LOL! Is this scumbag waiting for the New Year to divorce?

Chapter 219 Qu Ceyang Confessed

Lu Chenxi walked in crying, and kept wiping her tears with a handkerchief.

She had no makeup on her face and was wearing a plain dress. She looked frail. To put it nicely, she looked like a little white flower, but to put it bluntly, she looked like she was in mourning.

Before Lu Chenxi could speak, Lu Chenshuang looked at her and asked, "Why is grandma not feeling well?"

Lu Chenxi, who was sobbing, was stunned for a moment, then replied: "What are you talking about, sister? Grandmother is fine."

Lu Chenshuang frowned and asked: "If that's the case, why are you dressed like this? Is it short at home that you eat or short that you wear?

Although you are a concubine's daughter, you used to be arrogant and domineering because of your aunt, but after your aunt passed away, my mother never treated you badly. "

Lu Chenxi said aggrievedly, "I didn't. I just heard that my sister was injured and didn't feel like dressing up, so I wore something simple."

After saying that, he looked at Qu Ceyang and Ning Wan'er beside him, then bowed to them in a humble manner.

How could Lu Chenshuang not understand her thoughts?

He just came to disgust her. Maybe he knew that she had guests and came to make friends with them on purpose.

After all, most of the people she interacted with were families of fifth- and sixth-rank minor officials. Lu Chenxi was not qualified to make friends with old Beijing families like the Qu and Ning families, and she might not be able to curry favor with them even if she tried to curry favor with them.

Qu Ceyang and Ning Wan'er are both legitimate daughters of the family, and they have a lot of concubines and younger sisters. How could they not understand Lu Chenxi's little thoughts?

However, due to the sake of face, the two of them couldn't say anything and could only respond indifferently.

But Lu Chenxi acted as if she couldn't notice and followed the two of them very attentively.

Qu Ceyang couldn't stand it anymore and said directly: "Miss Lu Er, we have something to say to Shuang'er alone, can you step aside for a while?"

When Lu Chenxi heard this, she opened her mouth, but she stood up and walked away with red eyes.

Ning Wan'er looked at her from behind and said to Lu Chenshuang, "Your concubine sister is not an easy person to deal with, but she is also quite stupid.

I can smell the strong scent of ginger on the handkerchief."

When Qu Ceyang heard this, he also laughed out loud.

Lu Chenxi was afraid that she wouldn't be able to cry, so she smeared ginger juice on her handkerchief.

Lu Chenshuang said nonchalantly: "Thank you both for your kindness. Don't worry, she won't be able to cause any trouble."

After hearing what Lu Chenshuang said, Ning Wan'er and Qu Ceyang didn't know what to say.

Qu Ceyang gritted his teeth and said, "Shuang'er, I'm sorry."

Lu Chenshuang looked at her and smiled: "Your modesty is a bit weird, how can you be so sorry to me?"

Qu Ceyang said, "My purpose in making friends with you was not pure at first, I wanted to get close to you on purpose.

But later on I really wanted to be friends with you."

Lu Chenshuang said "oh", looked at her with some amusement and asked: "Then tell me, why did you approach me in the first place?"

Qu Ceyang looked at Lu Chenshuang and always felt that she already knew that he had other purposes.

So he quickly said, "I did it for my sister."

Lu Chenshuang raised an eyebrow and looked at her and asked, "For the Imperial Concubine?"

Lu Chenshuang knew a little about the Qu family.

Prime Minister Qu is the emperor's right-hand man and a staunch royalist.

He has two legitimate daughters. The eldest daughter, Qu Fengyang, has been in the palace for many years and is currently the emperor's concubine. But like the queen, she has no children.

Qu Ceyang approached him probably in order to let him treat Concubine Qu.

As expected, things turned out to be just as Lu Chenshuang thought. Qu Ceyang said, "My sister has been in the palace for many years but has no children. She is always suppressed by the queen.

Seeing her face grow old, Jun En is no longer with her.

My mother was always extremely worried every time she came back from the palace.

I overheard someone mention that you have excellent medical skills, so I wanted you to see my sister.

The palace is lonely, if she had a child, her life would be much easier in the future."

Lu Chenshuang asked again after hearing this: "If that's the case, why don't you ask Concubine Qu to order me to come to the palace or give me ten thousand taels of gold? I have clearly marked my price."

Upon hearing this, Qu Ceyang immediately retorted: "You are a miracle doctor, how can I insult you like this?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chenshuang thought to herself, you'd better insult me. It's only 12,000 taels of gold. Who would complain that the money is too much?

Seeing Lu Chenshuang's disapproving expression, Qu Ceyang spoke again, "Actually, there is another reason. My sister is worried that you will get along well with the Queen. The Queen has always been at odds with her, and she is worried that you will not treat her."

Lu Chenshuang sighed and said, "I really don't know where you came to this conclusion.

Apart from seeing the Queen a few times, I have no personal relationship with her."

Qu Ceyang said with a face full of shame: "You didn't know it before, but no matter what, you have done a favor to the queen. How could she kill you?"

Lu Chenshuang didn't want to continue this topic, so she said, "Wait until I recover from my injury, then I'll go see the Imperial Concubine.

But I can’t guarantee whether she can get pregnant before I meet the queen.”

Qu Ceyang said happily: "Okay, okay, okay. This is natural.

Whether you can make my sister pregnant or not, our Qu family will be grateful to you."

Lu Chenshuang didn't need their gratitude, she just hoped that Concubine Qu would not try to kill her like the Queen did.

Alas, being a doctor is really tiring, but she can't bear to ignore the patients who need her help.

Qu Ceyang and Ning Wan'er didn't stay here for long before leaving.

After a few more days, Lu Chenshuang's minor injury was almost healed.

There is finally news about the Queen.

I heard that some court officials reported to the Queen that the Empress was childless and immoral, and that she suppressed concubines in the harem and harmed the royal heirs.

Moreover, the Zhou family committed such a big mistake because of the queen's connivance and protection, and the queen should be held responsible for this.

Suddenly, the calls in the court to depose the queen became increasingly louder.

However, the emperor was still hesitant because of his long-standing relationship with the queen.

It was not until the empress dowager came forward to put pressure on the emperor that he finally made a decision and formally issued an edict to depose the empress.

When Lin told Lu Chen the news, she didn't react much.

She had actually expected the queen to be deposed. Even if Mu Hansu had not taken action, the childless queen in the central palace would not be able to hold on to the throne if the Zhou family fell.

Lin said excitedly: "I heard from your father that King Zhan made a lot of efforts in this matter."

Lu Chenshuang glanced at Lin teasingly and said, "When did mom and dad get so close?"

Lin rolled her eyes at her and said, "You little girl actually dared to tease your mother."

Seeing this, Lu Chenshuang quickly begged for mercy.

Lin quickly changed the subject and said, "I don't know who spread the news of your injury. Recently, the mansion has received many invitations to visit you, but mother declined them all on the grounds that you need to rest."

Lu Chenshuang nodded and felt that Lin was doing the right thing. It would be better not to create topics at this critical moment.
