After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death

Seeing Ning'er come in, Lu Kui stood up before the maid could report, bowed, and said with a smile: "I guess this lady is the old lady's granddaughter."

Ning'er saw that he was wearing a jade crown on his head, a moon-white satin robe with an embroidered collar, a jade hanging from his waist, red lips and white teeth, smiling eyes and eyebrows, and talking happily.

There was no trace of his previous gloomy look, he was like a noble young man, even pretending that no one knew him.

Madam Zhu laughed when she heard this, but she was not annoyed. Instead, she pointed at Ning'er and said, "Although she is not a granddaughter, she is not bad either. This is my sister's granddaughter."

She waved to Ning'er and said with a smile, "Come here, kid, why don't you meet Lord Lu. He is good friends with the Marquis, so you can just call him Uncle Lu."

Uncle...

When the old lady said this, Ning'er's mouth couldn't help twitching. She raised her eyes and saw that Lu Kui's face was half black on the seat opposite.

She suddenly found it interesting, squatted down, and said obediently: "Ning'er greets Uncle Lu."

Lu Kui sucked in a breath of cold air, and almost couldn't hold back his smile. After a long while, he said, "Miss Ning'er, why bother being so polite? Just call me by my name."

Madam Zhu disagreed, "There is an order of seniority. Ning'er is also my grandchild. How can she be so rude to Lord Lu?"

Lu Kui picked up the tea in a panic and took a sip. Then he calmed down and said with a smile, "Miss Ning is so outstanding, and she is only the granddaughter of the old lady. It can be seen that the old lady is very good at taking care of people."

These words touched Zhu's heart. She smiled and nodded, "It's a pity that my two grandchildren are not at home today, otherwise I would definitely call them to meet you. It's not that I am biased towards my own family, but my granddaughter is the most beautiful among the sisters."

Lu Kui didn't care about the eldest daughter of the Shen family at all. He was just puzzled that his father was seriously ill, but the mistress of the Xinyuan Marquis's mansion and the legitimate sons and daughters were not at home.

This is so unreasonable, there must be something fishy.

Ning'er sat obediently aside as a decoration. She thought to herself, this Lord Lu is really a bullshitter. When did he become a good friend of the Marquis? I just wonder if the old lady has heard of his "reputation".

After hearing what the old lady said, Lu Kui smiled and praised: "The Marquis is really lucky. He has a loving mother like you who takes care of him, and he also has a beautiful wife and concubines, and children around him. He is really a blessed man."

Madam Zhu smiled at first, then showed a trace of sorrow: "Alas... That being said, this time it was a narrow escape, and I was blessed by the Bodhisattva to be able to save my life. I am old now, and I don't expect him to achieve great things, I just hope that he is safe and sound."

Lu Kui's beautiful eyes moved, and he said gently, "Old lady, there is no need to worry. The Marquis is valued by the emperor, which is something that many people would never ask for. Although this was an accident, it also allowed the emperor to see the Marquis's loyalty."

"That's why I sent the imperial physician to treat him. Lord Shen is a lucky man, so I think he will be fine. Just wait for the reward from the palace."

Mrs. Zhu was comforted and sighed, "It's hard for you to be so considerate."

She was old, and seeing the handsome young man, she couldn't help but want to be a matchmaker. She asked with a smile: "Sir, don't just talk about Chongyan. Just look at your handsome appearance and the fact that you are a young hero. Don't you worry about not finding a beautiful woman to accompany you?"

"Why have you put off this important event until now?"

If someone had mentioned this to Lu Kui before today, he would probably have immediately drawn the goose-feather knife at his waist and turned against the person, so as to teach the other person what they should not care about or ask about.

But when he heard Madam Zhu's question, he felt inexplicably embarrassed, and a slight blush appeared on his snow-white face, which was very beautiful.

He glanced at Ning'er casually and said to the old lady, "I am a person without any luck. I lost my parents when I was young and was raised by my uncle. In the past few years, I was so focused on my job that I never thought about my life."

He smiled harmlessly: "Without a mother to take care of me at home, and no one to teach me, I was delayed. I'm not afraid of being laughed at by the old lady. Now I'm 24 years old and still alone."

Old Madam Zhu saw that although he was smiling, there was a hint of sadness between his brows, which touched her motherly heart and made her feel distressed: "It's really pitiful. There aren't many other things in the capital, but there are many lovely girls. If you don't mind, I will take over the responsibility and make some plans for you."

Lu Kui was overjoyed. He stood up and bowed respectfully: "In this case, Kui would like to thank the old lady first. Thank you for your kindness." He smiled and said: "If I can make any progress, I will reward you with a generous gift."

Madam Zhu smiled and nodded: "In that case, I will wait for the matchmaking gift from the master."

Lu Kui waved his hand and said affectionately, "The old lady and I hit it off right away, so there's no need for those false formalities. I'm telling you the truth, but I'm a little picky. I wonder if the old lady would be surprised?"

Zhu was an experienced person in the world of fame and fortune. She naturally knew that given Lu Kui's conditions, he had not married yet, so she was naturally picky and had extremely high demands.

She said in a friendly manner: "Why is that so strange? Lord Lu is willing to speak frankly, so I can feel more at ease."

Lu Kui took a sip of tea and said slowly, "It's simple to say. But there are a few things. I have a bad temper, so I want a good wife, but not someone who is always submissive. It would be best if she is gentle and calm, soft on the outside and strong on the inside."

His pure eyes flashed with joy: "You know, because of the special job I do, I have been cursed for nothing."

"Although I don't care, I have to take the overall situation into consideration. Therefore, please don't look for a rich lady for me. As long as she comes from an ordinary family, with a simple family and a father and brother who are not officials, it doesn't matter if she is not from the capital."

The old lady nodded secretly after hearing this. Lu Kui was thoughtful and although his words were blunt, they made a lot of sense.

Then he said, "Third, I have received a secret order from the emperor, so I am afraid I will be very busy for two years. It will probably be two or three years before I have time to discuss marriage. A girl's youth is precious, so I will not waste her time. Please find me a man of the right age."

Zhu thought that even if someone talked about marriage quickly, it would take one or two years, and he would need another two or three years. So all these calculations would probably take another two years for her to reach the age of marriage.

After Lu Kui finished speaking, he returned to his smiling face and said, "I am ignorant and my request is really presumptuous. I hope the old lady will forgive me."

Madam Zhu said, "Your Excellency's thoughts are very reasonable. How can you be so presumptuous?"

But the more she listened, the more strange it seemed to her. The condition seemed easy, but it was actually difficult.

Given her status and position, how could she meet a girl from a small family who was good-looking and had a good personality?

Ning'er was listening, but an indescribable subtle feeling arose in her heart. She couldn't help but look up at Lu Kui, only to find that he was looking at her with a smile.

Ning Er suddenly felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. So was it her illusion? If she wasn't so self-indulgent...

At this moment, the door suddenly opened and Xiang Ming came in. She went forward to greet the old lady and said, "The second master sent someone to say that the fire in the west has been controlled, but it is difficult to put out for the time being. Please tell me, old lady, whether dinner should be placed in the courtyard?"

Old Madam Zhu was immediately overjoyed: "Is it really under control?" Although she did not show it on her face at first, she had been worried secretly in her heart, but she did not want to show her weakness in front of foreign guests.

Xiang Ming smiled and said, "That's right, but for safety reasons, it's better not to go over there easily."

Madam Zhu nodded and said, "That's right. Have the other people in the mansion been properly settled? Where is Xiuyu?"

Xiang Ming said, "Sister Xiuyu is with the Second Master. The Second House is far away from the others in the mansion, so everything is safe. On our side, except for Aunt Ye, everyone else is here."

Aunt Ye again? Ning'er's heart tightened. At this moment, she saw Xiang Ming slightly turned her head and gave her a look.

Ning'er immediately understood that there was news from the Marquis!
