Chapter 265 Just for Beauty
Lu Zhong stared at Mrs. Lu, waiting for her to come forward and beg him to let Lu Zhenyu go.
After hearing what Lu Zhong said, Lu Zhenyu allowed the guards to come forward and grab him, and then let them tie him up.
Mrs. Lu looked calm, as if everything had nothing to do with her. Even when she saw Lu Zhenyu being tied up, she remained calm.
Noticing that Lu Zhong was staring at her, Mrs. Lu clenched her hands slightly in her sleeves.
When her eyes met Lu Zhong's, Mrs. Lu's lips gradually curled up. She nodded at Lu Zhong and turned to leave.
After being married for many years, how could Mrs. Lu not know what Lu Zhong was thinking? Even with just one look from him, she knew what he wanted to do.
Did Lu Zhong want to wait for me to come forward and beg for mercy? Did he want to be imprisoned along with me for being a bad parent?
After years of sleeping in the same bed together, he still didn't understand himself, and he didn't know that she was never as stupid as she acted.
Seeing that the matter at the Prime Minister's Mansion was over, Ling Qiong looked at Lu Zhong meaningfully and quickly returned to Yuxuan Courtyard.
She narrated everything that happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Shen Jingxuan couldn't help but praise Mrs. Lu for her intelligence.
Being able to make a decision in such a short time, I think she had already done so before she got married, but Lu Zhong just didn't understand it.
Things in the Prime Minister's Mansion have already come to this point. Even if there is more trouble, it won't cause any waves.
Shen Jingxuan and Xie Lingxiao only sent people to keep an eye on the Prime Minister's Mansion and continued to do their own things.
Time flies, and it is the end of the year in a blink of an eye. Every household becomes busy.
Perhaps because the Prime Minister's Mansion had become quiet and nothing happened in the Prince's Mansion, Shen Jingxuan also became free during this period and spent some leisurely days in the mansion.
As the end of the year approaches, Lu Changfan comes to Yuxuan Courtyard to bid farewell to Shen Jingxuan.
Looking at the thinner person in front of him, Shen Jingxuan said, "As expected, the power of love is the greatest. It makes our young marquis give up delicious food just for beauty?"
Lu Changfan blushed and said, "Ah Xuan, stop teasing me."
Speaking of Chen Yi, Lu Changfan's expression gradually softened. He hadn't seen her for several months.
I wonder if Chen Yi will recognize him when they meet again.
Shen Jingxuan looked at the thin man with distinct facial features in front of her and couldn't help but shake her head secretly.
"Don't worry, Yi'er will definitely recognize you. I just don't know if he will be angry if he hasn't seen you looking for him for such a long time."
Lu Changfan asked nervously, "No way?"
He worked hard for several months for the agreement between the two of them. If Chen Yi knew about this, she should be happy.
Shen Jingxuan patted Lu Changfan on the shoulder: "I wish you good luck."
She knew Chen Yi's personality very well. Even though she would be happy about Lu Changfan's efforts, she would also be secretly angry because of his deliberate concealment.
Hearing Shen Jingxuan's words, Lu Changfan became even more nervous.
He did not stay in Yuxuan Courtyard for long and left the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion quickly.
Shen Jingxuan shook her head and laughed. She didn't need to guess too much to know that Lu Changfan was in a hurry to find Chen Yi.
Xie Lingxiao stood outside Yuxuan Courtyard, and seeing Shen Jingxuan's laughing expression, he asked, "Xuan'er, why are you so happy?"
"Are you ready to go home?" Shen Jingxuan asked instead of answering.
Ever since Lu Changfan moved into Yulin Courtyard, Xie Lingxiao also moved there.
He stays at home every day, and apart from playing chess with Old Man Shen, he stays around me.
The New Year's Day is just a few days away, and the Regent's Palace will be busy.
The moment she saw Xie Lingxiao, Shen Jingxuan knew that he was finally willing to return to the palace.
"Yeah." Xie Lingxiao responded.
At this moment, he couldn't say whether he was happy or not.
After leaving the Duke Zhenguo Mansion, he would not be able to be with Shen Jingxuan every day.
But the New Year is approaching, and when the new year comes, it will also mean that the day of his wedding with Shen Jingxuan will be approaching.
Thinking of this, Xie Lingxiao raised the corners of his lips and looked at Shen Jingxuan with a gentle expression.
Whether he returns home or not, he should also prepare for their wedding in advance to avoid some details being neglected when the time comes.
He didn't want that to happen, nor did he want to wrong his princess because of it.
Shen Jingxuan said: "I'll take you there?"
"Okay, let's go to grandpa and grandma first."
Xie Lingxiao and Shen Jingxuan walked side by side on the road until they arrived at Fufeng Courtyard, and neither of them spoke a word.
When Mr. Shen heard the purpose of Xie Lingxiao's visit, he looked reluctant.
These days, with Xie Lingxiao playing chess with him, he realized later that time had passed really quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it is already the New Year.
Mr. Shen said, "It's good to go back. After all, the palace can't do without you."
Xie Lingxiao's identity is there, and there are so many things that need him to deal with.
It was a rare opportunity that he could stay with her at home these days, so he shouldn't force it.
Madam Shen glanced at him and said, "Why not let Xiao have lunch before leaving?"
Mr. Shen's eyes lit up: "Okay."
"Xuan'er, go and prepare lunch for the family."
Xie Lingxiao saw that he was staring at him and knew what he was thinking.
"Grandfather, why don't you let Xiao'er play a few games of chess with you?"
"Okay." Mr. Shen responded quickly.
I have to say that Mr. Shen is really good at playing chess. Even he can hardly bear it.
But Mr. Shen is the elder and Shen Jingxuan's grandfather. Not only can he not win, even if he loses, he can't lose more chess pieces.
Because of this incident, he really had a headache for a long time.
Xie Lingxiao did not leave the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion until after lunch, under the reluctant gaze of Mr. Shen.
The mansion gradually became busy as the New Year approached.
Shen Jingxuan went to Hao's yard every day to help her deal with matters at home, and was also dragged by Hao to discuss things that needed to be purchased for the New Year.
After being busy for several days, Shen Jingxuan finally took a break and lay on the couch, not wanting to move.
Chun Tao said, "Miss, it's a good thing that Madam asked you to learn how to manage the household."
"Besides, in a few months, you will be getting married to the prince, and you will also be in charge of the palace."
Shen Jingxuan turned her back to her and said, "If you say anything more, I will kick you out."
She also knew about this, but she really didn't know how to manage such a huge palace.
Ling Huan came to the room: "Miss, Miss Jiang is here, and..."
"And Lu Changfan."
Shen Jingxuan stood up suddenly: "Didn't he leave early in the morning? Why is he back so soon?"
As soon as she walked out of the yard, she saw Jiang Shaoying and Lu Changfan coming towards her.
"Why are you here together?"
Jiang Shaoying said: "Ah Xuan, I met Chang Fan outside the courtyard gate."
When she saw Lu Changfan just now, she almost didn't recognize him.
I didn't expect that Lu Changfan had changed so much after not seeing him for such a long time. Looking at his tall figure and clear facial features, Jiang Shaoying was a little uncomfortable for a moment.
Lu Changfan said aggrievedly: "Ah Xuan, Yi'er ignored me, I went to Chen's house to look for her, and the doorman sent a message back saying that Chen Yi didn't want to see me."
His heart, which was so excited about the possibility of seeing Chen Yi, seemed to be poured over by a basin of cold water, and instantly fell to the bottom.
"How difficult is that? Just wait for me to give you some advice."
Jiang Shaoying pushed Lu Changfan aside and pulled Shen Jingxuan out.
