Surprise! The villain is my brother, stay calm!

Lu Zhanxing wanted to scold him for meddling in other people's business, but Su Xianye had already felt sympathy for him: "Husband, they are just two girls. Why don't you buy them to prevent them from being abused by unscrupulous people..."

Hearing this, Lu Zhanxing glanced at Su Xianye. As expected, she still had some kindness in her. How could she be as vicious as described in the books?

In the book, these two twin sisters were secretly arranged by Mu Qingli to be beside the Fourth Prince in order to prevent his master from turning against them.

But the Fourth Prince had the halo of the male protagonist, and he instigated the twin sisters who were both experts in medicine and poison to rebel. In the end, the two of them followed the Fourth Prince wholeheartedly and finally became concubines. The Fourth Prince believed that Mu Qingli had the intention of rebellion, and ordered the twin sisters to kill their former master.

But Mu Qingli had saved their lives, so she secretly released him.

Afterwards, Mu Qingli disappeared and her life or death is unknown.

In fact, if you think about it, how could the Fourth Prince, who is unscrupulous in achieving his goals, employ a "resourceful" person?

Moreover, Mu Qingli knew too much, and the Fourth Prince only cared about the "dead man".

So it was natural that after using her, she would be discarded. It was normal for Mu Qingli to end up like that.

Lu Zhanxing pondered for a moment and decided that instead of letting the twins become the Fourth Prince's pawns, it would be better to keep them under his own supervision.

"Lu Tong, Madam, please buy these two little girls if you feel sorry for them. You can take them to bury their father and then bring them back to the mansion."

Hearing Lu Zhanxing's voice, the two maids immediately expressed their gratitude.

The wretched man's eyes flickered slightly, and he finally retreated after accomplishing his mission.

The carriage continued to move slowly forward, and Lu Tong was left behind.

Lu Tong brought two guards to help them bury their father, and asked about their identities during the conversation.

Sitting by the window of a teahouse, Mu Qingli frowned as she held the teacup. She scraped off the tea foam and took a sip leisurely. "Let them stay in the Anguo Mansion in peace. They are not allowed to act rashly without my order."

The subordinate standing on the side responded with a "yes".

Mu Qingli looked out the window with deep eyes in thought. After spending these days with the Fourth Prince, he always felt that the Fourth Prince was not a wise leader.

The Fourth Prince was decisive and arbitrary, and although he sometimes needed his own advice, he did not truly trust himself.

Always on guard, he had originally planned to arrange the twin sisters to stay with the Fourth Prince, just in case.

But then she thought that she had already chosen her lord, and forced herself not to be indecisive, so she made up her mind to put the twins in the Duke of Anguo's Mansion.

Since the lord wants to deal with Lu Zhanyan, the best way is to let Lu Zhanxing bring the twin sisters into the mansion and monitor their every move.

But for some reason, he always felt a little uneasy.

I couldn't help but sigh, not knowing whether my choice was right or wrong!

After Lu Zhanxing sent Su Xianye back to the yard, she walked towards her grandfather's yard.

At this time, my cousin was on duty at the Hanlin Academy and was not at home.

"Are you back?" The old Duke lay on the bed, breathing weakly and coughing from time to time.

Judging from the current condition, I’m afraid it won’t last long.

"Grandfather, today I went to see Prime Minister Su. He really tried to test me, but I fooled him. His attitude was okay. He must be trying to win over our Anguo Mansion."

Lu Zhanxing informed the old Duke of what happened today.

The old Duke's eyes flashed, and his voice was light: "As long as we stabilize the Prime Minister's Mansion for the time being, it is impossible to expect the Anguo Mansion to support the Fourth Prince. Now your brother needs political achievements to rise to the top, so you can't be distracted. You should help him more. The Anguo Mansion still depends on you young people."

He would not let Su Chongwen succeed. He had already humiliated their Anguo Mansion like this, and he still wanted to please them.

"Grandfather, don't worry."

Suddenly she thought of something that could improve her political performance.

The Fourth Prince was responsible for handling this matter. After he came back, he was assigned to the Ministry of Personnel, which was in charge of all officials, and his position was higher than that of the other two princes.

However, if you want to snatch this job from the Fourth Prince, you need to plan carefully!

"Brother, don't you want to make achievements? Let him go to Yizhou. I have received news that there is a massive locust infestation over there. Locusts are flying all over the sky, making noises like thunder and rain, eating up all the seedlings. It is a miserable place.

The Wing Prince's governance ability is mediocre. The memorial has been sent to the capital. Before the memorial arrives, let Big Brother find a way to start the operation as soon as possible. As long as the governance is proper, the credit will not be lost. "

The old Duke was shocked: "Is the news reliable?"

"Yes, grandson is sure! But if you want to let big brother go to Yizhou with you, we need to think about it carefully."

The book does indeed state that this happened not long after the eldest brother’s wedding, and it was also the first thing the Fourth Prince did to gain merit, earning him even more favor from the Emperor.

"Okay, grandfather will discuss this matter with your eldest brother," the old Duke felt better after receiving the good news.

He tried hard to sit up, and Lu Zhanxing hurried forward to help him lean against the bed.

The old Duke pressed a switch beside the bed, and two palm-sized brocade boxes protruded from the head of the bed. Lu Zhanxing was very confused, and he stared at the mechanism on the head of the bed with great interest.

The old Duke opened the brocade box in front of her, revealing the silver bills, the property deeds, and two jade private seals inside.

"After Grandfather passed away, he decided to pass the title of Duke to your brother. I feel a little indebted to you. These properties are the dowries left by your great-grandmother and grandmother. The Duke of Anguo's Mansion has never had a daughter in the past two generations, so they have been kept. When your sisters got married, they only took less than one-tenth of the dowry. From now on, these dowries will be left to you. It can be regarded as a small compensation from Grandfather."

He had already given the Ink Dragon Order to his eldest grandson, and his youngest grandson was not a real playboy, so there was no reason for him to leave it all to his eldest grandson.

Although the dowry is large, it is still not as much as Mo Longling's.

What's more, the Anguo Mansion also has other incomes, and his eldest grandson gets too much.

Lu Zhanxing was shocked. She knew that her great-grandmother was the eldest princess of the late emperor, so how much would her dowry be?

Although my grandmother was the daughter of a merchant, she was a talent in business. How much wealth had she accumulated?

Oh my God, happiness came so suddenly. Is she going to become a rich woman?

She had been planning to buy more properties of her own in the next few days, but now with these two huge fortunes, she no longer has to work hard.

Lu Zhanxing took the "heavy" brocade box with an excited expression, his eyes full of surprise: "Grandfather, I knew you loved me, hahahaha, now I don't have to worry about not having money to spend..."

Seeing his grandson's greed for money, the old Duke couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, yes, as long as you listen to your brother, it will be enough for you to spend for several lifetimes. The person in charge of these account books now is Yu Feng, the son of Yu Zongguan. If you don't understand, just ask him!"

The accumulated wealth is indeed incalculable.

Although it is inferior to the Molong Order that has been passed down from generation to generation since the founding of the country, it is also a staggering fortune.

Lu Zhanxing hugged the brocade box tightly and smiled: "Grandfather, don't worry. I promise to listen to you all my life. I prefer to be a rich and well-fed kid, hehehe!"

Hearing this, the old Duke couldn't help but smile. Although his youngest son didn't achieve much, he had done nothing wrong under the protection of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion. Fortunately, he still had two grandsons who didn't let him down.

After the grandfather and grandson chatted for a while, the old Duke felt exhausted, so Lu Zhanxing tactfully took his leave.
