"Although my Lu family is not a wealthy family, it is still better than theirs. It's not that we can't give you what you want."

Su Songqi smiled and said, "Lord Lu, you are joking. I am not selling my daughter. How can I have any conditions? The other party just proposed the betrothal gift."

Lu Guang snorted coldly, "In that case, since my family has come to propose marriage on behalf of my son, we have made sufficient preparations. This is the list of betrothal gifts my family has drawn up, please take a look, Lord Su."

Su Songqi took it and after just two glances his eyes lit up, like a greedy old fox.

The betrothal gift list was different from the usual ones. It had a separate page of paper filled with houses, fields, gold, silver and jewelry given to Su Qingci's father. These were all very rare treasures.

After this page of paper, the real betrothal gift to Su Qingci was presented.

"Master Lu, what do you mean by this? Why is there something for me on the betrothal gift list?"

Lu Guang looked away, "It's not easy for Lord Su to raise a daughter. This is my son's gift to his future father-in-law. I wrote it out separately to avoid missing it."

"Anyway, only our two families can see the betrothal gift list. Outsiders will not know about it."

"My son said it, it's written in black and white, he can't deny it even if he wants to, Lord Su can rest assured."

"Besides that, I have something else to give to Lord Su. I hope Lord Su will accept it."

Su Songqi's heart moved, but he pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh... I wonder what it is?"

Lu Guang: "I heard that Lord Su's three sons are preparing for the imperial examination, but the next exam will take some time, and there will be many variables as time goes by."

"For men, fame, wealth and status are the most important things."

"So, I have found some jobs for Lord Su's third son in the court. I wonder if Lord Su thinks it's a good idea?"

Hearing this, Su Songqi was secretly happy.

In fact, he had long thought about finding some jobs for his three good-for-nothing sons in the court, but he had no choice but to rely on the strict investigations by those people, not even giving them any loopholes.

Now that Lu Guang has taken the initiative to offer it to the door, this is a great thing!

Moreover, Lu Guang is not an ordinary person. He not only holds real power in the army, but also has considerable say in the Ministry of War.

More importantly, the current emperor’s younger sister, Princess Nanjia, is his second wife, a true royal relative!

The breadth of his connections is far beyond what I can compare to.

"Although it's not an important job, it will make my reputation better if I tell others about it. Besides, I will be free on weekdays, which will help me prepare for the imperial examinations in the future."

"Master Su, don't you agree?"

Su Songqi was the right prime minister in the imperial court, a position that could not be further promoted, so he was determined to find jobs for his sons.

The gift from Lu Guang really touched his heart.

Su Songqi clapped his hands and said, "Lord Lu is so straightforward. I feel a little sorry for it."

Lu Guang rolled his eyes secretly: "Actually, there is..."

Su Songqi was delighted: "My Lord, do you have any more surprises? Why don't you tell others about it?"

Lu Guang slowly said: "This time, we need to use 'look'..."

After saying that, Lu Guang clapped his hands. After three claps, the Lu mansion's housekeeper came in with a dozen beautiful and charming Jiangnan actors.

Dozens of beautiful actors stood in a row. They were slender, their skin faintly visible under the thin and transparent gauze skirts. Their seductive figures and affectionate eyes were enough to captivate people.

Moreover, these women have different styles. Some are delicate and gentle, some are bright and lively, and some are seductive, but each one has her own unique style and flavor.

Su Songqi's eyes were shining, and his nose was bleeding, but he had to pretend to be confused, "Master Lu, what do you mean?"

"These are the Jiangnan performers that I have specially found for Lord Su. Don't worry, Lord. Not only are they all pretty, but they are all young girls for you to enjoy."

"It's just this matter. It's not nice to tell others about it. How can a son-in-law give more than a dozen concubines to his future father-in-law?"

"So... Lord Su and I must keep this a secret together. At the same time, we must be careful not to let the news get out. Otherwise..."

"It's not good for your reputation either."

Lu Guang said this clearly, with a strong warning in his words.

Also, although it was a gift, after the gift was given, Lu Huan had the leverage over Su Songqi.

Su Songqi treated Su Qingci as a chess piece that could be bought and sold at will, and put forward many harsh demands and conditions to those who came to him to propose marriage.

Moreover, everyone in the officialdom is aware of his reputation.

Now, even if Lu Guangtong and Lu Huan sent these gifts, even if they were given and publicized, no one would think that they were sent by Lu Guangtong and Lu Huan himself.

He could only think that Su Songqi was an insatiable old fox, and that he was taking advantage of the fact that his son liked Su Qingci and that he had an insatiable appetite and had made so many demands.

However, his and Lu Huan's reputations were still clean.

Su Songqi was extremely satisfied today. Among all the families who came to propose to Su Qingci, only the conditions offered by the Lu family were the most satisfactory to him.

Although he wanted to send Su Qingci to the prince's bed that day, the prince was greedy for beauty and easily bored with the old and easily pleased with the new. Perhaps after a while he would forget about Su Qingci and ignore her.

Moreover...even if he really sent Su Qingci to the prince's bed, the prince might not necessarily give him any benefits.

People like the prince are birds of a feather.

Others were always rushing to please him and sending women to his bed, but I have never heard of the prince asking for any benefits from others.

In comparison, even if the prince succeeded, everything was still unknown. And by then, Su Qingci would hate him, and if he pushed him a little, he might end up with nothing.

What can be done if Su Qingci marries Lu Huan even if she doesn't want to?

Could it be possible that he coaxed Lu Huan into killing him?

If Su Qingci married into the Lu family, she and the Lu family would be in-laws, and Lu Huan would become his son-in-law.

How could a son-in-law kill his own father-in-law?

The more Su Songqi thought about it, the better he felt it was. If this marriage was made public, it would also be good for his reputation.

By then, Princess Nanjia will become Su Qingci's mother-in-law. Wouldn't he be related to the royal family?

By then, wouldn't it be easy to arrange some lucrative and powerful jobs for my three sons?

If you think about it carefully, this marriage is really good!

"Master Su, my son said that if Master Su agrees to my marriage with your daughter, these three things will all be yours."

"But if Lord Su does not agree to this marriage, then... nothing will happen!" Lu Guang said in a strong and powerful voice.

Su Songqi's eyes were flustered for a second, but he quickly calmed down, "Lord Lu, you are joking. Lord Lu is a pillar of the country, and I have always admired you."

"I have wanted to marry into your family for a long time. Now that I have this good fortune, I am really relieved, relieved."

Lu Guang: "That's good."

"These boxes I brought today are part of the betrothal gifts for Miss Su. I hope Master Su will order someone to carry them to Miss Su's room intact."

Su Songqi originally wanted to take these boxes for himself, but he didn't expect Lu Guang to specifically warn him.

"Master Lu is right. Those things naturally belong to my daughter."

Lu Guang stood up, not wanting to talk to him again, "If that's the case, I'll go back first."

Su Songqi looked at the dozens of beauties in front of him and could not move at all. He immediately arranged for a servant to "send Lord Lu out properly and do not neglect him."

"Yes."

……

When Lu Guang returned home, he found Lu Huan waiting for him in the corridor that he would definitely pass by.
