Lu Zhanyan's eyes flashed with an extremely cold light, and his voice was chilling: "Yes, the name of the Xiangfu was wrong, and the name of the Anguo Mansion was just written wrong. Today is my brother's wedding, what? Do you have any objection?" "No, no, we're just curious!" The man felt uncomfortable being stared at and immediately gave in. When one person lost, naturally, someone else spoke up: "It is obvious that Prime Minister Su has his eyes on Lu Zhuangyuan, so he specially sent his eldest daughter to show his respect. Why is it that Lu Zhuangyuan dislikes Miss Lu's appearance, so he dares not acknowledge this marriage and lets your brother handle this marriage?" "That's right. Everyone praises the Duke's eldest son for his talent and beauty, his bright and clear appearance, and his upright conduct. Who would have thought that such a dignified top scholar is a person who likes colors? This official is really surprised." The next person to speak was Censor Chen, who had also been troubled by the Anguo Mansion in the past, so now that he had found an opportunity to criticize, he was naturally not polite. Lu Zhanyan had a cold expression on his face and was about to retort. "This is Mr. Chen, the Censor?" Lu Zhanxing stepped forward cynically and said, "As a Censor, before discussing others, you should look at yourself first. My brother is naturally not as pretty as you. After all, who would force themselves on their daughter when they see their young and beautiful daughter?" "You are talking nonsense!" Censor Chen's face turned pale and blue, and he was extremely shocked in his heart. This matter was so secretive, how could he know about it? The guests who came to the wedding banquet all had looks of surprise and doubt on their faces, and some even whispered about whether it was true or not. Censor Chen was so frightened that he could only glare at Lu Zhanxing. "Master Chen, please don't get too excited. After all, I have evidence. You claimed that your daughter eloped with someone else, but you hid her in the study and raped her. Now she is pregnant. Master Chen, you are good at playing! We can never compare with you. Who can be as bad as you, Master Chen?" The last four words struck Chen Yushi's heart word by word, revealing all the filth in his heart. It can be imagined that if this matter reached the ears of the emperor tomorrow, he would be dismissed from his official position. "You are talking nonsense. I came here with good intentions to attend your wedding banquet, but you are slandering me like this. It is unreasonable." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave. Lu Zhanxing smiled and said to Madam Chen, who followed him: "Madam Chen, the master is so anxious, could it be that he is dealing with dirty things? You must catch up quickly, otherwise you and your daughter will be separated forever!" Mrs. Chen's face was pale. She had been looking for her daughter, and now it was the master... She bowed hastily, not daring to linger any longer, and hurriedly chased after him. After dealing with one person, Lu Zhanxing looked at the second person who spoke: "This is Lord Wang, right... What did you just say? Prime Minister Su suddenly changed his daughter to show his importance to our Anguo Mansion, right? You said that my second son, L, was going to get married, right?" "Uh……" Facing Lu Zhanxing's dangerous gaze, Lord Wang dodged and quickly apologized with a smile: "Second Master Lu must have heard it wrong. This is not what I meant..." Thinking that Lord Chen's reputation would be ruined tomorrow, he panicked. Everyone has some dirty deeds, and he didn't want them to be talked about in public. Losing face is a small matter, but losing his job is the real loss. "Then what do you mean? Tell me and let me analyze it." Lu Zhanxing said encouragingly. Lord Wang said quickly: "What I mean is that Mr. Lu and Miss Su are a perfect match made in heaven..." "That's not right! Didn't you say Miss Su was ugly?" "No, no, I have never seen Miss Su, and I don't know what she looks like. I only heard about her. It's all my fault for believing the slander of a villain. After all, Miss Su is from the Prime Minister's Mansion, so she must be talented." He came here just to cause trouble on the orders of the Fourth Prince, and he doesn't want to be dismissed from his official position! Lu Zhanxing raised his eyebrows and looked around: "I see... Have you all met Miss Su?" "No, no!" Everyone met Lu Zhanxing's gaze, took a step back abruptly, and shook their heads to deny it. "I've never seen you talk nonsense. As a well-known master and mistress, you just follow the crowd and say that everyone likes beauty. Isn't that normal? Miss Su was stabbed by someone when she was held hostage, and she didn't get timely treatment, so she got a scar. Why is it ugly here? Was she born like this?" "What's so vulgar about that? She's the daughter of the prime minister. Would the prime minister ignore the rules and teachings of his children? Do you look down on Prime Minister Su? Do you think Prime Minister Su will let his daughter fend for herself?" "Should we go confront Prime Minister Su?" His outburst made the people around him afraid to say a word. How could they have the guts to confront Prime Minister Su? Even if the eldest daughter of the Su family is vulgar, they dare not say anything. Looking down on the eldest daughter of the Su family means saying that Prime Minister Su did not teach her carefully. They dare not do that! "The Second Young Master is right. Prime Minister Su sent his eldest daughter to the Duke of Anguo's mansion to get married. There must be something extraordinary about her. It's our fault that we delayed the Second Young Master's wedding." "You just found out. I had postponed the wedding for an hour because of my grandfather's illness, and it was postponed for so long because of your interference. Are you here to make trouble? Don't you want to see me and Miss Su get married?" Lu Zhanxing said angrily. "No, no, it was we who were rude. When we get back, we will send another gift to express our apology." The guests apologized hastily. "You have to send two copies. My wife has been waiting at the door for so long. Shouldn't you show some appreciation?" "Yes, yes, we will send double to express our apology." The guests all responded with a smile, but their hearts were bleeding. Lu Zhanxing still thought it was not enough: "Then you all have to give better gifts. My wife is used to seeing good things, so you can't pass off inferior goods as good ones. Otherwise, I will give you a big gift to cheer you up." When everyone heard the word "great gift", how could they dare to pass off inferior goods as good ones? What if this guy had something on them? That would be bad news. They all said they would give up. Lu Zhanxing finally gave up and smiled: "Okay, everyone, follow the butler to the banquet! Thank you very much." As for other people's handles, you have to keep them for later. Everyone couldn't wait to go to the banquet, for fear that if they were a step late, they would be caught and exposed by Lu Zhanxing, which would not only ruin their reputation but also cost them their official positions. Among the people arranged by the Fourth Prince, Lord Wang secretly felt fortunate that he was not held accountable. Although he felt a little sad about losing two great gifts, it was better than losing his job and his reputation, right? Poor Lord Censor Chen, as a censor, I’m afraid he can’t keep this official position.
