Surprise! The villain is my brother, stay calm!

Having achieved his goal, Lu Zhanxing prepared to leave Yuzhou. He didn't know how his eldest sister's husband persuaded her, but she really didn't ask to take the woman she redeemed away. However, she did give her two beauties who knew some martial arts skills.

This inexplicably reminded her of the two female guards her brother had arranged for her. After returning from the autumn hunt, she sent them to Su Xianye. She didn't need them anyway, and fortunately her brother didn't object.

Now I have two more, given by my eldest sister. They can really be concubines and can also protect me.

Lu Zhanxing didn't refuse. After all, he had been given the indenture contract, so he might as well take it back and arrange things for it!

There were only two of them when they left, and when they returned, they were accompanied by ten beauties.

After returning to the capital, the ten beauties were placed in a farm and given a study manual, requiring them to memorize all the more than one hundred lines and rules in it.

After arranging everyone, he and Bai Jing rode back to the Duke of Anguo's Mansion.

She went to visit her grandfather first, but after a few words, her grandfather became tired, so she had to leave Mo Yun Tang.

He went to see Mu Qingli again and learned that everything was fine in the Anguo Mansion. As for the court, nothing special happened. It was just that the Second Prince was always scolded by Emperor Qian recently, the Fourth Prince was deeply favored by the Emperor, and the Fifth Prince was the same as always, spending most of his time training in the barracks.

Emperor Qian's move made all the officials who supported the Second Prince immersed in it, and some of them even began to defect to the Fifth Prince.

Lord Wei was secretly gathering the forces, but he was more cautious than the Second Prince and would not make a big fuss about it, so even Emperor Qian was unaware of it.

Although the second prince has been temporarily suppressed, he is still the most suitable candidate for succession in Emperor Qian's mind.

The fourth prince lost the qualification to compete for the throne due to his own problems.

The fifth prince was also excluded because he was not good at political intrigue. Therefore, Emperor Qian still placed his hopes on the second prince and tried to hone his character and ability by suppressing him.

For Emperor Qian, such an arrangement would allow the Second Prince to grow while allowing him to maintain control over the situation.

However, this delicate balance of power gave other forces an opportunity to take advantage.

Wei Ge Lao took the opportunity to secretly win over the hearts of the people. Although he acted cautiously, he still attracted the attention of some people. At the same time, the changes in the court also made various forces readjust their strategies and try to gain a place in this power struggle.

The entire court seemed calm on the surface, but inside it was in a tense and complicated situation.

"Does the Second Prince really believe that the Fifth Prince has no ambitions?"

She knew that the Fifth Prince in the book really had no ambition. He was supposed to support the Fourth Prince, but because his relationship was destroyed by his brother, he now only supported the Second Prince. But did the Second Prince really trust the Fifth Prince that he would not take advantage of others' situation?

Mu Qingli picked up the teacup, skimmed off the foam with the tea lid, took a sip, felt the tea fragrance spreading in his mouth, and then said lightly: "It's time to muddy the water."

It's too quiet. Although it's good for Master Lu's development, these three parties haven't suffered any loss. How can this be possible?

Lu Zhanxing also had that idea. The muddier the water in the capital, the better. This would be more beneficial to his brother.

The two chatted for a while, and Lu Zhanxing prepared to say goodbye and go see Su Xianye.

"and many more!"

Mu Qingli called her. Before Lu Zhanxing stepped out of the door, he stopped and looked back at him in confusion: "Mr. Mu, what else?"

"There is something indeed. Can we talk in my study..."

Lu Zhanxing felt uncomfortable when she thought of Mu Qingli confessing her love to the beauty in the painting in the study: "No need to go to the study, just talk in the hall."

Anyway, it’s very safe inside the Duke of Anguo’s Mansion.

Mu Qingli frowned, but finally nodded. He decided to explain what happened last time. He didn't want to see Lu Zhanxing's indifferent expression towards him.

But unlike before when she would smile when she saw him, now she was very polite when she saw him, and he didn't like it.

"Last time..."

Before he finished speaking, Hua Guo came forward to report: "Master, Lu Tong is here to look for you. He said that Young Master Sun and Lady Lan Xi are here."

Mu Qingli: "..."

He ordered last time that no matter who came, they had to report it, and if it was Lu Tong, they had to stop him, but he still couldn't stop him...

This Lu Tong is simply haunting us.

When Lu Zhanxing heard that it was his good friend Sun Qiming who came over, he could only say, "Mr. Mu, tell me what you want to say. I'll go meet the guest later."

Mu Qingli was helpless: "It's nothing important, Mr. Lu, go and get busy!"

If you are interrupted when you are about to speak, find another opportunity next time, otherwise you will not achieve the result you want.

Seeing that he was really fine, Lu Zhanxing turned around and left.

In the living room of Liuliyuan, Sun Qiming was sitting at his seat drinking tea. When he saw Lu Zhanxing, he smiled and said, "I happened to be on leave today. I heard Lan Xi said that she was coming to see your wife, so I thought I hadn't seen you for a few days, so I accompanied her here. Did I disturb you?"

"What's the big deal? You've come at the right time. I have something to discuss with you." Lu Zhanxing looked at Sun Qiming and smiled.

After hearing this, Sun Qiming showed a hint of curiosity on his face: "Oh? What's the matter?"

Lu Zhanxing smiled mysteriously and said, "Good, come with me to find my wife." Then he took Sun Qiming to Yunfeng Courtyard.

At this time, Su Xianye and Lan Xi County Master were sitting in a pavilion in Yunfeng Courtyard, leisurely drinking tea and chatting. Suddenly, they saw their husbands walk in, and they both stood up to greet them.

Lu Zhanxing was a little surprised to see Wu Lanxi again. Wu Lanxi was completely different from before. Not only did she lose her arrogance, but her complexion also became rosy and she looked energetic.

Moreover, her taste in clothing seemed to have changed. Her hair used to be covered with all kinds of pearls and jade, but now she has changed it to some exquisite and dignified jewelry, which makes her look particularly elegant.

Without asking, Lu Zhanxing could guess that the power of love made Wu Lanxi glow with new brilliance. It seems that whether a woman is happy or not can be seen from her complexion.

The four of them greeted each other before sitting down and the maid served them tea.

Wu Lanxi felt a little embarrassed when she saw Lu Zhanxing. She had once had a crush on Lu Zhanxing's brother Lu Zhanyan, and they almost got together.

But fortunately it didn't work out, otherwise I would never have married my own husband.

She lives a happy life every day now. Her husband's mouth is as sweet as honey, making her feel like she is soaking in a honey pot.

For example, when Sun Qiming saw the cakes on the table, he quickly took one and said, "Lan Xi, isn't this your favorite peach blossom cake? Come, let me feed you a bite."

Wu Lanxi's face instantly turned red with embarrassment: "Husband, someone is here..."

"What are you afraid of? Open your mouth, ah~"

Helplessly, Wu Lanxi could only open her mouth and take a small bite. Her face immediately turned red with shame, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at anyone.

She muttered to herself, what a fool my husband is, he is like this outside too... She raised her eyes shyly and saw her husband throw the remaining half of the cake in his hand into his own mouth. She suddenly felt sweet and shy in her heart, and she could not blame her husband anymore.

Thinking about how her husband had said before that they didn't have enough money to spend, she decided to take out more money from her dowry and give it to him so that he wouldn't have to go out without money.

Sun Qiming glanced at Lu Zhanxing with pride, as if he was showing off how capable he was and how he had turned an arrogant and domineering county lady into a gentle and well-behaved person.

Lu Zhanxing looked up at the sky in silence. It was fine to see his two sisters and their husbands showing affection in Yuzhou, but why did he have to be fed dog food when he came back?

Are you all bullying her?

As if everyone doesn't know how to show affection, she can do it!
