Chapter 105 Meeting the Parents
Seeing Meng Nianrui's determined eyes, Xie Shuyao felt mixed emotions.
Now that the decision has been made, it is not convenient for her to say anything more.
Just as the two were talking in silence, Xiaoshuang came in, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Meng Nianrui glanced at her and said, "It's okay, go ahead."
Xiao Shuang said truthfully, "It was Lord Lu. He said he would pick you up to celebrate the Qiqiao Festival. The carriage has already arrived at the door."
After saying that, she waved to the door.
The next second, a group of people entered the house in an orderly manner, each holding a pot of flowers, and placed them neatly after entering the house.
The leader said, "This is a token of the master's kindness. He said that flowers are good for the eyes, so he specially asked me to bring it to the girl."
When she came in, Meng Nianrui cried many times. Her eyes were probably hurt from crying and were always a little red.
She didn't expect that Lu Beixiao would even notice this.
The flowers that Lu Beixiao sent were all growing well. They were obviously carefully cared for and filled the whole room, making people feel as if they were in a garden. It was quite spectacular.
Xie Shuyao slightly put aside her previous worries. Although she didn't know what kind of person he was, it seemed that he was caring.
Thinking of this, Xie Shuyao suddenly had an idea. Lu Beixiao was unemployed now anyway, so why not try to win him over?
He had no friendship with Pei Jingyi before, but now he does.
Thinking of this, Xie Shuyao pulled Meng Nianrui aside and asked quietly: "Can you do me a favor?"
*
The two of them whispered for a long time, and Meng Nianrui understood it, but she was not sure if she could help.
Lu Beixiao helped her get revenge and solved the problem of the Fan family, but he also got into a lot of trouble.
It is not difficult to imagine what kind of storm will be stirred up in the capital when the two get married.
If I could leave the capital, maybe there would be a turning point.
She hesitated and said, "Let me give it a try and test the waters first. I'll tell you when I have some news."
*
When leaving, Meng Nianrui invited Xie Shuyao to go with him and dropped her off in an alley closest to the Marquis' Mansion.
When Meng Nianrui arrived at the Lu Mansion, she heard faint sounds of quarreling coming from the backyard as soon as she entered the door.
"Well, you little brat, do you know how long I have been raising those flowers? You said you wanted to give them away, and you even emptied them all!"
Lu Beixiao jumped and hopped to avoid the feather duster in Lu's mother's hand, and said awkwardly: "It's not like that thing can't grow. Just keep raising it."
"You are good at offering gifts to Buddha, it's easy for you to say it!"
While the two were arguing, Lu Qinghuan hurriedly shouted, "Brother, someone seems to be coming!"
Lu Beixiao immediately became serious, held down Mother Lu, and said in a pleading tone: "Mom, people are here, please, give me some face."
Mother Lu was not an ignorant person. After hearing this, she took two breaths and glared at him while adjusting the hairpin on her head.
When Meng Nianrui went in, her palms were wet.
Although I didn't hear clearly what the two were arguing about, I couldn't guarantee that it was related to her.
Future mother-in-law and sister-in-law, she felt scared just hearing these two words.
After she walked in, she was hesitating about how to greet him when she saw Lu Beixiao striding over, holding her hand and introducing him:
"My mother, my sister, and my father are on official business. They are not here today, but they will definitely be back on the day of the engagement."
After introducing them, Lu Beixiao put his arm around Meng Nianrui's shoulders and said loudly, "This is Nianrui, you all know her."
Meng Nianrui's heart was beating like a drum, and she greeted awkwardly, "Hello, auntie, hello, sister."
Of course they knew each other. They all went when Meng Nianrui and Xie Xun got married.
In this situation, it would be a lie to say it wasn't awkward.
Lu Beixiao cleared his throat and winked at Mother Lu.
Mother Lu also coughed uncomfortably, and her tone was much softer than when she was scolding Lu Beixiao just now: "Come in quickly, the meal is ready."
The meal was quite peaceful, even the usually cheerful Lu Qinghuan spoke less.
After the meal, while Lu Beixiao and Lu Qinghuan were away, Mother Lu walked over to Meng Nianrui and said in a light tone, "Come with me."
