Chapter 53 (1/2)

Lu Lingzhi went back to the side hall of the upper room. Everyone had already waited for him. He gave Mrs. Lu a gift with a smile, and then sat down beside her. ”The eldest lady's body is not in good condition. Let's take chopsticks.”

”Since your mother is not well, let her have a good rest.” Mrs. Lu said in a low voice.

”Grandmother, I'll call the doctor to see her tomorrow.” Lu Lingzhi nodded.

Lu jing'er suddenly whispered, ”isn't the third aunt a doctor?”

Pei took a faint look at Lu Jinger. With her sister-in-law's aversion to their third room, she certainly did not want to let her see a doctor, so she did not want to answer Lu Jinger's words.

Old lady Lu and Lu Lingzhi should not have heard of it.

”Uncle, I want to take my fourth brother to see Mr. Xu tomorrow.” Lu Lingzhi whispered to Lu Shiming.

”Old Xu?” Lu Shiming was a little surprised. ”He has already resigned. Is he still willing to accept students?”

Xu family is a century old family in Kyoto. He once served as Prime Minister for three times. Xu resigned half a year ago. At that time, Mo Rong Zhan had not yet ascended the throne. However, after Mo Rong Zhan became the new emperor, he wanted to invite old Xu to become prime minister.

Lu Lingzhi said with a smile, ”old Xu takes students by eye. He always takes his fourth younger brother to have a try.”

”I'm afraid Mr. Xu will dislike this boy for being too stupid.” Lu Shiming said with a smile.

Lu Xiangzhi protested, ”Dad, you can't say that about your son.”

All of a sudden, the atmosphere around them was brought up, and the others all returned to smile, as if they had forgotten the unhappiness brought about by Mrs. Lu not long ago.

Lu Jinger's face turned blue and white. She regretted that she should not have said that. She just thought that since the eldest lady didn't like the third room, the elder brother would not like it very much. She didn't expect that she would be ignored so thoroughly, as if she were a clown, and everyone would despise her.

For the first time, she felt so embarrassed.

However, no one cared what she felt at the moment.

Ye Zhen is sitting beside Lu Jinger. She doesn't care how embarrassed Lu Jinger's face is at this time. She just looks at Lu Xiangzhi thoughtfully.

She knew Xu Lao. When her father was still there, she often took her to the Xu family. Xu and his father were friends. She guessed that the reason why Xu refused to be an official was that the Ye family was destroyed.

My brother wants to learn from Mr. Xu, but he has little chance of success.

After the banquet was over, Ye Zhen looked for a chance to give Lu Xiangzhi a wink, motioned him not to return to the front yard so quickly, she had something to look for him.

Seeing the vivid expression on her sister's face, Lu Xiangzhi slowed down with a smile and went to her and asked in a low voice, ”what's the matter?”

”Come and see me before you go to see Mr. Xu tomorrow.” Zhen ye said in a low voice.

”What do you want?” Lu Xiangzhi asked jokingly, ”do you want to go together? That one won't work. Big brother won't agree

”Won't promise anything?” Lu Lingzhi came and just heard what Lu Xiangzhi said.

Ye Zhen skimmed his mouth and quietly glared at Lu Xiang.

Lu Xiangzhi said with a smile, ”elder brother, my sister wants to go with us to see old Xu.”
