Chapter 134

After Lu Mingyu heard about this, she was also a little surprised.
In her previous life, Shen Lan and Fang Zizhan were husband and wife. In this life, Shen Lan married into the Lu family, and the Fang family asked to marry the Di daughter of the Qiao family.
She only hoped that Qiao Wan would not be so infatuated like before, in this life. Live your little life well, and don’t die early.
Shen Lan glanced at Lu Mingyu, and carefully considered her words: “The Qiao family and the Fang family have even set a wedding date, which will be in April next year.”
Lu Mingyu raised her eyebrows and smiled: “What do you always see me doing?”
Shen Lan coughed, He said in a low voice: “After the marriage was bestowed by the imperial decree, Qiao Wan fell ill. During this period, she never showed her face in front of others. The Fang family’s marriage proposal went so smoothly, which is not unrelated to this matter.”
Qiao Wan was quite famous in the capital. With talent and fame, a grandfather who was the chief assistant, and an aunt who was the Empress, naturally there was no need to worry about marriage. After her hairpin ceremony, many people came to propose marriage.
The Qiao family has been unresponsive all along, and it’s not hard to guess what they might be thinking. It was a common occurrence for relatives to arrange marriages, and anyone could see that Qiao Wan and the Second Prince would be a very suitable match.
Who would have thought that there would be a Lu Mingyu in front of her!
Qiao Wan was sad and fell ill, and there was no improvement for more than a month. Empress Qiao sent people to visit Qiao Wan at Qiao’s house one after another and rewarded her with many supplements.
The Second Prince had also been to Qiao’s house. However, he didn’t step into Qiao Wan’s boudoir, he only said a few words of concern to his cousin.
At that crucial juncture, the Fang family had come to propose a marriage alliance. Fang Zizhan wasn’t the most remarkable individual, but he had his merits. In order to put an end to Qiao Wan’s infatuation as soon as possible, the Qiao family agreed to the marriage proposal.
Lu Mingyu was silent for a moment, then sighed softly: “If possible, I would also like to see Qiao Wan marry the Second Prince.”
She said this will all sincerity.
Shen Lan obviously misunderstood, and immediately smiled and said: “I was just joking, why are you talking about yourself? This matter has nothing to do with you from the beginning to the end.”
“If the Second Prince was interested in Qiao Wan, the marriage could have already been settled. Many girls love the Second Prince, is it possible for His Royal Highness to marry all of them back as concubines?”
“In fact, the Fang family also proposed a marriage alliance with the Shen family. I was unwilling to marry, so my parents had to decline the proposal from the Fang family. If Qiao Wan knew about this, would she blame me?”
“Marriage depends on fate. In my opinion, Qiao Wan and the Second Prince are not destined. You and the Second Prince, on the other hand, are a perfect match, destined by heaven and earth.”
“An eye for an eye, a debt for a debt. From that perspective, she and Li Jing are indeed well-matched.”
Luo Mingyu smiled briefly and quickly changed the topic.
…
In November, another incident occurred in the capital.
The fourth son of Zhao from Puyang Hou’s mansion, his fiancée contracted a serious disease and died. Originally scheduled to welcome relatives at the end of the year, the happy event suddenly turned into a funeral.
According to the current customs, when a fiancée who has not married yet dies, a man does not need to observe his wife’s filial piety. With sharp eyes and quick hands, Puyang Hou quickly arranged another marriage for Zhao Rui.
It was Jin Can’er, the youngest daughter of Jin Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.
When Lu Mingyu heard this, she was dumbfounded again.
Her rebirth changed the fate of many people around her. Maybe not only because of her, but also Su Zhaorong in the palace, and the mysterious Li Jing.
One flap of three pairs of butterfly wings created an effect like a hurricane, blowing everyone’s fate in an unknown direction.
Shen Lan laughed softly: “I know you don’t like Jin Can’er very much. Speaking of which, Jin Can’er is not easy to marry. She is unruly and self-willed and doesn’t have a good reputation, but her eyes are higher than the top. Nobody was willing to go to the Jin family to propose marriage.”
“Girls of the same age, those who are engaged are engaged, and those who are married are married. Only Jin Can’er has never been engaged. She is the most stubborn, because she feels very embarrassed about this matter, and she is so angry that she refuses to come out to meet people. “
Zhao Rui’s fiancée died of illness, and Marquis Puyang went to the Jin family to propose marriage. There is no reason for the Jin family to refuse this proposal.”
Zhao Rui did come across as a bit of a playboy, but his privileged background was also important!
Empress Dowager Zhao, who was eccentric, supported him, and Emperor Yongjia also took good care of the Zhao family. Zhao Rui was lazy, with mediocre skills, and even had the post of a royal guard, which showed that his support from the Royal Family was good.
Jin Shangshu readily accepted the marriage. The Zhao family’s wedding was in a hurry, and it will be in April next year. She and Qiao Wan were going to get married within days of each other.
Lu Mingyu nodded slightly: “It’s a pity for Zhao Si.”
Shen Lan was amused to hear that: “You beat Zhao Si before, why is it a pity for Zhao Si now? Jin Can’er just has no brains, a bad temper and a foul mouth. Don’t worry about anything else!”
Lu Mingyu was also happy: “You summed it up really brilliantly.”
Wasn’t it just that she had no brains, a bad temper and a foul mouth? To be honest, Jin Can’er was not a villain. Just that, her temper was enough for Zhao Rui to bear.
…
Qiao Wan and Jin Can’er’s marriage was just a talk between the two of them. After all, it had nothing to do with the Lu family. The most important thing for the Lu family at the moment was the happy event of Lu Minghua getting married.
As soon as the days passed, it entered the twelfth lunar month.
The wedding day of Lu Minghua’s marriage was nearly there.
The night before the wedding, Lu Mingyu went to Lu Minghua’s boudoir.
Shen Lan quietly stuffed a booklet for Lu Minghua. Lu Minghua took it with a blushing face. At this moment, Lu Mingyu pushed the door open and entered.
Lu Minghua panicked and immediately stuffed the booklet under her pillow.
Lu Mingyu knew what was going on at a glance.
This was what happened to women before they got married. The Lu family had no female family elders, and Lu Mingyu hadn’t left the boudoir yet. So Shen Lan, as the ersao, came here quietly, which was also very considerate.
As Luo Minghua’s pretty face turned almost as red as a piece of cloth, Luo Mingyu couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly. However, he maintained an oblivious demeanour and smiled, asking, “Ersao, what are you and Third Sister talking about?”
Shen Lan also acted as if nothing was amiss and smiled gently, saying, “Tomorrow is a joyous day for Minghua’s wedding. I thought she might be a bit nervous, so I came to have a chat with her.”
Then, she stood up: “You sisters talk, I will go out first.”
Shen Lan walked away, there were only two sisters, Lu Mingyu and Lu Minghua, left in the boudoir.
Lu Mingyu sat next to Lu Minghua, and asked with a smile: “Sister, how are you feeling now?”
Lu Minghua’s pretty face was slightly flushed, and his eyes were full of joy: “Fourth sister, my heart beats non-stop when I think about getting married tomorrow. I’m not ashamed to tell you, I’ve been looking forward to this day!”
Her face turned even redder: “Fourth Sister, if you want to laugh at me, just laugh!”
Lu Minghua knew in her heart that Lu Mingyu had never liked Zhou Li.
Lu Mingyu sighed softly in her heart, and smiled as usual on her face: “Being able to marry a sweetheart is the happiest thing in a woman’s life. Third sister, I wish you a smooth life after marriage, peace and joy.”
Lu Minghua’s eyes were slightly moist, and she rested her head on Lu Mingyu’s shoulder: “Fourth sister, thank you.”
Lu Mingyu stretched out her hand to wrap around Lu Minghua’s shoulder, and the two sisters leaned their heads against each other quietly. There was not much time left for such peaceful sisters to get along with each other.
Tomorrow, Lu Minghua will marry into the Zhou family and become the Zhou family’s daughter-in-law.
