I'm reborn, so it's not too much to kill the one who traveled through the book, right?

Lu Zhu has been with Chen Yuan for so long that she has some understanding of Chen Yuan's style of doing things, that is, he is a person who cannot do things according to normal circumstances.

But despite this, Luzhu still couldn't guess what Chen Yuan gave her son-in-law to eat.

During this period, she watched coldly that her brother-in-law seemed to be in good health after taking those supplements, and did not seem to be in any condition.

Luzhu couldn't guess what Chen Yuan gave Gu Zhaoming to eat, but she was sure that it was definitely not something good.

I don’t know if the doctor can still find out anything after so much time has passed.

Luzhu was kneeling in the yard thinking, and she didn't even react when Qu Lian walked up to her.

"Luzhu, why are you kneeling here?"

Luzhu looked up and saw Qu Lian's beautiful face full of worry. She sneered in her heart, hypocrisy!

Qu Lian seemed not to notice the mockery in Lu Zhu's eyes, "Are you blaming me for asking Mrs. Liu and the others not to let you enter your master's room?"

When Luzhu saw that Qu Lian dared to bring up this matter, she glared at Qu Lian and almost spit fire at her.

Qu Lian didn't care about Lu Zhu's angry look and just said, "It seems that you prefer to be beaten than to be punished to kneel."

Luzhu suddenly reacted. Yes, if she went to help the young lady, she naturally could not fight with the old lady and the son-in-law, otherwise she would end up getting beaten for her master.

Liu didn't like the young lady in the first place, so she might show mercy to the young lady, but not necessarily to the young lady's maid.

Moreover, she would definitely not be able to protect the young lady against the uncle. By then, she would have witnessed the young lady being beaten and saw her in her most miserable state. In addition, she and Hongdou had previously had feelings for the uncle, so her fate would probably be...

Luzhu shuddered. Thinking this way, no matter which one she chose, she would not have a good ending.

Qu Lian didn't seem to notice Lu Zhu's changing expression. She just patted her shoulder gently and said, "I asked Granny Liu to save some food for you. Remember to eat it later."

After saying this, he turned around and left without waiting for Luzhu's answer. Before leaving, she caught a glimpse of a figure standing in the window of the east wing out of the corner of her eye.

Qu Lian raised the corner of her mouth slightly, turned around and went back to the ear room.

Shen Yuan looked through the window and saw his maid talking to Aunt Qu, who was also looking at Lu Zhu with concern. Chen Yuan immediately thought of the time when he was being bullied by Gu Zhaoming and his mother and son, and this slutty maid hid aside and didn't come to help, so he became furious.

After Luzhu realized her situation, she suddenly raised her head and saw the figure under the window who had no time to dodge. Her face turned pale.

When the young lady saw Aunt Qu talking to her at this time, she would definitely think a lot, and even think that she had betrayed her and was in cahoots with Aunt Qu, deliberately getting her beaten.

Luzhu's head was buzzing. She couldn't just sit there and wait for death. If she continued to wait like this, she was afraid that she would be sold like Hongdou the next morning.

How to do?

What should she do?

Luzhu was so anxious that she was sweating profusely.

She did not forget that the last time Hongdou was sold, she was caught doing something wrong the night before and was sold early the next morning.

And it was sold to an old widower in the countryside.

She didn't want to end up like Hongdou.

But her indenture was in the hands of the young lady, so what could she do?

Luzhu spent the night in fear, thinking that the young lady would sell her the next day, but she didn't expect that the young lady would act as if nothing had happened.

He even smiled at her.

When Luzhu saw that Chen Yuan was not angry but laughing instead, she became even more frightened.

…………

In early April, the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion sent out invitations widely.

There are rules for sending invitations. Not all noble families in the capital are sent invitations. Only those with whom the person has old acquaintances are sent invitations.

Like the Duke Zhenguo Mansion, the cousin's house of the old lady's mother's family, the Li Mansion, and some of the old lady Li's close friends in her early years...

And Shen Rong's master Taixu Zhenren.

Of course, Shen Rong felt that the chance of the master coming was very low, but no matter whether the old man came or not, the post still had to be delivered.

As for the Chen family, let’s not mention it.

Shen Rong thought about it and decided to send a message to Chen Yuan as well.

"Our Pingyang Marquis Mansion has been silent for too long. After so many years, we no longer have the confidence to interact with those people again." The old lady looked at the several invitations in her hand, feeling sad.

Before the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion fell into decline, it had frequent dealings with the top noble families in the capital.

But more than 20 years have passed, who will still remember the Pingyang Marquis Mansion?

Even though Changsheng had inherited the title, he did not hold any official position, so the situation in Pingyang Marquis' Mansion was no different from when Changsheng's father was still alive.

The only difference is that the economy in the prefecture is not so tight now.

What can Shen Rong say?

No matter what, the banquet must be held.

Shen Rong thought for a moment, "Madam, the Marquis has planted a lot of watermelons on the farm, and some are about to ripen. How about I send a letter to the people who loved to buy watermelons from our shop last year, inviting them to come to the mansion to taste the watermelons? What do you think?"

If this is the case, there will be more people who can be invited, but whether they are willing to come is another matter.

Thinking of this, Shen Rong added: "When that time comes, no matter who comes to the banquet, we will send six large watermelons. In this way, everyone will be willing to come to the banquet."

The fruits and vegetables that Changsheng planted in the manor were all grown in the space as seedlings, and then planted outside when they were half grown, so the fruits and vegetables did bear fruit earlier.

The old lady thought about it and nodded, "Let's do it this way!"

"Don't worry, old lady. Your granddaughter-in-law will definitely take care of this matter."

"Cough cough..." The old lady coughed a few times and glanced at Nanny Hua beside her.

Aunt Hua understood and said to Shen Rong with a smile, "Madam, you are now the Marquis's wife, and the old lady is your biological mother, Chen. From now on, you should call the master the Grand Madam!"

Before, Xiao Chen hid in the yard and dared not show up, as if she didn't exist in the mansion. The lady forgot to remind others to change the way she addressed her.

Now that we are holding a banquet in the mansion, we have to pay attention to these details to avoid being laughed at.

Shen Rong glanced at the Madam, and seeing that she nodded to her, she quickly responded:

"Then my granddaughter-in-law will go down and remind the servants later."

After Shen Rong came out of Minghui Courtyard, she asked Chun Xing to go to Shixianfang and get the account book of selling melons last year.

He also called Qiuxia to convey the lady's intention.

Soon, Chun Xing took the account book over. After Shen Rong looked through it one by one, she selected the twenty families that bought the most melons. Shen Rong wrote notes for them, regardless of whether they were noble families or ordinary merchants.

When Butler Gong saw that Shen Rong had invited merchants, he couldn't help but remind Shen Rong, "Madam, is there something wrong with the Liu family?"

Shen Rong looked at the invitation in Butler Gong's hand and said, "We are inviting the families who loved eating watermelons the most last year to come and taste this year's new watermelons in advance. Naturally, we have to choose the families who bought the most watermelons last year. If we don't choose them this way, I'm afraid this excuse will not hold water." Shen Rong paused and said, "With the current situation in our mansion, it won't be a loss of face to invite a few wealthy merchants to the banquet."

Gong Shaoshan thought about it and felt that it made sense, "Then I'll listen to my wife."
