MTL - Reborn Mistress’ Scumbag Manual-Chapter 290 frank
Chapter 290 Confession
Qiujia, Wei Chen, or should be Qiu Weichen, when he passed by the hall, he saw Qiu Chengwu standing motionless under the lamp.
Qiu Weichen is not considered very old in the Qiu family, but his seniority is that of the oldest generation, the same generation as the current head of the Qiu family, Mr. Qiu.
Qiu Chengwu had to obediently call him uncle in front of him.
Although this junior has a cold temperament since he was a child, Qiu Weichen regards him much more pleasingly than other Qiu family children.
He approached and asked: "What? Your grandfather's 80th birthday tomorrow, why don't you take a good rest and celebrate his birthday tomorrow, blowing the cold wind here?"
Seeing him, Qiu Chengwu bowed his head and said, "Uncle."
Qiu Weichen waved his hand: "Forget it, I'm younger than your father, don't call me so old."
Qiu Chengwu nodded.
Seeing that his face was indifferent and expressionless, Qiu Weichen annoyed himself: "When will your face change? It is good-looking, but the same expression since childhood, the muscles are not stiff?"
Although he said it, he also knew that Qiu Chengwu was already extremely gentle in front of him. It would be difficult for him to say one more word if he was replaced by a peer.
Qiu Chengwu just nodded without making a sound.
Qiu Weichen asked: "What are you doing here? I heard that you sent an invitation to that girl Lu Nan, and now you are thinking about how to meet her tomorrow?"
Qiu Chengwu's eyes moved slightly, obviously he was right. Qiu Weichen didn't care whether he answered or not, and said to himself: "That girl has someone she likes, no matter how hard you try, it's useless. Why did you go when you didn't like that kid from the Que family before? I think that girl is Treat you as a friend, if you still want to continue to get along with her, then I advise you not to talk nonsense tomorrow."
Qiu Chengwu looked at him with a slightly surprised expression.
Qiu Weichen rolled his eyes: "What are you looking at? You young people are getting worse than the other."
Qiu Chengwu said softly at the corner of his mouth: "Thank you uncle for reminding me. I know."
"As long as you know it. I don't want to say anything superfluous, you young people can go tossing around on your own." Qiu Weichen waved his hand, turned and left.
Qiu Chengwu looked at his seemingly insignificant uncle with rare respect in his eyes. This uncle's sense is very keen, although he is not sure, but he does want to tell Lu Nan something tomorrow.
Lu Nan······
After all, it’s because the person is wrong.
Obviously he knew her first, but in the end it had nothing to do with him.
He lowered his eyelashes and turned back.
······
On the second day, the autumn family birthday banquet was a sensational banquet in the upper circles of the entire imperial capital.
The Qiu family has become stronger and stronger over the years, and the gap with the Que family has been narrowing year by year, but the entire Qiu family, like their young patriarch, has become more and more low-key and secretive. It is rare to hold such a high-profile birthday banquet.
Many people consciously or intentionally think of Qiu Chengwu who has no marriage contract so far.
Qiu Chengwu is already twenty-six years old, although he is not old, he is not young either.
Perhaps the old man of the Qiu family was in a hurry and wanted to take this opportunity to choose a future mistress of the Qiu family for Qiu Chengwu.
The banquets of the great families are not much different from the banquets of the old big families. No matter what the main purpose is, as long as the younger generation is involved, it will always develop towards marriage.
Therefore, on the second day, all the aristocratic families who received the invitation brought their children. There were girls of school age in the family, and they were dressed up as if they were fighting.
The corner of the banquet. After meeting Mr. Qiu at Qiu's house early, Que Rui stood in a corner with her brother. Her brother firmly suppressed her and did not allow her to go to Qiu Chengwu.
Que Rui is annoyed when she sees Que Yin now. She thinks that this brother doesn't even want her biological sister because he likes Lu Nan. She clearly knows that she likes Brother Chengwu, and she knows that she has been planning to dress up for a few days ago, and wants to meet Brother Chengwu in the most beautiful posture.
As a result, her brother didn't allow it!
She raised her neck and said angrily, "Are you my brother?" Because it was at a banquet, her upbringing didn't allow her to shout, so her voice was a little low, and it couldn't have any deterrent effect.
Que Yin was a little irritable.
It's been so long, and I've told her countless times to be sensible and not to make trouble, but he didn't pay attention a few days ago, and this girl secretly ran to meet Mu Gulan, and even accepted Mu Gulan's gift.
Lu Nan has established a relationship with Que Ze, and there will be no more Mu Gulan in the future. Que Rui's involvement in it is simply death!
He grabbed Que Rui's arm and said displeasedly: "Que Rui, don't forget what you promised me a few days ago, I brought you here today!"
Que Rui struggled: "You only said to let me listen to you, but you didn't say that I was not allowed to see Brother Chengwu! I came to the birthday banquet to meet Brother Chengwu, and you don't allow me to see him. What's the point! You're a liar!"
"You!" Que Yin wanted to curse!
Qiu Chengwu and Mu Gulan, he didn't know how many times he had emphasized to Que Rui that he should stay away from these two people! But she didn't say stay away, both of them rushed to get together! He was out of his mind before he agreed to take her to participate today!
Que Rui was even angrier than him, struggling hard. But with her small arms and legs, she couldn't compete with her brother at all.
At this time, the banquet was quiet.
The two quarreling were a little far away, so they didn't notice it immediately, but the silence in the hall caught their attention.
Que Yin turned his face to the side and looked back, and saw Lu Nan appearing at the banquet.
The hall was quiet because of her presence.
His heart sank, and he secretly exclaimed that something bad might happen.
Born in the most important family, although Lu Nan is very capable, few know it. And her background is not something these aristocratic families value at all. In the eyes of the aristocratic families, Lu Nan is just an actor, even if there is Que Ze, they can't change their minds.
Sure enough, the banquet was only quiet for a moment, and then they started whispering, and the eyes that fell on Lu Nan were contemptuous and disdainful.
Lu Nan's expression remained unchanged. When Qiu Chengwu saw her, he took her to meet the old man of the Qiu family to celebrate his birthday.
Que Yin expected this, Lu Nan didn't care about other people's opinions at all, unless she offended her, she wouldn't even bother to take a second look. What made him feel bad was that Que Ze also came today.
Not only Que Ze, but also Mu Gulan.
Now that the three people in the center of the story are all together, I'm afraid something will happen.
······
Lu Nan saw Qiu Chengwu, and out of courtesy, he followed him to meet Mr. Qiu.
Qiu Chengwu said in a low voice: "Grandpa has a bad temper, don't be angry." He lowered his eyebrows, and when he was in front of Lu Nan, the layer of indifference and dust was not visible at all, only a little gentle, his eyelashes trembled, and his words were not face-like. Not so much with others.
Lu Nan nodded: "No, you can rest assured about this."
Qiu Chengwu couldn't help curling his lips.
He was naturally relieved. He knew exactly what kind of person she was.
The old man of the Qiu family is eighty years old. Although his body is still very healthy, he is quite old after all, so he didn't go to the banquet hall. If some people come to participate, they will save their identity, and if they are enough, they will go to see the old man to celebrate his birthday.
Those who are not of sufficient status will be entertained by other Qiu family members in the banquet hall outside.
When Lu Nan saw the old man, the room was extremely dark, with only a little light from the sky.
She was stunned when she saw the old man for the first time.
It turned out to be the old gentleman who helped her forge the family emblem.
She knew in her previous life that this old gentleman's identity was very unusual. He was probably the elder of a certain family among the Eight Great Aristocratic Family, but she never expected that he would be the old patriarch of the Qiu family.
Qiu Chengwu saw her surprised expression and asked, "Have you met your grandfather before?"
Lu Nan frowned and smiled, "I've seen it. I've seen it a long time ago."
Old man Qiu hunched his back, his voice was hoarse, and there was joy in it: "Thanks to this little girl, I can live a few more years."
Qiucheng Wuming understood, and said, "Your recovery is related to her."
"Yeah. How's the girl doing?" Mr. Qiu looked at Lu Nan, his cloudy eyes sparkling.
Although Lu Nan's posture is well-behaved, he is neither humble nor overbearing, and said with a smile: "Not bad."
"It's good enough. Old man, I heard that you're with that kid from the Que family?" Mr. Qiu stared at Lu Nan openly, but secretly looked at Qiu Chengwu. However, Qiu Chengwu was not as sad as he expected, only extremely calm.
Lu Nan just responded with a smile: "Yes."
"Oh. Forget it, that kid from the Que family is also very good. You young people, go out into your world. Maybe my old man will have a chance to see that day." His voice was hoarse and rough, but it contained the "" in the conversation. Future" endless expectations.
Lu Nan still replied: "You will."
The old man stared into her eyes for a while, then waved his hand: "Okay, you young people, go and play. People get tired easily when they are old, so the old man won't entertain you. Chengwu, go entertain the guests."
Qiu Chengwu nodded, and led Lu Nan out of the room.
Lu Nan asked: "Mr. Qiu is not in good health, is there any trauma?"
Akishiro Wu replied: "Yes. I was injured in my early years, and now I have a recurrence."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Lu Nan, his eyelashes trembling even more, and slowly sank his breath, saying, "I have something that I want to tell you. Let's change places."
Lu Nan naturally had no objection, led by Qiu Chengwu to a private pavilion in the backyard.
After he stood firmly, the first call he made was: "Lu Lan."
Lu Nan didn't pay attention yet.
Lan and Nan have very similar pronunciations, and they can't be distinguished if you don't pay attention.
However, Qiu Chengwu called her a title, which shocked her.
Qiu Chengwu stared at her, and called again softly: "Your Highness..."
Lu Nan was startled, looked at him and asked, "What was your name just now?"
Seeing her like this, Qiu Chengwu's heavy heart was much more relaxed, and he felt a little funny. He said: "Your Highness, my memory has recovered."
Lu Nan: "What?"
Qiu Chengwu curled his lips: "Your Highness is willing to treat me as a close friend. Didn't you recognize me as Song Qingcheng?"
Lu Nan: "The memory has recovered?" She suddenly came back to her senses, her eyes widened slightly, both surprised and pleasantly surprised: "Why did it suddenly recover?"
It is impossible for Qiu Chengwu to let Lu Nan know the risk he took, so he only smiled slightly: "It may be that the blood power has strengthened again, so the memory has been restored."
Looking at him like this, Lu Nan believed even more.
Indeed, such Qiu Chengwu is more like Song Qingcheng. Lin Cheng's appearance as a son of a noble family is 100% like that of Song Qingcheng.
Song Qingcheng is a cold and cold person, but he treats others with gentleness and courtesy. It is not like Qiu Chengwu is now very weak in feelings.
Seeing him recovering, she couldn't help but smile: "What? Remember all of it, or part of it?"
Qiu Chengwu said: "I remember everything. That's why I want to tell His Highness something today."
Lu Nan waved his hand: "You should just call him Lu Nan. Your Highness is too far away, so I'm not used to it."
The arc of Qiu Chengwu's mouth couldn't help but rise even bigger.
It was like this in the past, Lu Nan asked him to call her by her name, but he preferred to call her His Highness.
He didn't want her name to be known by too many people, so it was impossible to tell her such a secret mind.
But this time, he didn't persist like in his previous life. He said: "Okay."
As he spoke, his face darkened, and he said: "At the time when you had an accident, I searched for the murderer for a long time, but I didn't have a clue. But something happened later, and I want to tell you to draw your attention."
"Do you remember the Jun family?"
Lu Nan thought for a while and said, "Aristocratic family?"
"Yes, the Jun family is as famous as our Song family." He thought of something bad, and his tone became more and more serious: "The Jun family was destroyed by Jun Yu at first, and then Jun Yu disappeared. But after your accident , Jun Yu suddenly appeared out of nowhere and opened your coffin before you entered the mausoleum."
Lu Nan frowned, and said, "My body is not in the coffin."
"Yes, so he pried it open and took a look, then ran away immediately. But in less than two years, he reappeared, took a few people and ran into the Lu Family Ancestral Hall, where he found your body." He said here , seems very unbelievable. He could never have imagined that the highly respected Lu family's strongest spiritual girl would be treated like that by the Lu family after her death, and she would not even be allowed to bury her body.
Lu Nan nodded, his expression normal: "I know."
Qiu Chengwu stared at her expression, not knowing what to say for a moment. As early as the beginning, he knew that the Lu family was different from other families, and the rules and behaviors were not understandable by ordinary people.
But not even putting the corpse in the coffin is really... a bit too much.
However, Lu Nan's indifferent expression made it hard for him to criticize. Lu Nan grew up in Lu's family. In her opinion, maybe this is nothing.
He paused, skipped this point, and continued: "I wasn't there at the time, I just heard someone tell me... I don't know how he broke into the heavily guarded Lu's house, but he escaped after that He came out, and came back within two months... When he came back again, he took the army he didn't know where he brought, flattened the imperial capital, broke into the Lu family, killed all the side branches, and Lu's family. The elders in the family, as well as your father and uncle, took only a few children and left."
His army appeared very abruptly and strangely. It was impossible for the sergeants stationed in the imperial city to not notice anything strange about the sudden appearance of such a large number of soldiers and horses near the imperial capital. However, the facts were so, he had no choice but to believe it before his eyes.
Because of Lu Nan's existence, he knew that there is power beyond ordinary people in this world, so he naturally thought that Jun Yu probably got such power.
But why Jun Yu wanted to find Lu Lan's body, he couldn't understand.
