After the true daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

Yun Qing's attitude made Lu Jinyan very angry, "What are you talking about! You are an unmarried couple, and it is a marriage contract granted by the Queen Mother and Her Majesty. How can it be given and accepted in private!"

Realizing that his tone seemed a little heavier, Lu Jinyan calmed down and said seriously: "As a father, I am also worried about you. Shen Yuan is of high status and highly trusted by His Majesty. There are countless women who admire him.

Men are so ruthless. If you don't maintain your relationship with General Shen, there's no guarantee that he won't fall into the love of other women in the future. "

Only if Shen Yuan cares about Yun Qing can this marriage bring greater benefits to the Hou family.

Lu Jinyan didn't care about Yun Qing's reputation. What he wanted was an obedient, sensible daughter who could be used by him.

Yun Qing suddenly chuckled when he heard this, raised his eyes to look at Lu Jinyan and said, "So, is my father also a cold and cold person?"

Lu Jinyan was startled for a moment, and then said in an unhappy tone: "Of course I'm not. Don't you know what I've done to your mother over the years?"

Yun Qing looked into Lu Jinyan's eyes and said in a cold voice, "But is what my father did really what my mother wanted?"

"What do you mean by this, but what did your mother say to you?" Lu Jinyan frowned, doubts rising in his heart.

Yun Qing narrowed her eyes, not in the mood to face the selfish and hypocritical man in front of her, "Father, truly being good for a person makes her happy, rather than focusing on yourself to satisfy your own selfish desires.

My relationship with Shen Yuan cannot reach the level that my father wants. If my father feels that I am of no use, he can replace me at any time. It doesn't matter to me. "

Yun Qing stood up and bowed casually under Lu Jinyan's gloomy gaze, "If there is nothing wrong with my father, then my daughter will leave first."

Looking at Yun Qing's leaving figure, Lu Jinyan felt helpless that things were out of control, which he didn't want to see.

Although the mines on the outskirts of Beijing have begun to operate, because facilities and housing are temporarily unavailable, they can only slowly recruit refugees, so each family continues to provide soup.

Some small businesses set up porridge tents for a few days and then couldn't bear it anymore. They thought they had responded to King Yu anyway, so they immediately removed the porridge tents.

The foundation of Wudinghou Mansion has long been disobedient, and it is a bit difficult to come here this time, but the dignified Hou Mansion is not one of those little-known small sects, so no matter how difficult it is to save face, it cannot be left behind.

Mrs. Cai looked at the account books in the mansion and was worried, and couldn't help complaining: "The daily expenses are so high, if we give it for another ten and a half days, the mansion will have to use up the family's funds next month."

There is no very profitable business in the Wudinghou Mansion, and Lu Jinyan has had little real power in recent years. However, Lu Jinyan does not want to lose face, so the pomp and pomp that the mansion should have has not been reduced at all, so that the mansion often runs a deficit.

"Brother, why don't we stop the porridge shop too!"

"No!" Lu Jinyan objected without thinking. "No matter how painful it is, no one will see it. But once the face is lost, the Wuding Hou Mansion will really become a joke in the capital."

Lu Shenxing let out a long sigh, banged the table and said, "It's all the fault of that stupid woman of the Song family. If she hadn't given away the grain store to others, why would our Marquis Mansion be like this?

When I think of that stupid woman, I want to strangle her to death with my own hands! "

"Okay, why are you talking about this now! Although the Song family is hateful, Xixuan is still your legitimate daughter. Don't blame Xixuan because of the Song family."

Although Mrs. Cai is selfish and cold-blooded, she still has some affection for this eldest granddaughter who has been with her since childhood.

"Don't worry, mother, your son knows it well." Although Lu Shenxing is not a loving father, he will not treat his daughter badly. "After the limelight, my mother and sister-in-law helped Xi Xuan look after the marriage and prevent her from being in love in the house. .”

Ms. Cai sneered, "What kind of connections does Mr. Xu have? If he comes from a small family and is able to marry into our Marquis Mansion, it's just smoke coming out of the Xu family's ancestral grave!"

It doesn't matter that my mother-in-law is incompetent, she is still very sick, and she doesn't look like a matron at all! "

Lu Jinyan sounded upset and was about to change the subject when a servant suddenly came to report that it was the eldest lady who wanted to see him.

Lu Xixuan walked into the house slowly. Seeing that she had lost a lot of weight, Cai couldn't help but feel distressed, "Xuan'er, these days have been tough for you."

After Lu Xixuan expressed her gratitude to Ms. Cai, she suddenly opened her mouth and retreated. Ms. Cai didn't know why and asked, "Xuan'er, what are you doing?"

Lu Xixuan's eyes were firm and she said word by word: "Grandma, uncle, Xixuan has something important to report.

It's about the face of the Hou Mansion, so Xixuan has to be careful! "
