Do You Think Lu Yao Looks Like Lu Xuening?

Zhou Wanwan was certainly comfortable at the banquet, but Shangguan Wan'er, Lu Lan, and their group were really frustrated.

A group of people suggested going on a pleasure boat trip, and for some reason, they invited Zhou Wanwan along.

After finishing lunch, Zhou Wanwan also felt quite bored.

He pulled Shen Yunshu directly onto the flower boat. The Nie Family's flower boat was exceptionally exquisite, looking like a small pavilion floating on the water from a distance.

The Nie Family specially prepared two flower boats, one for male guests and the other for female guests.

The women's flower boat was decorated very comfortably, filled with exquisite snacks, fruits, and fine tea, which were available for everyone to enjoy at any time.

A musician was specially hired on board, sitting to the side and gently plucking the strings, making everyone feel relaxed.

Zhou Wanwan sat in the flower boat, leaning against the soft couch, listening to music and smelling the fragrance of flowers all over the boat. She felt extremely comfortable and light as a feather.

Just then, a panicked shout came from outside the boat, "Something's wrong! Someone has fallen into the water!"

Zhou Wanwan was startled and quickly got up and walked to the bow of the boat, leaning down to look down.

A woman was floating on the clear water.

The woman was exceptionally beautiful; even though she was soaking wet and her hair was disheveled and plastered to her face, it couldn't hide her delicate and pretty features.

She struggled slightly in the water, looking quite disheveled, yet she was still captivating.

Several people rushed over, and in the end Nie Feng rescued the woman.

Zhou Wanwan overheard the chatter around her. "Who is this young lady? Now that Nie Feng has rescued her, Nie Feng 'll probably have to marry her, right?"

Lu Lan frowned and said, "Little sister, don't scare me!"

Unexpectedly, this was Lu Lan's younger sister. Lu Lan quickly explained, "This is my younger sister whom I raised on the estate since she was little. She just came back recently. Her name is Lu Yao."

Lu Yao opened her eyes, looked around in shock, and said, "What happened to me? I was admiring the scenery at the stern of the boat when someone pushed me into the river."

Looking at Lu Yao's face, Nie Feng's heart fluttered. Nie Feng said, "It's alright, Miss Lu. Get some rest! Once we're ashore, I'll have my mother fetch a doctor for you to take a good look at."

Lu Yao shook her head and said, "That's too much trouble, no need."

Lu Lan went inside and helped her change her clothes, Nie Feng kept his eyes fixed on her.

Lu Yao pretended not to care and looked at the scenery outside.

Looking at Lu Yao, Lu Yao Zhou Wanwan a strange sense of familiarity with her.

Especially that voice; she felt like she'd heard it somewhere before.

This was just a minor incident, insignificant to her.

Once ashore, as expected, Madam Lu and Madam Nie reached an agreement.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the Old Scholar Tree and said, "I always feel that Lu Yao is a bit strange, but I can't quite put my finger on why."

The Old Scholar Tree clucked and asked, "Do you think that Lu Yao looks like Lu Xuening?"

Zhou Wanwan was taken aback and said, "Lu Xuening? Is that the high and mighty, proud woman of heaven?"

The Old Scholar Tree said, "This Lu Yao is Lu Xuening; she's had her face changed."

Zhou Wanwan opened her eyes wide and said:

"No way? There's such a strange thing? Isn't this like getting plastic surgery? Tsk tsk tsk..."

No, my curiosity is piqued, I have to go see how she got that face done!"

This is even more advanced than modern cosmetic surgery.

Zhou Wanwan moved closer to Lu Yao and examined her carefully.

Lu Yao looked at Zhou Wanwan calmly and said, "Why is this young lady staring at me?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said, "It's nothing, I'm just curious, I've never seen you before."

Lu Yao smiled faintly and said, "I was kept on the estate before and rarely went out."

Zhou Wanwan nodded, looking at her face, which was truly a masterpiece!

There's absolutely no sign of surgery on her face. How was that done in ancient times?

She had watched some TV dramas before, and those dramas also featured face-swapping.

But that's just a TV series!

This actually happened, and there was a woman next to her looking at her with a fierce gaze.

Zhou Wanwan looked up, and the woman looked away again.

Zhou Wanwan ran to the Old Scholar Tree again and asked, "Do I have a grudge against the woman next to her? Why do I always feel like there's something wrong with the way she looks at me?"

The Old Scholar Tree laughed heartily, "Do you know who that woman is?"

Zhou Wanwan thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "I don't know, I really couldn't tell."

The Old Scholar Tree whispered, "That's Lu Xuening's mother..."

"Oh my god! It's that old hag! No, I have to go check again. How did that old hag turn into a teenage girl? Hahaha..." Zhou Wanwan's curiosity was piqued once again.

She ran straight up to Madam Lu, looking her up and down, left and right.

Madam Lu felt uneasy under her gaze and asked softly, "Is there something you need, young lady?"

Zhou Wanwan waved her hand and said, "No, no, I'm just curious, which family does this young lady belong to?"

Lu Lan coughed and said, "This is my youngest aunt, she's only 16 years old this year. She's usually kept in seclusion and doesn't appear in public."

In ancient times, you could create any identity you wanted.

The key point is that these women in ancient times, who were kept in seclusion, really didn't go out much, so it was perfectly normal that no one knew about them.

The woman smiled and said, "My name is Lu Zhiwei, it's nice to meet you all."

All eyes in the room fell on her. She was so beautiful that she far surpassed Lu Yao in appearance, with exquisite features and fair skin.

Many young men on the shore and on the pleasure boats were stunned, staring blankly at her, forgetting to say a word.

The ladies nearby also began to discuss curiously, asking each other, "Whose daughter is this? She's so beautiful, how come we've never seen her before?"

Old Madam Lu, beaming with pride, began to speak:

"You don't know this, this is my youngest daughter."

She was quiet by nature from a young age and didn't like going out, so she was rarely seen by people.

But she was extremely intelligent, and she excelled in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

Whether it's poetry or needlework, she's far superior to others; I've doted on her since she was little.

She paused, then said:

"To be honest, Zhiwei will be entering the palace soon."

"I brought her out here specifically to broaden her horizons and prevent her from getting bored staying cooped up at home all the time."

"Madam is so fortunate! Look at Miss Lu's appearance and demeanor, you won't find another like her in the entire capital!"

With such exceptional talent and beauty, if she were to enter the palace, Her Majesty would surely take a liking to her at first sight!

"Yes, yes, with Miss Lu's talent and beauty, she will surely rise to prominence in the future, and becoming a concubine or imperial consort will be a piece of cake."

She might even rise to the top and become the most favored concubine in the harem!

Zhou Wanwan couldn't hold back any longer, so she ran out and burst into laughter:

"Uncle Scholar Tree, I really can't help it, that old hag is almost forty years old, isn't she?"

"Trying to look young? I almost burst out laughing."
