Chapter 257 Revenge is just the beginning
Chapter 257 Revenge is just the beginning
When Cao Lanxin and Cao Lanzhi arrived at Lingshuiju and saw Lu Jiangnian, they both felt a little restrained.
After Lu Jiangnian made his meaning clear, the two sisters were dumbfounded.
Although they meant this, for a virgin girl to choose her own husband, this...
I'm so sorry.
Cao Lanxin said shyly, "Since Lanxin has handed this matter over to my cousin's wife, please help me judge it. We trust you."
Cao Lanzhi also blushed and nodded shyly.
She didn't have the nerve to comment on the strange man in the album.
Yuan Wanru shrugged: "Your eldest cousin said that he was afraid that my choice would not suit your tastes and you would blame me in the future."
"Since this is the person you're going to spend your life with, it's better to pick someone you like than someone you don't like."
"It's okay, just pick it yourself, no one will know."
"Once you have chosen, we will ask mother to come forward. Everything will be in accordance with the rules and regulations, and we will never ruin the reputation of the two cousins."
Having said that, Cao Lanxin and Cao Lanzhi still felt embarrassed and tried to refuse.
However, Lu Jiangnian was determined not to let Yuan Wanru touch that booklet again.
He quickly flipped open one of the pages and said, "This one is the eldest son of the family. His family is originally from the capital. Although his status is not high, his foundation is solid. He is also a good person. He is a good match for Third Cousin Cao."
Cao Lanxin's father is the head of the Cao family. The person Cao Lanxin marries must also have a certain say in order to help the Cao family.
The Liao family he chose had many young men in the clan, with deep and complex roots, but low official positions.
The Cao family is a relative of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. Although they are merchants, they are considered a good match.
As long as the Liao family is smart enough, they will not refuse this marriage.
Cao Lanxin only took a quick look and nodded: "Listen to my cousin."
Cao Lanzhi's marriage was arranged in the same way, and she soon chose the Wu family, which was slightly inferior to the Liao family.
After seeing off the Cao sisters, Yuan Wanru reached out to Lu Jiangnian and asked for the album: "You collected it with great difficulty. I'll take a good look at it. Lu Miao and Lu Rong at home are old enough, so you can help them review it."
"No need. Their marriages are taken care of by mother and second aunt. You don't have to worry about it."
Then, he went out directly with the album.
Yuan Wanru snorted, "Stingy."
Lu Jiangnian heard it.
So what if I'm stingy? Anyway, I won't let her watch it again.
This woman has a very wild heart.

On the other side, Liang Yusong also received the news that Liang Zhi was seriously injured.
She held the letter, her hands trembling, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
"Impossible, impossible, second brother's legs..."
The person who came to report the news was the guard beside Liang Zhi.
"We had a smooth journey, but when we reached Qinghuang Mountain, fifty or sixty people showed up and tried to rob us."
"The Second Young Master is not willing to suffer this loss. He is just about to reveal his identity to scare off the bandits."
"But they didn't give us any explanation and just started fighting. One of our brothers was killed in one blow."
"The Second Young Master couldn't swallow this anger, so the two sides started fighting."
Liang Yusong was filled with grief and anger: "Why didn't you protect my second brother!"
The guard lowered his head, his voice filled with bitterness: "Of course we tried our best to protect the Second Young Master, but the bandits kept shouting that they had to capture the leader first, and they kept surrounding the Second Young Master and attacking him."
"A few of them were exceptionally skilled in martial arts... and in the end, this is what happened."
"Now that the Second Young Master has collapsed in Qinghe County, please send someone to take him back to the capital for treatment."
Gao Peng took the letter from Liang Yusong tremblingly, and after reading it, he also burst into tears.
Treatment, how to treat?
All the legs were cut off.
What a sin!
However, after experiencing the storm, Gao Peng quickly calmed down.
"Understood. You go down and rest first. Tomorrow morning, you will take your men to Qinghe County to pick up the Second Young Master and bring him back to the capital."
After everyone left, Liang Yusong's eyes turned red, emitting bone-chilling hatred.
"Damn it, these people, all deserve to die."
"Why is my second brother's leg broken, but their legs are still fine?"
She tugged at Gao Peng's clothes, crying heartbreakingly, "Grandfather, what should we do with our second brother in the future? He hasn't even gotten married yet."
The relationship between Liang Yusong and Liang Zhi is the best.
From childhood to adulthood, Liang Zhi loved her, coaxed her and spoiled her. Whenever there was something good, he would think of her first.
How could Liang Yusong accept this cruel fact that her second brother, who loved her the most, had lost his legs and became a cripple!
"I hate it so much, I really hate it, why weren't their legs chopped off?"
"It's their incompetence that caused my second brother to suffer. Grandfather, kill them, kill them!"
Gao Peng patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Don't cry, the most important thing now is to bring your second brother back. He lost his legs, so we have to save his life."
"Your uncle is a good doctor. I'll ask him to leave tomorrow morning to pick someone up from Qinghe County."
It was freezing cold and Liang Zhicai was seriously injured, so we couldn't be careless.
"Besides, this matter needs to be investigated carefully."
"I'll have someone call the Second Prince over later and ask him to send someone to follow us and get to the bottom of this matter."
Liang Yusong stopped crying and stared at Gao Peng in amazement: "Grandfather, do you think someone set this up on purpose?"
"who is it?"
She gritted her teeth and asked these two words.
Gao Peng shook his head: "I don't know yet. I'll check it out and I'll be at ease."
"Don't worry, regardless of whether it was a setup or not, these bandits will pay the price for your second brother's leg."
-
There was a sudden surge of anger and sadness in my heart.
Lu Jiangnian covered his chest and calmed his thoughts.
It seems that Liang Yusong has already received the news.
He should be happy. As long as Liang Yusong is in pain, he will be happy.
What broken Gu? Don’t even think about affecting him.
Sure enough, after a while, Xuanying came in.
"The Second Prince received the news and went to the Gao family overnight."
Lu Jiangnian nodded: "Okay, just watch from a distance."
Destroying Liang Zhi was only the first step; Lu Jiangnian's revenge had just begun.
If the Liang family and Concubine Liang dare to plot against him, he will make them lose everything they care about and hope for step by step.
"How is Xuanfeng's arrangement going in Southern Xinjiang?"
Xuanying: "Everything is going according to plan. I believe the news will come after the New Year."
In short, after the New Year, the prince will have sufficient reasons to go to southern Xinjiang.
Lu Jiangnian was very satisfied: "Very good, go down."
Yuanshi, don't even think about leaving him behind and going to Southern Xinjiang alone.
-
Now that the candidate had been confirmed, Yuan Wanru quickened her pace and told Wang Min about the matter.
Lu Jiangnian made a rare trip to Rongshou Hall and had a good chat with Old Madam Lu for the whole morning behind closed doors.
Soon, the marriage between sisters Cao Lanxin and Cao Lanzhi was quietly settled.
Liang Yusong was so sad about Liang Zhi's situation that she didn't pay any attention to this matter at all.
In this way, when Liang Zhi was brought back to the capital, the Cao sisters had exchanged their engagement letters and the marriage was a foregone conclusion.
The big fat sheep of the Cao family flew away.
