Chapter 70
Lu Jiuyuan was slowly tasting Tao Yao's grilled fish, when a servant came outside the door and said, "Duke, Madam, please come over."

Lu Jiuyuan paused and frowned slightly, "Got it."

"The old lady is in a hurry, so I want you to go there as soon as possible." The servant said again.

Hearing this, Lu Jiuyuan had no choice but to put down his chopsticks.

He looked at the half grilled fish left on the table, thought he would come back later and eat it, so he got up and went out.

Wu Ze thought that the Duke would not have enough to eat a piece of grilled fish, so he brought him dinner.

But as soon as he entered the room, he saw that the Duke was not in the room, but he saw half a grilled fish left on the table.

He put down the food and shook his head, it was really bad, right?The Duke finally couldn't eat anymore.

He just said, how could Jiao Didi's wife know how to grill fish?
But it's hard to be the Duke of the country, so he endured the unpalatable taste and ate half of it.

When he turned to go out, he looked at the grilled fish on the table, and suddenly wondered how unpalatable this grilled fish was, and the Duke couldn't bear it anymore, and couldn't eat it anymore.

Thinking, he took the chopsticks, took a piece and put it in his mouth.

He was ready to spit it out at any time, but the next moment, his eyes lit up.

It turned out not to be as unpalatable as he thought, on the contrary, the taste of the grilled fish was excellent.

He had never eaten such a delicious grilled fish.

This... the remaining half, the Duke should not be able to eat it...

He swallowed.

……

Tao Yao didn't know about the episode in the Hall of Reaching the Stars.

When she returned to Tingfangyuan, she went to take a hot bath, and when she came out, she asked Xi'er to send the mushrooms to the small kitchen, and asked the cook to prepare a pot of mushroom noodles.

Fushou Hall.

The old lady invited Lu Jiuyuan to come over and told him about the marriage granted by the emperor during the day.

"I know." Lu Jiuyuan said lightly.

The old lady frowned, "Then what do you think about this matter?"

"Since the emperor has made an order, there is nothing to change, just prepare well for the princess's surrender." Lu Jiuyuan didn't care much.

The old lady hesitated for a while, and said: "Princess Jingwen, she is not an easy-going master, and she is very attractive, our Lu family is already eye-catching enough, let's send another princess..."

"It's nothing, I've informed the emperor that the elder brother's family will open the house in two days." Lu Jiuyuan said.

The old lady was taken aback, "Have you dealt with everything?"

"Ah."

"Is the emperor not unhappy?"

"The emperor is happy to see it succeed." Lu Jiuyuan said.

The old lady was very surprised, "But at the moment of giving the marriage, distributing the big house is tantamount to slapping the emperor in the face..."

"Mother is worrying too much. This is what the emperor likes to see. The big house will be divided out. Princess Jingwen will come from Lu's mansion, not Duke Lu's mansion." Lu Jiuyuan said.

His Duke Lu's mansion is already prominent enough, the emperor naturally does not want the Duke of Lu to become a relative of the emperor and powerful.

The emperor would like to see the big house divided.

The old lady was completely relieved when she heard the words, "That's good."

"If mother has nothing else to do, I'll go back first." Lu Jiuyuan got up and said.

The old lady suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile: "Wait a minute, I will give you a good thing."

Lu Jiuyuan frowned, but stopped.

"Nurse Lan, hurry up and get that thing to Lao Jiu." The old lady ordered.

Sister Lan responded with a smile, and went to the inner hall.

After a while, she took out a white porcelain bottle and gave it to Lu Jiuyuan directly.

Lu Jiuyuan took it, puzzled, "What is this?"

The old lady smiled meaningfully, "It's a good thing. Before you go to Tingfangyuan, remember to take it first. I promise you will be alive and well all night long."

Lu Jiuyuan: "..."

Even though he was ignorant of human affairs, after hearing this, he already understood what was in the bottle.

His crow-like eyelashes trembled, as if he had touched some hot potato, he quickly put down the bottle, and said in a cold voice, "I don't need it."

The old lady said anxiously: "Oh, don't be brave, I won't say..."

"Mother!" Lu Jiuyuan interrupted her with a twitching vein on his forehead.

The old lady was scolded by her son, she drooped her head, and muttered in a low voice: "I don't want you to have an heir soon..."

Lu Jiuyuan rubbed the center of his brows, with a dark face, he left directly.

As soon as he left, the old lady picked up the bottle with a look of regret. This is a big tonic pill that she specially asked a doctor to make, and Lao Jiu didn't appreciate it.

What a waste of her pains.

Sister Lan persuaded: "Old Madam, don't worry too much, the Duke is still young, maybe... really don't need this."

"The problem is that he hasn't had a woman for so many years. Am I worried about his health?" The old lady said distressedly.

The corner of Sister Lan's mouth twitched, "The Duke is strong and healthy...it shouldn't be so..."

"You don't know why some people are strong on the outside but strong on the outside, but in fact... alas.

And Yaoyao, you can tell at a glance that it is still a girl's family, don't think I don't know, the two of them didn't sleep together at all on their wedding day.

I'm just afraid that there is something wrong with Lao Jiu's body..." The old lady said very sadly.

Lu Qingbai came here specifically to apologize to her grandmother for the day's affairs, but she didn't expect to hear the conversation between the two as soon as she walked outside the house.

Uncle Jiu and Yaoyao...really haven't consummated their marriage yet?

Moreover, it may be that Uncle Jiu has a physical problem...

Otherwise, for a beautiful person like Tao Yao, the two of them are married, why can Uncle Jiu resist touching her?

If he...

He restrained his thoughts.

This discovery made him pleasantly surprised, and the gloom caused by the emperor's gift of marriage also faded a lot.

He stood outside the door for a while, narrowing his eyes slightly.

It will be long in the future.

He didn't wait long, turned around and left.

Besides, after Lu Jiuyuan left the Fushou Hall with a gloomy face, he went straight back to the Star Picking Hall.

Thinking of the half grilled fish left in the house, his expression softened a little.

In fact, his appetite is not heavy, no matter how delicious the food is, for him, it is just to fill his stomach.

But the strange thing is that when he was talking to his mother in Fushoutang just now, he was always thinking about that grilled fish.

As long as he thinks that the grilled fish was grilled by Tao Yao himself, he feels that the deliciousness in the world is nothing more than this.

Thinking lightly, he stepped into the room.

However, the half of the grilled fish left on the table had long since disappeared, leaving only an empty plate there.

He frowned, and just as he was about to ask someone to ask, he saw Wu Ze walking in.

"Who came into the house just now, where is the half of the grilled fish I ate?" Lu Jiuyuan asked with a frown.

"Hi~" Wu Ze was about to reply, but couldn't help but hiccup.

He was taken aback, especially when he saw his master's eyes were displeased, he quickly covered his mouth, and replied vaguely: "Could it be that he entered the cat and was eaten by the cat?"

Lu Jiuyuan frowned deeply, "Where did the cat come from?"

"Maybe it's a wild cat." Wu Ze put down his hand and said with a serious face, "You dare to steal the Duke's grilled fish, so the subordinates will go and catch it, let it eat it, and spit it out. "

A vein twitched on Lu Jiuyuan's forehead, and he said gloomily, "Forget it, you can go down."

 Have a nice weekend~
