Chapter 206 Please be more careful
With Tang Wanrou around, gossip doesn't have to be told by Lu Xinlan.
After the servants brought the wine and food, Lu Xinlan took Lu Xinran to the front yard.
Song Junyan was still being forced to drink by his two royal brothers. They both felt extremely unbalanced at the thought that he could marry Lu Xinran, who had magical powers.
Why can’t they get such good things?
How can my father be so partial?
Since Lu Xinran is so important...why doesn't father take her in himself!
Song Junhua, who is getting married next month, feels more and more unwilling the more he thinks about it.
If he was the one who married Lu Xinran, his path to succession would definitely be smoother.
With her help, he could let go of the resentment his mother had for her death.
"Come on, Fourth Brother, have another drink with me. When you marry the second daughter of the Lu family, you will be able to solve the cases in Shuntian Prefecture with ease. I am happy for you to have such a virtuous wife."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and patted Song Junyan on the shoulder. Song Junyan frowned slightly, looked at the unwillingness and helplessness in the eyes of his brothers, and sighed in his heart.
He silently picked up the wine bowl, clinked it with Song Junhua's bowl, and then drank it all in one gulp.
The more silent he was, the more Song Junhua and the others felt that he was taking advantage of the situation and making a silent demonstration.
A few people felt aggrieved and kept drinking.
Lu Xinran came to the front yard and saw Song Junyan being forced to drink by Song Junhua and others in the hall. He felt a little dazed for a moment.
This……
She looked around in confusion. The person getting married today should be Zhang Xinji.
Why do those guys act like the one getting married is Song Junyan?
The people who were being criticized put down their wine bowls silently and tacitly let Song Junyan off.
They are not afraid of this fourth brother, they just simply don't want to become the protagonist in their hearts when there are many people around.
Song Junyan's body swayed slightly. He held the wine bowl and looked towards Lu Xinran with squinted eyes. When he met her concerned gaze, he did not forget to raise the wine bowl in his hand.
Lu Xinran: “…”
Good, this guy must have had too much to drink.
She wanted to move forward, but Lu Xinlan gently pulled her arm.
The imperial decree hasn't been issued yet. If she moves closer like this and is seen by someone with ulterior motives, who knows what they will make up.
Seeing that she didn't come over, Song Junyan shook the wine bowl he was holding again, pursed his thin lips, and looked at Lu Xinran with a look of grievance.
Lu Xinran: “…”
Very good, she wanted to know if he could dig a palace out of his own world with his toes when he sobered up tomorrow and recalled what happened today.
However, thinking that in a month Song Junyan would be crowned king at the age of 20, and their marriage would be arranged by the imperial decree, she could not bear to see him embarrass himself in front of so many people.
She asked Cuizhu to call Ding San and others in, and hurriedly took away Song Junyan, who was drunk with a lustful look on his face, red eyes, and wanted to hug her and act coquettishly.
Lu Xinran thought of the sad look in his eyes when he left, and looked at Lu Xinlan speechlessly.
"Sister, you said..."
Is this fourth prince really a calm and reliable person?
He is like this... She is very worried about her innocence!
Lu Xinlan just smiled and pulled her to find Pei and the others. What happened to Song Junyan had nothing to do with her, but she didn't mind watching the two of them having fun and listening to the voices that shouldn't be heard~
Because Pei didn't want to travel too much today, she sent a gift to the Tang Mansion, and came directly to the Duke's Mansion.
As a result, before the meal started, she heard people talking about what happened in the Tang Mansion today, and she regretted it at the first sight.
She shouldn't have been lazy today, otherwise she would have enjoyed the sweet melon in her hand.
Just as they were eavesdropping on the people behind them talking excitedly about Fan Ling's vicious deeds, they saw the two granddaughters walking towards them.
The people behind her who were just talking about Fan Ling shut up immediately when they saw Lu Xinran.
When Pei heard that there was no follow-up to the key point, she felt very upset.
Seeing Lu Xinran sitting next to her with a smile, he raised his hand and patted her arm.
"Did you see the Fourth Prince just now?"
Lu Xinran thought of Song Junyan who was drunk and unconscious, and nodded subconsciously.
The news that she was about to be betrothed to the Fourth Prince was no longer a secret in the capital.
When Pei mentioned it in public, she wanted to clear Lu Xinran's name so that others would not take the opportunity to cause trouble.
Lu Xinran replied openly, "He was drunk. I asked someone to find his servant and send him to the next yard."
Just send him away like that?!
Pei was so shocked that she almost stood up. There were too many examples of people getting drunk in other people's houses and then being plotted against by people with ulterior motives while unconscious.
So when she heard Lu Xinran say this, her heart instantly jumped up.
"Don't worry, grandma. Nothing will happen. The guards around him are all top-notch experts. With them protecting him, nothing will happen."
If something really happens, it's just like giving up a carrot. Although it's a pity, it won't be difficult to accept.
Her careless look made Pei glare at her speechlessly, and then she called Madam Xu to ask her to go to the next yard to take a look.
Although Lu Jinchuan had never liked this marriage, Pei was very satisfied with Song Junyan, her grandson-in-law.
He was able to agree to so many playful requests and always sent people to protect her silly granddaughter. If the silly girl missed such a person of noble character, she would cry in the future.
Seeing Pei's complaints and disgust in the booklet, Lu Xinran lowered his head and touched his nose.
After leaving for a quarter of an hour, Nanny Xu hurried back and whispered something into Pei's ear.
A fierce look flashed across Pei's eyes for a moment, and she knew that in such an occasion, someone would definitely take the opportunity to do something dirty.
She grabbed Lu Xinran's wrist and said, "Come, follow grandma."
As soon as they left, the Zhao and Kong families immediately followed.
Seeing the Lu family leave in a rage, everyone who smelled gossip followed them out.
Lu Xinran has already learned from the system what happened to Song Junyan.
When Aunt Xu went over, Ling Xuan was holding a bowl of sobering soup and dealing with Ding San and others.
She wanted to marry a powerful husband, a husband of higher social status than Zhang Xinji, so there were not many people for her to choose from.
Among the several princes who have come of age or are about to come of age, only Song Junyan has not yet been arranged to be married because of Lu Xinlan.
The fact that there was no arranged marriage was her chance. When she saw him being supported over here in the hall, she immediately found a way to sneak over here.
She originally wanted to ask the maid beside her to lead away the guards guarding the door. As a result, the maid did lead away two guards, but she didn't expect that there were two more guards beside the Fourth Prince.
When she arrived, she happened to run into Ding San coming out of the house. When he saw her, he immediately stopped him outside the room.
"My lady, my master does not see outsiders."
"I, I just want to bring a bowl of hangover soup to your Highness."
Ding San glanced at the soup bowl in her hand, his eyes flashing with disdain: "The master never eats food sent by someone he is not familiar with. You'd better take it away quickly, lest someone bumps into you and affects the lady's reputation."
What Ling Xuan wanted was to be seen by others as she was entangled with Song Junyan, so she immediately shouted into the room upon hearing this.
"Your Highness, I am here to bring you some hangover soup. Please ask the guards to let me in."
