Ye Zhen went to find Pei Shi. The mother and daughter talked for a long time. Ye Zhen originally wanted to test what Mrs Liu wanted to do before, to make Lu Jing go to her so gloatingly.
However, Pei Shi probably didn't want her to know too much. She didn't reveal a word to her, only saying that she and the old madam were in charge of everything and that she didn't have to worry.
What was she worried about? Ye Zhen didn't quite know what to worry about. In the end, she learned everything from Lu Xiangzhi's mouth. She was so angry that she regretted not making Mrs Liu vomit blood.
Marrying a waste like Liang Chun, who was not only a widower but also a catamite lover! How dare he say that she was a social climber? Bah! If she guessed correctly, it must be Lu Wushuang who gave the idea to Mrs Liu. Hehe, that woman is really vicious. Just because she met Mo Rongzhan in the palace, she wants to ruin her life.
"Brother, I can't let anyone interfere in my affairs. You must remember that." Ye Zhen grabbed Lu Xiangzhi's hand and said, thinking about how to keep Mrs Liu from meddling in her affairs again.
Lu Xiangzhi laughed, "Even if she wants to meddle, she can't. Not to mention our mother, there is still the old madam."
Ye Zhen knew very well that the old madam disagreed with Mrs Liu's practice now, not for any reason, but because the benefits of the Liang family were not enough to make her agree to the marriage. What if she changed to another one that was more beneficial to the Lu family?
She believed that the old madam would choose to use her marriage. No one would care about her preferences. She would not sacrifice herself for the Lu family anyway.
"Brother, I heard that Aunt wants to preside over the marriage?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.
Lu Xiangzhi frowned. "That also needs grandmother's consent. Isn't Aunt still sick?"
Ye Zhen smiled. Then let the illness last a little longer, so as not to cause more trouble.
In the blink of an eye, it was time to set off for the college. Ye Zhen returned to the house and sent Dai Mei out. She fiddled alone for a while before coming out.
She decided to visit Lu Fang.
"Second sister, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you a little." Ye Zhen walked into Lu Fang's room and looked at her with a smile, holding two bottles in her hand.
"Yao Yao, didn't you go to the academy and didn't come back?" Lu Fang-er was a bit surprised to see Ye Zhen.
Ye Rou smiled. "I had something to do two days ago, so I missed home today. I heard that you've been sick for the past few days. Are you alright?"
Lu Fang-er forced a smile. Thinking of the first madam's frequent visits to the third branch, her expression darkened. "I'm fine. I'm just in a bad mood and don't want to go out."
"Second sister should go out and meet more people, which is good for you." Ye Zhen said. She could guess why Lu Fang was in a bad mood. It was because of the marriage!
Lu Fang-er was already sixteen years old. If it were any other family's maiden, they would have long since settled their marriage. Previously, the Lu family had been busy helping Mo Rongzhan usurp the throne, and had neglected Lu Fang-er's marriage. Now that the Lu family had succeeded, they were starting to enjoy glory and splendor. But it wasn't easy for the maidens of their family to get married.
The true aristocratic families would not take a liking to girls who were born as merchants. Those who took a liking to the Lu Family had already fallen from grace. Old Madam Lu was unwilling as well.
Lu Fang-er's marriage was delayed again and again.
"When did I not want to go out? It was mother who let me go out." Lu Fang-er said faintly.
Ye Zhen looked at her and sighed softly. "Second sister, don't blame me for asking directly. Do you often go to greet aunt?"
Lu Fang-er said, "Mother had to rest before, so I didn't disturb her."
"But now aunt doesn't need to rest." Ye Zhen said with a smile. "She is always your mother."
The meaning of this sentence … Lu Fang-er was puzzled for a moment and understood. Liu Shi was her mother. Even if the old madam was making arrangements for her life, in the end, she still had to nod her head.
Seeing that she had understood, Ye Zhen's mouth curved up a little. "I have to go to college. This is the rose water I gave you. You can apply some on your face before going to bed every day. I made it when I was reading medical books in college."
"What's the use?" Lu Fang-er asked.
"It makes your face look rosier." Ye Zhen said with a smile. "I also gave grandmother two bottles."
Lu Fang-er's eyes lit up. "Okay, thank you."
Ye Zhen smiled. "Then I'll go."
"Yao Yao, you know mother … about the Liang family …" Lu Fang-er stopped Ye Zhen with a red face.
"I heard." Ye Zhen frowned. "I won't agree. I won't get engaged before I graduate."
Lu Fang-er immediately beamed with joy. "I'll see you out."
Ye Zhen's eyes flashed with sarcasm. "Well."
After sending Ye Zhen away, Lu Fang-er took two bottles of rose water and went to find Liu Shi.
Doctor Lu had just been driven out by the old madam and was in a gloomy mood. When she heard that her husband's concubine's daughter had come, her eyes were filled with disgust.
She knew what Lu Fang-er was most anxious about now. Hmph, she wanted to let Concubine Chen, that bitch, know that even if she was favored, so what? Now, didn't her daughter have to make her own decisions?
"Let the second miss in." Madam Lu said coldly.
Although her husband was dead, after so many years of indifference and alienation, she had no feelings for Lu Shifeng, only deep resentment. How could she let his most favored concubine live a good life?
Lu Fang-er came in with a smile. "Mother, I heard that mother is well, so I came to pay my respects to you."
"I'm going to recuperate tomorrow. You don't have to come to pay your respects." Madam Lu sneered and looked at Lu Fang-er's face. She looked delicate, but her whole body was full of pettiness.
"You are my mother, how can I not come to pay my respects?" Lu Fang-er said with a smile. She didn't know what Liu Shi wanted to do. Why did she always pretend to be sick? But she couldn't give up the marriage with the Liang family.
Madam Lu looked up at her, "What do you want from me?"
"Mother, this is rose water from overseas. After applying it, it can make people look younger. Although you are still beautiful, you can be more beautiful." Lu Fang-er said fawningly. She hoped that Liu Shi would take pity on her. As long as she became the Marquis's wife, she would not let her aunt suffer anymore.
Madam Lu took the two porcelain bottles and smiled. "You didn't get this rose water from overseas. Yaoyao gave it to you, right?"
It was the one that Lu Yaoyao gave to Old Madam Lu. She found that Old Madam Lu's face was much rosier recently, and she looked younger. Later, she found out that it was because of Lu Yaoyao.
Lu Fang-er looked at her awkwardly.
"I know what you want to say. Yaoyao doesn't want to marry into the Liang family. She has high standards. As for you, I don't dare to make the decision. If you really want to, let your aunt go to Old Madam Lu and ask for mercy. If Old Madam Lu agrees, I will make the decision for you." She felt that the Liang family was a Marquis. Since Lu Yaoyao didn't agree, then let Lu Fang-er marry into the Liang family. Maybe she could become a help to the Imperial Concubine in the future.
"Thank you, mother!" Lu Fang-er was instantly overjoyed.
