Chapter 146 I instantly smelled the scent of a big melon
The Queen Mother's face trembled slightly.
Although, it still felt a bit weird to hear the little girl complain about her son like this.
After knowing the general information about the poisonous insect and how to raise and use it, the emperor and his sisters would naturally not stay in the palace any longer.
Although he was a non-vegetarian, he was not so outrageous as to attack two little girls of twelve or thirteen years old.
Especially the matter of the poisonous insects, which had become known to everyone.
Neither their looks nor the poisonous insects in their bodies were so outstanding that he was willing to give up his face again.
The empress dowager knew the emperor's purpose of summoning people into the palace. When she heard Lu Xinran's voice, she subconsciously wanted to defend her son.
But when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she saw Wang's eyes flashing with anxiety and expectation, so she swallowed the words back.
Although Wang is bold, she is not to be feared.
Considering the Zhang family's conditions and the situation they will face in the future, as well as the terrifying gluttonous eating habits of those poisonous insects, the Zhang family will only become increasingly decadent in the future.
Unless Wang was willing to marry her two granddaughters into merchant families, how could she be willing to do that given her ambition?
So the fate of the Zhang family is already determined.
Lu Xinran always felt that she didn't have enough fun eating melons in the palace today, but she learned the method of feeding the poisonous insects up close, heard about those rare treasures, and learned the feeding method of the slimming insect. Her trip was still quite worthwhile.
After coming out of the palace, the two sisters had just got on the carriage when they heard a low cry coming from outside the carriage.
Lu Xinran immediately lifted the car curtain and saw Zhang Yuhe and her sister standing next to Wang, listening to her whispered complaints.
Wang never expected that her granddaughter would be kicked out even though she had already entered the palace.
Why were they sent out if they had poisonous insects in their bodies?
Is it that the effect of the poisonous insect cannot affect the emperor?
Thinking of this possibility, Wang sighed inwardly.
The ambitions and aspirations they had when they entered the palace have now turned into just wanting them to survive.
How did the Emperor and the Empress Dowager know that she could use poisonous insects?
If everyone in the palace knows about it, will all the prefectures in the capital also receive the news?
If everyone knew about this, would these two precious granddaughters still be able to marry into wealthy families?
Wang, worriedly, pulled the two of them onto a carriage nearby.
The carriages passed each other on the street, and the lifted curtains made the people in the carriages look at each other subconsciously.
Wang looked at the pair of sisters, and a thought came to her mind: the situation they were in today must be related to the sisters!
After returning home, Lu Xinran immediately and happily wrote down the method of feeding the beautifying and slimming insect.
A year of life is nothing compared to eating and drinking as much as you want without gaining weight!
Not to mention that she has a system, as long as there are melons to eat, theoretically she can live like an old monster.
Even if she didn't have a system and only had a year to live, as long as she wasn't a short-lived ghost who would die in a year, she could swallow the bug with her eyes closed!
Pei had not expected that they would have such a gain from entering the palace today. Thinking of Wang's still slim figure, even though she only had a few years left to live, she couldn't help but be tempted.
Lu Xinran hummed and told everyone what she knew about how to feed the poisonous insect. She was originally worried about how she would answer when everyone asked her how she knew it.
As a result, everyone skipped this question as if they had discussed it beforehand, and talked excitedly about how many benefits the insect could bring.
"Grandmother, if Wang Shi was so poor, why didn't she raise the poisonous insects and sell them to the ladies in the various mansions?"
Her figure has not changed over the years. Isn't this the best proof?
Lu Xinran was confused. She had always thought that there was something wrong with the insect, so Wang didn't dare to sell it openly.
But she flipped through Wang's booklet several times and couldn't see the problem, which made her even more confused.
Pei's background and status meant that she would never take Wang, the wife of a minor official, seriously. So she could not recall Wang's character and could only make blind guesses.
"Maybe there are some restrictions, or... this kind of insect only has this one."
Lu Xinran: “?!!”
If this is really the reason, then her business of making money to support her gigolo will be ruined again!
Pei listened to her unfocused thoughts, laughed, and asked Madam Xu to hand the invitation from the Duke's Mansion to the sisters.
"This is a letter from the girl from the Zhang family, inviting you to visit their house tomorrow."
Lu Xinran took the invitation and looked at it again and again curiously. Didn’t they just meet at Xu’s house? Why was he so anxious to see them?
Lu Xintong and her sisters instantly smelled the scent of the big melon and immediately came over to surround her.
"Second sister, can you take us with you tomorrow?"
Lu Xinran weighed the invitation and nodded slightly: "If you want to go, then let's go together."
Zhang Shuier went looking for them... maybe she was just bored and wanted to get together for a drink and chat?
Lu Xinlan had already noticed Zhang Shuier's true intention from various signs. That day, Lu Xinran teased her and asked her to attack her cousin. That girl... must have been tempted.
Although she didn't know what the hidden story was, out of tacit understanding, she believed that Lu Xinran would never let her best friend marry her close cousin.
Therefore, when we arrive at the Duke's Mansion tomorrow, we will definitely learn a lot of inside information.
I just don't know whether Zhang Shuier and her mother are ready, or if Qiu has already known the inside story and just took advantage of the situation to reveal the inside story.
Pei looked at her granddaughters who were happily playing together, and smiled with a bit of... envy.
She also wanted to have a taste of the melon, as listening to other people's summary of the melon lacked some fun.
Early the next morning, it was Kong who took the four sisters away in a carriage again.
Zhao looked at their departing backs with her eyes red with jealousy!
What the hell is going on with these people!
She is the eldest lady of the Lu Mansion and the mother of that dead girl. How could they ignore her and invite Kong Shi instead of her!
Pei looked at the eyes that were very angry because he couldn't turn around, sighed and gave another reminder.
"The word 'mother' cannot be recognized by blood alone. It cannot be recognized by others. When you can accept Xinran from the bottom of your heart and treat her as well as you treat Xinlan, others will recognize you as a mother."
They were no longer accompanied by Kong whenever they went out.
Zhao paused as she pulled the handkerchief. She couldn't swallow the anger she felt when she thought about that damn girl who always complained about her in her heart for no reason and always called her stupid.
She, she didn't have to be angry with that girl, but she was a mother and an elder, so what if that girl gave in to her once? !
As long as she gives in and is coaxed, won't she just come down the stairs and the mother and daughter will reconcile, right?
But the girl didn't even want to look at her, so she had to lower her head...
No, she can't do it.
