The Whole Family Went Crazy After Reading My Mind Chapter 85: Not Asking For It
If Lu Qingyan’s affair was confirmed by the royal family, it would be fine. If Lu Qingyan’s engagement was cancelled, it would be fine. But now, not only has the engagement not been cancelled, but Lu Qingyan’s affair with the second prince is still under investigation. The Lin family is just trying to guess the Emperor’s intentions and the Crown Prince’s intentions. They simply don’t take the royal family seriously.
This, this, this, bringing out something that everyone knows really has a different flavor.
Mrs. Lin’s face darkened, and she immediately thought of an excuse to make amends. “I admit that I did not write the invitation alone. My daughter and son helped me. Mrs. Ji really wronged us about holding the banquet in advance. It was really because I had the free time these two days.”
She didn’t dare hold it around the Queen’s birthday.
Madam Ji was waiting for this sentence, and the smile on her face deepened: “Oh? Since all three of them wrote it down, it’s inevitable that Madam Lin didn’t remember it, right? What do you think, Madam Lin?”
Mrs. Lin was so angry that she almost died. She just said that Mrs. Ji was just so-so, but in the blink of an eye, she blocked her way and turned the situation around without any effort.
At this moment, if she didn’t admit that she remembered it wrongly, she would have to prove her villainy and deliberately embarrassed the Lu family. Damn it, if she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have said that she wrote it herself, letting Madam Ji take advantage of it. She didn’t think so much just to humiliate the Lu family.
At this moment, if she didn’t admit that she remembered it wrong, she would have to commit the villainous act of deliberately embarrassing the Lu family. Damn it, if I had known earlier I wouldn’t have said it was written by myself, allowing Mrs. Ji to take advantage of the loophole. Just to humiliate the Lu family, she didn’t think so much.
Faced with the aggressive Marquis, she had no choice but to admit that she had made a mistake. She also apologized to the Lu family in public. If she didn’t apologize, it would be like guessing the Emperor’s intentions. The Lin family couldn’t bear this accusation.
But it doesn’t matter, she achieved her goal, didn’t she? Who would care about this little episode, the focus is on Lu Qingyan’s night meeting with the Second prince.
“I was confused. Once people get busy, they tend to forget things. I hope Mrs. Lu doesn’t mind.” Mrs. Lin smiled embarrassedly.
Madam Lu was furious. “She even made a mistake in remembering such an important matter. It seems that Madam Lin is really senile. Since she is senile, I will not invite the Lin family to the wedding of my daughter and the Crown prince in the future. Otherwise, Madam Lin will lose face for my Lu family because of her senility.”
Ji Hua’s giggle made Mrs. Lin’s face darker.
[I didn’t expect that Mrs. Lu is not only vicious, but also holds grudges. ]
The Lu family won a small victory this time.
Madam Lin suppressed her anger. Humph, you still want to marry the Crown prince? Are you dreaming? Madam Lin glanced at Lin Qinglan next to her.
At this moment, someone shouted: “The Crown prince is here!”
Not far away, the Crown prince in a silver dragon robe strode over, followed by a personal servant holding a rectangular tray. There were also two guards escorting a woman.
Master Lin, who was greeting a group of officials, walked over quickly to greet them.
“Sorry, Master, I’m late.” The Crown prince bowed to Master Lin.
“It’s not too late, it’s not too late. Your Highness’s coming has brought honor to the Lin Mansion.” Just as Master Lin was about to invite the Crown prince to sit down, he saw the woman being escorted behind him.
“Your Highness, what is this?”
The Crown prince seemed to have just remembered that there was a woman, and he slapped his forehead in embarrassment. “Oh, look at my memory, it’s like this, when I passed by the Prime Minister’s residence, I saw this woman sneaking around, and thought she was a thief, so I caught her. I happened to know that the Prime Minister was also here, so I brought her here.”
The official twitched his mouth. Is this woman just a thief as the Crown prince said? If she was a thief, why did they mobilize so many troops to catch her in the Lin Mansion?
You know, today is the birthday party of the daughter of the Lin family. If you do this, wouldn’t that be causing trouble for the Lin family?
Look, there is blood at the corner of the woman’s mouth. Isn’t this too unlucky?
“Where is Prime Minister Lu?”
“I’m here.” Prime Minister Lu was standing next to Lord Ji. When he heard the Crown prince calling him, he hurried forward.
Before the Crown prince could say anything else, the woman kneeling on the ground immediately cried, “Master, I am the maidservant of the fourth young lady, not a thief.”
The Crown prince pretended to be surprised and said, “Oh, so you are a maid from the Lu Mansion? Then why did I see you sneaking around in the backyard of the Prime Minister’s Mansion just now?”
“Because, because, this slave is, burying clothes.” The maidservant put her head to the ground, her body trembling.
On the way here, the Crown prince had already told her what to say, so she just had to do it. This way, she could still survive.
After hearing this, Prime Minister Lu glared at her fiercely: “You, tell me clearly, what are you burying?” He didn’t understand why the Crown prince brought this matter to the Lin Mansion. There were so many people here today. What if something happened?
Wait, could this be related to the rumors?
[Has the Crown prince arrived? Why can’t I see him? What are so many people doing around here?]
Ji Hua stretched her neck to look, and caught a glimpse of a small figure running towards her. It was Bei Hengjin.
My goodness, she didn’t even notice when this guy came in.
“Sister Hua’er, sister Hua’er. I finally see you again.” Bei Hengjin ran over happily and shook Ji Hua’s little feet.
Ji Hua chuckled at him.
But she was muttering in her heart:
[Come on, and you’re so enthusiastic. If people don’t know, they’d think we were engaged. ]
Bei Hengjin’s eyebrows moved, it seemed to make some sense.
Madam Lin saw the palace servant holding a tray standing nearby from a distance, and she pulled Lin Qinglan over with a smile. “Lan’er, look, let me guess, the tray in the palace servant’s hand must contain the coming-of-age gift from the Crown prince. Your father was the prince’s tutor when he was young, so the relationship between you two is different.”
Many noble ladies nearby heard what Mrs. Lin said and began to flatter her.
Lin Qinglan immediately put on a shy look like a little girl: “Mother, what are you talking about?” She was going to act out the scene where Lu Qingyan pushed her into the water, so that the Crown prince could see clearly what kind of person Lu Qingyan was.
“Mother, what happened just now might have angered Miss Lu. I will personally bring some tea and apologize.”
“My daughter of the Lin family is really sensible. Go!” Mrs. Lin smiled and watched Lin Qinglan walk towards the water pavilion.
Lu Qingyan twisted her handkerchief tightly, and Duanmu Yi comforted her: “Don’t worry, the Crown prince won’t believe those rumors.”
Lu Qingyan thought that the tray must contain the coming-of-age gift for Lin Qinglan, which meant that he had believed the rumors.
Thinking of this, Lu Qingyan couldn’t help but have tears in her eyes.
Lu Shixue hid in the corner and did not show up until the Crown prince arrived. Then she walked towards Lu Qingyan.
“Sister, what’s wrong with you?” Lu Shixue saw that Lu Qingyan’s eyes were red, and pretended to care about her.
Lu Qingyan ignored her. Whether Lu Shixue did it or not, she would only know after she went back to investigate. Right now, she was just guessing and had no way to deal with her.
Lu Shixue continued to comfort Lu Qingyan in a neither loud nor soft voice: “Sister, don’t be sad. If it’s not yours, you can’t force it. In fact, marrying the second prince is not bad. The second prince will come sooner or later…”
Mrs. Lu gave Lu Shixue a fierce look. This tactless thing, didn’t she know how much disaster this remark would bring to the Lu family.
Madam Ji didn’t even glance at Lu Shixue. She just looked at her as a clown.
Ji Hua looked at her twice more.
[She has curved eyebrows and looks very pitiful, which can arouse men’s desire to protect her. ]
Bei Hengjin also followed Ji Hua’s gaze and glanced at Lu Shixue, and immediately exclaimed: “Oh, this sister’s forehead is black, there may be a bloody disaster.”
Ji Hua was amused by Bei Hengjin’s words. How could the people around care about what a child said? Bei Hengjin was a prince, so Lu Shixue didn’t dare to say anything? She just smiled awkwardly.
Madam Ji praised: “I didn’t expect that the young prince could read faces, how amazing!”
Being praised by his sister Hua’er’s mother, Bei Hengjin looked extremely happy.
“Hehe, there’s something even more amazing. Not only can I see that she will have a bloody disaster, I can also predict that it will come true soon.”
Ji Hua opened her mouth in surprise.
[Could it be that the brat knows something? Considering how close he is to the Crown prince, it is possible. It seems that the Crown prince has found the key evidence.]
Just when Ji Hua was guessing excitedly, an angry roar suddenly came from the front: “Someone, bring the Fourth Miss here.” This was the voice of Prime Minister Lu.
Lin Qinglan, who had just walked onto the water pavilion, was stunned.
