Chapter 431: Does Miss Yang want to return to her husband?
"What are you doing?" Lu Yan looked at Yang Manman.
"What did you not finish saying today? What does your lateness have to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Yang Manman asked directly.
When Lu Yan heard this, she was stunned at first, then she smiled contemptuously.
"What a joke! Why am I late? Does it have anything to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion? It has nothing to do with you. Why? Do I have to report my affairs to you?"
Yang Manman was simply ridiculous. What qualifications did she have to run up to him and block his way and ask these questions?
Yang Manman felt guilty for a moment, but soon she regained her confidence.
"Lü Yan, if you don't want me to mess up your birthday party, you'd better tell me the truth. Otherwise, I have plenty of ways to make you suffer!"
The smile on Lu Yan's face turned cold.
Jiang Suining looked at Yang Manman's expression and suddenly laughed.
"Miss Yang, are you planning to go back to your old lover?"
These words stunned Yang Manman, and she immediately denied it.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How is this possible?"
"Then why are you so concerned about the news of the Prime Minister's Mansion? And the way you speak, it seems as if you are half the master of the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Jiang Suining looked at Yang Manman and chuckled.
"But even if Miss Yang wants to go back to her husband, it's understandable. After all, the Duke's Mansion has fallen, and the jewelry you stole won't last long after pawning. It's normal for you to want to find someone else to rely on. But unfortunately, I don't know if the Prime Minister's Mansion can still accept you now after what happened before."
"How could they accept her again?" Lu Yan took over Jiang Suining's words, speaking with certainty and sarcasm, "Let alone all the previous grievances, Miss Yang's current reputation alone is enough to scare everyone away. How could the Prime Minister's Mansion take the initiative to find a pool of mud to stick on the lintel of the door?"
"Lü Yan, keep your mouth shut!"
Yang Manman was furious and grabbed Lu Yan's arm, raising her hand to hit her, but the slap was firmly blocked by Jiang Suining.
"I advise you to think carefully. If you slap someone like that, and the Grand Tutor's Mansion holds you accountable, are you worthy of it?"
Yang Manman's raised hand trembled.
"And if you don't have such thoughts, why bother getting angry?" Jiang Suining let go of Yang Manman, certain that she would not slap him.
Her eyes were sharp, and when they fell on Yang Manman, they were like a sharp dagger that could easily cut through her disguise.
Yang Manman was suddenly flustered by this look.
Lu Yan shook off Yang Manman's hand, "Yang Manman, since you are still in the palace, I won't bother with you this time, but if you dare to attack me again, even if this slap doesn't fall, I will make you pay for it."
As she spoke, Lu Yan looked at Yang Manman's expression and suddenly laughed again.
"But I can answer your doubts. At the Prime Minister's Mansion, Li Zheng's arranged marriage fell through some time ago, and since then, he has repeatedly failed to get married. So he has set his sights on the Lu family. Today, Li Zheng's mother came to speak in person and promised a high betrothal gift, hoping that the marriage contract can be renewed for the sake of their past relationship..."
Yang Manman frowned, it was exactly as she thought!
So what does Lu Yan think?
Seeing Yang Manman's confusion, Lu Yan sneered.
"Don't worry. Not to mention that you have ruined Li Zheng, even if he is still the same as before, I don't like him anymore. How can someone who likes you be a good person? Of course, if you want to go back to him, you can take this opportunity to beg him. Maybe that stupid Li Zheng will be soft-hearted and allow you to have a concubine or something like that."
This is extremely impolite.
If it were in the past, considering her status and dignity, Lu Yan probably would not have said such humiliating or even harsh words.
But at this moment, looking at Yang Manman's nagging look, she didn't want to care about anything anymore. After saying this, she just felt extremely refreshed in her heart.
Words like "tongfang" and "concubine" stimulated Yang Manman, causing her to subconsciously raise her hand again. However, this time, before she could do anything, Lu Yan took the initiative to slap her in the face.
A crisp slapping sound was heard, and even Lu Yan herself was stunned for a moment.
Then, the feeling of joy that spread from her heart to her limbs suddenly surrounded her whole body.
She had wanted to give this slap for a long time, and now she finally got it done!
"You dare to hit me, you..."
"What if I beat you? If you have the guts, go and complain to the Queen. I want to see if you can win the case given your current status!"
After saying that, Lu Yan looked at Jiang Suining, "Suining, let's go!"
The two of them walked around Yang Manman and headed towards the palace gate.
Only Yang Manman was left standing there, with anger and humiliation surging in her heart. After a long time, she left with her fists clenched.
After Yang Manman left, a light laugh was heard.
Behind the rockery, Xiao Yi, who had seen everything just now, walked out, his expression full of amusement...
On the palace road.
Jiang Suining glanced sideways at Lu Yan.
Watching the other person walk away with his lips curled up, she asked with a smile, "Does it feel good to beat someone up?"
"It can be said to be very good." Lu Yan looked at the palm of her hand. Although it was still a little painful, it was like the sand stuck in her heart that was washed away all at once, and her whole heart felt refreshed.
Even the uncomfortable feeling he had every time he thought of or saw Yang Manman was suddenly diluted.
only……
"Sui Ning, do you think I have lost my dignity?"
"If dignity is only used to restrain oneself and make oneself suffer injustice, then there is no need to keep it. Moreover, today's incident was provoked by Yang Manman. However..."
The smile on Jiang Suining's face faded a little and turned into curiosity.
"The Prime Minister's Mansion actually had the nerve to go to the Lu family to renegotiate the engagement. Could something have happened?"
After what happened before, it would have been awkward for the two families to meet. Now that Li Zheng is disabled and his marriage proposals have failed many times, he still wants to target the Lu family under such circumstances. If he is not completely out of his mind, then he has other motives and is desperate, so he has the audacity to give it a try.
Lu Yan looked around the palace and spoke in a low voice after making sure that there was no one there.
"Something happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion. I don't know the details, but my grandfather said that Prime Minister Li's position is in danger and he urgently needs to win over help. That's why he shamelessly set his sights on the Lu family again."
"Early this morning, Li Zheng's mother came and kept talking about the affection between the two families in the past. She seemed to be determined to keep it a secret. She looked like she was determined to get the Lu family to help the Prime Minister's Mansion even if the engagement didn't go through. When she saw me leaving, she pulled me aside and kept saying how satisfied and guilty she was with me. If my grandfather hadn't issued an order to expel me, I'm afraid I would still be dragged by her and unable to leave."
Thinking of what happened in the morning, Lu Yan still felt unhappy.
They were unable to control Li Zheng before, and now he comes to complain about their misery. The Lu family is not stupid enough to jump into the fire pit for this so-called old friend!
Jiang Suining thought in his heart.
Judging from the previous life, the fall of the Prime Minister's Mansion is indeed not far away.
Soon after, Shen Yanxi will become the successor and the youngest prime minister in the history of Beiyang Kingdom.
Of course, she couldn't tell Lu Yan these words.
