Lu Lingzhi was extremely opposed to Old Madam Lu's decision to find the abbot of Huguo Temple to calculate Yao Yao's horoscope. He couldn't say why he was so resistant, but he felt that the result of this was certainly not what he wanted to see.
However, he seemed to be unable to stop the old madam's decision.
Seeing that the old madam and Tang Zhen had already discussed it, Lu Lingzhi didn't even have a chance to interrupt.
After sending Tang Zhen away, Lu Lingzhi returned to find Old Madam Lu. "Grandmother, why do you want to calculate Yao Yao's horoscope?"
"If I don't calculate it, I won't feel at ease in my heart. Yao Yao's marriage has not gone smoothly. Originally, she was almost settled with Marquis Jingning, but the emperor … I thought that Yao Yao would be able to enter the palace after returning from Zhao Island, but the emperor decided to appoint a marriage for her. Alas, I don't ask Yao Yao to be the mother of the country. I just want to find a good son-in-law for her. Today, I just went to the Wu Family and there were so many twists and turns. I'm really worried."
Old Madam Lu said. Lu Lingzhi hoped that Ye Zhen's marriage would not go smoothly. "Grandmother, Yao Yao is still young. Don't worry. Are you willing to marry her?"
"If I can't, can I keep her and not marry her?" Old Madam Lu said helplessly. "Now, take your time to find a suitable candidate. Yao Yao can't get married until she is at least seventeen years old."
"Grandmother, why are you in such a hurry? Today, you took Yao Yao to the Wu Family. Fortunately, Yao Yao is fine." Lu Lingzhi said. As long as Yao Yao was still at home, he would have a chance.
Speaking of what happened to the Wu Family, Old Madam Lu was furious. "I don't have to deal with the Wu Family in the future. They only promised to let Jing 'er be Wu Congmin's concubine. I will not agree in any case."
"Why should the daughter of our Lu Family be someone else's concubine?!" Lu Lingzhi snorted coldly. "Send Jing 'er to Jinkou City in a few days and let Second Uncle and Second Aunt decide a marriage for her."
Old Madam Lu sighed sorrowfully. Her few granddaughters had originally thought that Shuang 'er was the luckiest, but in the end, she ended up as a beauty with a short life. Fang' er, who insisted on marrying into the Liang Clan, must be living a very difficult life now. As for Yao 'er … there was no need to talk about it. After so many twists and turns, she had yet to find a suitable marriage. Today, it was Jing' er's turn to meet with misfortune. It was really …
"I really don't know what sin our family has committed. It has not been smooth sailing for the past two years." Old Madam Lu sighed.
"Grandmother, don't worry. Everything will pass." Lu Lingzhi comforted the old lady in a low voice.
Old Madam Lu smiled. "Yes, it will pass."
"Grandmother, Yaoyao …" Lu Lingzhi hesitated to speak, wanting to reveal Yaoyao's background. However, given the current situation of the Lu clan, if the old madam found out that Yaoyao was not third uncle's biological daughter, would she feel that she had harmed the Lu clan?
What he wanted was for Old Madam to happily accept Yaoyao as her eldest granddaughter-in-law, not for her to resent Yaoyao.
Old Madam Lu looked at him. "What happened to Yaoyao?"
"It's nothing." Lu Lingzhi smiled and shook his head. He couldn't say it for the time being. Only when Yaoyao accepted him could he tell her about her background.
"Have you been to the Liang family?" Old Madam Lu asked.
Lu Lingzhi nodded. "I have been there and told Liang Chun. Grandmother, with our Lu family here, no matter what Liang Chun does, he will not dare to go too far with Fang 'er."
"What's the use of not going too far with Fang 'er? The most important thing between husband and wife is harmony and beauty. Liang Chun, he … Sigh, your mother is really sinful. "Old Madam Lu was full of anger when she mentioned Liu Shi.
"Grandmother, the children and grandchildren have their own happiness. It was Fang 'er's own choice at the beginning. You also stopped her." Lu Lingzhi persuaded.
Old Madam Lu sighed. "Go and write to your second uncle about Jing 'er today and see what he thinks."
"Yes, grandmother." Lu Lingzhi nodded gently and accompanied the old madam to talk about some interesting things before leaving the upper room.

After Ye Zhen left Lu Jing's place, she went to find Pei Shi. She was going to live in Chengde Villa for a few days, so she must tell Pei Shi.
Pei Shi was unhappy because of Lu Jing's affairs today. When she saw her daughter coming, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Her daughter used to be like a wild girl, which made her worry. Now that her daughter had grown up to be a beauty that could topple a city, it was equally worrying.
"It's good for you to leave the capital for a few days, so that people won't gossip about you." Pei Shi said angrily.
Ye Zhen smiled and took Pei Shi's hand. "Mother, why don't you come with me to the hot spring villa for a few days?"
"Everyone in the family is busy. How can I leave?" Pei Shi sighed. She used to live a leisurely life in the Border Town. There were not so many things to worry about at all. The old madam refused to hand over the family affairs to Liu Shi, so she could only temporarily manage the family for the old madam.
"Mother, are we not going back to the Border Town in the future?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice. In fact, she really felt that life in the Border Town was much easier than here.
Pei Shi's face was a little sad. "I want to go back, but your father and brother have already entered the court as officials. How can they go back to the Border Town?"
Yes, Lu Shiming was no longer the ambitious man who ran away from home. Lu Xiangzhi was still this year's Tanhua rank. As long as nothing went wrong, there was no need to worry about his future. It was a bit pretentious to say that they would go back to the Border Town.
"Mother, what did the Wu family say?" Ye Zhen knew that this was what worried Pei Shi the most now.
Pei Shi's face was filled with anger. "Old Madam Wu actually said that she wants Jing 'er to be her grandson's concubine. How is this possible! Even if Jing 'er is a concubine, there is no reason for her to be a concubine. "
Wasn't Lu Wushuang a concubine? Ye Zhen said this silently in her heart. "It's just that she fell into the water and was saved by Wu Congmin. In the end, it's nothing. As long as a few days pass, people will naturally forget about it."
"I hope so, but Old Madam Wu wants to send Jing 'er to Jinkou City." Pei Shi whispered, "Let Second Uncle make the decision."
Ye Zhen knew what the Wu family was thinking. They must think that Lu Jing was the daughter of a merchant and a concubine. She was not worthy of their second young master at all. They felt that Wu Congmin was wronged by giving Lu Jing the position of a concubine.
"Mother, this is the right thing to do. Jing 'er's affairs can't be blamed on anyone. It's best to let Second Uncle decide." Ye Zhen said.
Pei Shi touched her head. "You have to go to Chengde Villa tomorrow morning. Go back and rest early."
"Yes, mother!" Ye Zhen smiled sweetly. Thinking of going to Chengde Villa for a few days of peace, she suddenly felt looking forward to it.
"Your brother should be back soon. You should meet him. Today, he should have heard about the incident. He must be worried about you." Pei Shi smiled.
Ye Zhen smiled and agreed.
