyao know that Ji Shoubei and Governor Lu had a close relationship, so no wonder they came here specially to catch up with old friends.

"Master Ji really turned the tide and is truly a hero."

One word of praise made Mrs. Ji beam with joy, and she quickly said humbly: "No reward, no reward, our old man Ji is just a rough man, he is willing to endure hardship. By the way, what do you call the girl?"

"My daughter's surname is Meng. Her father is a powerful general in the capital. He also served in the army in Youzhou before."

"It turns out she is the daughter of General Meng. Your father and Lao Ji are also close friends in life and death. They are both members of the same family. My niece, you should have a good time when you come here and let your aunt fulfill her duty as a landlord."

After a few words, it was discovered that the two families had a good relationship. Mrs. Ji did not treat Meng Wenyao as an outsider and ordered the girl: "Miss, why haven't you come to see the guests yet?"

The girl looked at Meng Wenyao and then at Mrs. Ji, but hesitated to speak.

"We are all our own people, why are you hesitating?"

Now that Mrs. Ji had spoken, the girl said bravely, "Miss, she ran to the front yard to see Governor Lu."

The embarrassment on her face flashed across her face. As a member of a military general's family, Mrs. Ji quickly smiled cheerfully and pulled Meng Wenyao to explain: "Niece, I'm not afraid of your jokes. My daughter is obsessed with Governor Lu. Every time Governor Lu Come here, she is standing behind the screen and refuses to leave. I have tried to persuade and scold her about becoming a mother, but it is of no use at all."

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Ji was so caring. Meng Wenyao was surprised and said: "Since Miss Ji is so affectionate, why don't you and your Excellency help her?"

"You don't know?" Mrs. Ji asked in surprise.

She took Meng Wenyao to a deserted place and said embarrassedly: "Logically speaking, you are an unmarried girl, so I shouldn't tell you this, but I really don't know where to go to find out about this kind of thing, niece." Just forgive Auntie."

"Auntie, tell me, it's okay."

After carefully sending everyone around her away, Mrs. Ji hesitated and said: "We heard that Governor Lu has not gotten married for so many years because of health problems. You are going to marry Governor Lu's nephew. You are a family. You Do you know the inside story?"

Meng Wenyao shook her head. Although she heard a few words from General Meng, she was vague and didn't know what was going on. She also wanted to find out more from Mrs. Ji.

"Where did Madam hear that Governor Lu was in poor health?" Meng Wenyao asked mysteriously.

"It was our old man Ji. One time when he was drinking, he persuaded Governor Lu to get married. Governor Lu himself said that he was not in good health and was unwilling to get married. As for why it was not good, I don't know."

After saying that, Mrs. Ji sighed and muttered: "He looks handsome and majestic, and there is nothing wrong with him at all."

With a flash of eye, Meng Wenyao thought of a good idea, and she whispered: "Since Governor Lu is resting in the mansion, why don't Madam send someone to try it?"

"Why didn't you try? Every time Governor Lu comes over, I send the girl over to wait on him. He won't even let him in the house."

It was really impossible for water to splash in, and there was no gap for inserting needles. Meng Wenyao sighed and saw Miss Ji running from the front with a blushing face.

Seeing the spring-filled look on her face, Meng Wenyao suddenly felt that Governor Lu's peach blossoms were too prosperous and she had to take action as soon as possible.

Soon, Mrs. Ji let the two little girls of similar age play by themselves and walked away. Miss Ji also has a cheerful temperament, and she complains when she pulls Meng Wenyao along.

"To tell you the truth, I have been admiring Governor Lu since I was 13 or 13 years old. Damn it, my parents said they disagreed because of their seniority, and now they want me to marry someone else. I almost want to go to the capital to find Governor Lu myself. Fortunately he is here, I must express my feelings to Governor Lu today, I will not marry him but him."

She was a brave girl, and she took the lead. Meng Wenyao also had a reference. She tried: "Don't you know that Governor Lu is not in good health and cannot marry a wife?"

"These are all rumors. I heard a few words from the servants in the mansion, and my father personally reprimanded them for spreading rumors. It can be seen that these are all fabricated by those servants."

Well, Meng Wenyao looked at this innocent little girl and said: "You are just expressing your feelings. If Governor Lu refuses, you will have no way out. Why don't you just give me a bowl of soup with added ingredients to test it? Governor Lu really can’t do it, and you have to give up on this. If he can do it, you can take the opportunity to cook the rice."

Since Mr. Ji has saved Lu Yiran, even if Miss Ji does something outrageous, Lu Yiran will not care too much. Therefore, although Miss Ji is pushed ahead, Meng Wenyao can still be sure that Miss Ji will not be severely punished. .

Furthermore, Meng Wenyao will always pay attention to the situation. If Governor Lu is able to do so, she will definitely get Miss Ji away as soon as possible and do it herself. She and Lu Yiran should be the ones doing the cooking.

"You really thought of me together. I had planned to do this tonight. Then you can help me watch over my father and my mother and don't let them interfere with my good things."

This girl is really a tiger. Meng Wenyao couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Okay."

In the evening, Lu Yiran returned to the room very drunk. As soon as he sat down, he heard someone outside reporting Miss Ji's request for an audience. Recalling that Mr. Ji's words meant getting married, he decisively refused.

Half an hour later, the guard reported again: "Miss Meng and Miss Ji want to see you."

Since it was two people together, there should be no worries about being alone. Lu Yiran let the two little girls in after rubbing his dizzy head.

"Captain, this is the hangover soup prepared by the kitchen for you."

Picking up the small porcelain bowl, Lu Yiran drank it all in one gulp, put the empty bowl on the tea tray, and asked, "Anything else?"
