After leaving the house, Elder Lu took a very inconspicuous donkey cart back to his mansion.

Mr. Lu was reclining on the rocking chair in the study, recuperating when the voices of the maids greeting him suddenly came to his ears.

He quickly stood up, straightened his clothes briefly and went out.

"Father." He bowed and saluted.

Elder Lu was very angry when he saw that his eyes were groggy and he looked like he had just woken up.

He is already over sixty years old. To put it bluntly, how many days can he live in this life?

If it weren't for the future of his children and grandchildren, why would he be busy scheming all day long?

They are quite good, one and two of them are already taking care of themselves at such a young age!

Elder Lu gave Mr. Lu a disgusted look, flicked his sleeves and walked into the study.

Mr. Lu felt confused and quickly followed in.

"Father, didn't you go to find Chunxiao? Why..."

He really wanted to scold his mother.

I used to think that my father was indecisive and hesitant and not a person who wanted to do big things.

I never thought that after being stimulated by the incident between Tan's mother and son, my temper would really get worse!

Elder Lu said, "You don't need to worry about my father's affairs. Is there any progress on your side?"

Mr. Lu said: "Juan Niang is still moving around. This kind of thing cannot be rushed."

"Confused!" Elder Lu scolded: "If we don't take advantage of Shangguan Nanxiao's absence in Ruoshui City to get things done, we will never get it done again!"

Mr. Lu still wanted to argue, but there was a burst of messy footsteps outside the door.

The two of them looked up and saw Mrs. Lu pushing open the door and entering.

"Master..." As soon as she said these two words, she saw her father-in-law sitting behind the desk.

"Father." Mrs. Lu quickly smiled and walked over slowly to salute.

Elder Lu said: "You have always been calm and calm, why are you in such a hurry today?"

Mrs. Lu hurriedly said: "My daughter-in-law just heard that the Lord of Shangguan City has returned, so she came here to inform her husband."

"Shangguan Nanxiao is back?" Mr. Lu interrupted her.

"Yes, my nephew saw with his own eyes that Shangguan Nanxiao returned to the city with a young man."

"Young man..." Elder Lu stroked his goatee: "It must be her husband-in-law, Huan Yu, the second son of the Huan family."

"Father..." Mr. Lu called.

Elder Lu raised his hand: "Mother Juan, what's going on with the Li family?"

Dr. Lu said: "Father, don't worry, she has had such a plan for a long time, but she just lacks the strength.

With our support behind her, she will definitely choose to give it a go."

Elder Lu nodded: "No one in her position would be willing to accept it. You must work harder to stoke the fire."

The couple should be together.

Elder Lu added: "Juan Niang must be more careful in her actions and try not to let others realize too early that this matter was planned by our Lu family."

"Father, don't worry, I have never appeared in front of Mrs. Li. The only ones who came to persuade her were my cousin and a few of her friends."

Elder Lu's complexion finally looked better.

Mr. Lu took the opportunity and said: "Father, over there at Chunxiao..."

"Don't worry, Chunxiao's beauty is so outstanding, and she is the best at observing people's emotions. It shouldn't be a big problem to coax Cao Kun."

Mr. Lu glanced at his wife and did not continue to ask.

Chunxiao's appearance is certainly good, but more importantly, she is very similar to a girl named Yin from Wei Jing.

It is said that Cao Kun dared to fight with Xiao Bi, Shangguan Nanxiao, the princess of Yiyang County, in order to snatch Miss Yin.

Although the two have now shaken hands and made peace, Cao Kun still has an unforgettable memory of Miss Yin. Otherwise, why would he not get married at the age of twenty?

After living in Ruoshui City for more than two years, there are more than a hundred girls who are interested in him, but he treats everyone with sincerity. Doesn't that explain the problem?

Dr. Lu said: "Father, what should we do next?"

Elder Lu said: "Since Shangguan Nanxiao has returned, it is not appropriate to delay this matter any longer.

You go make arrangements and let Mr. Li take action as soon as possible."

"Yes." Mrs. Lu responded.

Huan Yu returned to the Quail Garden just before the sun set.

Xiao Bi poured him a cup of tea and then asked about the results of the investigation.

Huan Yu drank half a cup of tea with her hand, and then said: "I went to Cao Kun's residence first, and as expected, as Mr. Liang said, there was nothing suspicious.

Later, I went to interrogate several guards, and they said that Cao Kun especially likes to go out of the house recently, and he only comes back after dinner several times.

Seeing that they couldn't tell me how tall they were, I went to the cavalry camp.

I heard from the cavalry that Cao Kun often mentioned a restaurant that had recently opened in the south of the city, called Yangui Tower, and that the master chef cooked Wei Jing cuisine.

I think that since Cao Kun left Beijing for two years, he will definitely miss the food in his hometown. The few times he had dinner out, this must be the place he went to.

I went to Yangui Tower and asked about the shopkeeper and the waiters there. It turned out that Cao Kun had eaten there.

But in the past month, he has gone less often. He only went to buy a few special dishes on the 13th day of the first lunar month and took them away in a large food box."

Xiao Bi felt a little dizzy after hearing this.

What on earth is Cao Kun doing?

It's not strange to miss my hometown, it's not strange to go to Yangui Tower for dinner, but it's very strange to bring food in a big food box.

He is a single man and cannot make friends casually because of his status.

Ordering food from a restaurant can only be for drinking with friends, but who will he go to?

Also, Brother Qinghan just said that on the 13th day of the first lunar month, he accompanied Sister Menghan to frame calligraphy and paintings, and met Cao Kun on the street. He said he was going to the Silver House.

The silver shop sells all kinds of jewelry, which are most suitable as gifts for women.

And those delicious dishes are suitable for two people to have a drink together.

In other words, the thirteenth day of the first lunar month should be a certain woman’s birthday!

Seeing her eyes gradually regaining clarity, Huan Yu said: "You must have guessed that Cao Kun must have the woman he likes.

And the thirteenth day of the first lunar month should be the woman's birthday.

The woman probably didn't like to show off, so Cao Kun went to the Silver Building to buy gifts, and then went to the Yangui Building to order some special dishes, intending to celebrate her birthday alone with the woman."

Xiao Bi smiled and said, "Well, you Cao Qufei, you keep saying that your parents should make the final decision on the marriage, and you also said that you are determined not to offend the girls from Ruoshui City. Now you are slapped in the face, aren't you?"

Huan Yu couldn't help but laugh.

"It's fine if he is slapped in the face by himself. I am worried that he will be slapped in the face by others."

Xiao Bi said: "He must be playing a trick on the American side. If he is really in love with that woman, why not bring her directly to everyone to get to know him?"

He's not married yet, so is he still worried that his friends will make irresponsible remarks?"

Huan Yu said: "The question is who will use a honey trap on him?"
