367. Chapter 367 Taking Responsibility


He nodded: "Then I'll follow uncle's advice."

Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Wen both breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts when Li Heng walked down the steps given by Lu Sen.

Because Lu Pingting wanted to marry into the East Palace, and Lu Sen, as her father, did not object. Although Empress Lu often complained about Lu Sen, in the end they were biological siblings and did not arrive. The level of feuding is different with Li Heng, the prince's nephew.

Over time, both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law understood.

If their Rongrong really marries Li Shou, then His Highness will definitely turn against the Lu family.

The first person to bear the brunt was Lu Sen, the uncle.

As for the incompetent Lu Luo, in His Highness's eyes, the marriage is probably of no more use than this.

But I understand that I understand that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law don't think there is anything wrong with this. It is best for the second son (second uncle) to marry a young lady from the Xiang family.

After the matter was settled and the goal was achieved, Li Heng sat for half a cup of tea before leaving the Lu Mansion and returning to the palace.

On the way, Shimo asked Li Heng: "Your Highness, do you think Mr. Lu can really persuade Uncle Xiaoguo?"

Mr. Lu refers to Lu Sen, and uncle Xiaoguo refers to Lu Sen.

“Without my aunt’s words, I might still be worried that my eldest uncle would not be able to talk to my second uncle, but with what my eldest aunt said, I don’t worry anymore.” Li Heng understood very well. Regarding Lu Sen's psychology, he was really angry at Wen's words at first, but after Lu Sen agreed and promised to get things done, he wasn't angry at all.

Even now, he was still a little grateful for Wen's mindless words.

Mr. Wen did not say anything wrong. He would have to work hard to persuade his eldest uncle to mention the Xiang Mansion connection to his second uncle, and to persuade his second uncle to attend the flower viewing banquet at Prince Jing’s Mansion tomorrow. .

Looking at it from another angle, my aunt was assisting him.

In order for the eldest uncle to clean up the mess for the eldest aunt, no matter how reluctant the second uncle is, he will definitely let the eldest uncle pack it up and send it to Prince Jing's Mansion for a banquet tomorrow.

As soon as Li Heng left, Mrs. Lu told Lu Sen: "I have met the Sixth Miss of the Xiang Mansion once. She is good-looking and a good girl. You must tell Erlang carefully about this. We are so close, we must give way to each other If Lang performs well at the lotus banquet tomorrow, he will make Miss Xiang Liu even more determined."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wen wanted to talk, but her words stopped midway through. Let her swallow it back.

“What do you want to say?” Mrs. Lu didn’t see her eldest son speak. Instead, she saw her eldest daughter-in-law open her mouth first, then close her mouth again, which made her anxious, “Say it now. There is no one else around.”

As a family, we can say whatever we want behind closed doors.

It doesn't matter if you say it's wrong.

Ms. Wen obediently said what she wanted to say again: "Mother, what my daughter-in-law wants to say is that the second uncle's temperament has to be improved step by step. If you act too hastily, you will give up the second uncle's rebellious temper. If you provoke them, don't talk about your marriage to Xiang Mansion. , even if it’s the lotus banquet tomorrow, I’m afraid the second uncle won’t go even if he’s dead.”

“Why don’t you die?” Old Mrs. Lu listened the most to her second son. The word "death" is not allowed. When the eldest daughter-in-law mentioned the word "death", she immediately frowned.

"Bah, bah, bah." Mrs. Wen knew what Mrs. Lu was taboo about, so when she accidentally said it, she quickly said it obediently three times.

Old Mrs. Lu was satisfied and turned to Lu Sen, who had not answered her: "You think it's okay?"

"Son, try your best." As usual, Lu Sen would first comply with any of his mother's requests.

After leaving Chongbai Courtyard, Lu Sen and Wen first returned to the couple’s Chengyu Courtyard. After washing, eating, eating and drinking, he went to Lu Luo's Renxiao Courtyard feeling refreshed.

After Lu Luocong heard that Li Heng came to the house specifically to find Lu Sen, he had been waiting in his courtyard.

After he had also washed and eaten, he was wearing a sky-blue robe and leaning on the Arhat couch in Xianhui Hall, eating melons and fruits one after another.

Naishe was waiting beside him as always, but Naye was still not there.

Lu Sen stepped into the Xianhui Hall, and Ju An stood guard outside the door. Soon Naishe also withdrew, and stood on the corridor with Ju An on each side.

"You are free." Lu Sen sat down on the other side of the Luohan couch, picked up the prepared tea bowl and took a sip, it was still warm, "Did you know I was coming?"
< br>Lu Luo smiled : "You guessed it. Did I guess it?"

"You, you." Lu Sen really couldn't do anything with Lu Luo, a young brother, "Then guess again, what is the reason for me? ?”

"What's related to me is also related to His Highness..." Lu Luo paused and did not pretend to think, but said truthfully, "Actually, I was thinking about this question before eldest brother came, but I didn't expect the answer. After all, I am so useless, I really can’t think of anything else that would please His Highness.”

“Your marriage,” Lu Sen said directly and concisely what Li Heng was today. The purpose of coming," His Highness thought Let you marry the sixth lady of the Xiang family."

Speaking of Xiang Zheng, he remembered another related incident: "Miss Qiao's accidental drowning in Bixu Manor before, you and Xiang Liu were there. The ladies are all here, right?”< br>
"They are all here." Lu Sen replied, "It is impossible for me and her. Brother, just go back to His Highness."

"His Highness also wants you to go to Prince Jing's Mansion tomorrow..."

"No!"

Before Lu Sen finished speaking, Lu Luo had firmly refused.

"I don't have a problem with you not wanting to marry Miss Xiang Liu." Lu Sen put down the tea bowl in his hand, "But you have to go to Prince Jing's Mansion tomorrow."

"Why do you have to go? Lu Luo asked impatiently.

Lu Sen replied: "The relationship should never be too tense."

As soon as he said this, Lu Luo did not refuse outright, but he also did not agree. He fell silent.

“Princess Yanhua’s lotus banquet has always been attended by noble ladies, and no young master from any mansion has ever attended. You go tomorrow and let Rongrong take you there.” Lu Sen Seeing that Lu Luo didn't object anymore, he continued, "I know you don't want to , then go and deal with it."

"Brother, are there going to be a lot more things like this that need to be dealt with in the future?" Lu Luo finally looked at the tiredness that couldn't be washed away from Lu Sen's face. I didn't have the heart to refuse, so I just asked a question.

"Your surname is Lu. Since you were born, you have enjoyed the glory and wealth that the surname Lu has brought to you. Correspondingly, you must also bear the responsibilities that the surname Lu has brought to you." Lu Sen's words were serious and thoughtful. This was the first time he told his younger brother about the responsibilities he should bear as a descendant of the Lu family, "You are sixteen. In a few years, you will be crowned. Big brother can’t protect you under his wings all your life. You have to feel, face, and resolve some storms by yourself, step by step, and walk steadily. Only then can he truly grow up and become a man of integrity."

Lu Luo fell into silence again.

When he spoke again, he nodded: "Okay, I'll go."
