Chapter 42 Cutting corners
"Ok?"

Su Jingran was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Xie Qian meant, but Su Jingran looked at Xie Qian's eyes and quickly understood.

In the battle for the royal throne, there can only be one winner between Xie Si and Xie Qian.

Now that Su Ningran has chosen to stand by Xie Qian's side, she should keep choosing.

"let's go!"

Xie Qian didn't say much, and pulled Su Jingran away from here.

The already silent ground outside the city suddenly became quiet, leaving only the sound of the wind blowing the fallen leaves.

The city was very lively. Lu Manman walked happily on the street, completely unaware of the figure behind him, and played excitedly with Chen Xue all the way.

Today was the most relaxed and happiest moment since her time travel.

“Today was great!!!”

Lu Manman's eyebrows were crooked, and she was jumping to the front, which made Chen Xue very worried.

There were a lot of people on Chinese Valentine's Day tonight. Chen Xue was afraid that Lu Manman would get lost, so she followed closely.

"Manman, slow down! It's too late, otherwise we should go back!"

When Lu Manman turned around, he saw Chen Xue's anxious look. The smile on his face faltered, and he quickly stepped forward and took Chen Xue's hand.

"It's still early, let's play some more!"

It’s lively tonight, Lu Manman hasn’t felt such joy for a long time, and it’s only what time! Going back?

She Lu Manman hasn’t had enough fun yet! ! !

No matter what, we have to play all night long!
"Manman, it's already very late. Let's go back. Don't let father worry."

Chen Xue patiently persuaded her, but Lu Manman curled her lips and had no choice but to follow Chen Xue back.

Is that guy Lu Nanchang worried about Lu Manman?

Just kidding!
But Lu Manman thought that today was Chinese Valentine's Day, and she couldn't occupy Chen Xue all day and night, and not let her go home to spend the festival with Lu Haonan!
Therefore, Lu Manman stopped acting mischievously, followed Chen Xue obediently, and quietly accompanied Chen Xue back home.

"Manman..."

Chen Xue could see that Lu Manman was unhappy, but she was doing it for Lu Manman's own good.

A woman who has not left the court really cannot play outside for so long, otherwise she will inevitably encounter danger.

"Sister-in-law! Let's go, let's go! Brother is still waiting for you at home. He should be back from socializing at this time!"

In order to prevent the atmosphere from being awkward, Lu Manman joked with Chen Xue, causing Chen Xue to blush and lower her head in embarrassment.

When Lu Manman and Chen Xue returned to the house, Lu Haonan had indeed returned and was waiting at the door of the house early, looking at his wife's stone.

Lu Manman saw Lu Haonan at a glance, and immediately smiled evilly and pushed Chen Xue into Lu Haonan's arms.

"Brother, I can return my sister-in-law to you!"

Lu Manman showed rare cuteness and cuteness. She looked at the two people hugging each other and ran back to the house laughing.

However, when Lu Manman passed by Lu Haonan, he smelled a rouge fragrance that did not belong to Chen Xue.

Lu Manman frowned for a moment and subconsciously glanced at Lu Haonan again.

Just because Lu Manman has been a beauty blogger for many years, she can clearly distinguish the taste, texture, and ingredients of various cosmetics.

So Lu Manman immediately smelled the rouge smell on Lu Haonan's body. It was rouge and gouache that Chen Xue had never experienced before.

Lu Manman's mind sank, thinking that Lu Haonan was going to socialize tonight, so he might have rubbed it on a dancer or someone else.

Thinking of this, Lu Manman did not go into details further. Seeing Chen Xue's happy face, Lu Manman felt relieved.

In the study room of Taifu's Mansion, Lu Nanchang held a brush in his hand, writing and drawing on the rice paper in a relaxed and relaxed manner, and finally stamped his seal firmly on the flower scroll.

Lu Nanchang appreciated it carefully and nodded with satisfaction.

"Later, send this painting to Madam." Lu Nanchang has always been famous for his literary talent, and Li Wenpei was also moved by one of Lu Nanchang's poems. Lu Xiyao inherited Lu Nanchang's talent and became the capital of Beijing. The first talented woman.

"Yes!"

The boy carefully helped Lu Nanchang put away the scroll. The guard on the side stepped forward and stood beside Lu Nanchang with his head down.

"Sir, the second young lady and the young mistress are back."

Lu Nanchang nodded casually and walked to Li Wenpei's yard without caring.

"grown ups!"

The guard hesitated for a while and continued to report.

"Sir, according to the report from our spies, the eldest lady made an appointment with Prince An Xian, and then the two separated. Prince An Xian followed the second young lady all the way, and he did not leave until the second young lady returned home."

After hearing the end, Lu Nanchang's face changed again and again, and finally he laughed happily.

"Okay! Very good! Lu Manman, you really didn't disappoint me!"

Lu Manman was about to leave the house on the spot, and Lu Nanchang thought that Lu Manman had an appointment with Su Chenxu. He never thought that it was Lu Xiyao who made an appointment with Su Chenxu in the end!

But! ! !

However, Su Chenxu chose to follow Lu Manman silently and protect him secretly!
"It seems that our Tutor's Mansion will have a happy event soon!"

If Lu Manman was worthless, Lu Nanchang would find any excuse or reason to send Lu Manman back to Ciyun Temple, but now Lu Manman has successfully attracted Su Chenxu's attention.

Lu Nanchang's eyes narrowed, his dark eyes darkened, and then he smiled coldly.

"Watch the eldest lady, don't let her leave the house at will recently!"

Lu Xiyao is the princess he trained with his own hands, but he must no longer let Lu Xiyao act as he pleases.

Lu Xiyao must be the Crown Princess, and Lu Manman must be the Crown Princess An Xian! ! !

"Yes!"

Not long after Lu Nanchang ordered him to leave, the boy at the door rushed over and blocked Lu Nanchang's way.

The voice was urgent and shouted.

"Sir! It's not good!"

"It's bad! The young master was taken away at the door!!!"

Lu Nanchang stopped and was slightly stunned. Who is so brave?

How dare you arrest someone at the gate of Taifu's mansion! ! !
"Sir, the wooden pile on the top floor of Wangxing Pavilion fell. Something happened to the emperor and the imperial concubine. The people from Jin Yiwei arrested the young master overnight!"

"It was said that the Ministry of Industry was suspected of cutting corners and causing accidents in the project. I heard...I heard that the emperor was injured..."

"What???"

Lu Nanchang's face turned pale instantly. The emperor was injured. This was a big deal!
Wangxing Pavilion was managed by Lu Haonan. Now that such a big accident has occurred, it might involve the Taifu Mansion and the robbery of the Nine Clan.

"How could this be?"

Lu Nanchang is well aware of Lu Haonan's ability, and there is absolutely no way he would cut corners, otherwise Lu Haonan would not be able to serve as Minister of Industry at such a young age.

This position, even with Lu Nanchang's identity and background, may not allow Lu Haonan to take it!
For a time, the news spread quickly in the Taifu Mansion, and even Lu Manman, who was always disliked by others, also got the news.

Lu Manman looked at Xiaoxue and listened to Xiaoxue's excited description of the scene at that time. Lu Manman didn't listen to a word.

I only heard one sentence, "The young lady fainted from crying..."

The two of them were still chatting with each other at the door. Chen Xue watched Lu Haonan being taken away with her own eyes. How worried should Chen Xue be...

Lu Manman didn't have time to think too much and ran directly to Chen Xue's yard to visit. She saw that the yard was already in a mess and no one cared about Chen Xue's safety.
