wealthy queen

Back in the apse, facing the pain and grievance of everyone in the room, Shen Liang felt warm in his heart, and comforted him helplessly. He is not money, so how could everyone like him?He doesn't care what people think or say, as long as he feels that he has a clear conscience, but whether he cares about his reputation is not the point. The point is that someone has bullied him and offended his family and friends. Worried and sad, this thing can't be good.

"Yang Peng, go and help Yuan Shao, I want to know who is behind it before dark at the latest."

After comforting relatives and friends, and introducing them respectively, Shen Liang summoned Yang Peng, his tone was soft without any fluctuation, but anyone who knew him knew that he was angry.

"Yes."

Yang Peng went away in response, their lord had been bullied to this point, but none of the members of the Nether Dark Guard felt at ease, waiting to find out who was behind the scenes and let out a fierce breath of anger.

"Brother Yue, Xiao Qi will bring over a piece of medicinal material later, you help me prepare it and bring it to the dormitory, be careful, it is highly poisonous."

Shen Liang stood up as he spoke, he still had to check He Rong carefully, he didn't have time to sit here and chat with them all the time.

"it is good."

Wei Yue didn't ask anything, just nodded in agreement, and Shen Liang explained to his father before going to the side hall bedroom with King Xia Yang and his wife.

At the same time, Lu Shuren, who returned to the prime minister's mansion, felt something was wrong after hearing the rumors outside. After thinking about it for a long time, he still called his wife and Sifang's family to the front yard. Still immersed in the joy of Shen Liang being attacked by rumors, as long as they think of the scene where he is suffering because of the rumors at this time, and he may be abolished because of this in the near future, they can't help being all sorts of secrets, and dare to fight against him. , this is the end!

"master!"

"Father (grandfather)"

A group of people filed into the front hall and bowed to Lu Shuren, who was sitting in the main seat, at the same time. The latter waved his hands with a cold attitude: "Sit."

"Yes."

Fourth Master Lv sat down on one side, while Fourth Madam and her daughter graciously helped the old man to sit on the other side.

"Grandpa, has the matter of the engagement been settled?"

Mrs. Lu Si sat down obediently to her husband, and Lu Mengrao waited beside the old lady, with a smile on her brows and eyes, she didn't see the discomfort and pain of yesterday, it seemed that something good happened, Lu Shuren didn't answer him, but Looking up at him deeply, being stared at by his old eyes that seemed to be piercing something, Lu Mengrao felt uncomfortable: "Why, what's wrong, Grandpa?"

Why is grandpa so weird today?Is it because the marriage contract can't be resolved, or has something else happened?

Lu Shuren still didn't respond to her. After looking away, he looked at his wife and son and daughter-in-law one by one, and they all felt terrified. After a long while, he said in a deep voice: "I'm asking you, what's going on outside?" Are those rumors about the queen related to you?"

"Master Xiang, are you confused? Why do I have nothing to do with those? The matter of the queen is your man's matter, how can I meddle in it?"

The old lady didn't think it was funny, he made it so serious just for this kind of thing, which made her think that something big happened.

"what about you?"

He is still clear about his own wife. Since she has said so, it should not be her doing. Lu Shuren looked at his son and daughter-in-law with stern eyes. Fourth Master Lu didn't know about it, so naturally he didn't shy away from his gaze: "It's not me, father. You said that Meng Rao's marriage will be resolved by you, so I won't intervene anymore."

"Father, neither do I."

Shrewdly aware that something was wrong, Mrs. Lv Si shook her head calmly. After all, she is the winner of the back house, and she still has this ability.

"Really?"

Lu Shuren was still a little skeptical, it was only the third day since the Empress came back, so far, the Lu family was definitely the most at odds with him, and after much deliberation, he felt that the family members were very suspicious.

"Of course it's true, father, what's wrong with you? What's so weird today?"

Fourth Master Lu frowned in confusion, could it be because of what happened in the court?I heard that both the emperor and the empress were in trouble today, and they named and blamed their father.

"Meng Rao, what about you?"

Waving his hands, Lu Shuren finally looked at his most beloved granddaughter, who stood upright, folded her hands on her stomach, calmly shook her head and said, "Mengrao doesn't know."

"You'd better do nothing."

Lu Shuren took another deep look at them, and his hanging heart sank a little. The attitude of the Empress Dowager Chaotang today is not only tough, he also faintly felt that if the stalemate continues, Zhao Xian will be the next step. I'm afraid he will be the one to follow.

"Old man, what's the matter?"

His condition is too wrong, the old lady asked worriedly.

Lu Shuren waved his hands and leaned back: "It doesn't matter if you don't mention it, you must not meddle in the Queen's affairs. When Madam is free, let Meng Rao take a look at the sons of each family. If it is suitable, arrange for the fourth and fourth couple to have a look." , don’t worry about the queen or concubine any more, the marriage certificate bestowed by the emperor will be returned in a way.”

Others don't know what the Nether Dark Guard means, but as the prime minister of a country, he knows very well that Shen Liang is not something they can afford to provoke, and he is still protected by the emperor. If the trouble continues, it will only be the Lu family who will be unlucky. They haven't done anything substantive yet, and there is still a chance of redemption.

"what?"

The four of them blurted out almost at the same time, Lu Mengrao stared at him in disbelief, how could this be, he obviously didn't say that way yesterday.

"Old man, what's the matter with you? Why did you order me so well? In order to send Mengluo into the palace, we have spent so much effort to train her, but now I just encountered a little resistance. Why did you give up when you said you would give up? No matter what you say She is also the chief minister of the court, the prime minister, our granddaughter, isn't she worthy of a concubine?"

The old lady quickly calmed down, frowning with puzzlement on her face, Lu Shuren put down the hand attached to his eyes and looked at him: "You also know that the old man is just a prime minister? No matter how noble a prime minister is, can he be more honored than the emperor? Madam, you If you don't want to see the Lu family go down, listen to the truth and show Meng Rao a suitable son."

"But in order to wait for the emperor, Meng Rao is already twenty-one, who is willing to marry someone who is in the same family as us?"

The old lady is still unwilling to let it go, but he has been with Lu Shuren and his wife for decades, and he knows his temper well, and realizes that things might be really tricky.

"Then lower your family status. By the way, hasn't Yun Chan married yet? Although he was born in a humble family, he is very capable. His Majesty relies heavily on him. He will become more prominent in the future. Besides, he is the only one in the Lan family. The elders are pressing, Meng Rao will be able to be the master of the house when she gets married, and if she changes her Japanese appearance, go and find out what he says."

"grandfather!"

Seeing that her marriage was about to be settled by them in a few words, Lu Mengrao growled a little out of composure, walked around to the front and knelt in front of Lu Shuren with a touch: "Grandpa, I only marry the emperor's brother, not anyone else, the emperor's brother If you don’t want me, me, I’ll become a monk and become my sister-in-law.”

Since she was a teenager, she knew that she would be a queen in the future, and now she has a queen, but it's not her. For the sake of the emperor's brother, she is willing to settle for second best, even if it is a concubine, why can't she?Obviously yesterday my grandfather had promised her that she would get what she wanted, why did she suddenly change her mind today?

"you……"

Obviously he didn't expect that his well-trained granddaughter would threaten him with becoming a monk. Lu Shuren was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe, and pointed at her with trembling fingers like chicken feet. Seeing this, Mrs. Lu Si hurriedly He knelt down next to his daughter and hugged her: "Father calm down, Mengluo didn't do it on purpose. We raised her as a queen since we were young. Now you suddenly let her give up the fact she has already established and marry someone else. She can't accept it for a while." That’s why I hope my father will forgive me.”

She knew her daughter's intentions for the emperor, but her father suddenly wanted her to marry someone else, so it was strange that she could accept it.

"If you can't accept it, you must accept it, otherwise my Lu family will suffer disaster."

If he could, why would he be willing to give up?

Lu Shuren closed his eyes in pain. After all, Mengrao was his most beloved granddaughter. Seeing her losing her composure to this point made him feel uncomfortable.

"Father……"

Mrs. Lu Si frowned and looked at him, in case her daughter would say something more inappropriate, she hugged her and bowed, "Father, my daughter-in-law will persuade Mengrao. If there is nothing else, my daughter-in-law will take Mengrao back first." .”

"Go."

Closing his eyes and waving his hands, Lu Shuren was leaning on the chair with a layer of frustration covering his whole body. Mrs. Lu Si quietly gave her daughter a calm look, hugged him and left the hall with her husband, and waited until only the two of them were left. After people passed by, the old lady leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Master Xiang, what happened?"

If it wasn't for things beyond their control, he shouldn't be so decadent.

Opening his eyes and turning his head to look at him, Lu Shuren sighed softly: "Ma'am, do you know about Qin's dark guards?"

"The dark guard?"

The old lady thought about it for a while before she said: "I have heard a little bit that they are very powerful in fighting. Back then, they assisted Madam Military God in defeating most of Qin's country. There were even rumors that they were heavenly soldiers and generals. Things they couldn't do, but they disappeared after the death of Mrs. Military God, it should be more than 300 years now? Why did Xiangye suddenly mention them?"

Ordinary people don’t know about the Netherworld Guards, but Xia State was once a subsidiary state of Qin State, and many customs and cultures were influenced by Qin State. The Netherworld Guards are a legendary army, praised by everyone in Qin State. Naturally, I have heard about it, but because the Netherworld Guards disappeared long ago, no one really took it to heart.

"The queen... is the second master of the Netherworld Guard in more than 300 years."

Those who win the netherworld win the world, this is not a joke, because he knows too well the abilities of the dark guards, he will retreat hastily, if he really annoys the queen and forces him to sacrifice the dark guards, ten Lu Xiangfus will probably be defeated. It's not enough for them to kill, he has to give up!

"This……"

The old lady was horrified: "Isn't it said that the Nether Dark Guard belongs to the Wei family? Why is the queen their second lord?"

As soon as this question was uttered, the old lady realized that Shen Liang was the grandson of the Wei family, and the current head of the Wei family was his own uncle. He was also considered half of the Wei family, and it was not so strange for the Nether Dark Guard to be in his hands.

"Ugh……"

Seeing that she had come to her senses, Lu Xiang sighed deeply again, and blamed him for being too careless, for being the first bird before he figured out anything, and now he only hoped that the empress would see him working hard for Great Xia For many years, there is hard work without credit, so don't be too serious with him, otherwise, the Prime Minister's Mansion may slowly decline.

It was impossible for Lu Shuren to dream that the Lu family had no way out.
