Chapter 217 You are more elegant
The light of torches and lanterns inside and outside the courtyard illuminated Jiang's leaving figure, but Lu Jia's eyes, which were staring at all this in the room, were as dark as an abyss.
Jiang's marriage into the Lu family was arranged by the Yan family. She had been domineering in the Lu family for so many years, and the Yan family who supported her behind the scenes played a major role, Lu Jia knew.
Everyone in the world knows it.
But why was Mrs. Yan the only one who changed her expression when Mr. Jiang said those last words?
"Hmph!"
Mrs. Yan, who was sitting high in the hall, gave a deep but helpful cold snort, which brought everyone back to their thoughts.
She stood up, took a deep look at Yan Song, and walked out.
Yan Song's face was serious and he stood up.
When he reached the threshold, Yan Shu said: "Dare I ask my father, what should I do with this place?"
Yan Song took a long breath at the night sky outside the door, raised his hand and waved it back.
Yan Shu immediately cast a sharp look at the servant at the door.
Lu Jia couldn't help but follow the direction in which the servants of the Yan family were walking and glanced at the deep and quiet back hall.
How to deal with this place is actually to ask Wei how to deal with it. Tonight, Old Thief Yan's pants were almost ripped out. How could the Wei family save anything?
The person who supports the future of the Yan family is Yan Shu. Mrs. Yan may not be able to match Yan Song's political skills, but she can rely on Yan Shu's methods to be equally powerful, and perhaps even more ruthless, than the only son of the Yan family. The old thief Yan maintained his dignity in front of him.
After Yan Song left, there were only four people left in the room.
"Lan Chu," Yan Shu walked up to Lu Jie, "what happened tonight really made you laugh."
Lu Jie held up his hands and said: "You and I have been brothers for many years, why are you so indifferent?"
Yan Shu sighed: "When I brought you husband and wife together, I sincerely wanted to have a long-term relationship with you, Lanchu. Now I just feel sorry for you."
Lu Jiesui was speechless, and the two of them sighed in silence.
Mrs. Yan came over and took Lu Jia's hand, looking up and down: "Jiajia, do you still recognize me? I almost don't recognize you. You are more beautiful and generous than when you were a child.
"I didn't know that Jiang Mingyi was able to bully such a smart and docile child. How many times did she bully her?
"I deserve to be beaten too. If I had known you were living such a life under your stepmother, I should have sought justice for you."
Lu Jia lowered his eyes and raised his sleeves to wipe his eyes.
Yan Shu withdrew his gaze from her and looked at Lu Jie: "Jiang Mingyi uttered obscene words like a madman, full of nonsense, without caring about the dignity of hurting these juniors. She previously slandered Brother Qu——"
Lu Jie replied seriously: "Since you know that she is crazy and talking nonsense, how can you take these nonsense to heart? Brother Qu, I have watched him grow up, and naturally he has never done the things she said, but I don't know what she is like. What kind of evil is involved in spreading rumors? I will give you an explanation later!”
Yan Shu and his wife looked at each other with slightly relaxed expressions.
But Mrs. Yan still said: "You are such a poisonous woman, why don't you divorce her as soon as possible?"
"Madam!" Yan Shu stopped him with a wink.
Lu Jie frowned: "Madam, what happened last night has been witnessed by many people in the government. I'm afraid it will spread all over the city early tomorrow morning. For the sake of the good reputation of Mr. Yan Ge and the Yan family, we remain silent at this time. , wait for the storm to pass It is wise. If I divorce my wife at this time, it will inevitably cause another disturbance, which will be a bad idea." Yan Shu nodded: "It is not a trivial matter to divorce my wife, not to mention that there is Sister Ying among them. Son.”
After hearing Lu Ying, Mrs. Yan's expression suddenly changed, and her eyes locked on Lu Jie again: "Then the marriage between your family and mine will not be affected by today's events, right?"
Madam Yan was still worried about what Jiang said about Yan Qu.
Of course she didn't believe that her son could not be humane!
Even if Mrs. Jiang found Yan Qu's outer room and inquired, wouldn't the cheap hooves outside talk nonsense? What if it was intentional?
She would naturally have to find out when she got back.
But Jiang was so determined not to agree to the marriage, what if it was true?
If it were true and Lu Jie refused to marry Lu Ying, wouldn't Yan Qu not only have no heirs in his life, but also not be able to marry a real wife? Naturally, there are many people in the world who are willing to marry regardless of the consequences, but the Miss Lu family refuses to marry, and the Yan family has not married anyone from the same family. Isn't it possible that this matter about Qu's brother will spread in private? ?
"It's already settled, Mr. Lu will not go back on his promise, right?"
Concern leads to chaos.
Mrs. Yan could no longer face the consequences as calmly as usual, and couldn't wait to get an answer from Lu Jie.
Lu Jia, who had his head hanging down, also raised his head a little at this time.
From the time she stepped here to now, except for Lu Jie's words when the Jiang family was at the end of their rope, Yu Ze had not spoken out for her. Just like the last time when he faced the incident with Grandma Du, he was completely clueless from beginning to end. He is a father who is always ready to make peace with others, and waits until he finally has to take a stand. So she didn't expect him to help from the beginning to the end tonight.
But every time, he never got along with each other, and he still showed the proper attitude.
Tonight, when Mrs. Jiang dragged him outside Anqing Hutong, he found the Yan family and encountered such embarrassing things. He could have gone back, but why did he drag Mr. Jiang in instead?
Is he such a gossip?
Why didn’t she know!
At this time, Mrs. Yan's question just touched Lu Jia's heart.
In the current situation, this marriage must be concluded.
The Jiang family has become a useless son. If the Yan family wants to tie up the Lu family, they can only form a marriage alliance and continue to marry the Lu family's daughters.
At this time, should we leave the existing marriage contract unfulfilled and propose a replacement instead?
If this is true, then the Yan family can be regarded as openly riding on Lu Jie's head.
Although Lu Jie had intentions for the Yan family, he had such a status, and it would not do any good if he just lowered his head into the dust and allowed himself to be manipulated.
As long as Lu Jie doesn't want to part ways with the Yan family tonight, he can only accept this marriage.
But Lu Jia still wants to know, can Lu Jie really abandon Lu Ying, who has been raised by his side for fourteen years and has never left her, just like he did in his previous life when he allowed himself to marry into the Yan family?
Lu Jie received the glances from the three people in the room, and he hardly paused: "After this incident, the Yan family is still willing to continue this marriage. Isn't it an honor for the Lu family?"
< br>
Mrs. Yan's eyes instantly lit up, and her straight waist relaxed visibly.
She smiled.
Looking at Lu Jia next to him, he hugged her again: "Good boy! Both of your parents were born in a noble family. It seems that after all, you are more dignified and elegant than Miss Lu!"
Lu Jia leaned on her shoulder and laughed silently.
Or is she more suitable to be sent to the Shen family as a new generation chess piece?
That's great.
All the ladies from the Lu family have been taken advantage of by your Yan family.
