At this time, Zhu Xianyue was reciting Buddhist scriptures to Madam Lu in a room heated by a floor heater.

Madam Lu deliberately kept her.

Zhu Xianyue also knew that the investigation was not over yet.

As long as she behaves herself.

only……

Things don't always go as planned.

The foolish Emperor of the Yan Dynasty followed Concubine Chang's advice and ordered Lu Chengyuan to go to the battlefield immediately to catch the enemy off guard.

The king's orders cannot be disobeyed.

Even if the army was not well trained, Lu Chengyuan had to go into battle and kill the enemy.

Otherwise, it would be disobeying the imperial decree and all nine generations of the family would be executed.

The Emperor of the Yan Dynasty did not even allow Lu Chengyuan to return home and urged him to go to war.

When the news came, Mrs. Lu fainted from sadness.

Zhu Xianyue also clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

Ziwei Pavilion had not been renovated yet, so she still lived in her original house.

The difference is that the amount of food is adjusted according to the aunt's portion.

Zhaoyue became her maid, taking care of her daily life.

From potentially becoming a concubine's concubine to being a maid now, others felt sorry for Zhaoyue, but Zhaoyue herself did not think so.

She is stupid, and her only advantage is that she can recognize her stupidity.

I don't ask for great wealth and honor, I just want to live in peace.

Zhu Xianyue clenched her fingers.

She knew she would get pregnant.

But she didn't expect Lu Chengyuan to leave her so soon.

"Miss, don't worry, the general will definitely return safely..." Zhaoyue said.

But her voice was clearly trembling and lacked confidence.

The journey is long and arduous, and it is likely to be dangerous.

After a while, the old woman outside the door handed in a letter.

The old woman said that this was sent by Lu Chengyuan's confidant at full speed.

Time is urgent, so there is only one letter.

There was nothing written on the letter, it was blank.

"What does this mean, General?"

Zhaoyue asked the question for her.

Zhu Xianyue also couldn't understand this wordless book.

But when she pulled out the letter, she found a red bean hidden inside.

…

Old Madam Lu slowly woke up.

Aunt Liu whispered in her ear, "Miss Xianyue has been waiting for a long time."

Waiting to serve her.

"She is a thoughtful person, let her in!"

When Zhu Xianyue saw Old Madam Lu, her heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

In just a few hours, Madam Lu seemed to have aged ten years.

But she is only forty-nine now.

"Old lady..."

"Good boy, what are you doing outside? I have been through a lot and I won't fall down easily."

It would be a lie to say that I'm not worried at all.

It was Lu Chengyuan who brought the jade pendant he always wore. Nanny Liu placed the jade pendant in Old Madam Lu's arms, and then Old Madam Lu woke up.

Now, Madam Lu stuffed the jade pendant into Zhu Xianyue's arms.

Then he said, "At that time, Brother Yuan was still young, without parents, and was gossiped about."

"But he never told me. He would just hug me and say, 'I have my grandmother, that's all I need!'"

How is it possible for a child not to care about his parents?

Poor Lu Chengyuan has been sensible since he was a child.

I don't want to cause trouble for Madam Lu.

"This jade pendant was left by Yuan'er's mother. I, an old woman, am giving it to you now. Xianyue... take care of yourself!"

Although she had slept with Lu Chengyuan, who could guarantee that she would get pregnant in those two nights?

What's more, the words of the bald monk are lingering in my mind.

Therefore, Mrs. Lu did not hold out much hope.

She thought that she could die, but not now.

The general died in a hundred battles, but Lu Chengyuan was afraid that he would not be able to wait for the day when the hero would return after ten years.

But she had to stay home and wait to organize a grand funeral for Lu Chengyuan.
