Chapter 246 This girl is really petty
In front of the Tang Mansion, Lu Xinran got out of the car surrounded by her two sisters and found that there were many other people's carriages in front of the Tang Mansion.
She raised her eyebrows in surprise. It seemed that Liu was not satisfied with Lu Xinlan and she was not the only one.
Kong smiled and glanced at her out of the corner of her eye, then stepped forward and let the nanny beside Liu lead them into the mansion.
This was not the first time Lu Xinran came to the Tang family, but it was the most different state of mind.
The Tang family is not a prominent family in the capital, so the land they occupy is not very large.
After passing through the corridor, they arrived at the old lady's yard in the backyard. They first paid their respects to Old Madam Tang, and then were led to Liu's yard.
They didn't arrive early, and several ladies were already sitting in Liu's room.
When Lu Xinran entered the room, she subconsciously glanced at the faces of several people. She had seen these ladies at previous banquets.
She just happened to be acquaintance with the girls behind them.
She went forward with Kong to greet Liu, and then smiled and nodded to each of the girls.
Several people looked at her, their faces showing some nervousness.
None of them expected to meet the Lu family in the Tang Mansion today.
Some people were already worried, fearing that Lu Xinran would uncover what was happening in their own homes.
Lu Xinran had just received a large amount of health points from Hanyu Pass some time ago, and the system was upgraded from fifty steps to one hundred steps. According to the system, these one hundred steps are already the limit of the distance.
There’s no way to extend the distance by upgrading next time, so she’s not really interested in eating melons right now.
She had read Liu's booklet before and had guessed her thoughts, so she was too lazy to look at Liu's little plan at this moment.
After sitting down, she pulled up her handkerchief and gave a soft and appropriate smile, no matter what everyone said, she smiled and nodded in agreement.
Originally, Liu's favorite candidate was Lu Xinlan, but Zhao's words were so ruthless that she couldn't help but take it to heart.
Thinking that if her son really married Lu Xinlan, she would have to become a relative of such an ungrateful lady, she began to back out.
We invited so many people here today, and we also wanted to use Lu Xinran’s system to see if there are any suitable candidates.
After the Lu family entered the room, a quarter of an hour passed and there was actually silence in their ears. The frightening voice did not appear even once.
She couldn't help but look at Lu Xinran suspiciously. Isn't this girl the one who loves to spy on the privacy of other people? Why is she so quiet today?
Kong slightly tilted her body to block Liu's inquiring gaze.
Seeing her like this, Liu couldn't look at her intentionally, so she smiled and tried to find a topic to talk about.
"Miss Lu, I heard that the fighting on the border is intense and there have been many wounded soldiers in Hanyu Pass. Is this true?"
When she asked about the situation at the border, everyone immediately became interested and looked over with smiles.
Without Lu Xinlan by his side, and no one to serve as his mouthpiece or brain, Lu Xinran could only use his IQ and EQ to get online immediately.
She nodded with a proper smile and said, "Yes, Chahar has mobilized nearly 300,000 people to attack Yucheng Pass and Hanyu Pass. If General Xie had not received the news in advance and made proper arrangements, Chahar would have already reached the capital."
"Oh my god, why is it so serious?"
Wang, the aunt of Cui Shenglin from the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, exclaimed in surprise, and the two girls behind her also turned pale.
"The border has always been short of food and clothing, and the army is only 100,000. How could it not be serious? It is a miracle that Hanyu Pass can be defended. It is because General Xie and General Qi are so good at using their troops that we can still live a stable and luxurious life in the capital. We should always be grateful to them for using their flesh and blood to stop the brute force invasion of foreign tribes at the border."
Her words made people feel inexplicably uncomfortable. Several people in the room either raised their hands to touch their temples or picked up tea bowls and pretended to drink tea.
Liu frowned slightly, as if she didn't expect that she, who had always been simple-minded, would become like a different person today.
She hurriedly smiled and spoke to smooth things over, "This battle is difficult. I heard from the master that the Ministry of Revenue has already sent another batch of food and fodder, and all kinds of supplies are also being mobilized.
"Thank you Generals Qi for your bravery. I believe that you will be able to recapture Yucheng Pass soon and drive the foreign tribes out of the borders of our Great Chu."
Liu's words were very generous, so Lu Xinran couldn't say anything more and could only nod.
Having hit a snag when talking about the border, Liu wasn't sure what her mentality was today, so she stopped probing her with words and turned the conversation to other ladies.
Lu Xinran looked at her graceful and skillful appearance, and called out to the system in his mind, asking it to record all of Liu's words and actions today.
"Why do you remember these?"
"Observe and learn. Didn't you hear what grandma said? I'm going to be a princess in the future, so I have to socialize. If that guy wants to compete with me, I have to help him."
His reason for the sake of the people of the world successfully moved her and gave her a reason to stop living a life of idleness and waiting for death.
The system hummed, and immediately went to work diligently.
Liu was very good at dancing, and in just a quarter of an hour she made the atmosphere in the room lively again.
No matter who she talked to or what the topic was, the voice she expected never appeared.
This inevitably made her a little disappointed. It would be best if she could find a girl other than Lu Xinlan who was suitable for Tang Chongli.
But, she glanced at Lu Xinran again. Could it be that this girl had noticed what she was thinking?
She had previously asked Tang Quyan to talk to Lu Jinchuan about the marriage between the two families. Judging from Lu Jinchuan's behavior, this girl should have known what they were thinking.
Thinking of this, her eyes quickly swept across the girls and ladies in the room, and in an instant she realized that her thoughts had been guessed by that girl.
Knowing that she was beginning to hesitate again, I was afraid that I had already decided to give her a negative score.
This thought made her feel bitter, knowing that if she didn't save her, she would never be able to marry Lu Xinlan into the mansion.
"Xinran girl, is your sister doing well at the border? Did she say when she will be back?"
Realizing that she had done something stupid, she stopped trying to be tactful and directly asked about Lu Xinlan who was far away at the border.
Lu Xinran smiled and put down the tea bowl in her hand: "Mrs. Lao Tang is worried about my sister. She is doing well at the border. It is different from the capital. There are not so many restrictions over there. Although life is a little harder, people will be much more comfortable than in the capital.
"Besides, she is going to take care of the Queen. With the Queen protecting her, she can do whatever she wants.
"Sister, you have performed great service this time. The Queen even said that she would ask for an imperial decree to reward you after she returns."
She repeated what she had said to Pei before, without mentioning when she would come back.
Liu's mouth became more and more bitter. This girl... is so petty that she starts to scheme against her good sister before she even has a chance to marry.
However, the more the girl said this, the more she felt that Lu Xinlan was the most suitable for her Chongli.
