Lu Man was already sitting on the sofa in the private room. She seemed to be getting impatient from waiting.
Gu Xin was used to being late and appeared extremely calm.
Lu Man looked up at her and did not say anything. The two of them walked towards the dining table.
The private room was very big, but the dining table was actually very small. It was very suitable for a small group of people to have a meal together.
The two of them sat opposite each other.
The waiters began to serve the dishes one after another. There were many dishes that Gu Xin liked to eat.
Whenever they went out, no matter where they ate, Lu man man would always consider Gu Xin’s taste first. She liked to eat what she liked and did not like to eat. It was as if she was really an extreme person. She liked to eat what she liked very much. As for the rest.., she really did not like to eat. She did not like to make do with what she had. She did not like to feel wronged.
Lu Man Man and Zhai an both took good care of her and always put her first.
She did not know if it was because when a person reached a certain age, they would have a lot of emotions. In the past, she had taken things for granted, but now, she was touched beyond words.
Lu Man looked at Gu Xin and asked, “What’s Wrong?”
“Nothing,”Gu Xin said to ease her emotions.
She did not like to be too pretentious.
Lu Man looked at her and smiled. “Are you unhappy with Zhai an?”
“Don’t spoil my appetite, okay?”Gu Xin did not seem to want to talk about Zhai an.
Lu Man picked up a piece of braised lion’s head and placed it on Gu Xin’s plate. She said, “Gu Xin, I called you out today because I want to talk to you about Zhai An.”
“Can we not talk about it?”Gu Xin looked at her unhappily.
“Let’s eat first.”Lu Man did not force her.
Gu Xin pursed her lips and ate in a depressed manner.
Lu man smiled silently and did not say anything else.
The two of them ate at a moderate pace. After about 40 minutes without drinking, the meal was almost over.
After they finished eating, the two of them sat on the balcony of the private room. The waiter served them flower tea and placed snacks on the table.
Looking out, they could see the bright moat decorated with sunlight. The moat was clean and the Willows on the surrounding banks were shaded.
Wen city was not only in northern Xia country, but also a prosperous metropolis in the entire world. Its per capita income was ranked in the top 50 cities in the world. Wen City’s economic development was also world-famous. The four big family businesses in Wen City were all ranked in the top 300 in the world. Among them, the Lu family was already in the top 100 in the world.
Lu Man found a very comfortable position and lay on the imperial concubine’s clothes, quietly looking at the city scenery in front of her.
It was said that the development of Wen City could not be achieved without the hard work and blood of the Wen family.
It might have been, but now..
The Wen family no longer had the innocence of the past, and started to turn from protection to plunder.
The northern Xia Empire had always maintained the traditional constitutional monarchy, and the imperial capital was the residence of the royal family. Since the northern Xia empire was conquered more than 300 years ago, it had always maintained its absolute leadership position, the supreme leader of the Northern Xia Empire was known as the commander-in-chief. As the Prime Minister, the Wen family had always been under the jurisdiction of the region north of Wen City. The Wen family’s old man had the highest authority in the region, and he was known as the Minister, an independent position that was higher than the position of provincial governor. One of the two great families of the Northern Xia Empire was the Nan family, which came from the south of the Nanshan Mountains. They were once a general when they attacked the country. After the northern Xia empire stabilized, they were mainly in charge of national defense, their main residence was in the Southern Mountain Province. The three cities formed the triangle of the northern Xia Empire.
