Chapter 153 What a perfect match
Chapter 153 What a perfect match
"This……"
Song Rui hesitated for a moment, then nodded reluctantly.
"Okay, if Lan Xin wants to go, I can go with her."
In fact, he also wanted to visit the Lu family. After all, Su Lanyin had always shown interest in him.
But something suddenly changed yesterday, and he felt a little confused.
This time I went there and tried it out.
What if Su Lanyin is willing to be his mistress or concubine?
Not to mention that she is more beautiful than Su Lanxin, the Lu family's wealth alone is extremely abundant. If it goes into his pocket, will he still have to worry about not having money to pave the way for the future?
Thinking of this, a greedy gleam flashed in his eyes.
……
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the flower viewing banquet.
Cuizhu has been keeping an eye on Wenli these days, leaving her with no free time to murder Su Lanyin.
But even so, she still sneaked into the kitchenette after everyone went to bed.
Su Lanyin likes to eat pastries, so Lu Wanjun built a pastry room and hired a pastry chef.
Wenli put the slow-acting poison that Liu Ruyan gave her into the flour used to make snacks.
This poison is colorless and odorless, and its toxicity is relatively mild and it is a chronic poison with a long latent period.
Therefore, ordinary drug testing methods cannot detect it at all.
Wenli thought that everything she did was done secretly, but she didn't realize that A'mo was on the roof the whole time.
After she finished poisoning and returned to the room, A'mo took the bag of flour that had just been opened and sneaked into the Su family under the cover of night.
That’s right, the bag of poisonous flour has been placed in the Su family’s kitchen.
Doesn't Liu Ruyan like to use slow-acting poison? Then let the whole family enjoy the taste of this poison.
……
The carriage slowly stopped in front of the Lu Mansion.
Su Lanxin stood at the bottom of the stairs, looking at the two large gold-plated characters "Lu Mansion" above her head, and she clenched her fists in anger.
"Humph, a bunch of thieves!"
Hearing her mumble a few words, Song Rui's face was full of confusion.
"Lan Xin, what are you talking about?"
Su Lanxin glared at the tall vermilion door and said angrily in a suppressed voice, "If they hadn't stolen the Su family's money when they moved out, how could they live in such a nice yard! It's all because my father and mother are too kind and generous!"
Song Rui thought that no matter how rich Lu Wanjun's family was, she, a concubine, would not be able to afford such a luxurious house.
So, I believed what Su Lanxin said.
"Then why didn't you stop it? This is not a small amount of money."
"They are just some personal belongings. My father and mother will not argue with them. Besides, there is not much money. There is really no need to make trouble and let outsiders see that they are losing face!"
"I see. After all, my future father-in-law and mother-in-law are broad-minded and have high moral standards."
Although she didn't want to hear him call her parents like that, Su Lanxin found the compliment very nice and reluctantly refuted.
"Let's go in and see what tricks Su Lanyin is up to!"
After saying that, Su Lanxin deliberately took Song Rui's arm and walked into the Lu family's gate with him side by side.
Before, Su Lanyin called Song Rui "Brother Song" all the time, so she must have liked Song Rui in her heart.
So Su Lanxin felt that she was the winner in the end, so she felt like showing off and provoking others today.
Lu Wanjun was standing behind the screen to greet the guests. She was smiling brightly the previous second, but her expression immediately turned cold the next second when she saw Su Lanxin.
"How did you come?"
She didn't know that Su Lanyin had sent an invitation to Song Rui, so it was normal for her to have doubts.
Su Lanxin threw the invitation into her arms arrogantly, curling her lips and saying in a cold and arrogant tone: "It was your daughter who sent someone to deliver the invitation to invite me. If I didn't come, others would think I was narrow-minded, so I brought my fiancé to attend."
"Fiancé?" Lu Wanjun frowned, then reacted and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, saying from the bottom of her heart, "You two are really a perfect match, please come in."
I was just worried that there were not enough shows, and when these two people show up, isn’t that the best show?
One is extremely hypocritical, the other is vain and selfish, what a perfect match!
Lu Wanjun gave a wink, and a servant asked Su Lanxin and Song Rui to go inside.
Before, I could only see a tall screen outside the door, but now that I came in, the view in front of me suddenly became clear.
The Lu family's courtyard design is very unique, with flowing water under small bridges, pavilions, towers, rockery and flower columns. Every landscape is like a miniature version of the beautiful scenery of the river and mountains.
Especially the exotic flowers and plants everywhere, being among them is like being in a fairyland.
Walking along the vermilion corridor, the scenery on both sides is pleasing to the eye, and before you are still wanting more, you have arrived at the Hundred Flowers Garden.
Entering the semicircular arch, a group of guests had already gathered inside. All of them were dressed in luxurious clothes and had outstanding temperament. It was obvious at first glance that they were either rich or noble.
Song Rui couldn't help but think of Liu Ruyan who had also planned to hold a banquet before, but unfortunately, no one accepted the invitations she sent out.
Look at the grand scene before you and you can tell who is better.
After all, she was a noble lady from an official family, and her ability to make and maintain personal connections was not a bit inferior to that of Lu Wanjun, who came from a merchant family and was worldly-wise and sophisticated.
If Su Lanxin becomes like her mother in the future, how can she give him greater support?
Thinking of this, his eyes explored everywhere and finally fell on a bright and charming girl in pink.
Su Lanyin was dressed gracefully today, with beautiful makeup and a sweet smile. From a distance, she looked elegant and refined, as if she was a fairy descended from heaven.
At this moment, she was inviting the Shangshu and his wife to take a seat. She spoke freely and behaved gracefully, showing the demeanor of a lady from a noble family.
Not only that, she also moved among the guests with ease.
In the previous second, he was smiling and talking to the Shangshu and his wife, and in the next second, he was welcoming the general and his family of three, respectful but not fawning.
In short, she moved among the guests like flowing water, calm and elegant, neither humble nor arrogant, yet making everyone's eyes follow her.
Such a woman... is really rare in the world!
If I could get her, I would have no regrets in this life!
He was so absorbed in his thoughts that his eyes were fixed on the subject. Su Lanxin, who noticed this, was so angry that her face turned green.
But she couldn't get angry with so many people around, so she could only quietly reach out and pinch Song Rui's arm.
"Uh……"
The pain brought Song Rui back to his senses. He frowned and groaned, with displeasure in his eyes.
"Lan Xin, why are you..."
Su Lanxin glared at him sideways, lowered her voice and squeezed out a few words from between her teeth.
"What are you looking at? Your saliva is almost dripping! If you keep looking at me, you'll marry Su Lanyin!"
After saying that, she turned around and strode towards a less crowded place. Her back looked very angry.
Song Rui snorted coldly, feeling displeased in his heart.
This woman was too much. She pinched him in public. Fortunately, no one saw it, otherwise how could he save his face?
He just looked at Su Lanyin a few times and he was so irritable and expressionless. What would happen if he married her in the future?
