Chapter 718 I’m old enough to be your father
Mother Lu was stunned and asked in confusion: "What do you mean? What big thing do you want to plan?"
Lu Jiangyue lowered her head, a blush appeared on her cheeks, and she said with a slightly red face: "Of course... of course it's my daughter's marriage..."
"My daughter is not young anymore. We can't delay any longer. How can we let go of such a golden opportunity?"
Mother Lu's expression suddenly became extremely interesting, as if she was stunned, surprised, and shocked.
She quickly glanced at Lu Jianglin and Shen Nanqiao's room. Seeing that they hadn't come out yet, she quickly pulled Lu Jiangyue aside and said in a low voice, "I know you have always had a lot of ideas since you were young. I didn't expect you to be so bold!"
"I'm telling you, what you're thinking is absolutely not possible!"
Lu Jiangyue suddenly became unhappy and asked coldly, "Why not?"
"Mother, if my daughter marries well, she will be able to be filial to you in the future. Not only will you be able to live a good life, but maybe she can also help her brother."
"Why do you object to this?"
Mother Lu was overwhelmed: "Oh my god, what sin have I committed!"
"No matter how prosperous the Shen family is, and no matter how high-ranking your father-in-law is, he can still be your father at that age!"
"Besides, he is your sister-in-law's biological father. If you marry him, won't the order of generations be messed up?"
"Besides, your mother-in-law just passed away, and you seduced your father-in-law in front of her funeral. How can this be considered shameless? If this gets out, not only will your reputation be ruined, but I'm afraid your brother won't be able to live as a human being in the future!"
"I'm warning you, swallow this thought back immediately, don't even think about it, or else don't blame me for not recognizing you as my daughter!"
No matter how much Mother Lu loves Lu Jiangyue, the person she values and relies on the most is her son.
After all, Lu Jiangyue was an unmarried girl. When she heard Lu's mother's speculation about her, she felt ashamed and embarrassed, and her face suddenly turned red.
"Mother, what are you thinking about?"
"You also know that Uncle Shen is old enough to be my father. How could I possibly have such thoughts about him?"
"I mean, I mean..."
Having said that, Lu Jiangyue bit her lip, seeming a little embarrassed.
But for the sake of her own happy marriage, she still took a deep breath and said, "The Wenquxing who won three first prizes in the imperial examinations is Mr. Jiang Lingzhou, the adopted son of Uncle Shen. Now that Aunt Shen has passed away, he will definitely go to the Shen family to pay his respects."
"Mr. Jiang and I have no relationship, and this may be my only chance to get in touch with him. If I can't seize it, how can I change my life?"
Mother Lu heaved a sigh of relief: "So you were talking about Young Master Jiang, not my father-in-law. I was really scared to death!"
Lu Jiangyue also glanced towards Shen Nanqiao's room and said anxiously, "Mom, my sister-in-law and the others should be changing their clothes soon and coming out. Please help me figure out how to carry out this plan!"
Mother Lu had never seen much of the world, and when she thought of Master Jiang, who was plotting against Wenquxing, she couldn't help but hesitate: "Yue'er... is it really okay to do this?"
"What if Mr. Jiang turns against us, or orders us to be thrown into jail? Wouldn't that be a huge loss for us?"
Lu Jiangyue stamped her feet impatiently: "Mom, why are you so stupid!"
"Who are we? We are my sister-in-law's in-laws. Even if the truth is exposed, Master Jiang will have to give face to the Buddha. How could he allow us to be arrested and thrown into jail?"
"And you know that scholars like them care about their reputation. If he had something with his daughter in public... for the sake of his face and reputation, he would definitely hold his nose and swallow this loss."
"By then, my daughter will be the wife of Wenquxing, and her status will be higher than that of my sister-in-law!"
"At worst, my daughter can become Mr. Jiang's concubine."
"If you don't take it too seriously, you can also be considered the mother-in-law of Wenquxing. Don't you want all the noble ladies in the capital, and even in the Great Zhou, to envy you?"
Mother Lu was moved by what Lu Jiangyue said: "This does seem to be a solution..."
"Why don't we wait for your sister-in-law to come out and tell her about this plan? After all, the Shen family is your sister-in-law's family. With her help, we can also... How do you say that, what times?"
Lu Jiangyue sneered: "Mom, you'd better save your breath! You know what kind of personality your sister-in-law has."
"I'm afraid in her heart, she just hopes that I can marry someone as bad as possible. Why would she want my status to surpass hers?"
"If my sister-in-law knew about this, she would be lucky enough not to interfere. Why would she let us achieve twice the result with half the effort?"
"Also, my brother objected so strongly when he heard about this last time. You'd better not tell them to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Mother Lu suddenly remembered what Lu Jianglin said last time: "...Didn't your brother say that he and Mr. Jiang are both new Jinshi this year? You are his biological sister. If you become Mr. Jiang's concubine, your brother will lose face..."
Lu Jiangyue snorted coldly, "Brother said that on purpose because he was angry with sister-in-law and didn't want me to marry her brother."
"It will only be better if the relationship is strengthened. How can there be any loss of face?"
"Do you want to help me? Please make up your mind!"
Mother Lu's identity and living environment destined her to have no long-term vision.
After hearing what Lu Jiangyue said and being urged by her, Mother Lu made up her mind and said, "Okay! I'll do as you say!"
"Is there any man in the world who is better than Wenquxing? You should marry him!"
Lu Jiangyue recalled the scenes she had seen in the storybooks. Her face turned even redder and her voice became hesitant: "Mother, Young Master Jiang doesn't even recognize who I am. I'm afraid he won't give in easily..."
"I still need your help in this matter. Find a way to get some of that medicine for my daughter."
At Lu's mother's age, she has already given birth to two children, so she naturally knows what medicine Lu Jiangyue is referring to.
She couldn't help but feel a little headache: "At this critical moment, where can I get it for you? If it is found out later, there will be trouble again..."
Lu Jiangyue asked quickly: "What's the trouble?"
"The pigs raised by Aunt Li next door didn't go into heat this spring and didn't give birth to piglets. Didn't she feed them some medicine powder and then the pigs cooperated?"
"Go to Aunt Li's house right now and ask for some medicine powder!"
Mother Lu frowned: "This... can the one used by pigs be the same as the one used by humans?"
"What's the difference?"
Just then, the door opened and Shen Nanqiao and Lu Jianglin walked out.
Lu Jiangyue quickly pushed her mother and said, "Mom, go quickly!"
Mother Lu was afraid that they would discover her plan, so she hurried out of the house out of guilt.
Lu Jianglin asked doubtfully: "Yue'er, where are you going, mother?"
