Chapter 183: Chapter 183

"Ma'am, no matter it's a rumor or not, we shouldn't be in this muddy water anymore. By then, don't eat the meat and you'll be messed up. This matter is the fault of the Jinyuan uncle's house. Madam just doesn't care about it anymore." , Mrs. Jin Yuanbo will not blame Madam."

Mrs. Wang thought for a while, and said: "Yes, then go to Lu's house and explain clearly to Mrs. Lu."

She is really wronged.

Compared with the last time she came to the Lu residence, Mrs. Wang obviously felt that Mrs. Lu's attitude had become colder this time. If it wasn't because her husband was the Minister of Dali Temple, Mrs. Lu probably wouldn't even let her in.

Smiling faces in every possible way, or not, Mrs. Wang just felt that her mouth was worn out, so she couldn't force the old lady to believe that she really didn't know about it at the beginning.

Originally, the Marquis of Jinyuan gave up this marriage because of their guilty conscience, but fortunately only Mrs. Wang came to the door to mention it, and the two families have never married, so there is no impact.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, General Shen's wife sent an invitation to the old lady, inviting her to take Lu Xiang and Lu Qiao to play in Shen's mansion.

The old lady looked at the post in her hand, the creases on her face were almost twisted into knots, and she kept thinking about the intention of Mrs. Shen's move.

Mrs. Shen's husband is General Weiyuan, and it was her son, Shen Chi, known as General Xiao Shen, who escorted the concubine back to Yangning City.

"Mother Wen, why am I panicking?"

If this were different from normal times, it would be a good thing for Mrs. Shen to invite her, but the Zhang family's affairs are causing a lot of trouble in the city, and the old lady is now a little bit like an enemy.

Mother Wen: "Why don't you refuse?"

The old lady shook her head: "It's not good either. The Shen family is a prominent family in Beijing. If you don't go, you will hit Mrs. Shen in the face. It doesn't matter to me as an old woman. I can avoid trouble by staying in the back house, but after Xiangxiang and Qiao'er It will be difficult to gain a foothold among the noble ladies in the capital."

Although there are differences between concubines and concubines, concubines also have their own social circles.

You can't ask your granddaughter to be excluded.

"Send the post to Miss San and Miss Six. Mrs. Shen's invitation can't refute her face."

"Yes." Mother Wen replied, and sent the posts to Qixia Courtyard and Haitang Courtyard respectively.

The next day, the old lady took Lu Xiang and Lu Qiao to Shen's house.

The mansion is black and white, green boards, vermilion columns, and carved railings are engraved with complicated begonia patterns.

Mrs. Shen received the three old ladies in the main hall.

The purple-gold incense burner on the table was made in the shape of an exquisite little animal, and the incense it exhaled was watery and woody, which smelled particularly refreshing.

"Old lady Lu is well." Madam Shen greeted her with a smile, saluted the old lady, and said.

"Mrs. Shen is well."

Lu Xiang and Lu Qiao greeted Mrs. Shen: "Mrs. Shen is auspicious."

"Okay, okay, please sit down." Mrs. Shen nodded with a smile, and then said to Shen Pin who was beside her: "Pin'er, come and meet Mrs. Lu."

Shen Pin was wearing a light red cross-collar skirt embroidered with jasmine, and a complete set of tortoiseshell headgear on his head.

"I met Mrs. Lu."

Then he sat beside Mrs. Shen.

Lu Qiao sat down nervously, with her head slightly lowered, not daring to look casually, for fear that Madam Shen would look down on her not doing well enough.

Lu Xiang never understood the purpose of Mrs. Shen's sudden invitation to them, but her expression was very indifferent, holding a teacup and sipping, waiting for Mrs. Shen to speak.

Mrs. Shen exchanged a few words with the old lady before getting to the point.

"Lady Lu, to be honest, I invited you here today because Mrs. Jinyuan was dragging me to explain to you the rumors that have spread in the capital recently. She is my sister in the boudoir. Although she has no blood relationship, she is better than a real sister. I also She has always treated her children as her own. Miss Lu San is gentle and virtuous, and it is Xiaowen's blessing that the Zhang family can marry you."

The old lady was startled suddenly, and looked at Mrs. Shen blankly: "Mrs. Shen, this...Xiangxiang is young and not calm enough, I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to be the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family."

Even Lu Xiang was a little surprised.

Madam Shen called them here because of the Zhang family's marriage?
The relationship between officials and family members in the capital is really unpredictable.

Shen Pin and Song Zhenzhen are on good terms, and Uncle Jinyuan's mansion is attached to Concubine Shu to stand behind the second prince, but Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Uncle Jinyuan still have a very good relationship with each other.

Sure enough, it's the Zhang family's style of doing things. If you don't want others to know, you can always hide it.

Lu Qiao quickly glanced at Lu Xiang, then lowered her head quietly.

The news about Zhang Xiaowen was spread all over the capital, so she naturally heard about it in the mansion. Hearing what Madam Shen said, why did the Zhang family come to propose marriage to the third sister?
Grandma never told my father.

The marriage in the Earl's Mansion is also the best, but Zhang Xiaowen is said to be a fool, so who will marry him?

Grandmother has always loved Third Sister, how could she agree.

"I understand the old lady's concerns. There have been rumors outside recently, which is extremely detrimental to the Jinyuan uncle's mansion. Anyone with a discerning eye will know that it is a political opponent's malicious rumors. The old lady doesn't need to pay attention to it."

"This..." The old lady frowned, thinking how to refuse so as not to refute Mrs. Shen's face.

According to Mrs. Shen, the Zhang family must marry Lu Xiang?
Even if the political opponents deliberately smeared it, the old lady didn't want to climb this high branch.

Who knows what other messy problems will come out after entering Zhang's house in the future.

Lu Xiang was angry, her white teeth were clenched on her lips, and her eyes were dark.

At this moment, Mrs. Shen suddenly said: "Xiaowen, come and see Mrs. Lu and Miss Lu."

Lu Xiang was taken aback, Zhang Xiaowen is here?
As soon as Mrs. Shen finished speaking, a handsome young man came out from the inner room.He was wearing a blue brocade robe, with a jasper ring hanging around his waist. He was tall and slender, with a handsome appearance, with a slight smile in his eyes, and his movements were calm and elegant, looking forward to God.

He looked at the crowd with a smile, paused for a moment while looking at Lu Xiang, his smile deepened, then bowed to Madam Shen and said, "Nephew has seen aunt."

The old lady looked at the young man in front of her with surprise in her eyes, is this Zhang Xiaowen?
So those rumors from the outside world are not true.

"The younger generation has met Mrs. Lu."

He smiled and nodded to Lu Xiang and Lu Qiao to say hello.

Lu Qiao looked at the young man in a daze. Is this the Zhang family's idiot?
You must be deceiving, he is obviously a gentle and elegant Mr. Pian Pianjia.

Lu Xiang narrowed her eyes, and there was a deep sense of coldness hidden deep in her eyes.

Ah--

What a Li Daitao stiff.

The Zhang family had a good idea, they found someone else to replace their son, asked Mrs. Shen to bring it out for the grandmother to meet her, and dispelled the rumor that Zhang Xiaowen was a fool.
