Chapter 174 Xiaojiu takes his brother home
Lu Yuan walked away, leaving only Lord Yang sitting in the carriage in a mess, surrounded by people.

Yang Ge Lao was furious: "I will file a memorial to impeach you...I will file a memorial to impeach you!"

Qingshuang rode beside the carriage. After listening to Yang Gelao's roar, she said to Lu Yuan, "The Grand Commander said he wants to impeach you."

Lu Yuan said nonchalantly: "Let him go. Hasn't this governor been impeached enough in recent years?"

Sure enough, making others unhappy makes you happy.

Lu Yuan was in a good mood.

Today is the wedding of Lu Lingxiao and Lin Wan'er. Although the Lu family's status in the capital is not very high, Lin Wan'er is marrying as the adopted daughter of the Yao family, so it is still a lively occasion.

Except for not giving Lin Wan'er the generous dowry she deserved, the Yao family did give her everything else that was decent.

The step-out bed was purchased by the Yao family, the child who sat on the bed was found by the Yao family, and even the wife invited was a well-known figure in the capital. All the etiquette was completed for the bride, from combing her hair to putting on makeup.

The servants are well-trained and busy but not chaotic.

Lin Wan'er should have been content.

But for some reason, she always thought of the grand wedding that Lu Yuan gave to Meng Qianqian, which was enough to make a sensation in the capital. To this day, she still hears the servants talking about the grand occasion of that day from time to time.

Although Meng Qianqian has no father or mother and no family to rely on, she has a grandfather who loves her so much and two uncles who treat her like their own daughter. I heard that even her maternal family loves her very much.

It was also from Lu Lingxiao that she learned that when Lu Lingxiao was almost starving to death at the border, it was the Meng family that sent him food and fodder in time.

No wonder the soldiers on the border were so grateful to her that they even personally carried the sedan chair to send her off.

For the first time, Lin Wan'er felt that there was nothing wrong with being a businesswoman.

"Miss, what are you thinking about?"

Green Radish asked in a low voice.

Lin Wan'er gestured: I am an orphan, anyone can bully me.

Luoluo was stunned for a moment and looked at the people in the room. Fortunately, they didn't understand sign language.

Luluo leaned close to Lin Wan'er's ear and whispered, "Madam, on such a happy day, don't say discouraging words."

Luoluo only dares to act rudely to Meng Qianqian. Once she arrives at the Yao family, she dares not say a word.

Seeing that Lin Wan'er was still a little unhappy, she realized that her daughter was competing with Meng Qianqian again, so she whispered: "The higher you climb, the harder you fall. There were so many people who were jealous of her wedding at the beginning, and now there are so many people waiting to see her make a fool of herself. I heard that Lu Yuan has not been to court for many days, and there are rumors outside that Lu Yuan has fallen out of favor. Lu Yuan has offended so many people in the capital. Once he loses power, I don't know how many people hope he will die. I'm afraid Meng will soon become a widow again!"

After hearing what Luoluo said, Lin Wan'er was finally happy and said in sign language: That's right, General, you have suffered a lot of bullying from Lu Yuan, and you will ask Lu Yuan to get it back in the future.

Although she is an orphan, she is lucky and smarter than Meng Qianqian. She doesn't need to envy Meng Qianqian. From now on, only Meng Qianqian will envy her.

Lin Wan'er sent Luoluo to see if Lu Lingxiao had arrived. Lu Lingxiao promised her that he would come to pick her up early.

However, Luoluo went to check seven or eight times, but Lu Lingxiao never showed up.

Lu Lingxiao went out quite early, and perhaps for some reason, every street was blocked.

When he got closer, he found that the people blocking the road were all officials who had just returned from court. They were all very angry and their wheels were neatly unloaded on the side of the street.

The people who came to watch the fun blocked the road so tightly that no one could get through, let alone the bridal sedan. Even a child had difficulty squeezing through.

It was almost the evening hour when Lu Lingxiao finally arrived at the Yao family.

At this time, there was only one hour left until the auspicious time for the wedding ceremony. Originally, the bride's family wanted to block the door and embarrass the groom, but now they had no time to worry about it. The Yao family hurriedly sent Lin Wan'er to the bridal sedan.

The ones who carried Lin Wan'er's sedan chair were not Zhang Feihu's group of generals on the battlefield. They were ordinary sedan bearers. At most, they had more strength than ordinary people, but they couldn't walk fast.

After finally arriving at the Lu family, the matchmaker hurriedly urged the bride to get down.

Lin Wan'er didn't realize the groom's thoughtfulness at all, and was helped by the matchmaker to cross the fire basin, step on the saddle, and step on the tiles.

The first two went smoothly. When it came to stepping on the tiles, she stepped down and the tiles didn't break.

Everyone was shocked.

what's the situation?
It's unlucky if the tiles don't break!

"Bride, don't step on it again!" the matchmaker reminded.

Lin Wan'er could only increase her strength and kick again.

But it still didn't break.

"What's going on?" asked Luluo.

"Step on it, step on it!" The matchmaker was so anxious.

Luoluo glared at her: "Why are you yelling? My daughter is pregnant! Will you compensate her if she gets a miscarriage?"

It would have been better if she didn't say it. Once she said it, Lin Wan'er became even more embarrassed.

It's already very impolite for a bride to get married with a big belly, but she even yells about it in public. Isn't she embarrassed enough?
"Oh my, could it be that the ancestors of the Lu family are unwilling to let the new daughter-in-law marry into the family?"

Tan'er folded his arms and stepped out from the crowd of guests in a heroic manner.

Luoluo's face changed: "It's you? Why are you here? The Lu family didn't send a notice to the Governor's Office! How shameless!"

She glanced around and saw Meng Qianqian and Xi Que also standing in the crowd.

Magpie is the old lady's maid.

Xi Que said sternly, "Grand Commander Lu and Madam Lu are the honored guests of the old lady. The old lady said that guests of the Commander's Mansion should be treated with respect."

The old lady supported the young couple and she would never allow anyone to bully Meng Qianqian and her great-grandson-in-law.

Tan Er stuck out her tongue proudly at Lu Luo: "Omitted."

Green ivy was so angry that it fell over!

What’s even more infuriating is that the onlookers started to comment on the bride.

"My master is pregnant, yet I still call her shameless. Who is shameless?"

"Isn't it? In my opinion, could it be that the Lu family's ancestors really appeared and refused to let her marry?"

"Look at her belly. She was probably pregnant before General Lu divorced her."

"Then isn't she a mistress?"

Just at this moment, the sound of gongs and drums stopped.

Lin Wan'er heard everything that everyone was saying, and she tightly grasped the red silk in her hand.

Meng Qianqian, you're already married, why are you still haunting me? !
At this moment, she hoped that Lu Lingxiao could come out to protect her. However, at this moment, Lu Lingxiao was staring at Meng Qianqian with disbelief on his face.

"You asked me to come here just to see this?"

Meng Qianqian asked Tan'er.

Tan Er nodded.

Meng Qianqian asked again: "You did it?"

Tan Er giggled and whispered in Meng Qianqian's ear: "I changed the tiles. I just wanted to see if she has any martial arts skills. It seems that she doesn't have any."

Seeing that the bride couldn't break the silk by stepping on it, the matchmaker tugged at the red silk in the bride's hand and signaled Lu Lingxiao: "Step on it!"

Lu Lingxiao then came back to his senses and broke the tiles for Lin Wan'er.

When he looked up again, Meng Qianqian was no longer in the crowd.

Only Tan Er jumped up and down: "Let's go! Watch the bride and groom get married!"

Meng Qianqian did not go to see their wedding ceremony. To her, the Lu family was a thing of the past, and how Lu Lingxiao lived had nothing to do with her anymore.

Compared to Lu Lingxiao, she cares more about Lin Wan'er, because she wants to lure out the traitor among the Twelve Guards through Lin Wan'er.

On the other side, Lu Yuan was sitting in a pavilion in the front yard, sipping tea leisurely.

Qingshuang went for a stroll and ate some melons until she was full.

Lu Yuan asked casually, "Are all the guests here?"

Wait until everyone is present before going out to avoid any one slipping through the net.

Qingshuang said, "We are all here."

Lu Yuan said calmly: "What did they say?"

Qingshuang wanted to say something but stopped herself.

Lu Yuan sneered, "Even if you didn't say it, I can guess that it's all unpleasant words. These people are really boring. Even though I'm not in the court, they still think about me all the time. They love me... so deeply!"

Qingshuang looked a little uncomfortable.

Lu Yuan put down the teacup and said, "Put aside those who cursed me first. Which ones cursed Meng Xiaojiu?"

Qingshuang: "No one is scolding Madam, they are all scolding you." Lu Yuan: "..."
-
Meng Qianqian went to the pavilion to find Lu Yuan, preparing to go to the banquet with Lu Yuan, but when passing by the small garden, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

"Chen Long?"

She paused.

Even though he was wearing a hat that covered most of his face, she could still recognize him from his figure and demeanor.

Why did he come to the Lu family?
He sat down very calmly in the pavilion at the end of the small garden.

The Lu family has many pavilions, and this one in the small garden is the most quiet. Normally, no one would place snacks in the pavilion, but today there are many guests attending the banquet, half of whom are guests from the Lu family and half are guests from the Yao family.

In order not to appear neglectful, refreshments were placed on the stone table.

Chen Long raised his hand, picked up a piece of dessert and was about to put it into his mouth.

Meng Qianqian quickly said: "You can't eat it!"

Chen Long's eyes turned cold, and a cold murderous aura came towards Meng Qianqian.

Obviously, he recognized Meng Qianqian's voice and recognized that Meng Qianqian was the person who had fought with him in Fengshui Hutong that night.

Meng Qianqian's breathing stagnated.

The brother who loved her the most now looked at her with such strange eyes.

She really wanted to tell him that she was Xiaojiu.

Perhaps thinking of the Lu family's banquet, most of the people here were probably Lu family's guests, Chen Long withdrew his gaze and continued to eat snacks.

“You really can’t eat it!”

Meng Qianqian walked quickly into the pavilion.

She had been in the Lu family for five years and knew all of their snacks very well. Chen Long took a piece of rose pastry, which had peach meat in it to enhance the taste.

My brother is allergic to peach flesh.

Chen Long ignored her.

Meng Qianqian couldn't just say, "I know your weakness," nor could she make up a story that the snack was poisoned. Chen Long knew better than her whether it was poisonous or not.

She could only steel herself and said seriously, "I, I, I, I'm serious! These snacks are not clean, they have been licked by the children!"

Seeing Chen Long looking at her indifferently, she lowered her head and said, "Really, my child licked it."

Just after being carried into the small garden by Banxia, ​​Baozhuzhu, who had been blamed for no reason, said: "......!!!"

Chen Long really put down the snacks.

Meng Qianqian took out a pack of fried fruit wrapped in oil paper from her purse and handed it to Chen Long: "This one is clean."

Chen Long looked at her coldly.

"I'm not lying to you, seriously." Meng Qianqian ate one herself. "It's crispy, sweet, and spicy. It's delicious!"

Chen Long didn't move.

Meng Qianqian looked at the sword tassel that was dropped by the wind on his shoulder again, and asked knowingly: "Who made the sword tassel for you? You have been wearing it all the time, so it must have been made by a very important person, right?"

That’s right, this important person is me, your younger sister!

Meng Qianqian had an expression that said "please praise me, please praise me".

Although she knew that he was praising the Xiaojiu of the past, not herself today.

Chen Long got up and left.

Meng Qianqian asked: "Why did you leave?"

Chen Long: "You are annoying."

"Xiaojiu, can you please let Daddy have some peace and quiet for a while?"

"Are you finding me annoying?"

"That's not what Dad meant..."

"Hmph, I'm going to find my brother!"

The fierce little kid went away angrily.

"Brother, brother! Xiaojiu wants to talk to you all day long! There are so many things!"

"Okay."

"Brother, don't find me annoying."

"Brother loves you so much that he can't wait to see you. He will never be annoyed by you. Xiao Jiu said, brother listen."

"Then I'll start talking!"

"Ah."

The boy touched the top of her head lovingly.

She kept talking and talking until she fell asleep sweetly in his arms.

The brother who would never find her annoying told her in person, "You are annoying."

Meng Qianqian clenched her fists.

I don't hurt my sister's brother ... but I want to be beaten!
Meng Qianqian's eyes flashed, she stepped onto the stone bench and jumped high.

Her target was the heavy sword on his back.

We didn't have a good fight last time, this time, let her see how much my brother has grown in these years!

She might not be strong enough to fight the other twelve guards, but unfortunately, just now, she remembered the weakness in her brother's moves.

Meng Qianqian curled the corners of her lips and fiercely reached out for the heavy sword at his back.

You can't avoid it, because you taught me this trick.

Chen Long did not dodge it.

He didn't hide at all.

He only felt a murderous aura coming from behind. Just as he was about to make a move, he heard a loud bang above his head, and then the murderous aura disappeared.

It turned out that Meng Qianqian used too much force, jumped over the top, and hit the roof of the pavilion directly.

Meng Qianqian stayed on the top for three breaths, then fell down with a crash, falling face down in front of Chen Long.

She raised a hand tremblingly: "Help me, help me."

Chen Long: “…”

A quarter of an hour later.

In the pavilion, Meng Qianqian's hands were wrapped in thick gauze, looking like two big dumplings.

Her forehead was also bruised, her eyes were red, her nose was sore, and she was sobbing.

"I just invited you to eat some fried fruit... but you didn't appreciate it... and you even said I was annoying... Wow... Now I'm broken... You people in the princess's mansion... are you going to bully us common people like this..."

Just now, in order to prove that he is not a scoundrel, Chen Long revealed his identity as a guard in the princess's mansion.

Chen Long frowned: "I didn't expect you to suddenly rush over."

Meng Qianqian whimpered and cried even louder: "You're hiding from me... and you still think you're right..."

Chen Long's temple throbbed: "You didn't break any bones."

Meng Qianqian looked hurt: "But my hand is swollen... or do you think I'm blackmailing you... oh... it's so unfair... wuah..."

Chen Long couldn't stand it any longer: "If you cry again, don't blame me for killing you!"

Meng Qianqian used the acting skills she learned from the old lady in the same way: "Kill me! Kill me! If you kill me, you will also touch me! We can't explain it to each other!"

"You asked me to pull you!"

"I asked you to marry me, will you marry me?"

"you--"

Meng Qianqian sniffed and said, "There is a way to clear both our innocence."

Chen Long: "What method?"

Meng Qianqian blinked: "Be my brother."
