I heard that Mrs. Lu wanted to ask for the hand of her daughter in marriage from her newly adopted concubine, Lu Guangzhi.

The wife of the Marquis Xuanping was so angry that she didn't even want to maintain her politeness. She gritted her teeth and said:

"Mrs. Lu is really joking."

Old Madam Lu had anticipated the reaction of the wife of Marquis Xuanping, but she did not expect it to be so disrespectful to her.

She was too embarrassed to bear it, and wiped her non-existent tears with a handkerchief, saying with a serious look:

"My husband died for our country, and my grandson Xiuyuan also went to the battlefield. Now I only have this grandson by my side, even though he is of a lower birth.

But the Lu family has no other grandsons, and with the Lu family's strong support in the future, he will have a bright future.

After all, your daughter was not raised by your side. Your daughter's abilities in all aspects cannot be acquired overnight. They require time to cultivate and accumulate experience.

Being the mistress of a noble family requires not only background, but also ability. The Lu Mansion has a simple population and clear affairs, so it is a good home for your daughter. "

The wife of Marquis Xuanping was really shocked by Madam Lu's shamelessness.

She clearly disliked her own daughter and showed her dislike in front of her own mother.

Lu Xiuyuan has such a confused grandmother and father, she would never marry her daughter to Lu Xiuyuan.

This will save you from being disgusted by confused elders every day, and it will be difficult to resist because of the elders' status.

"Someone, show the guests out."

Seeing that Lady Xuanping was so decisive, Lu Guangzhi, who was behind Old Lady Lu, spoke up:

"Madam, I have something to say. Please don't be impulsive.

Otherwise, too many people will hear it and ruin your daughter's reputation."

The wife of Marquis Xuanping knew that he could not produce ivory, but when it came to her daughter's reputation, she hesitated.

Seeing the effect, Lu Guangzhi continued:

"When Lu Xiuyuan was about to go to the battlefield, Princess Yanyang and the Gu family, with whom she was engaged at the time, discussed leaving a descendant for Lu Xiuyuan.

Princess Yan Yang looked down upon the maid sent by the Gu family, so Princess Yan Yang personally picked your daughter from the Gu family and took her back.

Lu Xiuyuan left the next day. If I tell anyone, everyone will know that your daughter is a fallen woman.

It would be better for you to marry your daughter to me. I will definitely hold my tongue and not let your daughter suffer any injustice."

The wife of the Marquis Xuanping was breathing heavily. The nanny beside her quickly patted her back. She calmed down a little and gave the order:

"Have someone close the door and refuse visitors."

Lu Guangzhi thought he had successfully threatened the wife of Marquis Xuanping, and he showed a smug look on his face. He was determined to ask them to give more dowry later.

Old Madam Lu was shocked. Guangzhi wanted to marry Xiuyuan's woman?

She doted on Guangzhi because the Lu family had few descendants, but Xiuyuan was raised in the Lu mansion since he was a child and grew up under her care, so naturally she had feelings for him.

She wanted to speak up and say that she would no longer ask for Danruo to marry Lu Guangzhi, but the wife of Marquis Xuanping had already asked the servants to surround her.

Lady Xuanping pointed at Lu Guangzhi in the room and said, "Give him a good lesson. If he dies, it will be my fault."

The wife of Marquis Xuanping suddenly attacked, catching everyone in the room off guard.

Mrs. Qiao anxiously shook Madam Lu, begging her to save her son, not caring at all that Madam Lu's frail body was dizzy from being shaken.

When Dan Ruo knew that Madam Lu and her group had entered the mansion, she sent someone to keep an eye on the movements in the flower hall. When she sensed something unusual and was afraid that she would be angry, she hurried over.

On the way, she met Princess Yan Yang who was communicating with the doorman at the gate and insisted on coming in. She asked someone to open the door and rushed to the flower hall with Princess Yan Yang.

The scene was very chaotic. The servants attacked Lu Guangzhi with sticks. Qiao felt sorry for her son's injury, so she rushed down and threw herself on him to protect him.

Since the wife of Marquis Xuanping did not stop, the servants continued to fight, but it was inevitable that Qiao would be injured by mistake. The wails of Qiao and Lu Guangzhi were heard at the same time.

When Mrs. Lu saw this, the wife of Marquis Xuanping did not stop.

He was angry that she didn't take his family seriously, but he was also afraid that she would really take advantage of her daughter being the queen to beat his grandson to death.

She was reprimanded and confined to her house for several years for no reason, but she actually lost a grandson.

So Old Madam Lu walked towards the center of the field. She didn't believe that the wife of Marquis Xuanping would dare to attack her, the widow of a general who died in battle.

The wife of Marquis Xuanping did order them to stop, on the one hand out of consideration for Old Madam Lu, and on the other hand because she saw her precious daughter and Princess Yanyang coming over.

But Mrs. Qiao was full of resentment, and when she saw the servant stop, she wanted to take revenge.

She used all her strength to hit the servant closest to her with her head. Qiao came from a poor family and was not a pampered lady over the years.

The servant was hit with all his strength by her and staggered back a few steps, losing his balance and about to fall backwards.

When Princess Yan Yang saw the servant coming out of nowhere and about to hit Dan Ruo with one meter left, she ran forward without thinking and bumped into the servant with her body sideways.

Both of them fell in other directions.

Dan Ruo could have avoided it on her own, but Princess Yan Yang's action made her feel warm. His mother was also trying hard to protect him when he was away.

Maybe it's the influence of pregnancy hormones, I've been feeling a little sentimental these days.

Dan Ruo and Princess Yan Yang's nanny stepped forward to help Princess Yan Yang up. Princess Yan Yang hit her waist and staggered as she was helped to the flower hall.

Princess Yan Yang's nanny stepped forward and kicked Qiao hard, forcing her to kneel on the ground.

"Such a wicked woman, how dare she harm the royal princess? Slap her in the face."

Qiao was about to protest for her innocence, but before she could open her mouth, she was slapped in the face, causing her ears to buzz.

Then there was no chance to speak again.

After ten slaps, Qiao's face was swollen like a pig's head, his cheeks were bloodshot, his mouth was full of blood, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

No one present spoke up for her, simply because the nanny who beat her was a favorite of the Empress Dowager.

The Queen Mother was afraid that her granddaughter Princess Yan Yang would suffer grievances after leaving the Lu Mansion, so she not only gave her a reward, but also specially asked her nanny to leave the palace to accompany the princess for a while.

When Mrs. Lu saw her daughter-in-law coming, she felt uneasy and wanted to say goodbye.

The wife of the Marquis Xuanping would not allow it. "Why, after slandering my daughter, you want to escape?"

Lu Guangzhi stiffened his neck and said, "I didn't slander your daughter. Your daughter has slept with Lu Xiuyuan a long time ago. Lu Xiuyuan just walked away. She is a fallen woman and doesn't allow anyone to say anything.

Unless you beat me to death, you marry your daughter to me, or I will spread the good news about your daughter to others."

Princess Yan Yang looked at Madam Lu:

"Old Madam, I never thought you would hide this from me for more than 20 years just for such a cheap thing.

Before Xiuyuan left, he had already married Miss Xuanping Hou. At that time, the war was urgent, so everything was kept simple. So I thought of holding a grand wedding after Xiuyuan returned."

After being shocked, Mrs. Lu said that since she had already worshipped heaven and earth, she was the granddaughter-in-law of the Lu family and should be brought back to live in the Lu family. What was the point of her living in her mother's house all day?
