Chapter 173: Start to Establish Authority

After Meng Qianqian and Lu Yuan lived in the same yard, she gradually became familiar with Lu Yuan's life. For example, he got up early every day, read for half an hour, and then went to court. He would go to the back mountain for an hour every night and always come back sweating profusely.

She had seen him several times, and Manager Cen was worried that she might misunderstand, so he told her that the Grand Commander was practicing sword skills, day after day, without interruption for more than ten years.

Outsiders only know that he is in a high position with great power, but they fail to see that behind this high position and great power is his hard work day after day.

Before going to bed, Meng Qianqian thought again of the childhood experience that Lu Yuan had inadvertently mentioned.

This was the first time he took the initiative to talk about his past.

Manager Cen had told her that Lu Yuan was separated from his biological mother when he was young and was adopted by the Prime Minister. She thought that he was adopted by the Prime Minister not long after being separated. She sighed that his life in the Prime Minister's Mansion was not easy.

Now it seems that he had already suffered a lot before he entered the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Meng Qianqian suddenly realized that she didn't understand him at all.

Even as she lay on the bed, Meng Qianqian was still murmuring, "Lu Yuan, what kind of past do you have?"
-
After Lu Yuan stopped going to court, he changed his sword practice to the morning.

After working out and sweating a lot, you naturally need to take a shower and change clothes.

Just after finishing washing and putting on clothes, he heard Meng Qianqian calling baby outside his door.

The shameful scene from yesterday suddenly flashed through his mind, and Lu Yuan's breathing stagnated. Is this girl addicted to shouting?

He opened the door and said, "Meng Xiaojiu!"

Meng Qianqian and Baoshu were standing in the corridor, and they turned their heads to look at him.

Baoshu grabbed the half-drunk milk bottle and spit out a bubble of milk, boo!

Lu Yuan looked at the kid and felt embarrassed.

Meng Qianqian tilted her head and asked, "Grand Commander, is there anything wrong?"

"I..." Lu Yuan opened his mouth.

Meng Qianqian's eyes fell on the belt on his right hand: "Do you want Xiaojiu's help?"

As she said that, she touched Baoshu's little head and said, "Play with the baby later, Qingshuang."

Qingshuang stepped forward and took Baoshu from Meng Qianqian.

Meng Qianqian walked towards Lu Yuan: "Grand Commander, give it to me."

Lu Yuan handed the belt to her expressionlessly.

Meng Qianqian pulled him into the room, stood in front of him, slowly approached him, put her hands behind his back, and put the belt around his muscular waist without a trace of fat.

From a distance, it looked like she was nestling in his arms like a little bird, hugging him gently.

Meng Qianqian's movements were smooth and fluid; after all, she often dressed Baoshu, so she had already practiced them.

"Okay, Grand Commander."

Lu Yuan hummed in a cold voice.

Meng Qianqian curled the corners of her lips and said, "I'll go call Tan'er."

Tan'er likes to go to bed early and most people can't wake her up.

After she went out, Bao Shu staggered over and started yelling at Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan frowned strangely and asked Qing Shuang, "What did she say?"

Qingshuang: "She said that you are such a grown-up, but you still need others to dress you. Isn't that shameful? If you can't be a good father, don't be one. She will be your father."

Lu Yuan clenched his fist: "Little bastard!"

On the other side, the old lady also stood up and was struggling with Zhao Si.

Zhao Si and Xi Que were sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to serve the old lady. After the old lady moved into the Governor's Mansion, they also moved in.

You know, there was once a man named Zhao Si in the Governor's Mansion. He was executed in public by Shangguan Ling for revealing Lu Yuan's whereabouts. When the servants in the mansion heard that Zhao Si had also arrived at the mansion, they almost thought that "Zhao Si" had come back to life.

Fortunately, it was just the same name and it was a false alarm.

"I won't ride in your carriage!"

"Grandfather, please give me a job."

Since Zhao Si entered the Governor's Office, he has been useless.

The old lady has someone to serve her and someone to do the chores in the yard, he is almost dead from boredom!
The old lady snorted, "I want to ride in Qianqian's carriage!"

Zhao Si bowed and said, "Please, please." The magpie covered his mouth and laughed.

"Great-grandmother." Meng Qianqian stepped in.

The old lady fell on the bed and said, "Oh, Zhao Si won't let me ride in his carriage!"

Zhao Si shuddered in disbelief: "No... why are you putting the blame on me?"

Meng Qianqian couldn't help laughing, she suppressed the corners of her lips and said helplessly: "In this case, my great-grandmother can only squeeze into the same carriage with my husband and me."

Zhao Si stretched out his hand: "Miss!"

The old lady smiled mischievously: "Hehe~"

Meng Qianqian was in the same carriage with Lu Yuan and the old lady. Baoshu also wanted to get on, but was stopped by Tan'er.

Tan Er said with a smile: "Bao Zhuzhu, come sit with your sister!"

Baoshu decisively stretched out her hand to refuse!
Tan Er: "Rejection is invalid."

At the gate, Steward Cen carefully checked the carriage to make sure there were no omissions. He then stood by the window and whispered to Meng Qianqian, "Madam, this is the first time the Grand Commander has attended a wedding banquet. If there are any shortcomings in the etiquette, please remind him."

Meng Qianqian was puzzled: "With his previous status, he should have received many wedding invitations, right?"

Manager Cen said, "We have indeed received many requests. Some even asked the Grand Commander to be the witness, but the Grand Commander doesn't like to be the witness."

Meng Qianqian asked: "What does he like?"

Manager Cen smiled and said, "To carry out a funeral."

Meng Qianqian: “…”

Yu Zichuan and Qingshuang also went.

They went there to eat melons.

They did not ride in a carriage, but on horses, as riding horses gave them a wider view and made it easier to eat the melons.

The group set off for the Lu family.

Meng Qianqian guessed that today's trip would definitely not be peaceful, but she didn't expect to run into her first acquaintance before the meal even started.

Two carriages were coming towards each other, both trying to turn east and enter Qingfeng Street, neither giving way to the other.

A voice that was intimidating without being angry came from the carriage opposite: "Who is it?"

The driver said, "My Lord, it looks like... it's the carriage from the Governor's Office."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yuan opened the curtain, looked at the carriage opposite and said with a half-smile: "What a coincidence, long time no see, I hope you are well, Mr. Yang."

Lord Yang and Lu Yuan have known each other for many years, so they can naturally recognize each other's voices.

In the past, Yang Ge Lao would have definitely let Lu Yuan go, but now, he didn't even lift the curtain, but just said indifferently: "It turned out to be the Grand Commander. I just came down from the court and was in a hurry to deal with important matters, so I'll go ahead."

This is telling Lu Yuan: You, Lu Yuan, don’t even dare to go to court now, you don’t expect me to give way for you, right?

"Walk."

He gave orders to the driver.

Lu Yuan curled his lips and smiled: "Did I tell you to go first?"

Elder Yang said coldly: "Do you want to attack me in the street?"

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Mr. Yang, you are too polite. You are a veteran of three dynasties and a loyal minister. How dare I touch you?"

Elder Yang snorted disdainfully.

But just after he finished humming, he heard Lu Yuan say, "Take off the wheel."

Yang Ge Lao slapped the table and angrily lifted the curtain: "Let's see who dares!"

Yu Zichuan: "It's finished."

One wheel in the hand and one wheel at the feet.

It's much easier to dismantle a car than a house.

Boom!

The carriage collapsed, and Yang Ge Lao immediately fell on his buttocks: "Lu Yuan!!!"
