Chapter 12 Rejection

Tao Yunyun came to Zhongyong Hou Mansion twice more, but never met Lu Wanning again.

The palace examination ends in early March, and results will be released three days later.

Tao Yunyun's high school beauty scout.

When he learned the news, Tao Yunyun immediately took the things he had carried with him for more than half a year and went to the Zhongyong Hou Mansion.

Mrs. Tao had also heard the news that Tao Yunyun had been selected as the bride's scout. When she was about to send someone to Tao Yunyun's residence, she heard a servant coming to report that Tao Yunyun had come to the house.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Tao said happily: "Please ask someone to invite us to come in."

The little maid serving beside Mrs. Tao responded with a smile and went out to invite Tao Yunyun in.

After Tao Yunyun saluted Mr. Tao, he sat down and began to answer some of Mr. Tao's inquiries and concerns.

The timing of Tao Yunyun's arrival was coincidental. He and Mrs. Tao had just talked for a while before it was lunch time. Mrs. Tao asked him to have a meal in the house, and he readily agreed.

Lu Wanning didn't know that Tao Yunyun had entered the house. She had been eating with Mr. Tao every day recently. When it was lunch time, she went to eat with Mr. Tao as usual. She didn't know Tao Yunyun until she entered Mr. Tao's yard.

came, and Mrs. Tao stayed with Tao Yunyun for dinner.

After Lu Wanning heard this, she was ready to go back.

But Mrs. Tao and Tao Yunyun in the room had already heard the commotion. Mrs. Tao said to Tao Yunyun with some annoyance: "Look at me, I am so happy that I forgot that Ning'er has been dining with me during this period, so why don't I leave you to eat?"

I didn’t send anyone to tell Ning’er.”

After saying that, Mrs. Tao said to the outside: "Ning'er, we are all brothers and sisters. Since you are here, come in and say hello to your cousin."

Lu Wanning had no choice but to take back the steps to leave, and went into the house to meet Tao Yunyun and said, "I've met my cousin."

Tao Yunyun stood up, cupped his hands to Lu Wanning, and said in return: "Hello, cousin."

Although they are cousins ​​and Mrs. Tao is also here, it is not appropriate to eat at the same table.

After saying hello, Lu Wanning did not stay long and left after saying a few polite words.

But as soon as she left Tao's yard with her front legs, Tao Yunyun chased her out with her hind legs.

"Cousin, stay."

Lu Wanning stood still and turned to look at Tao Yunyun, "Cousin, is there anything wrong?"

Tao Yunyun was silent for a moment, and then said as if he was embarrassed: "Today the results of the imperial examination were released, and I was selected by the emperor to be the most handsome man."

Lu Wanning was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Congratulations to my cousin. My cousin is very knowledgeable and he deserves the title of "Than Hua Lang".

"Thank you, cousin. Actually... I stopped my cousin because I have something to give to my cousin."

After Tao Yunyun finished speaking, he took out a very delicate red box from his sleeve with red ears, handed it to Lu Wanning, and said: "I saw this by chance before, and thought it was very suitable for my cousin, so I bought it, but I never had it before.

I dare to give it to my cousin. This time, thanks to the emperor's attention, I was lucky enough to win first and third place, so I had the courage to give it to my cousin."

Lu Wanning was stunned and looked at the box in front of her quietly without reaching out to pick it up.

After a few breaths, Lu Wanning came back to her senses. She shook her head and said calmly, "Cousin, I will enter the palace in a while."

The April general election is already in early March, and beautiful ladies from all over the country have come to Beijing one after another. In less than a month, she will enter the palace.

When Tao Yunyun heard this, the blood on his face receded little by little and turned pale.

Lu Wanning sighed, but she still had the courage to say everything she needed to say clearly, "I have always regarded my cousin as my biological brother. I am very happy for my cousin this time as he is looking for the most beautiful girl in high school. It's a pity that I

I couldn’t prepare any gifts in advance, so I wish my cousin a bright future, a beautiful woman by his side, and a smooth life.”

After speaking, Lu Wanning stopped looking at Tao Yunyun's expression and turned to leave.

Tao Yunyun stood there for a long time, then withdrew his stiff hands and returned to Mrs. Tao with a pale face.

Mrs. Tao was startled when she saw Tao Yunyun coming in, "Yunyun, what's wrong with you? Did you not find something?"

After Lu Wanning left just now, Tao Yunyun and Mr. Tao suddenly said that he found that his wallet was lost and wanted to go out to look for it. Mr. Tao said that someone would help him find it, but Tao Yunyun insisted on looking for it himself. Mr. Tao had no choice but to have someone go find it for him.

.

Unexpectedly, Tao Yunyun would come back in just a short while with such a devastated look.

Tao Yunyun forced a smile and said: "I found it."

"Then what are you doing..." Mrs. Tao asked with concern: "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? If you feel uncomfortable somewhere, don't hold on."

Tao Yunyun shook his head, hesitated for a while, and still couldn't help asking: "Aunt, why does my cousin suddenly want to enter the palace?"

If the Zhongyong Hou Mansion had previously intended to send Lu Wanning to the palace, Tao would definitely not be able to hide it from his own brother. If his father knew about it, he would not have such thoughts.

When Mrs. Tao heard what Tao Yunyun said, there was nothing she didn't understand. Tao Yunyun didn't just lose something and go out to look for it, but went after Lu Wanning.

Seeing Tao Yunyun's uncomfortable look, Mrs. Tao sighed secretly. It was impossible to change Lu Wanning's entry into the palace. Tao Yunyun had better let him give up as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Tao said: "The old lady brought up the matter of entering the palace years ago. It just so happened that Wan Ning was also willing, so the matter was settled."

Hearing this, Tao Yunyun spoke with difficulty, "Cousin...is cousin also willing?"

Tao nodded.

Tao Yunyun's last delusion was shattered. He couldn't stay any longer and stood up in confusion to say goodbye to Mr. Tao.

Mrs. Tao was worried about his condition, but could not keep anyone else around, so she could only send her personal nanny to personally take Tao Yunyun back to her residence.

After the others left, Mrs. Tao went to Lu Wanning's place.

"Mom, you're here." Seeing Mrs. Tao come in, Lu Wanning stood up and greeted Mrs. Tao with a smile.

Mrs. Tao nodded, walked over to Lu Wanning and sat down, looked at her daughter who was smiling sweetly, and said, "Has your cousin been looking for you?"

Lu Wanning did not hide anything from Mrs. Tao, and admitted: "My cousin wanted to give me something, but I refused."

Mrs. Tao asked Lu Wanning not to blame Lu Wanning or anything, but just to ask. After hearing Lu Wanning's answer, she didn't say anything, but she couldn't help but feel pity in her heart. It would be better if Tao Yunyun's mother was not Su.

In this case, the two children would probably have been settled for a long time now.

After Lu Wanning and Tao Yunyun made their words clear, they no longer paid much attention to Tao Yunyun, and Tao Yunyun had never been to Zhongyong Hou Mansion since that day.

In the blink of an eye, the time has arrived at the end of March, and the day when Lu Wanning will enter the palace is getting closer and closer.

Lu Wanning also began to make final preparations for entering the palace.

Since Lu Wanyun let her into the palace because of her belly, in order to prevent Lu Wanyun from getting what he wanted, she must not get pregnant until she has enough ability to protect herself and her child.
